Detective Ghost Empress

298 Years that she wasted

The ghost woman who saw how terrible Liu Hui Ying’s face was immediately frightened, she did not know what she said that made Liu Hui Ying make that face but she still lowered her head and knocked her forehead on the ground and said, ” I am sorry, I did not know… did I make a mistake? please forgive me!”

Liu Hui Ying was lost in her memories but as soon as she heard the loud thunk, she snapped out of her daze and looked at the ghost woman who was looking at her with a pitiful expression on her face, she sighed and then waved her hand. ” There is no need for you to apologize, here take this flower and go.”

Hearing that she could take the flower, the ghost woman was naturally very happy but when she looked at the murderous expression on Liu Hui Ying’s face with that threatening air that was blowing past her, the ghost woman could not help but shudder in fear. She was worried that if she was to go close to Liu Hui Ying when she was like this, she will be sucked into the gloomy whirl that was circulating around her.

” I …I really can take this flower?” She asked as she looked at Liu Hui Ying who turned her head with a red glint in her eyes and then replied in a thick voice, ” Or else do you want me to exorcise you?”

“I will take it! Thank you very much!” The ghost woman immediately snatched the flower from the table and then rushed out of the room as fast as she could, she was worried that Liu Hui Ying might change her mind and destroy her soul instead of sending her to the afterlife!

Liu Hui Ying watched the ghost woman leave before she turned her head and looked down at her hands. She blinked her eyes and then carefully thought about what the ghost woman told her and pondered over everything that happened in the past.

After her sister was killed, Liu Hui Ying tried her best to catch the murderer but it was as if the murderer was gone from the world without leaving a trace behind. The ghosts she summoned could not find the man, this was the reason why she joined the investigation department, she thought that she will be able to find the man if she had all the information in her hands.

But to her surprise that man’s information did not exist in any of the records in the criminal data record that was in the system. Liu Hui Ying then thought that the man might have been a first-time offender and thus she started to skim through every other data that she could get from the other investigation departments but nothing.

No matter how long and hard she searched the man’s information did not fall into her hands, in fact, in fact, she knew that it was not the first time the man killed ——the swift cut that he made on the neck of her sister and the clean cuts on the wrist of her sister was enough to show that the man who killed her was not a first time offender.

.....

Liu Hui Ying however continued looking for the man’s information because she did not want to believe that she will not be able to find the man who killed her sister. That the man did not exist in her world in the first place —— but now she could no longer deny the fact that what she did in the modern world was nothing but a waste of time.

All the hard work, all the extra cases that she took from the other investigation department because she wanted to take a look at their criminal database, all of it turned out to be nothing but a waste of time since the man was never in that world but he was hiding here in this world!

“Damn it!” Liu Hui Ying banged her fists on the table so loudly that the maids who were standing outside the room sucked in a breath collectively, even Qui Ai closed the door and stood on the side. She has stayed next to Liu Hui Ying long enough to know that the latter was really angry at this moment and wanted to be left alone.

Just now she could see the heartbroken expression on the face of the queen, it was as if she has lost everything that she held dear to her. Qui Ai closed her eyes and then leaned on the wall behind her as she thought silently,’ I hope you feel better soon, your majesty.’

—————

Liu Hui Ying however did not feel better in fact she felt even more enraged by the minute. With a bang, she threw herself down on the floor and then covered her eyes with her arm, fifteen years …that was how much time she wasted on looking for that man.

From becoming a celestial master to becoming a detective even though what she wanted to do after growing up was to become a doctor. She wasted fifteen years and gave up on her dreams and what she received in return was this ——

Her life was in the modern world, even the key to moving on for her three ghosts was in the modern world. If she stayed here in this world what will happen to her body in her world and what about the three ghosts, when she hired them she promised that she will help them move on!

She also needs to take care of grandma Lan Fen’s granddaughter! Even though she had left enough money in the account of that girl, the world they lived in was so expensive already who knows whether that much money will be enough for Grandma Lan Fen’s daughter?

What was she supposed to do? Stay here and look for her sister’s murderer or should she look for a way to go back and then help the three ghosts who have assisted her for so long move on?
