Chapter 382 You Are a Hero Now

Sebastian turned around with the camera and finally ran to Zhou Yan.

"Y, what do you think is going on?"

Zhou Yan looked at the chaotic scene and frowned, "Could it be food poisoning?"

So many people were poisoned together, and it was not long after they had just finished their meal. Zhou Yan naturally guessed that everyone was poisoned by food.

"It's the same as I guessed." Sebastian nodded, "We only ate sandwiches, so I think the source of the toxin is those seafood."

Although the sample was not sufficient, Zhou Yan also agreed with Sebastian's conclusion.

He turned around and asked Hilda from the lighting team who was also fine not far away, "Hilda, what did you eat today?"

Hilda thought for a while and said, "I ate a piece of bread."

He didn't eat seafood either, and there was one more sample.

Hearing their conversation, several other people who were in normal condition also recalled what they had eaten at noon today.

"I didn't eat anything at noon."

"I only ate half a sandwich."

"I only drank a glass of milk."

...

Although everyone ate different things, without exception, all those who were still in good condition did not eat seafood.

At this time, they had determined that the source of the toxin was seafood.

However, they could not determine whether the toxin was inherent in the seafood or was maliciously released by someone.

Except for the doctor Xie Liya, the rest of the crew did not know much about this knowledge.

Hilda looked at everyone's condition and guessed, "Could it be a street drug?"

Sebastian frowned, "Who in our crew has this thing?"

"I don't know, but everyone's symptoms are a bit like accidentally ingesting some street drugs."

"A bit like, but not quite."

...

Hearing them discuss whether the source of the drug came from a street drug, Zhou Yan remained silent, because this involved his blind spot in knowledge.

Zhou Yan had seen the appearance of taking drugs on TV, but he didn't know the appearance of accidentally ingesting drugs. He didn't even know what Hilda meant by "accidentally ingesting".

Meaning that street drugs are supposed to be injected, but when they are eaten, they will cause this kind of poisoning reaction?

They chatted for a few sentences, but they couldn't get an answer, so they didn't study it anymore.

Too many people at the scene lost their ability to move, and they had to do something.

Sebastian remained rational, holding a camera to shoot the scene while directing others to work.

"Hilda, Mike, go get the stretcher and carry James off the boat first. You may have to drive to the hospital later, and they definitely don't have enough cars."

"Noel, Sean, you two go check everyone's condition. If there are people in a worse condition, carry them down first."

...

Seeing Sebastian calmly directing the scene, Zhou Yan couldn't help but nod. He had said to Sebastian before that he would cooperate in the future, but it was mostly a joke. But now seeing that this guy has such a stable mentality and such a strong ability to dispatch on the scene, he really wanted to cooperate with this guy in the future.

If he really wants to come to North America to make a movie in the future, he will be much less stressed if he has a helper like Sebastian around him.

In fact, there are many talents in the crew of "Titanic", and Zhou Yan has also discovered them during this period, such as Christie who is hugging him now. As the second assistant director of the crew, this girl is not only able to dispatch on the spot, but also has the ability of a professional storyboard artist, and has a strong artistic foundation.

The efficiency of Dartmouth Central Hospital is not high. After more than 30 minutes, two cars came.

In fact, the Central Hospital is not far from here. If the response is timely, it can be reached in about ten minutes.

Christie has let go of Zhou Yan at this moment. She seems to be very hostile to James Cameron. When she was holding Zhou Yan, she kept staring at James Cameron.

It was not until Hilda and Mike carried James Cameron away that she breathed a sigh of relief, then fell to the ground, covering her head and howling.

The people from the Central Hospital came to the scene and were dumbfounded when they saw dozens of people lying on the deck.

In a place like Dartmouth, they had no chance to see such a big scene.

There were not many of them, but fortunately Zhou Yan and others could still help.

There were not enough stretchers, so Zhou Yan and his team carried people down one by one.

After everyone was sent to the car, Zhou Yan was also exhausted and panting.

He had been exercising for many years and had good physical fitness, but he was still exhausted, let alone others. When Hilda and the others put down the stretcher, they collapsed on the ground, and beads of sweat fell from their foreheads, soaking the ground in front of them in a short while.

However, there was not much time left for them to rest. They had to go to the hospital later. With so many people, the hospital was too busy, and they had to follow.

…

As soon as Zhou Yan and his team arrived at the hospital, they were frightened by the scene in front of them.

Christie snatched a ballpoint pen from the doctor's pocket, and then rushed towards James Cameron who was half sitting on the ground.

"Stop her!"

The doctor shouted and reached out to grab Christie, but he didn't expect that she was very agile after being poisoned, and stepped out in one step, leaving the doctor empty.

Zhou Yan reacted faster and quickly raised his foot and rushed over.

As soon as he arrived, Christie's pen had already stabbed towards James Cameron's eyes.

In this case, Zhou Yan could only stretch out his arm to block it.

The ballpoint pen directly pierced Zhou Yan's arm, leaving a cut.

Christie used a lot of strength, and the cut was very deep. Soon, blood flowed out of the wound.

At this time, other people also rushed up and pulled Christie aside.

Everyone looked at the wound on Zhou Yan's arm and was scared.

If Zhou Yan did not block this pen, but let Christie stab James Cameron's eyes firmly, then James Cameron would be in danger.

If he was lucky, only one eye would be damaged. If he was unlucky, the pen would be inserted deeper, and he would probably be dead.

At this moment, James Cameron, the person involved, did not notice it at all. He was still the same as on the deck, one eye was red, and the other eye seemed to be covered with a layer of glue, and even the eyeball was blurred.

He stared at the arm in front of him and suddenly laughed foolishly.

The doctor whose pen was just robbed also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the nurse, "There is another injured person, find someone to bandage him."

Zhou Yan also checked his injuries. Fortunately, it was a ballpoint pen, not sharp enough, and only caused skin injuries, without breaking bones. The only trouble was that some ink seeped into the wound, which needed to be carefully cleaned.

Originally, he was wearing a thin coat, but he was busy just now, and there was a lot of vomit on his clothes, so he took off his clothes on the way to the hospital.

Otherwise, the injury should be much lighter through the coat.

…

Two hours later, the situation was slowly brought under control, and many people regained their sanity, and some people were even able to get out of bed and walk.

Lori and the other young people had a very good mentality, and could even be said to be heartless. After they woke up, they sat in wheelchairs and played roller skating competitions with Bill Paston, the actor who played the explorer. They seemed to enjoy this lively scene.

Yes, Dartmouth Central Hospital was very lively at this time.

With such a big incident, the local police must intervene. In addition, some local media reporters also came over after hearing the news.

As the only person in the director group who was not poisoned, Sebastian accepted the police's questioning while dealing with the harassment of reporters.

Fortunately, the police did not want the matter to get out of hand, so they drove the reporters out.

Until six o'clock in the evening, the police began to question people at the scene one by one. Zhou Yan and his friends, as the few who were not poisoned, were naturally the first to be questioned.

At this time, the video Sebastian had taken before also played a role. By watching the video, the police were able to basically understand what happened after the incident.

After talking to the police for ten minutes, Zhou Yan asked, "Excuse me, will this matter affect my return to China tomorrow?"

The police did not answer Zhou Yan directly, but said in a businesslike manner, "Before the matter has a result, we all need you to cooperate with the investigation. I hope you can understand."

"When will the test report come out?" Zhou Yan asked again.

"It will come out as soon as possible."

Seeing the police playing Tai Chi with him, Zhou Yan sighed slightly. He also knew that this matter was more troublesome.

What he is most worried about now is that this incident will affect his future schedule.

If it is only delayed for one or two days, he can accept it, but he is afraid that the delay will be too long.

Fortunately, the police only asked them not to leave the hospital for the time being and did not restrict contact with the outside world. Zhou Yan also called Zhang Youan, but Zhang Youan had already gone to New York and could not come now.

Hearing Zhou Yan's description, Zhang Youan couldn't believe it. This matter was too magical.

"I suspect someone poisoned him." Zhang Youan boldly guessed, "James was too domineering at the scene, and someone probably wanted to cause him some trouble on purpose."

Zhou Yan also had such a guess, but he still couldn't believe it, "This trouble is too big. If there are casualties, it will be troublesome."

"How is everyone's situation now?"

"Most people are awake, and a few are in a dizzy state."

"It probably has something to do with the amount of food eaten... How many of you are not poisoned?"

"Except for me, only eight people are not poisoned. Do you suspect the person who poisoned is among these people?"

"That's not the case. On the contrary, I think those who are not poisoned are the least suspicious. The murderer usually puts himself in a less conspicuous place, so he should have eaten seafood himself, but he certainly didn't eat much. So I think, if the murderer is someone in the crew, then those with mild symptoms are the most suspicious."

Zhou Yan also felt that Zhang Youan's speculation made sense.

This poison is so strong that the murderer probably wouldn't dare to eat too much even if he had to use the self-torture trick.

Even if the poison is not fatal, it would not be good if Christie or James Cameron were to happen.

However, it is useless for them to guess here. Everything still depends on the police investigation. Now they don’t even know what poison everyone has been poisoned with.

Maybe their guess is wrong from the root. The source of the toxin is the seafood itself, and no one has poisoned it at all.

…

Until the next morning, the police came and announced that they could go back. As for the results of the investigation, it would take some time to come out.

Although Zhou Yan was happy that his trip was not delayed, he was also puzzled by the local police's attitude, as if they had never thought of finding out who the murderer was.

Now that they saw that the poisoned people were basically fine, they wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Zhou Yan even suspected that even if someone really poisoned the food, they would eventually rule it as an ordinary food poisoning.

Before leaving, Zhou Yan went to meet James Cameron.

James Cameron was still in bed. His condition was much better than yesterday, and his eyes were back to normal.

When he talked about yesterday's events, there was no special expression on his face. Zhou Yan originally thought he would be very angry.

After seeing Zhou Yan, he even laughed, "It was a good adventure. Maybe one day I will want to make a movie about what happened yesterday."

Seeing that he could still joke, Zhou Yan nodded, "If we want to make a movie, we can use the original cast."

"Who do you think should be the protagonist of this movie?" James Cameron looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.

"It must be you."

James Cameron shook his head, "If this movie has a protagonist, it should be you. I heard from them that you saved me from Christie's hands yesterday. Otherwise, I can only see you with one eye now, and I won't even have the chance to see you."

Speaking of this, he looked at the gauze wrapped around Zhou Yan's arm again, "Your arm saved "Titanic". I want to thank you on behalf of the entire crew."

It must be said that James Cameron is really different from ordinary people. He didn't thank Zhou Yan for saving him, but thanked Zhou Yan for saving "Titanic".

"You are too polite. Anyone would have done the same thing if it was yesterday."

"But you were there."

Then James Cameron had no intention of talking about this matter anymore. He talked about the soundtrack again. "This incident will not affect the progress of the filming of the movie. Now the movie has a theme song, which is a good thing for us, but I hope I can hear more good news next time we meet. When are you going to Mexico?"

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Maybe we have to wait until December."

"Well, then you can still catch up with the filming."

"It doesn't matter if you can't make it. I have arranged people to go to the scene."

"I heard from Sebastian that I will ask him to arrange your people on the scene."

"Thank you."

Then the two chatted briefly for a few more words, and Zhou Yan got up and said goodbye.

Although James Cameron regained consciousness, his condition was still very poor and he needed to rest.

Then Zhou Yan said goodbye to Sebastian and set off on the return journey.

…

The next day after returning home, Zhou Yan received a call from Sebastian, who told him that the poisoning report had come out and that someone had put nearly 500 grams of pcp in the lobster bisque.

It was the first time Zhou Yan had heard of pcp and had no idea what it was. After Sebastian explained it, he learned that it was a sedative for animals.

When the human body absorbs it, it will cause serious and long-term behavioral problems, such as mental retardation, perceptual errors, paranoia, hostility, and violence.

A high dose of pcp can cause a person to fall into a coma for several hours, while losing motor coordination, hallucinations, loss of pain, and temporary strength.

This drug rarely causes death directly, but the strange behavior after taking it often causes casualties, so it is also called an invisible killer.

It also has another name, called "angel powder", because it is cheap, easy to obtain, has a strong sense of euphoria, and can replace drugs, so many young drug users like to take it.

The symptoms caused by this pcp do match the situation on the boat that day, and Zhou Yan finally understood why Christie was so strong.

Zhou Yan asked again if there was any clue about the murderer, and Sebastian regretfully told him that the crew had not received any news.

Not to mention the situation of the suspect, even the progress of the investigation was not announced to the crew by the local police, because it involved personal privacy and human rights projects.

Fortunately, everyone in the crew recovered.

Given the current situation, they will not stay in Dartmouth for long, and will leave for Mexico in the next two days.

Zhou Yan has a feeling that this matter may end up in vain.

Because pcp is easier to obtain, with today's technology, this case is not easy to solve, and the local police have no intention of solving it at all, so it is even more impossible to have a result.

At the same time, this matter will definitely put a nail in the hearts of everyone James and others, because they know that the murderer is in the crew.

Now the crew must be guessing who the murderer is.

It is estimated that the crew will pay special attention to diet in the future to prevent such things from happening.

At the end of the conversation, Sebastian said, "After Christie woke up, she knew her behavior and was very upset. After all, she almost killed James. You saved James and saved her."

"She didn't do it on purpose. It was all under the control of drugs."

"Although it was affected by drugs, many people said that she had already had a grudge against James in her heart, but her emotions were amplified by drugs." Sebastian said with a smile, "Otherwise, why didn't she attack you, but hugged you tightly? She didn't hug anyone else."

This was the second time Sebastian hinted that Zhou Yan was interested in Christie, but Zhou Yan did not take the hint, "In a few days, the person I arranged will go to Mexico. Please help me take care of it."

"No problem, I've already arranged a place for them."

"Thank you."

"It's a trivial matter. After all, you are now the hero of our crew." (End of Chapter)
