Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo exchanged glances. It was indeed because Detective Luo Luo moved his entire family to Hong Kong that he was threatened, and it had made him wary for decades, even forbidding his descendants from returning to their hometown.
Who exactly is that person?
"Was Inspector Luo Luo threatened back then? Was he the one who killed the Gong family?" Lu Mo asked.
Luo Xiong's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously looked at Princess Luo, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Princess Luo patted his hand gently, and Luo Xiong's expression relaxed. He let out a soft sigh. It seemed that Princess Luo was the head of the household. Ye Qingqing remembered that in Princess Luo's family information, the mother's section was blank, and only the father's section was listed.
Moreover, since the mistress of the house hasn't appeared for so long, it's likely that Princess Luo's mother has already passed away.
“I do know some things about what happened back then. My grandfather suffered a stroke before he passed away and was unable to walk for two years. I spent a lot of time with him, and he told me some things about what happened back then. I can discuss these things with you, but the premise is that you must tell the truth. I hope we can talk openly and honestly,” Princess Luo said with a smile.
Lu Mo nodded, "Okay, I did hide some things because they were my friend's privacy."
"Don't worry, I'm not a gossip." Princess Luo's eyes gleamed with excitement.
After waiting for so many years, she finally received a visit from someone connected to the Gong family. It seemed that the unsolved case from back then would soon be solved, bringing solace to her grandfather's spirit in heaven.
It turns out that although Luo Luo came to Hong Kong, he was always depressed and resentful that he had failed to investigate the Gong family massacre. He had a good relationship with Gong Yi, and Gong Yi had even helped him. However, he backed down when the Gong family was murdered.
“My grandfather found some clues back then, but he received threatening letters in blood for three consecutive days. My grandfather didn’t take it to heart, but my third uncle got into trouble.” Princess Luo said, her expression turning somber as she recounted the events of that year.
He couldn't help but add, "Those three blood-written letters all conveyed the same message: they told my father to stop, or else the Luo family would suffer the same fate as the Gong family. My father was friends with Gong Yi, the head of the Gong family. He wanted to find out who the murderer was, so he didn't take it seriously. But my third brother was kidnapped and had two of his fingers cut off. My third brother was already weak, and after that fright, his health deteriorated even further. Alas!"
It was precisely because of the incident involving the third brother that the aunt and father fell out. The aunt resented that her father had sacrificed his own son for outsiders, and this knot in her heart remained untied for decades. It wasn't until before her father passed away that the aunt spoke with him, but no one knows what they said. The aunt also passed away less than two years later.
"So that's why Detective Luo had no choice but to leave Pingjiang with his family?" Lu Mo asked.
Luo Xiong nodded. "My father was worried that something might happen to us brothers again, so he had no choice but to compromise and travel all the way to Hong Kong. He never went back after that, and he always told us not to go back to Pingjiang."
Ye Qingqing found it strange, "So many years have passed, even if the murderer was powerful, he's dead now, what's there to be afraid of?"
Princess Luo nodded. "That's what I thought too, but..."
She didn't say anything more. After all, they were her elders, and she shouldn't make any rash comments. Actually, she felt that it was because her father and uncle were too timid. Her grandfather passed away twenty years ago. At that time, the situation in the inland area was indeed very chaotic. No matter how wise her grandfather was, he couldn't have foreseen what would happen twenty years later. That's why he instructed her not to return to Pingjiang before he died.
But the situation in the inland areas is completely different now. Princess Luo has tried to persuade them several times, but the brothers Luo Xiong and Luo Hua are too timid to go back.
