I didn’t pay much attention to Nancy’s ramblings then, though I should have been very afraid of what she said happening. But…although it was complete nonsense in the current circumstances, I trusted the Inspector. Although he appeared hostile, I didn’t believe he would frame us. Amidst all the chaos, despite hearing the voice everyday I had nearly forgotten about the old woman and her warning. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZMeIj795

​Almost a week after Joseph’s arrest,  we had a surprise visitor – Aunt Daisy. She came early in the morning, dressed carelessly, her hair all untidy. Although her appearance alarmed me, I offered her tea and breakfast. She turned down my offer rather rudely and asked to see my father.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJsDXjj1JB

“Please hurry…Before…It’ll be too late…I…The Inspector is mistaken…” She muttered incoherently in between loud sobs and frantic glances all around.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z2d7cncWk

My Dad was certainly at home but I didn’t think he was in the mood for visitors. He had received a phone call in the middle of the night and since then, shut himself in his study. But there was no way Aunt Daisy was taking a no for an answer so I took her to the locked room. I knocked several times before he asked irritably what was wrong.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypZjx6Rum4

He opened the door. I was surprised to see how tired he was. My Dad, who was always energetic even after working all night, had the exhausted face of someone sleep-deprived for a week. He was holding a letter which he quickly slipped into his pocket.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRBIiO7wVf

“You must help me…Nobody else will listen…” Aunt Daisy pleaded.  “He…”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJn22rxIm

“What is wrong?”  Dad asked.  He invited her in quite kindly and told her to take her seat. I could hear the voice screaming in pain but…It was not saying anything specific. What had happened to Aunt Daisy? I remembered her outburst at the funeral…It couldn’t be just the loss of her daughters…728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBFpLOolB1

​Well…I would have gone in nonetheless. The curiosity was just too much to stay back while she talked to Dad. After we took a seat, Dad, putting on his most professional voice, asked Aunt Daisy what she wanted him to do.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BRtipF1r

“I want you to…” She sobbed a few times as a load of tears streamed down her cheeks.  I wished she would stop crying. I was finding it hard to hold my own tears. The mere thought of Pinky’s convulsed face and glassy eyes…And if I started to burst into tears, I’m sure it wouldn’t help her either.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv9pEktGkY

“Yes…” Aunt Daisy cried. “Now…Don’t look at me as though I’ve mad with grief! I’m speaking the truth. He killed my girls.” She paused, taking a deep breath. “He killed my sister’s daughter. And…He even…He…He even killed my own little girl. He killed his own blood. Elias Johnson is a murderer. I want him to hang…”728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73ZWZ66sRo
