Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 429: An old legend ——2

" What are you screaming for?" Yu Lingyun's expression turned sullen when he saw that the soldiers were screaming as if their lives were on the line. " Now you are so scared that you cannot even recognise your general ?"

Yu Lingyun was speechless when he heard his soldiers discussing the old legend like a bunch of gossipy wives, what were they doing? Talking about something so stupid? What fifty years old legend? Wasn't it just a story to keep the people entertained?

When the soldiers heard the voice of Yu Lingyun they were really embarrassed, they all came here to look for a piece of evidence but instead, they ended up talking about something completely unimportant!

" Forgive us general, we ended up losing sight of the goal," the elderly soldier who spoke earlier lowered his head and apologised with a sheepish smile. He was so old but he was still being dragged around by the foolish talk of the youngsters.

"It's good that you know!" Yu Lingyun glared at the soldiers who were talking nonsense just now and then continued to scold them with a reprimanding voice, " Do you even know what kind of situation is this? The wife of an important official has been killed, we need to look for something that will lead us to her murderer instead of gossiping around like that! It will only bring embarrassment to us!"

Yu Lingyun was already having a headache, the disappearance of concubine Qin was already bad enough but now Old Madam Qin was killed as well, if this goes on, he was afraid that Zhai Tianyu would even have to take off his pants to compensate for the Qin family!

And at such a crucial moment, these soldiers were discussing that old legend! Such foolishness!

" Come with me! We will look around again!" Yu Lingyun ordered the soldiers who were standing next to him. This time he was going to lead them, himself! He will see with his own eyes whether he will not be able to find anything or not!

Though Yu Lingyun thought that he will be able to find something, he was bound to be disappointed because there was nothing in the forest that would lead him to the culprit, it was as if the body of Old Madam Qin just appeared out of thin air and dropped at that spot but that was impossible!

The scent of blood was fresh and one could see that the body was chopped just a few seconds ago because the blood did not start to clot.

So there was no way the body was just taken from somewhere and then dumped here! Even if the culprit could fake the voice of Old Madam Qin, he might not be able to fake the freshness of the blood!

" Damn!" Yu Lingyun cursed as he looked at the surrounding, he wanted to find something before going back and bringing the body of Old Madam Qin with him but it looks like he was bound to fail! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

...

After searching for so long when Yu Lingyun did not find anything, he could only return with Qin Mu Yan and the body of Old Madam Qin on a makeshift stretcher which was covered with the robe that Qin Mu Yan was wearing earlier.

As soon as their group appeared in the hunting grounds, they made a loud uproar to the point where Zhai Tianyu who was talking with Zhai Heng who found nothing in the forest and was discussing what to do next came rushing as well, in front of them was the chubby official Qin who came running forgoing his identity and reputation as an official as he came to a stop in front of the stretcher.

" I...Is this my daughter?" He asked as he looked at Yu Lingyun and Qin Mu Yan.

His voice was trembling and his forehead was covered with sweat, one could see that he was very much worried about the body which was under the robe!

When neither Qin Mu Yan nor Yu Lingyun spoke, Official Qin suddenly felt agitated as he said, " What are you staying silent for Mu Yan?! I am asking you whether the person lying under the robe is your sister or not! Answer me!"

" I.. it is not sister," Qin Mu Yan answered causing Official Qin to heave a sigh of relief but before he could even take a breath, he heard Qin Mu Yan say, " Its mother."

Official Qin's face immediately turned pale as he rushed to the stretcher and then pushed the robe off the face of his wife, when he saw that it was indeed his wife, a low painful moan escaped his lips as he knelt on the ground and started to sob.

" NO! I refuse to believe this! Ye Xin had been with me for so long, she cannot leave me behind like this! Who can do this to her? She was so kind and helpful to the poor! How can they even think of killing her like this and that too so brutally at that!"

His cries were full of agony and pain as everyone who was standing on the hunting ground started to feel sorry for him even Zhai Tianyu felt a bit helpless.

Only Liu Hui Ying who was standing at the end of the hunting ground looked at the corpse of Old Madam Lin and frowned.

"What's wrong ?" Seeing that she was frowning Li Gang couldn't help but ask.

" The corpse smell of hell's fire which means that the woman who died was nowhere kind." Liu Hui Ying explained as she took a whiff of the air which smelled of death and destruction. " Her soul was so ugly that the grim reapers had to take matters into their own hands, yet her husband says that she was kind…I just find it a bit amusing and annoying."

" Well there is nothing to be surprised about, no matter how annoying or ruthless a person was when he or she died, everyone says that they were good people," Jia Li spoke wisely as she looked at the scene in front of her.

"That's true," Liu Hui Ying agreed before turning to her three ghosts and the two helpers. " Did you find something ?"
