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

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was thin, and the shadows of the Gu family's old house seemed to hide countless pairs of prying eyes. Xu Youran and Situ Han walked into this ancient house side by side, each step was stepping on the dust of history, but their hearts were burning with a fiery pursuit of the truth.

Entering the first crime scene, the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood and uneasiness. Xu Youran put on gloves, squatted down, and carefully examined every trace on the ground. Her eyes were sharp and she did not miss any subtle clues.

Xu Youran (talking to herself): "These footprints are messy, but if you look closely, there are some places with different depths. It is obvious that they are not formed naturally. Someone deliberately created chaos."

Situ Han was holding a magnifying glass, searching for possible clues on the wall. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by an inconspicuous scratch, a long and thin mark that seemed to have been deliberately made with a fingernail.

Situ Han (pondering): "Here, look. This scratch seems to be related to the mysterious symbols we found at other sites."

The two exchanged glances and continued their investigation without further ado. They checked every item in the room one by one, from the placement of tables and chairs to the folds of curtains, leaving no corners that might hide secrets.

With the assistance of the police, Xu Youran and Situ Han questioned the victim's family in detail. Victim B's family member was still emotional, but her words revealed some key information.

Victim's family member B (clenched fists, tears in eyes): "I... I've always felt that something was wrong. My uncle once mentioned some secrets in the Gu family's old house. He said that the treasures would bring disaster. I always thought he was joking, but I didn't expect..."

Xu Youran (gently): "Can you tell me in detail about the secret your uncle mentioned? Any details may be helpful to us."

Through patient and meticulous questioning, they learned about the rumor of the treasure left by the ancestors of the Gu family and how this wealth became a curse in the mouths of later generations. Although this information is scattered, it provides a new direction for the case.

At the same time, the S City police were also tracking down the suspect. Captain Li led a team to investigate the clues left at the scene and finally found suspicious traces in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Captain Li (via radio): "You Ran, Mr. Han, we found a suspected suspect's hideout on the outskirts of the city. But the suspect seemed to be alert and has fled the scene. He left behind some strange symbols and a diary."

Xu Youran and Situ Han immediately rushed to the scene and carefully studied the diary left behind. This diary recorded every bit of the Gu family's history and how a mysterious man approached the Gu family's treasure step by step.

Situ Han (flipping through the diary, frowning): "This mysterious man... he seems to know the history of the Gu family very well, and his goal is very clear, which is to find the treasure."

Xu Youran (pondering): "So, why did he commit these murders? Was it to cover up something, or to warn us?"

Just as the two were lost in thought, the mysterious old man who claimed to be a distant relative of the Gu family appeared again. He looked even older, but his eyes were shining with wisdom.

Mysterious old man (speaking slowly): "The truth you are pursuing is far more complicated than you think. The Gu family treasure is not just a fortune, it is also the key connecting the past and the future."

Xu Youran (surprised): "Key? What do you mean?"

The mysterious old man (smiles and leaves a riddle): "The key not only opens the door to the treasure, but also the lock of people's hearts. Only when you understand the meaning of this sentence can you truly get close to the truth."

After saying that, the mysterious old man disappeared into the night, leaving Xu Youran and Situ Han looking at each other in bewilderment.

Through a series of investigations and reasoning, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually pieced together the fragments of the truth. They discovered that there was a huge conspiracy behind these murders - a conspiracy to use the Gu family treasure to control the entire S city. And Su Wanqing was one of the key figures in this conspiracy.

However, despite the large amount of evidence, they still failed to catch Su Wanqing directly. She was like a ghost, controlling everything in the dark, making it difficult to figure out.

Situ Han (pondering): "There must be a more powerful force behind Su Wanqing. We must be more cautious and not let her detect our movements."

Xu Youran (firmly): "That's right. No matter how powerful she is, we will not give up. The truth will definitely come to light."

Just as the two were about to leave the abandoned warehouse, Xu Youran accidentally found a yellowed map fragment in the corner of the warehouse. This map was very similar to the ancient map they found in the Gu family's old house, but it was more detailed, marking the exact path to the final hiding place of the treasure.

Xu Youran (with a hint of surprise in her eyes): "Look! This fragment of the map seems to point to a specific location!"

Situ Han (took the map and looked at it carefully): "Yes, and the markings here match the descriptions we saw in the diary. This is most likely the clue we have been looking for."

The two looked at each other, their hearts surging with excitement and anxiety. This discovery undoubtedly led them to the core of the truth, but it also meant that greater danger was waiting for them.

Xu Youran (in a serious tone): "Situ, what should we do next? Should we go directly to this place?"

Situ Han (pondering for a moment): "No, we can't act rashly. Since Su Wanqing and her accomplices have set up such a big scheme, they must have set up many traps there. We need a careful plan and more helpers."

Xu Youran (nods in agreement): "Yes, we have to contact Captain Li and the police and ask them to assist us. At the same time, we must be careful to keep it secret and not let Su Wanqing know what we are doing."

The two decided to return to the police station immediately to discuss the next action plan with the police. On the way out of the warehouse, Xu Youran suddenly stopped and looked back at the ruins illuminated by the moonlight, with an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

Xu Youran (whispering to herself): "I feel like... this isn't over yet. Su Wanqing, what bigger conspiracy are you planning?"

Situ Han (softly comforting): "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what she plans, we won't let her succeed."

In the night, the figures of the two gradually faded away, but their persistence in the pursuit of truth and their adherence to justice were like the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding them forward.

In the police station, after a night of discussion and preparation, Xu Youran and Situ Han finally worked out a detailed action plan. They decided to launch a surprise attack on the treasure hidden in the mountains in the early morning while the fog was still there.

However, when they were about to set off, an anonymous letter quietly appeared on the desk of the police station. There was only one sentence in the letter: "The real treasure is in your heart."

Xu Youran (frowns, picks up the letter): "What does this mean? The real treasure is in our hearts?"

Situ Han (pondering for a moment, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes): "Perhaps, this is not only a reminder to us, but also a metaphor for the entire case. The real treasure is not just the gold and silver, but also our determination and courage to pursue the truth and uphold justice."
