Ding Qiunan hurriedly opened the bottle of salt water and poured it into her husband's hand.
Li Chu washed his hands with salt water and washed his face.
Then he opened another bottle and asked Ding Qiunan to wash it too.
When I poured out the envelope just now, the flour must have risen.
After both of them had washed, Li Chu took out a pair of rubber gloves used by surgeons for surgery and put them on his hands from the drawer.
He took another document bag and asked Ding Qiunan to stand far away. He held his breath and put the strangely folded letter paper inside.
Then he carefully swept the noodles that had fallen on the table into the open envelope in front of him.
The envelope was low and there was still a lot of flour that had not been poured out.
I took a rag and wiped it on the table and the floor.
After watching her husband get everything done, Ding Qiunan asked anxiously: "Li Chu, what on earth is going on? Is that white powder noodles poisonous?"
Li Chu shook his head: "I don't know either, I'm going to take it to the laboratory and let them do a test to see what it is.
I always feel like it’s not going to be a good thing.”
"Then... who... who can send me something like this?" Ding Qiunan was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
Taking off his gloves, Li Chu closed the door, took Ding Qiunan into his arms, and patted her back gently: "Don't worry, wife, it doesn't have to be anything, even if it's poison, I'm still here.
Now come with me to deliver the envelope to the laboratory department and let them see what it is first, okay?"
Being hugged by her husband, Ding Qiunan seemed to feel much safer suddenly. She raised her pale face and looked at her husband: "Li Chu, I'm a little scared."
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Li Chu looked at his wife firmly.
After a while, Ding Qiunan's complexion returned to normal.
"I'm feeling better, let's go to the laboratory department."
Li Chu let go of her, took out another pair of gloves from the drawer and put them on, taking the envelope and the gloves he had just taken off.
As for the things in the document bag and the pile of letter paper, he didn't take them. If the test really showed that the flour was toxic, he would still have to hand it over.
Take Ding Qiunan to the laboratory department.
"Hey, Director Guo, you are on duty at noon today."
"Doctor Li, what brought you and your wife here today?" Director Guo of the Laboratory Department looked at Li Chu and Ding Qiunan standing at the door and said with a smile.
"I really have something to trouble you with." Li Chu raised the envelope in his hand and walked into the laboratory: "Director Guo, please help me see what the flour inside is."
Director Guo adjusted his glasses, looked at the envelope, and then at Li Chu: "Doctor Li, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."
"I suspect that the flour inside the envelope is something bad, and I want you to help test it."
"Bad stuff?" Director Guo was stunned for a moment before reacting: "You mean it's suspected to be poisonous, right?"
Li Chu nodded: "Yes."
"Come on, come on, Doctor Li, put your things here." Director Guo showed an obviously interested look. He turned around and put on the mask, and took out a pair of gloves and put them on.
"Okay, you two don't have to wait here anymore. Come back in two hours to get the results." Director Guo waved his hand casually and sent Li Chu and the others away.
"Okay, let's go there first. Thank you, Director Guo."
Seeing that Director Guo was no longer interested in talking to him, Li Chu shrugged his shoulders and walked out.
Ding Qiunan followed him step by step.
Li Chu knew that his wife was frightened today, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He only knew that his heart was full of anger and he wanted to vent it.
After coming out of the Laboratory Department, Li Chu went directly to the Security Department and called Director Liu's office using their phone number.
He was not prepared to let people from the security department get involved in this matter.
The call was answered quickly.
"Director Liu, I'm Li Chu. Can you come over in two hours? I have something to do here. If you don't have time, you can send someone over."
When Director Liu on the other side of the phone heard that something happened again at Li Chu's side, his head was pounding. He thought for a moment before asking, "Why did it take two hours to get there?"
"The test results won't be available until then."
Yes, Director Liu stopped asking and agreed.
After putting down the phone, Li Chu said hello to the staff of the security department and led Ding Qiunan back to the clinic.
After closing the door of the consulting room, Li Chu picked up his wife, walked to the bed behind the curtain, and put her on the bed.
"What are you doing?" Ding Qiunan was a little confused.
"Get some sleep." He said and took out the quilt from the cabinet.
"I can't sleep, my heart is beating so hard." Ding Qiunan looked at her husband pitifully.
"Sleep peacefully with you. I'll sit by the bed and stay with you. I won't go there."
After hearing what he said, Ding Qiunan undressed and lay down on the bed, pulled back the quilt and covered her up.
Li Chu pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed, gently stroking her little face: "Close your eyes and go to sleep. Don't think about anything. I'm right here."
"Yeah" Ding Qiunan obediently closed his eyes.
Looking at his wife's gently fluttering eyelashes, Li Chu knew that she would not be able to sleep for a while, so he leaned down and kissed her forehead, then lay beside the bed and hummed a song softly to her.
After a long time, Ding Qiunan's breathing gradually calmed down. Li Chu slowly took his arms out of her arms and sat quietly by the bed, looking at his wife's sleeping face.
I don't know how long it took, but a knock on the door woke Li Chu up.
He looked at his wife who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, stood up, closed the curtain, and went over to open the door.
The person who knocked on the door was Director Guo of the Laboratory Department. When he saw the door open, he asked directly: "Doctor Li, what is going on with you? I see that your envelope is addressed to your lover. How could anyone send such a message to you?"
thing?"
As he spoke, Director Guo raised the laboratory report in his hand.
"Director Guo, what did you find out in the test? We don't know who sent it now."
"See for yourself." Director Guo handed over the laboratory report in his hand.
After Li Chu took it, he looked directly at the bottom conclusion: arsenic trioxide.
"Director Guo, what is this?"
"Commonly known as arsenic."
The concise and straightforward answer made Li Chu look at Director Guo with wide eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, yes, this is arsenic."
Li Chu thought for a while and asked: "Director Guo, I remember that arsenic seems to have to be eaten into the stomach to cause poisoning, right?"
