Before the police arrived, the area around the lotus pond where the dead bodies were found had been surrounded by the villagers of Lotus Pond Village.

A good deed person pulled the body from the lotus pond to the shore, turned over the body, and recognized the man's face, but it was a person from the village, and everyone was familiar with it.

The deceased's name is Zhang Fuquan, male, 42 years old, bachelor, living in the ancestral house at the west end of Hetang Village, usually living alone, his parents have died, and a younger sister married to a neighboring village, two days ago Zhang Fuquan went to attend the 10th birthday of his little nephew, and no one has seen him since then, but he did not expect to drown in the lotus pond.

The onlookers were full of discussions.

"Why did Zhang Fuquan die in the lotus pond?"

"It can't be pushed into the pond, right?"

"Which of us people in Hetang Village can't swim? Even if he is pushed in, he can swim out, and he usually has no enemies, who will harm him? I guess I drank too much wine when I attended the birthday party, and accidentally fell into it and drowned, right? ”

"It's really possible, the night before yesterday I saw him come back from the neighboring village, drunk, on the way I greeted him, he was still very happy, kept telling me that his little nephew had a good academic performance, and he took the first place in the school, after chatting a few words, he said that he was urgent, and it was convenient to go, I saw him go to the lotus pond, and I didn't care, who of you would have thought that this would happen, I would have known that I would follow him to take care of it."

"Hey...... Who would have thought that would happen? Now it's better to quickly inform his sister to take care of the aftermath, the weather is so hot, the corpse has begun to stink. ”

"I also talked to Zhang Fuquan more than a week ago, he said that he has been unwell recently, his stomach is swollen and uncomfortable, and he also urinates blood, do you think he is sick and walks unsteadily, plus he is drunk, so he fell into the lotus pond and drowned?"

"It's also possible, but we have to wait for the police to investigate."

"That should be the police to investigate the cause of death first, and after the investigation is understood, Zhang Fuquan and his sister can handle the funeral for him, right?"

"It should be so, why haven't the police come yet?"

Hetang Village is a remote mountain village, usually there are few major events, and now there is a sudden murder, people are talking about it, speculating about the cause of death of the deceased, most people do not really care about the deceased, many hold the mentality of watching the excitement.

Uncle Zhang's mind was heavier than others, not only because the deceased died in the lotus pond of his house, but also because of the sentence "urine blood" that he heard just now.

It is no coincidence that the deceased Zhang Fuquan also had symptoms of blood in the urine before his death, and it is no coincidence that Da Niu, a boy from the same village who had just stolen fish in the lotus pond, also had symptoms of blood in the urine.

Uncle Zhang asked the person who spoke just now, "You said that Zhang Fuquan had blood in urine before his death?" ”

"Yes, he told me in person, it is indeed blood in the urine, he said that this symptom has been for a while, and he still wants to go to the town to have a look."

"And then?"

"I don't know if he went to the doctor later, but I heard him say that his 10-year-old nephew had also urinated blood before, and then went to the hospital for treatment, and it seems to be cured."

Hearing the old man Zhang's discussion, some people echoed and said, "I haven't been able to pee smoothly these days, it can't be that I have some infectious disease, right?" ”

"I didn't have blood in my urine, but I coughed up blood, I coughed badly in the past two days, and there were blood streaks in my sputum."

An old man in his 70s in the crowd of onlookers also came over after hearing this, and looked at everyone's stomachs from time to time, "Do you have big stomachs?" ”

The people around him were asked inexplicably, "His third uncle, why are you asking people if they have big stomachs?" We are men, and we will not get pregnant and have babies. ”

The old man replied tremblingly, "I think of a long time ago, we were popular with water Gu, also known as blood Gu, which is a kind of insect in the water, after people are infected by him, they will be hot at first, their skin is itchy, and then they will gradually malnourish, and finally they will have a big belly, some people will cough up blood, and occasionally some people will urinate blood, and many people died back then, and then after the founding of New China, the government made great efforts to treat this disease, and the people at the epidemic prevention station sent medicine door to door, and the medicine was also sprinkled in the fields and ponds. After a while, this disease was cured and the root was broken, and now, because it has been decades since the blood Gu died, could the symptoms of blood in the urine, coughing up blood, and itching all over the body that you are talking about be that the previous blood Gu has returned? ”

The old man who spoke was an elder in the village and was well-informed, and the onlookers were frightened by the old man's words, even more so than when they saw a dead body.

Uncle Zhang wanted to ask the old man in the village, but suddenly, a siren sounded behind him.

Nan Hanfei rushed over with the police team, and the scene was cordoned, and the policeman Xiao Li found the onlookers for questioning, and after a brief questioning, he found the first eyewitness Uncle Zhang to understand the situation.

The police are making a record for Uncle Zhang here, and investigating the scene there.

Soon, the policeman Xiao Li reported to Nan Hanfei, "South Team, the scene is seriously damaged, there are no valuable clues, the forensic doctor has examined the body, there are no obvious external injuries, and the specific cause of death will be known only after further autopsy." ”

Nan Hanfei didn't respond to Xiao Li's report, but looked up at the lotus leaves in the sky, as if thoughtful.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd of onlookers outside the cordon.

A middle-aged woman in the crowd suddenly fell to the ground, convulsed all over, and foamed at the mouth.

Someone shouted in panic, "Someone is crazy." ”

Nan Hanfei picked up the warning belt, quickly stepped forward, and found that the middle-aged woman who fell to the ground was convulsing, it should be a seizure.

Nan Hanfei lay the middle-aged woman on her side, and the white foam at the corner of her mouth gushed out and dripped on the ground to avoid suffocation caused by saliva backflow when lying down.

After two minutes, the middle-aged woman's convulsions stopped.

The man who was next to the middle-aged woman was full of panic, "Wife, what's wrong with you?" You didn't have that problem before. ”

"What happens to be the first seizure?" Nan Hanfei asked the middle-aged woman's husband.

"Well, it's never been before, and today I don't know why it's suddenly like this, it won't really be like what his second uncle said, the blood Gu is back, right?"

When the onlookers heard the word "Blood Gu", their expressions were more terrifying than seeing a dead corpse.

"What blood Gu?" Nan Hanfei asked.

The oldest old man replied, "Blood Gu, also known as Water Gu, was popular in our place a few decades ago, as long as people were stained with water with blood Gu, they would get sick, and in the end, their arms and legs were as thin as a reed stick, but their stomachs were as big as a cow, and they died very miserably, and many people died back then." ”

Nan Hanfei understood what the old man said, "You mean schistosomiasis?" ”

"Yes, yes, when the people from the epidemic prevention station came to do publicity, they said that this blood Gu was schistosomiasis."

Nan Hanfei is a police officer, and although he knows medical knowledge, he still needs a professional doctor to deal with it, so he told the villagers, "This was once a schistosomiasis epidemic area, you better go to the hospital for a check-up." ”
