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

Chapter 91: Deep in the tiger's den, the truth gradually emerges

Before the morning light completely dispelled the darkness, Xu Youran and Situ Han had already set out on their journey to find the truth. Every step in the alley seemed extremely heavy, yet also filled with a desire for the unknown. As the footsteps went deeper, the outline of the ancient house gradually became clear, like a silent guardian, quietly waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

The gate of the house slowly opened with the joint efforts of the two people, and a musty smell came to the face, accompanied by the dust settled over the years. Xu Youran turned on the flashlight, and the beam penetrated the darkness, illuminating the stone steps winding down in front. There was both tension and expectation in her eyes, as if she was about to uncover a dusty history.

Xu Youran (whispering): "Is this the place we are looking for?"

Situ Han (walking calmly in front): "According to the clues, this should be a secret base of the 'Shadow House'. Be careful, there is no telling what traps there may be."

At the end of the stone steps was a cold basement. The air was filled with an ominous atmosphere, and the map and diary on the old wooden table seemed to tell of past sins. Situ Han quickly flipped through the diary, while Xu Youran carefully observed every mark on the map.

Situ Han (brows furrowed): "These marks... look more like the layout of some kind of ritual or plan than just locations."

Xu Youran (nods): "Moreover, these dates are highly consistent with the times of several cases I investigated. It seems that the criminal activities of 'Shadow House' are far more complicated than we imagined."

As the diary is turned page by page, a story about power, desire and betrayal gradually unfolds before the two. Su Wanqing's name appears frequently, and every choice she makes seems to be pushed forward by the hand of fate, and eventually slides into the abyss.

Xu Youran (reading softly): "'I never thought that I would become their pawn, but when I found out, it was too late...'"

Situ Han (pondering): "She must have gone through a great struggle in her heart. But these are not the reasons for her to commit a crime."

At this time, a representative of the S City police suddenly called and brought new information.

S City Police Representative (anxious voice): "You Ran, we just received a tip that Shadow House will have a major operation tonight, and the location may be near you. Be careful!"

After hanging up the phone, the two looked at each other and saw the determination and resoluteness in each other's eyes.

Based on the clues in the diary, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to track down the suspect immediately. They traveled through the streets of S City, relying on their keen intuition and years of experience in handling cases, and gradually approached the core of "Shadow House".

However, danger also comes with it. They have been ambushed by unknown forces many times, and each time they were surrounded by danger. But it is these challenges that make them more convinced that they are getting closer to the truth.

Xu Youran (dodging bullets and shouting to Situ Han): "Hurry, there's an alley over there where we can hide!"

Situ Han (pulling Xu Youran over and retreating quickly): "Be careful, they are not simple!"

While hiding, they accidentally saved a family member of the victim. The grief and anger of the family member made Xu Youran more determined to get to the bottom of the case.

Victim's family (with tears streaming down their cheeks): "Please, find the real murderer and avenge my family!"

As night fell, the two finally arrived at the secret base of the "Shadow House" - a large warehouse located in the suburbs of S City. Outside the warehouse, the night was as dark as ink, and there was uneasiness hidden in the silence. Inside the warehouse, it was a different scene: brightly lit, shadowy figures, and various illegal transactions were being carried out in full swing.

Situ Han (whispering to Xu Youran): "Are you ready? We are going in."

Xu Youran (clenching her fists): "We are ready. This time, we will not let them escape again."

The two nodded in tacit understanding, and then acted quickly. They took advantage of the complex terrain in the warehouse and quietly approached the core area of ​​the "Shadow Workshop". There, they finally saw the masterminds behind the scenes - a group of criminals with sneers on their faces and sinister eyes.

Possible suspect (laughing arrogantly): "Humph, you two think you can stop us? How naive!"

However, Xu Youran and Situ Han were not intimidated. With their extraordinary courage and wisdom, they fought fiercely with the criminals. In this thrilling contest, they not only showed their superb skills, but also their firm belief and unremitting pursuit.

After a fierce battle, Xu Youran and Situ Han finally captured all the core members of "Dark Shadow House". As they were captured, their sinful past was revealed one by one. It turned out that "Dark Shadow House" was not only involved in many bizarre cases, but also had inextricable ties with the corrupt forces in the political and business circles of S City.

Su Wanqing also chose to turn herself in at the critical moment. Her appearance surprised everyone, but her eyes revealed a complex emotion of relief and regret.

Su Wanqing (trembling voice): "I... I can finally face all of this. I know that everything I have done cannot be forgiven, but I really want to atone for the mistakes I have made."

Xu Youran looked at Su Wanqing with mixed feelings. She was once the most dazzling pearl in this city, but now she has ended up like this. But she knew that the fairness and justice of the law did not allow any personal emotions to intervene.

Xu Youran (said firmly): "Su Wanqing, you must pay the price for your actions. But if you truly repent, I am willing to do my best to help you start a new life within the framework of the law."

While cleaning the warehouse, Xu Youran and Situ Han accidentally discovered a secret passage hidden behind the wall. A faint light shone at the end of the passage, seemingly tempting them to continue exploring.

Situ Han (watching his surroundings warily): "Are there any other secrets here? We must be careful."

The two walked along the passage and finally came to a luxuriously decorated and exotic room. In the center of the room was a large round table with some documents and wine glasses scattered on it. It was obvious that there had been a banquet here. However, the most eye-catching thing was a huge safe in the corner of the room, which was inlaid with a complex combination lock.

Xu Youran (pointing at the safe): "Will this safe contain the answers we have been looking for?"

Situ Han nodded and began to try to unlock the combination lock. After some effort, the safe finally opened slowly. What was hidden inside was not gold and silver treasures, but a thick stack of documents and a yellowed photo. The person in the photo was the founder of "Dark Shadow Workshop" and a group of followers around him with different expressions.

Situ Han (flipping through the documents): "These documents record all the criminal activities of the 'Dark Shadow House', as well as evidence of its collusion with the government and business circles of S City. This photo is a group photo taken when they were first established."

Xu Youran (staring at the photo): "Behind every smile, there is a secret that cannot be told. But this is not all. I always feel that there are deeper mysteries that have not been solved."

Just as the two were immersed in the joy of discovery, a slight noise suddenly came from a corner of the room. They turned around quickly and saw a figure quickly flash out of the door.

Situ Han (quickly chased after him): "Don't let him get away! He might know more!"

Xu Youran followed closely behind, and the two of them shuttled through the complex structure of the warehouse and finally chased to a seemingly abandoned corner. However, when they got there, they found that the figure had disappeared without a trace.

Xu Youran (panting): "Where did he escape to?"

Situ Han (looking around, his eyes fell on a hidden switch in the corner): "There should be another exit here. It seems that the secrets of 'Shadow House' are far more than we imagined."

He pressed the switch, and a wall slowly moved away, revealing a passage leading to the outside world. At the end of the passage, there were faint sounds of singing, dancing and laughter, which came from the direction of the most famous dance hall in S City.

Situ Han (brows furrowed): "The dance hall... could that be the starting point of our next case?"

Xu Youran (thoughtfully): "Maybe. But no matter what, we will not give up on finding the truth. Because in this city, evil may be hidden in every corner."
