Then what is she?
All her worries and hardships these past two days, the repeated torment of the seawater that nearly cost her her life—what the hell did all that matter?!
"No! Sheriff, no!" Jin Ning roared, "My daughter is talking nonsense! That lab was built by Jin Sijin! It's him! It has nothing to do with me, Sheriff, it has nothing to do with me!!"
The woman's shrill voice made the sheriff's temples throb. He simply waved his hand, signaling for someone to take her away, and added with concern, "Have someone check her mental state."
Mental illness can affect investigations and sentencing, so we absolutely cannot afford to have anything go wrong.
… …
On her way back from the police station, Si Jin was in a good mood. She even bought a bottle of red wine that mermaids couldn't tolerate, intending to bring it to Lin Yuan and amuse him.
The Mermaid King is drunk; I wonder what information we can get out of him?
I'm really looking forward to it.
So, he didn't tell Lin Yuan beforehand, but came directly to the bar, wanting to give Yu a "surprise".
but……
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but every time I get off the bus, I can hear faint singing.
The voice was ethereal and melodious, long and gentle, seemingly having a purifying effect on the soul, but in reality... the more you listened, the more irritating it became.
Is that the song of a mermaid?
Upon realizing this, Si Jin paused noticeably, without using her divine power, her eyes subconsciously glancing at the wine bottle in her hand.
Even when standing steadily with no tremors in his hands, the wine still sloshes.
Who is so shameless as to sing such an awful song?
Si Jin put away the wine bottle, and taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, her pupils returned to a crystal blue color, and the next second, they turned back to black. She went straight upstairs.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if nothing had happened.
But at that moment, thunder was already rumbling outside.
Countless high-level heavenly lightning bolts formed an impenetrable net, and dark clouds loomed over the city, seemingly possessing a built-in tracking function, aimed at the incessantly chanting red-tailed mermaid.
The mermaid was soaking in the bathtub on the fifth floor of the bar, one floor below Lin Yuan's room. She was toying with her bright red curly hair with her knuckles, her eyes sparkling with a triumphant joy.
The songs she hums can stir the emotions of merfolk, bringing forward their breeding season.
Her noble queen has been stranded in the human world, and doesn't even know how to get through the breeding season. How pitiful.
However, if she were made empress, she would be very willing to help.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
Not long after, the singing stopped, and a huge scream came from the fifth floor.
A second later, the bathroom window shattered, and a charred fish screamed as it jumped in, its tiny tail, less than a meter long, thrashing about as it moved toward Ying Chengliang's villa.
Si Jin stood on the sixth-floor balcony and, through the window, clearly saw the mermaid's struggling trajectory—it turned out that it was sent by Ying Chengliang.
It seems there's a new storyline unfolding.
He wasn't in the mood to watch a charred, short-tailed fish dancing in the air amidst lightning, so he simply turned around and pushed open the door.
The room was dark, with the lights off and the curtains drawn tightly, and the dark clouds outside made it even darker.
The room was eerily quiet, with deep, labored breathing coming from under the quilt one after another, making Si Jin feel that even the sound of her leather shoes stepping on the floor was filled with guilt.
He walked slowly to the bedside, only to hear the mermaid muttering from under the covers, "Don't...don't come near me, I have a fever."
"Oh? Is that so? But I think you were influenced by the singing, weren't you?" The melody being sung was outside the scope of mermaid language learning; only the merfolk could understand it.
Therefore, Si Jin didn't know the effect of the singing; she was just a little jealous when she saw that tacky red-tailed fish.
When speaking to Lin Yuan, one naturally wouldn't be polite.
He even flipped the wine bottle open with a "bang," pulling off the cork along with it, as if by divine power.
She spoke softly, "I even bought you wine, why did you just listen to other people singing?"
