Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 450: The identity of the Murderer

Lin Hui Ying's words caused another stir in the hunting grounds, that was right. Indeed when they left their tents it was too dark to see who was who, only those who were closest to each other could see the face of the person next to them but those who were far from them, they had no inkling of those.

What if the person who was dressed as a ghost was indeed one of them and then he or she hid in the dark after running around the forest before coming back to the hunting grounds from the back? There was no barricade in the forest and the guards were too busy catching the ghost to worry about other things.

" But ..." Ji Yang wanted to say something to interrupt Lin Hui Ying but the latter did not give him the chance instead she continued speaking as she looked at Li Gang who nodded and floated towards the man she was suspicious of, she watched as Li Gang walked over to the culprit and then possessed his body only for a few seconds before he stepped out and nodded his head.

' Looks like I was correct,' Lin Hui Ying's eyes flickered as she looked at the crowd and then parted her lips as she said, " The ghost who was running towards the forest must have turned around and arrived back into the hunting grounds where they headed to their tent and came outside to join in the fun."

" But..." Lin Hui Ying suddenly changed her tone as it became sharper and much more intense than before as she glanced at the man who was looking at her with a poker face and then remarked, " All of this could have stopped if Concubine Qin was allowed to take her maids if the person behind this scene did not stop the maids from following concubine Qin then we would have known where and when concubine Qin left but he did not and that person was none other than——"

" Official Qin!"

Her statement caused the entire hunting ground to turn silent as they all turned and looked at Official Qin's face, which had suddenly gone really pale, he looked at Lin Hui Ying and then said in an affronted voice, " What nonsense!? She was my daughter and Madam Qin was my wife, why will I kill them? How can I kill them? What was more I was with the soldiers when they were looking for my daughter!"

" There...There is no way I am the murderer!"

Lin Hui Ying smirked as she tilted her head and then stated, " The reason is very simple, you attacked the queen because she found the link which could have led us to you. She found the grave of the woman who was buried here!"

When Lin Hui Ying mentioned the grave of the woman, Official Qin's expression changed as he looked at her in shock and surprise.

The change was so big that Qin Mu Yan also detected it and then turned to look at his father whose expression had gone ashen.

" F...Father?" Qin Mu Yan called his father but the latter did not reply instead he stared at the ground with a dubious look on his face. Seeing this even Qin Mu Yan's expression could not help but change, " Don't..for the love of the heavens... please say that it is a lie."

Qin Mu Yan had lost his mother and sister whom he loved and cared for in just one night, he could not lose his father as well which was why he begged his father to say that it was all a lie and Lin Hui Ying was only fabricating everything on her own but even though he asked his father to say that everything was nothing but a stupid lie he did not speak which caused his heart to drop in a pit.
