Detective Ghost Empress

277 Impossible!

” Why is the queen here at the crime investigating department? Don’t tell me is she giving up?” Yu Lingyun could not understand the reason for the Queen’s visit to the crime investigation department no matter how much he tried to think about it over and over again. In the end, when he realized that he could not understand the reason, he finally turned to look at Zhai Heng who was standing beside him for an answer, the Queen was bringing the two of them here, did it not mean that she was raising the white flag?

Zhai Heng did not understand the reason either, but he knew that Liu Hui Ying was not someone who would raise the white flag without burning down her opponent’s base. He turned to look at Yu Lingyun who was already staring at him and after some thought said calmly, “You should wait and see what the Queen is trying to do first, I don’t think she will accept defeat so easily.”

Yu Lingyun thought about it and nodded, even he has to admit that what Zhai Heng said made sense there was no way the Queen will be the first one to raise the white flag, she was the type of woman who will burn someone’s white flag if they were to raise one before she was done throwing her tantrum.

But if she was not here to admit defeat then why was she here? Yu Lingyun was very confused but instead of staying behind and thinking about it, he decided that it was better to follow the Queen and see what she was doing there which was exactly why he and Zhai Heng followed her inside the crime investigation department.

Seeing the three of them coming inside Ji Mo was in charge of the crime investigation department was pleasantly surprised, he stood up from his chair and looked at Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun with a polite smile. ” General Yu, Vice commander Zhai, what are you doing here? If you needed the crime investigation department to do something for you then you should have called for me, why did you come here and troubled yourself?”

As he spoke he completely ignored Liu Hui Ying who was shoved to the side by him, if not for Zhai Heng who reached out and grabbed her by the back of her long robe that she was wearing she might have stumbled to the floor.

Liu Hui Ying who was pulled by Zhai Heng with the help of her long robe glared at the man who was acting all high and mighty and even ignoring her, just you wait! She roared in her head as she glared at the man with narrowed pair of eyes, she was going to make this man cry in just a few minutes!

” We are here because brother…” Zhai Heng paused and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying, he has completely forgotten the name that the Emperor has given the Queen alternative appearance but as he looked at the Queen, she looked a bit fresh and younger than the last time, so he turned around and said to Ji Mo, ” Brother Chi who was investigating the case regarding the consort Liu’s death wanted to come here and nothing more. It was a sudden decision and we couldn’t send someone earlier to tell you about arrival in advance.”

Ji Mo listened to what Zhai Heng said and immediately started to feel proud, he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and arrogantly raised his brows and said, ” So you are finally admitting that you cannot solve this case?”

.....

Ji Mo was the son of right prime minister Ji Yang and was thus very arrogant when the Emperor took the case of Consort Liu from his hands and handed it to a complete novice, he was very much angered. He wanted to see how this young man who did not even have any facial hair on his face would be able to solve this difficult case, he did not think that this Young master Chi would be able to find out the link that connected the case.

Thus, he was besotted enough to think that Liu Hui Ying who was dressed as a man was here to hand the case back to him. See? He knew he was the only one capable of solving the case! Even if it was simply framing the Queen, he was the correct person to finish this job!

” I am not here to hand over the case,”. Ji Mo who was still flying in the seventh heaven was stunned when he heard Liu Hui Ying refuse, he turned to look at the latter and asked unkindly, ” If you are not here to hand over the case then what are you doing here?”

Liu Hui Ying turned to glance at him like she was looking at an idiot and calmly said, ” I m here because the culprit behind the killings is here, isn’t it obvious?” As she said that she rubbed the beads that she was wearing on her wrist, and a blue wisp floated out of the beads and then flew out of the window.

” Impossible!” Ji Mo looked at the man in front of him in surprise, it was impossible how was it possible for anyone like him to even come to this conclusion and that too this soon? He looked at Liu Hui Ying who smiled and said, ” I haven’t even said anything why are you in such a hurry to refuse? Don’t tell me that you are trying to help the culprit run away?”

Ji Mo’s eye pupils shivered as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was acting like she was the boss and clenched his fingers, just now he was too agitated and ended up showing his real emotions on his face. He hurriedly calmed his breathing down and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying with a heavy heart and an unfriendly smile, ” I don’t know what are you talking about… this is the criminal investigation department are you saying that we are hiding a criminal?”

Liu Hui Ying’s smile turned a bit wider and she said, ” We will find out after the interrogation right?”
