In the same way that the monkey farm used to deal with dead monkeys, Kupper buried the dead monkey that had bitten him in the woods not far from the monkey farm.

Over the next few days, Kupper became more and more unwell, with fever, headaches, red eyes that looked like they were bleeding, and constant nausea and vomiting.

Kupper couldn't hold it anymore and went home, and on the day he returned home, his boss, Kay, informed Kupper that he had been fired.

The day after Kupper returned home, he died in his bed, in a horrible and horrible state, bleeding all over his body, and the house was littered with blood he vomited.

At this, the old woman choked up, she did not want to say too much about the tragic situation of her husband before he died.

The old woman's description is basically the same as that of Kumo, a cleaner who was rehired by the monkey farm.

Dr. Sky asked the old woman, "Do you know who sent the monkey that bit Kupper to the monkey farm?"

The old woman thought for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Listening to Kupper, it seems that he is a man who often sends monkeys to the monkey farm, he is very tall, with curly thick hair, hooked nose, brown skin, and is a mixture of white and black. ”

Dr. Sky: "Is that man's name Aurus?"

"Sort of. ”

Through this day's investigation, from the hospital, the monkey farm, the small town of Case, and the tribal funerals around the town, Dr. Sky put the whole thing together.

Half a month ago, Elous went into the forest to hunt two wild monkeys, during which Elous did not know what pathogens he came into contact with, and the pathogens have been lurking in Aros's body.

Elous came out of the forest and sold the monkeys he had hunted to the monkey farm in the small town of Keith.

Kay, the owner of the monkey farm, and Kupper, the only cleaner at the monkey farm at the time, came into contact with Elous and the monkeys brought by Eroth.

A week after returning from hunting in the forest, Elous fell ill and died.

Kay, the owner of the monkey farm, also fell ill and died a week after coming into contact with Irus and the wild monkeys he had brought with him, with the same symptoms of death as Elous.

Kupper, the cleaner, fell ill and died seven days later after being bitten by a monkey brought by Eroth, with the same symptoms of death as his bosses, Kay and Ayrus.

Of the three deaths, the earliest time of death was seven days ago, the owner of the monkey farm was two days ago, and the cleaner Kupper was a day ago, and the three people died very closely, and the connection between them is that Elous and the monkey, did the pathogen that Eroth was originally infected with come from the monkey?

After returning from Case Town, Dr. Sky compiled the day's on-site investigation report and emailed it to Nan Zhiqiao.

Minami no Joe was still on an aid mission in Kenema, and after receiving an investigation report from Dr. Sky in the evening, he read it carefully and exchanged his views on the three fatalities.

Nan Zhiqiao believes that Aurus, the owner of the monkey farm, Kay, and the cleaner Kupper, have died one after another, and whether the three dead were infected by monkeys, or were the three and monkeys infected from other reservoir hosts of the virus?

In addition to investigating the source of the virus, it is also necessary to prevent the spread of viral infection.

It is still unclear how this new virus is infected, whether it is transmitted by bodily fluids, mosquito bites, airborne transmission?

Different routes of transmission have different ways to deal with them.

People who have been in contact with the three deceased people and the deceased wild monkeys should be monitored.

Dr. Sky understands what Minami no Qiao said about monitoring contacts to prevent the spread of infection, but he still has some doubts about investigating the source of the virus.

Dr. Sky called and asked, "Isn't the source of the virus that killed the three people when the monkeys were hunted by Aelous from the forest? ”

"It is precisely because the monkey has died that the monkey is not the storage host of the new virus, and the relationship between the virus and the storage host is a coexistence relationship after a long period of evolution, and the virus will not kill the storage host, so as to ensure that the virus is passed on from generation to generation as the host reproduces," Nan Zhiqiao explained. ”

Dr. Sky seemed to understand, but it was difficult to investigate the whereabouts of Elous who had only one shotgun and drove an old SUV into the forest to hunt alone, and now that Elous was dead, his last trip to the forest could not be found.

Minami no Joe suggests that Dr. Sky go to Elous's former colleague to ask about it, and perhaps Elous will reveal the news of his trip to the forest during his conversation with his colleague.

The next day, Dr. Sky followed Nan no Joe's advice and went to the South Valley Lumber Mill in Case Town.

The head of the South Valley Lumber Mill is a Chinese man named Li Gang, who was accompanied by a bus when Irus was sick and went to Kenema Hospital, and then returned to the South Valley Lumber Mill in Case Town because of a temporary emergency.

Dr. Sky had planned to ask Li Gang to find out about the situation of Aelous, but when he arrived at the South Valley Lumber Mill, he found that the head of the factory, Li Gang, was absent from the leave, and the person in charge of receiving Dr. Sky was Martin, another middle-level leader of the South Valley Lumber Mill, an obese middle-aged man with dark skin and shining light.

Martin was one of Elous's close colleagues, and Elous often shared his hunting experiences, including his last trip to the forest to hunt monkeys before he died.

Martin told Dr. Sky that after his last hunt in the forest, Elous had boasted to his colleagues about how he had caught a monkey king in a trap, even though they didn't believe that Elous had actually caught the monkey king, perhaps it was just a relatively robust adult male monkey.

Dr. Sky asks Martin to focus on Irus' experience in the forest, and Matin tries to recall all the information that Eros has said to his colleagues, and finally describes the general distance Irus has traveled in the forest.

Driving an old SUV, Irus walked northwest along the mountain road south of the South Valley Lumber Mill in the small town of Case, first passing two local tribes, and then encountering a small river with a wide green meadow where black buffalo were grazing.

Irus drove far around the buffalo and found a valley.

Parking the buggy outside the valley, Irus entered the valley with a shotgun and a trap cage for hunting.

The valley is lush with trees, where the monkeys live, and where Ellus sets traps to catch them.

Eros chose a spot in the valley, hid the cage trap in a place frequented by monkeys, and waited for the monkeys to break into the trap and harvest the prey the next day.

That night, Elous stayed in a cave above the valley.

From the valley to the cave, there are traces of a herd of elephants passing by, and the herd of elephants has made a path through the forest, and Elous has followed the path to find the cave.

The cave is large, with sharp, shiny, transparent stones and a lot of bats.
