253 A decoy to hide the real culprit

” So was this woman close to Liu Fei Fei?” Liu Hui Ying asked while she was examining consort Su’s body. The way the woman died was too similar to that of Liu Fei Fei, though she was not tortured for an entire night, she was indeed killed by being pushed into the pond from the back of her neck and what was even more interesting was that the culprit did not kill her at once.

They played with her for a very long time, even though they covered consort Su’s neck with a cloth to stop their fingerprints from being imprinted on her skin, Liu Hui Ying could see faint impressions of fingers on the skin at the back of consort Su’s neck.

It was quite clear that the murderer did not kill consort Su in one swift kill, instead, the murderer pushed her in and out several times before she died on her own.

” She could be more or less considered to be the only friend of Consort Liu,” replied Zhai Heng who was watching Liu Hui Ying examine the body with strange tools that he has never seen before in his life. ” But this is something that you should know right your majesty? After all consort Liu and her…they created a lot of trouble for you when you were appointed as the Empress.”

Liu Hui Ying’s actions paused when she heard Zhai Heng’s answer, uh oh …looks like she made a mistake. Because she was used to speaking her mind in front of Zhai Tianyu, she completely forgot that it was only the Emperor who knew that she was not the real Liu Hui Ying and the rest still took her as the real Liu Hui Ying!

” That…” she opened her mouth to say something but before she could reply Jia Li who was looking for the evidence planted by the culprit came rushing out, in her hand was a small piece of paper which she was waving left and right in her hand. ” Liu Hui Ying! I got it! This is the evidence that was planted by the culprit!”

” You got one too?” Li Gang who was holding a book blinked his eyes and then looked at Jia Li who was waving the paper in her hand. ” I got one too, did the culprit plant two pieces of evidence knowing that the last time one piece of evidence did not work?”

” Not one but four,” Grandma Lan Fen was carrying a wet cloth that seemed to be embroidered with golden threads on the red cloth, the letter ‘Liu’ was embroidered really vibrantly.

Liu Hui Ying who saw the number of pieces that were planted against her gritted her teeth in anger. Sure enough, the culprit knew that the last time his plan did not work which was why he decided to hide more evidence this time, if not for her who was looking in this case then she would have died without even knowing why!

.....

She took the piece of cloth from grandma Lan Fen and read the name that was written on it and sure enough the words Liu Hui Ying glared right back at her, it was unfortunate for the culprit that he could only look for golden threads and not fluorescent threads with neon lights or else he might have attached them to the cloth as well.

” That damned murderer!” Liu Hui Ying gritted her teeth as her shadow morphed into that of a devil, even though no one saw it happen but everyone including Zhai Heng could see that her entire existence was on fire with devil horns on top of her head as she looked down at the piece of cloth that was in her hands. ” I am going to skin him alive!”

Her roar echoed in the courtyard causing many ghosts who were lurking outside to duck their heads and go back to their original haunting space, at first they all were attracted by the yin energy that was covering the courtyard of consort Su but then they saw Liu Hui Ying who was standing in the middle of the courtyard looking like a devil, they all turned on their heels and rushed out of the courtyard.

It was better for them to stay where they were after all this woman was not one to be dealt with!

” I will go and look in the backyard if there is something that we need to investigate,” Zhai Heng did not have much experience with women but he instinctively knew that he did not want to play with this Liu Hui Ying at all which was why he turned on his heels and left just like the ghost leaving Liu Hui Ying to burn with rage as she tore the piece of cloth that was in her hands into two halves.

Liu Hui Ying, who was left behind threw the cloth on the ground and then stomped on it a few times before she turned to look at Grandma Lan Fen who was the one who found this piece of fabric and asked, ” Where did you find it?”

” Over there,” Grandma Lan Fen pointed at the small gap between two big boulders that were sitting at the edge of the small man-made pond. Liu Hui Ying walked over to where grandma Lan Fen picked up the piece of fabric.

Suddenly as she crouched down, she realised that the temperature around the pond has plummeted ..Liu Hui Ying immediately reacted trying to summon her weapon but she was a step too late because the second she raised her hands to summon her weapon the thing inside the pond jumped and wrapped its hands around her neck pulling her in the pond with her.

Liu Hui Ying’s eyes widened as Jia Li and the others screamed they rushed to fight against the thing but before they could —— the being opened its mouth and started sucking their yang energy causing their strengths to weaken. Before they could even fight against it, they were summoned back by Liu Hui Ying who knew that they wouldn’t be able to stand a chance against this thing, with her hands ready to draw her weapon she was prepared to kill the thing but then ——-

Something hit her strongly at the back of her head as if the thing that was in the pond was only a decoy to distract her. Blood immediately pooled out from the back of her head as her eyes drifted close while being dragged by the thing that was pulling her inside the pond.
