Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 510: Who is the thief

The second she opened the latch, the sound of a mechanism moving inside the box echoed in the court and when Liu Hui Ying opened the lid of the box again, the gold that was stolen from the finance ministry was inside the box.

Everyone in the court looked at the gold in the box with a stumped look on their faces while Liu Hui Ying heaved a sigh of relief. She was thankful to the heavens that the mechanism did not go bad at the right moment or else she would have become a joke in the eyes of others.

She then took the chance to explain the entire process to the officials who were present in the room, " This is an especially designed box that consists of two systems." She pointed to the lid that was attached to the one on top and then said, " When we tie the latch another lid which is closely fitted into the one above would be secured in the place.

This lid was specially crafted and designed in a way that it looks like the bottom of the box. And the bottom of the box has a wooden surface which is not attached to one side of the box."

" Every time the latch is placed it will pull the bottom of the box and then the gold taels would sink down by an inch." As she explained she kicked the box, the small plank at the bottom of the box fell apart which showed off enough empty space in the bottom of the box.

There was no need for anyone to question anything else, Liu Hui Ying had broken the crux of the matter and explained the mechanism of the box in a way that no one could blame her for using supernatural powers.

' Good thing I used the same plan as that man,' Liu Hui Ying thought in her head. When she was working as a detective there was a time when she met with a very smart thief, he had used the same mechanism while working in banks and caused many thefts.

It took a very long time for Liu Hui Ying to solve the case but it was a good thing that she was the one in charge of that case or else she would have never even understood how to deal with this matter.

Ji Yang who was standing in front of Liu Hui Ying felt like he was watching a dream. He looked at the young man in front of him and knew at once that this man was a celestial master as well but he was afraid of being pushed to the prison because of using supernatural means which was why he came up with this plan.

But when did this man get the chance to sneak inside the Yamen and why did that ghost agree to help this celestial master? Ji Yang was going crazy while Zhai Tianyu heaved a sigh of relief. He acted as if he was amazed by the sight in front of him and slapped his thighs before saying, " Amazing! Amazing! This is something that Zhen has never seen before!

You have done a wonderful job, don't worry Zhen will not break his promise." He then turned to look at Eunuch Li and ordered, " Go and get this young man ten taels of gold and silver. Remember not to bring one less! Today was an eye-opener."

Not long after Eunuch Li returned with the gold and silver that was promised to Liu Hui Ying. When Liu Hui Ying saw the money for which she had stretched an arm and leg she was really happy. Her beloved money! Smooch smooch! How long did she work to get her hands on this?

Come to mommy!

Her expression was still calm but Liu Dong Ming who was standing next to Liu Hui Ying saw the hungry look in the eyes of his daughter. However, he did not find anything wrong with his daughter in fact his dissatisfaction with Grand Dowager Empress and Ji Yang increased even more.

Sure enough just because he did not manage the matter of harem and his cousin did not bother with Liu Hui Ying's matters, these two acted like low-level bosses. The only reason they stayed away from Liu Hui Ying was because they were worried that if they paid too much attention to Liu Hui Ying, then these two people would make Liu Hui Ying suffer even more.

But Liu Dong Ming did not think that even when he was acting as if he was not bothered by the matters of Liu Hui Ying, they would still think of bullying his daughter.

He would never forget this grudge! How dare they keep the dowry of his daughter?

Thus he looked at the man who was panicking and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying before deliberately saying, " Lord Chu but you still haven't explained the matter of who stole the money." His eyes moved to Ji Yang who seemed to have stiffened with the question and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu.

He was very dissatisfied with this young Emperor as well. Though he did not train this man on his own, he had given him a lot of pointers and yet he was still as slow as ever, if his daughter was a man, she would have already made Ji Yang and the rest of the Ji family kneel in front of her.

What a useless husband!

Zhai Tianyu felt like his back was going to be coated with cold sweat, he did not know how he offended Liu Dong Ming but that man was glaring at him. He wanted to say something but refrained himself from speaking anything unnecessary in front of Ji Yang and the rest of the court.

If he pretended to care about the Liu family, this matter would certainly not end here. This was why he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and asked, " Lord Liu is right. We have gotten our money back but the thief is still at loose, Lord Chu didn't you say that the identity of the thief was figured out by you?"
