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

Chapter 35: The Return from the Mist: A New Trend in S City

The first rays of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the temporary crime scene of the S City Police Station - a luxury train carriage parked on a remote track. Xu Youran and Situ Han, dressed in neat detective outfits, stepped into this space shrouded in haze.

"Let's start with the body," Xu Youran said softly, her eyes sharp and focused, as if she could penetrate all appearances and get to the essence. She carefully examined every wound on the victim and found that they were neatly arranged, showing the murderer's high knife skills, while also revealing a cold and ruthless aura.

"These wounds are clean and neat, with no unnecessary movements." Xu Youran frowned and thought, "The murderer is likely to have received professional training, or at least has a high talent in this area."

Situ Han squatted down and carefully checked every corner of the carriage. His eyes lingered on a newspaper that was casually discarded under the seat for a moment, then he carefully picked up a corner of the newspaper with tweezers and found a line of words written in tiny handwriting on the back of the newspaper: "The game has just begun."

"It seems that our opponent is not only cunning, but also very much enjoys this cat and mouse game." Situ Han said in a deep voice.

After leaving the carriage, Xu Youran and Situ Han went to the victim's home for in-depth questioning. The victim was a middle-aged businessman named Li Ming, who had a certain status in the business community of S City, but was obviously not impeccable.

"Does Mr. Li Ming have any special enemies?" Xu Youran asked Li Ming's wife, a lady with a haggard face but trying hard to suppress her grief.

"He...he has always been very cautious and never mentioned any enemies." Li Ming's wife hesitated. "But recently he has been very nervous and often suffers from insomnia. He said he felt someone was watching him, but I thought it was just because of the excessive pressure from work."

"Surveillance?" Situ Han keenly caught this key word. "Did he mention any specific details, such as what the people who monitored him looked like, or how they did it?"

"No, he just expressed his feeling, and there is no substantial evidence." Li Ming's wife shook her head, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

At this time, Li Ming's eldest son Li Hao walked in. He looked calmer than his mother, but the anger in his eyes was hard to hide. "I know who did it!" He suddenly said, "My father has been investigating a secret about a family murder case thirty years ago. He suspects that the case is not that simple and involves many powerful people. He may have been retaliated for this."

Based on the clues provided by Li Hao, Xu Youran and Situ Han began to track down possible suspects. They first came to an old neighborhood in S City, where many gangs gathered. In a seemingly ordinary teahouse, they found a gangster who might know the inside story.

"I heard that you know a lot about things in this city?" Xu Youran handed over a cup of tea with a smile, but her eyes should not be underestimated.

"Hey, that depends on what it is." The gangster took the tea and took a sip pretending to be relaxed, but his eyes were flickering.

"How much do you know about Li Ming's death and the family massacre thirty years ago?" Situ Han asked directly.

The gangster's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. "I dare not say such things, or I will lose my head."

"But if you can provide valuable clues, we may be able to protect your safety." Xu Youran threw out the bait at the right time.

After some bargaining, the gangster finally gave in. "I've heard of an organization called 'Dark Night'. They have been secretly controlling some underground transactions in S City. Li Ming's death is likely related to them. As for the murder case thirty years ago, it's even more complicated. I heard that it involved some high-ranking figures at the time."

Officer Zhang, a representative of the S City Police: Officer Zhang is a middle-aged man with a stern face and an unquestionable sense of justice in his eyes. "Each of these cases seems to be carefully planned. Although our police have been working hard, we always feel that we are being restrained by an invisible force." He revealed his helplessness and determination in his conversation with Xu Youran and Situ Han.

Li Hao, the eldest son of the victim: Li Hao is young and tenacious. He is full of anger and resentment towards his father's death. "I must find the real murderer and seek justice for my father. No matter how difficult the road is, I will never give up." His tone is firm and powerful, revealing an indomitable spirit.

One of the possible suspects - gang leader Zhao Long: Zhao Long is a burly man with a scar on his face. He sits in a luxurious office with a sneer on his face. "I don't know what you want to know. But I can tell you that in this city, it's better not to know some things too clearly." His words reveal threats and warnings, but his eyes hide fear of the unknown.

As the investigation deepened, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually discovered a series of shocking secrets. It turned out that the "Dark Night" organization was not only involved in underground transactions, but also had a close connection with the murder case thirty years ago. Behind that seemingly simple murder case, there was a complicated power struggle and family grievances.

They discovered that the victim, Li Ming, was killed because he accidentally touched the core secret of this huge network of interests - an ancient legend about huge wealth, political conspiracy and family revenge. This secret is like a time bomb. Once it is revealed, it will cause turmoil in S City and even the entire political arena of the Republic of China.

In the process of tracking down the "Dark Night" organization, Xu Youran and Situ Han encountered many difficulties. Not only did they have to face the direct threat from the gang forces, but they also had to be vigilant against those enemies hiding in the dark and whose identities were unknown. However, they did not back down, but instead became more determined to reveal the truth.

In order to obtain more information about the Dark Night organization, Xu Youran decided to infiltrate it herself. Using her wisdom and courage, she successfully disguised herself as a small person seeking asylum and won the trust of a low-level member of the organization.

"What's your name?" The low-level member looked at Xu Youran warily.

"My name is Lin Wan'er. I'm an orphan. I just want to find a place to settle down in this chaotic world." Xu Youran cleverly fabricated her identity, with innocence and desire in her eyes.

With the help of this low-level member, Xu Youran gradually came into contact with the core members of the "Dark Night" organization. She discovered that this organization was much larger and more complex than she had imagined, and the political forces and commercial interests involved behind it were even more staggering.

At the same time, Situ Han was not idle. He used his resources in the military and police circles to conduct a comprehensive investigation and monitoring of the "Dark Night" organization. He discovered some contradictions and disagreements within the organization, as well as their subtle relationship with certain senior officials.

After a series of thrilling battles of wits and courage, Xu Youran and Situ Han finally got enough evidence to wipe out the "Dark Night" organization. However, on the eve of their action, a more shocking truth surfaced.

It turns out that the murder of a family thirty years ago was not a simple revenge or robbery, but a political conspiracy carefully planned by high-level officials. In order to cover up their crimes and gain greater benefits, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of innocent people. The reason why Li Ming was killed was because he accidentally discovered this secret and tried to make it public.

When they learned the truth, Xu Youran and Situ Han were shocked and angry as never before. They realized that they should not only seek justice for Li Ming, but also for those innocent victims.

Just as Xu Youran and Situ Han were preparing to bring the high-ranking officials behind the "Dark Night" organization to justice, a more complicated case quietly descended upon S City - the murder case of the richest man in S City during the Republic of China. This case not only involved huge wealth and family grievances, but was also inextricably linked to previous cases.

"It seems that our battle has just begun." Xu Youran looked into the distance, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Situ Han clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must go on together until all the truth is revealed."

In the night, the figures of the two gradually disappeared in the night of S City, leaving only the creepy mysterious mark swaying in the wind...

"The Murder Case at the Manor of the Richest Man in S City in the Republic of China", a more complicated mystery is about to unfold. In this world full of conspiracy and betrayal, how will Xu Youran and Situ Han work together to solve the strange case? What kind of shocking secrets are hidden behind the thirty-year-old mystery? All the answers will be revealed in the next chapter... And in this game, who will be the next victim? Who is the real murderer hiding in the dark? Stay tuned!
