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

In an abandoned factory in the wind and snow, Situ Han and Xu Youran stood side by side, looking at the captured "Dark Night Messenger" leader who was just a substitute, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes.

"This is just the beginning." Situ Han said in a deep voice, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.

Xu Youran nodded, her eyes firm: "We must find the real mastermind behind this and seek justice for those innocent victims."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation. A special police officer from the S City Police Department hurried over, holding a secret report: "Commander, Miss Youran, there is a new situation!"

The two men quickly took the secret report, which briefly recorded a shocking news - a well-known noodle restaurant in S City was about to become the next target of poisoning.

"It seems that our enemies have no intention of giving us a chance to breathe." Situ Han frowned and handed the secret report to Xu Youran.

After Xu Youran finished reading, a cold look flashed across her eyes: "If that's the case, then we should make arrangements in advance and let them fall into the trap."

After returning to the police station, Situ Han immediately convened the elite team of the S City police, including police representative Captain Li, intelligence expert Dr. Zhao and others, to discuss countermeasures.

"We must locate the suspect as soon as possible and set up surveillance around the noodle shop in advance." Situ Han spread out the map of S City on the conference table and gently ran his fingers across the streets.

Captain Li nodded in agreement: "I have sent plainclothes police to patrol the area near the noodle shop, and have also stepped up background checks on the employees inside the noodle shop."

Dr. Zhao made a technical suggestion: "We can use surveillance systems and facial recognition technology to screen suspects who may appear near noodle shops."

Although the poisoning incident had not yet occurred in the noodle shop, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to conduct a comprehensive investigation in advance. They put on plain clothes, sneaked into the noodle shop, and carefully observed every corner.

"The ventilation system here is quite complicated. If poison is committed, it is very likely to be carried out through here." Xu Youran said, pointing to the ventilation ducts on the ceiling.

Situ Han nodded, then called the noodle shop owner to ask: "Has anyone come here recently? Or has anything unusual happened?"

The noodle shop owner recalled nervously: "Except for a few beggars wandering around the door occasionally, I didn't see any suspicious people."

Xu Youran keenly caught the details in the boss's words: "Beggars? What are their characteristics?"

The boss shook his head: "They were all ragged people, and I couldn't see their faces clearly."

Despite this, Xu Youran still kept this clue in mind and decided to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

Through the screening of surveillance systems and facial recognition technology, the police locked in several suspicious suspects. However, these people did not seem to have a direct connection with the "Night Messenger".

"Did we go in the wrong direction?" Captain Li said somewhat frustratedly.

Xu Youran shook her head. "Not necessarily. Maybe these suspects are just pawns used by the mastermind. We need to dig deeper into their backgrounds."

Therefore, Xu Youran and Situ Han personally tracked and investigated these suspects. They found that these suspects were inextricably linked to some gangster forces in S City.

"It seems that there is indeed a bigger conspiracy behind this." Situ Han said in a deep voice.

During the investigation, Xu Youran and Situ Han also faced pressure and challenges from all sides. Not only did they have to deal with threats and obstructions from their enemies, but they also had to endure questions and accusations from the victims' families.

By chance, Xu Youran met the mother of one of the victims. She held Xu Youran's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "My daughter just came here to eat a bowl of noodles! Why did she have to suffer like this?"

An indescribable feeling of bitterness and guilt welled up in Xu Youran's heart. She knew her duty and mission as a detective, but when faced with these innocent victims, she couldn't help but feel insignificant and powerless.

However, it is these emotional entanglements and inner struggles that make Xu Youran more determined and resolute. She knows that only by uncovering the truth and catching the real murderer can these victims rest in peace and get justice.

After days of intense investigation and surveillance, the police finally got hold of the suspect's whereabouts and poisoning plan. However, just as they were about to close the net, they suddenly received an unexpected call - the noodle shop poisoning case had already happened in advance!

"What?!" Xu Youran and Situ Han exclaimed almost at the same time. They immediately rushed to the noodle shop and saw the scene was in chaos. The victims fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Medical staff were urgently rescuing them.

"This is impossible!" Xu Youran shook her head in disbelief. "We have clearly already made arrangements!"

Situ Han pursed his lips tightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It seems that our enemies are much more cunning than we thought."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard and a figure in chef's uniform rushed out from the kitchen with a glass bottle full of medicine in his hand. It was the culprit of the poisoning!

"Stop!" Situ Han reacted quickly, drew his gun and pointed it at the man, while Xu Youran followed closely behind, ready to subdue the other person at any time.

However, the man in the chef's uniform seemed to be prepared. He suddenly turned around and ran towards the alley at a speed that was astonishing. Situ Han and Xu Youran chased after him without hesitation, shuttling through the narrow and complex alleys.

"He seems to have led us here on purpose." Xu Youran analyzed as he chased. She noticed that these alleys were dead ends and there seemed to be no way out.

Situ Han nodded, his eyes more alert: "Be careful, this may be a trap."

Just as they were about to reach the end of the alley, a thick smoke suddenly poured out from the abandoned house next to them, blocking their view. Situ Han quickly signaled Xu You to retreat, and at the same time shot a smoke bomb in front of him, trying to disperse the smoke.

But when the smoke cleared, the man in the chef's uniform had disappeared. Instead, there was a piece of paper on the ground with bright red handwriting saying, "The game has just begun, Situ Han, Xu Youran, are you ready for the real challenge?"

"This..." Xu Youran picked up the note and felt a chill. She knew that this was not just a simple poisoning case, but also a provocation and warning from the mastermind.

Situ Han clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger and determination: "We won't let them succeed. You Ran, we must work more closely together to uncover this intricate web."

Xu Youran nodded, her eyes firm: "Yes, we must let them know that justice may be late, but it will never be absent."

Just as the two were about to leave the scene, a faint ringtone suddenly rang out. Xu Youran took out her phone from her pocket and saw an anonymous text message: "Poisoning the noodle shop is just the beginning. The real target is you - Xu Youran. Be careful of the people around you."

Seeing this message, Xu Youran's face turned pale instantly. She looked up at Situ Han, her eyes full of anxiety and confusion: "What...what does this mean?"

Situ Han frowned and quickly analyzed the meaning of the text message: "It seems that the enemy has noticed your existence and has begun to target you. We must be more cautious and strengthen our protection of you."

Xu Youran nodded, but her heart was filled with uneasiness. She realized that she might have fallen into a more dangerous and complicated situation. Who is the mastermind behind all this? What is their real purpose? All these mysteries will be gradually revealed in future investigations...
