Chapter 42 Old Photos
The jacket is a gray turtleneck windbreaker, with a black long-sleeved shirt on the upper body, black straight-leg trousers on the lower body, and a pair of brown and red toad glasses on the bridge of the nose.
Rona held a black umbrella, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the shop windows on the street, which looked blurred by the neon light beside him.
When he went out, his wife kept asking him if he was going out to participate in any special activities, while he lit a cigarette in silence and picked up an umbrella to go out.
It's cold on the surface, but it's actually very happy in my heart.
Even if it's just entertainment, he is too bored for so many years, and he is looking forward to this change in his heart.
When you come to the agreed cafe, there are only a few warm-toned light sources on this street, the exquisite beige chandeliers and retro gray brick walls, which can always make people forget the reinforced concrete in the rainy rain outside, and they can't help but relax.
The man was already waiting inside, and the former's sight had already locked on him as soon as Rona appeared at the door.
"Mr. Lecter, I'm glad to see you again."
He took off his calfskin gloves and reached out to hold the other person.
"Haha, Mr. Rona looks pretty stylish today."
Zhu Jue looked at Rona and said with a smile. The latter obviously enjoyed the praise, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could not be eliminated.
“I brought the photos…”
After sitting down, Rona immediately wanted to talk about the serious matter and put his hand into his arms.
"Hey~No hurry, the coffee hasn't been on yet. Let's talk about the photos at the end."
Zhu Jue had just arrived and was waiting for the waiter to bring the coffee. Before that, he had something else to say,
"In fact, I have something else to ask you this time. How much do you know about Qianfan City's epidemic prevention center?"
"I have handled some matters in this area before... I don't know what you want to know in detail."
Realizing that he was a little anxious, Rona pulled his hand back, heard Zhu Jue's inquiry, and paused for a few seconds before asking.
"My clinic received a notice from the epidemic prevention institute this morning, asking the clinic to send people to participate in the mobile medical point of the Wangui Festival. This has never happened in the past, right? I want to know why the epidemic prevention institute sets this precedent."
The notice from the epidemic prevention institute was sent directly to Zhu Jue's mobile phone in the evening, requiring him to provide at least 5 medical personnel to report to the epidemic prevention institute tomorrow for advance training.
"During the Wan Ghost Festival, there are crowds of people in various activity squares and commercial streets. According to previous rules, mobile medical points will indeed be set up at various dense points... But this aspect has always been the responsibility of Life Medical Group. In previous years, their hospitals sent out medical teams. How could it become an epidemic prevention center this year?"
Rona grew up in Qianfan City and was a government official. He has handled many affairs during the Ten Thousand Ghost Festival. Such things do not even need to be thought about. Zhu Jue mentioned them at the same time that he already had this content in his mind.
"What do you think will cause this situation? To be more detailed."
"Mr. Lecter just came recently and may not be clear about the situation here. First of all, one thing is very important. There is no public hospital in Qianfan City!"
Since Zhu Jue wanted to explain in detail, Rona took out his mobile phone, first found out the information of Life Medical Group and put it on the desktop to push it to Zhu Jue.
As a city under the control of capital, everything inside it must have a clear boundary between "public ownership" and "public" words, and as an industry that no one can avoid, the medical industry is naturally controlled by a consortium.
Life medical treatment.
This title has an influence in the medical industry that is almost the same as that of Yuanfan Machinery.
In addition to private clinics, black market clinics and some nursing homes operated by individuals similar to those of barefoot doctors in ancient times, nearly 70% of the large hospitals and affiliated medical industries are affiliated to the Life Medical Group.
In order to ensure its influence in Qianfan City, Life Medical has almost taken over medical support for major events in previous years, and there is no need to say more about activities that are popular all over the city like Wangui Festival.
"As far as I know, the basic function of the epidemic prevention institute is disease prevention, blockade and treatment. It seems to be deeply related to medical care. In fact, there is not even a nurse inside, but a group of people who specialize in specializing in special epidemics. If I remember correctly, when the monsters in the source of mental pollution have begun to emerge and have not yet become a climate, the government regards it as a virus, and the department responsible for this investigation is the epidemic prevention institute."
Rona collected the memories of the epidemic prevention center in his mind as much as possible, and wanted to connect them to the current situation.
"I heard that a special epidemic has also appeared in Qianfan City recently. Will the epidemic prevention institute worry that Life Medical will have a bad impact after knowing this matter, so it plans to find someone to deal with it?"
Zhu Jue threw out a new message and made a guess, which in his opinion was very likely.
"No, it's impossible. Even if I'm not an employee of the epidemic prevention center, I dare to make a promise about one thing, that is, at least one-third of medical scholars in the epidemic prevention center have worked under the hands of Life Medical Group, and the matters in the epidemic prevention center can't be hidden from the senior management of Life Medical Group!"
Ronald directly denied Zhu Jue's guess and then said,
"About three years ago, I handled this matter once. At that time, the number of medical personnel responsible for mobile and designated medical stations during the Wangui Festival was between 200 and 300. Even if the epidemic prevention institute wants to work alone, it is impossible to find so many people to cooperate with their actions."
“Can Life Medical Group provide so many people?”
"Of course, it is not a problem to allocate two or three hundred people in the major hospitals in Qianfan City. After all, doctors and nurses in medical points do not need to be very strong. Many times, even interns can do it."
"Since that's the case, why did the epidemic prevention institute find a private clinic to draw staff?"
Zhu Jue immediately thought of the reason Zheng Lin gave in the clinic lobby that the epidemic prevention center was not enough staff. Now it seems that this reason is obviously untenable.
“There is a possibility.”
"Um?"
“Temporary worker system!”
Rona frowned and gave an answer after thinking for a while.
At this time, the waiter of the cafe came from the corridor on the left and placed the steaming coffee in front of the two of them. Zhu Jue didn't even look at it, so he picked up the cup containing the candy cube and poured three into it.
Zhu Jue still understands the so-called temporary worker system, and it is nothing more than a common way to shirk responsibility.
"The epidemic prevention institute should be preparing to carry out a certain medical action. Participants are likely to reach a certain level. Ordinary interns are not competent and must be doctors with rich experience. In my opinion, this medical action must have some risks. Therefore, medical personnel required for the action cannot be provided at will, even a top group like Life Medical. The major hospitals under their name must have these people "guarded". If the action fails, it will not only cause the hospital's operation to run difficulties, but also pay large insurance costs and bear quite serious subsequent impacts. So..."
Holding a silver-plated spoon stirring coffee, Ronner lowered his voice.
"So the epidemic prevention institute thought that there was still a group of people in the private clinic, right?"
After taking Rona's words, Zhu Jue naturally included himself in the column of experienced doctors.
"Yes, if there is any place to find experienced doctors outside major hospitals, then there is only the option of a private clinic. In addition to paying a fee for a commission, the epidemic prevention institute does not need to pay anything. If nothing happens, they will not sign any agreement or contract with you. This means that even if the failure of the operation causes certain adverse consequences, they can take away their responsibilities first in the name of temporary commissioning and difficult to manage."
"There is indeed a trick behind this."
With the help of Rona, he learned about the possible hidden content behind this incident. Zhu Jue became more and more sure that the epidemic prevention institute planned to take this opportunity to investigate unknown epidemics.
This coincides with Suzi's idea.
The topic of the epidemic prevention institute ended perfectly. Rona knew so much, and Zhu Jue didn't expect him to tell more inside information.
The two's attention once again came to the key to this meeting.
Photos of the Thorn Cult.
Take the envelope from Rhone and open it. There are not many photos inside, only three.
Looking down at the photos one by one, trying to coincide with the characters appearing above with some of the faces in your memory.
I found nothing in the first two photos, and occasionally I could see one or two similar ones, but there were still differences after careful comparison.
The background of the last photo is a tavern. Someone stood on the counter, holding his hands high, with passionate expressions, as if he was talking about something. There were many people sitting or standing in front of him. The photographer was on the right side of the tavern, so he was able to take pictures of most people's side faces.
"Tsk..."
Rushing the fingers on the base of the coffee cup paused, Zhu Jue stared at someone at the corner of the photo for more than ten seconds, but his eyes never left.
"Have you found anything?"
Noticed Zhu Jue's strangeness, Rona hurriedly asked.
“Are there any backups of these photos?”
Without answering Rona's question, Zhu Jue put the photo into the envelope and put it in his arms, as if asking inadvertently.
At this moment, Zhu Jue's face was not a little smile, his voice was a little cold, and his dark eyes were incomprehensible depth.
"The photos taken back then were to avoid leaving online records, so there would naturally be no backups. If you need them, there is a printing shop nearby."
Rona vaguely noticed the change in the atmosphere and wanted to smile, but found that under the gaze of the man opposite, he felt dry even when he spoke, and subconsciously sipped coffee to relieve it.
"These are rewards for you. I hope you will continue to follow up on the human rights parade. I need any information!"
