It has been several days since returning from the Jiang family to their own home, and another mysterious murder case has occurred in Yezhe City!
The entire Yeze City was filled with restless hearts.
"In the future, you can't go out at night randomly, it's too terrifying. Even if there's something that must be done outside, you have to take me with you, understand?" Before going to bed at night, Gu Mingshen was still worried and deliberately reminded with a sentence.
"...Mm." Wulicha cautiously nodded obediently, but his guilty conscience was evident.
The recent series of murders is highly likely to have been committed by mermaids.
On Earth, besides him, the only other merfolk who had descended earlier were Omidi and his prince brother.
For the future of their Mermaid Star and the stability of the empire, he must promptly bring the Crown Prince back!
I must ensure that no accidents occur to the Crown Prince's elder brother on Earth.
Killing innocent species on his star and ruling over them is a violation of interstellar law. My brother would never commit such a grave mistake!
It is highly likely that the one who killed is Omidi Di Di!
He kidnapped the elder brother of the crown prince. If we find him, we will definitely find the crown prince's brother.
Ou Licha Licha firmly made up his mind. In the middle of the night, he crawled out from under the covers and sneaked out of the house without informing Gu Mingshen.
The man, who should have been fast asleep, opened his eyes at this moment. In his eyes, there was a chilling and desolate expression.
He sat up and stood by the window, watching the figure sneaking out of the house in the darkness. A sharp pain surged through his heart.
"Finally, are you leaving me again?"
"Wife, once again, she escaped."
For a husband, this is not only a huge humiliation but also... an immense pain!
"So, you've been... pretending all these days. Just waiting for this moment when I let my guard down, is that right? Why... Yu Bai... Chacha, my Chacha, why do you keep hurting me over and over again? Do you really hate me that much?"
Betrayed by the person they love, the man feels an immense sadness, a heartache like no other.
Because...is it because of the adulterer? In the end, you want to abandon me and run away with someone else!" Gu Mingshen angrily smashed the window, but the glass remained intact. However, his palm was painfully throbbing from the impact.
He had the urge countless times to chase after her, to bring his wife, his beloved, back. But... he always stopped himself, suppressing this thought.
"If you don't love me, I can't force it. In this lifetime, I'll just consider it my misfortune. If you want to leave... this time, I choose to set you free."
The man then chuckled at himself with self-derision. He opened the liquor cabinet and took out the strongest white liquor, then proceeded to drink it straight away.
Late at night, drinking alone, absorbed in one's thoughts.
After coming out of the Gu family's house, Wu Li Cha held the cellphone that Gu Ming Shen had bought for him, and browsed Weibo, stumbling upon numerous news articles about "zombie killings." He then went to the nearest crime scene in his area, the back street behind the famous brothel in Yeze City.
"...The taste of my brother? How could it be! Could it be... It's really my brother? Impossible! My brother may not like Earthlings very much, but he would never indiscriminately kill innocent people!"
On the scene, there were almost no clues, except for a faint scent that belonged to his brother, Wulipa.
Based solely on this, it cannot be proven that this person was killed by the elder brother! There must be other evidence... Tomorrow, I will go to a few more crime scenes to take a look!
However, this time, it's not completely fruitless. At the very least, I now know that my older brother is nearby. As long as I search carefully, I will definitely be able to find him!
Wu Licha happily returned to the Gu family's residence.
However, as soon as he opened the door, the stimulating smell in the room made him sneeze several times in a row!
"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"
"...What's that smell... Ah-choo!"
Tears and snot came out, the irritating spicy taste made Wuli Chacha very uncomfortable.
The bed is empty, and there is no one in the covers.
Where did Gu Mingshen go?
He was just about to leave the house and go downstairs to look for it when suddenly he heard a noise coming from inside the room. He listened carefully and realized that the sound... was coming from under the bed!
"...Gu Mingshen? Are you there..."
Wu Licha lifted the bedsheet and lay down on the ground. Sure enough, Gu Mingshen was lying unconscious under the bed. Beside him, there was a large bottle of alcohol!
"Why are you sleeping under the bed? What is this... Xingxing liquor... I remember, this is a very good drink on Earth... oh-!"
With a prolonged tone, Wū Lìcháchá seemed to have suddenly realized something. He dragged Gu Mingshen out from under the bed and angrily accused the still-sleeping man, saying, "You stingy earth monkey! I've never seen you drink such a good thing like Er Guo Tou when I'm at home! As soon as I leave, you immediately start sneaking drinks! Hmph... I want to drink too!"
He felt angry in his heart, feeling that he was not important at all in Gu Mingshen's heart, because Gu Mingshen had good things but didn't share them with him. This understanding made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Sitting on the ground, Wu Licha tightly grasped the bottle of liquor and unscrewed it. With a resentful expression, he forcefully took a big gulp and swallowed it down!
"...Ahem, ahem, ahem... so spicy, so spicy, so spicy!!! It's too spicy, it's too spicy, it's too spicy for the fish! Ah!!! Ahem, ahem, ahem... it hurts, it hurts so much."
Tears were even forced out. This wine is just too strong. The stomach also feels scorched and uncomfortable. She clutched her stomach tightly, biting her lip from the pain.
At the same time, something even more surprising happened to him.
His legs, slowly, turned into a fish tail!
His body was shimmering with an icy blue glow. As he reached out his hand to examine it, indeed, his skin had also turned blue!
He...he has turned back into a mermaid?!
