Chapter 395: You Might Be Afraid, But She Wouldn’t Be
“He’s not a big shot.”
Lu Zhou replied calmly.
If Lu Zhou said he wasn’t a big shot, then he definitely wasn’t.
He Lai also understood that Shangguan Dian had nothing to do with the Shangguan family.
“Young Master Tianxi, try a piece of meat with preserved vegetables too.”
He Lai also picked up a piece of meat with preserved vegetables for Netherworld.
The meat was already stewed until it was soft. It melted in his mouth almost immediately.
Lu Sheng gave the two children one piece each and another for herself.
Seeing that there were only three slices left in the bowl, Shangguan Dian’s eyes widened.
This was the first food that Netherworld had eaten in the human world and he was already obsessed with it.
He finally understood why Shangguan Dian was so obsessed with human food.
Compared to eating raw meat from the Demon Realm, cooked food from the human world was indeed more delicious.
Netherworld extended his chopsticks and wanted to pick up another piece of meat. However, when he saw Shangguan Dian’s glare, he was so scared that he hurriedly moved his chopsticks away and picked up the chicken closest to him.
After dinner, Lu Sheng sent Lu Jiang and Lu Xin back to the inner courtyard. She heard He Lai say to Lu Zhou and the rest, “That alley is beside our school. I heard from the people nearby that it’s scary.”
“What’s scary?”
Lu Sheng sat beside Lu Zhou and looked at He Lai suspiciously.
He Lai waved his hand. “Sigh, as a girl, it’s better if you don’t listen. I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep in the middle of the night.”
Lu Ran replied calmly, “You might be afraid, but she’s not.”
Lu Ran was starting to understand his sister’s guts.
“Xiao Sheng is so bold?”
He Lai was surprised. When he first heard about it, he was so scared that he did not dare to sleep alone in the middle of the night. He even ran to He Qin’s place to sleep.
“So, what happened?”
Lu Sheng was very curious.
He Qin explained, “They’re referring to the recently murdered mother-daughter pair in town.”
Lu Sheng nodded calmly and asked casually, “Have you found the murderer?”
Lu Ran said in a low voice, “We suspect that the mother’s ex-husband’s current wife killed them. However, there is evidence that the woman was in the village when the mother-daughter pair died.”
He had also heard Yu Yang and Mu Yan mention these unintentionally.
“The murderer is really vicious. He dug out the hearts of the mother-daughter pair and gouged out their eyes. He even hung their bodies outside the gate. He’s simply too cruel!”
He Lai could not help but shiver.
Although he was not present at the scene at that time, when he heard the mention of it from the people who witnessed it with their own eyes, he could not help but feel apprehensive.
He Lai had thought that everyone present would be shocked when he described the scene.
However, they did not even frown…
Lu Zhou, Shangguan Dian, and Netherworld’s expressions did not change.
Why was Lu Sheng so calm? No, she frowned. At least she was better than the rest…
Lu Sheng pondered and said, “Such a cruel method. If the murderer is not a pervert, then it must have been intentional.”
“Lu Sheng, you’re saying that the murderer has a feud with this mother-daughter pair?”
He Qin asked casually.
Lu Sheng picked up an apple from the table and wiped it on her shoulders. She nodded and said, “Both of your guesses are half correct. However, I’m more inclined to the latter.”
If he was just a psychotic murderer, why did he only kill that mother-daughter pair?
He must have hated this mother-daughter pair to death to be so vicious.
He Qin said softly, “I heard that the daughter was only five years old. She’s quite pitiful.”
“Only five years old?”
Lu Sheng was surprised. A five-year-old girl shouldn’t be hated to such an extent, right?
Or could it be that the murderer transferred his hatred towards that mother to that girl as well?
