After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 228 The Headless Female Ghost

In the wing room.

The maid had just changed Xu Yingying's dressing and was ready to leave after Xu Yingying put on her clothes.

The maid walking in front of Xu Yingying pulled the door a few times but found that it didn't move at all.

The maid pulled a few more times, but found that the door still did not open.

What is there for Xu Yingying to not understand? It is most likely that someone locked the door from the outside.

The maid looked at Xu Yingying anxiously and helplessly, "My lord, what should we do about this?"

Xu Yingying looked calm, "It's okay. Since someone has locked us in here and we can't get out for a while, why don't we stay here and see what the other party wants to do."

"Yes, my lord."

Since Xu Yingying had already spoken, the maid naturally didn't dare to say anything more and could only quietly step aside.

"Don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue us soon." Xu Yingying comforted the other person.

With Xu Yingying's comfort, the maid's extremely nervous heart suddenly relaxed.

Of course, Xu Yingying did not choose to sit and wait for death. She secretly asked Zhong Lin to inform Li Siqi and ask him to come and save her.

Xu Yingying supported her head with her hands and prepared to rest for a while at the table. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she found a strong smell of blood spreading around her body.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a headless ghost standing next to her.

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, and silently sighed in her heart that this headless female ghost was so violent.

"I know you can see me, and I need your help." The headless female ghost spoke slowly.

Xu Yingying subconsciously refused: "No."

After all, the violence of this headless female ghost was so serious that he had never seen a female ghost with such a strong violence.

Xu Yingying instinctively felt that she could not solve the problem of the female ghost. Even if she could, it would definitely cost a huge price to solve it.

"What? You dare to finish me off?"

When the headless female ghost heard that her request was rejected, she immediately became unhappy.

She exuded a strong yin energy, which immediately caused the temperature of the entire room to drop by several degrees.

The headless female ghost was nowhere to be seen. The maid, who had no idea what had happened, wrapped her clothes tightly around her and her teeth began to chatter.

"That's strange, what happened?"

"Why did it suddenly become so cold?"

Seeing that the other person was too angry, Xu Yingying reluctantly compromised and said, "Okay! Tell me what you want me to do for you. I can't guarantee that I can solve it for you 100%, but I will do my best to help you."

The headless female ghost felt much better after hearing Xu Yingying's words, and she slowly expressed her request.

"Sir, I am sorry for what I did just now, but I was forced to do so. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay, I don't take it to heart." Xu Yingying said with a nonchalant look on the surface, but in fact, she was so scared by the headless female ghost that her heart beat faster.

"My wish is simple. I want to find the murderer who killed me."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying immediately asked, "Then do you know where your body is?"

The headless female ghost nodded and pointed at the bed beside her.

Just as Xu Yingying was about to get up, Li Siqi's voice came from outside the door.

"Quick! This is the room. Open the door for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were banging sounds coming from the door.

In just a few seconds, the door was forced open with a creaky sound.

Li Siqi rushed in hurriedly, and when he saw Xu Yingying standing in front of him unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on? Why are you standing there?" Li Siqi asked curiously.

Xu Yingying answered irrelevantly: "Your Highness, please find someone to dismantle the bed."

Li Siqi nodded, then waved his hand and asked a few eunuchs beside him to dismantle the bed.

As a result, as soon as I opened the bed, before I tore it open, a rotten smell came from inside.

When the young eunuchs saw the situation inside the bed clearly, they couldn't help but vomit while holding onto the pillars beside them.

"vomit--"

At this time, the eunuchs who were following Li Siqi and trying to curry favor with him also accidentally saw this scene.

Suddenly things got out of control and the incident of the headless female corpse became a big deal.

Of course, this news also reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor was immediately unhappy after hearing this. After all, he discovered this at the farewell banquet he hosted for Cui Jiangke.

Isn't this a clear lack of respect for him?

"Investigate! This matter must be investigated thoroughly for me."

"Master Xu, I leave this matter to you."

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned away without giving Xu Yingying a chance to refuse.

Perhaps this incident was too cruel, and no one wanted to hold the banquet anymore.

Just like that, a farewell banquet ended so abruptly.

Xu Yingying had no choice but to have the headless female ghost’s body packed up and transported to the palace.

The headless female ghost followed Xu Yingying back to her room, and Xu Yingying prepared to wash up and rest.

But the headless female ghost refused, "Sir, is my body just going to be placed in such a remote room?"

Xu Yingying nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled. "Yes! Where else do you want to put it if you don't put it in a remote room?"

The headless female ghost was immediately unhappy after hearing this, "Sir, I don't want to be separated from my own corpse. I want to sleep in the same room with my own corpse."

"Okay, then you go to the side room and sleep!" Xu Yingying nodded.

"No, I mean that you put my body in your room and then the three of us sleep together." The headless female ghost emphasized.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying fell into silence.

"Wild grass, come out! Teach her a lesson for me." Xu Yingying pointed at the headless female ghost.

The weeds jumped out from somewhere and beat up the female head ghost.

"I told you to be unreasonable."

"I told you to find trouble."

"Now you know who the real master is, right?"

"I advise you to be a good person and not get involved in so many things."

……

While Ye Cao was "educating" the headless female ghost, he kept explaining things to her.

After this operation, the headless female ghost no longer had the arrogance she had just now, and became a very well-behaved person.

She would do whatever Xu Yingying said. If Xu Yingying told her to go east, she would definitely not go west.

Xu Yingying was very satisfied with this.

in the afternoon.

Li Siqi, who had gone out to gather information, also came back. He told Xu Yingying all the information he knew.

It turned out that the room where Xu Yingying changed her clothes was where the palace maids lived, and it had always been occupied.

However, since the palace maids usually moved their residences around, they were unable to determine the identity of the corpse for the time being, and had to investigate carefully to find out.

There were no useful clues for a while, and the case came to a stalemate again, and Xu Yingying was unable to take any action.

At this moment, Camellia came back from somewhere.

When the headless female ghost saw Camellia, her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. She was extremely scared, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Camellia looked at the clothes on the headless female ghost and felt that they looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.
