Detective Ghost Empress

297 The attacker from that night ——-Liu Hui Ying paused and then turned to look at the ghost woman who smiled triumphantly like a con man who has finally succeeded in fooling a rich businesswoman into investing in his business. The ghost woman nodded her head exaggeratedly and then said, ” You don’t know this your majesty but I share the pond next to the one where that evil thing was waiting for you and of course, I heard everything that happened before you came to consort Su’s courtyard. If you help me move on to the underworld, I will tell you everything that I know about that evil thing and the man who brought it with him.”

The ghost woman’s words were confident but Liu Hui Ying did not jump on her wagon at once, she shifted on her cushion lightly and then turned to look the ghost woman in the eye as she said, ” You really saw the person who brought that thing?”

“Of course I did,” the ghost woman replied honestly as she made a cross on the spot where her heart was when she was alive and then said, ” If I am lying then let me become an ant in the next life to be squashed under the feet of others.”

Liu Hui Ying placed the hand with which she was holding the chopsticks and then took a good look at the ghost woman. She was slightly chubby but her face showed that she must have been a kind woman when she was alive, the black cadaveric energy with a grey tint around her told that she was killed by someone and held a lot of grudges but before she could take revenge on her murderer, that person died and moved on, thus making it impossible for her to make a move.

” All right then,” Liu Hui Ying thought over it and realised that it was indeed not a bad proposal, she was not going to lose a piece of flesh if she helped this old woman move on to the underworld and she truly needed to know who was the son of a bitch who smashed her head open by that rock!

The old woman was of course willing to answer Liu Hui Ying’s question but she did not trust Liu Hui Ying who looked like a scammer to her, maybe it was her experience from the past fifty years but she could see that Liu Hui Ying was one of the most greedy people she has ever seen in her life and thus she immediately raised her hands and then said, ” First summon the flower, that you gave to that girl, your majesty….when talking about a business we should have all put everything on the table right?”

Liu Hui Ying noticed the doubtful glint in the eyes of the old woman, she was slightly annoyed that this old ghost was actually treating her like a scammer but then she thought about her usual behaviour and realised that the old woman was not entirely incorrect.

The ball of anger that was burning in her chest was soon doused with cold water as she sighed and then summoned the white flower that she has handed to Liu Fei Fei to help her move to the underworld and onto the next life quickly.

When the old woman saw the flower appear from thin air, her eyes lit up and she immediately pounced on the flower but was stopped by a very annoying hand that was placed on top of the flower.

.....

“What? Did you not say that when talking about an honest business we should put all our cards on the table? Why are you jumping on my cards without showing yours?” Liu Hui Ying raised a brow while looking at the excited-looking ghost woman.

Maybe the old ghost woman knew that she will not be able to touch even a petal of this magical flower that was going to take her to the next life, which was why she immediately opened her mouth and started speaking, ” Answering Your majesty, the woman who dragged you in the water was none other than the maid who was killed by Consort Su and Consort Liu, as for the man who was behind your attack, I did not see much since his face was covered with a mask and only his eyes were visible but I did see a scar running up his left eye …. It looked like someone dragged three fingers down his eyes wanting to scrape his eyeball out.”

Dong.

Liu Hui Ying dropped the chopsticks that she was holding in her hands as her expression morphed into one of disbelief and shock. A man with a scar of three fingers running down his eyes wasn’t this——

‘ Hey, stop there!’ Liu Hui Ying was locked out of the house by her sister when she was helping the man who came to their house asking for help saying that he was haunted by something really sinister. However, even after waiting for more than an hour, the ghost wall that her sister set around the house was not pulled down and Liu Hui Ying who did not know what was going on inside the house, couldn’t wait to tear the ghost wall down.

She was still a learner of celestial magic back then and was not strong as her sister but she still couldn’t sit back and watch her sister getting into trouble which was why she tried her best to bring the ghost wall down.

Liu Hui Ying was able to make a crack in the ghost wall after a long time and just as she was going to barge inside the house, someone came hurtling out of the door and smashed right into her causing her to fall on the ground. She was stunned by the sudden fall but she still tried to catch the man who ran into her—— of course as a teen girl she could not stop the man from running away but she did notice the wound on his left eye.

A bloody scar —–three bloody lines ran down all the way to his cheek.
