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

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights in Xu Youran's study were bright. She and Situ Han were pondering over the mysterious anonymous letter. The words "Be careful of the people around you" in the letter were like a cold blade, cutting the boundary of their trust in each other.

Xu Youran (brows furrowed): "This letter makes me feel more uneasy than ever before. Could it be that there are really enemy spies among us?"

Situ Han (with a firm look): "No matter who it is, we must not lose our composure. The most important thing now is to continue tracking down Su Wanqing's whereabouts and the mastermind mentioned in the diary."

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures, a hurried knock on the door broke the silence.

S City Police Representative ** (panting): "Ms. Xu, Commander Situ, something happened! Another bizarre case has occurred in S City, and this time... this time it's actually related to the paper man!"

The next morning, Xu Youran and Situ Han rushed to the crime scene. The scene was in chaos, with a lifelike paper man placed in the center. The face of the paper man was strikingly similar to the victim, as if it was a prison for the victim's soul.

Xu Youran (squatting down and observing the paper figurine carefully): "The craftsmanship of this paper figurine is very exquisite. It is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Moreover, the look in its eyes... seems to be telling something."

Situ Han (looking around): "It seems that this case is not just about killing people, but also about conveying a certain message."

The two carefully investigated the scene and found some subtle clues, such as a strange piece of mud under the feet of the paper man and the word "revenge" written in blood on the wall in the distance.

Afterwards, they came to the victim's home, where the victim's wife was crying inconsolably.

The victim's wife (with tears streaming down her face): "My husband never offended anyone during his lifetime, why did he suffer such a misfortune? Those paper figures... they appear in my dreams every night, laughing at me and torturing me..."

Xu Youran (gently soothing): "Madam, please rest assured. We will definitely find out the truth and seek justice for your husband."

Through questioning, Xu Youran and Situ Han learned that the victim was a police officer who participated in the investigation of a family murder case thirty years ago. This clue made them realize that this case may be directly related to the family murder case.

Combining the previous investigation, Xu Youran and Situ Han targeted several suspicious people who had contact with Su Wanqing. They found that these people were related to an ancient curse ritual, and paper figurines were an indispensable part of this ritual.

During a late night raid, they successfully captured a suspect involved in the ritual, who, after interrogation, revealed more details about the curse ritual and how Su Wanqing used it to retaliate against those who stood in her way.

Suspect (trembling with fear): "Su Wanqing...she is a lunatic! She wants to use this method to make everyone live in fear!"

As the investigation deepens, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually uncover the truth of the paper man murder case. It turns out that Su Wanqing used this ancient curse ritual to imprison the souls of the victims in paper men in order to avenge those who participated in the investigation of the murder case 30 years ago and those who might threaten her plan.

This discovery made the two men angry and sad, and they became more determined to expose Su Wanqing's crimes. However, in the process of hunting down Su Wanqing, they encountered unprecedented difficulties.

Situ Han (clenching his fist): "Su Wanqing's methods are becoming more and more cruel. We must find her as soon as possible and stop her crazy behavior!"

Xu Youran (with a firm look): "That's right, and I also found that there seems to be some subtle connection between these cases. They are all paving the way for the mastermind behind the scenes. We must find him to put an end to all this!"

With the joint efforts of Xu Youran and Situ Han, they gradually approached the edge of the truth. However, just as they were about to uncover all the mysteries, an even more shocking secret emerged...

Just as Xu Youran and Situ Han were preparing to investigate the mastermind behind the incident, a mysterious package was suddenly delivered to Xu Youran. The package contained a yellowed diary. The owner of the diary turned out to be the victim's father, and he recorded a secret history of the "paper man curse" in the diary.

Xu Youran (reading the diary in shock): "It turns out that this curse ritual is not groundless, but originated from an ancient family... and this family is inextricably linked to the S City massacre!"

She looked up at Situ Han, with shock and expectation in her eyes.

Situ Han (pondering): "It seems that our enemy is far more complicated than we thought. However, this just proves that our direction is correct. As long as we continue to track it down, we will definitely find the mastermind behind it."

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the window of the study opened by itself. A ray of faint light shone in from the window, shining on the diary, as if some indescribable power was spying on them.

Xu Youran (feeling nervous): "Situ, do you feel anything is wrong?"

Situ Han (quickly stood up and walked to the window to check): "Nothing unusual, but it's better to be careful. Our recent actions may have been noticed."

Just as they were about to close the window, a piece of paper was blown up by the wind and landed at Xu Youran's feet. On the paper was written crookedly: "Under the paper man, the truth emerges; on the night of S City, a contest of life and death."

Xu Youran (picking up the note, frowning): "Is this a warning or a guide? In any case, we have to be careful."

Situ Han (holding Xu Youran’s hand and comforting her): “No matter what the road ahead holds, I will always be by your side. We will face it together.”

The two looked at each other, with determination and trust in their eyes. They knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but they also understood that only by revealing all the mysteries could they restore peace to S City.

As night fell, an ominous atmosphere filled the streets of City S. Xu Youran and Situ Han stood in front of the window, staring at every corner of this ancient city, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.

Xu Youran (quietly): "Situ, how many secrets are hidden behind this? Every time we uncover a layer, it's like opening Pandora's box."

Situ Han (after a moment of silence, then said in a deep voice): "No matter how many secrets there are, we must uncover them one by one. Because only in this way can we protect those innocent people and prevent history from repeating itself."

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night. An agent rushed into the study with a panicked look.

Agent (breathing heavily): "Commander, Ms. Xu, something happened! Someone found traces of Su Wanqing in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, and... and the legendary paper man altar!"

Xu Youran and Situ Han (looked at each other, determination flashed in their eyes): "Let's go and take a look!"

As the two people hurried away, the lights in the study gradually dimmed, leaving only the diary lying quietly on the table, as if telling an unfinished story.

Outside the window, the night is thick, and a battle of life and death, love and revenge is about to take place in S City. Can the truth really emerge from under the paper figures? What kind of thrilling things will S City witness at night? Everything will be revealed in Chapter 96, "The Paper Figure Murder Case in S City in the Republic of China, Part 1"...
