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

The corridor of the mental hospital was once again shrouded in darkness. Xu Youran and Situ Han held flashlights and walked through the intricate rooms. Every step seemed particularly heavy. The last discovery made them realize that the real secret might be hidden in a deeper and more unknown place.

"You Ran, what do you think we will find this time?" Situ Han asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the dark passage ahead.

Xu Youran frowned, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice: "I don't know, but the feeling of being spied on is getting stronger and stronger. Zhao Yifei's shadow puppets are just the tip of the iceberg. What's hidden in this mental hospital may be more terrifying than we imagined."

At this moment, a faint sound of wind came from behind a half-open door, as if something was calling them. The two looked at each other and pushed open the door without hesitation.

Behind the door was a long and narrow passage. The walls on both sides were covered with traces of time, and the air was filled with a musty and stale smell. Xu Youran and Situ Han walked forward cautiously, the light of the flashlight swaying in front of them, trying to illuminate this unknown road.

"It looks like no one has been here for a long time." Situ Han said in a low voice. He reached out and touched the moss on the wall, his brows furrowed.

"But I feel like someone just came here." Xu Youran suddenly stopped, her ears moved slightly, as if catching some subtle sound.

At this moment, a low groaning sound came from the depths of the passage, which made people shudder. The two exchanged glances quickly and quickened their pace.

As they went deeper into the passage, a hidden room gradually appeared before their eyes. The room was dimly lit, with only a few flickering candles barely illuminating everything. In the middle of the room, a bound man was struggling in pain, his eyes full of despair and fear.

"Quick, save him!" Xu Youran rushed forward and quickly untied the ropes on the man.

After being rescued, the man collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. He looked up at Xu Youran and Situ Han, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you... I am a doctor here, and they captured me... to conduct terrible experiments..."

In the doctor's narration, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually learned the truth behind the mental hospital. It turned out that this place was not only a place to treat mental illness, but also a secret base for illegal experiments and research. And those shadow puppets and talismans were part of the experiment - used to control and manipulate people's will.

"They... they want to revive an ancient power and use it to rule the entire city." The doctor's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of fear. "Those shadow puppets are just one of their tools."

After learning this shocking secret, Xu Youran and Situ Han immediately took action. Based on the doctor's description, they drew a portrait of the suspect and distributed it to the police and various police stations in S City. At the same time, they also began to search the area around the mental hospital, trying to find more clues about this secret organization.

However, just as they were investigating intensively, even more shocking news came - a large number of corpses were floating on the lake, and the dead had all suffered inhumane abuse and torture.

Xu Youran and Situ Han quickly rushed to the lakeside, only to see dozens of bodies floating on the surface of the lake. The scene was horrific. The forensic doctors were busy conducting an examination, while the police were on the sidelines maintaining order.

"These bodies...are all citizens who have gone missing recently." A police representative stepped forward and reported the situation to Xu Youran and Situ Han. "They all suffered inhuman torture during their lifetime, and...and they all have the same scars on their bodies."

Xu Youran squatted down and carefully examined the wounds of a corpse, frowning: "These scars... look like they were left by some kind of ritual. Could it be that this was done by that secret organization again?"

As the investigation deepens, Xu Youran and Situ Han discover that there seems to be some subtle connection between these bizarre cases. Each case is like a piece of a puzzle, forming a huge conspiracy. And the secret organization is like the mastermind behind all this, manipulating everything in secret.

"We must find their lair as soon as possible and stop their plans." Situ Han said in a deep voice, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Xu Youran nodded, her eyes also filled with determination: "No matter where they hide, we must find them!

Night fell again, Xu Youran and Situ Han stood by the lake, looking at the water shrouded in shadows. Their hearts were filled with anger and reluctance, but also with anticipation for unknown challenges.

"You Ran, do you believe we can succeed?" Situ Han suddenly asked, his voice sounding particularly gentle in the night.

Xu Youran smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Of course. As long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

Just then, a breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the lake. Under the moonlight, the ripples seemed to have turned into countless eyes, silently watching them.

"Look, those ripples..." Xu Youran said softly, a hint of alertness flashing in her eyes.

Situ Han also noticed this strange phenomenon. He said in a deep voice: "This is not just the effect of the wind, it's more like... some kind of surveillance."

The two looked at each other and tacitly decided to continue investigating. They knew that the battle had just begun, and the real enemy might be more cunning and powerful than they imagined.

"You Ran, we have to be careful. This secret organization can actually manipulate shadow puppets, conduct illegal experiments, and even leave so many corpses on the lake. Their methods are definitely extraordinary." Situ Han reminded.

Xu Youran nodded, with determination in her eyes: "I understand. But no matter how powerful they are, we cannot retreat. Because we are the guardians of justice and the hope of this city."

As the night deepened, the two decided to return to the police station temporarily to sort out the clues they had collected and plan their next move. When leaving the lake, Xu Youran couldn't help but look back at the lake illuminated by the moonlight, and an inexplicable premonition surged in her heart.

"Si Tu, do you think these bodies are related to the family murder case thirty years ago?" she suddenly asked.

Situ Han hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, but my intuition tells me that there must be some connection between the two cases. Perhaps all of this is a trap set by that secret organization to cover up a bigger conspiracy."

After returning to the police station, Xu Youran and Situ Han immediately called together the police representatives and forensic team of City S to discuss countermeasures. They decided to start with the identity of the deceased, check the people and clues related to the deceased one by one, and at the same time strengthen the monitoring and search of the mental hospital and its surrounding areas.

During the intense investigation, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually discovered some new clues. They found that there seemed to be some common characteristics or experiences among these dead people, and these characteristics or experiences were likely related to the secret organization.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth." Xu Youran looked at the clues in her hand, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Situ Han nodded, but his face was solemn: "However, this also means that we are about to face greater danger. That secret organization will not sit idly by and watch us expose their conspiracy. They will definitely try every means to stop us."

Xu Youran smiled slightly, her eyes full of determination: "Then let them come. We are ready. No matter what means they use, we will resolve them one by one."

At this moment, a rapid phone ring interrupted their conversation. Xu Youran picked up the phone and heard an anxious voice on the other end: "Inspector Xu, it's bad! A new body was found on the lake!"

Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other, their eyes flashing with unquestionable determination. They knew that this battle had just begun, and they had to go all out.

With the discovery of the new body, S City was once again shrouded in a dark cloud. Xu Youran and Situ Han stood in front of the window of the police station, looking at the lake shrouded in the night, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.

"It seems that our opponents are more cunning and cruel than we thought." Situ Han said in a deep voice.

Xu Youran nodded, with determination in her eyes: "But no matter how cunning they are, we can't give up. Because we are the guardians of justice and the hope of this city."

At this moment, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness to the lake. Xu Youran suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, as if she saw the souls of the dead wandering on the lake, telling of their grievances and unwillingness.

"Situ, do you believe it? These dead must be watching us. They hope that we can get justice for them." Xu Youran said softly.
