Lianhai First People's Hospital, Department of Infectious Diseases.

Gu Yanan and Gu Jiashu stood beside Nan Hanfei's hospital bed.

Nan Hanfei looked at Gu Yanan's eyes, full of expectation.

Instead of asking about his condition, Nan Hanfei asked, "Has the source of this outbreak of Trypanosomiasis been found?" ”

Gu Yanan shook his head, "So far, only more than 20 confirmed cases have been found, but the source has not been found. ”

"How is Uncle Ge?"

"Uncle Ge's condition has reached the middle and late stages, trypanosomes have invaded his nervous system, and he has shown symptoms of lethargy, and the doctor has given him the corresponding medicine, and the symptoms have improved."

"Mid-to-late stage?! Isn't it serious? ”

"Not all patients in the middle and late stages have a poor prognosis, although Uncle Ge's condition is in the middle and late stages, his usual resistance is good, and his body does not show obvious emaciation symptoms, although trypanosomes invade his nervous system, but Uncle Ge is sensitive to drug reactions, the course of the disease has been controlled, and the symptoms have improved."

"You mean, Uncle Ge's life won't be in danger?"

Gu Yanan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, and said comfortingly to Nan Hanfei: "At least there will be no danger to life for now." ”

"Does he have someone around to take care of?"

"Don't worry, the hospital has arranged a nurse for him, and there will be no problem."

Here Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei were chatting, and Gu Jiashu, who was standing on the side, coughed.

Gu Yanan came back to his senses and hurriedly introduced Nan Hanfei and Gu Jiashu, "This is my brother Gu Jiashu Gu, this is the captain of the criminal police team of the Municipal Bureau - Nan Hanfei. ”

Gu Jiashu had long heard that it was Nan Hanfei who rescued the little sister from the sea in the car accident on the cross-sea bridge, but he never had the chance to see him, but now he met in the ward.

Gu Jiashu smiled and said: "I heard that Nan Hanfei, the captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Team, is my sister's life-saving benefactor, and I always wanted to thank him in person, but I was stopped by my sister, it turns out that you have known each other for a long time." ”

Nan Hanfei was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes moved from Gu Yanan's body to Gu Jiashu's face, and he also smiled: "The accident on the cross-sea bridge was just a coincidence, no matter who met it, it would save people, but this time it was Yanan who found out that I was infected with West African trypanosomiasis, so it was Yanan who saved my life." ”

Hearing Nan Hanfei's name "Yanan" to Gu Yanan, a trace of strangeness flashed in Gu Jiashu's heart, is the relationship between the two so close?

Gu Yanan couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that his brother Gu Jiashu was distracted when he was talking to others, and hurriedly reminded softly: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Jiashu came back to his senses, smiled in disguise, and at the same time looked at the medical records in his hand, and said, "After taking the medicine, Captain Nan's infection has been controlled, and there will be no danger to his life." ”

"Thank you, Dr. Gu." Nan Hanfei thanked him sincerely, "I didn't feel too uncomfortable before, if it wasn't for Yanan to find out, I think I might end up with the same consequences as Chen Dali next door." ”

Chen Dali, who was also living in the infectious disease ward, was pronounced dead two hours ago because he had reached the advanced stage of trypanosomiasis and the medication was ineffective.

Chen Dali's death is heart-wrenching and frightening news for a patient with trypanosomiasis who has just been admitted to the hospital.

Although Nan Hanfei is accustomed to seeing life and death in criminal cases, he still has a natural fear of infectious diseases.

Now hearing Gu Jiashu tell him as a doctor that his life is not in danger, Nan Hanfei breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jiashu's mobile phone rang suddenly, and after answering the call, it was a patient who had an emergency and needed to be dealt with by Gu Jiashu.

Gu Jiashu explained a few words and left Nan Hanfei's ward.

Only Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei were left in the ward.

Nan Hanfei smiled at Gu Yanan and said, "Save your life, and I want to trouble you to take care of it." ”

"No problem, I'll come over to see you every day, oh yes, there's one more business."

Gu Yanan's face became serious, and Nan Hanfei couldn't help but be nervous, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's about the sudden outbreak of West African trypanosomiasis in Lianhai City, and now the source of the infection has not been found, as long as the source is not found in one day, more people will be infected, so I want to ask you for some clues."

"What do you want to know?"

"Judging from your condition, you have been infected with trypanosomiasis for about a year, where did you frequent a year ago?"

Nan Hanfei thought for a while and replied: "I came to Lianhai City two years ago, and my usual life is very regular, that is, I go to work at the police station, go home from work, go to the suburbs to climb mountains on weekends, and go out to arrest suspects when there is a case, but the scope is all around Lianhai City, I have not been far away, let alone abroad, and I have not been to West Africa. ”

Gu Yanan sat beside Nan Hanfei's hospital bed, recorded everything Nan Hanfei said, and then continued to ask, "When did you and Uncle Ge meet?" What kind of contact do you have on a daily basis? ”

"When I first came to Lianhai City two years ago, I met Uncle Ge, we are neighbors, but in the first year, we only met and occasionally said hello, and then I knew that Uncle Ge lived alone, and there were many inconveniences in life, so I would often go to help him."

"When did you first become acquainted? In other words, when did you often help Uncle Ge? ”

"About a year ago, once Uncle Ge went out to walk a bird, suddenly fell on the way back, was bumped into by me, sent him to the hospital, and stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, during which I often went to the hospital to visit him, since he was discharged home, I often went to his house to help, that is, to help clean up and repair some things."

A year ago, that is, when Nan Hanfei may have started to be infected.

Gu Yanan continued to ask: "A year ago, did you and Uncle Ge travel together, or what special places did you go to together?" ”

Nan Hanfei thought for a while and shook his head, "No, Uncle Ge's life is very regular, he walks birds every morning, plays chess with some friends during the day, and goes to bed on time in the evening. ”

Gu Yanan thought to herself, Uncle Ge's infection time was about a year and a half ago, and Nan Hanfei's infection time was about a year ago, and the place where the two of them lived together was near the Ge family's courtyard, could it be that the source of infection was in the Ge family's courtyard?

But how do other patients get infected?

Gu Yanan decided to ask the other infected patients again, and finally put together all the information, maybe he would find some clues.

After packing up the information recorded at hand, Gu Yanan prepared to leave Nan Hanfei's ward and go to other patients.
