Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 126

126 how will you find the culprit

” Oh god!” Zhai Tianyu covered his eyes as a sharp pain shot through his skull and eyes, he was stunned at first but then the pain overwhelmed his thoughts and he let out a loud yelp and then lowered his head in his lap. Seeing her nephew yell in pain like that Zhai Chenguang was stunned and then she rushed to his side while fussing over Zhai Tianyu.

” Tianyu does it hurt really bad?”

” Do you want auntie to blow on it?”

” Come here, auntie will foo foo on it.”

Zhai Tianyu did not know that his aunt was fussing over him at first, he glared at Liu Hui Ying and snapped, ” Do you know that I can have your head snapped in half for hurting the Emperor!” His eyes were tearing up and he was sure that his vision has gone much worse than it was before, now he could not even see the living forget about the dead!

” Calm down,” Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes at his whining. ” There is no need for you to act like a snowflake, close your eyes and try to channel your spiritual energy carefully inside you. Calm your energy and then open your eyes, you will be able to see the world differently than you are at the moment.”

Zhai Tianyu did as she told him, he closed his eyes and then channelled his energy such that he soothed the pain in his eyes and when he could no longer feel the pain, he opened his eyes. This time his vision cleared up a lot and then he could see the three ghosts more clearly than he could before and that was when he also noticed another presence in the room, this time a person was standing rather close to him and he was able to see the face of the woman at once glance.

” Aunt?”

” Tianyu..” Zhai Chenguang’s eyes brimmed with pearl-like transparent tears, she has been trying to talk with her family for so many years but they couldn’t hear and after realising that there was no point in haunting her family, she gave up but now that her nephew could see her, her eyes couldn’t help but tear up. ” Its aunt...I...” she looked down at her appearance and when she saw the stab wound on her chest that was still bleeding a black liquid and felt a bit awkward. ” I don’t look like as I used to but its aunt...look my eyes look just like you.”

.....

Zhai Chenguang thought that Zhai Tianyu couldn’t recognise her, after all, he hasn’t seen her for so many years but what she did not know was that the reason Zhai Tianyu wasn’t speaking was that he was stunned upon seeing his aunt’s soul like this when Liu Hui Ying told him that his aunt was still roaming on the surface of the world, he thought that his aunt had some work that has been left unfinished after her death but now that he was seeing her soul that had many stabs marks and wounds all over her body, he couldn’t help but feel his veins on his forehead twitch under his face.

Someone really dared to kill his aunt.

The next second he stood up from the chair causing the chair to slide backwards as a sharp noise resounded in the room. He turned to look at his aunt and asked, ” Aunt you... do you remember seeing anyone before dying?”

He wanted to give justice to his aunt as soon as possible, his aunt died years ago and it has been so long since she stayed on the surface of this world. It’s about time for her to go to the underworld and get reincarnated.

Zhai Chenguang’s eyes lit up when she heard Zhai Tianyu call her aunt but then her gaze turned gloomy and she shook her head before replying, ” I don’t remember seeing anyone, I just know that when I was on the verge of losing consciousness someone came and stabbed me in here,” she pointed to her chest which had a long gash that was bleeding a black miasma like substance.

” I wanted to see who was killing me as well but my vision was not clear because of all the injuries that I received when I was pushed down the cliff.” Zhai Chenguang did not remember how she died but she did know that her carriage was pushed before the landslide happened, it was only when she was thrown off the cliff that the landslide happened, it was as if someone wanted to make sure that she will have no chance to make out of that situation alive. ” I was alive, my body was hurt and bleeding but I was alive, if not for the culprit digging me out and stabbing I could have been saved.”

This was what made Zhai Chenguang grit her teeth, she did not understand how can anyone hate her so much. That they wanted to make sure that she will die and so brutally at that. ” After they stabbed me they did not cover me with the debris of the landslide again instead they kept stabbing me again again with their sword until I was out of breath!”

When Zhai Tianyu heard his aunt’s reply he could understand why his aunt stayed on the surface of this world, her resentment was too big but then again, she died so horribly. The person who was behind the killing of his aunt hated her so much that they dug her out of her man-made grave and then stabbed her until she died. There was no way she would let go of something like this without finding out who was the person who killed her so savagely.

” Aunt you don’t need to worry, I am sure that we will be able to find out the person who is behind this scheme–” Zhai Tianyu began but then he was stopped by Liu Hui Ying who raised her hand and asked him, ” How are you going to find out the culprit?”
