Chapter 293 - The First Suspect - Yoshiyuki Kono

Just because the ambulance is here doesn't mean they're safe, because the sound of the ambulance's horn can't disperse sarin gas. They must wait until the sarin gas has dissipated to a certain extent before they can safely leave here - liquid sarin gas is a persistent agent, in case the concentration is extremely high, even if this is an open terrain, the effect of sarin gas will not be very good, and if there is no special detoxification measures, it is likely to retain a very high concentration in a certain place, so it is definitely not a good choice to go out rashly.

After a few more minutes, more ambulances and fire engines honked their horns.

"I think the situation is quite serious this time......" Qianyu said, already lifting the corner of the curtain and looking outside. Even the Rice Flower Central Hospital is not equipped with so many ambulances. ”

"This time the situation is definitely not trivial," Gray Yuan said solemnly. "If it's a terrorist attack, it's definitely the event of the year this year."

Just then, the phone in the house rang.

“?” Genta was about to run over to answer the phone, but was stopped by Conan. "Wait a minute, we can't be sure who is calling!"

"The ambulances are coming, do they all want to stay here?" Thousand Feathers tilted their heads. "Shouldn't running away be the standard practice at this point?"

At this time, three ambulances and a fire truck stopped under the hotel where they were staying, and a group of people wearing obviously much lower chemical protection suits ran into the hotel gate.

"You check the first floor, let's check the upstairs!" One of them shouted.

"Maybe it's not a big deal." Gray Yuan said after looking at the chemical protective suits on their bodies.

………… Shinshu University Hospital (This is a real hospital in Matsumoto City, about two to three kilometers northeast of where Chiba and they stayed.) After the accident, this is the nearest major hospital. In one of the wards, the doctor looked at Qian Yu and the others who were sitting across from him, and then looked at the test report in his hand with some surprise.

"Even though they were in close proximity to the patient next door, they didn't have the same negative indicators as the guy who had fallen into convulsions, so it was obviously fine." The doctor looked at the test report and said.

"When we opened the door, we found that the window had been sealed with duct tape," said a nurse next to us. "It looks like they did a very good quarantine in a timely manner."

"Really?" The doctor was surprised. "That's pretty impressive......"

Just then, a doctor pushed open the door and walked in.

"The patient is experiencing symptoms of muscle tremors and persistent spasms of smooth muscles, which I suspect is caused by a large-scale pesticide leak, and I ask for the right to prescribe atropine and pralidoxime to combat the M-like symptoms (muscarinic symptoms such as sympathetic nerve excitation, which are treated symptomatically by atropine) and N-like symptoms (nicotinic symptoms such as muscle tremors, which are treated symptomatically by pralidoxime)......" He said halfway, but looked at Qian Yu and the others. How are you? ”

"New doctor?" Qian Yu was stunned. "Why are you here?"

"I was just here for a meeting and was arranging a hotel to rest, but I was urgently summoned to deal with a sudden illness." The new doctor's face was unconcealed in his surprise. "Why are you here?"

"I also feel that it is a pesticide problem," the testing doctor of Qianyu and others wrote a note to the new doctor. "This slip is the highest authorization my level can give, and it should be just enough for you to prescribe these two drugs. If the combination of atropine and pralidoxime works, remember to tell me - oh yes, pralidoxime will enhance the effect of atropine, please reduce the amount of atropine slightly when combined. ”

"I understand." With that, the new doctor took the slip and left in a hurry.

"You shouldn't have anything out of the ordinary," the doctor then said to Chiba and the others. "However, considering the potential risks, you will have to change places for the time being - the entire Fukashi District (I don't remember saying it, but again, Fukashi District is the area where Matsumoto Station is located, which is the area where Chiba and the others stayed before) have potential poisoning risks."

"Okay." Dr. Asasa nodded. "I'll take the kids to a different place."

………… A few hours later, at 6:30 a.m. on June 28, 1994.

Chiba and Gray Yuan sat side by side on a stool leaning against the wall, communicating on their mobile phones.

"How did you know there was no sarin gas out there?" Qian Yu asked. "If it weren't for your insistence on vouching for it, I would never have let you open the door."

"Their hazmat suits are very low-level and only a simple protective mask in terms of respiratory protection. I've come into contact with this mask before, and the biology department has used it before, but the special gas R&D department won't even touch it - the protective mask doesn't have any protection against the poison gases they come into contact with. The fact that they were able to run here alive means that the gas here is not enough to harm them (especially considering that they inhaled a lot of air for running, so the amount of poison gas they inhaled is far less than the amount of poison gas that Qianyu may inhale when they go downstairs and leave here, and this amount can't hurt those medical staff, which basically means that Qianyu will not be in much danger when they go downstairs). Just go to the hospital for a check-up, and you can rule out the last bit of poisoning. That's why I'm sure the sarin gas is basically gone. ”

That's when the sound of the TV turning on caught their attention. A few seconds later, the TV turns on - Dr. Asa is surrounded by Conan and Ayumi, staring at the TV screen together.

“…… Nai, this is the urgent news from Nikmai TV. "On the screen, a woman with curly hair is doing a report." Just yesterday evening, a large number of residents of Fukashi Ward, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, were found to have abnormal symptoms at home and were rushed to hospitals, with more than 1,000 patients and more than 20 people reportedly deceased. ”

"Oh my God!" Chiba heard Ayumi's exclamation.

"It is reported that the police have intervened in the case and have summoned the first informant, Yoshiyuki Kono, and the investigation of the case is currently underway. In addition, according to exclusive information, the police have found a variety of pesticides after searching Kono's home, and it is not yet confirmed whether these pesticides can produce the symptomatic effect of this incident, but it is likely that this will be a breakthrough in this case. ”

"How so?" Conan frowned. "What we saw was two people......"

"This man is probably wronged!" Mitsuhiko was surprised. "We have to call the police and tell them what we saw!"

"Feel free," Qian Yu said after a moment of thought. "But let me remind you first, I don't think this matter can be handled by a small group, and if you want to give testimony, it's better to use your phone or letter or something like that than to report the crime directly."
