"There is only one truth: the suspect is a mermaid."
"Ji Nianqin, can you be serious?"
"If a person is always good at waiting, what will happen?"
"If it's a fish, it should have turned into dried salted fish, but if it's a person, could it be? A mermaid?"
"Brother Lawyer, your thinking is really jumping around. It seems that if we switch roles, we might do better. I'm kind of at a career bottleneck right now."
"Hahaha, you don't have any career at all, okay? And you're still in a bottleneck?"
"Why don't I have one? Isn't wearing a hairpin a career?"
"Anyone can do that. The most important thing is, it requires absolutely no technical skills. Just a few broken hairpins, and a few scissors. As long as you don't make a hornet's nest, they'll basically all be super beautiful. The most important thing is the appearance."
"Brother Lawyer, I thought you were different from those boys, but I didn't expect you to be exactly the same. You're wrong. There are many tricks to wearing a hairpin. If you're not careful, it won't stay in place, or it might get crooked. Then, don't you know what to do?"
"Then do it again."
"If you start over every time, the end result is of course that you'll have to start all over again. How can you live your life then? So, when you do something, the first thing you should think about is not what you'll gain, but what you'll lose. Just like the mermaid, why did she cheat? Tell me yourself."
"Of course there are many reasons for cheating, probably because of love."
"Love means there's no sadness, but what love story isn't incredibly sad? So, a lot of songs and plays are embellished. Just try to listen; they're just there to bring us beauty. We have to live our real lives ourselves. For example, in the case you showed me, they found a lot of fish scales on the ground. If they weren't mermaids, what were they?"
"It could also be the fish scales that I just bought."
"Hahaha, that's totally impossible. I have the following analysis. Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course I do. I also think that mermaids really do exist in this world. They're probably a bit ugly. I've seen reports of them in newspapers before."
"Wrong, totally wrong. It's possible that mermaids are very beautiful. Look at this mirror. It looks exactly like Snow White's stepmother's sunglasses."
"Mermaids must be truly ugly, so that they will have many admirers."
"Admirers? Because mermaids are ugly? They're all attracted to the merman within? Never mind, I won't waste my time on you. Anyway, I'm telling you, this suspect is definitely a mermaid, no doubt about it."
"A mermaid turned thief?"
"A mermaid has no money. What if she starves to death? She can't eat her own tail. So, in my opinion, the fish scales should be a gift to the victim. In the Dragon Palace, fish scales are very important. They are probably equivalent to the hair on your head. Very precious, aren't they?"
"That's true. After all, I don't have many hairs either. But how embarrassed am I to solve the case the way you did? Can I go to court and tell the judge your deduction to clear my suspect of the charges?"
"Brother Lawyer, trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt. If you don't trust me so much, why are you still arguing with me so much? You should know that the emotional foundation between us is weak. We are not classmates, so we don't understand each other."
