Chapter 23 Dune
Karin did not go to the Bakers' house, she booked a room in a hotel. Liang Xi learned that Karin declined to stay after completing her internship at a hospital in Paris, France, and would work at the Maria Hospital in London after returning to London. She would not need to sit in on the clinic, she would serve as a technical consultant for the neurology department, assisting the hospital in dealing with difficult neurology-related diseases.
As they approached the hotel, Karin began to talk more and introduced the neurology department. From spinal taps for diagnosis to many surgeries for treatment, they were all related to nerves. Liang Xi didn't quite understand what she was saying, but he could understand some of it. He was sure of one thing: Karin was a good doctor, better than himself anyway.
After parking the car at the entrance of the hotel, Liang Xi got out and opened the trunk. Karin took the suitcase first. Karin also noticed Liang Xi taking the suitcase. Karin tried to put on a polite smile and said, "Thank you."
Liang Xi eased the awkwardness with a smile: "Goodbye." He always felt that he had seen Karin before, but he had no impression of Karin's voice.
Karin nodded, and both of them had a social courtesy problem, and no one turned around and left first. This kind of embarrassment is very detailed. Originally, this etiquette was not required, but when both of them showed this etiquette, it would be inappropriate for anyone to turn around first. Just like hanging up the phone, some professional staff will habitually wait for the customer to hang up. In most cases, the person on the phone will hang up first. But in a few cases, there will be embarrassment that both parties are waiting for the other party to hang up first.
Both of them thought of this question, and couldn't help but smile at each other. Liang Xi nodded and turned to leave and got into the car. Got shocked! The most terrifying thing is the smile of a beautiful woman, which is full of electricity. However, Liang Xi was shocked not once, twice, or three times, but often. In fact, when you encounter a beautiful woman on the street, a stunning glimpse often makes people excited, and then it has nothing to do with Liang Xi.
All of this was caused by poverty. Liang Xi was so poor that he didn't have the confidence to date girls.
Of course, Liang Xi was also a person who had been in love. In middle school, he dated two girlfriends. Unfortunately, he did not understand the ways of the world , and because he was too smart, he always saw through and exposed his girlfriends' lies, whether well-intentioned or not. When the second girlfriend broke up with Liang Xi, she told him that she liked him very much, but as a person with excellent conditions in all aspects, she actually developed an inferiority complex in love. She could no longer stand Liang Xi's insight into everything and crushing her into a life without any private space.
…
Karin entered the guest room, where an old man with white hair and beard was waiting for her. Karin walked over, took the information bag on the table, opened it, and pulled out the documents inside: "The Fifth Department will cause trouble." The Fifth Department is MI5, which is responsible for domestic security affairs.
The old man did not answer the question, and said: "Three months have passed, and there has been no progress in the five places."
Karin: "Operation Dune?"
The old man said, "Maria Hospital is the best private hospital in London and one of the best private hospitals in Europe. It has the most advanced examination equipment and the most professional doctors. 70% of the rich, powerful, and politicians in the UK choose Maria Hospital as their first choice for medical treatment. We don't know who Angela contacted, who she won over, and what information she stole from whom, but we know that Angela established a resource library and handed it over to her accomplices."
Karin asked, "Didn't the Fifth Division get the list chip three months ago?"
The old man replied: "There are only names in the chip, fifty names. We don't know how many of them Angela controls? How much information does she know? And how many people are being terrorized by terrorists now?"
Karin asked, "Who found out that Angela was a terrorist?"
The old man replied, "John."
Karin asked, "Where are the others?"
The old man replied, "She was killed not long after the chip incident. The person who hired John to investigate Angela's background is most likely the one who killed John. This must be a big shot. There is reason to suspect that the big shot was blackmailed or lost something very important, so he asked the retired John to help him."
Karin asked, "What is my job?"
The old man replied, "Angela's body was donated to the medical school for dissection and research. Ten days ago, a medical professor discovered that Angela was carrying a rare infectious disease, a latent infectious disease that can only be transmitted through love. The maximum incubation period is five years. This disease is named PN2 and has been reported to the health departments of European countries. The symptoms are similar to many common diseases, such as colds, coughs, hematuria, etc. The people on the list of fifty will get sick one after another, and the disease will recur, and they will have typical symptoms of PN2. The treatment is also very simple."
The old man took out a capsule from his pocket and placed it on the table: "You can inject it after dissolving it in water, take it directly, or take it as powder."
Karin was very smart and said, "I understand. We have to poison fifty suspects one after another and force them to go to the hospital for treatment. Because the information spreads, these people should know that Angela has this infectious disease, and the doctor may also ask them if they have ever been in love with Angela, the original patient. In order to obtain accurate treatment, for the sake of their lives, and for the health of their families and lovers, they will confess to the doctor that they have had contact with PN2 patients. After obtaining the information, I will let the patients take the antidote in time."
The old man neither denied nor confirmed: "Among the fifty people there are senior executives of MI5 and even MI6. This is also the main reason for transferring you back to London. The only people you can trust are me and Mark, the director of MI5. I don't care what you do, but you must follow two principles. You cannot cause death, and even if you do, you cannot allow the body to be dissected. In theory, you are just a doctor. You will only provide help when Mark is in trouble. Do you understand?"
Karin put the information on the table: "Some people would rather die than tell the truth."
Old man: "But their assistants, secretaries, and staff don't want to see their boss die. People who have money and power don't have the ability to have a private relationship."
Karin asked, "So I'm a doctor on a daily basis?"
The old man replied: "Consultant, neurology consultant, involved in diagnosis but not directly involved in treatment. Your medical level is sufficient for this position."
Karin nodded, and the old man stood up and walked to the door, saying, "You and your brother Baker haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
Karin: “Two years.”
The old man said, "Family is the most precious treasure. You will have more time to spend together when you return to London. By the way, Baker captured a British fan king in the early hours of yesterday morning. He may be selected for a new anti-terrorism department that MI5 is setting up."
Karin said, "No. Baker has great tactical qualities, but he's just a rough guy."
The old man said, "I read the transcript. Baker protected the translator, saw through the gangsters' escape tricks, sneaked into the gallery alone to capture the gangsters, and even used his body to protect the hostages."
Karin: "Baker's transcript?"
The old man replied: "Translator and hostages' transcripts ."
Karin disagreed: "They should go to an ophthalmologist. I know Baker best. He will thinking."
The old man said, "I think you have a misunderstanding about Baker. The hostage record shows that there were three people at the time: her, the translator, and Baker. The translator was not only a coward, but also a fool, and almost killed the hostage. Baker not only subdued the gangster, but also saved the hostage's life."
Karin was surprised: "I haven't seen you for two years, and Baker has become so powerful."
The old man said, "Karin, treat this work as a vacation and relax. I hope my subordinates are human beings, not cold machines. Go out with boys boldly and confidently, and girls are also welcome."
Karin said, "I like Martians."
"Haha." The old man laughed, put on his coat and picked up his hat. "I have something to remind you. Over the past year or so, a group of very professional gangsters have appeared in Europe, specializing in solving problems for the rich. Sometimes they use the names of birds as code names, sometimes the names of flowers, and sometimes the names of scientists as code names. They are professional, vicious, and have extensive information. They are currently the focus of investigation by police in European countries. If you have any information in this regard, please let Mark know."
Karin: “Okay.”
