Yu Niaoniao's voice trembled.
"In that case, Mother and stepfather were killed first before being set on fire to destroy the evidence?"
Lo Pingsha carefully put down the skull and nodded.
"From the current autopsy results, that should be the case."
Yu Niaoniao's eyes turned even redder. She muttered distractedly, "They were indeed killed. This isn't an accident. This is murder."
Ling Hai could not help but ask, "If both of them died under a knife, why didn't the coroner find out when he did the autopsy back then?"
Yu Niaoniao said, "Back then, the coroner only took a few glances to confirm that my parents died in a fire."
Lo Pingsha had seen many cases of this. He took the initiative to explain.
"The surface will turn pitch-black after the body is charred. The wound will be hidden. Unless you cut open the body, it's very difficult to discover the real cause of death. Many coroners don't go that far."
