"At present, the medical community has not yet reached a conclusive conclusion on acute 'viral' hemohidrosis, and the more authoritative explanation is that blood or blood 'pigment' is 'mixed' in sweat and excreted by sweat. This may be due to a 'sexual' rupture of a vascular lesion, or a large amount of the 'pigment' lipofuscin secreted by the sweat glands. However, it can also be a complication of other diseases, such as plague, haemophilia, or severe 'spirit' illness. ”

Professor Lu, a blood expert at a hospital, explained hemohidrosis to the two detectives, but his statement was too academic, and Ke Yongliang frowned.

Professor Lu saw that the detective did not fully understand his words, so he changed his expression to a more understandable expression: "In general, hemohidria is a very rare disease. There are only a handful of reports of this disease around the world. I just checked the information, and the most famous one was on January 3, 1980, on the 27th flight of Eastern Airlines, three flight attendants developed hemosweat at almost the same time. ”

"Three of them, too?" Mei Ting said.

"That's right."

"Why do all three people suffer from blood sweating at the same time?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence. But this time the situation is different from that of American airlines. The three flight attendants were on the same plane and could infect each other. But this time, the three patients were diagnosed in different locations in the city, and the three did not know each other. ”

"Although they are different locations, they are very close to each other, and they are all in Jiangbei District, right?" Ke Yongliang asked.

"Yes."

"And the time interval between onset is also very short."

"That's right, these three people were taken to the hospital almost within half an hour."

"How is blood sweating transmitted?"

"Skin-to-skin contact. However, other routes of transmission are not ruled out. Professor Lu said.

Mei Ting pondered for a while and said, "Is it possible that these three people were infected separately after coming into contact with the same person." ”

"There is this possibility of 'sex'. But the question is, if that's the case, the person who infects them must also be suffering from blood sweat - why wasn't this person admitted to the hospital? ”

"Maybe he or she just wasn't admitted to this hospital?"

"No way. After this incident, the city's medical system attached great importance to it, and if there was a hemohidric patient in another hospital, it would be reported immediately. ”

So, could it be that this person deliberately avoided the hospital? Infecting others is also deliberately done by him or her. Ke Yongliang said, "Just like some AIDS patients, after realizing that they are not saved, they use needles to 'draw' their own blood and inject 'shots' to others to take revenge on society." ”

"I know what you mean." "But for people with hyperhidrosis, I'm afraid it's very difficult to do that." First, the face and body of this man must be oozing with blood, and it is difficult not to attract attention when walking down the street with such a horrible image; Second, people with hyperhidria are in a state of massive blood loss, their bodies are weak, and they are close to a coma, and it is almost impossible to support them to walk on the streets. ”

"Can blood sweat be cured?" Mei Ting asked.

Professor Lu shook his head and said, "There is no effective treatment in the world. Some Western countries even believe that the appearance of this disease is a sign of an impending catastrophe, a warning and punishment from God to mankind, and there is no cure. ”

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting 'exchanged' and changed their eyes. They remembered Jesus Christ and the "doomsday sickness."

After a while, Mei Ting asked, "So, how long does it generally take from onset to death?" ”

"Depending on the physique of each person, it may take two or three hours if it is fast, and four or five hours at most if it drags on for a longer time."

"So fast?" Mei Ting said in astonishment.

"Yes, the three flight attendants in the United States that I just mentioned died less than two hours after they were taken to the hospital."

"So these three won't last long?"

"It should be," said Professor Lu regretfully, "there is really nothing we can do." ”

Ke Yongliang said: "These three patients are now in the isolation ward? ”

"Yes."

"I want to see how they're doing."

"Yes, please come with me."

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting followed Professor Lu to a disinfection room, where they changed into isolation gowns, masks and hats, and then went to the isolation ward.

At this moment, the corridor outside the isolation ward is filled with reporters from various media outlets. They held cameras and lined up to photograph the hemohidric patients inside through the glass window at the 'door' of the isolation ward. The expert and two detectives struggled to squeeze through the crowd, opened the two 'doors' of the isolation ward, and entered inside.

The 'female' patient lying on the 'bed' is shocking. Her 'naked' and 'exposed' face and arms were full of blood beads that seeped out like sweat, and she was completely a "bloody person". She had fallen into a coma, but still looked in pain. The sheets were soaked in blood, but the blood and sweat were still pouring out. This situation is really unbearable.

Mei Ting noticed that the hospital did not take any treatment measures. "Even if you can't cure them, you should find a way to relieve their pain or prolong their lives as long as possible," she said. Can't they be given a blood transfusion? ”

"It's not that we don't do it, it's that we've tried it before – if you give them a blood transfusion, it will increase the speed of blood and sweat penetration, which won't help at all," Professor Lu said. ”

"Can you tie their face or body with gauze or something else to keep the blood from coming out?" Ke Yongliang said.

"No, the blood penetrates through the sweat glands all over the body. Block some areas, others will still seep out. But it's impossible to clog the sweat glands all over the body, that will only make them die faster. ”

Perhaps it was because of their conversation that the 'woman' lying on the 'bed' woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she looked as terrible as a vampire. She looked at the three people in the ward in horror and said, "Help me...... Please, save me. ”

Mei Ting turned away sadly. Professor Lu also looked helpless. Ke Yongliang thought for a moment, approached the bed, and asked, "Can you tell me who you had skin-to-skin contact with before you were bleeding and sweating?" ”

The 'woman' said weakly, "My ...... Parents, that's before going out the door. Then at the breakfast shop, I also had contact with the clerk there. Then, a 'girl' asked me to change the change for her to take the bus ......"

Ke Yongliang's eyes lit up: "A 'girl' child? What kind of 'girl' child? ”

"About twenty years old...... His hair was combed back and tied up, and he was dressed in white 'colored' clothes. ”

Mei Ting and Ke Yongliang quickly glanced at each other, thinking that they had found an important clue.

They then went to two other isolation wards and questioned the two patients with blood sweat separately. Sure enough, everyone had been in contact with this 'girl' in white clothes by exchanging change, helping with things, and borrowing a mobile phone - all in skin-to-skin contact.

"There is no doubt that this 'girl' child is the source of infection. She deliberately transmitted blood sweat to the three men. Ke Yongliang concluded.

But how is she not a hemohidric herself? And, why did she go after these strangers? Mei Ting said.

"You'll know if you catch her. This person is quite dangerous, and she must not be allowed to spread this terrible disease. ”

"You think she's someone from Class 13?"

"Definitely."

"But how are we going to arrest her? As long as you come into contact with her, you will be infected with blood sweat. Mei Ting reminded.

"Maybe we should wear this isolation suit to arrest her." Ke Yongliang took out his mobile phone, "In short, first tell Director Nalan about this situation and the characteristics of the 'girl' child, and let the people from the Ministry of State Security find out who she is in Class 13!" ”F
