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

The moonlight was like a silk thread, sprinkling on the ancient streets of S City, covering the night with a mysterious veil. Xu Youran and Situ Han pulled themselves out of the thrilling chapter 89, but the doubts and sense of urgency in their hearts did not diminish at all.

Xu Youran (looking at the dark shadow going away in the distance, frowning): "Situ, do you think the source of all this is really just the revenge of the sugar painting master Lao Li?"

Situ Han (staring at the night sky with deep eyes): "No, Youran, the secrets behind this are far more complicated than we imagined. Lao Li is just a node in this huge network, and the real black hand is still in the dark."

The two were silent for a moment, as if they could both feel the invisible pressure approaching.

The next day, Xu Youran and Situ Han came to the workshop of sugar painting master Lao Li again. This time, they decided to conduct a more detailed investigation.

Xu Youran (finding an old diary in the corner of the workshop): "Look, there's a diary here. It might be left by Lao Li."

The diary records Lao Li's daily life and his deep fear of the mysterious organization "Shadow House". Even more striking is that the diary also mentions several names and dates that seem to have a striking similarity with several bizarre cases that have occurred recently.

Situ Han (flipping through the diary, frowning): "These names... are all victims or suspects in the case. Lao Li's death is definitely not accidental."

Based on the clues in the diary, Xu Youran and Situ Han began to track down possible suspects. They first came to an antique shop in S City, which was said to be inextricably linked to the "Shadow Shop".

Antique shop owner (with a nervous look and flickering eyes): "I don't know what you are talking about, 'Shadow House'? It's just a legend."

However, as they were about to leave, a mysterious customer quietly handed Xu Youran a note with an address and a sentence on it: "The truth is in the abandoned theater."

The address pointed to a theater in S City that had been abandoned for many years. When Xu Youran and Situ Han stepped into the theater, an old and cold atmosphere hit them. The interior of the theater was covered with cobwebs and dust, but in the center of the stage, there was a huge sugar painting - a horrifying scene depicting the scene of the S City murder.

Xu Youran (pointing at the sugar painting in shock): "How...how is this possible? Is this a warning from Shadow Workshop?"

Situ Han (looking around, speaking in a deep voice): "No, this is a provocation, but also a clue. They want to tell us that they know everything we know, and even more."

During the investigation, the relationship between Xu Youran and Situ Han also quietly changes. Faced with numerous difficulties and dangers, they are more determined to jointly uncover the truth and eradicate the "Shadow House".

Xu Youran (looking at Situ Han's determined profile): "Situ, no matter how difficult this road is, I will walk it with you."

Situ Han (gently holding Xu Youran's hand): "Having you by my side is my greatest luck."

Just as they were about to leave the theater, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A group of men in black suddenly broke in, apparently to stop them from continuing their investigation.

Leader of the men in black (sneer): "It seems you have discovered a lot of secrets. But unfortunately, you will not leave here alive."

A fierce battle ensued. Xu Youran and Situ Han, with their excellent skills and wisdom, finally defeated the men in black. However, during the battle, they accidentally discovered a shocking secret - Su Wanqing actually had an unspeakable relationship with the "Shadow House".

Situ Han (with complicated eyes): "Su Wanqing...why did she become like this?"

Xu Youran (shakes her head and sighs): "Perhaps, she also has her own difficulties and secrets. But now, we must first resolve the crisis at hand."

After the battle, Xu Youran and Situ Han found a hidden wooden board in a corner of the theater. After prying open the board, they found a secret letter and an old photo.

The secret letter read: "Thirty years ago, everything started with sugar painting. Now, the cycle has started again, and you and I are both involved."

The old photo shows a photo of sugar painting master Lao Li and a mysterious person on the eve of the S City murder. The face of the mysterious person was deliberately blurred, but his eyes were very familiar, as if they had some connection with Su Wanqing.

Xu Youran (staring at the photo): "What...what does this mean?"

Situ Han (putting away the secret letter and photos): "It seems that our investigation has just begun. The next goal is to uncover Su Wanqing's connection with all this."

The two smiled at each other, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would move forward hand in hand until all the mysteries were solved and S City was at peace.

Xu Youran (quietly): "Situ, what should we do next?"

Situ Han (pondering for a moment): "First, we need to find Su Wanqing and understand why she is involved with the 'Shadow House'. At the same time, we cannot relax our pursuit of other members of the 'Shadow House'. Since they dare to provoke us so blatantly, it means that they already have a plan for the next step."

In the following days, Xu Youran and Situ Han acted separately. Xu Youran used her connections in S City to try to find Su Wanqing's whereabouts, while Situ Han continued to investigate the organizational structure and action plan of "Shadow House".

When Xu Youran visited Su Wanqing's relatives and friends, she unexpectedly learned that Su Wanqing had lost her parents when she was young and was adopted by a mysterious person. This mysterious person not only funded her to complete her studies, but also taught her many unknown skills. However, as the investigation deepened, Xu Youran discovered that this mysterious person was inextricably linked to the "Shadow House".

Su Wanqing’s best friend (with tears in her eyes): “Wanqing has actually been living a very painful life. She knows that what she did was wrong, but she cannot escape the control of that organization.”

Xu Youran (with mixed feelings): "Control? Are you saying that she was forced to join the Shadow Workshop?"

Best friend (nods): "Yes, she tried to escape, but failed every time. Moreover, every time she failed, she was punished more severely."

At the same time, Situ Han gradually figured out the organizational structure of "Dark Shadow House" through a series of complex intelligence networks. He found that "Dark Shadow House" was not only involved in many bizarre cases, but also had close ties with many high-ranking officials in the political and business circles of S City. These high-ranking officials secretly supported the illegal activities of "Dark Shadow House" for their own interests.

Situ Han (to his assistant): "We must proceed with caution. The power behind these high-ranking figures cannot be underestimated. If we alert them, it may lead to a greater crisis."

Assistant (nods): "Understood, Commander. We will continue to investigate secretly to ensure that everything is foolproof."

During the investigation, the relationship between Xu Youran and Situ Han continued to deepen. They experienced the test of life and death together, and their trust and dependence on each other reached an unprecedented level.

Xu Youran (said to Situ Han in the dead of night): "Sometimes I think, if it weren't for these cases, we might just be two parallel lines that would never intersect."

Situ Han (holding her tenderly in his arms): "But it is these cases that have brought us together, brought us to know each other, and brought us to love each other. No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side, protecting you and supporting you."

Just when Xu Youran and Situ Han were about to uncover the biggest secret of "Dark Shadow Workshop", an anonymous letter quietly appeared on their desk. The letter contained only one sentence: "The truth about the sugar painting master is hidden in the most inconspicuous corner of S City."

Xu Youran (picks up the letter, frowning): "What...what does this mean? Are there any clues we haven't discovered yet?"

Situ Han (pondering for a moment): "Whatever it means, we can't let go of any clues. Let's go to the most inconspicuous corner of S City and take a look."
