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

The first rays of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist, illuminating the path leading to the mountains. Xu Youran and Situ Han walked side by side in front, followed by the S City police team ready to go. The air was filled with tension and anticipation.

Situ Han (looking back at the team): "Everyone cheer up, today we will uncover the biggest mystery of the past thirty years."

Xu Youran (nods, looks determined): "Yes, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we must find the answer."

As the group went deeper into the forest, the surrounding scenery became more and more quiet and mysterious. Following the clues in the anonymous letter, they finally came to a hidden cave.

Entering the cave, a cold breath hits you. Xu Youran quickly turns on the flashlight and begins to search every corner carefully. The interior of the cave is intricate and full of traces of time.

Xu Youran (discovered an anomaly): "Look here, there seem to be traces of human carving on these stone walls."

Situ Han took a closer look and saw some ancient symbols and patterns carved on the stone wall, which were very similar to those they had found at other sites.

Situ Han (pondering): "These symbols... seem to be leading us somewhere."

They followed the signs and passed through narrow passages until they finally came to a spacious cavern. In the center of the cavern stood an ancient stone box with intricate keyholes carved into it.

Just as they were about to examine the stone box further, a slight noise aroused their vigilance.

Xu Youran (turned around quickly, his hand already grasping the gun handle): "Who? Come out!"

Following the sound of footsteps, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows. The man was wearing a hood, and his face was completely covered, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Mysterious man (sneer): "You are finally here, but do you think you can find the truth like this?"

Situ Han (responding calmly): "We are not here for the treasure, we just want to uncover all the mysteries."

The mysterious man did not answer, but suddenly attacked and started a fierce fight with Situ Han and Xu Youran. After a fierce battle, the mysterious man finally escaped, leaving behind a meaningful smile and an unfinished sentence: "The real game has just begun."

At this time, Captain Li, a representative of the S City Police, arrived with reinforcements. Together, they blocked the exit and began searching inside and outside the cave. At the same time, the victims' families also rushed over after hearing the news. They were emotional but full of hope.

Victim's family member A** (with tears streaming down his face): "Please, please find the truth and let our loved ones rest in peace."

Captain Li (comforting): "Don't worry, we will do our best."

During the investigation, they also met an old man who claimed to be the guardian of the cave. The old man knew the history of the cave very well, but kept silent about the secret of the treasure.

Cave Guardian (sighs): "Young man, there are some things you cannot touch. Behind the treasure, there are too many sins and sacrifices."

Through a series of investigations and reasoning, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually pieced together the outline of the whole incident. It turns out that the treasure in the Gu family's old house is not only a fortune, but also an ancient legend about power, revenge and redemption. And the mysterious man is the mastermind behind all this. He uses the treasure as bait to try to subvert the order of S City.

Xu Youran (pondering): "So, these murders...are all to cover up this secret?"

Situ Han (nods): "Yes, and I suspect that Su Wanqing is just a chess piece in his hands."

Just as they were about to leave the cave, they were startled by an unexpected discovery. In the corner next to the stone box, there was a yellowed photo of a young woman whose face was strikingly similar to Su Wanqing. On the back of the photo was a line of blurred handwriting: "Next target, the dance hall."

Xu Youran (brows furrowed): "Dance hall? Could it be..."

Situ Han (took the photo, a solemn look flashed in his eyes): "It seems that our challenge is far from over."

They looked at each other and knew in their hearts that a new case was waiting for them. And all of this seemed to be inextricably linked to the mysterious man hiding in the dark.

As clues to the murder of a prostitute in a dance hall gradually surfaced, Xu Youran and Situ Han began a more in-depth investigation. They first went to the crime scene, where a trace of fear and uneasiness still lingered in the air.

Xu Youran (stroking the victim’s cold fingers, eyes full of pity): “This method is too similar to those in previous cases. They are all so cruel and full of ritual.”

Situ Han (squatting beside the body, carefully examining the wound): "Yes, it is almost certain that this was done by the same murderer. Moreover, the identity of the deceased this time is special, and may be related to some secrets of S City."

They questioned the person in charge of the dance hall and the witnesses who were present that night, but most of them just talked in generalities and failed to provide many valuable clues. At this time, a dusty woman caught their attention.

Prostitute B (looking nervous, but with a hint of determination in her eyes): "I know something, but you have to ensure my safety."

It turned out that the woman was a good friend of the deceased and they had worked together in a dance hall. The deceased had accidentally revealed that she might have mastered the secrets of certain people, which was the reason why she was killed.

Xu Youran (speaking softly, trying to comfort the other party): "Don't worry, we are here to find the truth. We will be responsible for your safety to the end."

Under the guidance of the woman, they followed the clues and discovered a secret organization that was related to the victims and the dance hall. On the surface, this organization provided entertainment services for the rich, but in fact it secretly controlled some illegal transactions in S City.

Situ Han (clenching his fists, furious): "Sure enough, it's the evil of power and money again! We must catch them all in one fell swoop!"

However, during the investigation, they accidentally discovered Su Wanqing's secret connection with the organization, which shocked Xu Youran and Situ Han, and also strengthened their determination to uncover the truth.

Xu Youran (looking at Situ Han with complicated eyes): "Situ, what role do you think Su Wanqing plays?"

Situ Han (pondering for a moment): "I dare not jump to conclusions now, but she must know more than we think. We must be careful to avoid alerting the enemy."

Just as they were preparing to conduct a further investigation, an anonymous letter was delivered to them again. The letter contained only a few simple words: "Meet at the abandoned warehouse in the east of the city at noon tomorrow." The signature was a mysterious pattern, the same as the symbol they found in the cave.

Xu Youran (clenching the letter tightly, feeling uneasy): "It seems that the mysterious man is finally going to show up."

Situ Han (with a firm look in his eyes, patting Xu Youran on the shoulder): "Then let's go meet him and see what his purpose is."

"You Ran, Situ Han, welcome to the stage I prepared for you." A low and gloomy voice echoed in the warehouse, as if it was a call from hell.

Can they uncover all the mysteries in this abandoned warehouse? What secrets are hidden behind the mysterious man? And how is all this related to the murder case of a family in S City 30 years ago? All the answers will be revealed in Chapter 100, "The Case of the Murder of a Prostitute in a Dance Hall in S City, Republic of China, Part 1".
