The sun shines obliquely into the Broken Stage Theater, but it cannot illuminate the secrets hidden in it. Xu Youran and Situ Han stand side by side, their eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the desolate land.

Xu Youran (frowning): "Every speck of dust is like an unfinished story. We must be careful not to miss any details."

Situ Han (nods and picks up the flashlight): "Yes, let's go, start with the stage."

They walked onto the stage slowly, each step seeming to be treading on past memories. Situ Han carefully checked every gap on the stage, while Xu Youran paid attention to the decorations and props around him.

Situ Han (squatting, pointing at the crack in the floor): "You Ran, look here, there are traces of dragging, and not just once or twice."

Xu Youran (squatting to check): "Indeed, there are still these tiny fibers, which should be left by the children's clothes. They have experienced too much pain here."

At this time, the technical team of the S City police also joined in. They brought professional equipment and began to collect comprehensive evidence.

Police representative (serious): "We must ensure that every piece of evidence is properly preserved. This will be the key to uncovering the truth."

Questioning the Victims: The Truth in Tears**

As the investigation deepened, Xu Youran and Situ Han were arranged to interview the victims and their families. In a quiet meeting room, the air was filled with heaviness and uneasiness.

The victim's family member (choked up): "My daughter...she was so young, how could she encounter such a thing..."

Xu Youran (gently): "Please rest assured, we will do everything we can to find out the truth and seek justice for your daughter."

She turned to look at Situ Han, and the two exchanged a firm look.

Situ Han (to the victim): "Little boy, can you tell your uncle everything you remember? No matter how small it is."

The victim, a thin little girl, had a look of fear and hope in her eyes. She began to talk about those dark days in a trembling voice.

Little girl (voice trembling): "They... locked me in a small dark room. I was scared every day. Sometimes, someone would come to give me an injection, and then I would fall asleep..."

Tracking the Suspect: The Fog of Cyberspace**

Based on the victim's description and clues from the on-site investigation, Xu Youran and Situ Han began to track down the suspects. They found that this criminal gang was extremely cunning, using the Internet to communicate and trade, and their whereabouts were uncertain.

Xu Youran (typing on the keyboard, facing the computer screen)**: "Their communication records are all encrypted, but there are always loopholes."

Situ Han (standing behind her, staring at the screen) "Found it. A recurring IP address. It's likely one of their bases."

They quickly reported the discovery to the police and formulated a careful action plan. In a late-night raid, they successfully destroyed a criminal den, but the main suspect escaped.

The captured suspect was taken to the interrogation room. Facing the sharp gazes of Xu Youran and Situ Han, he tried to remain calm.

Suspect (sneer): "Do you think you can catch me? I'm just a small fry."

Xu Youran (calmly): "Small character? Then can you explain why there are so many funds of unknown origin in your bank account?"

Situ Han (showing evidence): "And these call records. We have recorded all the conversations between you and other members of the criminal gang."

Faced with a powerful psychological offensive and overwhelming evidence, the suspect finally broke down and confessed to some of his crimes, but he remained tight-lipped about the core members of the criminal gang and their deeper plans.

Just when the investigation seemed to be making some progress, Xu Youran found an inconspicuous note among the suspect's belongings, with a mysterious string of numbers and letters written on it.

Xu Youran (pondering): "This string of characters... seems to be related to the previous rape cases."

Situ Han (took the note, frowning): "You mean, this is not just a case of shattering the stage? There is a more complicated network at work?"

Xu Youran (nods, eyes firm): "We have to continue investigating. We can't let more innocent people get hurt."

The two looked at each other and understood that this was not just the end of a case, but also the beginning of another, more difficult challenge.

As night falls, S City is once again shrouded in darkness. But Xu Youran and Situ Han know that no matter how deep the darkness is, there will always be a beam of light that will penetrate the clouds and illuminate the way forward. They hold the clues in their hands tightly, ready to face the next challenge - the clues in the fog of rape. And the mysterious combination of numbers and letters is like an unsolved puzzle, waiting for them to uncover it one by one in the days to come.

As the shadow of the shattered stage gradually dissipated, S City was shrouded in another layer of even more bizarre fog. The mysterious combination of numbers and letters, like a beacon in the fog, led Xu Youran and Situ Han deeper into a more complex criminal network.
