Chapter 373: Caught in a predicament
Miao Linlin's sudden accident factor really startled the two. But after the fright, the investigation had to go as planned. While the two were collecting insect samples in the garden, Miao Linlin had been squatting in the distance, looking at them pitifully. Seeing that Ye Tao stopped her hand, she shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, what is the situation here?" I just went in and saw a dead body in the doorway. You must have colluded with the people inside to scare me, didn't you? ”
"Scaring you?" Ye Tao was angry and funny. "Why don't you go and see if the man is still angry?"
The little witch turned pale. If it weren't for the fear that Ye Tao would have seen the joke, she would have cried out a long time ago. Caterina couldn't stand it anymore. She patted Ye Tao and signaled him not to scare this little girl like this. "Since you're in, it's useless to be afraid. We'll explain to you what's going on here when we're done. ”
Miao Linlin nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "It's better for you. My brother-in-law is a bad guy. Ye Tao was angry when he heard the little witch's words. This guy broke in recklessly, and he is to blame? If he hadn't been busy collecting samples, Ye Tao would have gone over to teach her a lesson.
The two were busy from morning to evening. Because I was wearing an epidemic prevention suit, I didn't eat in the middle. Ye Tao can still hold on. Caterina was already exhausted. "The samples should be collected. Shall we go back and refuel before it gets dark? ”
After collecting the samples as planned, it was time for them to go back. Ye Tao glanced at Miao Linlin, who was waiting in the distance. Caterina followed Ye Tao's gaze and didn't know what to do. "Why don't you leave her here first......" "No! If she had known to her cousin, I wouldn't have been able to explain. Ye Tao was going through a fierce ideological struggle. Finally, he took off his helmet. Caterina was stupid. "Are you crazy?! We have no idea what is on the manor that is the source of infection. You're going to kill yourself. Put your helmet on. ”
"You go back alone. These samples need to be brought back to the real room for analysis. I'll stay here and continue to observe. After speaking, Ye Tao walked towards the poor Miao Linlin in the distance. Caterina sighed deeply and left with the specimen.
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong...... Miao Linlin thought that the first thing Ye Tao did when he came over was to beat her up. But Ye Tao didn't do that. "It's useless to say anything now. Come in with me and find something to eat. ”
At dinner, Ye Tao saw the duke himself. He looked much younger than Sir Edward. But he has the same calm aristocratic atmosphere as Sir Edward. Miao Linlin acted as a translator, and the two exchanged a few words. "Sir Edward has told me about Dr. Yip. I admire Dr. Yip's courage. And thank you for your adventurous investigation. During my stay at the castle, I will have my servants take good care of Dr. Yip and your companions. ”
Ye Tao thanked the master for his kindness. "We don't have enough time right now," he asked. Can you tell me about the symptoms of your two servants before they died? The Duke stopped his knife and fork. Dr. Yip hasn't eaten for a day. Let's eat first. Let's talk about this sad topic after eating. ”
Ye Tao listened to Miao Linlin's translation, and thought that she was hungry and deliberately said so. But the Duke had already picked up a steak and buried himself in it. After listening to the explanations of other subordinates, Ye Tao understood why the duke avoided talking about this topic at the dinner table.
The little witch looked foie gras: "Do you really want me to translate?" These people say that the situation is so miserable and so miserable. You just don't know it. I don't want to think about it. "Huh? Have you forgotten why I'm here? Now is your chance to atone for your sins. Translate it to me word for word. This is very important to me. ”
Miao Linlin honestly translated the symptoms described by the next person. When it was over, she turned pale. The duke was very gentlemanly and arranged for the maid to take Miao Linlin upstairs to rest. Without an interpreter, the two could not communicate. The duke looked at Ye Tao with a very complicated expression. Ye Tao understood his expression at all. "Don't worry, Duke. Coming here is not a death. It's here to end the pandemic! ”
The duke also seemed to understand Ye Tao's words. He nodded and bowed to Ye Tao.
After sending away the irrelevant people and others, Ye Tao began to analyze the description of the person who had just descended. He said to himself, "I didn't expect to be forced to stay. According to the descriptions of these people, these people were very distressed when they became ill. This has not been seen in previous cases. What does this mean......"
While Ye Tao was investigating in the duke's manor, Caterina was also working day and night. Three days later, there was still no news from Katerina's side. At the same time, two more people died from the infection at the estate. Ye Tao could have delayed their deaths. But seeing their faces distorted because of pain, Ye Tao could only send them on their last journey ruthlessly.
Because one after another people died, and the people in the manor were terrified. The prestige of the duke also began to work. The servants all felt that Ye Tao had been in contact with the deceased for the most time and was most likely to be infected. One by one, they stayed away from him. Only Miao Linlin regards Ye Tao as the only lifeline. When she was fine, she talked to Ye Tao. It seems that this is the only way to add some courage to persevere. "Brother-in-law, another person died today. What should we do? No, let's move out. Even if you don't leave the manor, you can pitch a tent outside. ”
Ye Tao shook his head. "There is no indication that the virus was transmitted through direct contact with guò. Living outside is no safer than living indoors. On the contrary, sleeping outside is more likely to be infected if the body's resistance is poor. ”
The little witch is in despair. "It's over, it's over. I didn't expect that my generation of beautiful girls would die in a foreign country before they had time to complete their great deeds. Brother-in-law, if I die, you must find a way to transport my body back to Suzhou and Hangzhou for burial. I wish my grave could be filled with roses. In this way, people who pass by will know that there is a beautiful girl buried underneath and not a bad old man. ”
Ye Tao was embarrassed. That's when he received a message from Katarina. "All samples have been checked. No virus was found. Ye Tao sighed untraceably after reading the news. Miao Linlin is still explaining her posthumous affairs: "My tomb is best built with stones." This will last for many years. But the stone cracks must be sealed. Otherwise, if you let the insects get in, you won't gnaw my face......"
"I didn't find out what the hell was going on." Ye Tao was upset. Hearing Miao Linlin's words, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Wait, what did you just say?"
"My tomb will be made of stone. What's wrong? ”
"Not that. Behind. What did you say later? ”
"Seal the cracks in the stone. Otherwise, worms will enter. ”
Miao Linlin's expression was blank. Ye Tao rushed over excitedly and kissed her white and tender face. "If I really find the culprit of the spread of the virus, I will definitely ask your cousin to build you a super luxurious tomb......"
