Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 2: Boom transmigration: poisoned wine

” Liu Hui Ying, wake up we are in deep shit!”

” Hui Ying! Wake up! Or else I am going to whack your ass!”

” Hui Ying dear wake up please before you become just a spirit of the dead like us!”

Death — the word was scary enough for Liu Hui Ying to wake up at once as, though her head felt like it has been smashed with a baseball bat with a then thrown in front of a bus to be trodden on, she still sat up straight despite the rolling and tilting world. ” What’s going on, I don’t think that I drank so much right?”

She blinked the haze out of her eyes and then looked around, what she saw made her frown — she was lying on a bed that had a circular opening with curtains hanging on both sides, the stuffing of the bed was harder than the one she was used to, and what was more the entire room was filled with the thing she has only seen in historical dramas. ” W..What is this?” She jumped out of the bed and almost stumbled because of the length of the dress she was wearing, stunned she looked down and what she saw nearly made her pass out.

” This ...This ..why is this on my body?” she asked the three ghosts hovering in the air, though what she was going through was simply unexpected but at least she had her three employees with her or else Liu Hui Ying was sure that she was going to lose her mind. ” What happened? Are we dragged into some shooting or something ”

Jia Li stared at her with a complicated expression before pointing to the small mirror that was sitting on the table across the bed and saying, ” You better take a look at your face first, you will get a better understanding of what’s happening.”

.....

” My face? Is it scarred? Did I receive plastic surgery or what–” Liu Hui Ying’s words were cut off the second she looked in the mirror because in the mirror, it wasn’t her but the woman in red. Her peach blossom eyes blinked along with the rhythm with which Liu Hui Ying was blinking her eyes. ” This can’t be happening ...No way is this happening...” muttered Liu Hui Ying as she backed off from the mirror. ” That’s ..That’s not me!”

And what was more the girl was too slender like a frail little flower! All the muscles that she worked hard for in the police unit were gone and were now replaced with silky, soft skin that was nothing like her. Even her double D’s were gone!

Covering her face with her hands, Liu Hui Ying shook her head. ” This can’t be happening to me, not a night before my promotion!”

” Well, this really did happen,” said Li Gang as he floated down on the floor and rubbed his jaw. ” I don’t know what happened when you touched that woman, but as soon as you caught her something weird happened and then we were here.”

” Li Gang is right,” said Jia Li as she too came to stand next to Liu Hui Ying and softly spoke, ” I know that you are shocked but the truth is that you are now in the body of the woman who was trying to jump from the cliff.”

Liu Hui Ying stared at the two of them before snapping angrily. ” You two should at least let me deny my reality in peace for two seconds, can you? What is this fierce way of making me realise the truth of my situation? Do you really need to do something as cruel as that?”

” It will be better for you to get hold of yourself as quickly as possible because the woman was delivered poisoned wine just a minute ago,” said Li Gang causing Liu Hui Ying’s thoughts to pause at once.

” What did you say ...what wine ...?” For the first time in her life, Liu Hui Ying felt like she couldn’t wrap her head around a peculiar situation, which was new to her given that she was in the police and was prepared to tackle the worst out of the worst situation.

” Poison wine,” said Grandma Lan Fen as she took a sniff of the jar that was kept on the cabinet next to the bed and shook her head. ” The scent of death in there is very faint but it is there, I am afraid that even if the poison doesn’t have the ability to kill you ... constant consumption will lead to a very slow painful death.”

Liu Hui Ying chuckled, looking at the large jar and said, ” Who in their right mind would drink a poisoned wine?”

” They will if all the sources of water, food and everything else were taken away from the room,” muttered Li Gang under his breath, only then did Liu Hui Ying take a glance at the room and realised that her third employee was right. Except for the poisoned wine, there was nothing else in the room, it was as if the one who was keeping this woman here, was waiting for the woman to become desperate and take a sip of the poisoned wine.

” You have got to be kidding me,” she strolled out of the bedroom, the three ghosts following behind her. As she walked out of the bedroom, she realised that whoever had the woman locked in the bedroom was really serious– they really wanted the woman to die! The entire room was completely empty of anything edible and the woman was the only one inside the room.

” This woman must have done something really bad,” commented Jia Li as she surveyed the surrounding. ” I mean a slow death than a painless one, it’s really terrible.”

” And that terrible death is going to befall on me in case I don’t get out of this room quickly!” said Liu Hui Ying as she headed towards the door of the room but no sooner did she push open the door than several swords were aimed at her at once.
