The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 38 The First Clue, the Rooftop of the Medical School

Su Chenjin had no intention of chasing the mysterious man who disappeared into the night. His keychain was left at the scene, like an invisible clue, leading him to return again.

She turned around and carefully sent the unconscious Juanzi to the hospital.

As night falls, the city's neon lights flicker in the rain, an ambulance speeds through the congested streets, the lights inside the car are pale and cold, and the wind and clouds whiz by outside the window.

After three hours of intensive rescue, Juanzi's eyelids finally trembled slightly and slowly opened.

The moment she woke up, Su Chenjin felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

She was not in a hurry to leave, but chose to stay by the bedside, letting Juanzi feel the warmth and companionship at this fragile moment.

Juanzi's voice was hoarse and she said with difficulty, "I saw my old man again in my dream. He was smiling as always and as warm as before. I often imagine, if my husband were still alive, what would our family be like? Would we have children, surrounded by them, laughing and talking happily?"

Su Chenjin's hands gently held Juanzi's slender and soft hands. The slightly cool touch from his palms pierced his heart in a short moment.

It was a kind of fragility like the fallen leaves dancing in the wind on the lake in autumn, or like a waning moon in a winter night. Although it was cold, it revealed a heartbreaking tenacity.

Su Chenjin looked at her deeply, his eyes full of concern and confusion, "Aunt, why don't you remarry?"

Juanzi turned her head slightly to avoid her inquiring gaze, and said with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "I can't."

Her voice was so soft as if she was afraid to disturb the tranquility of the night, yet it also seemed like a firmness that had echoed a thousand times in the depths of her heart.

Su Chenjin was slightly stunned, as if he did not immediately understand the deeper meaning behind Juanzi's words.

She gently tucked the quilt for Juanzi. But Juanzi's eyes had drifted to the distance, which was filled with endless emptiness and loneliness, as if it was a dream that could never be reached.

Su Chenjin picked up an exquisite keychain in his hand. It was small and unique, inlaid with a small blue gem, which seemed to reflect endless affection.

She said to Juanzi, "I just found a keychain in your lounge. It looks very important."

Juanzi sat on a chair beside the bed, her eyes blurred, as if she was immersed in some deep thoughts.

She stretched out her hand, her fingers slender and pale, and gently grasped the keychain.

Juanzi's fingers slid across the keychain, her eyes paused for a second, and in an instant, she felt a dull pain in her heart, as if she was searching for some memory, and then she whispered, "I don't know who it belongs to!"

When Juanzi said this, she lowered her head even more, as if she was avoiding some sensitive things and was unwilling to face them.

Her long hair fell on her shoulders, and her shoulders trembled slightly, shaking with her mood.

Su Chenjin looked at her, her heart full of sympathy and regret. She did not force Juanzi, but gently took the key chain back from her hand.

"Auntie, I've been sleeping with you these days. If you're sad or have something to do, you can come to me directly." Su Chenjin's voice was gentle but firm. "I will take care of you, no matter what happens."

Juanzi raised her head and looked at Su Chenjin, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Her lips moved slightly, as if thousands of words came to her mind, but were eventually swallowed back.

Juanzi took a deep breath, and then spoke softly: "Thank you, Xiaojin!"

Su Chenjin looked at her and nodded, "Well, I'll sleep in the next bed. Call me if you need anything."

Su Chenjin went to bed at 1 a.m., and the darkness of the night and the softness of the moonlight intertwined to create a peaceful background for his dreams. However, when the clock struck 3 a.m., the tranquility was broken by a slight noise.

Juanzi, a woman who usually has a regular schedule, suddenly sat up from the bed, as if she was driven by an irresistible force.

Su Chenjin was awakened by the sudden noise. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Juanzi who was sitting beside the bed with a look of concern on her face. "Auntie, why did you get up?"

Juanzi's face looked particularly pale in the faint moonlight, and her eyes seemed to hide an unfathomable secret.

She looked at Su Chenjin, her voice trembling: "Xiaojin, I always feel that my husband is coming to find me! I always feel that he is not dead!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in Su Chenjin's ears, and alarm bells rang in her heart.

She knew very well that the "uncle" Juanzi mentioned had passed away for many years, but Juanzi's longing and guilt for him had never diminished.

But now, Juanzi's words made her feel an inexplicable fear.

"Aunt, have you seen 'Uncle' recently? Except in dreams!" There was a hint of nervousness in Su Chenjin's voice. Her eyes were fixed on Juanzi, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Juanzi looked at him, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in her eyes.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end all she said was a sigh: "I..." Her words were interrupted here, and the rest of the words seemed to be carried away by the wind and disappeared into the air.

Su Chenjin sat beside his aunt's bed, feeling calm and composed.

She knew very well that dreams can often reveal a person's deepest fears and desires, so she wanted to find out the root cause of Juanzi's nightmare by analyzing her dreams.

"Aunt, do you have something to hide?"

Juanzi frowned slightly. She was also troubled by this question in her dream.

She shook her head slightly, her voice trembling a little: "No, it's just a nightmare, I'll be fine after a rest."

Su Chenjin noticed that Juanzi's fingers were tightly grasping the bed sheets. Was she also escaping from some terrible existence in her dream just now?

She was moved, but in this small ward, there was no one else except her aunt and herself.

Su Chenjin recalled Juanzi's circle of friends and found that her aunt did not seem to have much contact with other people except her fellow villager Chen Lin. Chen Lin was not in the ward at the moment, which made Su Chenjin more certain that Juanzi's nightmare had nothing to do with her social relationships.

As a last resort, we must arrange for Mr. Ken (dream master) to find more clues from my aunt's dream.

Su Chenjin made up his mind and decided to take action tomorrow.

She gently held Juanzi's hand and comforted her softly, "Auntie, don't be afraid. I'm here with you, and we will face your predicament together."

Juanzi opened her eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise and gratitude in her eyes.

She looked at Su Chenjin's determined eyes, and the fear in her heart seemed to be alleviated a little.

Juanzi took a deep breath and mustered up her courage, but when the words came to her lips, she finally let out a sigh of comfort...

For Juanzi, the truth seems to be more important than her life.

Su Chenjin felt that it had something to do with her husband, and this might be the key to the whole incident.

Since she couldn't force Juanzi to tell the truth, she could only respect her choice.

Su Chenjin carefully helped Juanzi lie down again. Although her movements were gentle, they could not hide her inner anxiety.

Juanzi's eyes, which used to be deep, now looked empty and confused, as if they were carrying countless unsolved mysteries.

Su Chenjin gently held the quilt, turned sideways, and looked at Juanzi silently.

This seemingly weak woman carries with her heart worries that are like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to see its true depth.

Su Chenjin couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If Juanzi was willing to open her heart, she could get rid of those heavy burdens and suffer less. However, Juanzi always kept silent about the inside story, hiding all the pain and confusion deep in her heart.

"Xiao Jin, are you asleep?" Juanzi's voice broke the silence, with a hint of trembling and anticipation.

"Auntie, I'm here!" Su Chenjin responded quickly, trying to give Juanzi some comfort with his voice.

"Hey, Xiaojin, can I have some sweet porridge when it gets light? When my old man was alive, he would make sweet porridge for me every time he was sick!" Juanzi's voice became lower and lower, as if she was trapped in distant memories.

"Okay, auntie, no problem!" Su Chenjin answered sincerely.

At half past six in the morning, the sky was slightly brighter, but the morning mist had not yet completely dissipated.

Juanzi sat at the dining table with a bowl of steaming sweet porridge in front of her, exuding a faint fragrance.

She picked up the spoon and tasted it in small sips. The taste of the sweet porridge spread on the tip of her tongue, bringing a hint of warmth.

After drinking the sweet porridge, Juanzi felt a little sleepy, so she went back to bed and prepared to sleep for a while.

In the school hospital, there are usually two doctors on duty who take turns.

Juanzi took a leave today, which means that another doctor needs to end his rest early and come to work.

The doctor is nearly fifty-three years old, his hair is slightly gray, and his face shows the traces of time.

Juanzi and the doctor were not close, but they had never had any conflicts.

Both of them understood each other's job responsibilities and respected each other. However, this morning, when Juanzi asked her for leave, the doctor showed obvious dissatisfaction.

"Juanzi, I'm about to retire. You have to be the mainstay. Don't tire me out!" There was a hint of helplessness and blame in her words. Juanzi felt a little wronged, but she couldn't refute it.

She nodded silently, wanting to cry but without tears. After Su Chenjin took care of her until she fell asleep, he left.

At the school gate, Su Chenjin unexpectedly saw the student union president Xu Tian. He was standing not far away, talking to a mysterious man in a dark coat. The man had a gloomy look on his face. This man was the owner of the dark room next to the school hospital.

Su Chenjin's curiosity was aroused, and she decided to follow the two of them to see where they were going.

She followed them carefully, keeping a certain distance, for fear of being discovered.

They walked through the tree-lined paths of the campus and finally arrived in front of the medical school building.

Xu Tian walked into the building side by side with the man, and Su Chenjin followed closely behind and went up to the rooftop of the medical school building.

However, when she looked around, she found that the two people she had been following had disappeared.

She was sure that she had not been discovered, and she couldn't help but wonder: where had they gone?

Su Chenjin stood on the rooftop, waiting quietly.

Ten minutes later, she finally saw Xu Tian and the man.

They walked down the stairs from the roof, walking hurriedly as if they were looking for something.

Su Chenjin did not follow them, but began to carefully look around the rooftop. She found a pile of cigarette butts in the corner of the rooftop, which were obviously left by the two people just now.

She approached the pile of cigarette butts and squatted down to examine them carefully. The cigarette butts had been extinguished, but they still exuded a faint smell of tobacco.

Judging from the number of cigarette butts, this is the secret meeting place of the two.

Su Chenjin felt that he had touched upon some unknown secret.

She stood up and took a deep breath of fresh air.

At this moment, Su Chenjin thought of Gu Xinliang.

The moment he stepped into the director's office of the medical school, Su Chenjin was deeply attracted by the scene before him, as if he had traveled through time and space and stepped into a hall where ancient medical skills and new medical knowledge were blended together.

The air in the room is filled with the faint scent of ink and ancient herbs, which makes people hold their breath and concentrate.

Gu Xinliang sat alone in front of the large desk, his figure looking particularly quiet in the soft sunlight.

The surrounding area is filled with various medical documents and experimental reports, from classical Chinese medicine texts to cutting-edge biotechnology papers, all of which demonstrate the profoundness of medicine.

There are also various animal and plant specimens on the table, which quietly tell the mysteries of nature.

Gu Xinliang was concentrating on a medical academic program. His eyes revealed a kind of depth and concentration, as if he was exploring the mystery of human life.

Outside the office window, sunlight shines through the tall oak trees and onto the bluestone path, creating mottled light and shadows.

The breeze blows, and the leaves rustle. Jiangda University is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It covers an area of ​​300 acres in the suburbs. It is a pure land away from the hustle and bustle.

Su Chenjin walked into Gu Xinliang's office, his eyes lifted from the documents and fell on her.

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Xinliang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Is there any progress in your aunt's case?" Gu Xinliang's voice was deep and powerful, as if every word carried power. He saw the key.

Su Chenjin nodded and did not hide anything. The tacit understanding between her and Gu Xinliang allowed Su Chenjin to tell him everything she wanted to say. "I need to find my brother Su Jin. It has something to do with my aunt's husband!"

Gu Xinliang frowned slightly, "A dead person can't get anything done!"

Su Chenjin took a deep breath, "There is no evidence now!"

Gu Xinliang was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "You mean, your aunt's husband is still alive!"

Su Chenjin took out a sealed plastic bag, inside of which was a gray, old cigarette butt.

This cigarette butt found in the corner of the rooftop of the medical school looks a little worn out by time, with a hint of burnt yellow remaining on the mouthpiece, which shows that the person who smoked the cigarette must have been anxious at the time.

This brand of cigarettes was not unfamiliar to her, as it was a brand from Su Chenjin's hometown.

This kind of customized cigarettes are not available in big cities.

If people who smoke this cigarette get used to the taste, it will be difficult to quit.

Su Chenjin believed that this person would frequently travel between Sujiazhuang and Jiangcheng where Jiang Da was located.

If they were from Sujiazhuang, then the problem would be much simpler.

She told Gu Xinliang about her discovery.

After hearing this, Gu Xinliang's eyes flashed with deep thought.

He looked out the window. The black house eroded by time stood quietly in a corner of the campus, as if telling an unknown story.

He spoke slowly, "The man in the dark room next to the school hospital is from Sujiazhuang. He has lived there for many years. Although his position in the school cannot be found, whenever the student union needs props for an activity, it is always right to find him."

He paused, turned his gaze to Su Chenjin, and asked with a smile: "So, what is the basis for your belief that your uncle is still alive?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his voice, as if he was waiting for Su Chenjin to show her brilliant thinking.

Su Chenjin put down the clue she had found, her eyes flashing with determination. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "If it wasn't about my uncle, my aunt wouldn't have to keep her mouth shut. Her silence and her persistence are proof."

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing the silent sky, breaking the shackles of time, penetrating the foggy river of history, and reaching the corner forgotten by the world.

Every word and every syllable is like a bright star, shining with endless power, illuminating every corner of the long-sealed darkness.

Gu Xinliang's laughter echoed in the empty room, like rolling thunder, shaking people's hearts.

"Such speculation is also tenable!" His voice was like a boulder falling to the ground, firm and powerful. "But don't forget that your aunt is now deeply affected by nightmares and her health is threatened! Doesn't she know this herself? Unless..."

His voice gradually became lower and lower, like an undercurrent in the deep sea, full of mystery and unknown.

He and Su Chenjin looked at each other, with the same light flashing in their eyes, as if they had both seen through the big hidden secret.

"Aunt's husband cannot show up!" Their voices were like thunder, deafening.

This sentence was like a flash of lightning, breaking through the silent sky, making people's heart beat faster and their breathing quicken. Gu Xinliang stood up, and his figure looked tall and majestic under the light.

He walked to the lounge, poured a cup of hot water for Su Chenjin, and handed it to Su Chenjin, "Newly arrived black tea, come and try it!"

Su Chenjin took the cup, and the warm feeling coming from the palm of her hand dispelled the coldness in her heart.

She took a sip gently, and the aroma of the black tea spread in her mouth, like spring flowers, making her feel relaxed and happy.

Su Chenjin looked up at Gu Xinliang, his eyes full of determination and expectation. In the coming days, they will uncover the secret of that forgotten corner together.

Realizing this, Su Chenjin was in a good mood. Meeting Gu Xinliang at Jiangda was an unexpected gain for her.

Su Chenjin looked up, glanced secretly at Gu Xinliang, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This was the first time she tasted black tea. In Xinhua Country, 67% of tea lovers still prefer green tea, and Su Chenjin's daily drink is coarse tea.

Every bite was intensely bitter.

She has also gotten used to the taste of this tea. This Yunwu Mountain Tea, which grows on Genting Mountain, is a local specialty of Sujiazhuang.

However, when she tasted the wild black tea brewed by Gu Xinliang for the first time, her world seemed to be turned upside down.

The mellow flavor of the black tea is like a clear spring flowing in an ancient forest, sweet and deep, like a gift from the earth, full of the vitality of life.

"It's delicious!" she exclaimed. Her voice echoed in the quiet office and as a foodie, she was delighted.

Gu Xinliang smiled and nodded, his deep eyes flashing with recognition, "If you like to drink it, then take a can back and savor it slowly."

Su Chenjin raised his head in surprise, his clear eyes flashing with anticipation.

However, she quickly remembered that she had specially brought three kilograms of coarse tea from her hometown when she went to school this time.

Although the coarse tea is not good-looking, it carries the memories and taste of my hometown.

So, she smiled and shook her head, and said softly: "You're welcome. I have brought tea to school. This is the taste of my hometown, and I like it very much."

Gu Xinliang looked at her and responded with a smile: "Then when you have made the tea, you must invite me to taste it together."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the smile gradually bloomed like the warm spring sun.

During this brief exchange, the distance between them seemed to have shortened a lot.

After a moment, Gu Xinliang learned in detail about the situation Su Chenjin had encountered.

He frowned slightly and felt it necessary to contact Su Jin.

He knew that Su Jin had more contact with Juanzi's family, and perhaps he could provide more useful information.

Gu Xinliang picked up the slightly old telephone on the desk without hesitation, slid his finger lightly across the dial, and dialed Su Jin's number.

He turned to Su Chenjin and said, "It's convenient to call, ask your brother clearly on the phone, otherwise your aunt won't say a word, and this matter will always be a problem in her heart!"

The phone rang on the other end, and soon, Su Chenjin heard Su Jin's familiar and warm voice: "Hello, is this Xiaojin?"

Su Chenjin felt a sense of intimacy in her heart, and she replied softly, "Brother, it's me. How have you been lately?"

Su Jin on the other end of the phone smiled, her voice revealing a kind of doting: "Girl, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Did you miss me? Is your sister-in-law okay? Don't worry, brother. By the way, have you arrived at school? This call is from Lao Gu, right?"

Gu Xinliang was listening at the side and was stunned. He didn't expect Su Jin to call him like this. The name "Old Gu" made him laugh.
Hearing his brother's voice, Su Chenjin laughed cheerfully on the other end of the phone, with a hint of mischief: "Sister-in-law is fine. I just arrived at school two days ago. Sister-in-law is taking good care of Tianyi and mother at home. Ruyi is also very well-behaved and obedient. Brother, you don't have to worry."

Su Jin on the other end of the phone said in a gentle and steady voice: "Okay, okay, Xiao Jin, you called me suddenly, is there something wrong?"

Su Chenjin's voice revealed a trace of concern: "Brother, I saw my aunt, but she doesn't seem to be in good health recently. Can you tell me about her husband, the uncle?"

Su Jin was silent for a moment, as if recalling the past: "Actually, I don't know much. My aunt and her husband came to Jiangda together. That uncle was a staff member of the school. I don't know how he died later. I only know that my aunt has been a widow for seven years. During these seven years, she silently endured the pain of losing her husband and had to take care of the family at the same time. It was really not easy."

"Brother, do you still remember the nightmare that Auntie once mentioned?" There was a barely perceptible nervousness in her words.

Su Jin raised his head, his deep eyes flashing sharp light in the dimness.

His voice was low and firm, as if every word was carefully considered. "Did something happen again?"

Su Chenjin sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "Yes, brother. I found some hallucinogenic plants in the infirmary, and..." She paused, as if organizing her words, "There is also a suspect's keychain, and a cigarette butt of a mysterious person."

Her words hung in the air like a complex, bizarre mystery waiting to be solved.

Su Jin's brows were furrowed, and his eyes became deeper.

He knew that there must be unknown secrets hidden behind these seemingly insignificant clues.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, making a crisp and rhythmic sound, as if he was thinking about how to connect these clues.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Of course, you found out right after I arrived at school. Psychedelic plants are not something you can get casually now, they are strictly controlled. Those who can get them must have a background. I thought about it carefully and it seems that there is only one person in your aunt's circle of friends who has this privilege, and that is your uncle's sister, Chen Meijia, right?"

He paused, as if recalling every detail about Chen Meijia, "But that girl is already married now, and is living a stable life in Sujia Village with her husband and children."

Su Chenjin told Su Jin in detail about the bizarre events that happened in Juanzi's home, without missing a single detail.

After listening to this, Su Jin closed his eyes slightly, as if he was reconstructing the entire context of the incident in his mind.

After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice full of calmness and wisdom: "Chen Jin, the situation you mentioned is indeed worth pondering. The mysterious suspect was able to enter Juanzi's house so easily, and even left the key chain without your aunt noticing, which shows that the relationship between them is definitely not ordinary. I agree with your point of view, there must be some unknown connection between this suspect and your aunt."

He paused and continued his analysis: "However, it is indeed insufficient evidence to identify the suspect based on just a keychain. We need to dig up more clues, especially to figure out the connection between the keychain, the hallucinogenic plant, and the suspect. Only in this way can we gradually get closer to the truth."

She listened to Su Jin's analysis, her eyes sparkling with wisdom, "Aunt kept it a secret from me, but I have found a breakthrough! Brother, just tell me everything you know! Tell me what you think about this case"

Su Jin's eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. He spoke slowly, "The mysterious man in the black room of Jiangda University, who came from Sujiazhuang to Jiangcheng to work, and finally stayed in Jiangda University, is a legend! He will definitely not harm your aunt! I have a very bold idea to get the hallucinogenic plant from Chen Meijia."

Su Jin paused slightly, a hint of deepness flashed in his eyes, Su Chenjin's voice on the phone was brisk, and they both said in unison: "Someone that uncle knows!"

Su Chenjin frowned slightly, and there was a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her voice: "Brother, could it be that uncle is really not dead?"

Su Jin shook his head gently, his brows slightly raised, as if he was thinking about a profound question.

He spoke calmly, his voice revealing a hint of calmness: "I really can't be sure of this, Xiaojin. However, whether uncle is still alive or not, we will try our best to find the truth. What do you think, sister? Brother will tell you everything he knows! If one day your sister-in-law complains to you that brother is not by her side, you must say a few good words to him!"

Su Chenjin knew that her brother always liked to show off his affection to her, but she enjoyed it, enjoying the intimacy and warmth between the brother and sister. She couldn't help but smile, her bright eyes curved into crescents, and she replied in a brisk voice, "Okay, brother, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xinliang's face changed slightly. He had already caught some hidden and crucial clues from that brief conversation.

There was a sharp light in his eyes, as if he could see through the surface of things and reach their core.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then whispered to himself: "Oh, the first clue is here!"

However, this sudden inspiration did not give Gu Xinliang enough time to immerse himself in it.

He glanced at the watch on his wrist and his face darkened.

He found that there were only fifteen minutes left before the start of his biochemistry experiment class.

This made him feel helpless, and he knew he had to get to the laboratory as soon as possible.

"Xiao Jin, can you check Chen Meijia?"

Su Chenjin raised his head slightly, met Gu Xinliang's eyes, and said firmly: "I strongly believe that my reasoning is correct!"

Gu Xinliang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and faced Su Chenjin with a relaxed attitude.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "Then why do you think your aunt's husband used the aroma of hallucinogenic plants on your aunt?"

Su Chenjin's brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about this complicated question. She shook her head gently and said, "It's one thing for Aunt to dream about Uncle, but the hallucinogenic plant was definitely not given by Uncle!"

Gu Xinliang looked at her and smiled gently, with a smile that seemed to hide some deep meaning: "Let's make a bet!"

Su Chenjin was slightly stunned, then she smiled. There was a gleam of challenge in her eyes, and she was ready to take on this challenge. She asked curiously, "What's the bet?"

Gu Xinliang turned his head slightly and looked at Su Chenjin, his eyes full of confidence and determination. He smiled and said, "I bet on whether your GPA in the most difficult anatomy course can be in the top 5%."

Hearing Gu Xinliang's words, she raised her head slightly, with a hint of anger in her eyes. Her brows were furrowed, like a kitten about to get angry, and she said angrily, "I can get to the top 5% even without gambling. Aren't you playing tricks on me?"

Gu Xinliang walked to Su Chenjin's desk, put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked directly into her eyes. His voice was low and powerful, "Stop loss! I've never lost before!"

The two people's eyes collided in the air, sparks flying.

However, Su Chenjin was not overwhelmed by Gu Xinliang's momentum. She looked back at him without showing any weakness, and finally the two smiled at each other.

Walking out of Gu Xinliang's office, Su Chenjin's mood was as heavy as the dark clouds before a storm.

She knew that she was about to step into a world full of unknowns and dangers.

That historical file of Chen Meijia was like opening a door to the past, mysterious and strange.

Su Chenjin's footsteps echoed in the corridor of Juanzi's dormitory, and each step seemed unusually heavy.

The file bag in her hand seemed to be filled with heavy secrets, which made her feel awe.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, and then slowly opened the long-forgotten document.

Chen Meijia in the archives had a determined light in her eyes when she was young, which was a desire for the unknown world and the pursuit of self-worth.

The special nature of her profession gives her the opportunity to come into contact with things that are unimaginable to ordinary people - hallucinogenic plants.

In the archival photo, she is standing in a dense jungle, holding a blooming exotic flower in her hands, her face filled with excitement and curiosity.

Su Chenjin's gaze lingered on the photo for a long time.

A strong urge surged in Su Chenjin's heart, and she wanted to stop all this from happening.

She stood in the corridor, listening to the muffled sobbing coming from the next room. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she couldn't breathe.

She couldn't imagine that the once gentle and kind woman was now living in a nightmare every night, tortured beyond recognition by endless fear and pain, and her physical health was seriously threatened.

Su Chenjin's fingers clenched the door handle, and her heartbeat echoed in the quiet corridor.

The helpless look of her aunt Juanzi appeared before her eyes. The despair and helplessness made her feel heartbroken.

She took a deep breath and pushed open the door. The room was dark, with only a dim yellow table lamp emitting a weak light.

Aunt Juanzi sat by the bed, trembling, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.

Su Chenjin walked up to her and gently held her hand. The woman's fingers were cold and stiff, as if she had no life left.

She looked up at Su Chenjin, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Su Chenjin's voice was gentle and firm, and a warm current flowed into the woman's heart.

The woman's lips trembled, and she wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

The next day, Su Chenjin finished a busy day of classes.

As night falls, the sky seems to be covered by a huge piece of black silk cloth, and the twinkling lights appear particularly lonely and faint in the boundless darkness.

The silence around was like an abyss. Only the laughter of students in the distance and the occasional sound of the night wind echoed in this empty campus like some kind of ominous omen.

Su Chenjin took a deep breath. The air seemed to be filled with an indescribable tension and danger, like a ferocious beast hidden in the darkness, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

She felt her heartbeat quickening, and every step she took was like walking on thin ice, not knowing what kind of storm would come next.

Su Chenjin walked into the school hospital. The corridor was dead silent. Only the light in the duty room shone faintly, like a beacon in the fog, bringing a little comfort to people.

Every step she took was as if she was stepping on a thick carpet, silent and without sound. Only the faint sound of footsteps that seemed to ring in her ears reminded her that the surroundings were not completely quiet.

She turned around suddenly and saw a black shadow flash quickly in the dim light, like a ghost in the night, silently.

Su Chenjin's heartbeat instantly accelerated, as rapid as the beat of a drum, but she quickly suppressed her inner panic.
It turned out to be a rhubarb!
Su Chenjin walked to the door of the duty room and knocked gently. The sound echoed in the empty corridor, but no one answered.

She took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door. She saw that the doctor on duty was empty, with only a lonely desk lamp shining quietly.
She looked around, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Thoughts of her aunt, hallucinogenic plants, and a possible conspiracy within the school hospital swirled in her mind.

She knew that she had to find out the situation as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Chenjin walked out of the duty room and began to look for clues in every corner of the hospital.

She gently pushed open the doors one by one, taking every step carefully, for fear of disrupting the quiet and depressing atmosphere.

In the room, various medical devices are arranged in an orderly manner, but beneath this neat appearance, there are unknown secrets hidden.

She carefully checked each medicine cabinet, her fingers lightly running over the neatly arranged medicines, as if she could read silent stories from them.

Just when she was about to give up, suddenly, her eyes were drawn to the corner of a medicine cabinet.

There was a hidden drawer there, cleverly concealed in shadow.

She carefully opened the drawer and saw a neat stack of documents inside.

She picked up the document nervously and saw "Drug Purchase Record" written on the cover.

Her heart skipped a beat, as if being pulled by an invisible force. She quickly flipped through the records, and rows of numbers came into view.

The purchase quantities of some drugs far exceeded normal usage, which made her feel strongly uneasy and confused.

What secrets are hidden behind these numbers?
A chill surged in Su Chenjin's heart, like a cold wind in the middle of the night penetrating her thin coat and piercing her heart.

She felt that she might have touched upon some secrets buried deep in the darkness. Those secrets seemed to have an endless gravitational pull, leading her step by step into the unknown abyss.

She quickly put the document in her hand back to its original place. The moment the paper touched the table, a crisp sound was heard, echoing in the empty corridor.

Su Chenjin's heart was beating like a drum, and she was ready to leave this mysterious hospital.

However, the moment she turned around, a strong chill came from behind, like an icy steel needle piercing her body in an instant.

She turned around suddenly and saw a dark shadow standing behind her, like a ghost in the night, silent and motionless.

The shadow's eyes were cold and sharp, able to see through her heart and know all her secrets.

The hospital corridor seemed even more empty and quiet under the dim light, with only Su Chenjin's rapid breathing and heartbeat echoing.

Su Chenjin's body seemed to be tightly wrapped in coldness, unable to move. She knew that she had been discovered.
