Gu Yanan promptly put the address and co-worker information obtained from the previous four patients in front of the patient's wife.

"Yes, yes, this is in this place, and there is my husband's name here, his name is Zhang Dali."

Sure enough, it was a construction team.

There are 8 people in the construction team, 5 of whom have been admitted to the hospital, and there are still two teammates and a team leader, so I don't know what happened to them.

——

In Qingcheng County, a community.

The home of one of the teammates of the construction team, Zhang Xiaogang.

County CDC Section Chief Li, as well as Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao knocked on the door of Zhang Xiaogang's house.

The door was opened by an old lady with gray hair.

"Is this Zhang Xiaogang's home?"

The old lady looked inquisitive, but still nodded, "Zhang Xiaogang is my grandson, who just came back from the construction site last night, who are you?" What are you looking for him for? ”

Section Chief Li showed his work card, "We are from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate an anthrax epidemic, because your grandson Zhang Xiaogang's teammates are infected with anthrax, so we came over to check him out." ”

"Oh, it's a doctor, please come in."

After entering the house, the old lady enthusiastically introduced to the people from the disease control, "Xiaogang's parents went early, he was raised by me alone, this child is very filial, he came back to see me when he has time, he arrived at home at 10 o'clock last night, and gave me a sum of money, which means that he just earned it recently." ”

The old lady walked to the door of a bedroom and knocked lightly, "Xiaogang, get up, a doctor is coming to you." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao asked on the side, "Grandma, when you enter your grandson's house, do you have to knock on the door in advance?" ”

"I don't usually use it, but when Xiaogang came back last night, he said he had a headache, and the headache was even worse after he got up in the morning. He asked for leave from the team, took some cold medicine, and slept until now in the morning, and he also specially asked me not to call him for lunch, I thought that this child was too tired on the construction site to get sick, and I also wanted him to rest for a while. ”

Lu Li feels bad, this Zhang Xiaogang can't get out of bed because he is sick, right?

Wang Xiaoxiao also knew that the matter was serious, and other workers were infected with anthrax, and now this Zhang Xiaogang also had fever and headaches, and it is estimated that he was also infected.

Section Chief Li: "Open the door quickly, your grandson may be in danger." ”

Ignoring nothing else, Grandma Zhang immediately pushed the door open.

There was a man curled up on the bed in the bedroom, his body wrapped tightly in the quilt, and his head covered in the quilt, unable to see whether he was dead or alive.

Considering that the disease is extremely contagious, Wang Xiaoxiao asked Grandma Zhang to wait outside the house, and the CDC team put on protective clothing and entered the bedroom.

Lifting the quilt on the bed, the young Zhang Xiaogang trembled, his face turned blue, he shouted twice but did not respond, and he was already unconscious.

Sure enough, he was not lightly ill.

Grandma Zhang outside the bedroom was anxious and kept asking, "How is my grandson?" ”

"The situation is not good, you need to be sent to the hospital immediately, Grandma Zhang, you have to go to the hospital with us for an examination."

"Okay, okay, go now."

Wang Xiaoxiao followed the ambulance to send Zhang Xiaogang and Grandma Zhang to the County People's Hospital.

Lu Li followed Section Chief Li to the home of another construction team member in the next community.

The situation is similar, although he has become ill, his symptoms are not as severe as Zhang Xiaogang's, and he was also sent to the county people's hospital by ambulance.

Only the captain of the eight-member construction team is now left, and his condition has not yet been clarified.

According to the address provided before, Lu Li and Section Chief Li found the captain's home, but they found that a cordon was pulled up at the door of the captain's house from a distance, and several policemen were busy inside.

"Why are the police here? Nothing will happen to that captain, right? "Section Chief Li of the county disease control wanted to enter the captain's house with questions, but was stopped by the police at the door.

Section Chief Li showed his work card, "I am from the CDC and am investigating an anthrax epidemic, may I ask what happened inside?" Is Zhang Liguo here? ”

When the policeman guarding the door heard this, his face changed again and again, and he hurriedly reported the situation to the police officer who led the team inside.

Soon, an older plainclothes policeman came out, looked at Section Chief Li's work card, and asked, "Are you sure Zhang Liguo is infected with anthrax?" ”

Section Chief Li: "Zhang Liguo is the captain of a construction team, and his teammates have all been confirmed to be infected with Bacillus anthracis, and we are here to investigate and sample Zhang Liguo. ”

"Zhang Liguo is dead, we received a report from the family and came here to do an on-site investigation, the forensic doctor has examined the body, ruling out the possibility of his murder, you can go in."

In the room, Zhang Liguo's wife had not yet recovered from her grief, and kept wiping her tears when she made notes with the police.

In the bedroom, Zhang Liguo's body was lying on the bed as it was, as it was before death, covered in bruises, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and a large amount of blood-colored cough on the sheets and the floor.

At the scene, he was sick and dead.

Section Chief Li commanded the investigation team of the county disease control to take samples of the deceased.

Lu Li asked the deceased's wife in the living room about some of the deceased's movements before his death.

"My husband came back yesterday evening, and then went out again, and came home at 10 o'clock in the evening, at that time he just said that he was not feeling well, he felt that it might be a cold, he was afraid of infecting me, so he ran to the guest room to sleep, but when he got up the next morning to cook and prepare for him to eat, he came in and saw that he was covered in blood, and he was lying on the bed and was out of breath."

"Where did he go before he went home?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me."

If the trajectory of the deceased's activities before his death is not clarified, it is impossible to find out the close contact of people, which is the key to controlling the spread of the epidemic.

The police saw that the CDC had taken over the investigation and was about to withdraw, but Lu Li found the police officer who led the team, "Comrade policeman, we need your help here." ”

"Help what? How can our police help with infectious diseases? ”

"To check the trajectory of the deceased's movements, it may be necessary to adjust the monitoring, which requires the help of the police."

"Okay, no problem."

——

5:30 p.m.

The construction site of the scenic road under the Qingcheng Mountain.

Because the members of the construction team either died of illness or were hospitalized, the entire project was stopped, and the construction site was silent.

Zhou Lao and Gao Fei stopped the construction site with a cordon tape, and the two were sampling around the dormitory area.

Chu Qingfeng appeared around the construction site in a luxury car.

Through the cordon, Chu Qingfeng shouted to Zhou Lao and Gao Fei.

"Is Yanan here?"

Zhou Lao knew that Chu Qingfeng didn't dare to step into the cordon, so he just answered from a distance, "No, how could Boss Chu be here?" ”

"This is part of the scenic project, and the construction team members are all on leave, so I came over to see the specific situation."

Gao Fei: "The construction team is yours?" ”

"They are not employees of our group, and many of our group's projects are contracted out, this is a private engineering team, and they only contract this section of the road."

"Oh, there's an anthrax epidemic on this construction team, and we're doing a flow survey."

"Why didn't Yanan come over?"

"She is following up on the patient's situation at the county people's hospital, and Zhou Lao and I are responsible for sampling here."

Chu Qingfeng got into the luxury car and left.

Zhou Lao and Gao Fei looked at each other, and when this person heard useful news, he immediately turned around and left.
