KIRIFUDA MAFIA: TERROR FROM THE PAST
Conspiracies
“According to provisional assumptions, this is not because of the flu. But more due to thickening or even blood clotting.” Shiro revealed what he found to Yuki.
The Saudi head and the Doni head just looked at each other and did not understand why the flu became a blood coagulation.
“How can Kak?” Tanya Yuki represented the second question of the Village Chief.
“Most likely, which is considered the flu it is actually a pulmonary embolism due to the thickening of the blood, pulmonary embolism also makes a person difficult to breathe and dry cough."
"But I still have to investigate this further in the lab first, I also need a sample of their blood.” Shiro still needed to reconfirm his theory.
“Kakak brought his equipment?”
“It just so happens to be in my suitcase, I'll take it for a while.”
Shiro was again busy with his equipment and then took blood samples on some patients.
Yuki looked around, and his heart ached again to see those poor people. Just finished one problem, now another problem has come.
“Kak, while waiting for the results to come out, what can we do to save them?” Yuki's asking was saddened to see more and more victims coming to the hall, and more and more casualties were falling.
“If my guess is correct, for a while we need anticoagulants for this problem, also some drugs for anti-inflammatory.” Shiro replied while taking a blood sample.
Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which the blood pressure in the lungs and on the right side of the heart is too high.
Arteries in the lungs are blocked due to the presence of foreign objects that enter the bloodstream causing blockage of blood vessels or it could be due to the occurrence of blood coagulation.
This makes the heart have to work harder to encourage blood flow through these vessels.
If treated late, patients with pulmonary embolism can experience complications in the form of fluid buildup in the lung membrane (pleural effusion), high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary hypertension), necrosis and even death.
In this case, residents are most likely to experience blood thickening so they must be immediately diluted with drugs that contain anticoagulants.
Because thick blood can also cause blood clots in the organs of the heart and lungs that can cause death.
Yuki who heard her brother's explanation took her phone back and contacted Kurina and Captain Ryu to buy a lot of anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory drugs for the residents.
“Sorry before, if this disease is not a rare disease, then why did the officers go immediately after seeing the citizens?” The Saudi chief asked curiously.
“Because there is most likely a trigger that causes necrosis to occur very quickly."
"It should be if only pulmonary embolism or thickening of the blood can be handled easily, but in case of necrosis in a time as fast as this.”
“There must be a trigger that causes blood coagulation to occur very quickly to make the blood clot and can not be flowed again."
"I myself suspect that something entered their bodies before the embolism occurred. Whether it's from what's eaten or something else.”
“There are substances I don't know that cause them to be like this, actually it's also like someone being exposed could be a snake."
"That's why I have to delve deeper and our time is very limited.” Shiro explained at length to make it clearer, in fact he himself was not too sure which was right, because he could not just see the physical state alone.
“If Kak Shiro's conjecture is true, roughly before this incident, is there anything that happened before suddenly this disease happened to the citizens?” Asked Yuki, he also began to suspect oddity in the case.
Before the Village Chief could reply, Captain Ryu and his 30 troops, as well as Kurina and the other core members had arrived at the hall and walked towards his commander.
“Thank God you've come, quickly handle everyone! At the very least, we can slow down their necrosis!” Yuki was relieved to see his subordinates arrive on time, when outside was a blizzard.
“Ready Commander!” Answer them in unison, then spread while carrying the medicine and medical equipment they prepared beforehand.
Residents who saw in the distance and also the two Village Chiefs were relieved by this situation. Kirifuda's army as well as Kirifuda's Core Members had all been trained by Shiro to handle emergencies like this, so they knew what they had to do.
“Kurina, why did you bring me a coat too?” Yuki asked, she felt not cold and did not need a coat.
“It's okay, I know you must have forgotten your own condition if you were in an emergency."
"We don't know how long it's been here, so I brought a coat for you too, as a sign of my gratitude to you for trying to help the fringe residents.” Kurina replied with a warm smile.
“Thank you Kurina. From now on I ask you to take over first, I have to go back to the lab to check their blood samples in a moment.” Shiro was pleased with the attention Kurina and Yuki had given him.
“Thank you.” Yuki replied with a smile and put on her black coat.
“Sama-sama. I'll excuse you.”
After kurina left, Shiro put on his coat he even forgot that his body had frozen from the cold.
Then he looked at the Saudi Chief and Chief Doni to ask for a continuation of their explanation.
The Saudi chief realized Shiro's gaze immediately explained what he knew, “To be honest I don't understand for this matter either, why could this happen. But after I think again most of the residents who suffer from this mysterious illness come from almost the same environment.”
“Ah! Damn right! On second thought, they all came from an adjacent neighborhood. As you both know, our residents use 1 well for dozens of houses. And they come from people who have a well with it.” Chief Doni realized something.
Due to severe poverty, the suburban population is very difficult to get clean water. So they have to use the same well for several tens of households because of the difficulty of clean springs in the coastal environment.
“We have to check that well water as well.” Yuki's getting a bright spot from this matter.
“We will ask people to take some samples of their well water.” The Saudi chief responded to Yuki.
“Good, thank you. Send many people at once, take a water sample for us from several wells both belong to the victim's environment and those that do not.” Yuki said while asking for dozens of sample tubes belonging to her brother then handed them to the Village Chief.
The two Village Chiefs immediately exited the hall to ask the residents of each district to take a sample of the water in their well.
While waiting for a water sample, Yuki and Shiro help their members to provide medical care to the suburban residents.
Instantly the hall turned into an emergency hospital. Complaints, screams, groans of pain, and cries are still heard here and there.
A few minutes passed, the Village Chief returned while carrying the sample tube and returned it to Shiro and Yuki.
“We will be back first to check this water. Please tell all residents not to consume the water first, because it is feared this problem began from well water.” Pinta Yuki to the two Village Chiefs before returning to his headquarters.
“Good, we will tell the citizens. Thank you very much.” Fatigue and also a feeling of relief were both emanated from the two village heads. It made the two seem much older by several years in an instant.
After making sure all the residents get treatment, the brothers return to the headquarters laboratory, because there is only the most complete research facility.
***
Not feeling that the sun had risen, Yuki who had helped Shiro began to get the answer. In the blood sample and most water samples showed some substance similar to snake venom.
But these substances are not something that is natural and have been created by humans because their effects are so powerful many times over and are so deadly unlike the original.
Among them such as cytotoxins and myotoxins that can cause necrosis and even blood clots.
There are also substances similar to the enzyme metalloprotease that can cause pulmonary edema so that respiratory failure can occur. Also dozens of other substances that have a very deadly effect.
Both were stunned by what they had seen from the results of the study.
Shiro and Yuki both concluded that someone had already made a conspiracy to harm the suburban villagers.
