"Hi, I'm a reporter from Truth Net, and my surname is Han."

Han Xiaodong took out a temporarily printed business card and handed it to the old Ukrainian man in front of him.

The old man didn't move, the young woman beside him took the business card, put it on the side table after a glance, and asked politely: "Hello, I'm Alyosha Sokolov, your colleague I called in the morning, saying that I have something urgent to see my grandpa, what is it?"

Han Xiaodong coughed lightly, looked at the old man, then at Alyosha, hesitated for a moment, took out a photo from his pocket, and handed it to the old man.

The photo shows the broken safety stick, which is a temporary reproduction of the photo provided by K.

Alyosha took the photo and glanced at it. Obviously he didn't see what was going on, so he had to show the photo to the old man.

The old man leaned on the back of the chair without moving his body. He only glanced at the photo out of the corner of his eye, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the muscles on his excited face trembled.

Alyosha quickly put the photo on the table at hand, stroked the old man's chest back and forth, comforting him gently.

"This is..." Only then did Han Xiaodong realize that the reason why the old man hadn't moved was not because of arrogance, but because his body just couldn't move.

Alyosha comforted the old man, and then he said helplessly: "My grandfather had a car accident not long after I was born. Speaking of which, it happened more than 20 years ago. The situation at that time was very serious and he almost lost his life. Later, he was rescued, but there was a problem with the central nervous system, and he suffered a sequelae of hemiplegia, and because of the brain injury, the language function was impaired, and now he can’t speak.”

Han Xiaodong nodded when he heard the words. Although K told him that the name of the file was obtained from this family, the old man in front of him should know some inside information, but he was paralyzed and unable to speak. What's the point of coming by himself?

"I'm really sorry. I don't know about your grandfather's situation. I really disturbed you today." Han Xiaodong expressed regret for the family's experience. At the same time, he felt a little lost. It's a pity that a good clue was cut off like this. .

Since there was nothing left to ask, Han Xiaodong got up to say goodbye, but he didn't expect that when he heard that he was leaving, the old man raised his trembling hands and made an ah-ah sound, as if he was eager to express something.

Both Han Xiaodong and Alyosha were very surprised by the old man's behavior. Alyosha quickly went to comfort the old man, while Han Xiaodong carefully observed the old man's performance. No, his body was extremely stiff, even if he shook, his whole body shook again, as if his whole body was connected by five sticks without any flexibility.

"Why do I feel that something is wrong? The damage to the central nervous system is not muscle stiffness. Why does this old man look so weird?" Han Xiaodong had doubts in his heart, so he had to ask K. Not sure.

"Then why don't you verify it yourself?" K didn't give him a clear answer, but encouraged him to decrypt it himself.

This made Han Xiaodong more convinced that the situation of the old man in front of him is not that simple, but he is not a doctor, so he is not good at things like physical examination.

After pondering for a while, Han Xiaodong took out a low-light mirror, placed it on the bridge of his nose, bent down and squatted in front of the old man, and asked Alyosha, "Does he usually have a physical examination?"

Alyosha was slightly startled, and didn't understand what Han Xiaodong meant, but he still replied casually: "Once a year, although it's inconvenient, but it's a benefit provided by the government, and someone comes to pick him up every year."

"It's always been, never stopped?" This answer surprised Han Xiaodong, government benefits?And take the initiative to pick him up to do it?

In the past 30 years, Ukraine has undergone several major social changes. The previous system has completely collapsed, and now there are still people who take the initiative to take the old man for a medical examination.

Moreover, the amount of time and quantity, the service can be so in place, or he has a high position and authority, or someone cares more about his "health" than himself.

Alyosha nodded: "Very punctual. My grandfather used to be a nuclear physicist and made great contributions to the country, so he still enjoys government benefits."

Great contribution?Han Xiaodong sneered in his heart. Even in the Soviet era, the word contribution could change at any time. A hero today may be a sinner of the country tomorrow.

What's more, the Soviet Union has already disintegrated, and many large arsenals in the former Soviet Union can't survive and go bankrupt. Who can control a paralyzed nuclear physicist?
This is like a minister at the end of the Ming Dynasty who was ill in bed. When the Qing Dynasty ruled, who would care about your life and death. It would be really strange to say that there is no trick in it.

Without asking any more questions, Han Xiaodong began to use the low-light mirror to examine the old man's body layer by layer. The low-light mirror is clearer than the [-]D color Doppler ultrasound. After scanning for less than half a minute, he found more than ten strange metals on the old man's body. smaller.

"You said that your grandfather had undergone surgery, did you put anything into his body at that time? Such as brackets or steel nails?" Han Xiaodong looked at those strange little dots, and couldn't help asking, these little dots are all Metal emits weak radiation. He is not a doctor, so he can't see what it is for.

Alyosha thought for a while and nodded: "There was a serious fracture at the time, and some fixation devices were implanted, and most of them were removed later. I don't know if there are any left."

Han Xiaodong rubbed his chin and gave a hum. Although he is not a doctor, he can still see through the low-light mirror that these small spots in front of him are not fixed devices.

Moreover, they were all over the old man's body, and they were buried in very strange places, neither on the bones nor on the muscles, but on...

Han Xiaodong suddenly understood something, quickly zoomed in on the image in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The location of these small dots seems inconspicuous, but in fact they overlap with important nerve nodes in the human body.

The size of each dot is only the size of a mung bean, but it is not difficult to see its details after zooming in with a microscopic lens. The structure of these metal nodes is actually very complicated, like a clip, controlling the nodes of the nerve.

Han Xiaodong let out a long breath, took off his glasses and held the old man's hand. At this time, although the old man calmed down, his body was still trembling slightly, obviously not completely relieved from the excitement just now.

The eyes of the two met, and Han Xiaodong felt that the old man seemed to have a lot to say. The photo just now seemed to stimulate his memory. He wanted to say it, but he couldn't.

"We need an operation." Han Xiaodong stood up suddenly, and said to the surprised Alyosha, "To save your grandfather."
