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

In the abandoned factory, darkness and silence intertwined into an invisible net, tightly binding Xu Youran and Situ Han. The alarm sounded shrilly, and the roar of the machines was like the whisper of death, foreshadowing unknown dangers.

"You Ran, we must find a way out." Situ Han's voice sounded particularly firm in the darkness. He held Xu Youran's hand tightly, trying to give her strength.

Xu Youran took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "There must be a trap here. Let's split up and look for it."

The two began to search around the factory in the dim light. Just then, a slight sound attracted their attention.

After a careful search, Xu Youran found a control room hidden in a corner. The control room was filled with intricate circuits and buttons, which were obviously used to control the entire factory.

"Look here, these buttons should correspond to different machines." Xu Youran said, pointing to the control panel on the wall.

Situ Han quickly stepped forward and checked the buttons one by one, and finally found a button marked "Emergency Stop". He pressed it without hesitation, and suddenly, the roar of the factory stopped abruptly, and the alarm sound disappeared.

As the lights gradually came back on, the two men discovered a huge pit in the center of the factory, with some strange metal fragments and several yellowed photos scattered around the edge of the pit.

"These photos are the same as the ones we saw in Lao Li's bun shop." Xu Youran picked up a photo and said after comparing them carefully.

Situ Han nodded, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes: "It seems that this is the base where the mysterious man made the meat buns. He used these machines and metal fragments to make those weird meat fillings."

In order to find the trace of the mysterious man, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to conduct a comprehensive search of the factory. They found a secret passage in the basement of the factory, at the end of which was a secret laboratory.

The laboratory was filled with all kinds of strange equipment and reagents, and the walls were covered with newspaper clippings and hand-drawn maps about the S City Massacre in the Republic of China. On a table, there was an unfinished communication device, which was obviously used to contact the outside world.

"This is his lair." Situ Han said in a deep voice, "We must find him as soon as possible and stop his plan."

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and a man in black suddenly rushed out from the shadows, holding a dagger and heading straight for Situ Han.

Xu Youran reacted quickly, dodging sideways and pulling out a pistol, aiming it at the black-clad man's heart. However, the black-clad man did not seem to be afraid, but instead showed a strange smile.

"Situ Han, do you think you can win?" The voice of the man in black was hoarse and familiar. It was the mysterious man who had been hiding in the dark.

"You finally show up." Situ stared at the mysterious man coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

The mysterious man laughed loudly, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I just want to show you how I realize my revenge plan step by step."

"Revenge? Who is your target?" Xu Youran asked.

The mysterious man put away his smile, his eyes turned cold, "It's someone you would never expect. Thirty years ago, they killed my family and left me homeless in a fight for power. Now, I want to make them feel the same pain."

"But your actions have hurt innocent people!" Xu Youran retorted angrily.

The mysterious man sneered: "Innocent? In this chaotic world, who is truly innocent? I just let those self-righteous people have a taste of despair."

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a clear siren suddenly sounded. It turned out that Xu Youran had quietly notified the police when she discovered the laboratory.

With the arrival of the police, the mysterious man was finally subdued. However, during the interrogation, he refused to reveal more information and just kept repeating the words: "Revenge, never ends."

Xu Youran and Situ Han stood outside the interrogation room, looking at the tightly closed iron door, feeling mixed emotions. They knew that although the meat bun case had come to an end for the time being, the real challenge had just begun.

"You Ran, what should we do next?" Situ Han turned to look at Xu Youran, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Xu Youran shook her head slightly, her eyes firm. "We will continue to investigate until all the mysteries are solved. I believe that behind every case, there is its own truth."

Just as the two were about to leave the police station, a police officer rushed over and handed them a report. The report clearly stated: "The disappearance of a woman in a nightclub in S City is suspected to be related to the murder of the whole family."

Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other, and both had an ominous premonition in their hearts. They knew that a new case had quietly arrived, and this intricate web was leading them into deeper darkness step by step.

"It seems that our battle has just begun." Xu Youran said softly.

Situ Han nodded, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding light: "Then let us continue to move forward. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we must face them together."

Night falls again, and the dim lights of S City hide unknown secrets. Xu Youran and Situ Han walk side by side on the way back to the police station. Although their steps are heavy, their eyes reveal a firmer determination.

"You Ran, do you think the disappearance of the woman in the nightclub will be the key to solving all the mysteries?" Situ Han asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his words.

Xu Youran pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly: "It's hard to say now, but every case seems to have some subtle connection. The disappearance of this karaoke girl may hide more clues."

She looked up into the distance. The city of S under the moonlight seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil, making people yearn for it and fear it. "We must be more cautious. This time we must not only find out the truth, but also protect innocent people."

Back at the police station, the two immediately began to prepare. They reviewed all the case files related to the S City murder case in recent years, trying to find new clues. At the same time, they also arranged for people to conduct secret investigations in major karaoke bars in S City, looking for any clues related to the missing woman.

In the middle of a busy investigation, Xu Youran received an anonymous letter. There was no information about the sender on the envelope, only a few big words written in red ink: "Midnight song, where does the soul end?"

She opened the envelope and found a yellowed old photo inside. The photo showed a woman wearing a gorgeous cheongsam and smiling. The background was a karaoke bar that had been abandoned for many years. On the back of the photo, it was written in fine handwriting: "She is just the first..."

Xu Youran's heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately realized that this letter was closely related to the missing case she was investigating. She looked up at Situ Han and found that he was also staring at the photo in her hand, with a solemn look in his eyes.

"It seems that we have to act in advance." Situ Han said in a deep voice, "This letter is from someone who deliberately led us to that abandoned karaoke bar."

Xu Youran nodded and put the photo away. The two of them then made a detailed action plan. They knew that this battle with an unknown enemy would be a double test of wisdom and courage.

Night falls again. On the streets of S City, only a few street lamps emit dim light. Xu Youran and Situ Han sneak into the abandoned karaoke bar, where a dusty secret seems to be waiting for them to uncover...
