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

Night fell again in S City. The moonlight was as bright as silver, but it seemed unable to penetrate the haze deep in the city. Xu Youran and Situ Han walked side by side on the way back to the police station. Although their pace was fast, their hearts were extremely heavy.

"You Ran, do you think the clues in that anonymous letter can really lead us to find the truth about the family massacre thirty years ago?" Situ Han broke the silence, his eyes full of worry.

Xu Youran raised her head and gazed off into the distance. Her face looked particularly resolute under the moonlight. “No matter how difficult it is, we must try. Every clue we find was obtained with the blood and tears of our predecessors. We cannot give up.”

The two exchanged a determined look and continued to move forward, as if they were ready to face greater challenges.

Back at the police station, Xu Youran immediately began to analyze the anonymous letter. The special mark mentioned in the letter was strikingly similar to the tattoo on the body of the victim in the murder case thirty years ago. She decided to start with this detail, checked all the relevant case files, and contacted the old police officers who were involved in the case at that time for questioning.

In a dimly lit archive room, Xu Youran sat face to face with an old policeman with white hair. The old policeman tremblingly pulled out a black-and-white photo from a pile of yellowed documents. The photo showed a young woman with the same tattoo on her chest as described in the letter.

"This is her, Lin Wanqing, the only survivor of the family massacre. But she disappeared soon after and there has been no news of her since." The old policeman's voice was choked with sobs.

After learning this key information, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to do their best to track down Lin Wanqing. They used modern technology, combined with the memories and clues of the old policeman, to gradually outline the possible life trajectory of Lin Wanqing.

After some efforts, they finally found Lin Wanqing's adopted daughter, Xiaofang, in a remote town. Although Xiaofang knew little about her mother's past, she provided an important clue: Lin Wanqing had left a box before her death, which contained all her secrets.

Xu Youran and Situ Han opened the dusty box with trepidation. In addition to some old photos and letters, there was also an encrypted diary. With Xu Youran's superb decoding skills, they finally read the truth left by Lin Wanqing.

It turns out that after Lin Wanqing escaped from the murder of her entire family, she has been hunted by a mysterious organization. She changed her name, gave birth to Xiaofang, and has been secretly investigating the true face of the organization. The diary records in detail her confrontations with members of the organization, as well as some shocking secrets she discovered - including the deep collusion between the senior military officials and the Zhao family, and how they used various forces in S City to carry out illegal activities.

As the investigation deepens, a new suspect gradually surfaces - Zhao Tianxiong, the current head of the Zhao family. Not only is he closely related to the senior military officer, but he was also a prominent figure in S City when the murder occurred thirty years ago.

In order to verify this speculation, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to secretly monitor Zhao Tianxiong and look for more evidence. During a late-night infiltration operation, they accidentally discovered a secret room in Zhao Tianxiong's study, which contained a large number of documents and physical evidence related to illegal transactions and the murder case.

After collecting enough evidence, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to confront Zhao Tianxiong head-on. In a tense and fierce conversation, Zhao Tianxiong finally revealed his true colors and admitted all his crimes.

"Do you think you can convict me by finding these? How naive!" Zhao Tianxiong sneered, his eyes full of madness.

"No, we found more than that." Situ Han responded calmly, "We also found the fear and anxiety deep in your heart. You are afraid that the truth will be revealed and you are afraid of losing everything you have."

Zhao Tianxiong's body trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that he had reached the end of his rope, but he was still unwilling to admit defeat.

Just as Zhao Tianxiong was about to be taken away, he suddenly shouted: "Do you think this is the end? No! This is just the beginning! There is a bigger secret waiting for you to discover!"

This sentence exploded like a bomb in Xu Youran and Situ Han's hearts. They realized that although the truth of the family extermination case was revealed, the darkness of S City was far from over.

"What is the 'bigger secret' he's talking about?" Xu Youran frowned, his heart full of doubts.

Situ Han pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the secret is, we will not let it continue to hide. For the peace of S City, we must get to the bottom of it."

The two smiled at each other, with determination and resolution in their eyes. At this moment, a quick phone ring broke the tranquility of the night. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Xu, Commander Situ, another suspicious suitcase was found at the train station..."

Xu Youran quickly picked up the phone, and the S City police's anxious voice came from the other end: "Ms. Xu, we found an abandoned suitcase at the train station. When we opened it, we found... a body inside!"

"What?!" Xu Youran and Situ Han stood up almost at the same time, their faces solemn. This sudden news undoubtedly added new pressure and urgency to their investigation.

"Notify the forensic doctor and technicians to go to the scene immediately. We will be there soon." Situ Han gave the order decisively, and at the same time turned to Xu Youran and said, "It seems that our work is far from over."

The two quickly packed up their equipment and drove to the train station. The train station was still brightly lit in the night, but the atmosphere at the moment was unusually heavy. The police had set up a cordon, and many curious onlookers gathered around, but they were all stopped at a safe distance.

"We have to be more careful this time." Xu Youran said to Situ Han as they walked, "There seems to be some connection between the consecutive cases. We must find the common ground between them to uncover the truth behind them."

Situ Han nodded in agreement, his eyes swept through the crowd, as if looking for something. Years of experience told him that every tiny clue could be the key to solving the case.

After arriving at the scene, Xu Youran and Situ Han immediately started the intense investigation. The suitcase was carefully opened, and inside lay a male corpse that had lost vital signs. From the preliminary examination, the deceased seemed to have suffered cruel abuse, and his body was covered with scars.

"Has the identity of the deceased been identified?" Xu Youran asked the forensic doctor beside him.

"It's still being confirmed, but judging from his clothes and personal belongings, he should be from another place," the forensic doctor replied.

"Outsider..." Xu Youran muttered to herself, a series of possibilities flashing through her mind. She decided to start with the whereabouts of the deceased and look for possible clues.

At the same time, Situ Han began to question witnesses, trying to reconstruct the process of the luggage being abandoned. After some effort, they finally found a train station staff member who claimed to have seen a suspicious person.

"I was sorting out documents in the duty room when I saw a man sneaking over with a big suitcase," the staff member recalled. "He looked very nervous and kept looking around. Then I saw him put the suitcase in a corner and ran away."

"Can you describe the characteristics of that man?" Situ Han asked.

"He... he was wearing a hat and a mask, so we couldn't see his face clearly. But his eyes were scary, as if he had done something wrong." The staff member said with lingering fear.

Although the clues were limited, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to start with this suspicious person. They retrieved the surveillance video from the train station and began to review it frame by frame, hoping to find more clues.

Time passed by, and the air was filled with tension and depression. Just when the two were about to give up, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the surveillance screen - it was Su Wanqing!

"How is this possible?" Xu Youran exclaimed, she couldn't believe her eyes. Su Wanqing, the woman who had been manipulating everything behind the scenes, was actually here?

A hint of coldness flashed across Situ Han's eyes, and he stared closely at Su Wanqing on the surveillance screen, as if he wanted to engrave her every subtle movement into his mind.

"It seems that we need to adjust the direction of our investigation." Situ Han said in a deep voice, "Su Wanqing's appearance is by no means accidental. She is likely to be inextricably linked to this series of cases."

Xu Youran nodded in agreement. A strong premonition surged in her heart - this seemingly isolated case of a corpse hidden in a suitcase might be the key to solving all the mysteries of S City.

This ending not only lays a deep foreshadowing for Chapter 68 "Unlocking the Body in the Suitcase at S City Train Station in the Republic of China", but also closely links the previous case with the new mystery through Su Wanqing's unexpected appearance, making readers feel terrified while also looking forward to the story to come.
