"Let's take advantage of this opportunity to encourage the natives to attack these Chinese......."

"No, no, no, take a look again, I'm curious what these Chinese can find out, a plague that has nothing to do with them, why should they waste their energy?"

Hiding in the window was actually Viscount Ferdinand, the French consul general living in Egypt, who was also the behind-the-scenes manager of the entire canal company, Napoleon III trusted him very much, and the troops of the two Egyptian brigades, Viscount Ferdinand, could be mobilized with full power.

This time, in order to deal with the Chinese, he actually rushed from the comfort of Cairo to the port of Suez in advance, but he himself did not expect that he encountered this sudden plague just a few days after arriving.

"My lord, why hesitate? Those natives who only recognize money have long complained that we have given less deposits, so it is better to take this opportunity to let them make a small fortune first, so as to reassure their hearts......

"Enough! Ignorant things, what can you discern!" Ferdinand rebuked in a low voice, "Can't you see the professionalism of these people? I know that these doctors are not ordinary just by the equipment in their hands, when will there be so many high-quality doctors in barbaric Asia?"

"This plague has not only killed the natives, but also our garrison and company employees, and now that there are people who are not afraid of death and want to find a solution, why don't we just wait ......and watch?

Through the window and the open courtyard door opposite, Viscount Ferdinand could clearly see everything in the courtyard, especially the wooden medicine boxes arranged in the corner of the wall and the row of microscopes and other equipment, which proved the professionalism of this group of people.

The bodies of the dead were carried out one after another, the vomit and urine from which the samples had been extracted were buried in deep pits dug in place, and the melted samples in the glass were placed under microscopes, and the culprits of the plague gradually came to the surface.

"Excessive red blood cells and white blood cells in stool samples......"

"Staphylococcus aureus exceeded...... Dysentery bacilli exceeded the ......"

"There are a large number of patients who have symptoms of severe blood in the stool...... Three unidentified bacteria were found in the vomit and samples have been taken for retention ......"

"The patient was dehydrated a lot and needed to be replenished with salt and sugar water, and he had to coordinate with local officials...... Prepare for blood draw, test blood sample......"

The entire medical team began to work in an intense and orderly manner, and now Dr. Buck and Dr. Huang were 80% sure that the root cause of the plague was dysentery, but the source of the dysentery contamination must be found, and only by finding the source can the final judgment be made.

After two and a half hours of busywork, the soldiers who had gone to the wells in the harbor to collect samples rushed back, glass bottles filled with muddy well water.

"There are a total of six wells in the Port of Suez, all of which have been sampled...... These Egyptians are so bad that no one cares when we look for them to lead the way, and we all look at us like ghosts......" Ma scolded angrily.

"Don't be impatient, they don't know anything about the plague, maybe in their eyes this plague is just divine punishment!"

"Found it...... Sure enough, five of the samples from the six wells had the presence of E. coli and dysentery bacilli, and various other intestinal harmful bacteria were also seriously exceeded......"

"That's right!" Buck strode out of the yard "It should be a big outbreak of dysentery caused by drinking water pollution, this is not a very serious plague, as long as you teach the locals how to prevent it, you can effectively stop it, take me to inspect the well, and let the magistrate come as a guide immediately......"

"Don't mention it, that timid fellow met us once when we were looking for a well, but he didn't want to show us the way, and that guy was already scared! The other local residents are also virtuous, and when they see us, they hide and shout desperately when they knock on the door, and we don't know if God knows if they are scolding us......"

Luo Monkey frowned and said, "Not only that, I have a faint feeling of being watched, there must be a group of people who are spying on us, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time! Don't forget the Führer's previous reminder, maybe the French will come to do something!"

Of course, Buck and Dr. Huang knew that this was the territory of the French, but the doctor's duty was to cure the sick and save people, especially this large-scale plague, and two hundred people had already fallen in the port of 3,000 people, and if left unchecked, at least a third of the people would be infected in the future.

The heart of the doctor's parents can't take care of it at the moment, "No, we can't watch the people here die in vain, these Egyptians don't dare to lead the way, we will find it ourselves!"

"What are you looking for?" the soldiers asked in unison.

"Find a toilet!"

"Huh?" everyone was dumbfounded.

Immediately after that, the whole people of the port of Suez noticed the behavior of these oriental madmen, and they did not have a guide to guide them, but searched the city like a carpet, went into the toilets when they saw them, and then dug deep wells around the dung pits.

There were no flush toilets in those days, and there was no underground drainage system in the Suez area, and the toilets were nothing more than digging a pit in the sand and surrounding it with reed mats.

The poor use the public toilets on the streets, and the rich will build toilets in their small yards, anyway, the yellow sand is everywhere and the climate is dry, and the feces will soon dry and weather, and then bury them deep in the sand to be cleaned.

This has been the habit of ancient people for thousands of years, but in the eyes of these bacteriological experts, this habit is very dangerous behavior.

"Sure enough, the groundwater has been polluted...... "After digging five meters underground, you can already see damp sand, and there are indeed a large number of bacteria in the sewage samples taken here."

At this point, it took the Chinese medical team four and a half hours to finally figure out the ins and outs of the entire plague.

"Let's go to the local officials!" Buck thought suddenly, "Let's go to the head ......of the canal company, I think only the French can understand what we say, and it is incomprehensible to these local natives!"

"Looking for the French? Dr. Barker, you're crazy...... Isn't that self-inflicted? They won't pay attention to us!"

"It's one thing for the French to ignore us, but it's another thing for us to know the answer to our questions and not tell us!" said Barker, a stubborn English doctor, insisting on meeting the canal company administrators.

In Dr. Barker's heart, he is British, and no matter how much the French hate the Chinese, he should at least give himself a little face.

But I never expected that at the door of the two-story building, Buck and his party had a closed door.

The two French soldiers watched in horror as Buck and his party raised their bayonets, "Stop, don't go forward!" You have just come from the plague house, and you are not allowed to approach the company...... Stand back!"

"Damn, how dare you show us bayonets, brothers, and see who's afraid of whom!" Ma replied with an order, and there was a clattering of bayonets beside him, and a row of Mauser rifles with bayonets was clearly placed in front of the noses of the French soldiers.

"Something without conscience! We will solve the plague for you, and you dare to use your bayonet without saying thank you! There is a kind of you trying to ...... I can't kill you!"
