Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 451: The identity of the murderer—-2

---------------------

" Father?" Qin Mu Yan looked at his father who was evasively dodging his gaze and suddenly his expression could not help but turn grim. Was this true? Was everything that the young man spoke the truth?

" There is no point in discussing everything with him, junior official Qin," Lin Hui Ying sighed this matter, she was sure that the one who was the most innocent were concubine Qin and Qin Mu Yan but the matter was already past the point where she could control it, what Official Qin did was indeed sinful and he had to pay for it.

" General Yu told me that when you found the spot where your mother was killed, you did not find any weapon nor did you find any trail which would lead you to the culprit. What's more the spot where your mother was killed was so close to where you all were looking why was it that she did not call for help until she was attacked?

Was it not because she was with someone she did not believe would kill her?"

" As for the reason why your father never got caught was because the weapon that he used was stuffed in his oversize belly which he is faking.

Once he was done killing your mother, he threw the weapon back in his stuffed clothes and then rushed back to where he was with the soldiers, because he was hiding the dagger in his clothes, he did not leave a trail behind and the blood was soaked in the stuffing."

" Who is she?"

At first, even Ji Yang was stunned when he heard that name which he had not listened to for so long but when he heard that name his face could not help but go pale as he spoke with trembling lips" You... Official Qin, even after all this time... I thought you have forgotten her!"

" How can I forget her!" Official Qin's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Ji Yang before turning to look at Zhai Tianyu who was standing on the stage and then said, " Your majesty do you know what this uncle of yours...did?"

" Shut Up!" When Ji Yang saw that Official Qin was opening his mouth to sweep the dust off the incidents of the past he wanted to stop him but Official Qin was unmoved, he turned to look at Ji Yang and then said, " I was a small scholar when I was young, I came to this town together with my wife, Song Xingyan. She was my life, just like her name she was beautiful and kind...Like the ray of sunlight."

" As I passed the scholar examination, I was allowed to become a seventh-level official and was transferred to this rotten imperial city from my village... it was during this time when your father... the late emperor saw my wife and fell for her!"

A malevolent expression came over Official Qin's face when he thought of the past, " I thought it was strange after I participated in the Dragon boat festival with my wife...the emperor continued to look for me and he even invited me to this darned hunt."

" I was a fool, I thought that my honest work had impressed that evil man and like an idiot I agreed to bring my wife to this hunt..." he raised his head and glared at Ji Yang who had gone really pale and continued with hatred and tears in his eyes, " I did not know that this was all a plan which your uncle thought of, all because he wanted to curry favour with the emperor!

He invited me here along with my wife ...and then ...and then one night he took me to hunt while offering my wife to your father!"
