“You are quite a smooth talker.


    ”


    Though it was a mild rebuke, Nathan wasn’t truly upset.


    He gestured for Sonny to follow him inside.


    “Come in.


    ”


    Once inside, Sonny handed the investigative documents to Nathan.


    Nathan quickly scanned the document and asked, “What’s your take on the investigation?”


    “It’s been challenging,” Sonny began.


    “The incident urred over twenty years ago, and the records from that time are scarce.


    I’ve contacted all the news agencies in Stastle and only found a few reports on the car ident.


    ”


    Nathan frowned, puzzled.


    “Given that the Payne family was prominent, even if not the wealthiest, the death of my father-the eldest son poised to inherit significant influence-should have been headline news nationwide.


    How is it possible it was barely covered?”


    Sonny nodded in agreement.


    “I find it highly suspicious too.


    Your parents were well-known figures; their deaths in a car ident should have drawn major media attention.


    Yet, none of the major news outlets in Stastle have any archives of such reports, just a few mentions in lesser-known papers.


    ”


    He paused, then continued with a solemn tone, “Also, the news articles I found are scant on details about the ident.


    They merely state that the driver was intoxicated and speeding.


    After the crash, he made a substantial payment and was subsequently sentenced to death.


    ”


    A death sentence?


    For a traffic incident, the situation must have been particrly grave to warrant such a penalty.


    It suggested the driver was not only drunk but possibly involved in a hit-and-run.


    There might have been additionalplicating factors.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Nathan’s expression darkened as he reviewed the sparse details in the reports.


    Given the passage of so many years, any minor evidence would have been obliterated by time.


    Apart from these articles, the individual responsible had been executed, and no witnesses remained, Leaving the case cold and nearly impossible to pursue further.


    Was Mylo their only lead left in uncovering the truth?


    Nathan’s demeanor became grave and resolute, his lips pressed tightly together as he contemted deeply.


    Seeing Nathan’s distressed state, Sonny sighed and offered, “Can you give me more time? I’ll assemble arger team and do our best to locate any witnesses or clues that might still exist.


    ”


    Nathan remained silent for a moment.


    Considering the capabilities of the National Security Bureau, the fact that it took Sonny two whole days to scratch the surface of what seemed Like a straightforward case suggested that the issue’splexity had grown with time.


    Nathan rubbed his forehead, determined not to give up easily.


    “Okay, go over it again.


    Take your time; make sure it’s thorough and Leave no stone unturned.


    ”


    “Okay.


    ”


    Sonny then bowed and exited Nathan’s office.


    Minutes after his departure, Nathan continued to scrutinize the clipped newspaper articles.


    A daring hypothesis began to form in his mind.


    His grandfather had been a formidable figure in the military,manding respect and fear.
