Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 228 - 228 A fool



228 A fool

” What do you mean by a hoax?” Jia Li could not help but ask, she was very much certain that she has made no mistake while examining the clues that were found on Liu Fei Fei’s body according to what the latter has described she was certain that the things that she found should have been sufficient but now Liu Hui Ying was telling her that she was wrong? How can she be certain about this and that too in such a manner that she was telling her so confidently that Liu Hui Ying was the one who made a mistake?

” You only listened to what she had to say,” Liu Hui Ying calmly replied while looking at Jia Li who was staring at her with a really affronted look on her face, she did not say anything to Liu Hui Ying and instead waited for her to finish speaking.

Seeing that Jia Li was listening to her words so seriously Liu Hui Ying smiled and then turned towards the coffin that was placed on the side and continued speaking, ” You only examined her neck because she told you that she has been choked by someone from behind coupled with the testimony that has been given to you by others also caused you to be overly confident that what Liu Fei Fei told us was right.”

With her arms still crossed Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Jia Li and then looked at her sideways, the moonlight that has been sieved past the window of the funeral hall was falloff over the face that was filled with youth and when Liu Hui Ying turned to the side everyone could see that her delicate skin that was like porcelain was shimmering under the sunlight with her eyelashes curling up slightly as she lowered her head to look at Jia Li.

” You forgot that sometimes ghosts only remembered a few moments before their death as for the rest they have no inkling of what happened to them,” Liu Hui Ying calmly told Jia Li who did not seem to understand what she was saying when Liu Hui Ying saw that Jia Li was not getting what she was trying to say, she sighed and then walked over the table where the tools of doing an autopsy were kept and then picked up a brush and some powder to enhance the features of the body that were hidden under the pale skin and injuries that the corpse received before dying.

This was something that Jia Li has come up with when she was very young, the woman was talented but she was too impatient which was why even though her mind was exceptionally brighter than the others, she did not get many chances at doing autopsies and was only used as a genius who could come up with different tools and various new types of research for forensic research this was the reason why Jia Li would often get too excited whenever she got a chance to do an autopsy, though she was talented her impatience and habit of ignoring the facts in front of her was simply her enemy.

Liu Hui Ying sprinkled some powder on Liu Fei Fei’s mouth and wrist and waited for an entire minute before letting the powder take effect before she raised her hand and then used the brush that was in her hand to wipe the visibility powder that was sticking to Liu Fei Fei’s skin.

Once she was done wiping the visibility powder off Liu Fei Fei’s skin one could see small marks and abrasions on her wrists and mouth as if she has been tied up by someone before she was killed.

When Jia Li saw the marks she was stunned and then turned to look at Liu Fei Fei who looked just as equally stunned as her. Seeing this Jia Li was simply speechless, how can someone forget that they were kidnapped before being killed off, she understood that Liu Fei Fei could not remember the face of her killer but she actually forgot that she was kidnapped as well.

.....

” Why are you looking surprised as well?” Li Gang at this moment chose to vocalise the question that was going on in everyone’s heads as he looked at Liu Fei Fei who was looking like she could not believe her eyes at all. ” You were the one who was killed right, you did not even remember that you were tied up before you were killed? How is it possible for you to simply forget something so important?”

Li Gang was literally speechless when he saw that Liu Fei Fei was looking at the abrasion marks on her skin with the same amount of surprise as them. Why was she looking at her body as if this was her first time seeing this? How can someone forget how they died? Just how thick this woman’s skull really was?

Li Gang was speechless and Grandma Lan Fen was just as surprised at Liu Fei Fei’s forgetfulness but she still kindly looked at Liu Fei Fei and advised her politely, ” My dear when you go to the underworld make sure that you tell the guardians there that you want a wonderful memory in your next life, they will surely give you some relaxation since you were killed.” She then paused and added, ” Will you remember this or should I write it down for you?”

Liu Fei Fei did not say a word instead she looked at Liu Hui Ying who was casually brushing her feet with the same visibility powder causing the dark black and purple veins to become even more proficient than they were before, she hesitated for a few seconds before she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and asked, ” What…What does this mean?”

When Liu Hui Ying heard Liu Fei Fei’s question she did not answer her at once instead she waited to wipe the powder off Liu Fei Fei’s feet before she calmly raised her head and looked at Liu Fei Fei as she replied, ” It means that you were a fool whose head is emptier than that of a panda.”
