The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 78 The fourth person present in the dark alley, team-building activities in early summer

Under the dim street lights, the narrow dark alley was like the open mouth of a giant snake, ruthlessly swallowing all the light around it.

Its depths seemed to be an endless black hole, swallowing up even the starlight and moonlight, leaving only a few mottled shadows jumping on the wet walls, like silent ghosts wandering in the dark night.

In this endless darkness, a figure appears and disappears.

He is the fourth person present in the Chen Shanshan case in the dark alley. His existence is like a ghost coming from the depths of hell, carrying a chilling aura.

He was wearing a tattered windbreaker, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, and there was a strange rhythm to his walk.

The brim of Lu Bin's hat was pulled down very low, almost covering half of his face, leaving only a pair of eagle-like eyes exposed.

Those eyes flashed coldly in the darkness, like two cold stars, able to see through all secrets.

As the police car arrived, these eyes kept scanning the surroundings, looking for clues to the case at the same time, and were clearly alert to potential threats.

Lu Bin had a pager in his hand, which was ringing at the moment, "Dongdong 7, where are you now? Your part-time job tonight is about to end, please show up in the store as soon as possible!"

Lu Bin cursed angrily and said to the pager, "I'm busy now. Can't you see that I'm already too busy to handle everything?"

The pager beeped, "Lu Bin, I'll give you five minutes, show up at the store right away!"

Lu Bin hung up the pager and looked back anxiously. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step on the wet ground made a dull echo, like some mysterious rhythm, reverberating in the dark night.

As he approached step by step, a cold breath blew in his face like the north wind in the cold winter, instantly sweeping across the entire narrow alley.

The breath was a mixture of the fishy smell of moist soil and the smell of mildew and decay in damp corners, which made people shiver involuntarily, and even the blood froze in the cold.

He stretched out his hand, blocking the light in front of his eyes. In the dim light, his fingers were slender and powerful, like an elegant pianist, gently stroking an object in his hand in the dark.

It was a dagger that flashed with a cold light. The blade reflected a heart-pounding cold light under the dim light. Lu Bin was like a messenger from hell, carrying the breath of death.

The air in the dark alley seemed to be sucked away by his arrival in a brief moment, and it was so quiet that it was suffocating.

Apart from his heavy breathing, there seemed to be no other sound. Even the faint barking of a dog in the distance seemed so far away.

He slowly raised his head, his sharp eyes flashing a cold light in the darkness, and he found everything he was looking for in the surrounding buildings.

At this time, the sound of sirens came from not far away, getting closer and closer to where Lu Bin was. Lu Bin even heard the voice of the police captain, Liu Sir.

My heart beat inexplicably and irregularly. Suddenly, a cat in the garbage dump in the alley meowed.

Following the pitiful voice, wherever Lu Bin's eyes went, it was as if he was enveloped by a powerful force, which made people feel palpitations involuntarily.

Lu Bin held a utility knife in his pocket, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. That smile was full of cunning and coldness, as if he was mocking the ignorance and stupidity of this world.

That smile was chilling, like seeing the face of death, cold and merciless.

In this silent and depressing atmosphere, the key figure in this case seems to have become the master of this dark alley, controlling the fate of all lives.

His every move and every look was full of power and threat, making people dare not act rashly.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the alley like a rainstorm, and even the darkness of the night was slightly trembling because of the sudden sound waves.

Deep in the dark alley, a panicked figure rushed out from the darkness, like a flash of lightning, and hit him straight in the face.

Lu Bin was originally leaning against the wall, closing his eyes and feeling the coolness of the night.

The collision startled him and woke him up from his dream.

He reacted quickly, stretched out his hands like lightning, grabbed the man by the collar, and lifted him up.

At the same time, the dagger in his hand had slid out silently, and the sharp tip was now pressing tightly against the man's throat.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lu Bin's voice was low and cold. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of threats and warnings.

The man's face turned pale in an instant, he was shaking with fear, his eyes were full of horror, and he explained incoherently, as if trying to calm the other party's anger with words.

Lu Bin recognized this person. Just now, this person was wearing a long wig and pretending to be a ghost in front of Chen Shanshan.

He was standing in a tricky and powerful position, and he could clearly see the man's appearance.

The man knelt on the ground and begged.
Lu Bin had no intention of letting him go.

He stared closely into the man's eyes, trying to read more information from them.

Lu Bin's eyes were full of ruthlessness and determination, as if he was a hungry wolf staring at his prey, ready to pounce and bite it at any time.

"I don't want to get involved in your business, but this is my territory. What are you doing here?"

As he pressed on, the atmosphere in the alley became increasingly tense, and the air was frozen by the oppressive feeling.

The darkness around them became thicker, and a fierce conflict could break out at any time.

The captured man, Zhang Mianmian, had turned as pale as paper, his eyes were full of despair and fear, and he had already foreseen the fate he was about to face.

"Brother, please let me go!" Zhang Mianmian begged bitterly, "I am ignorant and disturbed you, please let me go, I have taken the wrong path!"

Lu Bin closed his eyes tightly and shouted, "Get lost!"

Lu Bin's mysterious identity was revealed the next moment.

He is not a cold-blooded killer, but a Moonlight Saber cosplayer who loves martial arts.

The moonlight tonight seemed exceptionally bright, and his heart was filled with the intoxication of alcohol.

Holding an exquisite scimitar prop in his hand, he immersed himself in the world of martial arts, forgetting the constraints of reality.

However, a coincidence of fate made him the fourth key figure in this case.

Chen Shanshan accidentally caught his trail at the alley entrance, and she followed his footsteps into the deep alley.

Under the moonlight, the unique scimitar prop flashed with cold light, which made her feel frightened instantly.

Her heart beat faster and she couldn't control her emotions, but the reason why Chen Shanshan lost control was probably not that simple.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, Sir Liu summoned Lu Bin, the fourth person present at the case.

Lu Bin was dressed casually at the moment, with light makeup on his face, which looked a little unnatural.

Sir Liu frowned and said with a look of disgust, "Why don't you clean up before coming out? It's no exaggeration to say that you scared the passers-by!"

Lu Bin was feeling dirty inside, but he was smart. He said, "I just didn't take off my makeup. Is there any problem?"

Sir Liu touched his chin and turned to ask Su Chenjin. He gave him a warning look, and Su Chenjin recalled: "Only Senior Sister Chen Shanshan was at the scene just now. Mr. Lu Bin was not at the scene and disappeared long ago!"

Sir Liu savored Su Chenjin's words carefully, and he continued to question, "So, Mr. Lu, when you found that the person was not right, why did you leave in a hurry?"

Lu Bin was stunned after hearing this, then he laughed and said, "I'm not absconding because I'm afraid of the crime. I'm just going home. If I have to pick up every stray cat, then I'm not a millionaire!"

Sir Liu looked at him coldly, trying to find a flaw in Lu Bin's face. He asked, "You came home with murderous intent? Look at how drunk you are. Wait until you sober up before answering the question!"

Lu Bin smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not drunk. You think two taels of Xiaobaigan can make people drunk? Besides, I look a bit serious, there's nothing I can do about it. If seriousness is also called murderous, then I might be out of a job! Hahahaha, I'm a hot commodity now, people are asking me to do things everywhere!"

Although his words were light-hearted, Sir Liu caught a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

At this moment, Chen Shanshan woke up slowly, and when she saw Lu Bin, she screamed again.

This time, Sir Liu did not knock her out again, but decided to take Lu Bin back to the police station for further investigation.

At the police station, Lu Bin was questioned in detail, but he always insisted that he was innocent.

Although Sir Liu had his doubts, he did not find any conclusive evidence to prove Lu Bin's guilt.

However, unexpectedly, a few hours after Lu Bin was released on bail, Chen Shanshan disappeared.

This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the police station.

Sir Liu and others immediately launched an emergency investigation, hoping to find Chen Shanshan's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Lu Bin also became their main suspect. When Xiao Liu Sir found Lu Bin, Lu Bin pointed out the suspicious person in the dark alley. "This person is pretending to be a ghost in the dark alley, and I am just a cosplay actor. I think the disappearance of the person involved is related to this suspicious person!"

Sir Liu glanced at Lu Bin meaningfully and said, "If I asked you to draw a suspect, how confident are you?"

Lu Bin gently held his forehead with his hand as he felt a headache. He said with relief, "7%!"

Without saying anything, Xiao Liu took Lu Bin away. A more thrilling pursuit and investigation was about to begin...

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunshine had not yet completely dispelled the silence of the night, the teachers and students of Jiangnan University Medical School were awakened by the magic of early summer.

Their mood is like the gradually brightening sky, with endless anticipation for the upcoming team-building activities.

The sun is like a naughty child, secretly poking its head out from the sparse clouds and casting mottled light and shadows.

The light and shadow are like countless golden fragments, flashing brightly under the shade of green leaves, covering the earth with a dazzling coat.

The breeze blows gently, bringing with it the freshness and sweetness unique to early summer, caressing every face full of expectation.

Su Chenjin got up early. She stood in front of the window of the dormitory and looked into the distance.

In the morning light at six o'clock, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She doesn’t have many good friends at Jiang University, and Kang Duanchenxiang is her only friend of the same age here.

They agreed to participate in this team-building together and create unforgettable memories together.

After eating the familiar and delicious breakfast in Jiangda cafeteria, Su Chenjin and Kang Duanchenxiang walked hand in hand onto the bus parked in front of the school gate.

On the bus, the students laughed and talked happily. Su Chenjin and Kang Duanchenxiang were also immersed in this joy. They exchanged glances from time to time, and their hearts were full of longing for this event.

As the bus slowly moved, they finally arrived at the team-building location, a picturesque resort on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

This resort has a long history. It was once part of the Jiangcheng Ancient Road and has witnessed countless changes over the years.

Today, it has been transformed into a resort that combines ancient charm with modern atmosphere, and has become an ideal place for people to relax and have fun.

However, when the convoy stopped and everyone got off, Su Chenjin found that Kang Duanchenxiang was nowhere to be seen.

She searched anxiously among the crowd, but could not find the familiar figure.

Xu Tian saw her worry and came over to comfort her, "Xiao Jin, don't worry. Chen Xiang shouldn't have gone far. Go with the main group to do the team building first. I'll send someone to look for her!"

The moment Su Chenjin stepped out of the car, the ground beneath her feet seemed to come alive. She looked up and saw green mountains rolling under the blue sky and white clouds, and the picture of nature slowly unfolded before her eyes. She followed Gu Xinliang's steps and stepped into this mysterious world step by step.

They walked through winding paths, crossed gurgling streams, and finally arrived at the resort located on a small mountain at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

Here, the air seems to be filtered, so fresh that people can't help but take a deep breath.

The surrounding environment is picturesque, with mountains looming in the distance and lush, green trees nearby.

Su Chenjin felt like she was in a fairy tale world, her heart filled with wonder and joy.

She listened to the birds singing happily among the treetops. The sound was like the music of nature, intoxicating.

She felt the breath of nature, and the wonderful harmony and balance made her feel relaxed and happy.

Her face was filled with a bright smile, which was the joy and satisfaction that came from the bottom of her heart.

In this resort, Su Chenjin found a place where she could let go of all her worries and constraints.

She is at one with nature, feeling its rhythm and beat.

Here, she can breathe, run, laugh and enjoy the beauty and freedom of life.

The prelude to the team-building activity is a unique expansion training.

Gu Xinliang turned around and said to Su Chenjin, "Xiaojin, we are going to do some physical work in a while, just follow me, take your time, don't be anxious, no matter who urges you!"

Su Chenjin nodded and replied, "Okay, Director Gu, I'm not in a hurry, I will follow you closely!" As soon as she finished speaking, the climbing training began in full swing.

Gu Xinliang brought Su Chenjin to a towering rock climbing wall. The tall wall was like an insurmountable mountain, making people feel both excited and nervous.

Gu Xinliang looked at Su Chenjin and asked, "Xiaojin, have you ever tried rock climbing?"

Su Chenjin shook his head and replied, "I've never tried it, but I believe I can climb it. If you don't believe me, Director Gu and I can have a competition!"

Gu Xinliang laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Okay, then let's compete to see who can reach the top first!"

Following the referee's order, Su Chenjin and Gu Xinliang began to climb at the same time. They were agile and climbed to the top as easily as monkeys. Su Chenjin's movements were smooth and powerful, which made Gu Xinliang's eyes light up.

After a fierce competition, Su Chenjin was the first to reach the top. She shouted happily, "I won, Director Gu! Hehehehe!"

Gu Xinliang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Okay, then I'll carry two bags!"

Seeing this, Su Chenjin quickly said, "Let me get some water!"

Gu Xinliang rejected her kindness and said, "I can get the water myself, I don't need your help."

Su Chenjin was not willing to be outdone, and continued: "Then let me get the bottle!"

Gu Xinliang rejected her again and said, "The bottles can be recycled, so you don't have to worry about it."

Su Chenjin looked at Gu Xinliang and asked in confusion: "Director Gu, are you angry? Are you angry because I won?"

Gu Xinliang smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, this is called self-reliance!"

Su Chenjin put on his backpack again and said firmly: "Director Gu, I have to support myself. Let's go down the mountain now!"

Gu Xinliang smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go now."

As soon as the two walked to the lake, they saw several professors had already set up their fishing rods, ready to start their fishing activities.

They sat on the rocks by the lake, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait, their handsome figures blending into one with nature.

The lake water shimmers like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the leisurely white clouds.

The breeze blew across the lake, creating layers of ripples and bringing a hint of coolness.

The leaves by the lake swayed gently, making rustling sounds, which intertwined with the birdsong coming from afar, forming a symphony of nature.

Professor Chen greeted them warmly when he saw them coming over: "Director Gu, Xiaojin, you guys are coming down from the mountain? I heard that the freshwater fish in this lake are very delicious. We are in for a treat today!"

Gu Xinliang put down his backpack and sat next to Professor Chen. "Fishing is my specialty. It would be a pity if I don't participate in such a fun activity!"

Su Chenjin quickly handed over a fishing rod, and Gu Xinliang immediately took it. He skillfully adjusted the angle of the fishing rod and the position of the bait, and then waited quietly.

"Watch me show you my skills!" Gu Xinliang said confidently.

After a while, the ripples on the lake became more and more dense, and it seemed that the fish were attracted by the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere and came to poke their heads out.

Finally, the fishing rod in Gu Xinliang's hand sank suddenly. He quickly lifted the fishing rod, and a fat fish jumped out in the sun.

"Haha, look!" Gu Xinliang proudly showed off the fish in his hand, and people gathered around and admired him.

The evening always comes quietly, as if a time weaver gently waves his magic wand, and in a blink of an eye, the sky is lightly covered by a layer of light ink.

This ink color is like a highly skilled painter, freely splashing across the endless canvas, creating a profound and mysterious painting.

The golden sun slowly sets in the west, its light gradually becoming soft and warm, like a tired but still bright pearl, slowly sinking below the distant horizon.

As the sun disappears, a bright moon rises quietly. It hangs quietly in the night sky, casting a soft and cool silver light.

The silver light is like a mother's gentle hand, gently caressing the earth, adding a touch of mystery and romance to this quiet evening.

The teachers and students of Jiangnan University had already sat impatiently on a large lawn, excitedly waiting for the arrival of night.

The grass was piled with dry firewood. The moment the match was struck, a bright flame instantly jumped up and illuminated everyone's face.

The flames jumped happily on the woodpile, making crackling sounds, accompanied by the scent of grass and wood in the breeze.

The bonfire party is like a shining pearl, inlaid in the quiet night, emitting charming light.

The flames danced in the night, as lively as elves, bringing endless vitality and vigor to this quiet night.

As the flames jumped, a passionate song broke through the silent night sky like the dawn.

The singers stood by the campfire with passion. Their singing was high and passionate, sweeping in like a storm, full of power and appeal.

Every note burned like a raging fire, lighting up people's faces and igniting the passion in their hearts.

The tempo of the songs became faster and faster, and the singers' voices became higher and higher.

Their singing echoed in the night sky, surging like waves, penetrating everyone's heart.

The audience was moved by the singing; they swayed their bodies to the rhythm of the music, wanting to release all their inner emotions.

The light from the bonfire danced on the singers' faces, reflecting their determined eyes and confident smiles.

Their singing seemed to have magic, pushing people's emotions to a climax.

In this night full of passion and vitality, everyone seemed to have found their soul's home and felt unprecedented happiness and freedom.

Then, a group of dancers in brightly colored costumes gracefully walked onto the stage.

Their clothes are colorful, like the most gorgeous sunset in the sky, reflecting the bright moonlight, forming a moving picture.

As the music sounded, they began to dance gracefully, like beautiful butterflies flying among the flowers, light and agile.

Their dance is full of rhythm and vitality. Every movement is as smooth as flowing water, powerful yet graceful.

Their bodies swayed to the rhythm of the music, sometimes spinning gracefully, sometimes jumping lightly, showing the dancers' superb skills and endless creativity.

Their performance seemed to bring people into a dreamlike world, making them intoxicated and forgetting the passage of time.

On one side of the stage, Su Chenjin and Gu Xinliang sat on a bench, both of them following the performance on the stage closely.

They clapped and laughed, completely immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

At this moment, Kang Duanchenxiang walked out from the crowd. She was tall and slender, with outstanding temperament. She looked particularly elegant in a white dress under the moonlight. Her appearance immediately attracted Su Chenjin's attention.

"Chenxiang, where did you go during the day? I couldn't find you." Su Chenjin invited Kang Duan Chenxiang to come and sit down, and she asked with a smile.

Kang Duanchenxiang nodded slightly and said softly, "Something happened in the student union. I went back to school to deal with it."

"What happened?" Su Chenjin asked with a faint smile on his face and a meaningful voice.

Kang Duanchenxiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "A classmate from the student union is in some trouble."

Su Chenjin frowned, she guessed that maybe something happened to the student union member again. She asked tentatively, "Is it Chen Shanshan?"

Kang Duan Chenxiang did not answer directly, but lowered her head and smiled.
The laughter and joy from the team-building activities had not yet completely dissipated from Su Chenjin's ears, but his mind had already been firmly occupied by another more pressing matter.

She stood quietly by the roadside, with people and cars passing by, but she seemed isolated from the world.

The breeze blew gently, bringing with it the coolness unique to the night, gently ruffling her silky long hair.

Suddenly, the clear ringing of a cell phone broke the silence, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Su Chenjin suddenly came to her senses and quickly took out her cell phone from her bag. When she saw the caller ID showed it was Liu Sir, her heart tightened.

She frowned, quickly pressed the answer button, and put the phone close to her ear.

"Mr. Liu, what's wrong?" There was a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in her voice, but more of it was the exploration and anticipation of the unknown situation.

On the other end of the phone, Sir Liu's voice came with a hint of obvious joy: "Xiao Jin, good news, we found Chen Shanshan."

Upon hearing the news, Su Chenjin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

The worry and anxiety in her heart were slightly alleviated at this moment, but she was more excited and curious about what would happen next.

However, Sir Liu's next words made her feel complicated again: "However, her current situation is a bit special. She only wants to see one person, and that is you."

Su Chenjin was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Shanshan to make such a request. Although she and Chen Shanshan had some interactions, they were not particularly close friends.

The relationship between them is like two parallel lines. Although they occasionally intersect, most of the time they move forward on their own.

However, now Chen Shanshan only wants to see her, which makes her feel a little puzzled and confused.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. She adjusted her breathing and said in a calm voice, "Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, turned around and walked quickly towards a taxi parked on the side of the road.
