Chapter 3 Black Spot Disease

Looking through the window, the furnishings in Room 320 are displayed in front of the visitor, and under the reflection of the silver on the table, there is a corpse covered in white cloth sheets.

"Mr. Sheriff, you're finally here. The doctor in a white coat faced Gu Zeyi, who had just pushed the door open.

"This is the fourth case of death from black spot infection in a week, what do you think about that?"

"I, Yu Caiyi, am a well-known doctor on the island, and I am responsible for my words and deeds, and if the results of the research of the virus are made public, I am afraid it will cause panic. ”

"Oh! What do you mean by that?" A middle-aged man in a yellow-collared white priest's robe came behind Gu Zeyi and touched the rope that tied the mask.

"Back to the high priest of Mo Ran, since the outbreak of black spot disease, in the process of studying this new virus, a strange phenomenon has been discovered. She Caiyi coughed and continued, "There are no cases of black spot disease in other places on the Vulcan Islands except for the island, which originates from a species endemic to the island, the mink, which originally carried a virus that does not harm humans, but long-term human activities have changed their living habits and began to feed on the household garbage discarded by humans, resulting in the pathogen in their bodies being able to transmit to humans." ”

"This is the reason for the first outbreak of black spot disease in the island, but since then, our country has strictly banned the sale, export or consumption of mink in any form, and the source of infection of the virus has been basically cut off, so how can there be another epidemic?"

Gu Zeyi answered for Mo Ran: "Could it be that this virus has mutated?"

In order to answer Gu Zeyi's doubts, Yu Caiyi lifted the cloth sheet wrapped in the corpse on the ground, revealing the hideous face of a male corpse, he pointed to a small pinch of white liquid at the nostrils of the male corpse, and turned to the crowd: "At the beginning of the infection, there will be headaches, fever, and itchy skin, and then black spots begin to appear on the skin, and finally seven holes bleed to death. Unlike in the past, this person exhibited symptoms similar to wind and cold, as evidenced by what I was referring to. ”

"The research results in the laboratory in the past few days have confirmed my assumption. Yu Caiyi frowned and raised his voice, "The way the virus spreads has changed, it used to be transmitted through contact and bodily fluids, and this time the black spot disease is likely to be transmitted through the air, so the specific medicine used to cure this disease will no longer work." ”

Mo Ran touched his chin and put his hand on Yu Caiyi's shoulder: "So what are you going to do?"

She clenched her hands: "This is a crisis that we have never had in the history of the island, and I must develop a new treatment as soon as possible before the black spot disease spreads throughout the city." ”

"I have a solution, but it will cost a lot of money, and you will definitely object to it. ”

"What way?" Gu Zeyi and Yu Caiyi said in unison.

"Locking down the entire West Block, killing all the people who may or have contracted the disease, and then disinfecting the air in all directions, will prevent the disease from ravaging the city. ”

When Gu Zeyi saw Mo Ran's cold smile, he couldn't help but scold: "How can you, as the high priest of Qidao, treat the lives of the people as grass mustard and do such a cruel act, I will never agree." ”

She Caiyi on the side also echoed: "Yes, we can only take such measures when the epidemic is uncontrollable, and I firmly believe that new drugs will be developed through hard work." ”

The two of them did not shake Mo Ran's heart, he wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, he wanted to use disdain and was afraid to reveal his true intentions, after all, he just wanted to test their reaction, and the result was expected.

"Just kidding, why should you take it seriously? Am I going to be that ruthless? I'm just worried that one person's short-sightedness will affect the interests of others. ”

Seeing that the two were speechless, Mo Ran smiled and waved away, and just took a look at the shaved eagles passing by in the corridor.

The shaved eagle staring at Mo Ran's back fell into deep thought, and various conjectures came to mind.

Mo Ran must have been instructed by the patriarch to appear here, otherwise he has no right to meddle in this matter, so the question is, is what he said just now the patriarch or himself? If it is the patriarch, this move will be opposed by the whole people, I believe that Shen Yunzhao will not make such a stupid mistake, but if it is him, it means that this person is extremely ambitious and cannot be regarded as a simple joke.

But this world is so big, who will not have a little selfishness, just like Gu Zeyi, who is greedy for credit, no matter how much contribution his subordinates make, he first emphasizes that he has achieved the achievements by relying on his own wise leadership.

If he can replace him, he will definitely reward him for his deeds and abolish this humiliating system. But before that, he had to do his job well and analyze the case for Gu Zeyi.

So he took out a pen from his chest pocket and recorded what Gu Zeyi said next in the notebook word for word.

"Apartment No. 320 Halber Road West Street, the deceased is a middle-aged male, is the upstairs resident of the death case two days ago, after forensic identification, the cause of death is the same as a family of four in apartment No. 202, that is, infectious patchy skin syndrome - black spot disease, and has now confirmed to the relatives of the deceased that his identity is a bank clerk living in Halber Road, a week ago he suddenly felt unwell and asked for leave to rest with the unit, and then his condition deteriorated, and died at 2 o'clock in the morning on the 25th of this month. ”

"There are ......" Seeing that Sha Yu closed the notebook, Gu Zeyi continued, "Notify the higher authorities as soon as possible to send additional police forces to maintain order on West Street, and convey the news that the epidemic is controllable to the people of West Street, so as to alleviate panic and avoid further expansion of the riot." ”

"As for the First Hospital of Glaze Island, I also asked the president to send as many medical staff as possible in the epidemic area. In case of difficulties, we at the Kodo Police Station are ready to help with all our might. ”

"Those who have been in contact with the patient before their death have been quarantined by us and need to be observed for a few more days, otherwise we cannot draw conclusions. Yu Caiyi shook Gu Zeyi's outstretched hand, "Now the whole apartment has not been sterilized and disinfected, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go out and talk about it." ”

The two followed Yu Caiyi's advice and followed him downstairs.

"Mr. Dean, with all due respect, what are you going to do with the sick and dead?" asked the shaved duck as he saw two or three nurses go upstairs to carry the corpses.

Yu Caiyi thought for a while and said, "Of course, it is up to their families to decide, and what the hospital can do is very limited. ”

"But there's one guy who doesn't agree with you, and he's been following us here just to meet you and talk about what he thinks. ”

The person he was referring to was Shen Tong'an, who had just entered West Street, and at this time, the man was standing in front of the sentry post and talking with the guards on duty for nearly thirty minutes before he heard the sound of belated footsteps not far away.

"The efficiency of the police station is really poor, I asked you to find someone, it took so long. Shen Tongan turned his head and stretched out his hand to pull down the mask, revealing an impatient smile.

"We have official business, so we don't have so much time to take care of you, and now that the person you are looking for has come, don't complain so much. Shaved Eagle took off the police hat on his head and snorted coldly, "Otherwise, I'll let the dean leave now." ”

"In front of Shen Gongzi, please pay attention to your attitude, shaving the eagle. Gu Zeyi scolded, turned to Yu Caiyi and said, "We still have important things to do, so I won't accompany you." ”

"If you don't want to get black spots, just put on my mask quickly. She Caiyi and Shen Tongan looked at each other.

The other party's face reminded Yu Caiyi of more than 30 years ago, when he was known as the miracle doctor of Qidao, as if there was no disease in the world that he couldn't cure, until the appearance of tongue disease.

People suffering from this disease manifest as qi deficiency and blood stasis, dizziness, tinnitus, speech difficulties, and even gradual loss of the ability to speak.

He searched through medical books and searched the world but could not find a cure for this disease, and his reputation was questioned, and he was even expelled from the island for a time.

The point is that he gave up, not that he lacked the ability to seize the opportunity, but he didn't expect the truth to be hidden in the most obvious place, making the time he spent on the continent of Leah meaningless. The herb that cures the tongue is actually produced in the island, a herb that condenses water droplets on the leaves for a long time.

The woman named this grass Snow Bead Grass, and at the same time cured the disease of tongue stumbling, she also discovered the curative effect of this grass on some other incurable diseases. Her contribution to the people was admired by all the people, and the patriarch, who had just recovered from a serious illness, even married her to his son.

Everything made him crazy with jealousy, why would an ordinary woman whose medical skills were far inferior to his achieve such an enviable achievement because of luck.

What's even more infuriating is that this woman also continued this achievement, and in the next few years, she made a lot of money by planting snowdrop grass as the pillar industry of Qidao, but she didn't want to leave any share to the First Hospital of Qidao.

Since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust. Although this hateful woman had died of black spot disease a few years earlier, her son was still running the coveted snowdrop trade.

Putting aside the fact that he was acquainted with Shen Tongan's mother, he decided to listen to what the other party had to say first, and then it would be much easier to talk about the conditions.

"I'm here to tell you that those who die of black spot disease must be cremated, not simply buried. Shen Tongan put back his mask and said with a serious expression, "In the past, it was because of our family's unbearable heart that led to the tragedy on the island." ”

"That's reasonable, but why should I believe you?" Yu Caiyi was slightly stunned, "Just because your mother Youfei was the first person to die of black spot disease, can you ignore the feelings of those bereaved family members?"

Shen Tongan bowed his hand and pleaded: "I will never delay the opportunity to stop the spread of the epidemic because of emotion, and I hope that the dean will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Decision?" Yu Caiyi tried to restrain himself from laughing, "The most wrong decision I've ever made in my life is to mishear your mother's words and go to sea to find a cure for the tongue disease." This time, your Shen family wants me to make a decision, what to do to ensure that you are not deceived by you, you had better know in your heart. ”

"I can't imagine that after so many years, you're still haunted by that. Shen Tongan let go of his hands on the railing, and reluctantly retreated, "Forget it, we will do what you ask." ”

"Half of the Shen family's snow bead grass trade must be provided by our Qidao No. 1 Hospital, and 40% of the profits from the export go to the hospital. She Caiyi touched his beard and smiled, "I don't want much, only in this way can our hospital have enough money to provide cremation conditions for the deceased with black spot disease." ”

"As soon as it's settled, I'll go back and discuss with my father, and you'd better not play any tricks. ”

After speaking, Shen Tongan turned around and left West Street, not giving the other party extra time to change his mind.
