Chapter 15: Surrounding and Defeating SARS
Section 1
The outbreak of the epidemic in Annan Lake broadened the investigation scope of Yutong Company. Li Wei and Dāo Zǐ thought it was necessary to investigate foreigners entering and leaving Jingzhou Nanxian. They soon discovered a suspicious person who had traveled from Annan to Nanxian, but this person had already left Nanxian and was currently in Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone of Huaxia Country. Following the decision of their superiors, Dāo Zǐ, Li Wei, and Lán Yá's investigation team rushed to Xiangjiang to continue the investigation. Due to possible involvement with foreign affairs, their superior dispatched Yin Hú Qiān Miàn to join them in Xiangjiang Special Zone.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an international metropolis and a renowned global financial center, second only to New York City in the Americas and London in Great Britain. It borders Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province, was once a British colony, and has experienced rapid economic and social development since World War II, becoming one of the Four Asian Tigers. After returning to China for many years, it practices a capitalist system with "one country, two systems", enjoying legislative power, administrative power, exemption from paying taxes to the central government, and free trade. It is famous for its clean government, good public order and legal system, and free economic system, making it one of the most prosperous and developed regions in the world.
The SAR government attaches great importance to the epidemic, and has already isolated a residential area. Anyone entering Hong Kong will be inspected. As soon as Li Wei got off the plane, he found that almost everyone here was wearing a mask. The Hong Kong Logistics Building is located in Central, and on the way, Li Wei saw the prosperity of Hong Kong, the hustle and bustle of its people, and often saw foreigners. In the car, Bluetooth was fully focused on work, while Knife Boy was still playing with his flying knife. Li Wei was puzzled as to how Knife Boy had passed through airport security checks, as he had many knives on him that neither electronic devices nor security personnel had detected.
Bluetooth discovered through investigation of entry and exit systems and various surveillance systems that the unknown person was not in the isolation area or hospital, it seems that he is immune to SARS or has not contracted SARS. The identity of the person has been investigated, an American citizen of Japanese descent, Kitaro Onizuka, working for the Pan Pharmaceutical Transnational Corporation's Annan branch. Currently residing at the Shanghai Wanbao Long Hotel, the investigation team's destination was also here. Bluetooth broke into the hotel's computer system and reconfirmed that this person was indeed the unknown person, room 502 Presidential Suite. Controlling this person would allow us to obtain important clues about the epidemic. After arriving at the hotel, the investigation team immediately showed their Interpol credentials and were led by the manager to room 502. They quietly opened the door and found that the person had disappeared. Knife discovered that the coffee in the cup was still hot. Bluetooth immediately called up the surveillance video and found Kitaro Onizuka exiting another elevator with three people. It was too late to chase after them, so Knife quickly ran to the balcony and inserted a knife into the wall before jumping down! Li Wei and Bluetooth were stunned for a moment before running out of the room and rushing towards the elevator. (Li Wei later found out that Knife had designed a pair of connected knives with strong steel wires in the handles, which could control the descent speed.) Bluetooth called up the surveillance video at the hotel entrance and saw Knife landing on the ground just as Kitaro Onizuka and three people were arriving at the door. The other two people quickly pulled out their guns, but Knife shook his hands and shot out two flying knives, hitting the two people before they could even pull out their guns. A gun emerged from behind a car, and Li Wei and Bluetooth were shocked to see flames erupting from the barrel, but Knife did not fall down - it was Kitaro Onizuka who fell. Knife turned around and shot dead the person who had grabbed his hand. After checking that there was no further danger, Knife walked forward to check on Kitaro Onizuka's body. Li Wei and Bluetooth arrived at the scene just then, and Knife shook his head - Kitaro Onizuka was dead. The police car from the Yutong Company arrived and took away Kitaro Onizuka's body. Dr. Bluetooth scanned and checked Kitaro Onizuka's personal belongings but found nothing unusual, except that his death was the biggest anomaly of all. After examination, it was discovered that there were no SARS virus particles on the corpse, and the other three dead people were suspected to be members of the terrorist organization Islamic Liberation Organization, but there was no conclusive evidence - the clue had been cut off once again. Silver Fox arrived at the Shanghai branch and formulated a new plan with his superiors and the investigation team: seal off the news of Kitaro Onizuka's death, disguise himself as Kitaro Onizuka, return to work at the Annan branch, and have Knife protect him fully while waiting for further developments.
Section 2
The Annan Lake SARS outbreak was also very severe. Dr. Carl Salban, a WHO doctor stationed in the lake area, reported the local situation to the World Health Organization and later died of the epidemic. The epidemic was named SARS virus after him. At this time, Tokyo, Jingzhou Nanjun, Jizhou, Xiangjiang, Annan Lake, and Shicheng were listed as epidemic areas by the World Health Organization. The foreign ministries of various countries evacuated non-essential personnel and their families from the epidemic area, advising against traveling to the epidemic area. The spread and prevention of the epidemic in the epidemic area attracted attention from all over the world.
Li Wei thought that Yin Hu must be able to speak all the languages in the world, because he had disguised himself as Kuzuryū Kenjirō, who was fluent in English and Japanese, and could also speak Vietnamese and Chinese. Yin Hu could say them all fluently, and it was absolutely a demon's skill. Li Wei thought of how he had once disguised himself as himself and gone to his home, and now he couldn't help but feel angry. He didn't expect that he would still have to protect him.
Li Wei and Lán Yá disguised themselves as Kuzuryū Kenjirō's students and assistants, and followed Yin Hu to the Pan Corporation's Vietnamese branch. The people here all called him Professor Kuzuryū, and Li Wei secretly thought it was funny - wasn't "Professor Kuzuryū" just a grave mound professor?
Today, there happened to be a high-level meeting about the Sa virus, and Li Wei and Lán Yá were excluded from it because they weren't yet employees of the Pan Corporation. Lán Yá checked Kuzuryū's office for bugs, but didn't find any monitoring devices. He then opened the computer and woke up the electronic fly in Yin Hu's phone to monitor the meeting.
The meeting had already begun:
"The SARS-like coronavirus that has broken out in Hua Xia and Xiang Jiang Shi Cheng is very similar to the virus we isolated, which has caused high-level outrage at headquarters. If this news gets out, it will be extremely detrimental to the company. The company will investigate all experimental copies and processes to see if there was any leakage of trade secrets."
"The premature outbreak of this virus has disrupted the company's high-level plans with the Hexagon Building, and vaccines and specific drugs have not been developed yet. If the epidemic continues to spread, it may threaten the mainland of Asia. Everyone present is suspected of leaking the virus, please cooperate with the Central Intelligence Agency's investigation work later. Before the incident is investigated clearly, everyone present cannot leave the Hunei branch."
Li Wei wiped the sweat for Silver Fox, not knowing how to respond to the investigation by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. Dr. Bluetooth quickly launched an invasion of the servers of the Panshi company. Li Wei and Bluetooth could still move about freely. After Li Wei went out, he consulted with Knife and reported to his superiors. His superiors instructed that they must not expose themselves, lest it escalate into an international diplomatic incident. They had to find the original pathogen template and synchronize the experimental results of the Panshi company.
Section 3
The whole world is fighting against SARS, and many respected medical warriors have fallen. The Chinese government has fully cooperated with the World Health Organization, gathering global experts in the epidemic area to discuss research directions and disease control measures. China has mobilized nationwide to promote preventive disinfection and isolation measures, suspending the Golden Week holiday, closing schools, restricting gatherings, and establishing free treatment hospitals for SARS patients in various regions. The development of SARS was finally brought under control. During this period, many major sports events and large-scale commercial cultural activities were cancelled in China, causing further damage to the tourism industry...
At this time, the tide in Annan Lake had already surged, and Kitaro Oniyakawa reappeared here. A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Knife thought that Silver Fox's safety was temporarily not to be worried about, as long as there was Bluetooth cooperation with him, he shouldn't expose his identity. Relying on his keen sense of smell, Knife discovered that several forces were operating outside the Annan Lake branch of the Panshi company, attempting to break through the multi-layered security settings of the American Central Intelligence Agency and the Panshi company. After investigating and collecting evidence, Knife and Li Wei roughly clarified the origins and purposes of the several forces, which were all consistent: to obtain the Sa virus.
Islamic Liberation Organization - spreading Islamic radical ideas, intending to unite Muslims all over the world and establish a caliphate empire that only implements Sharia law. Most members are relatively fanatical and yearn for holy war.
East Turkestan organization - **Stanton nationalist separatist elements, intending to unify the organization, unify the program, unify the leader, unify the armed forces, unify actions, and establish a unified Turkic empire. Most members are Muslim Turkic extremist elements.
Organization - originally affiliated with the Central Intelligence Agency of the Americas, Far East Intelligence Section, now a specialized institution engaged in subverting the Huaxia country, with the business of selling Huaxia military and economic intelligence. Most members are anarchists and anti-Huaxia elements.
Al-Qaeda - stupid organization.
The Dalai Clique is a reactionary group in exile - the Tibetan separatist organization, with the Dalai Lama as its head and most of its members being devout Tibetans.
The last organization Li Wei is more familiar with
Falun Gong Organization!
