Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 230 - 230 A cramped space



230 A cramped space

Liu Hui Ying pinned Liu Fei Fei with a stoic gaze and asked, ” Nanny Cheng cannot even see anything clearly, do you think that she can even see whether or not you were in the room? She most probably saw someone lying on the bed on which you usually slept and then took it as if you were the one who was sleeping there.”

She noticed Nanny Cheng’s struggle when she was trying to look at her, she was a detective and she did not have to stay with someone for a long time to see if there were any problems in their normal behaviour and she indeed noticed that Nanny Cheng had difficulty narrowing her vision, it took her a long time to focus on someone and that too when she was staying still if she was moving then Liu Hui Ying was certain that Nanny Cheng only relied on her hearing senses to find out who was the person who was standing in front of her.

This afternoon when she tried to attack her, Liu Hui Ying stayed put and she did not move from her spot at all but Nanny Cheng still was not able to hit her, her footing was unstable and her eye pupils were moving and flickering more than a normal person did which was why Liu Hui Ying knew that the woman had some problems with her eyesight.

Her suspicions were confirmed when Nanny Cheng came to see her at the night, during the entire time Nanny Cheng was there Liu Hui Ying could see that the woman was blinking more than a normal person would do at a regular pace. She kept blinking in a flurry while she was looking at her, if it was someone else they would not have thought much about it but Liu Hui Ying was someone who knew too much about normal human behaviour and was able to detect the abnormalities in nanny Cheng after a simple glance.

” I …I did not know,” Liu Fei Fei felt terrible as she placed her broken neck in place and then looked at Liu Hui Ying while biting her lip, she has been with Nanny Cheng all her life but she did not know anything about Nanny Cheng at all. She did not even know that the woman who has been taking care of her for such a long time was actually having problems with her vision.

” Of course, you did not,” Liu Hui Ying was not surprised, she was not an expert in psychology or human behaviour but she was smart enough to detect the small actions of people around her. The first time she met Liu Fei Fei, she knew that the girl was warped in her own world so much that she did not even have time to look at others, it wasn’t that Liu Fei Fei did not care about Nanny Cheng, she did, she truly did care about Nanny Cheng but the thing was that she cared about herself more than she cared about anyone else.

” You have always been wallowing in your self-pity so much that you could not see that you were losing people around you,” Liu Hui Ying commented as she swept the robe that Liu Fei Fei was wearing aside and then took hold of her feet as she placed her other hand on top of the toe and moved it, her eyes flickered slightly as she scoffed. ” I would not be surprised that you ended up offending someone while you were on the way, for them to tie you up and keep you in a small place. I don’t know what you did to them.”

Jia Li looked at Liu Fei Fei’s stiff leg which seemed to have a little abnormal bent to it and then pursed her lips. ” This is going to be difficult, before finding out the culprit we have to find out where she has been locked up only then we will be able to find out who was the one behind it.”

According to Liu Fei Fei and Nanny Cheng, the crime scene was the pond but now that Jia Li was looking at the abrasions on Liu Fei Fei’s legs and the slight curl of her toes and knees, she could see that Liu Fei Fei was left to kneel in a cramped up space which was exactly her size or else she wouldn’t have scarped her knees on the surface of the space where she was locked.

.....

” Examine her body,” Liu Hui Ying told Jia Li who was now standing beside her. ” And this time don’t be in a hurry to hand in your report, we are not in a hurry and you have enough time to enjoy your dramas as well …so do a good job this time.”

The reason Jia Li was impatient was that she did not like working for too long after her death, she only liked to dissect bodies and not examine them.

Jia Li poked her tongue out before she turned to look at Liu Fei Fei’s body and started to examine her carefully this time, even Liu Fei Fei who understood how important this was did not say a word and simply watched Jia Li examining her body.

“There is a bloody froth in the airway and I need to test it to check the presence of diatom algae,” Jia Li said as she took out a small amount of blood that was clogged up inside Liu Fei Fei’s throat because the latter did not want her body to be cut open, Jia Li had a hard time using a small thin iron thread that she sent inside Liu Fei Fei’s air passageway through her nose. ” I will see what kind of algae she has inside her body or whether or not she even has one, that way we will be able to narrow down the places that we need to investigate.”

Liu Hui Ying nodded but before she could say anything more she heard a low thump outside the door of the funeral hall.
