When My Brother Discovered the Truth About My Death

　　When I was killed, my elder brother Xavier was picking out a dress for his sister's 18th birthday.

　　The last sentence he said to me was, "Mind yourself. Don't come to me even if you're going to die in the next two days!"

　　However, he was summoned to the police station early in the morning to investigate a serious case. So, Chloe's 18th birthday celebration was delayed because of me.

　　After reading the autopsy report, Xavier concluded that it was a hate crime.

　　I smiled in relief.

　　"Xavier, you don't have to curse me anymore."

　　"I'm really dead."

　　After the first piece of my body was found, the police rushed to the scene.

　　They searched in the river for three days and barely managed to find all the pieces. Later, five medical examiners worked all night and finally pieced them together.

　　The most experienced one looked shocked. He took off his gloves and wiped his sweat while saying,

　　"This is the most tragic death I've ever seen since I entered the industry."

　　The surrounding police officers all looked serious. Even the medical examiner said so, so it was not easy to find clues.

　　It was extremely difficult to solve the case.

　　By the time Xavier arrived, the first round of autopsy had just ended.

　　He was panting heavily with a shopping bag in his hand.

　　Several young policemen rushed up to find clues, but as soon as they approached, they vomited all over the river bank.

　　Carson approached Xavier and looked at the shopping bag in his hand with a frown.

　　"What is it? Your two younger sisters' birthday gifts? It's inappropriate to bring it here. Don't you think?"

　　Only then did Xavier suddenly remember what he was holding in his hand. When he heard Carson mention me, he frowned and looked unhappy.

　　"My two younger sisters? I, Xavier Cullen, only have one younger sister. That's Chloe!"

　　"That bitch isn't worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Chloe. She's bad luck! My father traded his life for hers. She will definitely not live long, so a birthday celebration is not necessary for her! She needs a funeral."

　　The undisguised hatred in his tone made my heart bleed.

　　I was afraid I didn't have a funeral anymore.

　　No one would come to claim my body.

　　Hearing this, Carson heaved a long sigh. "Calvin sacrificed his life to save her. Think about it. Harper didn't do anything wrong. She is also a victim. It was Calvin's own choice to save her. Why do you hate her so much?"

　　Xavier pursed his lips tightly and frowned, but he didn't respond.

　　He turned around, got in the car, and put down the shopping bag. Then, he quickly changed into his police uniform and began to investigate the case.

　　Carson handed the autopsy report to him with a grave expression.

　　"Can you see any clues?"

　　"The deceased should be 16 or 18 years old and thin. Her body was soaked in the water for too long, so I couldn't see any clues on it or any traces of the murderer."

　　"The way the murderer broke the body seems to be lethal. They might have built up a resentment for a long time."

　　"The DNA sample has been sent to the lab. Now we can only see if there are any cases of missing persons reported recently. I'm afraid that a special investigation team will be set up since the murderer has lost his humanity. We must arrest him as soon as possible to avoid panic."

　　Xavier nodded as he listened. His eyes widened when they fell on "missing fingers" on the report.

　　"Five fingers are missing? Did he cut off her hands?"

　　Carson's face darkened. "I'm not sure if we've got an intact body or if the murderer deliberately left fingers. The second search is in progress. There should be a result tomorrow."

　　After that, he looked at Xavier cautiously.

　　"The deceased is about the same age as your two sisters. Tell them to be more careful. Don't go to the wild. Wait until the murderer is arrested and brought to justice."

　　Xavier nodded and put away the report in his hand.

　　"I've had someone around Chloe's residence. Since she got rescued, I've been vigilant all the time."

　　Carson looked at him disapprovingly. "Although you are not related to Harper by blood, she has lived in your house for 12 years after all. When you didn't learn that your biological sister was abducted, you cared about her very much, didn't you?"

　　Tears welled up in Xavier's eyes at this.

　　"Because I used to treat her as my own sister, I hated myself even more when I knew that she had made my real sister fall into the hands of a perverted murderer for 12 years!"

　　"She's the daughter of a murderer. How could she be a good person? She hid around me for so long and my father risked his life to save her! She deserves to die. Why wasn't she ending up dead in the river today?"
