Views:

After I quickly opened the doors of several rooms, I should have found Zhou Buyan's room, and the closet was full of famous brand clothes.

We were about the same size, but not the same height, and her clothes were a little too small for me, but it was better to have something than nothing. I picked out a loose sweater and a long skirt and put it on. It wasn't pretty, but it was warm enough.

I wrapped the thin blanket around me like a big shawl, and hurried out of the cabin.

In the cool sea breeze, dawn has already dawned in the east, and the sun is about to rise.

I couldn't help but took a deep breath, the long night was finally coming to an end

Suddenly, my body froze, and I stared at the front in a daze.

Whether it was on the big ship or the two assault boats, it seemed as if time had been frozen suddenly, and everyone suddenly fell into a deep sleep with a strange posture.

Old man Zhou was hanging on the railing of the boat, looking excited and joyful; Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan were hugging each other and smiling sweetly; Everyone's postures are different, but their expressions are all the same, and they are all smiling happily and intoxicated.

There were many people around, but there was no sound. The scene was very strange, but I knew very well that it was caused by Wu Julan, so I didn't feel frightened, but just felt very miraculous.

It should be the singing I heard dimly last night. It makes people fall asleep in their most beautiful memories and don't want to wake up.

I stared curiously at one of the crew members on deck, hesitating to poke him to see if he would suddenly wake up.

Wu Julan's voice came from behind, "Even if you push him down, he won't wake up."

I turned around in surprise.

Standing under the rising sun, Wu Julan smiled slightly at me, "In European folklore, the singing of mermaids is magical and can charm human souls. If it is explained by modern science, it may be regarded as a kind of advanced hypnosis. "

But we separated for a short while, but it seemed like reunion after a long time. I felt a little sore and hot, and threw myself into his arms.

Wu Julan hugged me and said, "When the sun rises, the mermaid's magic will disappear."

As soon as his words fell, as the bright sunlight shone on a person, I heard voices one after another, and people who had fallen asleep woke up one after another.

Their consciousness is still stuck in the thinking of arresting me and Wu Julan, shouting: "Where are they?"

"ah on deck"

"catch them"

Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan also woke up. They looked around and then at us with surprised and confused expressions.

Old man Zhou completely ignored everything because of his greed and madness. When he saw Wu Julan and me, he shouted excitedly: "Catch them, catch them!"

Wu Julan obediently raised her hands, expressing her full cooperation with them.

I glanced at Wu Julan, I didn't know what kind of trick he was playing, but I was sure that these people must be unlucky, so I obediently raised my hands.

When we were just escorted into the cabin, there was a sudden rumbling sound outside. Through the glass window, I saw a helicopter and a ship of the US Coast Guard. Wu Jingjing, Jiang Yisheng, and Let were all standing on the boat.

A soldier with live ammunition stood on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly in English: "We have received a report that your ship has hijacked American citizens. Now please put down your weapons and cooperate with the inspection. Repeat, put down your weapons and cooperate with the inspection."

I went to see Wu Julan suspiciously.

Wu Julan said: "I originally wanted to kill them, but you want to live in human society, and I don't want you to suffer mental distress because of my behavior. It's not worth it. We should use human rules to solve this matter."

No wonder let didn't show up all the time. I still wondered, no matter how slow she was, she should have arrived. It turned out that Wu Julan changed the plan and asked her to call the police, and then arrived in time.

Wu Julan smiled at me, I was wondering why he suddenly smiled so softly for no reason, and then my eyes darkened, and I passed out.

When I woke up again, I was already on the helicopter back to New York, but Wu Julan was not on the plane.

Wu Jingjing said that Wu Julan, as a victim, had to report the incident to the police and cooperate with the police investigation, so he and Let left with the police, and asked Wu Jingjing, Jiang Yisheng and me to come back first.

I asked depressedly: "Why did Wu Julan beat me unconscious?"

Wu Jingjing said in surprise, "Didn't those robbers beat me up? That's what the boss told the police."

The robber beat me clearly because he knocked me out, so I rubbed the back of my neck in confusion. I don't know how he beat me, but I didn't feel any pain. But why knock me out

Wu Jingjing thought for a while, then laughed, "The boss is really considerate and dark-hearted."

Jiang Yisheng comforted me and said, "Brother Wu is for your own good. It's best not to watch that scene. I, who is used to seeing corpses, can't stand it."

I asked: "what's wrong"

Wu Jingjing succinctly described what happened after I passed out.

In his old age, the old man Zhou still maintained the ferocity of a pirate. He was not afraid of the government's army at all, and even tried to resist. However, his subordinates were not as greedy or ruthless as him. Facing the overwhelming firepower of the regular army, the thugs hired by old man Zhou quickly surrendered.

Those who tried to resist were shot dead on the spot, including old man Zhou's confidants and old man Zhou.

Wu Julan and I were successfully rescued as victims.

sp; Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan were arrested.

Wu Jingjing told me that they will be prosecuted for kidnapping, coercion and attempted murder. The exact number of years depends on how the lawsuit is fought, but jail time is definitely inevitable.

When I heard that Zhou Buwen was going to jail, I felt very sad.

Jiang Yisheng said coldly: "Do you know how Zhou Buwen and the others found us? Zhou Buwen installed a tracking program on my phone. Fortunately, you and Brother Ang are safe and sound, otherwise, what should I do? Everyone's way He chose it all by himself, Zhou Buwen’s path was also chosen by him.”

I whispered, "Zhou Buwen is merciful."

Jiang Yisheng said: "I know, so Brother Wu also showed mercy to him. However, just because he didn't kill someone when he stabbed someone, you can't think that what he did can be forgiven."

I thought about it, but didn't say anything.

From the beginning to the present, people were almost killed several times, not only Jiang Yisheng's father and my father, but also Wu Julan. If Wu Julan hadn't happened to have a special physique, he would have died twice in Yingzui Cliff last time and in the sea this time.

Wu Jingjing said: "Xiao Luo, I can understand your feelings, but the boss has already seen you and Jiang Yisheng's face, so he is merciful, otherwise it would not only be old man Zhou who was shot dead on the spot."

I sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to be sad, but I won't beg Wu Julan to let Zhou Buwen go. I'll let the Witch Queen get rid of this bad breath."

Wu Jingjing patted my shoulder and muttered, "My grandma is going to die of anger, and I don't know how to teach me when I go back."

When we returned to the apartment, Wu Julan and Let had already returned.

Wu Jingjing asked in surprise, "Grandma, why are you faster than us?"

Let said: "We took a military plane and were escorted back by the police. Naturally, we were a little faster than you."

Wu Julan asked me: "How is your health?"

I pursed my lips and said, "It's okay with you."

Wu Julan said: "No problem, a little skin trauma just helps the police to collect evidence."

I was taken aback, he really knows how to draw materials on the spot

Let said to me: "The police will come later, and I need your cooperation to investigate."

"Oh well."

I suddenly remembered old man Zhou's last words, and my complexion changed suddenly.

let asked: "what's wrong"

I hesitated to speak, Wu Jingjing said to Jiang Yisheng: "Let's go back to the room first."

Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing left immediately.

I said worriedly: "Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan should know what Wu Julan is doing."

"So you are worried about this." Let's expression relaxed, and he laughed, "Zhou Buwen is a smart person, knowing that the motive of committing crimes and the depth of his involvement in the case will affect the final verdict. He has now pushed everything to Zhou The old man claimed that he and Zhou Buyan didn't know anything, but out of filial piety, he acted according to the old man Zhou's order, and never thought of endangering other people's lives. Don't worry, he won't talk nonsense. Zhou Buyan is well protected by him. Really don't know anything."

I said "but"

Let laughed and said: "Little Luo, subverting other people's beliefs is by no means an easy task. Every year there are thousands of videos on YouTube claiming that he saw a mermaid with his own eyes, and there are videos as proof, but who would believe it? It will be regarded as a fake. If this Mr. Zhou says that Regu is a mermaid, I can just ask a psychiatrist to evaluate his mental state and suggest that the prison give them compulsory medication and treatment."

I said: "Zhou Buwen got a map from the mirror in my house, it might be made by Jiaoxiao."

Let said indifferently: "That thing is now in our laboratory. Mr. Zhou will receive a satisfactory analysis report."

I'm relieved the only evidence that might exist is resolved

Old man Zhou and his confidants are gone, and the others don't know why old man Zhou arrested us. Zhou Buwen listened to old man Zhou's conjecture, and made his own inference, probably only half-believed. At that time, when he chased after Old Man Zhou, he probably had the attitude of verifying the truth. As a result, before I really saw Wu Julan clearly, I was hypnotized by Wu Julan's singing.

When he received the laboratory report of the map, there might still be no way to dispel his doubts, but he could only be half-doubted for the rest of his life. As Let said, even if he said that Regu is a mermaid, who would believe it

If I hadn't met Wu Julan, and suddenly someone came to tell me that a person with two legs who looked too normal to be a mermaid was a mermaid, I would have laughed dryly and backed away quietly, telling myself in my heart Don't provoke the lunatic, it's better to run away

Let hesitated for a moment and asked: "Regu, when we arrived, no one was injured. The action you took should be very gentle. You hypnotized them all with the singing of the mermaid."

Wu Julan stared at Let, and said lightly: "It seems that you have memorized all the knowledge taught by the elders."

"Thank you for your compliment." Let smiled stiffly, and said to me: "Then don't worry about it. Not all mermaids can use voice as a weapon. Regu is the strongest among mermaids, and he is full moon again. The singing of the night, all those who were hypnotized by the singing will have more and more confused memories of that night."

It turned out to be like this! At the same time I was completely relieved, I began to be a little curious about how Let let know so much about mermaids, and what is the relationship between their family and the mermaid tribe. I glanced at Wu Julan and thought that maybe I should find a chance to ask him. After all, from a certain point of view, Let and the others are now equivalent to my in-laws.
