276 Lets head to the cri investigation departnt

Zhai Heng did not say anything and stayed silent on the other hand Liu Hui Ying looked at him with a small smile and finally ended her long speech, ” And you do not have to bla yourself for what happens to others, as long as you know in your heart that you tried your best. If you save them then it’s okay but if you can’t then it is okay too, feeling guilty for a few days is fine but make sure that you do not spend your life away in guilt just because you were not paying attention or were not fast enough, all right?”

She turned around to leave after she was done speaking and Zhai Heng who was left behind was completely silent, no one has spoken such words to him, not even his grandmother whom he respected and loved so much. Even she sotis would ask him to work hard saying that he shouldn’t let a repetition of that day happen ever again and pushing him to work harder than ever.

Had she ever told him that he was not at fault for what happened that day? As Zhai Heng tried to recall he was surprised to realize that his grandmother has never said these words to him in the past, even though she has never said it outright, he knew that his grandmother blad him for that incident and so did Zhai Heng.

But now Liu Hui Ying was telling him that it was all right for him to not feel guilty? Can he really do that? Can he really let go of the past?

He raised his head and looked at the moon that was shining brightly in the sky and for the first ti in many years, he felt like the wind that was blowing past him was no longer as cold as bleak as it used to be.

…

The three of them arrived at the morgue that was next to the prison because the people of this era did not have any proper tools to keep the dead body intact for a long ti thus the morgue was completely empty except for three dead bodies lying on the pieces of ice blocks.

Yu Lingyun who would start acting jumpy every ti he saw a ghost was unusually calm in the presence of the dead bodies, in his defence as long as the dead body did not have a lingering soul attached to it and that lingering soul was nowhere near him, he was not scared of them.

Zhai Heng was not even scared of ghosts, so taking a look at dead bodies was an easy feat for him as well, what was more the Queen was here and she was even examining the dead body of the maid with her hands, she did not even feel icky so how can he feel icky?

.....

Liu Hui Ying at this mont was bending down slightly as she examined the back of the neck of the maid when she found Liu Fei Fei’s body and saw that the woman’s head was pushed in the water a lot of tis before she was completely killed, she thought that the killer had a fierce hatred towards Liu Fei Fei.

But then she examined consort Su’s body and was surprised to see that even consort Su’s neck seed to have been squeezed and pushed in the water several tis.

However, nanny Gong told her that consort Su and consort Liu were good friends that could count as them having the sa enemy but now that she was examining the body of the maid, she was more one less assured that the murderer did have a personal grudge with the two won but he did not push their necks inside the water because of the grudge he was holding, it was more like he was getting rid of sothing.

And that sothing was what Liu Hui Ying had missed while examining the body of the dead Liu Fei Fei.

Liu Hui Ying’s eyes narrowed as she used the magnifying glass in her hands to look at the back of the neck of the maid, it was after looking for a very long ti that was she able to find what she was looking for, a victorious glint flashed in her eyes as she turned to look at Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun who were standing beside her and she asked, ” You said that this maid just died a few hours ago, did you find any note or sothing next to her?”

Given the habit of leaving a note beside the dead body of the murderer, Liu Hui Ying could not help but ask. If that man left notes beside the dead bodies of Liu Fei Fei and consort Su, surely he will leave one next to this maid as well.

” There was indeed one,” Yu Lingyun was surprised when he heard the Queen ask whether the maid had a letter with her at the ti of her death or not, he did not understand how the Queen knew so certainly that there was a note left in the quarters where the maid used to leave.

He rummaged in his pockets before he pulled the letter out of his back pocket and handed it to Liu Hui Ying who took it, he thought that the latter would examine it properly but instead, he saw her take the letter and take a long ——whiff of the ink.

Yu Lingyun: ???? I do admit that the scent of ink is the best but was this the ti to sll the scent of the ink?

Liu Hui Ying took a whiff of the gentle scent of the ink and her eyes flashed before she turned to look at Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun and said, “Let’s go to the cri investigation departnt, there is sothing that I want to say to them.”

As she spoke she strode out of the morgue leaving a very speechless Yu Lingyun and a very confused Zhai Heng behind.
