Chapter 481 - 481 Brutal Murderer
481 Brutal Murderer
Aunt Lu’s brother loved money and thought that since his sister was already dead, her innocence and injustice should be gone with the wind. How could a real car and house not be more attractive?
Just as he was deep in thought, a calm voice suddenly sounded. “I request to call the police.”
A huge crack appeared on Mr. Lu’s elegant face. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Qianyu standing at the door.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They did not expect Lu Qianyu to come.
She was followed by two police officers.
“Qianyu?” Old Madam Lu looked stunned.
Lu Qianyu glanced at her grandmother indifferently. Her gaze was cold. After all, the grandmother in her memory had never had a trace of love for her. Every time, she would either hit her or scold her for being a good-for-nothing.
“Qianyu, why are you here?” Mr. Lu stood up in shock.
Qianyu said, “I heard about her death. The officer gave me a few hours of parole.”
Qiao An was relieved. “Qianyu, you came at the right time. Your uncle and your father are arguing about the cause of your mother’s death. Now that you’re here, I think you’re the most qualified to make the decision for her.”
Qianyu said, “I’ve said it. Get the police to deal with it.”
Her father and uncle were a little panicked. Her father said, “Qianyu, why waste the country’s resources? Your mother hung herself in shame after hearing about your tragic incident. Go to the mourning hall and take a look at her body. You’ll know that I’m not lying.”
Qianyu’s gaze swept across Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou’s faces, and they shook their heads at her almost imperceptibly. Qianyu insisted, “Our family is filled with darkness. I think only by calling the police can this family be restored to light.”
Grandma fell to the ground in fear.
At this moment, Qianyu walked out. “I’ll go see her.”
Father Lu followed behind her in a panic. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll take you to see her.”
In order to watch the commotion, the others followed Qianyu to the mourning hall.
When Qianyu saw her mother’s face, a sad expression slowly appeared on her cold face. In the end, tears rolled down her face.
Tears fell onto her mother’s gloves. The white silk gloves were stained an unnatural red.
Qianyu looked surprised. She reached out to take off her mother’s gloves.
Father Lu grabbed her hand nervously, his eyes pleading. “Qianyu, I’m the only one left in our family.”
Qianyu looked at her father and some obscure images suddenly flashed in her mind. She had sealed those memories for her entire life and was unwilling to echo them at any time.
She suddenly pushed his hand away irritably, then nimbly took off her mother’s gloves.
A lacerated knife wound appeared on her mother’s hand.
Her father explained, “Sigh, before she hanged herself, she hurt herself. I hated her for pushing my daughter into the fire, so I didn’t stop her.”
At this moment, Qiao An felt that this man was extremely cold. She found it a little scary.
However, Qianyu suddenly said, “Aren’t you the one who pushed me and Sister into the fire?”
There was too much information in those words.
Mr. Lu said angrily, “Qianyu, I admit that I’m a failed father. I didn’t protect you well.”
Qianyu didn’t seem to think too much about it. After putting on the gloves for her mother, she stopped checking.
Huo Xiaoran pushed Huo Zhou out. Huo Zhou looked back at Xiaoran in confusion. He did not understand why he did not come out himself and instead pushed him out as a shield.
Huo Zhou said, “Qianyu, your mother has injuries on her hands. Perhaps she has injuries elsewhere in her body. Although she’s dead and can’t feel the cold pain, I think we should check her wounds. This way, she’ll be a complete person in her next life.”
Qianyu turned back.
However, Mr. Lu stopped her sternly. “Nonsense. Taking off your mother’s clothes in front of so many people is a great disrespect to your mother.”
Huo Zhou immediately said to the others, “Please leave.”
All his relatives and friends retreated in an orderly manner.
Just as Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran were about to leave, Mr. Lu suddenly called out to them, “Huo Zhou, Xiaoran, stay and help.”
The two men looked at each other. Huo Zhou said, “That’s not good, right?”
Huo Xiaoran knew that Mr. Lu could not hide it anymore, so he got them to stay behind. He might want to lie to the world.
Sure enough, after Qianyu untied her mother’s scarf, she was shocked.
She reached out shakily to gesture at the finger marks. Clearly the way someone had grabbed Aunt Lus throat and strangled her.
Qianyu looked at Mr. Lu very calmly. “You did it, right?”
Mr. Lu said nothing.
Qianyu said, “A life for a life.”
Only then did Mr. Lu’s calm face change a little. He begged Qianyu, “Qianyu, I didn’t mean to. I was just too angry. I hate her for not taking good care of you and letting you suffer so much. When I think of yoy sufering, I can’t wait for her to replace you.”
Qianyu sneered. “Dad is really good to me.”
Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou sighed. They thought that if the same thing happened to them, they would not be able to extricate themselves from hate. Therefore, they also felt a trace of pity for Mr. Lu’s brutal actions.
However, Qianyu seemed to be unable to forgive her father. “All these years, you’ve pretended to be a gentle and open husband and a good father in front of outsiders. Are you tired of pretending?”
Mr. Lu smiled awkwardly. “Qianyu, Dad knows that you hate us, so you tried all means to slander us. It’s just like how you falsely accused your mother of selling you. Dad doesn’t blame you. Dad only hopes that you can change yourself for the better while in prison. Dad will leave you a car and a house so that you can rest in peace for the rest of your life.”
Qianyu did not continue. Because she had a history of lying, no one might believe what she said.
So she chose to remain silent.
Qianyu left silently.
She found Qiao An and said to her, “Qiao An, do you believe me?”
Qiao An didn’t understand why she said that. She was puzzled. “Qianyu, what’s wrong?”
“My father abused my mother. I’ve known it since I was young. The cause of my mother’s death isn’t as simple as you see.”
Qiao An was stunned.
Qianyu said, “I falsely accused my mother, but I didn’t falsely accuse my father this time. Call the police for me.”
With that, Qianyu got into the police car heading to the prison.
But Qiao An stayed where she was.
“An’an, the condolences have been completed. We should go home.” Huo Xiaoran walked over and held her hand.
Qiao An left with Huo Xiaoran with a heavy heart.
On the way, Huo Zhou walked with them. Huo Zhou was still brooding over Huo Xiaoran using him. “Xiaoran, why didn’t you stand out and expose Uncle Lu’s scheme just now? Why did you have to let me do it?”
