rich daughter reincarnates as her eighteen year old self to rescue her younger brothers

Chapter 778: Photo

Editor: Henyee Translations

The photo depicted a fierce wild beast, resembling a wild boar but more ferocious.

Lu Si furrowed his brow slightly. “This is…”

“The beast that killed your parents. The investigators went to nearby areas to inquire and unexpectedly found someone who had taken a photo of the beast previously.” Mr. Lu spoke with a pained expression.

Lu Si stared at the photo intensely, as if trying to bore a hole through it with his stare.

Mei Shu subtly patted his arm. “According to the reports at the time, to pacify the public, the authorities killed the beast. Recently, Hei Bao told me that after the beast’s death, its skin was stripped and disappeared without a trace. Perhaps we can investigate this angle.”

Lu Si curled his lips, touched Mei Shu’s head, then put the photo back and proceeded to examine other materials. His facial expression was no longer that tense.

There’s a lot more information available, much of it related to that beast. The people sent by Mr. Lu to investigate have asked many locals, and many of them said they had seen the beast before the accidents happened.

At that time, they thought it was just a wild boar, and there were quite a few brave young people in the area who wanted to form teams to go hunting.

“So many people saw this beast?” Mei Shu followed Lu Si’s gaze and sensed that something was amiss.

She took out the photo again. It seemed to have been taken near dusk, very clear, showing the beast’s face and even its fangs.

As soon as Mei Shu asked that question, Lu Si also realized that something was wrong. He and Mei Shu looked at each other.

Both of them understood each other’s meaning.

Mr. Lu, unaware of their silent communication, looked at Lu Si in confusion. “What riddle are you two playing?”

Mei Shu explained her findings to Mr. Lu.

“Grandpa, look at this photo. The person who took it said he encountered the beast accidentally and snapped the picture. From the angle and clarity, he must have been quite close to the beast. Normally, getting that close would startle the creature, yet the photographer remained unharmed.”

Mei Shu spoke calmly, and Mr. Lu understood immediately.

If the photographer could get so close to the beast without provoking it, it meant the creature wasn’t as aggressive as believed. It wouldn’t attack unless provoked.

Then why did it attack Lu Si’s parents? It was inconceivable that they would provoke the beast knowingly.

This was definitely impossible.

Moreover, so many people had encountered that beast without any issues, yet it was Lu Si’s parents who met with trouble.

After all these years, Mr. Lu still couldn’t believe it was an accident. He had visited the police station many times. The authorities knew his identity and naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. However, no matter how they investigated, it was still just an incident of a wild animal injuring people.

They couldn’t find out anything more, so in the end, they had to close the case as an accident.

There were many documents in the folder, but they seemed scattered. Unable to find more clues, they decided to leave for now.

Back home, they went through the file folder again but couldn’t find any more useful information.

They could only resort to reviewing news articles related to the incident.

Just when they were at a loss, Mei Shu’s phone rang.

It was Black Panther.

Mei Shu quickly answered, knowing he might have made progress on the matter she had asked him to keep an eye on.

Sure enough, Black Panther’s rugged voice was full of excitement.

“Hey, there’s progress on the thing you asked me to investigate!”

Mei Shu glanced at Lu Si and then switched on the speakerphone. “What progress?”

“That beast was skinned back then,” Hei Bao said. “I found the person in charge at the time, and he said the beast’s skin was taken by a woman.”

“Do you know who that woman is?” Mei Shu inquired.

Hei Bao sighed. “All I know is her surname is Su, nothing else.”

“Su?” Mei Shu frowned, then instinctively glanced at Lu Si.

Unaware of their situation, Hei Bao sighed. “It’s been too long since the incident. Investigating further will be difficult.”

“You’ll get every penny I promise to pay you,” Lu Si suddenly said.

Black Panther fell silent for a moment. “That’s all I’ve found for now. I’ll inform you if there are any new developments. Goodbye!”
