Chapter 4 Chapter 1 Red Stitching

Slowly the autumn wind brings coolness, and the sun is warm and pleasant. It was cloudless, and it was a rare good weather after school started. It was more than a month after I stepped into the threshold of medical school, at ten o'clock on a Saturday morning, after biology get out of class. The taste of autumn is here, and the date of the midterm exam is gradually approaching without knowing it. "Although the autumn is strong, everything is full of vitality. Although there is a surprise roll call in the biology class early in the morning, overall, the flaws are not hidden. These two days will be a rare and beautiful weekend before the midterm exam. Brother Xu Xian, what are we doing these days?" What activity arrangements?" My roommate Xiao Li leaned on crutches with both hands, put a small piece of plaster on his right foot, and freed his right hand to fiddle with the long hair that gradually formed on his head after the catastrophe of Chenggong Ridge, and said in a very happy mood.

After the start of school in mid-October, the dazzling welcome activities really made us unfamiliar rookies rush to the appointment with excitement, curiosity and a little bit of flattery.After a month of running around, the main class is put aside, the big and small itinerary activities after school, can be said to be duck water skiing, and gradually enter the situation. Xiao Li, who is always well-dressed, stylish and handsome, but a little glib in speech, during these days, can be said to be the leader of the extracurricular activities in the minds of me and the other four roommates (Dr. Qin, A Nuo, Xu Xian, and Old K) Object, let's listen to Xiao Li's self-introduction on the first day after moving into the dormitory: "Xiao Li, I am 19 years old this year. I graduated from Chiayi Middle School. I don't care if I'm handsome. I have a bright tongue and a thick skin. Of course, 'like to socialize with friends of the opposite sex' is my specialty, although my dear roommates will definitely not admit that this is also a specialty, maybe it is meaningless to argue about this, anyway, whoever believes in me will have eternal life, because sooner or later you will recognize my specialty It is indeed a specialty with high rarity and first-class practicability. Therefore, everyone will share the blessings in the future, hang out together if you have fun, and be a loyal buddy!"

Therefore, the thick-skinned handsome Xiao Li and the shy us hit it off. Even if it is a pool of stagnant water, as long as a stone is thrown into it, it can immediately cause ripples. Xiao Li's personality plays the role of this catalyst among the six of us. Xiao Li is indeed a master of extracurricular activities. I really don't know if he has been a master of this since he was in high school.The various activities in the six-person dormitory were held with great fanfare, and our roommates inevitably applauded him from time to time.Just when everyone was at ease and the smells were becoming more and more like each other, at a dance held by the department two days ago, Xiao Li, who took the lead, jumped and broke his leg.

Please don't explore how incredible it is that dancing can break a leg bone. In short, the "group of six" suddenly lost its focus, so at this moment Xiao Li asked: "Brother Xu Xian, what activities do we have for these few days? " The yawning Xu Xian took out the notebook in his pocket, dipped his saliva in his spare time and flipped through it, and said, "Well... everyone, activities... Well, basically there is no such thing. If there is any, it will be the same as now It’s the same, it’s here to bask in the sun.” "It's good to bask in the sun! Good advice." Arnold said.

"Basking in the sun...is this considered an activity? If you stay in the sun, it will almost burn..." I said. "Gentlemen, report from the room chief, please pay attention, ahem... a beautiful woman is approaching." At this time, old K reported in a low voice. "Oh! Where?" "Ahem...over there." Old K said. The heads of the six of us, leaning on the railing to bask in the sun, were neatly aligned and naturally swayed in the direction where the beauty was approaching. "It seems that I, Xiao Li, still need to explain to you that the one at the front with the most punctual appearance and figure is Huang Luoyi, a well-known freshman in the Department of Pharmacy, who is just around the corner at the School of Medicine at University B. Of course, I still have to emphasize here Now, it is said that she has a good impression of me."

"It is said that Huang Luoyi also has a good impression of me!" At the same time, Old K followed Xiao Li's words and said the same. Hearing what Old K said, the ten eyes of the other five of us immediately turned back and gathered on Old K, all of them looked in disbelief. Old K took off his glasses, wiped the lens with the corner of his clothes, ignored our reaction, and said slowly: "She admires smart men like me!" "Really?" I wanted to ask. "Old K, you have changed...you have become as thick-skinned as Xiao Li." A Nuo said. "Oops, like attracts like, will I become like this in the future?" Xu Xian said.

Huang Luoyi and his party looked like they were in a hurry, I guess they were going to the teaching building for class.When passing in front of us, these five or six girls glanced at us more or less. It was strange that their eyes lingered on Lao Qin for a little longer. "Hi! Long time no see, Luo Yi!" Xiao Li greeted. "Long time no see?... Didn't we just meet at the school gate a few days ago? Xiao Li, what's wrong with your feet, I heard you were dancing..." Huang Luoyi laughed. "Rumors are purely rumors and cannot be proven. These five are my roommates, how? Are they all like dragons and phoenixes, with extraordinary bearing?" Xiao Li said with a laugh.

The two sides greeted each other with smiles, and Xiao Li asked, "Are you going to the library?" Huang Luoyi shook her head, pointed at a petite girl beside her, who was stylishly dressed, and had shoulder-length hair, and said, "This is Lin Meishu, a fourth-year senior from your medical department..." "Wow! It's like thunder, I have long admired the name of senior sister." "Sister is so beautiful!" "We are so blind that we didn't know that Senior Sister was coming!" Huang Luoyi gave us a white look, "Don't be glib, no wonder there are rumors on campus that the quality of freshmen in the Department of Medicine is uneven this year."

"How can we be glib, we are telling the truth, right? Senior sister." "Who? Who is it? Dare to say that our quality is uneven?" "Please! Arnold, what is your expression, are you going to scare people to death?" Lin Meishu looked at our gossip with a smile, "You guys are so lively!" "Ah! Senior sister is wise!" It was only after such an interruption that Huang Luoyi revealed their destination: "Several second-year seniors in the medical department are planning to review the body offering (referring to the human body textbook for anatomy, the original name is cadaver) in the general anatomy room. They asked senior sister Lin Meishu to guide them, and we wanted to drop by as a trainee. One was curiosity, and the other was a rare opportunity! How about it? Do you want to go together?"

"Well...the weather is good...maybe..." Xiao Li expressed our disappointment on behalf of us. After watching them leave, Old K smiled wryly and said, "I never thought that for a man as intelligent as me, she only looked at me back and forth for half a second." I patted Old K on the shoulder comfortingly, looking at each other speechlessly.Leaning on the railing beside the playground to bask in the sun, chatting nonsensically, and admiring the beautiful campus girls coming and going have become the main campus activities of the six of us recently. Not far from the left side of the railing is the concrete floor beside the playground. A group of folk dance club members are dancing gracefully to the music. Perhaps this is the reason that attracts us to stay near the railing.

Beyond the playground, members of the baseball club are practicing passing, catching and batting. Looking from a distance, they seem to be all in high spirits, shouting one after another. I have heard about the baseball atmosphere of B University Medical School as early as when I was studying in K Middle School. It is a traditional strong team with a long-standing reputation in the college league, medical cup season, and regional championships. After stepping into the threshold of the medical school of University B, I finally opened my eyes to the phenomenon of a hundred flowers contending in the university clubs, and I was even astonished to witness the scale of the baseball club, which claims to be the number one in the school. The Department of Medicine, the Department of Pharmacy, and the Department of Nursing are the three major departments in the Faculty of Medicine.Among them, the medical department has the largest number of males, and it is the backbone of the baseball club, which regards baseball as a "team ball".In the Intercollegiate Cup baseball game, it is common for all the grades of the medical department to dominate the top few. The baseball club has a large number of members, which invisibly gathers a force. Naturally, the weight of the president's speech on various occasions cannot be ignored. In club budgets, academic meetings, campus activities, and foreign competitions, the baseball club of B University Medical School is worthy The style of the largest club on campus.Among them, the baseball team belongs to the baseball club, and the team alone has nearly a hundred players. Of course, there are only about twenty-five players in the first team that can actually represent the college in foreign competitions. Some people don't join baseball clubs with the intention of being able to play.Some of the students in the medical department have a strong foundation in English and Japanese. In addition, overseas students from the United States, Japan, and South Korea join in, so they can absorb various baseball information, appreciate professional baseball, and study baseball knowledge. These are the things that attract more people to invest in baseball. The main cause of the society. Baseball has spawned a variety of related activities. Over time, various participating groups have been divided under the baseball club. On the contrary, some clubs have been merged into the baseball club for more benign development. With a large number of people, the funds of the association will not be lacking. Moreover, with the donations from alumni to give back to the association, the association will receive more college support than other associations, so it will grow stronger.Therefore, posters of club activities of the baseball club can be seen everywhere on campus. However, freshmen like us who are freshmen in the medical department do not seem to be very willing to devote themselves to the masculine baseball club activities as soon as they enter school. Places are the places where we hang out most often. Although it is embarrassing to say, it is the truth! At this time, a baseball was hit so high that it drew a beautiful arc amid the faint cheers, and flew towards us, passed the folk dancers, bounced a few times after landing, and rolled a few steps in front of us stopped in the distance. There was a brief silence. The baseball players raised their arms and shouted at us from a distance. They couldn't hear the details clearly, as if they wanted us to help pick up the baseball and throw it back. The old K who was closest to him slowly picked up the baseball, and after gracefully posing for the pitching position, he gathered all his strength... "Are you sure?" Xiao Li said in a strange voice. "Be careful of the group of folk dance clubs in front, don't hit them." I continued to remind. "If you hit someone, you have to be responsible!" Arnold told Old K. "Don't force yourself if you're not sure." Xu Xian said lazily. Old K seemed to have listened to our advice, and immediately softened his posture, covered his eyebrows with his left hand, stood on tiptoe and looked around, as if he was not sure about passing the ball over the crowd of the folk dance club.He shook his head with a smile, handed the ball to Arnold, and said in a tone of resignation: "You still come!" Arnold put down his backpack, his burly and strong body turned from behind the railing to the front, took the white ball in Old K's hand, drew his bow and turned around to throw it in one go.The white ball flew back like a bullet. After throwing the ball, Arnold turned over and retreated behind the railing. The overall movement was clean and neat. The girls of the folk dance club are dancing enthusiastically, and the music "la la" is playing.After Arnold threw the ball, everyone's eyes were focused on one place like a searchlight, and they didn't realize that several baseball players in dirty baseball uniforms were coming towards us, and some of them were still carrying balls Great... the students from the Folk Dance Club stopped first and pointed in our direction. Only then did we realize that a group of baseball team players were surrounding us. what happened? The six of us gathered around Arnold as the center.What is the other party going to do?Could it be that Arnold made a mistake in throwing the ball just now? "May I ask which classmate passed that ball just now?" The one who took the lead was a handsome guy with distinct facial features and perfect body proportions.The bangs on his forehead were dripping with sweat, and the dust on his baseball uniform was even more masculine.But his tone at this time did not smell provocative. Old K pointed to Arnold very quickly and clearly. At the same time, Arnold responded: "I passed it on. Is there any problem?" "I'm Zhang Jitian, the captain of our school's baseball team. I'm a fourth-year medical student. I just had a chance to see you pass the ball back straight and accurately. The whole arm is so strong. It's really surprising and appreciated. Let's discuss it for a while. However, looking at the current team, it is almost impossible to find such a talent, and this is not a compliment, so I came here to meet a classmate with this skill." The handsome Zhang Jitian took off his baseball cap and wiped his right hand on his jersey, with sincere eyes outstretched his hand. It turned out that he was a senior, but he really had blind eyes. The six people looked at each other in blank dismay. Arnold shook hands with senior Zhang Jitian with a smile, and said that we are all newcomers in the first year of the medical department. Senior Zhang Jitian smiled and said to A Nuo: "So they are all juniors! Have you ever played baseball before?" Arnold shook his head and said, "I've only played baseball games on video game consoles." "The strength is about the same as mine." Xu Xian smiled. Everyone laughed, and the unfamiliar atmosphere immediately warmed up a lot.We introduced ourselves first, and even pulled out our nicknames. "How? Are the juniors interested in joining the baseball club? If Junior Arnold is willing to join the team, as long as he trains hard, with the qualifications of the juniors, I think in the near future, the position of the center hitter of the school team will definitely be able to carry it." Come down. Coupled with the young players in the team, I think the results of our school will continue to shine in the future." Facing the warm invitation from the seniors, A Nuo glanced at us, with a look of hesitation flashing across his face, it was rare for the straightforward A Nuo to be so straightforward. After the start of school, there are various welcome activities, and club activities are full of flowers. The six of us, led by Xiao Li, fool around and arrange flowers everywhere. Therefore, in addition to regular classes, places with many female students and places with high entertainment, as I said before, It is the most frequent haunt of our "Wild Six Wolves" (Xiao Li's language).Therefore, a club with a strong masculine flavor like the baseball club, even though Arnold has developed motor skills, does not seem to be particularly attractive. "Arnuo, you have to think twice..." Xiao Li did not forget to remind. A girl jogging in sportswear, with a sweet smile on her face, wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, and ran over panting slightly. "Yoshida, why don't you practice the ball and are lazy here? Next year's Medical Cup season is coming soon. If I don't have good results, I will lose face as the team manager!" Zhang Jitian explained the current situation to her. It turns out that the baseball team manager is a girl. "Hello senior, senior is Xin Shuzhen, a third-year student in the Department of Public Health!" Xiao Li greeted with a smile.This kid is simply a beauty data book. Xin Shuzhen nodded to us, "Welcome to the baseball club. You guys are in good shape, so you should be good enough to play." Although this was a polite remark, she still looked at A Nuo with approval.As for Lao Qin who stood quietly by the side with his hands in his pockets, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Lao Qin is the quietest among the six of us. He is always a silent observer among a group of high-spirited people.His seemingly indifferent and unapproachable appearance is the same as the "Strange Doctor Doctor Qin" in Osamu Tezuka's comics, a little weird (this is also the origin of Lao Qin's nickname "Dr. Qin").However, his "deep eyes flashed with wisdom from time to time".I know this description is "caricature", but I really think so!This is also the common understanding of my other roommates in the days to come. "What is the 'light of wisdom' in your eyes?" Xiao Li once asked me finding fault.Uh, it's really hard to say clearly, it doesn't mean that the eyes have to be bright like candlelight to be called the light of wisdom, but to give a relative example, the same deep eyes, but my roommates say that my eyes are shining with evil... …so, of course, this is not an objective description. But the strange thing is that anyone who meets Dr. Qin, especially a girl, can't help but look at him more.At first I thought it was purely because of his unconventional look, but old K and I also tried to dress up in an unconventional way, and it seems that no girl is willing to look at us more, so according to my long-term observation, my university union Dr. Qin, a roommate who scored zero in a certain scientific examination, seems to have an indescribable charm that attracts others.At this moment, senior sister Xin Shuzhen looked at him with eyes. Although it was short, it deepened my thoughts. "Students, think about it! If you are interested, contact me or the baseball club again. We will continue to practice." Captain Zhang Jitian turned around and drank, "Partners, it's time to go to work, and the manager has spoken." With a yell, the baseball team surrounded Xin Shuzhen, and then retreated to the field to join the original personnel. The autumn wind is blowing again, raising the fallen leaves and dust in front of us. There was a silence. "Go and have a look when you have time, the manager is so punctual." Xiao Li broke the silence. No one objected. In the conversation before the baseball players left, I vaguely heard a few words: "That kind of arm strength, there is no doubt that it can pass the ball straight from the outfield to home plate, and more importantly, pass it quickly. Accurate." No wonder the baseball team valued Arnold so much. "It would be funny for Arnold to wear a formal baseball uniform," Xu Xian said. "The team may have to order an extra-large jersey for Arnold," I continued. "For one of his pieces, my old K can make three pieces." "Maybe I'm really interested, let's go and have a look together." Arnold said. "Please, anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the other party obviously appreciates your skills. And sports clubs are definitely thankless, and the girls in the baseball club must belong to a minority group, so they are boring. But with Xin Shuzhen here, we Think we'll visit you, Arnold, from time to time." "Judging from Arnold's tone, it seems that he has already planned to join!" "Actually... well, maybe it should be said this way, who hasn't watched a baseball game? Men, women, old and young all know a little bit about baseball. The glamor of baseball is undeniably attractive. .Like most people, I played baseball, but never joined a team to play baseball seriously. I used to study in K middle school, the school did not have a baseball club, and I spent all my spare time with Blue (referring to me) on the basketball court, I haven’t had the chance to try that kind of exhaustion for a long time because of the entrance exam. Now the seniors are interested in inviting us. Look at my gradually loosening muscles. I used to have a healthy body with six-pack abs, and now it has merged into a A piece of fat." Arnold is such a person, he often makes a serious speech without warning. "Then let Blue go with you. Anyway, I'll let the two of you know if we're going to dance or something. It's definitely a big attack by all members of the 'Wild Six Wolves'. How about it? Enough of the morals of the world!" "I..." I was about to refute, when there was a commotion from the direction of the dissecting room a little further away from the medicine garden, and people who were active nearby gathered in the direction of the dissecting room. "What's wrong?" We who are curious and love to join in the fun, of course, inevitably want to go over and have a look. It is because of this curiosity and love to join in the fun that we are involved in the vortex of the incident I described this time. The intelligent murderer sneered fiercely in the dark, and unsolvable mysteries lay before our eyes. This is the prelude to the first incident of my roommate Dr. Qin showing his skills on campus...Following the direction of the commotion, the six of us (including the limping Xiao Li) rushed to the first floor of the medical building gross anatomy room. The narrow entrance of the dissecting room was crowded with people who were probing their brains and talking about it. "It's so strange!" "What happened?" "Please don't squeeze, okay!" "The students in front, please squat down, okay? The students in the back can't see it!" "Could it be haunted?" "Don't talk nonsense during the day, it's probably a prank." "But according to what you said, there is still a 20% chance that it's not a prank!" The crowd of onlookers chattered and made a fuss!For a while, we couldn't figure out what was going on inside. Joining in the fun is not too embarrassing for us who are panicking from boredom. "Oh! You've stepped on my foot, Arnold!" Xiao Li shouted. "Arnold, you are the tallest, let's see what kind of fun are these people at the door of the dissection room?" A Nuo stood on tiptoe and said: "I can't see clearly, um...it looks like someone fell by the wall, the fuss should be this... Hey, there is a wall with big blood red characters written on it, which is blocked by the people in front. Hmm... I can't see what 'bowl' is written on?" "So there's nothing to see, why don't you go home and get a good night's sleep and prepare for the afternoon's activities." Xu Xian suggested sleepily. Just as Xu Xian finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent. The school staff accompanied several big men to walk quickly.The leader has a square head and big ears, with a fierce face. "Strange? Why does the dean walk with the hooligans and still have such a polite attitude?" Old K scratched the back of his head and whispered to the rest of us. "He's not a hooligan, he's Mr. Xu Dashan, the leader of the criminal team." A delicate female voice sounded behind us, and everyone seemed to be taken aback. Looking back, it turned out that it was Lin who had told us earlier that he was going to the dissection room. Miki-senpai and Huang Luoyi from the Department of Pharmacy. "Hey, you didn't just come out of it, did you... Yes! Then you can ask the two beauties what happened?" Xiao Li said. At this time, the dean of the dean accompanied Xu Dashan, who looked like a murderer, with a solemn expression, and walked past us quickly.Group leader Xu stopped suddenly, stared at Lao Qin with surprised eyes, and finally said: "Young man, have we met before? Why are you so familiar?" Now it was the turn of the rest of us to look surprised. Dr. Qin responded with a noncommittal smile. Under the supervision of the school staff, Xu Dashan walked quickly into the dissection room. Of course, we took this opportunity to push forward and get a better look. "Hey, Lao Qin, why did Xu Dashan say you looked familiar? Did you have a criminal record outside? What crime did you commit?" I asked jokingly. "It's likely to be a case of obstructing weathering and abducting a woman from a good family. My guess must be correct. Think about Jack the Ripper, the murderer of the century in London. Isn't he as mysterious as Lao Qin?" Xiao Li laughed. Lao Qin still smiled and said nothing, folded his hands on his chest, stroked his chin from time to time, and stared straight ahead. On the contrary, A Nuo took the first step to answer: "Xiao Li, don't be a thief and call catch a thief!" "Oh, A Nuo, be careful to keep a little bit of my image in front of beautiful women!" At this time, several personnel carried a girl out of the general anatomy room on a stretcher.This girl had seen it by the playground before. She was one of the students who planned to come to the dissection room with Huang Luoyi for an internship. Several students who came with her were taking care of her.Apart from his pale face, his consciousness seemed to be quite clear, and Huang Luoyi and Huang Luoyi also leaned over to cheer them up and comfort them. I still don't understand what happened in the autopsy room. Xu Dashan, several criminal policemen and people from the hospital went to the wall mentioned by Arnold earlier.After clearing away the obstacles that blocked my vision, I finally saw the scene in front of me clearly, and said "ah" unconsciously. The mottled concrete walls and the blood-red messy big characters, in the dark and quiet general dissection room, were quite shockingly reflected in my retina. On the ground was a dark, lifeless corpse, lying prone on the dry and hard floor in an extremely unnatural posture.The last word "Rong" on the wall dragged its long tail down the right angle between the wall and the floor, connecting with the outstretched palm of the right hand of the corpse on the ground. The palm of the corpse was holding something that looked like a bottle. Items such as spray paint. The criminal team leader frowned.When I saw clearly that the naked and shriveled corpse turned out to be a sacrifice for dissection, I could only stand there blankly.
