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

The night was as dark as ink. Xu Youran and Situ Han stood side by side on the terrace of the hotel. The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the solemnity in their hearts. "This piece of paper is undoubtedly a new challenge letter." Xu Youran held the mysterious piece of paper tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.

Situ Han nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "Every calm is just an illusion before the storm. S City, this ancient city, seems to hide too many unknown secrets."

"Then, let's uncover it." Xu Youran said in a firm tone. She turned and looked at Situ Han. Their eyes met at this moment. There was no need for words. They both understood each other's determination.

The next morning, Xu Youran and Situ Han came to an old tobacco shop in City S. This tobacco shop was located in a corner of the city. It looked ordinary on the outside, but there was an indescribable weirdness inside.

Walking into the tobacco shop, a mixture of tobacco and stale smell hit me in the face. Xu Youran looked around and saw that the shop was filled with smoke and there were few customers, but everyone had an indescribable numbness on their faces.

"This place is not simple." Situ Han said in a low voice, his eyes scanning back and forth in the tobacco shop, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, a young man stumbled out of the inner room, his face pale and his eyes full of fear. "Help... there's a ghost... there's a ghost!" He screamed and rushed out of the smoking room.

Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other and quickly followed. After they stopped the man at the street corner, they learned a shocking news - "ghosts" had appeared frequently in the tobacco shop recently, causing panic among the people, and many customers dared not patronize it anymore.

In order to get a deeper understanding of the situation, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to find the young man's family. After some inquiries, they arrived at the man's home.

The house was in a mess, obviously having just been through a panic. The man's mother saw them and said with tears in her eyes: "My son has always been timid, but recently, for some reason, he insisted on working in this opium den. Since going there, he has become weird and always says he saw something unclean."

"Dirty things?" Xu Youran frowned, she realized that there might be a deeper secret hidden behind this.

During further conversations, they also learned an important clue - the owner of this opium den had close ties with some powerful people in S City, and the opium sold in the den did not seem to be ordinary stuff.

With new clues, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to investigate the owner of the tobacco shop in depth. They used their personal connections and quickly got some background information about the owner.

It turned out that the boss was named Li Moxuan, who was once a well-known businessman in S City, but in recent years he suddenly switched to running a tobacco shop. Although his tobacco shop looked like any other tobacco shop on the surface, it was actually a base for selling special opium.

In order to find out the truth, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to visit the opium den at night. In the dead of night, they quietly sneaked into the opium den and saw that the inner room was brightly lit and several men in black were sitting around a table, talking in low voices.

"It seems that we have come to the right place." Situ Han said softly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

As they approached the table, they heard one of them say, "This batch of goods must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise there will be big trouble."

"But, things in the city have been very tense recently, and I'm afraid..." The other person seemed a little hesitant.

"What are you afraid of? With Boss Li backing us up, who dares to touch us?" The leading man in black snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

Hearing this, Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other. They knew that they had touched upon the core of the case.

During the in-depth investigation, Xu Youran accidentally discovered a secret about Li Moxuan - he was one of the insiders of the murder case. In order to cover up the truth, he chose to betray his conscience and go along with the powerful.

The mastermind behind all this seems to be inextricably linked to the mysterious "ghost". As the investigation deepens, a complex story about revenge, power and desire gradually emerges.

Just when Xu Youran and Situ Han were about to uncover the truth, an unexpected figure appeared in their sight—the vicious female supporting character Su Wanqing. She smiled, but there was an imperceptible coldness in her eyes. "It seems that your investigation went smoothly." She said leisurely.

"Su Wanqing? Why are you here?" Situ Han frowned. He knew very well that the appearance of this woman was no accident.

"Why can't I be here? Don't forget, I may have spies in every corner of S City." Su Wanqing chuckled, then changed the subject, "But I'm not here to stop you. On the contrary, I have a suggestion - how about we work together?"

"Cooperation? What is your purpose?" Xu Youran looked at Su Wanqing warily. She knew very well that this woman's mind was unfathomable and every contact was filled with mysteries.

"It's simple. I'm also very interested in the secrets behind this opium den. We can share information and uncover the truth together. Of course, the premise is that we each get what we want." Su Wanqing's words revealed an unquestionable confidence, as if she had already grasped some key information.

Situ Han pondered for a moment. He knew that cooperating with Su Wanqing was like seeking the skin of a tiger, but under the current circumstances, they really needed more clues to advance the case. "What are your conditions?" he asked coldly.

"What I want is the real controller behind the opium den and his connection to the family murder case thirty years ago." Su Wanqing stated her purpose without any hesitation, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

Xu Youran and Situ Han exchanged glances. They understood that although Su Wanqing's joining might make things more complicated, it might also be the key to breaking the deadlock. "Okay, we'll cooperate. But you have to remember that any betrayal will come at a price." Situ Han said in a deep voice.

"Of course, we each take what we need and don't interfere with each other." Su Wanqing curled her lips into a smug smile, turned around and disappeared into the night.

With the addition of Su Wanqing, the investigation seems to have a new direction. Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually pieced together the complex network behind the opium den through various channels. They found that Li Moxuan was just a small pawn in this huge chain of interests, and the one who really controlled everything was a mysterious figure hiding in the dark.

This mysterious man not only has close ties with the powerful people in S City, but also has a close relationship with the murder case thirty years ago. He uses the opium den as a cover to secretly engage in illegal transactions and revenge plans.

In a late-night raid, Xu Youran and Situ Han finally caught one of Li Moxuan's trusted men. Under strict interrogation, he revealed a shocking secret - the mysterious man was planning to use the special opium in the opium den to create a bigger chaos to cover up his crime that was about to be exposed.

During the intense investigation, the relationship between Xu Youran and Situ Han was also tested. They supported each other and faced danger together, but Su Wanqing's joining was like an invisible knife, always hanging in their hearts.

Xu Youran began to doubt Su Wanqing's true intentions. She was worried that Su Wanqing would use them to achieve her own goals and then push them into the abyss. Situ Han seemed calmer. He believed in his own judgment, but he also remained vigilant at all times.

Just as they were about to go deep into the tiger's den and destroy this criminal network in one fell swoop, an anonymous letter quietly arrived in their hands. The letter contained only one sentence: "There is another world under the opium den."

This sentence was like a key, opening the door of doubt in their hearts. Could there be a bigger secret hidden under the opium den? What was the connection between this secret and the murder case thirty years ago?

Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other, with a resolute light in their eyes. They knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, but they also understood that only by revealing all the truth could S City have a peaceful future.

"Let's go and uncover the truth behind the opium den." Xu Youran said softly, and embarked on a new journey side by side with Situ Han.

Behind them, Su Wanqing's figure disappeared into the night again. Her eyes flashed with complex emotions, and she seemed to be planning her next move.
