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

The night was as dark as ink, and the streets of S City were quiet and deep. Only the occasional chirping of nocturnal birds broke the silence. Xu Youran and Situ Han walked side by side on the way back to the police station. Although their pace was slow, different thoughts were surging in their hearts.

Xu Youran (quietly): "Han, do you think those clues can really point to the murder case thirty years ago?"

Situ Han (with deep eyes): "You Ran, every web has its thread. As long as we are patient, we can always find the key to unlock it. Moreover, in this case, it is obvious that someone did it on purpose, trying to lead us in a certain direction."

The next morning, Xu Youran and Situ Han returned to the abandoned warehouse again. This time, they brought more sophisticated equipment and prepared to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

Xu Youran (putting on gloves and carefully checking every corner of the warehouse): "There are signs of deliberate cleaning here, but look at these tiny scratches, they should have been left when the items were moved before."

Situ Han (squatting and observing the ground with a magnifying glass): "Indeed, the direction and depth of these scratches are different from the wear and tear elsewhere in the warehouse. They are likely to have been left there recently."

Following these scratches, they gradually discovered a secret basement entrance hidden deep in the warehouse. The basement was full of old documents and obsolete electronic equipment. Obviously, this was once an important base for criminal gangs.

As the investigation deepened, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to visit the victims and their families again to try to get more clues from them.

Victim’s family member (with tears streaming down his face): “Officer, I really don’t know why they did this. My daughter is so young, her life has just begun!”

Xu Youran (holding her hand gently): "Please believe us, we will do our best to catch the murderer and seek justice for your daughter."

Through a series of patient consolation and questioning, they collected more information about the criminal gangs and the changes in the victims' psychological state before and after being violated.

Using the clues obtained from the warehouse basement, Xu Youran and Situ Han began to track down the suspects. They found that the organizational structure of this criminal gang was extremely complex, with members spread all over the country, and even had inextricable ties with international criminal organizations.

Situ Han (staring at the data on the computer screen): "Their capital flows are very complicated, but there are always some commonalities. Most of these transactions are conducted through an offshore company called 'Shadow'."

Xu Youran (flipping through the documents): "'Shadow'? This name doesn't sound simple. Also, I noticed that the registered address of this company is actually near the area where the murder took place thirty years ago."

During the investigation, the relationship between Xu Youran and Situ Han also underwent subtle changes. From the initial partners to the later confidants, they saw more and more trust and dependence in each other's eyes.

Situ Han (looking into the distance, with a firm tone): "You Ran, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will stay by your side and uncover these mysteries together."

Xu Youran (smiling, tears in her eyes): "As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

Just when they are about to uncover the true face of the "Shadow" company, a sudden piece of news breaks the calm - a kidnapping case occurred in the Japanese Consulate in S City of the Republic of China. The victim is a well-known historian who holds key evidence about a family murder case thirty years ago.

Police representative (urgent report): "Captain Situ, Officer Xu, the situation is urgent and we must act immediately. According to reliable information, the kidnappers are likely to be related to the previous criminal gang. They seem to want to use the evidence in the hands of this historian to achieve some ulterior motive."

As the news of the kidnapping came in, Xu Youran and Situ Han's attention was immediately drawn to it. They knew that this was not just a simple kidnapping case, but the key to uncovering the truth of the murder of a family thirty years ago.

Xu Youran (clenched fists, eyes firm): "We can't wait any longer, we must act immediately. This time, we must completely destroy this criminal network and seek justice for all the victims."

Situ Han (nodding, eyes burning): "That's right, and I always feel that there is a bigger conspiracy behind all this. We must not only rescue the victims, but also uncover the mystery that has been hidden for thirty years."

As night falls, S City is once again shrouded in darkness. But Xu Youran and Situ Han know that they are about to step into a darker and more complicated world. In this world, they will use wisdom and courage to write their own legends.

On the way to the Japanese consulate, Xu Youran suddenly received an anonymous text message with only one sentence: "The truth is often hidden in the most inconspicuous places."

Xu Youran (brows furrowed, looking at Situ Han): "What do you think this text message means?"

Situ Han (pondering for a moment): "It could be a hint, or it could be a trap. But no matter what, we can't ignore any clue. Since it mentions the 'truth', it means we are one step closer to the secret from thirty years ago."

Xu Youran (nods): "I agree. This time, we not only have to save people, but also find the hidden clue and completely solve this mystery."

The two looked at each other, with a determined look in their eyes. They knew that the road ahead would be full of unknowns and dangers, but they also understood that only by moving forward courageously could they reveal the truth and bring justice to the victims.

With the roar of the police car, they rushed towards the direction of the Japanese consulate, their hearts full of expectations and determination for the unknown challenge. In a corner of this city, a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness were watching them coldly, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control.

Just as Xu Youran and Situ Han were about to arrive at the Japanese consulate, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly rang. After answering the call, a deep and unfamiliar voice slowly sounded on the other end of the phone: "Officer Xu, Captain Situ, I know what you are looking for. If you want to rescue the hostages, come to the abandoned factory in the old city alone. Remember, it can only be you, Captain Situ."

When Situ Han heard this, his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle. He glanced at Xu Youran, and they both nodded tacitly.

Situ Han (in a deep voice): "Okay, I'll go alone. But if you dare to harm the hostages, I guarantee you won't have a good ending."

After hanging up the phone, Situ Han looked at Xu Youran, his eyes full of reluctance and determination.

Situ Han (gently): "You Ran, you stay here and wait for my news. I will come back safely."

Xu Youran (clenched fists, eyes slightly red): "You must be careful, Situ Han. I'll wait for you to come back."

As Situ Han left, Xu Youran's heart was filled with anxiety and worry. But she knew that she couldn't become a burden to Situ Han, so she had to wait here and make all preparations just in case.

At this moment, in a corner of an abandoned factory in the old city, a battle between justice and evil is about to begin. In this battle, truth, conspiracy, love and hatred are intertwined, forming a complex and terrifying serial mystery. All of this will be revealed in the next chapter...
