Detective Ghost Empress

Especially, Ji Mo who was embarrassed by this young man who was standing on the stage, he thought that he will be able to see this man be embarrassed by his father and never expected that the man called Lord Chen would say that he knew who the murderer was!

" You know who the murderer is?!" With his eyes widening, Ji Mo suddenly asked in a loud voice as he looked at Liu Hui Ying. He glanced at his father because no one knew who was the one behind this matter, they were afraid that they might end up being betrayed by their fraction because the Liu family looked way too calm!

On the other side, The grand dowager Empress who was shocked upon seeing the young man who had solved the case of her daughter also snapped out of her daze and asked with sweat trickling down her forehead, " I…Is that true, Lord Chu?"

" Yes, I will not dare to say such a thing if I did not know who the murderer was," replied Liu Hui Ying as she turned to look at the crowd and then started speaking, " I have just discovered a very crucial thing about the murderer along with the identity of who it was who attacked the queen, the one who killed Concubine Qin and Madam Qin followed by coming back and scaring everyone else in this hunting ground."

" What are you saying, Lord Chu?" Ji Mo said with a shrugging gesture as he looked at Liu Hui Ying and then said with a smile, " Everyone saw the ghost who was attacking the members of the Qin family right? We have all heard about the legend. Are you saying that the ghost was someone else?"

" Yes, that is right … I think that it has to do with the legend of the old woman who passed away and we should just keep away from this place .. the things that we don\'t know about we should not touch it," Ji Yang suggested as he looked at Liu Hui Ying with an assessing gaze.

" Heh, do you really think that it\'s the doing of an old legend?" Though Liu Hui Ying knew that there were ghosts in the world, she also knew that this ghost who was hiding in the forest was a human and one who held a long grudge.

" You all might think that it was a ghost who was attacking the women of the Qin family but if so why was it that concubine Qin who was attacked and captured never made a sound? If she saw the ghost then she could have screamed for help, right? The guards were on patrol for so long they must have heard her voice."

" The same thing could be said for Madam Qin, why did she follow the ghost in the middle of the forest instead of hiding in her tent? Was she going after the ghost to perform an exorcism?"

" Now that, he puts it like that …. It does make sense," Ji Yu remarked as she looked at her father who glared at her which caused her to lower her head as if she knew that she was in the wrong.

" The answer is very simple …the murderer who killed Madam Qin, as well as her daughter, was someone whom Madam Qin knew and trusted! That is one of the people standing in the hunting ground is a culprit behind the killing!" Liu Hui Ying announced the shocking news in front of everyone causing their eyes to pop out of their sockets as most of the people in the hunting grounds exclaimed,

" WHAT?!"

" The fact that Concubine Qin was missing for more than three hours and no one saw her come back yet even after looking for her in the entire forest we found nothing is it not weird enough but what if she never left? What if she saw someone and returned to the hunting grounds just as the soldiers went to change their shifts? Then doesn\'t it mean that she was on the hunting grounds?

Because the most dangerous place has always been the safest place this is something that a murderer understands very well."

" The culprit behind the attack must have trapped Concubine Qin in their tent and when they found out that she was missing, they came out and made a noise similar to that of everyone which made them free of suspicion."

"That\'s enough playing around! Why don\'t you just say who it is? " Qin Mu Yan who was already itching to get his hands on the person who killed his sister and mother was red-eyed as he looked at the man who was taking his sweet time.

" Junior Officer Qin, calm down. I think that Lord Chen is simply playing detective, when the ghost of the woman appeared in front of us, did we not all see her? Surely she was the one who was behind the killing, how can it be one of us? Everyone was in their tents, we saw it!" Ji Mo suddenly spoke up as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who smirked and then added in a soft voice,

" Heh, are you sure about that ?" Liu Hui Ying questioned which caused Ji Mo to frown as he asked, " What do you mean by that?"

" I mean it quite literally, Little Lord Ji… it\'s true that we did see the figures of people moving in and out of the tent but the thing is that it was too dark to see who was who! This means that as long as someone else draped the clothes of the culprit and made an appearance it would be like they were stepping out of their tents!"
