There's always someone who thinks about my vests and they're fighting

Shenhou Mansion, in the courtyard of the old building.

Zhui Ming and Po are sitting on the stone bench, drinking and enjoying the cool air, their posture is quite leisurely and comfortable.

Zhuiming recalled the experience of the past two days, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Poe is really amazing for cleaning up such a large pile of unprocessed case files in just two days!"

Poe was bewildered by Zhui Ming's sudden compliment, and scratched his head shyly, obviously quite proud, but he still smiled reservedly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "...It's, it's nothing, those cases are very serious. Simple, the modus operandi is too rough, it seems lacklustre, if it is my generation, it will not leave so many flaws."

Zhui Ming listened, his heart skipped a beat, and then he shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "At this time, Mr. Poe, don't be so obsessed with empathy. If Mr. Poe really ran to become a criminal, I would be at no avail. cry."

Hearing this, Po puffed his cheeks in displeasure, and complained in a low voice: "Zui Mingjun is serious, don't test me anymore, I will never forget what I promised you."

Zhui Ming couldn't help poking Poe's swollen cheeks. The blushing Poe glared at him angrily, so he withdrew his hand with a smirk, and patiently explained: "I didn't mean to test Mr. Poe, but Poe Sir is so clever that I can't help worrying."

"It is said that our generation will not abuse our talents, nor will we do things that violate laws and regulations..." Poe hugged Carl the raccoon, whining and holding back for a long time, and finally couldn't help shouting loudly, "Desperate Lord is obviously If you don't trust me, I will hate you for a quarter of an hour!"

Damn, this is too cute.I thought about my life.

Zhui Ming thought so in his heart, his eyes were unconsciously stained with a little smile, he simply followed Po's words, raised his hand and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, Mr. Po, please forgive me one more time, don't hate me."

Poe secretly glanced at Zhui Ming, then quickly looked away, snorted, reluctantly said: "...Forget it this time, but it's really the last time, let's not be an example."

Zhui Ming was so dazed, he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Po's hair, and laughed heartily: "Don't be an example! Don't be an example!"

Poe let go of Carl the raccoon, covered his messy hair with both hands, and muttered in a low voice: "I've said it many times, don't rub my hair, why didn't Zhuiming Jun remember? It's disgusting..."

At this moment, a stern and handsome young man walked in quickly. His steps were fast but steady. He held a sharp sword without a scabbard in his hand, and his whole body was like his sword. Sharp and compelling, unstoppable.

Seeing the person coming, Zhui Ming couldn't help being startled: "Little Junior Brother, why are you here?"

It turned out that this young man was Zhuge Ming's junior junior brother, the cold-blooded and cold-blooded fourth among Zhuge Zhengwo's four disciples.

"Third Senior Brother, Mr. Poe." After greeting the two of them coldly, he said with a serious expression, "The case of Tianyi Shenshui has come to fruition. Senior Brother sent a message back, and the culprit is Wuhua from Shaolin Temple."

"Wuhua from Shaolin Temple? You mean the rumored Seven Wonderful Monks?" Zhui Ming looked a little stunned.

Cold-blooded nodded.

"It turned out to be him, how could it be him?" Zhui Ming murmured in disbelief.

Leng Xue didn't have any superfluous expressions, and simply said flatly: "It is indeed him. He found out that the matter was exposed, and wanted to kill Nangong Ling to silence him, but he was bumped into by the elder brother and Chu Liuxiang and his party. Seeing the evidence was hard to deny, he simply told himself He confessed to what he did."

"Nangong Ling? Isn't Nangong Ling the young leader of the Beggar Gang? How did he get involved?" Zhui Ming asked.

Leng Xue explained: "Nangong Ling is Wu Hua's younger brother."

Zhui Ming was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered that Tie Shou said that Nangong Ling used a bet to transfer Sikong Zhaixing to the Western Regions, and couldn't help sighing: "I see. I heard that Wuhua is Chu Liuxiang's friend Unexpectedly, he would be relentless in blaming Chu Liuxiang, and even his own brother would be ruthless enough to silence him, the so-called seven wonderful monks are really terrifying people."

Cold-blooded: "This terrible person is dead."

"Dead?" Zhui Ming repeated, looked at Leng Xue in surprise, and asked, "How did he die?"

Cold-blooded and coldly said: "I don't want to accept the trial, and I died by cutting off my meridians."

Zhui Ming didn't speak for a while, then sighed again: "It's a pity."

Leng Xue said decisively and decisively: "Those who despise the law, death is not a pity."

Zhui Ming sighed: "You are right. What I regret is not his death, but the undiscovered secret in him."

"Secret?" Hearing this, Leng Xue was a little confused, "What secret?"

Zhui Ming thought for a while, and explained: "Tianyi Shenshui was stolen by Wuhua, but it appeared on Bat Island. I suspect that Wuhua may have some connection with Mr. Bat."

Cold-bloodedly said: "Master Bat on Bat Island is the young owner of Wuzheng Villa, Yuan Suiyun."

Zhui Ming almost jumped up in shock: "What did you say?"

Leng Xue repeated it again, saying: "The young owner of Wuzheng Villa, Yuan Suiyun, is the Bat Boy on Bat Island."

"How is this possible?" Zhui Ming couldn't help questioning, "What evidence is there?"

Leng Xue was silent for a moment, and said, "This is Wu Hua's testimony before she died."

Zhui Ming became more and more disbelieving: "Although it is said that people who are about to die have good words, they cannot be generalized for people like Wu Hua. Although Yuan Suiyun is from the world, but..."

Zhui Ming suddenly stopped, he originally wanted to say that Yuan Suiyun had always had a good reputation, but then he thought about it, wouldn't the reputation of the seven wonderful monks be even greater?In the end, in order to seize Tianyi Shenshui, Wuhua seduced the people of Shenshui Palace and abandoned them, resulting in two dead bodies. In order to seize the power of Shaolin Temple, she poisoned her senior brother Wuxiang with Tianyi Shenshui. In order to seize the power of the Beggar Gang, he let his younger brother Nangong Ling use Tianyi Shenshui to poison his adoptive father, Ci, the director of the Beggar Gang. This case is simply appalling, it can be described as greedy for profit, and it is outrageous.

Thinking about it, Zhui Ming was at a loss for words.

Leng Xue insisted: "I think Wu Hua is telling the truth. Yuan Suiyun has always been a little bit wrong. Although he looks very similar to Hua Manlou, Hua Manlou is a real gentleman. Yuan Suiyun gives me the feeling But it looks like a dormant beast, as if it is ready to move at any time and tear its prey into pieces. My feeling has always been accurate, Yuan Suiyun's hands must be stained with a lot of blood."

Zhui Ming pondered for a moment, then decided: "In this case, let's check him first."

Leng Xue nodded and said, "There is one more thing."

"What?" Zhui Ming asked casually.

Cold-bloodedly said: "Recently, many forces in the world are looking for the Merman Princess."

"Merman?" Zhui Ming glanced at Leng Xue with some surprise, "Isn't that a legendary creature? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Leng Xue hesitated for a moment, and said, "I also suspected that I had heard wrong."

"Merman, Princess Merman..." Zhui Ming pondered for a moment, gave up thinking, and asked, "Which forces are looking for Princess Merman?"

Leng Xue listed them one by one honestly: "Mainly Wuming Island, Bat Island, some forces under Shi Guanyin in the desert, Tsing Yi Lou and Red Shoes also got involved, and the forces in Baiyun City are also paying attention to this matter. And Nan Wang seems to want to get involved as well."

Zhui Ming was dumbfounded: "This...has nearly half of the forces that are still active in the rivers and lakes included? Even the forces in the court are involved, which is really a big deal. Could it be that there are really mermaids in this world?"

Ever since Leng Xue came over, Po, who had been quietly huddling aside to pretend to be airy, suddenly raised his hand cautiously: "I... I know."

Zhui Ming and Leng Xue both looked at Po.

Poe felt a little uncomfortable being watched by them, couldn't help but wince, and muttered in a low voice: "...No, don't look at me like this."

Zhuiming laughed, and winked at Lengxue, signaling him not to frighten Mr. Poe with a cold face, then looked at Poe, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Poe knows about sharks?"

Poe hugged Carl the raccoon, moved his body, tried to avoid the cold-blooded gaze, and after hearing the words, he murmured for a moment, before hesitatingly confessed: "...We have been to the kingdom of the mermaids before."

"Oh?" Zhui Ming leaned forward and asked with great interest, "Does the kingdom of the mermaids really exist? Where is it? How did Mr. Poe get there?"

Poe explained in a low voice: "The kingdom of the mermen is in the depths of the sea. Humans can only enter it with special water-proof beads made by the mermen."

"Mr. Po has water-proof beads?" Zhui Ming asked.

Poe nodded: "I once accidentally rescued a merman who was in trouble, and the water-repelling beads were a thank you gift from her. Unfortunately, after going to the kingdom of merman once, I accidentally lost it." Some regrets.

The life-seeker asked suspiciously: "Oh? What does a shark look like? Is it a human with a fish tail like in the legend? Can they only move in water?"

Poe couldn't help shaking when he heard "Fishtail", and hugged the raccoon Carl tightly to pretend to be calm: "I have only seen some merman, and among them, the male merman have sharp teeth and claws, and are good at fighting and fighting." Hunting, female mermaids are relatively weak, but they have a beautiful appearance, and they have a voice that can confuse people. In addition, the mermaids have a potion that allows them to grow legs and walk on the shore like humans."

"There really is such a magical species in the world!" Zhui Ming sighed half-believingly, and said, "Since the mermaids have such a treasure that allows them to disguise themselves as humans, it makes sense. Maybe there are many mermaids It has gone ashore, integrated into the crowd, and lived the life of ordinary people, but we didn't find it."

"The potion is not a treasure. The mermaids have to pay a price for taking the potion. The male mermaids will lose their fangs and claws, and the female mermaids will lose their voices. Fate is fair. The mermaids want to leave the sea. The sea will take back the gifts it gave them." Poe said, sighing suddenly, showing a rare complex expression, "And, if my guess is correct, the sharks are about to die out. That shark The human princess may be the last mermaid in the world."

Zhui Ming and Leng Xue heard the words, looked at each other, and looked solemn: "How do you say that?"

"The potion that the mermaids regard as a treasure is made by them at the request of the sea witch. The sea witch is greedy by nature. The mermaids got the potion, but they failed to give the sea witch a satisfactory reward. Therefore, the sea witch cursed them." Poe's voice was a little heavy.

"Curse?" Zhui Ming was a little shocked.

Poe said with a serious face: "Yes, it is a curse. The sea witch told them that the mermaids will no longer be able to reproduce, and their lifespan will be shortened year by year, unless some mermaids can get the sincerity of the favored son of mankind, Then use the dagger given to them by the sea witch to pierce the man's heart, otherwise, this curse will never be broken until the mermaid clan is completely wiped out..."

"Is there no mermaid who can get the sincerity of the proud son of heaven? I remember you said just now that female mermaids are beautiful, so it shouldn't be difficult to get the sincerity?" Zhui Ming couldn't help but interjected and asked, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression. Can you believe it, "Or, even if the country is about to die, the mermaids are not willing to kill?"

Poe was suddenly interrupted in the middle of speaking, and couldn't help but stare at Zhui Ming, curled his lips unhappily, and retorted loudly: "That's not the reason!"

Before Zhui Ming could say anything, Poe seemed startled by his own voice, took a step back silently, glanced quietly at Zhui Ming and Leng Xue, and was relieved to see that they had no special reaction. He continued to explain: "The sea witch lied to them. Killing the lucky person who treats the mermaids sincerely will not solve the problem at all."

As he said that, Poe suddenly showed a mocking smile, then quickly suppressed the smile, and calmly pronounced: "The dagger stained red with blood is the root of the continuous continuation of the curse."
