Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Closest Person Is Only Aunt Lan
Aunt Lan looked as rciful as a Bodhisattva, making it hard to associate her with the murderer who had drained the blood of five young girls.
Su Yan thought there could only be two possibilities: either Aunt Lan was a highly skilled actress, or she had a dissociative identity disorder.
However, the latter seed more likely.
This was because when she ntioned the incident of five girls being murdered in Linglan City, the sorrow on her face didn’t seem feigned.
“Aunt Lan, since my husband is free today, why don’t we all have dinner together tonight?” Su Yan suggested.
She planned to stay here and watch if Aunt Lan had any opportunity to go out and commit murder.
...
Aunt Lan looked at Chu Yuxiao, who nodded and said,
“Aunt, I seldom dine with you, so how about I stay and accompany you today?”
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Chu Yuxiao was cooperating with her.
“That would be wonderful, Aunt. I also want to dine with you.
It seems we’ve dined together no more than twice a year.
Now that you are married, it’s a perfect occasion for a family reunion dinner.”
Chu Yuxiao smiled guiltily,
“Aunt, I feel terrible about leaving you alone here.”
Aunt Lan took his hand, gently patted the back of his hand, and smiled lovingly,
“Silly child, don’t bla yourself.
I chose to stay here on my own.
Your sister is alone and feels lonely; I keep her company, so she is not so loneso…”
“Aunt, you must stay healthy so that I can continue to honor you.”
“My dear, your intention is enough.
I believe if your sister could see you today, she would be very happy…”
As Aunt Lan spoke, she couldn’t help but shed a tear.
Chu Yuxiao took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the tear from the corner of her eye.
His expression was tender, and though he was clumsy, his movents were quite natural.
Su Yan thought that he truly respected Aunt Lan.
Being orphaned at a young age, the only person left who was kindest to him and closest to him was Aunt Lan.
Now knowing that Aunt Lan was the murderer, his heart must be in great pain…
