Forensic Doctor: Finding the Way Back to the Mystery of Ancient Realms
Chapter 61: The fog is thick, the precursor of the love murder
The first rays of sunlight in the morning had not yet completely dispelled the darkness of the night, but Xu Youran and Situ Han were already standing outside the threshold of the teahouse. Inside the teahouse, the air was filled with a faint scent of tea and a barely perceptible smell of burning, which was the trace left by last night's tragedy.
Xu Youran put on gloves and walked into the teahouse. Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk, sweeping every corner. The first thing she noticed was the tea sets scattered around the deceased. Each piece seemed to be placed deliberately, but revealed a kind of careless chaos. She squatted down, gently picked up a teacup, and rubbed her fingertips on the edge of the cup, feeling the subtle touch left on it. "In addition to the fingerprints of the deceased, there are at least two other people on this teacup." She whispered to Situ Han.
Situ Han stood in the middle of the teahouse, looking around, and his eyes finally fell on a half-open window. "The position of the window matches the direction where the deceased fell, but if it was a hidden weapon shot from outside the window, why was there no trace left at the scene?" He frowned and thought, then walked to the window, carefully inspected the window frame and glass, trying to find any possible clues.
After leaving the teahouse, Xu Youran and Situ Han went to the victim's home. The deceased's wife, Mrs. Li, had already burst into tears. Her eyes showed both deep affection for her husband and fear of the unknown. "He...how could he be like this? We agreed to grow old together..." Mrs. Li's words were intermittent and full of helplessness.
Xiao Cui was crying silently. In her eyes, besides sadness, there was a hint of indescribable complex emotions. Under Xu Youran's patient guidance, she finally spoke: "My father has been acting strange recently. He always goes out late at night and always comes back with a lot on his mind. Once, I overheard him arguing with someone, and he mentioned something like 'a secret from thirty years ago' and 'revenge'."
This sentence was like a key that opened the door to the truth. Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other and knew in their hearts that this case was much more complicated than it seemed.
Based on the clues provided by Xiao Cui, Xu Youran and Situ Han began to check one by one those who had grudges against the teahouse owner. They first found several competitors who went bankrupt due to poor management, but after investigation, they found that although they had resentment towards the teahouse owner, they all had alibis at the time of the crime.
Later, they turned their attention to Mr. Wang, an old friend of the teahouse owner. Mr. Wang and the teahouse owner had a deep friendship, but later they became enemies due to a misunderstanding. However, after in-depth investigation, they found that although Mr. Wang was dissatisfied with the teahouse owner, he was traveling abroad at the time of the crime and did not have the conditions to commit the crime.
Just when the investigation reached a deadlock, Captain Li, a representative of the S City Police, brought a key clue - a mysterious person frequently appeared near the teahouse and had many secret contacts with the teahouse owner. The identity of this mysterious person is a mystery, but every time he appears, he is extremely cautious and seems to intentionally avoid everyone's attention.
The joining of Captain Li brought new vitality to the investigation. He brought the police's internal surveillance video and call records of the mysterious person. Although the information was limited, it was enough to prove that this person was inextricably linked to the case.
At this time, a mysterious informant who claimed to be an old acquaintance of the teahouse owner contacted them. The informant requested an anonymous meeting and provided an important clue during the meeting - the teahouse owner had received a letter from a survivor of the murder case thirty years ago, which mentioned a plan for revenge.
This clue made Xu Youran and Situ Han's eyes light up. They realized that this case might be directly related to the murder case thirty years ago. They decided to immediately track down the source of the letter and look for the survivor.
After a series of arduous investigations, Xu Youran and Situ Han finally found the survivor. He was an elderly man with a haggard face, but his eyes revealed an unyielding light. From the old man's narration, they learned the truth of the murder case thirty years ago - a tragedy caused by love, hatred and vengeance.
It turns out that the teahouse owner was one of the masterminds of the murder. Out of jealousy and greed, he and others killed the old man's family. However, the law is long and wide, and he was eventually caught. But the hatred in the old man's heart did not dissipate, and he has been looking for opportunities to avenge his family.
The death of the teahouse owner was a revenge carefully planned by the old man. He used his influence to secretly control everything, making the teahouse owner unknowingly step into the trap he set.
Just as Xu Youran and Situ Han were preparing to bring the old man to justice, an anonymous letter appeared on their desk again. The letter contained only one sentence: "A night in the hotel, love and hate, are you ready?"
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, shattering the peace in their hearts. They realized that this was not only a challenge to them, but also a complete settlement of the tragedy thirty years ago.
"It seems that our work is far from over." Situ Han stared at the handwriting on the letter, his tone was a bit solemn. He turned to Xu Youran, and their eyes met in the air. Without saying anything, they could already read the determination in each other's eyes.
"We must go deep into the tiger's den and uncover the truth of all this." Xu Youran clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with unquestionable determination. She knew that this action was not only about justice and revenge, but also about the rest of the souls of those innocent people.
In order to uncover the mystery of the "hotel love murder case", Xu Youran and Situ Han began a series of careful intelligence gathering work. They used their connections in S City to quietly set up an information network, striving not to miss any clues that might point to the truth.
First, they conducted a detailed investigation of the hotel involved in the case. This is a luxury hotel with a long history and a prominent reputation. It is the first choice for celebrities in S City to gather. However, behind this glamorous appearance, there are countless unknown secrets and darkness.
By questioning hotel staff, reviewing surveillance footage, and sneaking into the hotel for secret investigations, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually pieced together what happened that night. They discovered that every corner of the hotel was filled with carefully designed traps, and every step seemed to be leading them to a certain outcome.
During the investigation, Xu Youran and Situ Han also accidentally discovered the intricate emotional entanglements between the victims. It turned out that the victims of the hotel love murder case were not completely innocent, and there were a lot of love and hate between them.
Some people betrayed their friends for love, some sacrificed their dignity for wealth, and some lost themselves in the vortex of power and desire. These emotional entanglements are like an invisible net that tightly entangles everyone until the final tragedy occurs.
As the investigation deepened, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually approached the lair of the real murderer. They discovered that the real murderer was someone they had never expected - a seemingly harmless but actually scheming hotel executive.
This executive used his position in the hotel to carefully plan a series of conspiracies. Not only did he successfully put the blame on others, he also cleverly concealed his identity and whereabouts. However, with the careful reasoning and precise layout of Xu Youran and Situ Han, his disguise was finally peeled off layer by layer.
After a thrilling battle of wits, the murderer was finally brought to justice. His face was no longer full of his former arrogance and cunning, but only filled with fear and despair of the impending punishment...
When everything was settled, Xu Youran and Situ Han stood on the rooftop terrace of the hotel, looking down at the prosperous and complex S City. In their hearts, they felt both the joy of victory and contemplation of the future.
"Although all this is over, our battle has just begun." Situ Han said with emotion. He knew very well that in S City, a place full of stories and secrets, there would be more mysteries waiting for them to uncover.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a piece of paper from afar. Xu Youran reached out to catch it, and saw the words written on it in distorted fonts: "Next target, are you ready?"
This sentence was like a heavy bomb, instantly exploding in the hearts of Xu Youran and Situ Han. They looked at each other and saw firm belief and unyielding will in each other's eyes.
"We will not retreat, nor will we be afraid." Xu Youran held the piece of paper tightly, her voice soft but firm. She knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, as long as they walked hand in hand, nothing could stop them from uncovering the truth.
So, under the starry night sky, Xu Youran and Situ Han once again set out on a journey to find the truth. Their figures gradually disappeared into the night, but their story will be passed down forever in the history of S City...
