"I can't guarantee this."

Xu Yan didn't promise anything, but only said, "I've checked your father's relationships and business dealings, and he doesn't have any enemies. The servants who left your family over a decade ago all said that your parents were gentle and kind-hearted, and they probably didn't die in a vendetta."

The longer Xu Yan investigated, the more he admired the Shen Qiao couple.

This couple is truly good people. They donate to charities every year, do charity work with their two children, and are responsible for life and passionate about life.

It is really sad that such people died an untimely death.

"Ms. Shen, during my investigation, I discovered that some information was obscured, and I couldn't find it. Also, I've been involved in several accidents, both large and small, over the past few days. This morning, my son was nearly hit on the head by a flower pot on his way to school..."

"It wouldn't matter if it was just me, but I can't put my family in danger. I'm sorry, I can't continue investigating this case. I'll return the money to you."

After Xu Yan finished speaking, he hung up the phone before Shen Lan could speak.

Within a few seconds, Shen Lan received the money he transferred, as well as some information that Xu Yan had recently found out.

More than a decade ago, surveillance equipment was not perfect. When the Shen Qiao family was attacked, the surrounding surveillance systems were destroyed. The police could not find the murderer for a long time and could only close the case hastily.

It took Xu Yan a lot of effort to find out all this.

Shen Lan looked at the relevant information of her parents, her nose was sore, she touched the photo on the screen, and her eyes suddenly reddened: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I haven't found my brother yet, nor have I found the murderer. I'm sorry."

In the photo, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Qiao have soft brows and faint smiles, and they look so lively.

Shen Lan couldn't bear to read on, so she quickly flipped through the information and saw a photo of Lu Chuan.

The background of the photo is the Shen family. The pixels are a bit low, and the characters appear blurry, but the anger and resentment on Lu Chuan's face can be seen clearly.

Xu Yan wrote under the photo that this was taken by a former servant of the Shen family. Because he missed the days at the Shen family, he did not delete any other photos and accidentally kept this one.

Shen Lan looked at Lu Chuan's photo and her hands and feet began to feel cold.

Lu Chuan and her father have been good brothers for many years. How could he kill someone in such a cruel way?

If he really did it, Shen Lan has been in the Lu family for so many years, and Lu Chuan has never revealed any clues. This man is too scary.

Just thinking about it, Shen Lan broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

She tried to calm herself down and thought back to what happened that year.

When the tragedy happened, Shen Lan was only 7 years old. She basically didn't participate in many things at home, and her daily task was to go to school.

She only remembered that the day before, when she and her brother came home from school, her mother informed her that the whole family would go to a nursing home to volunteer on Saturday and Sunday.

Ever since Shen Lan could remember, her parents had taken them to participate in this kind of activity every year, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The place where they were going to volunteer was quite far away, so the family of four checked into a nearby hotel in advance.

The next day, Shen Lan was a little lazy in bed. She was asking her mother to help her get dressed when she heard the doorbell ring in a daze.

Then there was my brother's screams, my father yelling at my mother to lock the door, the sound of a knife cutting into flesh...

Shen Lan was so frightened that she was trembling with fear and was held tightly in her mother's arms. However, the door of the hotel room had been in disrepair for a long time, so the thugs still kicked it open and stabbed her mother in the back.

Just as he was about to finish off the attacker, hotel staff and other guests rushed over upon hearing the noise, and the murderers fled.

When Shen Lan was rescued, his body was covered in his mother's blood and he was in a trance.

In the living room, my father was lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest. His warm eyes were full of bloodshot, staring at the direction of the bedroom, with the lingering emotions of his master before his death.

Reluctant, regretful, in pain, with tears of blood in his eyes and a look of collapse.

My brother has disappeared, leaving behind only a bloody toy plane.

When Shen Lan thought about these things, it was like digging up a wound that had not yet healed. Even breathing was a pain for her.

On such an ordinary day, her world turned upside down.

All the people who loved her were gone. She went from being the little princess of the Shen family to a weed on the roadside, stepped on by everyone who passed by.

The bloody scene in his memory made Shen Lan's face pale, his brain dizzy, his vision blurred, his ears tinnitus, his chest palpitations, and sweat on his forehead.

She leaned on the steering wheel for a while before she slowly came to her senses.

It was also on that day that Shen Lan began to faint at the sight of blood and became afraid of sharp objects. This descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine family couldn't even give people acupuncture.
