Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 448: Who is the murderer

Liu Hui Ying turned to glance at the man with a blank expression which was full of disdain, he could not even make an excuse for her. He was truly something else.

Though she was annoyed, Liu Hui Ying still turned her head to look at Ji Yang who was looking at her with a questioning look in his eyes and answered in a solemn voice, " I was always with the group, it's just that geniuses like me do not like to interact with others for no reason which was why I stayed in the dark and in silence.

The loud hoo-hah is not something that I like, right prime minister Ji."

Her voice was laced with unbridled confidence and arrogance which made others speechless.

What was with that tone? Was this man looking down on them?

The crowd of onlookers stared at Liu Hui Ying who was looking at them as if she was a level above them and were stunned in surprise. Throughout their lives, they were the ones who looked down on others, never had they been looked down on by anyone before!

" Lord Chen," Ji Yang too was stumped by the response of the young man who was standing on top of the stage with Zhai Tianyu and could not help but say, " I just wanted to ask why was it that you did not make your presence known when two murders took place, as someone who is rather skilled in this department don't you think that you should have been here when everyone was looking for the murder."

Liu Hui Ying did not panic when she saw Ji Yang questioning her, she knew that the man was still upset that she had pulled his family down a notch and was deliberately making things difficult for her, she raised a brow and then said in a confident voice, " I just thought that it was a small case and you will be able to solve with ease who would have thought that you will have so much trouble solving a case which was this easy?"

Once again her response was way too overconfident!

As he spoke he looked at Liu Hui Ying with a proud look in his eyes, though what Liu Jiu said was indeed something that shouldn't be said out loud but as he looked at Liu Hui Ying, he could not help but be proud of his daughter.

If not for the fact that he was afraid that his brother Shengjing would be heartbroken after finding out that his daughter was dead, he too wanted to admit that this girl, the one who majestically stood on the stage was his daughter.

While looking at Liu Hui Ying, his eyes fell on Zhai Tianyu who was looking at his daughter with adoration in his eyes and scoffed, " Sometimes I think that I gave away my daughter to your son way too cheaply, your majesty. He truly doesn't deserve my daughter."

Liu Jiu also turned her head and looked at her silly son who was still growing up and cleared her throat as she replied, " No returns. I stamped my seal on that girl."

" Humph, little Xi Ling was too naive that she agreed—— I would have refused," as he spoke he carefully caressed the arm which was covered in red finger marks. His eyes dimmed as he looked over at Liu Hui Ying and then continued speaking, " Your son is a fool, your majesty and if he doesn't learn how to be a capable monarch and a husband, I assure you that I have enough ways to deal with him."

...

While Zhai Tianyu was standing on the stage and looking at Liu Hui Ying acting all smug and cocky he could not help but find her adorable but then he felt someone glare at him and turned around only to see Liu Dong Ming glaring at him as if he owed him a country.

Zhai Tianyu: "...." What did I do? How did I offend this great Buddha?
