Forensic Doctor: Finding the Way Back to the Mystery of Ancient Realms
Chapter 117 A gap in trust, a mystery begins againThe night was as dark as ink, the stars were hidden, Situ Han and Xu Youran walked side by side on the stone road back to the city, silence was like an invisible river, lying between the two of them. There was an indescribable depression in the air, it seemed that even the wind had stopped, quietly listening to this heavy silence.
Situ Han (finally spoke, his voice was low): "You Ran, I... I don't know how to face all this."
Xu Youran (stops, turns to face Situ Han, eyes firm): "Han, I understand your doubts, but I assure you that everything I do is to find the truth. Give me time, and give yourself time, and we will uncover all the secrets together."
Situ Han looked at Xu Youran, complex emotions flashing in his eyes. In the end, he just sighed softly and didn't say anything more.
The next morning, S City was shocked by a new bizarre case. An unidentified body was found under an old locust tree in the east of the city. The identity of the deceased was unknown, but the scars on his body were strikingly similar to those of a family murder case during the Republic of China. The news quickly spread throughout the city, and once again pushed Xu Youran and Situ Han to the forefront.
Xu Youran and Situ Han quickly rushed to the scene, only to see the deceased lying quietly under the old locust tree, with a few withered yellow leaves scattered around, adding a bit of sadness to the case.
Xu Youran (squatting down and carefully examining the body): "The wound is very clean, and he was killed with one strike. The method is highly consistent with the murders of families during the Republic of China period."
Situ Han (frown): "It seems that our previous speculation was correct. There is indeed some connection between these cases."
They searched the scene carefully and finally found a yellowed note in the seam of the deceased's clothes. On it was written in ancient fonts: "The truth will never sleep."
Since the identity of the deceased is unknown, Xu Youran and Situ Han can only start from the surrounding residents to try to find clues related to the deceased. During the visit, they met an old woman who claimed that she had seen the deceased appear in a nearby teahouse before his death.
The old woman (with shaking hands): "That man, I often see him coming to drink tea, always alone, not talkative. But he always holds an old book in his hand, as if he is looking for something."
Xu Youran (sharply grasping the key information): "Old books? Do you know what book he was reading?"
The old woman shook her head, but her description gave Xu Youran an inexplicable premonition.
Based on the old woman's description, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to check all the major bookstores and used book markets in the city. After some effort, they finally found the old book that was repeatedly mentioned in an inconspicuous used bookstore - "The Secret History of the Yun Family".
Bookstore owner (looking nervous): "This book...someone came to ask about it a few days ago, but I remember he said he just took a look and left without buying anything."
Situ Han (asking): "What does he look like? Do you remember?"
The bookstore owner tried hard to recall and finally drew a blurry portrait. Although the portrait was not clear, Xu Youran saw a sense of familiarity in it.
Xu Youran (thoughtfully): "I think I've seen this person somewhere."
As the investigation deepens, the trust crisis between Xu Youran and Situ Han becomes more serious. Situ Han's suspicion of Xu Youran makes him always cautious in his actions, while Xu Youran feels painful and helpless because of this distrust.
Situ Han (in a late-night conversation): "You Ran, I really hope you can tell me everything. Even if the truth is cruel, I am willing to bear it."
Xu Youran (with tears in her eyes): "Han, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the time has not come yet. Believe me, everything I do is for us, to uncover all the secrets."
While investigating the "Secret History of the Yun Family", Xu Youran and Situ Han discovered a series of clues related to the S City family extermination case during the Republic of China period. These clues, like thin threads, led them to a larger and more complex conspiracy.
Whenever it was late at night, Xu Youran would always sit alone in front of the window, staring at the moonlight outside, her heart filled with uncertainty about the future and memories of the past. She knew that she had to find the truth as soon as possible, otherwise, she and Situ Han would be in an irretrievable situation.
Just when Xu Youran and Situ Han were about to uncover the truth behind "The Secret History of the Yun Family", an unexpected person appeared in their sight - a mysterious woman who claimed to be a descendant of the Yun family. She held a secret letter and claimed that only Xu Youran could decipher the secret in the letter, and this secret was the key to solving all the mysteries.
The mysterious woman (with an unquestionable firmness in her tone): "Xu Youran, you and my Yun family are inextricably linked. This letter is the last piece of the puzzle for you to find the truth."
Xu Youran took the letter and gently stroked the edge of the envelope with her fingers. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She looked at Situ Han, and their eyes met. Without saying anything, they both understood the importance of this letter.
Xu Youran (took a deep breath and said to the mysterious woman): "I will read the letter and continue our investigation. But I hope you can tell me why it was me? What is the connection between me and the Yun family?"
The mysterious woman smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to hide endless vicissitudes and sorrow.
Mysterious woman (sighs): "Now is not the time. You need to find the truth by yourself. But please remember, no matter what the result is, you are not facing it alone."
After saying that, the mysterious woman turned around and disappeared into the night, leaving only Xu Youran and Situ Han standing there, each lost in deep thought.
Situ Han (looking at Xu Youran's back, with a complicated tone): "Youran, are you...really ready to face all this?"
Xu Youran turned around with a determined look.
Xu Youran (nods): "I have no way out. Whether for myself or for those innocent victims, I must find the truth."
In the night, the figures of the two gradually faded away, and the mystery of S City seemed to become more confusing at this moment.
As the investigation deepens, Xu Youran gradually discovers that her connection with the Yun family is much deeper than she imagined. And those seemingly isolated cases are actually part of the same huge conspiracy. She realizes that she is being drawn into a vortex that is enough to subvert the entire S City and even the entire Republic of China.
As for Situ Han, facing Xu Youran's secrets and changes, trust and suspicion are constantly intertwined in his heart. He hopes that Xu Youran can be honest with him, but he is also afraid that the truth will completely break their relationship.
Just when everything seems to be about to reach a boiling point, a new clue quietly emerges - a forgotten diary, recording a dusty history and a shocking secret. This secret will be directly related to Xu Youran's identity, and the trust crisis that she and Situ Han will soon face...
