Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 438: Give me justice
Liu Hui Ying's actions caught everyone by surprise and when they saw Second Master Liu rush after her, they were even more stunned. Young Master, Liu Yuyang also chased after her given that she was his adopted sister and the one who was running behind her was his adoptive father, no one doubted why he was running after Liu Hui Ying.
But Zhai Tianyu was well aware of what was going on in the head of Liu Yu Yang which was why he immediately picked up his robe and chased after Liu Hui Ying as well, which startled everyone. He was, after all, the Emperor of the imperial city, how can he chase after a woman like that?
His actions dissatisfied The grand dowager Empress but she did not dare to say anything, she knew that her grandson was unhappy with her interference between him and Ji Yu which was why she could not speak anything for the time being to him.
Instead, she turned to look at Ji Yang who swallowed under her gaze and then rushed after Zhai Tianyu as he shouted, " Your majesty, you cannot run like that! You are the Emperor of this imperial city, please keep your footing stable and not rushed!"
' And let that love rival of mine win ?' Zhai Tianyu snorted in his head as he silently questioned no one in particular.
He knew that Liu Yu Yang was now really interested in Liu Hui Ying and given that Liu Yu Yang was much closer to her with the gifts and money that he could give her every time he went to see her, Zhai Tianyu could not take him lightly which was why he pretended as if he did not hear what Ji Yang had said and continued to hurry behind Liu Hui Ying.
He was after all an idiot in the eyes of the people of the imperial court so what if he made the mistake of chasing after a woman with whom he was hooked?
With his feet which were chasing after Liu Hui Ying, the small group arrived really closer to the woman who was singing but then the woman turned on her heels and started to run away from them, Zhai Tianyu wanted to chase after that woman but then he felt someone squelch under his foot and he stumbled on the ground, stunned he looked down and was stunned to see that in front of him was hand which seemed to be torn from a woman's body lying!
" General Yu!" Seeing that something like this had happened, he immediately turned around and called Yu Lingyun who appeared in a jiffy next to him and yelped when he saw that there was a human hand lying in front of Zhai Tianyu.
" What in the world——" Yu Lingyun opened his mouth to speak but then his words were cut off by Ji Yang who screamed out of nowhere, they all turned to look at the old man who was now lying on the ground and in front of him was a large pale thing, it was only when they walked forward and then looked at the pale thing properly did they realise that the thing was actually a human leg!
And from the curves of that leg, it seemed like it belonged to a woman.
A bad premonition rose in the heart of Zhai Tianyu and Yu Lingyun as they turned to look at each other and then chased after Liu Hui Ying who was still following that old ghost which was running ahead of them.
If there was a hand and limb surely there was a torso and head!
With that thought in their heads, they ran after Liu Hui Ying who was chasing after the human ghost with her limbs which were shorter than the person who was running ahead of her, seeing that the ghost was going to get away from her, she turned to look at her ghosts who nodded at her and then started to fly ahead of Liu Hui Ying who could not catch up to the old ghost who was running like its life depended on it which it really did.
While the three ghosts ran after the ghost, Liu Hui Ying turned to look at the fat ball of human flesh which was running after her with his face turning red and could not help but feel a bit warm in the heart. She could sense that this father of hers was scared of seeing the ghost this close but because she was chasing after it, he came running without even thinking anything through.
" You did not have to chase it go back…father," she told Second official Liu who shook his head and stubbornly refused while he huffed and puffed, " I cannot leave my daughter alone with that thing, da…father will take care of it for you, stay behind me."
As he spoke, he accelerated his pace and then chased after that thing but he only by passed Liu Hui Ying for a few minutes before he vanished in thin air, it surprised both Liu Yu Yang and Liu Hui Ying but then they heard the scream of Second Official Liu and rushed to see what happened.
He was lying in a pit which was dug ahead of time but the thing which caused Second Official Liu to lift his bottom to face the sky was not his fall in fact it was the torso of the woman and next to it was the head which was lying on the ground.
Liu Yu Yang's expression changed as he jumped inside the pit and then walked towards the head of the woman, before taking out his sheathed sword and then turned the head of the woman a second later the face of concubine Qin came to view just as Zhai Tianyu and Yu Lingyun along with Zhai Heng and Prime minister Ji arrived at the pit which was dug in the middle of the forest.
….
"Oh, my daughter! Oh, my poor daughter!
Who dared to do this to you!" Official Qin screamed and cried as he hugged the head of his daughter, his eyes were red and swollen from crying and he looked like he had aged by ten years, his face was all blotchy as he looked at his daughter's decapitated body while looking at his wife's corpse, in just a single night he had lost his wife and daughter which made him aggrieved and wronged, he wanted to say something take his anger out on someone but he had no idea upon whom he was supposed to do this, was he supposed to get angry at the queen but she was the one who found his daughter's body along with the Emperor who found the arm of his daughter first.
Behind him, Qin Mu Yan's eyes were red as he looked at his sister's and mother's corpses both of them died in the same manner which caused him great pain. He was here in the hunting grounds but because he was foolish enough to keep an eye on the queen who was in her tent all night long, he provided enough opportunity to the murderer who was keeping his sister tied up somewhere.
That man killed his sister right under his nose and he could not do anything!
If he had stayed up keeping guard on the rest of the people in the hunting ground then maybe his sister might have made it out of this situation alive.
But no matter how many regrets he had now, Qin Mu Yan could no longer do anything about them, except shed tears.
Liu Hui Ying looked at the figure which was lying on the ground with a sombre look on her face, this Concubine Qin had nothing to do with her but this case was taken into hands by her.
Now that this woman was dead and her body was long cold, it was as if someone had slapped her on the face which made her ashamed and humiliated as she realised that her skills were not as good as she thought they were, she was too confident and it gave enough leeway to the culprit behind this case!
Even Zhai Tianyu was looking at the body of his concubine with a helpless look on his face, he did not love these women but that did not mean that he wanted to see them die one after another, first, it was Liu Fei Fei and then another concubine surnamed Su died and now Concubine Qin was dead.
Zhai Tianyu was having a headache, was he born with the luck of living a life like that of a widower? Why were all his wives getting killed one by one?
" Your majesty! You have to give me justice! I have to find out who was the one who killed my daughter!" Official Qin cried as he looked at Zhai Tianyu, he was yet to place concubine Qin's head on the stretcher which dyed his clothes red with the blood which was seeping out of concubine Qin's decapitated head.
