Forensic Doctor: Finding the Way Back to the Mystery of Ancient Realms

The night was as dark as ink, and Situ Han's study was brightly lit. He held the anonymous letter with the embroidered shoes in his hand, his eyes deep and determined. Xu Youran stood aside, frowning, obviously thinking about the deep meaning behind the letter.

Situ Han (sounding): "This is not just a warning, but also a provocation. They seem to be leading us towards a bigger conspiracy."

Xu Youran (nods, with a firm tone): "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must not back down. This time, I want to personally uncover the secret behind the embroidered shoes."

The two looked at each other and knew each other's feelings without saying anything. They decided to take immediate action and investigate the new clues in this serial mystery.

The next morning, Xu Youran and Situ Han came to the most famous dance hall in City S, Night Shanghai. It used to be a gathering place for the upper class, but now it is shrouded in a mysterious shadow.

They first came to the dance floor where the accident happened last night, which had been blocked by the police and the smell of burning still lingered in the air. Xu Youran put on gloves and carefully examined the charred remains in the middle of the dance floor, trying to find any possible clues.

Xu Youran (whispering): "Looking at the degree of blackening, the deceased should have been killed by the instantaneous high temperature. But the strange thing is that there is no sign of fire in the dance hall."

Situ Han (squatting down and checking the surroundings): "Moreover, the deceased's clothes were almost intact, only the dancing shoes were burnt. This means that the heat source was most likely directed at the dancing shoes."

Following this line of thought, they continued searching in the dance hall and finally found an abandoned embroidered shoe in the corner of the dressing room. The shoe had an exquisite pattern embroidered on it, which was strikingly similar to the embroidered shoe in the anonymous letter.

Xu Youran (picks up the embroidered shoes and examines them carefully): "This shoe...it seems to be related to the murder case thirty years ago."

As the investigation deepened, they found the deceased's family members, who were heartbroken but still tried their best to provide all the information about the deceased.

The victim's mother (with tears streaming down her face): "My daughter...she likes dancing and often comes to this dance hall. She said that recently someone has been watching her in the dark and she is very scared."

Xu Youran (gently soothing): "Auntie, please rest assured. We will definitely find the real murderer and seek justice for your daughter."

Through questioning, they learned that the deceased had received an anonymous letter before his death, which mentioned the embroidered shoes and a mysterious agreement. This made them more convinced that this case was inextricably linked to the previous serial mystery cases.

In order to find the suspect, Xu Youran and Situ Han began to sort out the names of all the people related to the case. They found that there was an intricate network of relationships between these people, involving multiple fields such as politics, business and the military.

During the tracking process, they met a businessman named Li Mo, who was one of the pursuers of the deceased and a frequent visitor to the dance hall. His appearance made the case more complicated and confusing.

Li Mo (looking a little nervous when asked): "I...I did like her, but I definitely didn't kill her. I was in the dance hall that night, but I was drinking at the bar the whole time and didn't leave."

Situ Han (sharpening his eyes): "You indeed did not leave the bar, but what about your men? Is it possible that they did something for you?"

Li Mo's face suddenly changed when he heard this, but he regained his composure immediately. He denied any connection with the case and provided his alibi. However, Xu Youran and Situ Han did not let him off easily, and they decided to continue their investigation.

During the investigation, they also met many other guest characters, such as the manager of the dance hall, the waiter, and the friends of the deceased, etc. Everyone has different psychological characteristics, some are fearful, some are greedy, and some look innocent.

The dance hall manager (answered cautiously): "Our dance hall has always been very safe, and nothing like this has ever happened. I hope the police can solve the case as soon as possible and restore our reputation."

Waiter (trembling): "I... I'm just an employee. I don't know anything. I was cleaning that night and didn't notice what happened on the dance floor."

Through these conversations and observations, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually pieced together the outline of the case and identified several possible suspects.

In the process of in-depth investigation, they found that there seemed to be some subtle connection between these cases. Each case is like a piece of a puzzle. Only by piecing them all together can we see the whole picture of the truth.

Xu Youran (thinking): "These cases seem independent, but in fact they are closely linked. Each of them left behind clues like the embroidered shoes, as if telling us a story spanning thirty years."

Situ Han (nodding, with a deep look): "Moreover, the locations, times, and even identities of the victims of these cases all seem to have been carefully planned. The people behind them are not only meticulous, but also cruel and have clear goals."

They decided to start with the embroidered shoes, tracing their origins and the meaning behind them. By visiting old craftsmen and consulting ancient books, they gradually uncovered the secret behind the embroidered shoes - it was once a family heirloom of a prominent family in S City, and that family was the victim of a family extermination case thirty years ago.

Xu Youran (shocked): "This... How is this possible? Could it be that all this is for revenge?"

Situ Han (solemnly): "It is very likely. But revenge is only a symptom, there may be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it. We must act carefully so as not to alert the enemy."

During the investigation, the relationship between Xu Youran and Situ Han also quietly changed. From the initial partners to the later mutual support, the trust and dependence between them deepened.

Xu Youran (looking at Situ Han with gratitude in her eyes): "Thank you, Situ Han. If it weren't for you, I would have given up long ago."

Situ Han (smiling, with gentle eyes): "We are partners, aren't we? No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together."

Just when they were about to uncover the mystery of the embroidered shoes, an unexpected news came - a charred corpse appeared again on the dance floor of the S City Ballroom, and this time, the deceased was directly related to the family murder case thirty years ago.

Xu Youran (clenching her fists, anger burning in her eyes): "This is definitely not a coincidence! We are getting closer and closer to the truth."

Situ Han (calm analysis): "It seems that our enemies can't wait any longer. This time, we must catch them all in one fell swoop."

As night fell, the neon lights of the S City dance hall were still flashing, but behind this bright and beautiful appearance, there was endless darkness and conspiracy. Xu Youran and Situ Han stood side by side outside the dance hall, looking at the door that was about to be opened again, their hearts filled with determination.

Just as they were about to enter the dance hall, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a note. The note read: "Want to know the truth? See you at the old house at midnight."

The old house, where the murder happened thirty years ago, is now a ruin with weeds all over it. This note is undoubtedly a provocation to them, and it is also the key to reveal all the mysteries.

Xu Youran (holding the note tightly, with a firm look in her eyes): "Situ Han, let's go. Whether there are mountains of swords or seas of fire ahead, we must face it together."

Situ Han (nods, his eyes flickering with determination): "Okay. Let's work together to uncover this thirty-year-old mystery and bring peace back to S City."
