When My Brother Discovered the Truth About My Death

　　Several police officers who were investigating the case slept in the car for the whole night, and the people on duty tried to fish out my fingers overnight.

　　Early in the morning, the third search was over, but they still found nothing.

　　Xavier woke up early. He looked grim when the rescue team members all frowned.

　　Carson came over and said with a serious face, "It seems that the key to this case is the fingers."

　　"What's wrong with the fingers?"

　　Xavier replied coldly, "There is either evidence of a murder or clues of the deceased's identity on them."

　　After a while, Carson suddenly remembered something and immediately grabbed Xavier's arm.

　　"Xavier, if I remember right, Harper lost two fingers on her right hand, didn't she?"

　　The look of panic on his face stunned Xavier for a moment.

　　He said impatiently, "She's missing two fingers, not five."

　　"I didn't cut off her hand!"

　　Carson's eyes flickered as he said warily, "No, call Harper now. I'm getting more and more flustered."

　　Hearing this, Xavier said disdainfully, "Her father is a perverted murderer. Even if something happens, she is on his side! Stop worrying!"

　　After saying this, he didn't notice the disappointment in Carson's eyes.

　　Just as Carson was about to call me, Xavier's phone rang.

　　When he saw the name on the screen, his face instantly softened.

　　When he answered the phone, his tone became gentle.

　　"What's wrong, Chloe?"

　　"Nothing. Harper came and wished me a happy birthday. I told her you were not home, and she left."

　　Carson was very close to Xavier and could hear Chloe's voice.

　　He heaved a sigh of relief in an instant.

　　Xavier snapped, "Get her out of there! She just pretended to be kind. She wished you a happy birthday but left when she knew I was not with you."

　　"She has no conscience! She used your identity for 12 years and will never be able to repay you for the rest of her life!"

　　"She wished you a happy birthday and that's it?"

　　My heart, which had ached for six years, was completely broken at this moment.

　　Xavier, I'd give my life back to her now.

　　I didn't want anything.

　　No one could hear my voice, let alone feel my despair.

　　I watched helplessly as they returned to the police station without finding anything.

　　Xavier strode in and asked the person on duty last night, "Did you receive any report of missing girls? If you did, let me know!"

　　The news of a floating body retrieved at the bottom of the river last night quickly reached the police station. Everyone looked grave.

　　Without getting the answer he wanted, Xavier walked out with a gloomy face.

　　He grumbled, "Her parents are not responsible. The girl has been missing for a whole day, but they didn't call the police yet. Today's world is dangerous for girls. Don't they have any common sense? They are really bad parents! When I see them, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"

　　Carson couldn't help but sigh. "I guess when they see the body, they'll learn their lesson!"

　　Xavier rubbed his eyes, looking tired.

　　Thinking of the shopping bag in the car, he made a request.

　　"There is no progress in the case for the time being. Today is Chloe's 18th birthday. I'll go back and give her the gift now. It won't take me long. I told the lab to call me at any time when the result comes out. And I'll be there as soon as possible."

　　I froze on the spot. I couldn't believe that my brother would put aside the case for Chloe's birthday.

　　He used to be a perfect policeman in my heart, just like my father.

　　He couldn't even sleep well until he investigated the case thoroughly.

　　When I was a child, I admired my father the most. I was even determined to be a good policeman after I grew up.

　　But after finding out who I really was, I completely lost this opportunity.

　　Xavier mocked me and ripped open my old wounds without mercy.
