Forensic Doctor: Finding the Way Back to the Mystery of Ancient Realms
Chapter 84: Ghost in the Painting, Shadow of the Party
Under the moonlight, Xu Youran and Situ Han stood beside the ruins of Lihuo. Both of them had solemn expressions, and their eyes flashed with determination to face unknown challenges.
"This fire not only burned down the factory, but it was more like a key that opened the door to a bigger secret." Xu Youran said in a low voice, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone.
Situ Han nodded, his eyes deep: "Yes, I feel that this has just begun. We must hurry up and solve all the mysteries."
Just as they were about to leave, Xu Youran's notebook suddenly turned to the page with the sketch of the painter and the natural canvas. She was stunned for a moment, then she looked at Situ Han, and both of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"It seems that our next target has been clarified." Situ Han said in a deep voice.
Following the instructions of the sketch, Xu Youran and Situ Han came to the home of a famous painter in City S. This painter was one of the guests invited to the upcoming charity gala, and his works surprisingly contained elements similar to natural canvases.
"You are finally here." The painter seemed not surprised by their arrival. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were flashing with complex emotions. "I knew you would come, because that painting...it has its own will."
Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other, and then followed the painter's lead into his studio. The room was filled with various paintings, but the most eye-catching one was the one depicting a woman struggling in flames. The woman's face was blurred, but her eyes revealed an indescribable sorrow and anger.
"This painting..." Xu Youran walked closer to the painting and looked at it carefully. "It seems to be telling something."
As the charity gala approaches, the social circle of S City is once again in an uproar. However, beneath this bustle and prosperity, there is an unknown undercurrent. As special consultants to the police, Xu Youran and Situ Han also received invitations to the gala.
The party was filled with celebrities and beautiful women. However, in such a seemingly glamorous occasion, Xu Youran always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression and uneasiness. She quietly pulled Situ Han's sleeve, signaling him to pay attention to a woman in the crowd - the woman who appeared in the painter's painting, who was standing in a corner not far away, her eyes full of fear and despair.
Just when the party was at its climax, a scream was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the woman had fallen to the ground, her body stiff and her face as pale as paper. When the doctor arrived, he confirmed that she had been dead for a long time and the cause of death was cardiac arrest.
Xu Youran and Situ Han quickly intervened in the investigation. After a preliminary investigation, they found that the woman had no signs of trauma or poisoning, but there was an incredible fear in her eyes. At the same time, a broken jade pendant fell next to the woman's hand - it was the same piece that was similar to the natural canvas and the ancient jade in the painter's hand.
As the investigation deepens, Xu Youran and Situ Han discover that this case is inextricably linked to the previous spontaneously combusting canvas case. They begin to track down the people involved in the case, including the painter's past, the woman's identity and background, and the connection between them.
In the process, they encountered various resistances and obstacles. Some chose to remain silent, while others deliberately provided false information. But Xu Youran and Situ Han, relying on their keen intuition and firm belief, approached the core of the truth step by step.
However, just when they were about to uncover all the mysteries, an unexpected person appeared-the vicious female supporting character Su Wanqing. She always seemed to appear at the most critical moment, bringing unexpected troubles and troubles to their investigation.
In the process of tracking down Su Wanqing, the relationship between Xu Youran and Situ Han also went through tests and sublimation. They supported each other, faced difficulties and challenges together, and left a deeper mark in each other's hearts.
However, when the truth gradually surfaced, they found that all this was surprisingly related to the S City Massacre during the Republic of China. And the seemingly disappeared secret organization "Shadow Society" also surfaced again and became their most powerful enemy.
After a lot of hard work and reasoning, Xu Youran and Situ Han finally uncovered the mystery of the woman's sudden death. However, at this moment, they suddenly received an anonymous call - a sinister voice came from the other end of the phone: "Want to save S City from the dire situation? Then come to tomorrow's charity party..."
After saying this, the phone was hung up. Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other, and saw shock and uneasiness in each other's eyes. They knew that this call meant that another storm was coming...
As they were about to leave, the broken jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint light - the light seemed to contain some kind of guidance or foreshadowing. Xu Youran gently picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully for a moment, then held it tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with determination.
"Situ, it seems we still have a long way to go." Xu Youran's voice was soft but extremely firm.
Situ Han nodded, his eyes as deep as the night: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will walk with you."
The two walked out of the studio side by side. It was already late at night, but the lights of S City were still bright, as if silently watching the coming storm.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Xu Youran's room, she was already sitting at her desk, carefully studying the broken jade pendant. The sunlight shone on the jade pendant, reflecting a strange light, as if telling an unknown secret.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Officer Li, a representative of the S City Police.
"Advisor Xu, security for the charity gala has been deployed, but I have a feeling that something big might happen tonight." Officer Li's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Officer Li, don't worry, we are ready." Xu Youran spoke in a calm tone, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew that this party was not only a test of her and Situ Han's wisdom, but also a key step in uncovering a series of bizarre cases in S City.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Youran stood up and looked out the window at the bustling S City. She took a deep breath and said to herself, "No matter what secrets are hidden behind, I will reveal them one by one."
At this moment, Situ Han just happened to walk into the room, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need for words, as they knew each other's intentions.
"Are you ready?" Situ Han asked.
"Of course." Xu Youran smiled, her eyes flashing with confidence and determination.
