"From the town clinic?"

"Rest assured, I have asked the doctors and nurses at the health center to administer preventive medication for plague, and close contacts have also been self-quarantined for observation."

Gu Yanan is very satisfied with Section Chief Li's handling, and all steps of the emergency response to the epidemic have been carried out in an orderly manner.

Section Chief Li, a thin old man, had a gloomy look on his face, "Director Gu, I suspect that this time it is pneumonic plague based on experience, and if there are plague cases, there must be rats that spread the plague, but I didn't find anything related to rats in Wang Dequan's house, and there was no half mouse feces, so the source of infection could not be found, and it was difficult to control the epidemic." ”

"Where did Wang Dequan go before he died?"

"The people who have come into contact with Wang Dequan are all dead, and I can't ask any clues."

This is indeed a problem.

Since there are no clues at present, I can only find clues from the environment in which Wang Dequan usually lives.

Gu Yanan and Lu Li began to inspect Wang Dequan's home.

Four stone and tile houses, in disrepair, some roof tiles have fallen off, the yard is littered with hunting tools, and the furniture in the house is old and simple.

The kitchen is even more rudimentary, a large iron pot is rusty, and there is not a single grain of rice in the rice jar.

Lu Li checked this and said to himself, "Wang De's family is too simple, doesn't he usually cook?" ”

Section Chief Li has been following behind Lu Li and Gu Yanan, looking at the place where the two of them have inspected him, "I have learned from the people in the village, Wang Dequan is a bachelor, he usually lives alone, and his younger brother and daughter-in-law send him to eat every day, he rents his land to the people in the village, he himself does not do farm work, he often goes to Qingcheng Mountain to hunt, and the prey he catches will be sold in the market." ”

"Could it be that you encountered a wild mouse or something while hunting in the mountains and were infected with the plague?"

"There is also this possibility, but we have been monitoring the rodent density near Qingcheng Mountain in the past few years, and we have not found that wild mice carry Yersinia pestis."

Gu Yanan found a pile of clothes at the head of the bed, and there were blood stains on the clothes.

"This should be Wang Dequan's clothes after his death, we visited the surrounding neighbors, and some neighbors reported that when Wang Dequan was found on the morning of November 10, he was wearing a yellow-green military coat, and his clothes were covered with blood. Section Chief Li explained.

Gu Yanan looked through the bloody clothes and found a small yellow-brown dot on the sleeve.

Bowing his head and approaching, Gu Yanan used tweezers to pick up the small yellow dot.

It was a bug smaller than the head of tweezers.

"Fleas?"

"Rat-flea?!"

Lu Li and Section Chief Li exclaimed at the same time.

Lu Li opened a small clean sampling bag and caught the little flea under Gu Yanan's tweezers, "This flea is an important link in the plague transmission chain, and then look for rats, if it is parasitic on rats, it is rat fleas, and it is more likely to spread plague." ”

Section Chief Li wondered, "Our county disease control has searched for Wang De's family and nearby, and there are no mice, so where did this flea come from?" I see that there are earth dogs and stray dogs around, could the fleas come from the dogs? ”

Gu Yanan found four fleas in the bloody clothes, and after putting them all into the sampling bag, he instructed Lu Li, "Bring them back to the laboratory for testing, this is an important clue to find the pathogen." ”

After inspecting the bloody clothes, Gu Yanan found that there was a large package at the head of the bed, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of old bottles and cans.

Section Chief Li didn't care, "I don't know where Wang Dequan collected these rags." ”

"Ragged?" Lu Li's eyes were sharp, staring at one of the cyan porcelain vases, "This seems to be an antique from the Han Dynasty, I have seen it on the Internet, and the auction price is 12 million yuan." ”

Gu Yanan and Section Chief Li were stunned by Lu Li's words.

Twelve million worth of antiques! How could it appear in an ordinary villager's house.

Lu Li looked through the bottles and cans in the package, and the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became, "These seem to be antiques from the Han Dynasty, and they don't look like fakes, this Wang Dequan is a rich man." ”

"What kind of rich man, Wang Dequan is a famous bachelor in the village, if he had money, he would have married a daughter-in-law earlier." Although Section Chief Li was surprised, he was very skeptical about the origin of the antiques.

After re-searching the home of the first case, Wang Dequan, an hour has passed, and no more clues have been found except for the fleas in the bloody clothes.

Section Chief Li took Gu Yanan and Lu and left to the home of Wang Dequan's younger brother Wang Dehua.

From the east end of the village to the west end of the village, it is necessary to cross the entire Wangjia Village, and the usual lively village roads are silent and bleak at this time, and all the villagers are closed.

Some people looked through the door of their own homes and saw the disease control personnel with full-body biosafety protection, and they were even more alarmed.

Disease control personnel sprayed disinfectant all the way, and the whole village was filled with the smell of disinfectant water.

The younger brother Wang Dehua's family, the son who was on a business trip has not yet received the news, the family has died at home, and the bodies have been carried out in body bags by the county disease control staff, and the bodies of other villagers are placed in the open space at the entrance of the village.

After coming out of Wang Dehua's house, he went to the other houses in the village where there were deceased, and the situation was the same as what Section Chief Li knew before.

After visiting the villagers and spraying disinfectant water on every household, Gu Yanan and his party arrived at the head of the village.

The corpses of the villagers were piled up in the open space at the head of the village.

Section Chief Li was in trouble, "Director Gu, it's winter, the land is frozen like a lump of ice and eggs, and the method of burying the corpse deep will not work." ”

"If you can't bury it deeply, you will be cremated en masse."

Section Chief Li hesitated for two seconds and nodded, "Okay, I can only be cremated collectively, and I will mobilize the village leaders to do work for the villagers." ”

"Wait, before the mass cremation, I'm going to take a look at the body."

Section Chief Li stopped, first found Wang Dequan's body bag, and after opening it, a blackened face was revealed.

Because it was winter, the sub-zero temperature froze the corpse, and Wang Dequan's face was clean except for being black because it had been washed before the funeral.

Gu Yanan leaned over to examine his head, neck, arms, chest, back, thighs, calves, and feet......

A red dot!

"So many red dots?!" Lu Li exclaimed.

There were many red spots on Wang Dequan's body, not bleeding spots, but more like red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes.

Thinking of the fleas found in Wang Dequan's bloody clothes, Lu Li speculated, "These red dots are bags that have been bitten by fleas?" ”

"Quite possibly, look at the other corpses."

The bodies of other deceased villagers in Wangjia Village were examined one by one, and apart from the typical bleeding symptoms, there were no red spots on their bodies from flea bites.

Lu Li frowned, thinking about how Wang Dequan and the other villagers were infected with the pathogen.

Gu Yanan's cell phone rang.

Caller ID Wang smiled.

"Sister Yanan, the test results of the specimens sent by Wangjia Village have come out, the liver, spleen, lungs, heart and blood of the corpse, the patient's vomit, and the blood and sputum of several sick villagers are all positive for Yersinia pestis PCR results."

Sure enough, it's the plague!
