Ling Shuang was a little painful when she was scratched, but she didn't break free, and said in a slow voice: "That year was not good, the summer was hot and rainy, and many places were out of harvest after a flood. Later, after the seventh and a half months, many of the people who had burned paper from the graves came back sick. Especially in Ling Jiamao's house, the old lady is gone, and five generations of people send funerals, and it is not lively to beat and beat. As a result, two grandchildren fell ill when they went home, but a small cold, an adult man in his thirties, disappeared in a few days, which is very strange. ”

Ling Li listened to it. She carefully searched her memory for the things Ling Shuang mentioned, and finally got some impressions.

Uncle Jiamao's branch seems to be farther away from their side of the bloodline, but it is still in an ancestral tomb.

The old lady of his family passed away at the age of ninety-eight, and it is said that he was still drinking wine and eating meat the night before he died.

It stands to reason that this kind of joy and mourning is a good thing, so Uncle Jiamao's family did a big thing for the scenery, and the extravagance of the scene was famous at that time.

However, it didn't take long for it to spread that Uncle Mao's family was secretly mistreating the elderly, so the hungry ghost asked for his life and took two of them.

Something seemed to flash in his head, and these causes and consequences were strung together, and an increasingly clear line appeared in Ling Li's mind.

Ling Li couldn't help but tremble a little, her palms were slippery, and her heart was beating wildly.

She cleared her throat and tried to stabilize her emotions: "Sister Shuang, what did you just say about rats, is it true?" ”

Ling Shuang nodded in confirmation, but Ling Jiacheng suddenly stood up, his eyes were confused: "Xiaoshuang, I said, why don't I know?" ”

Ling Shuang glanced at him with some disgust: "Dad, you know that you drink and play cards, and you get drunk all day long, where do you know the big events of that year." ”

On the way back to the park, Ling Li kept trembling slightly.

Although she hadn't said it yet, she already had a vague answer in her heart.

She seems to have finally found a reason for her father to buy rat poison.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Nan Zhiyi waited for a day's call, and finally came.

A director of the Provincial Infectious Disease Center asked him whether there had been an infectious disease in the Nanxi area eight years ago that he had been asked by the Nanzhi Yituo people to help him last night. Because some of the files were sealed, it was very laborious to check, but in the middle of the night, there was finally an answer.

In just two minutes of calling, Nan Zhiyi listened to the message from the person opposite, and kept nodding, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Ling Li looked at him expectantly, hoping that the information he had received would really match what they had inadvertently heard from Ling Shuang's mouth today.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Ling Li: "Hemorrhagic fever, there was an epidemic of hemorrhagic fever near Nanxi that year. ”

"Hemorrhagic fever?" Ling Li clenched her palms, held back the excitement in her heart, and hurriedly flipped out her mobile phone and started to get up.

"Epidemic hemorrhagic fever, renal syndrome hemorrhagic fever, English name hemorrhagic fever, infectious disease department, multiple groups of young adults, common causes are caused by epidemic hemorrhagic fever virus, common symptoms are fever, headache, low back pain, orbital pain and nausea and vomiting, chest tightness, contagious, the virus can be excreted through the blood, saliva, urine, and feces of the host animal......"

The crisp girl's voice sounded in her ears: "Don't look at it, Baidu Encyclopedia is too awkward, I'll tell you." The so-called hemorrhagic fever, also known as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, has symptoms similar to those of a cold, but it is contagious, with a fatality rate of 20% to 90%, and if it becomes unstoppable. As for the source of infection......"

Zhong Zhuowen stopped when she said this, looked at Ling Li's expectant and nervous expression, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly: "We guessed right, this disease is a natural epidemic disease with rodents as the main source of infection. ”

Ling Li suddenly relaxed, panting slightly.

This answer is exactly what she speculated.

Nan Zhiyi nodded in agreement, and continued to explain the information given by Zhong Zhuowen: "Eight years, no, it was already nine years ago, Nanxi Hospital had treated more than ten cases of hemorrhagic fever, but the incidence area was not near Ling'an Town, but in the upper reaches of the Jialing River.

Because the disease has been a rare infectious disease since the 70s, no doctor identified it at first. In the end, it was found that it was not right to be cautious, and they were sent to the Provincial Infectious Disease Hospital, and the result of treatment was two deaths and nine recoveries. Because the epidemic was not serious, and it was afraid of causing panic, it did not spread widely. However, the rats washed down by the flood may have brought a disease to Ling'an Town. You can recall, at the turn of summer and autumn that year, was there a large-scale rodent extermination operation? ”

At that time, although all his energy was taken up because of the case at home, Ling Li now thinks about it, it seems that it is really as he said, it is true.

"The initial symptoms of this disease are very similar to the symptoms of a cold, and the incubation period is also long, and if it is not diagnosed in time or misdiagnosed as a cold, it is easy to die. Unlike a cold, hemorrhagic fever, oliguria, vomiting. ”

Zhong Zhuowen glanced at her phone and said.

"So, the thirties prime of life who died in the family and went home to the cemetery and was not rescued is actually hemorrhagic fever?" Ling Li asked her like this, but she actually had a judgment in her heart.

"It's been a long time since I can't verify whether it's true or not, but I deduced that your father suspected that the two dead were hemorrhagic fever, and that the rats rampant in the cemetery and the sand by the river were the root cause of hemorrhagic fever, so he looked for rat poison, so he carried wine bottles to the cemetery."

Nan Zhiyi analyzed with her like this, then glanced at Zhong Zhuowen, and said slowly: "Actually, I suspect at all that Ling Jiacheng said that the wine bottle that your father was carrying and overturned it halfway was actually alcohol used for disinfection. ”

Ling Li was reminded by him, and finally understood that when Ling Jiacheng said that she had severe rhinitis, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Ling Jiacheng said that he had severe rhinitis more than ten years ago, how could he tell the difference between good and bad wine? At that time, he probably had no sense of smell, and could only smell the wine, the reason why it was said to be good wine was because of the high concentration of alcohol and the strong pungent smell, for Ling Jiacheng, who was not so sensitive to smell, it smelled much better than the usual bland and tasteless wine.

However, these are just speculations, and other corroborating evidence is needed to really confirm Ling Jiashu's intention to buy * back then.

But after all, there is new hope.

Immediately after that, new news came.

Relying on the slight information given by Ling Shuang, Ling Li contacted Granny Yu, and from Granny Yu, she really had the contact information of Ling Jiamao's branch back then.

For the events of that year, the younger generations still remember it vividly.

After burying the old lady and coming back, there were two posterity in their thirties, at first it was a cold and fever, and it didn't attract attention, and the fever didn't go away for a few days, and the person's condition was getting worse and worse, so he went to the small hospital next door. As a result, he died less than a day after being admitted to the hospital, which was very fast.

Under Ling Li's careful questioning, the person being questioned thought about it carefully, and finally provided the key details of the year.

Indeed, sick people have very little urine, even with a few large bags of liquid infusions, there is almost no urine.

It's just that the nurses in the newly opened clinic were inexperienced, and they didn't notice the symptoms of the patient's oliguria at all, and treated it as a cold in a daze, which finally made a big mistake.

For this, the clinic also lost a lot of money.

Fortunately, the haemorrhagic fever did not spread widely.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Li couldn't help but tremble in her hands. She finally found a valid reason for her father's purchase*.

"Hemorrhagic fever! It's because of hemorrhagic fever! ”

Ling Li muttered, almost crying.

"Seriously ill, time is short, but the doctor is benevolent, occasionally I heard that after the flood, rats are rampant, and there is a young man who died of a cold and cold, and it was suspected that it was an infectious disease at that time. Because of the impact of the disease, his hands trembled and his temper was weird, and his previous good reputation was gone, and he knew that no one would believe in him, so he privately found* to go to the cemetery to exterminate rats. I was afraid to tell my family about the infectious disease, so I rubbed all my exposed skin with alcohol before I went home......"

Nan Zhiyi said slowly, as if he was simply recounting other people's life deeds, without any emotion in his voice.

"This is the result of our travel in the past few days, and it is also the last days of a doctor, but unfortunately, this is still a castle in the air based on assumptions, and there is no weighty evidence to support it. But ......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Ling Li, his eyes lit up, and continued: "This kind of life is more in line with the shadow of your father that I see from you than the story of a man who thinks that the matter of his eldest daughter makes him lose face, and he loses his mind and poisons his whole family under the torture of illness. ”

Ling Li burst into tears, unable to speak, only nodding heavily.

Zhong Zhuowen was silent, but she could see the surging emotions in her eyes, and she wanted to speak several times.

After a few minutes, Ling Li calmed down, smiled and tearful, and turned her head to look at her: "Can you say it now?" Did Zhong Chengheng ask you to come? ”

Zhong Zhuowen's performance in the past two days, often holding her mobile phone to communicate with whom, was so easy about the symptoms and treatment of hemorrhagic fever before, it was obvious that someone had taught her a lesson first.

Besides, although the school gave the green light to Zhong Zhuowen for skipping class under the guise of Nanzhiyi, it is impossible for a school with strict management like No. 7 Middle School to grant such a long vacation without notifying parents.

and Shi Meina, from her standpoint, she would never agree to Zhong Zhuowen following them on this trip, if no one was covering, I was afraid that there would have been police officers who had come from all the way from the capital to control them with the danger of abducting and trafficking minors.

After scrutinizing it like this, it is easy to see who else is supporting Zhong Zhuowen behind it.

Zhong Zhuowen's expression didn't change much, it seemed that everything was as she expected.

After a while, she bowed her head lightly and replied, "Yes, you finally guessed it." ”

Ling Li nodded, and did not say a word on this issue.

Late at night, I returned to the park and said goodbye and rested.

After a long day of traveling, coupled with the ups and downs of the case, and unremitting efforts finally came to fruition, Ling Li was very tired.

Before returning to the room, Zhong Zhuowen stopped her and smiled a little flatteringly: "Sister Ling, I have a sentence, I don't know if to say it?" ”

Ling Li looked at her in a daze, her brain almost stopped thinking, and she didn't have the strength to reply.

Nan Zhiyi rolled his eyes with a fierce look: "If you like to talk about it, you don't talk about it, don't talk about it, and don't talk about the conditions." ”

encountered Nan Zhiyi's unreasonableness, and the villain was deflated again.

She had to honestly give up all the tricks, and her voice was like a gnat, a little cramped and uneasy: "My dad wants to see you, I don't know ......"
