Sebastian held the camera and walked around in a circle, and finally ran to Zhou Yan.
"Y, what do you think this is?"
Zhou Yan looked at the chaotic scene and frowned, "Could it be food poisoning?"
So Many people were poisoned at the same time, and it was not long after they finished eating. Zhou Yan naturally guessed that everyone had food poisoning.
"It's the same as I guessed." Sebastian nodded, "The two of us only ate sandwiches, so I think the source of the toxin is those seafood."
Although the sample is not sufficient, Zhou Yan also agrees with the conclusion reached by Sebastian.
He turned around and asked Hilda of the lighting team who was also fine not far away, "Hilda, what did you eat today?"
Hilda thought for a while and said , "I ate a piece of bread."
He also didn't eat seafood, and there was one more sample.
Hearing their conversation, several other people in normal condition also thought about what they had eaten for lunch today.
"I didn't eat anything for lunch."
"I only ate half a sandwich."
"I only drank a glass of milk."
……
Although everyone eats different things, without exception, all people who are in normal condition do not eat seafood.
At this point, they had determined the source of the toxin was seafood.
However, they were unable to determine whether the toxin was inherent in the seafood itself or whether someone had maliciously put it there.
Except for the doctor Shelia, no one else in the entire crew knows much about this knowledge.
Hilda looked at everyone's state and guessed, "Could it be a street drug?"
Sebastian frowned, "Who is in our crew? Is there such a thing?”
"I don't know, but everyone's symptoms are a bit like taking some kind of street drug by mistake."
"It's a bit similar, but it's also a bit different."
……
Hearing them discussing whether the source of the drug came from a street drug, Zhou Yan remained silent because it involved a blind spot in his knowledge.
Zhou Yan had seen what it looked like after taking drugs on TV, but he didn’t know what it looked like after accidentally ingesting it. He didn’t even know what Hilda meant by “accidental ingestion”.
Does it mean that street drugs are supposed to be injected, but if they are eaten into the stomach, will they cause this kind of poisoning reaction?
They chatted for a while, but couldn't get an answer, so they stopped studying.
Too many people were incapacitated and they had to do something.
Sebastian remained rational, holding a camera to record the scene while directing others to work.
"Hilda, Mike, go get the stretcher and lift James off the boat first. You may have to drive to the hospital later, and they definitely don't have enough cars."
"Noel, Sean, you two go check everyone's condition. If there is anyone in poor condition, lift him down first."
......
Seeing that Sebastian is calm Commanding the scene calmly, Zhou Yan couldn't help but nod. He told Sebastian that he would cooperate in the future. In fact, it was mostly a joke. But now seeing that this guy has such a stable mentality and has such a strong on-site scheduling ability, he really got excited. I want to cooperate with this guy in the future.
If he really wants to make a movie in North America in the future, he will be much less stressed if he has a helper like Sebastian around him.
In fact, there are many talents in the crew of "Titanic". Zhou Yan also discovered this during this time, such as Christie who is hugging him tightly now. As the second assistant director of the crew, this girl can not only manage the scene, He even has the ability of a professional storyboard artist and has strong art skills.
Dartmouth Central Hospital was not very efficient. It took more than thirty minutes for two cars to arrive.
In fact, the Central Hospital is not far from here. If the response is timely, it can be reached in about ten minutes.
At this moment, Christie had let go of Zhou Yan. She seemed to be very hostile to James Cameron. When she hugged Zhou Yan, she kept staring at James Cameron.
It wasn't until Hilda and Mike carried James Cameron away that she breathed a sigh of relief, then fell to the ground, covering her head and howling.
People from the Central Hospital came to the scene and were dumbfounded when they saw dozens of people lying on the deck.
In a place like Dartmouth, they don't have the opportunity to see such a big scene.
Not many of them came, but fortunately Zhou Yan and the others were able to help.
There were not enough stretchers, so Zhou Yan and the others carried people down one by one.
After everyone was sent to the car, Zhou Yan was so tired that he was breathing heavily.
He has been exercising all year round and is in good physical condition, but he is still exhausted, let alone the others. When Hilda and the others put down the stretcher, they collapsed directly on the ground, and big beads of sweat fell from them. The forehead fell, and soon the ground in front of them was soaked.
However, there is not much rest time left for them. They have to follow them to the hospital later. With so many people, the hospital is too busy, so they have to follow.
......
As soon as Zhou Yan and the others arrived at the hospital, they were frightened by the scene in front of them.
Christie was seen grabbing a ballpoint pen from the doctor's pocket, and then angrily rushed towards James Cameron, who was half sitting on the ground.
“Stop her quickly!”
The doctor yelled and reached out to grab Christie, but he didn't expect that she was very agile after being poisoned and stepped out in one step, leaving the doctor with no chance.
Zhou Yan reacted faster and rushed over quickly.
As soon as they arrived, Christie's pen was already thrust into James Cameron's eyes.
In this case, Zhou Yan could only stretch out his arm to block it.
The ballpoint pen stabbed Zhou Yan's arm directly, making a cut.
Christie used a lot of force, and the cut was very deep. Soon, blood flowed out from the wound.
At this time, other people also caught up and pulled Christie aside.
Everyone looked at the wound on Zhou Yan’s arm and felt frightened.
If Zhou Yan did not block this stroke, but let Christie stick it firmly in James Cameron's eyes, then James Cameron would be in danger.
If you are lucky, only one eye will be lost. If you are not lucky, if the pen is inserted deeper, the person will probably be gone.
But at this moment, James Cameron, the person involved, was completely unaware. He was still the same as on the deck, one eye was red, and the other eye seemed to be covered with a layer of glue, even the eyeballs were blurred.
He stared at the arm in front of him and suddenly laughed silly.
The doctor who had just been robbed of his pen breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the nurse, "There is another injured person. Find someone to bandage him."
Zhou Yan also checked Looking at my own injuries, luckily the ballpoint pen was not sharp enough. It only caused skin trauma and no damage to the muscles or bones. The only troublesome thing was that some ink got into the wound and it needed to be cleaned carefully.
Originally, he was actually wearing a thin coat, but he had been busy just now and there was a lot of vomit on his clothes, so he took off his clothes on the way to the hospital.
Otherwise, the injury should be much lighter through the coat.
......
Two hours later, the situation was slowly brought under control, many people regained their senses, and some were even able to get out of bed and walk around.
Lori and the other young people have a very good attitude, which can even be said to be heartless. After they woke up, they sat in a wheelchair and played roller skating with the actor Bill Paston who played the explorer. During the game, they seemed to enjoy the lively scene.
Yes, Dartmouth Central Hospital is very busy at this time.
If such a big thing happened, the local police would definitely get involved. In addition, some local media reporters also came over after hearing the news.
As the only member of the directing team who was not poisoned, Sebastian had to deal with harassment from reporters while being questioned by the police.
Fortunately, the police didn’t want the matter to escalate, so they kicked the reporters out.
Until six o'clock in the evening, the police began to interview people at the scene one by one. As Zhou Yan and the others were among the few people who were not poisoned, they were naturally the first to be questioned. At this time, the video taken by Sebastian also played a role. By watching the video, the police were able to basically understand what happened after the incident.
After Zhou Yan chatted with the police for about ten minutes, he asked, "Will this matter affect my return to China tomorrow?"
The police did not answer Zhou Yan directly, but said in a business-like manner, "Before the matter comes to an end, , we all need your cooperation in the investigation, I hope you can understand."
"When will the test report be available?" Zhou Yan asked again.
"Will come out as soon as possible."
Seeing the police doing Tai Chi with him, Zhou Yan sighed slightly, and he also knew that this matter was more troublesome.
What he is most worried about now is that this matter will affect his subsequent itinerary.
He could accept it if it was only delayed for a day or two, but he was afraid that the delay would be too long.
Fortunately, the police only asked them not to leave the hospital for the time being, and they did not restrict contact with the outside world. Zhou Yan also talked to Zhang Youan on the phone, but Zhang Youan had already gone to New York and could not come over now.
Hearing Zhou Yan’s description, Zhang Youan couldn’t believe it. This thing was too magical.
"I suspect that someone poisoned him." Zhang Youan boldly guessed, "James was too domineering at the scene, and someone probably deliberately wanted to cause him some trouble."
Zhou Yan also had such a guess, but he still couldn't believe it. "This is too much trouble. If there are casualties, it will be troublesome."
"How is everyone's situation now?"
"Most people are awake, and a few people are in a dizzy state."
"It probably has something to do with the amount of food you eat... How many of you are not poisoned?"< br>
“Except for me, there are only eight people who have not been poisoned. Do you suspect that the person who poisoned is among these people?”
"That's not the case. On the contrary, I think the person who was not poisoned is the least suspicious. The murderer usually keeps himself in a less conspicuous place, so he should have eaten seafood himself, but he certainly didn't eat much. So I think , If the murderer is someone from the crew, then those with mild symptoms are the most suspect."
Zhou Yan also thinks that Zhang Youan's speculation makes sense.
The poison is so powerful that the murderer would not dare to eat too much even if he tried to use bitter meat.
Even if the poison is not fatal, it would not be good if a Christie or James Cameron situation occurred.
But it’s useless for them to guess here. Everything still depends on the police investigation. Now they don’t even know what kind of poison everyone has.
Maybe their guess is fundamentally wrong. The source of the toxin is the seafood itself, not someone poisoning it at all.
......
It wasn't until the next morning that the police came and announced that they could go back. As for the results of the investigation, it would take some time to come out.
Although Zhou Yan was happy that the trip was not delayed, the attitude of the local police also made him feel weird, as if they had no intention of finding out who the murderer was.
Nowadays, when they see that people who are poisoned are basically not in serious trouble, they also want to minimize the big problem and make it a trivial matter.
Zhou Yan even suspected that even if someone did poison him, they would eventually rule it as ordinary food poisoning.
Before leaving, Zhou Yan went to meet James Cameron.
James Cameron is still in the hospital bed. His condition is much better than yesterday, and his eyes are back to normal.
Talking about what happened yesterday, there was no special expression on his face. Zhou Yan originally thought he would be very angry.
After meeting Zhou Yan, he even laughed, "It was a good adventure. Maybe one day I will want to make a movie about what happened yesterday."
Seeing that he could still joke, Zhou Yan nodded, "If it's going to be made into a movie, we can have the original cast appear."
"Then who do you think should be the protagonist of this movie?" James Came Long looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.
"That must be you."
James Cameron shook his head, "If there is a protagonist in this movie, it should be you. I heard them say that it was you from Christie's yesterday. My men saved me, otherwise, I would only be able to look at you with one eye now, and I wouldn’t even have the chance to look at you.”
At this point, he glanced at Zhou Yan’s arm again. The gauze wrapped around the arm said, "This arm of yours saved "Titanic". On behalf of the entire crew, I want to thank you."
I have to say that James Cameron is really different from ordinary people. He did not thank Zhou Yan for saving him, but wanted to thank Zhou Yan for saving "Titanic".
"You are too polite. In the situation yesterday, anyone would have done the same thing."
"But you were there."
Then James Cameron also had no intention of talking about this matter again. He talked about the movie soundtrack again, "This incident will not affect the filming progress of the movie. Now that the movie has a theme song, this is a good thing for us, but I I hope I can hear more good news next time we meet. When are you going to Mexico?"
Zhou Yan thought about it and said, "Maybe until December."
"Well, then you can still make it in time for filming."
"It doesn't matter if you can't make it. I've already arranged for someone to go to the scene."
"I heard Sebastian say, I'll let him arrange your people on site."
"Thank you."
The two chatted briefly before Zhou Yan stood up and left.
Although James Cameron has regained consciousness, his condition is still very poor and he needs to rest.
Then Zhou Yan said goodbye to Sebastian and embarked on the return journey.
......
The day after returning to China, Zhou Yan received a call from Sebastian. He told Zhou Yan on the phone that the poisoning report had come out and that someone was cooking the lobster bisque. Almost 500 grams of PCP were put inside.
This was the first time Zhou Yan heard about PCP and he had no idea what it was. After Sebastian explained it, he learned that it was a sedative for animals.
When the body absorbs it, it can cause serious and long-term behavioral problems, such as mental retardation, perceptual errors, paranoia, hostility, and violent behavior.
High doses of pcp can cause people to fall into dizziness for several hours, lose motor coordination, produce hallucinations, lose their sense of pain, and temporarily become extremely strong.
This drug rarely directly causes death, but the weird behavior after taking it often causes casualties, so it is also called the invisible killer.
It also has a name, called "angel powder". Because it is cheap, easy to obtain, has a strong euphoric effect, and can replace drugs, many young drug addicts like to take it.
The symptoms caused by PCP were indeed consistent with the situation on the ship that day. Zhou Yan finally understood why Christie was so energetic.
Zhou Yan asked again if he had any clues about the murderer, and Sebastian regretfully told him that the crew had not received any information yet.
Not to mention the situation of the suspect, even the progress of the investigation, the local police did not announce to the crew because it involves personal privacy and human rights projects.
Fortunately, everyone on the crew recovered.
In view of the current situation, they will not stay in Dartmouth longer and prepare to leave for Mexico in the next two days.
Zhou Yan has a feeling that this matter may end up in nothing.
Because PCP is relatively easy to obtain, with today's technology, this case would have been difficult to solve. In addition, the local police had no intention of solving it, and it was even less likely that there would be any results.
At the same time, this incident will definitely drive a nail into the hearts of everyone, James, because they know that the murderer is in the crew.
Everyone in the crew must be guessing who the murderer is.
It is estimated that the crew will pay special attention to diet in the future to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
At the end of the chat, Sebastian said again, "After Christie woke up, she found out what she did and was very upset. After all, she almost killed James. You saved James and you saved her. ”
"She didn't mean it, it was all behavior under the control of drugs."
"Although it was under the influence of drugs, many people said that she had already had objections to James, but her emotions were affected by the drugs. Zoomed in." Sebastian said with a smile, "Why didn't she attack you instead of hugging you? "
This is Sebastian. Christie hinted Zhou Yan for the second time that he was interested in him, but Zhou Yan did not take the hint, "In a few days, the person I arranged will go to Mexico. You can help me take care of it."
"No problem, I have already Arranged their accommodation.”
“Thank you.”
"It's a trivial matter. After all, you are now the hero of our crew." (End of Chapter)
