Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 20 The Song of the Sea
Murphy was taken back to the dungeon, and this time someone was in charge of guarding him.
Moreover, he was arraigned within a short period of time.The mermaid actually has an indoor place for interrogating humans, half of which is water and half is air.
Murphy was questioned in the glass enclosure, watching the mermaid police officers around him, he had the illusion that he was being visited in a zoo.
A police officer opened his mouth to read Murphy's file. There was not much content in it, and he said that he was a Hakka born at sea, who were his parents, and what was his birthday.Then the subject changed, and he said that Murphy had stolen an important mermaid secret treasure in Langya Island, and had repeatedly absconded after being taken back to the water prison for interrogation.
He asked seriously: "Is there such a thing?"
Murphy said innocently: "I didn't steal anything."
So, the police officers took out the evidence bag and put a photo in front of Murphy-the photo was of Enoch's ring.
Murphy said, "This is a gift from my friend."
"I still want to deny it!" said the police officer, "This is a special kind of jade that is only produced in the trench, and only the upper-level mermaids can afford it. You have never seen a mermaid before, how could you have a mermaid friend who spends so much money?"
Murphy said, "Then where else do you think it came from?"
"Of course I stole it from a certain nobleman when I was stealing the secret treasure!" The police officer said, "You have been hiding for so long, and you finally ran out of ammunition and food at sea, so you had to take out the stolen goods and prepare to go to Peizhou." Buying water on Ji Island, right? Fortunately, we guessed that human beings will definitely buy fresh water in summer, so we sent people to stay in various places in advance, otherwise we might not be able to catch you this time!"
This logic...is quite reasonable.
Murphy thought for a while, and then said, "But this is not ironclad evidence. How do you know that I don't have a mermaid friend?"
"Of course there are witnesses." The police officer said, "The human beings with you have confessed a long time ago. You caused them to be imprisoned together in the water prison for so long, without even thinking about their situation! They are also very loyal. I have persisted for so long...but loyalty is insignificant in the face of justice."
Murphy said, "Did Flying Fish confess to me?"
"Don't try to be silly!" said the Inspector. "We have enough evidence here that you never saw a mermaid—"
"What if it's the mermaid friend I made these days?" Murphy asked.
The police officer sneered: "Do you think that because I'm easy-going, it means I'm easy-to-deceive? You have to make up a little logic. Who would give such a precious personal thing to a friend you just met?"
Murphy had nothing to say, and said, "As far as I know, you should have recovered the shark beads."
"The secret treasure has been found, but it was done by the high priest himself. This is the shame of our incompetence. Therefore, the murderer who stole the secret treasure must be severely punished!" The police officer's eyes flashed fiercely.
Next, Murphy was brought out for interrogation three times a day.
They didn't let him sleep well or eat well, so they locked him in a dark room without water and electricity to torture his spirit.
But Murphy was quite indifferent, and the meal was still delicious.
He had no chance to meet other humans, but the water prison is really not big.Once, when he was going to the bathroom, he met a flying fish.
When Fei Yu saw him, he also looked surprised, lowered his head and wanted to trot out.
"Flying fish." Murphy stopped him, "I've never seen a mermaid, did you tell them?"
Flying Fish said in a panic: "I... I didn't expect this to be evidence. Murphy, I really didn't mean it. You have been running away for months, and I thought they wouldn't catch you..."
Looking at his expression, Murphy calmly said, "Lie."
Feiyu said again: "Yes, you told me that in the law of mermaids, people are allowed to sing to atone for crimes. You sing so well, even if you are convicted, you can use this method to get away. I thought... I Thought you'd be fine."
When Murphy saw his eyes, he understood.
"We were also locked up together, but I was able to go out at any time because I sang well and got a lot of attention online. Do you feel jealous?" Murphy said.
Flying Fish's face twisted, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't speak.
Murphy shook his head and said, "Forget it, human beings are the same, let's go."
Flying Fish didn't know that Murphy had no chance to use that law.
No matter how good the law is, it must be practiced by someone.But those people didn't give Murphy this chance. They have been detaining Murphy privately. There was no trial, and there was no jury at all.
After the first few days passed, Murphy behaved nonchalantly, which made many people start to worry.
In the Neptune's Guard, the green-haired mermaid appeared. It is said that he was the most anxious person in the theft.Others call him "Captain Carol", and it seems that his social status is very high.
He ordered the torture, and they began shoving Murphy into the electric shock at a fixed time every day.
Later, Murphy still refused to let go, and Carol ordered people to beat him and use other instruments of torture.You could tell they were anxious and hated, and Carol would go into battle with a whip himself, cursing all humans.
Murphy was not in a hurry at the moment, looked at Carol and said, "You also use a whip?"
Carol was out of breath, and he almost suspected that the human being in front of him didn't have pain nerves.He said angrily: "Confess, confess now! Otherwise, I still have [-] ways to make you speak."
Murphy thought for a while, and said, "But I'm not in a hurry. It seems that you are the ones who are in a hurry. What's the matter, a military order was issued in front of the high priest. Do you have to find the thief in a certain amount of time?"
Carol looked ugly, put the whip aside, and said: "You want to delay the time and wait for the court? Haha, your companion said that you sing very well, and hoped that the law of using songs to atone for crimes, but you will not Here is the chance."
Then he used a torture instrument to stretch Murphy's mouth to the limit, took a pair of slender scissors, and cut his vocal cords.
Murphy neither begged for mercy, nor showed fear or pain, but a strange thought flickered in his eyes.
Carol obviously didn't expect Murphy to confess.
A few days later, it was time for the trial.They asked Murphy to put on a blindfold, and rushed to the court through a special passage.
As soon as the passage was closed, Murphy was standing in an air ball, and he could hear the sound of bubbling water around him.The jury had already taken their seats, and another person's voice could be heard beside him, which should be Feiyu as a witness.
Murphy took off the blindfold privately and looked at the court through a small window. Anyway, he was staying alone in the air balloon now.
Maybe after the court session, he will be summoned and the whole ball will be pushed up together.
He saw that the mermaid's court was spherical, and they didn't have the upper and lower distinctions like humans.On the judge's seat in the middle, after several judges took their seats, there was an empty seat at the top, and the front was covered with a layer of tulle as a cover.
Immediately afterwards, all the mermaids bowed and saluted, a passage opened above, and a mysterious mermaid sat on the main seat.
Carol stepped forward to salute, saluting in a low voice to the person behind the tulle.
Because Murphy stayed in the air balloon, some voices were hard to hear.He simply lay down on the wall of the enclosure, and just happened to hear the person on the main seat speaking, the hidden angry voice penetrated the sea water and the air, and he could vaguely hear: "...Carol, this is what you gave me. answer?"
Carol's face became tense, his head lowered, and he seemed to be saying something to defend himself, and looked at Murphy in the air balloon from time to time.
Murphy waved hello.
Immediately afterwards, the person on the throne said: "I already knew the human being who stole the shark pearl. As the captain of the guard, you were ordered to investigate the suspect, but in the end you abused your power and pushed an innocent human being to death." The court came to take credit. You still don't know how to repent?"
Carol shuddered and fell to the ground in front of her.
Murphy thought about it, the voice of this person seemed familiar.
Immediately afterwards, the layer of tulle was opened.
Inside was a golden mermaid with a slender tail gracefully waving the sea water, and there was no emotion on its handsome face.
He is Murphy's old acquaintance, Enoch.
Murphy looked at Enuo from the air balloon. Enoch was wearing a formal suit today.The clothes of mermaids are beautiful in lightness and slenderness. The upper body often wears a robe with shoulder straps, armbands, and belts. When swimming in the sea, the layers of gauze are gathered, spread, or swayed, giving a sense of solemnity. and holy beauty.
Enoch left from the main seat, looking around with a stern expression.
He said coldly: "You guys let me down."
All the mermaids in the court immediately bowed their heads, not daring to look at him.
Then, when Enoch was on a tour, he suddenly saw something and stopped where he was.He stretched out his hand, and an evidence bag was automatically opened, and a jade-white ring came out from it, and it fell gently on his palm.
Enoch's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Bring the suspect up."
Then, two mermaid policemen pushed Enoch's air balloon out.
Murphy looked like a hamster inside, managed to maintain his balance, and looked at Enoch while pulling at the wall.
The two looked at each other for two seconds.
Enoch held the ring in his hand and clenched his fist, as if he was very angry, but his other hand was finally placed gently on the wall.He murmured, "It's you."
Murphy wanted to say "Enoch, long time no see", but the broken vocal cords couldn't make a sound.
He pouted and blew a kiss back to Enoch.
Enoch was a little stunned, but couldn't help but curled up his lips, and said in a low voice, "You were actually taken away by Carol. It's okay, I just met you this time, so come back with me."
He waited for Murphy's answer.
Murphy looked at him, opened his mouth, but made no sound.
Enoch said, "Haven't thought about it yet?"
Murphy shook his head, and pointed to his throat again.
Enoch stared at him carefully, suddenly, his golden pupils shrank violently, and his face changed.
