Forensic Doctor: Finding the Way Back to the Mystery of Ancient Realms
Chapter 68: The fog gradually dissipates, and the shadow of the beheading case approaches
The night is deep, and the streets of S City are particularly quiet under the dim street lights. However, beneath this tranquility, there is an unknown undercurrent. Xu Youran and Situ Han, two detectives with both wisdom and courage, are gradually uncovering the truth of the case of a corpse hidden in a suitcase, but they never expected that a new crisis is quietly approaching.
The platform of the train station still retains traces of the crime. Xu Youran and Situ Han came here again. They were dressed in plain clothes, with sharp eyes, as if they could penetrate the mist of time and see every detail of the crime.
"Look here, the distribution of blood is a little unusual." Xu Youran squatted down and pointed at a tiny blood stain on the ground that was almost ignored. She put on gloves and carefully extracted the sample, thinking to herself, "This may be left by the deceased when he first struggled."
Situ Han stood aside, examining the entire scene with a professional eye. He noticed the location of the suitcase and the reactions of the people around him, and gradually formed a picture of the crime in his mind. "The murderer may have suddenly attacked the deceased here and then quickly put him into the suitcase." He said in a deep voice.
After leaving the scene, Xu Youran and Situ Han came to the victim's home. It was a simple but warm little house, with a photo of the deceased hanging on the wall, with a bright smile, in sharp contrast to the current haze.
The victim's mother, an old and frail woman, burst into tears again when she saw them. "My son, he is so kind, how could he suffer such a disaster?" She held Xu Youran's hand tightly, as if it was her only support.
Xu Youran patiently comforted her and asked about the deceased's living habits and social circle. "Do you know if he has offended anyone recently? Or has anything unusual happened?"
The old woman shook her head, her eyes full of confusion. "He has always been a good boy and never caused any trouble. But recently, he has been acting mysterious, as if he is hiding something from us."
This sentence was like a flash of lightning, breaking through the fog in Xu Youran's heart. She realized that this case might not be as simple as it seemed.
Back at the police station, Xu Youran and Situ Han shared the clues they had collected with the police representative of City S. The representative was named Li Minghui, an experienced policeman who knew the public security situation in City S very well.
"We have indeed heard of Su Wanqing, whom you mentioned." Li Minghui frowned, "But she has a powerful force behind her, and we have never been able to touch her at all."
"Powerful force?" Situ Han keenly grasped this key word, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Li Minghui hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up. "This involves a complex network of political and business relationships, and our police often feel powerless to deal with it."
Hearing this, Xu Youran became more determined to uncover the truth. "No matter how powerful the forces behind this are, we must not give up our pursuit of justice."
In order to find Su Wanqing's hiding place, Xu Youran mobilized his own intelligence network, while Situ Han used police resources to conduct a carpet search of all major hotels in S City.
After some efforts, they finally found Su Wanqing's trace in a remote abandoned warehouse. The light in the warehouse was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of mold and decay. Xu Youran and Situ Han approached quietly, fearing to alert the enemy.
"She is here indeed." Situ Han said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
However, just as they were about to act, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the warehouse. Xu Youran and Situ Han quickly exchanged glances and decided to retreat temporarily to avoid alerting the enemy.
On the way of retreat, Xu Youran's mood was extremely complicated. She remembered the desperate eyes of the victim's family and her mission and responsibility as a detective. She knew that this battle had just begun, and she had to stay calm and rational.
"We can't rush for success." Situ Han saw what she was thinking and comforted her, "Only when we find enough evidence can we bring Su Wanqing to justice."
Xu Youran nodded in agreement, but the resentment and anger in her heart were hard to calm down. She secretly vowed to make the truth known to the world and let the victims rest in peace.
Just as Xu Youran and Situ Han were planning their next move, shocking news spread throughout S City—another beheading case had occurred! This case was strikingly similar to the previous case of the corpse hidden in a suitcase, and all signs indicated that Su Wanqing was likely the mastermind behind this new case.
"It seems that she is really declaring war on us." Xu Youran clenched her fists, with anger flashing in her eyes.
Situ Han seemed calmer and more composed. "The more she does this, the closer we are to the truth."
The two looked at each other and without further ado, they plunged into the intense investigation again. They knew that this beheading case would be the key to solving all the mysteries. And behind this intricate web, there were still many unsolved mysteries waiting for them to uncover one by one.
As the investigation into the beheading case deepened, Xu Youran and Situ Han discovered that the cruelty of the method and the exquisiteness of the layout of this case far exceeded their imagination. There were not many direct clues left at the scene, but every detail revealed the murderer's extreme hatred for the victim and precise control of the crime.
"This is not just a simple murder, it's more like a carefully planned ritual." Situ Han pondered at the crime scene with a deep gaze, "The message the murderer wants to convey is far more important than death itself."
Xu Youran nodded, with an ominous premonition in her heart. "If it was really Su Wanqing who did it, then what was her motive behind it? Was it for revenge, or to cover up a deeper secret?"
In order to find the answer, the two decided to split up. Xu Youran continued to track Su Wanqing's whereabouts, hoping to find clues directly related to the two cases from her life; while Situ Han stayed in the police station and organized people to conduct a more detailed re-investigation of the scenes of the two cases, and retrieved relevant surveillance videos, hoping to capture clues of the murderer.
During this process, Xu Youran encountered many obstacles. Su Wanqing seemed to have anticipated their actions, not only frequently changing hiding places, but also deliberately creating false clues to confuse them. But Xu Youran did not give up. With her wisdom and courage, she gradually approached the edge of the truth.
Good news came from Situ Han. Through repeated comparison and analysis of surveillance videos, they found a suspicious figure - a man who always appeared near the crime scene. Although the man was wearing a hat and a mask, his facial features were difficult to identify, but his body shape and gait were highly similar to a wanted criminal in the police file.
"This may be a breakthrough." Situ Han said excitedly, "We must find this person as soon as possible. Maybe he can provide us with important information about Su Wanqing."
Just as the two were preparing to take further action, an unexpected phone call broke the silence. A deep and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xu Youran, Situ Han, are you interested in Su Wanqing? If you want to know her secret, come to the abandoned church in the old city."
After the call ended, Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other. They knew that this was most likely a trap, but they knew even more clearly that this was the only chance to uncover the truth.
"We have to be careful." Situ Han said in a deep voice, "No matter who the other party is, we can't take it lightly."
Xu Youran nodded in agreement, and the two quickly prepared themselves and drove to the abandoned church in the old town. What challenges and dangers would they face there? And how would the secrets behind Su Wanqing be revealed one by one?
