“Doctor Gu, the two people who were quarantined yesterday have woken up. One of them wanted to hit the wall and commit suicide, but he failed because of his fever.”
“Oh, so he’s guilty.” Gu Chengrui immediately stood up after he finished speaking.
This was an excellent opportunity that had come knocking on his door. He had to interrogate it properly.
Even if they couldn’t find anything, they just needed him alive.
After that, he did not even bother to finish his breakfast. After washing up, he took his vaccine and hid the needle.
He put on the mask and gloves that he had cleaned last night and went over to look for him.
When he saw the person who was tied up, he stepped forward and said, “You’re so eager to die, and that means you must know something. As long as you tell me, I’ll give you a quick death. Otherwise, you can only stay and be my test subject.”
When Gu Chengrui said this, he looked at his confused expression and paused. “You don’t know what a test subject is? What about a poison tester?
“Every doctor hopes to have a poison tester so that they can research medicine faster.”
The man looked at him in fear. Although he had never seen a poison tester before, he had heard many people mention it.
It was said that some poison testers were tortured to the point where they no longer looked like humans. The key was that none of them could live long.
“It just so happens that I’ve been researching a type of poison recently. It’s said that if this poison gets to you, you’ll be as cold as ice every night, especially on a full moon.
“It’s okay. Don’t say anything. I’ll go get it now.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
The man subconsciously thought of the snow disaster. He was almost frozen to death at that time, and he did not want to live that kind of cold life again.
“Don’t, don’t. I’ll talk. I’ll talk.”
“Remember, if there’s a lie, I’ll give you 10% of that poison.”
“No, I won’t! About a month ago, our manager brought back a piece of clothing in a panic.”
He put it on the next day and said that he was going to sell the shop and return to his hometown. He had even sent his family back.
“After a few days, he was down with a high fever. The two of us would persuade him to find a doctor quickly.
“He ignored us, and he also started to drink.
“One night, after the two of us had had a drink, he told us the truth. He had smallpox, and there was no cure.
“When I heard that, my heart trembled.
“I asked curiously. You haven’t seen a doctor before. How do you know?
“The manager said that the clothes he had brought back previously were from someone with smallpox. It was the second son of the Marquis of Ding’an who had captured his family and forced him to do this in order to spread smallpox.
“At that time, I was scared silly. I originally wanted to tell the officials, but the manager suddenly threatened me.
“He claimed that he would say that I did all of this, that he would stuff the clothes into my house, and that he would get the shop assistant to testify for him.
“Think about it, which shop assistant would dare to oppose the manager? I’m just afraid.
“So, I didn’t dare say anything, but I was also depressed. I gathered a few brothers who were on good terms with me and started drinking.
“At that time, I finally understood the manager’s helplessness.
“After the items in the shop were quickly sold out, everyone dispersed, and we returned home.
“I remember that at that time, the manager’s face had already started to grow pustules, so I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to ask for my salary.
“Who would have thought that I would also be infected?
“But I didn’t touch him.. I didn’t even dare touch his things; why was I still infected?”
