Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao comforted her in a low voice over the phone, but she could not control the girls' cries on the other end.

"Yaoyao, who on Earth has such a deep hatred for Zhou Xiaoxia and her family? Why must they be so cruel? I just received a letter from Zhou Xiaoxia the day before yesterday. She said that she worked part-time to save some money. When she has enough money, she will come to Nanjiang City to visit us on Labor Day next year." Li Yi was crying so hard that she could not even speak clearly. "It was as if we were still together two days ago. How did she suddenly die?"

The family's murder in Nanjiang City had aroused the attention of half of the cities in the country. Even newspaper agencies in larger and more developed cities like Nanjiang City sent reporters to Jindo City. The incident was also reported in the local newspaper in Nanjiang city.

The information in the newspaper that Li Yi and the others saw was more detailed than what Jiang Yao knew. It was so detailed that they could see Zhou Xiaoxia's family's death from the newspaper.

Many days had passed since the incident. Lu Xingzhi had also been in Lanning for many days. On the second day after he arrived, Lu Xingzhi talked to Jiang Yao about the Zhou family in Yuan City.

There was no progress in the case's investigation. No one in Zhou Xiaoxia's and Zhou Xiaoguang's universities knew when they left the university. No one in the Zhou family's neighbors had seen any suspicious strangers, and no one had heard any noises on the night of the incident.

However, the autopsy report was released, and the detailed examination results confirmed all of the initial speculations. The Zhou family members were first drugged with sleeping pill-laced water, and then their throats were slit.

There were signs of external wounds on the victims, and there was also contaminated water in their nasal cavities. Therefore, they must have been forced to drink the water. That was the most painful torture the four had suffered before they died.

Therefore, Lu Xingzhi was correct when he said that the Zhou family's death was not painful.

"According to the newspaper, Xiaoxia's family was murdered for revenge. Who could they have offended to have their lives taken so ruthlessly?" Lin Qiaoyu was also sobbing uncontrollably.

"The police are still investigating the Zhou family's interpersonal relationships." Jiang Yao sighed. "However, the investigations so far have been useless because they were simple people."

The entire city should be able to think of one person when discussing the Zhou family's enemies—the Chai family.

However, the two Chai family members were already dead. Chief Chai died in prison, and Chai Xianglong died in the hospital.

Even if the Qian family was involved, their only family members were Old Master Qian and an illegitimate child who had been sent abroad by Qian Zhibin a long time ago and had yet to reach adulthood.

Even if one wanted to implicate the Qian family behind the scenes of the Chai family, the only members of the Qian family were old master Qian and an illegitimate child who had been sent abroad by Qian Zhibin a long time ago and had yet to reach adulthood.

The Qian family was a mess. Furthermore, Old Master Qian had been hospitalized after Qian Zhibin's death. Master Qian was in poor health. Every day, he had to rely on the doctors and medicine in the hospital to stay alive. Others had long nibbled away at the power he held. He lay in bed unconscious for longer than he was awake every day. How could he possibly have access to the Zhou family?

Lu Xingzhi also said that even if Old Master Qian desired vengeance, he would not seek out Zhou Xiaoxia's family. That was because Zhou Xiaoxia's family had no animosity toward the Qian family. Compared to the old and new enemies, they should look at their own family members.
