Chapter 510 Body Detection
The elevator is a temporary passage paved with wooden planks.
A few people turned three or four corners and finally saw a body lying on a steel support.
The corpse curled up, as if it was convulsing.
A few meters away from the body, three workers wearing yellow safety helmets were watching, but they did not dare to get close.
Lu Chuan put on three layers of white gloves and squatted in front of the body: "Has any worker touched the body?"
The person in charge who followed him looked at the three workers: "Has any of you touched the body?"< br>
One of the workers, who was about 40 years old, took a step forward. His eyes were a little evasive and his voice was trembling: "Alive...when we were alive, I...I, I...we touched...dead, dead...dead." After...the doctor came...to see...we...never touched him..."
Lu Chuan raised his head and looked at the other person: "Do you know the deceased?"
The man nodded. Head: "We are... the same team... we are all steel workers... we have worked... at this... construction site... for more than a year, and we all... know each other."
Lu Chuan nodded. Based on the information obtained so far, the cause of death seemed to be food poisoning, but general food poisoning can cause vomiting, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms.
However, it usually does not cause serious fatality, or the time to death is not that fast.
There are many possibilities for food poisoning, which can usually be divided into three categories. One is food poisoning caused by pesticide residues on food, and the other is poisoning caused by eating poisonous animals and plants. One type of poisoning is caused by eating moldy food.
“Did you have breakfast together this morning?”
The man shook his head: “No, he had breakfast in the canteen at the construction site, and we had breakfast at home. .”
Have breakfast in the cafeteria?
Lu Chuan looked at the person in charge: "Did those who had poisoning reactions eat in the canteen at the construction site?"
"I'm not sure yet, but the two who died ate in the canteen. "
He was a little lucky. He usually had breakfast at the construction site. Yesterday, he drank too much with a client and stayed in a hotel. This morning he had breakfast at the hotel.
Otherwise, he might be one of the people lying on the ground now.
Lu Chuan roughly understood the situation and began to examine the body.
"The corpse was highly curled up, the tendons were twitching and tense, the esophagus... was blocked, the face was cyanotic... and he died of suffocation."
Liu Guodong was on Lu Chuan's side, also checking: "Looking at Such as vomiting caused by epileptic seizures and suffocation caused by food blocking the esophagus."
Lu Chuan nodded: "It is highly likely... but it is somewhat unlikely that this will happen with poisoning."
Food poisoning, in most cases, will cause stomach discomfort in the eater, leading to vomiting, foaming at the mouth, etc.
But the deceased suffered an epileptic seizure, which caused obvious signs of suffocation caused by food blocking the esophagus.
Compared to death caused by food poisoning, death caused by epileptic seizures is more likely.
“Where is the other body?”
“In front, not far away, there are people watching there.”
Lu Chuan and others stood up and turned around Prefab, saw another body.
Unlike the first body that was curled up on the ground, this body was lying flat on a flat surface tied with steel bars, with its face facing one side and its body stretched out.
There are two people around, also workers wearing yellow safety helmets.
This time there was no need for Lu Chuan to ask, the person in charge began to explain the situation himself.
"This man's name is Zhang San, and he is also a steel worker in their group. Like the person who just died, he lives at the construction site and eats in the canteen in the morning."
"You guys Do all the workers live on the construction site? ”
“Only a small number of people live on the construction site, and some of them rent houses in the city.”
“Those who live on the construction site are generally single people who come from rural areas to work. There are long-term workers and short-term workers. But those who live in the city usually stay in the city for a long time. If there is work, they will come to work, and if there is no work, they will go to do other things."
Lu Chuan squatted in front of the corpse and opened his eyes to look carefully. Because the body had just died and the body had not yet cooled down, rigor mortis was in the process of occurring.
“There are no symptoms of stomach poisoning, the eyes are congested and swollen, and there are some characteristics of death from cerebral hemorrhage.”
Yang Sen was a little strange: "The corpse just now was suspected of suffocation caused by epilepsy. This corpse died of cerebral hemorrhage, which is a bit strange."
It is indeed strange. If the other party did die of food poisoning, then there is a high probability It's the same poison.
In most cases, the symptoms caused by a toxin should be relatively similar, such as vomiting, dizziness, hallucinations, etc.
But of the two corpses, one died of epilepsy and suffocation, and the other died of cerebral hemorrhage.
Compared with poisoning, it seems easier for the other party to understand that the problem is an epileptic seizure or a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
"What are the symptoms of other people who were sent to the hospital?"
"There are all kinds of symptoms, including dizziness, vomiting, convulsions, and some people have hallucinations."
So many symptoms?
Don’t these people have the same toxin?
"In this case, let's transport the body down first and let the forensic autopsy do a toxicological analysis."
"Okay, let's do this first."
Since he died of poisoning, the on-site investigation work is much simpler.
The body will be handed over to the forensic doctor for toxicological analysis, and there may be some results.
"Old Liu! Old Liu! Send someone to the construction site canteen."
A few people were busy when Qin Yong's voice came from the intercom.
"Xiao Lu, please go over and take a look."
"Okay, I'll go over right now."
Taking the engineering elevator that was leaking air everywhere, Lu Chuan arrived at the construction site canteen twenty minutes later.
Qin Yong, Sun Jun, Zhang Hui and others are all there.
"Xiao Lu, come here."
While Lu Chuan and others were inspecting the body above, the action team's visit and investigation also yielded certain clues.
"Zhang Hui, please introduce the situation to Xiao Lu."
"Okay!"
Zhang Hui took a small book: "Based on the visit and investigation just now The result is basically certain that the source of food poisoning is the canteen at the construction site."
This is roughly consistent with the information Lu Chuan judged.
"The hospital has admitted a total of more than thirty people, and more than a dozen of them have severe symptoms. Two of them have died because rescue efforts failed."
Two people?
“Two more people died at the hospital?”
Zhang Hui nodded: “Yes, there were two people at the construction site who were already confirmed dead when the doctor came, and were later taken to the hospital. Later, two people died due to acute respiratory failure."
Lu Chuan frowned and said, in this case, four people will die!
"How are the dozen or so people with severe symptoms doing now?"
Four people died, which is already a major case, not to mention there are more than a dozen critically ill patients.
If everything went wrong...
Lu Chuan couldn't even imagine what would happen next.
