"You are from the East India Company? Do you have a sick crew member who once stayed in the inn?"

Xiao Xiuer and Nightingale tracked down the East India Company, and the crew members of the East India Company also found the Tianjin Security Office.

"Yes, we had a companion who had a diarrhea on the boat before we arrived in Tianjin Wei. We quickly sent him ashore. He died in just one day. Although we felt a little strange at the time, we thought he had just eaten the wrong thing. Our crew lacked fresh food on the sea, and it was normal for us to eat rotten food in the warehouse. We didn't take it seriously, just thought he was suffering from an emergency."

"It was not until the martial law in the city was strictly prohibited from entering and leaving, and many people suffered from strange diseases that were exactly the same as our dead companions before that we realized something was wrong. We were afraid of being scolded by the government and never dared to tell the truth, but many of our crew members died later. I was afraid that this was an unknown thing behind the scenes, so I had to come to the government to inform the matter."

The captain of the East India Company merchant ship was almost crying, and he was also collapsed by the plague. Many of his crew members were sick one after another, and half of the sick died.

Hiss-Xiao Xiu'er gasped. After hearing the captain's words, she could be completely sure that the plague came from outside the ocean, and an unprecedented bacteria was accidentally brought back to the local area by the sailors, triggering this catastrophe.

Most of the local plague types are smallpox, influenza, and plague, and plague have rarely been seen with this symptom.

"Where are you back from the Indian Peninsula? Where did you stop in the middle?" Xiao Xiuer asked with pen and paper.

"We returned to the local area from Kolkata Castle. Before returning to the local area, we went to some towns in the lower reaches of the Ganges Plain and searched for suitable jute cultivation sites so that we could buy jute locally in the future or buy these lands directly to grow jute ourselves. The demand for jute is still very high... When we returned, we stopped at the ports such as Malacca, Hoi An Port, Guangzhou Prefecture, and Ningbo Prefecture to replenish fresh fruits and vegetables to prevent scurvy. However, there were no symptoms of plague at that time. Who would have thought that there would be nothing wrong before, and it would not suddenly break out until we arrived in Tianjin Wei." The captain recalled his itinerary.

“Kolkata, Malacca, Hoi An Port, Guangzhou Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture.”

Xiao Xiu'er can almost rule out the suspicion of Guangzhou Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture. If Guangzhou Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture have this kind of vibrio survival, then there should be many records similar to the outbreak of the plague in such a long history.

The ruling period of Malacca, Hoi An Port, Kolkata, and Kyushu Army ruled them for a short time and were not clear about the epidemic history of these places. I have not heard of the plague outbreak in the above places during this short period of rule. It is very likely that the plague was in the incubation period of the plague, and it is not that there is no Vibrio in these places.

The plague comes from overseas, and this matter is very important. If the plague breaks out in an overseas stronghold, not only will the overseas stronghold encounter a catastrophe, but it may spread to all parts of the world with the Maritime Silk Road!

"We have limited understanding of overseas epidemics, and the most urgent task is to eliminate the vibrio in the city first. We need to start a more detailed investigation. It is obvious that the source of the disease comes from the ship, and we need to inspect all the items on the ship, especially the personal belongings of the dead sailors, which may carry Vibrio. Captain, please cooperate with our inspection." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"Girl, are you saying there may be something on his relics that causes plague?!" The captain and other surviving crew members felt numb after hearing this.

They have touched those relics with their own hands!

"It is very likely that everyone should wear gloves and touch these items. But since you are not doing anything yet, it means you are not infected, or you are infected, but the stomach acid has killed all the Vibrio." Xiao Xiuer said.

The captain and crew couldn't understand what Xiao Xiu'er said. If they were infected, why would they have nothing to do now? What's the stomach acid?

Xiao Xiuer and Nightingale took people to collect all the relics of the first sick sailor, but there were not many items, and they were all taken back to the camp of the investigation team next to the plague area for research.

"Princess Sofia, is Professor Koch here? We have a batch of things that we need to ask him to help check to see if these things also carry Vibrio."

Xiao Xiu'er came to the camp of the Biological Institute group and came straight to find Koch, who had a deep understanding of the field of bacteriology, but found that only Sofia and a few other students were still working.

"He couldn't stand the high-intensity work, so he went down to rest for the time being. If you have any new discoveries, maybe I can help." Princess Sophia closed her eyes and rested for a while after returning from Chu Yun, then changed to her mentor.

She is trying to imitate the environment of Vibrio in the stomach and intestines to find out how Vibrio is uncomfortable.

Xiao Xiu'er's arrival made her stop the work at hand.

"We found the first patient, a sailor who returned from the Indian Peninsula. We suspected that he inadvertently brought this deadly Vibrio back from the ocean. So we collected all his relics. As long as we found something that carried Vibrio, things would be easy." Xiao Xiu'er put a bunch of strange personal belongings on the wooden table.

Princess Sophia's eyes shone, and she found the first person carrying the pathogen, one step closer to solving the mystery of this mysterious Vibrio.

"Let me check carefully what item is carrying Vibrio... Sister Xiao, I met Mr. Chu. He was very concerned about the progress of our research. When I came back, I bought a few apples, which were all washed. Do you want one? At this time, you still have to eat a fresh fruit to keep your spirits." Princess Sophia bit an apple and handed one to Xiao Xiuer.

Xiao Xiu'er thought that she seemed to have eaten yet, so she took the apple.

"Sister, you haven't been sleeping with your eyes closed, right? You should pay attention to rest. Mr. Chu is right. Our investigation team should rest in shifts, otherwise our bodies will collapse before the plague has been settled, which is not conducive to investigation. To completely eliminate this plague, it is impossible without ten days and half a month. No one can stay in the eyes for ten days and half a month." Sophia said to Xiao Xiuer while counting the items.
