Originally, she thought that Xiao Mo would accompany her to the beach, but-"I'm sorry, Xiaosui, I'm suddenly in a bit of a hurry, I can't go with you, you can find someone else!" Xiao Mo said, so she had to ask Gao Ming.

"Why do you think of me?" Meng Fan said with a stinky face.

"Because you're the only one I know!" She stammered. She didn't want the magazine to know that she had inherited the "blood mermaid" because she could hear the jewels talking, because she didn't want to be the material to be reported - a photographer who was not quite mentally healthy inherited the unique sapphire "blood mermaid" in the world - seemed quite sensational, so she didn't talk about what she could hide. And Meng Fan is a people's policeman, isn't it his job to protect the life and safety of her, the "people"?

"I'm sure I'm reliable!" Meng Fan said conceitedly, "I finally took turns off, why did I come to be your driver and bodyguard?" ”

She propped her chin and looked out the window and said, "Don't you want to know the inside story of Yang Hongxun and Shi Fasheng's deaths?" Some people say he can tell me a lot of things, and I thought you'd want to hear about it too. ”

"Didn't they commit suicide? What's the lowdown story? Meng Fan sneered.

"It's because I don't know that I want to check it." If someone spoke to her through that sapphire, would it prove that the "Blood Mermaid" was not a naturally occurring stone, but an artificially created communication device?

Meng Fan glanced at her and said, "I received news that Yang Hongxun will also share the inheritance to you after his death." ”

"Hmm." There's no need to hide it from him, he can find out anyway.

"I didn't expect that rich man to leave you an inheritance, it seems that he admires you very much." Meng Fan said with a "tsk".

She doesn't want to be appreciated by Yang Hongxun! "yes, I didn't expect that either." She smiled dryly and said that when she saw the scenery outside the window, she found that she seemed to have reached the beach she had seen, "Look, there it is." ”

They parked their car in the shade of a tree not far from the beach and carefully climbed the reef to the rocky beach by the sea below. Maybe it's because of the inaccessibility, the beach and the sea are very clean. The splashing waves were as cold as the cool dark blue, and the salty sea breeze came to the face, and the deep blue sea in the distance sparkled like the "blood mermaid". It can really only be called a rocky beach, because there is not a grain of sand in sight, it is a huge flat reef. But she could see it all at a glance, there was no one here, but it was indeed the scenery that had appeared in her mind.

"Hey, where are you talking about the insider?" Meng Fan asked in a calm voice.

"Well...... she wants to know! This was her glimpse of a cave in the rock wall beside the rocky beach, and the waves crashed against the reef at the entrance of the cave again and again, whistling into the hole. "There's a hole over there! Check it out! ”

Meng Fan stiffened his face and said, "I'm not here to accompany you for sightseeing and adventure!" ”

"It's all here, let's go and see!" Without waiting for Meng Fan, she took the lead in walking towards the stone cave. She was surprised to find a smooth path about half a meter wide under the stone wall on the right side of the cave, which extended straight into the dark depths of the cave. When he was thinking about how to solve the lighting problem, the front suddenly lit up, and when he looked back, it turned out that Meng Fan had lit up the penlight. "You still have a flashlight with you when you go out?" She asked curiously.

"I used to make it a habit so that I could find the prisoner no matter how he escaped to the cave cellar." Meng Fan replied.

is a police officer in hot pursuit, and the prisoner he is targeting is really unlucky. "Let's go in and see, as long as you come out before the tide rises, you should be fine." Unless there is a landslide, but looking at the structure of this cave, it should not happen.

"Hmm." Meng Fan nodded reluctantly.

The path doesn't look like a natural formation at all, it's so smooth that it can only be thought to be artificially excavated. But there are no people in the vicinity, so who could have built a path here that leads to the cave? And what's in the hole?

"Shh Meng Fan suddenly grabbed her, "Someone is coming!" As he spoke, he immediately extinguished the flashlight.

"Huh?" She also stopped, listened closely, and noticed that there was indeed a steady footstep coming from the depths of the cavern mixed with the sound of the waves.

Meng Fan pulled her behind her, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, she couldn't help grabbing Meng Fan's clothes, and said softly: "Listening to the footsteps, it seems to be a man." ”

"Don't make a sound." Meng Fan whispered.

The footsteps were getting closer, and she held her breath, wondering who would appear in front of her. Judging by the sound, the people who came were only about a dozen mills away from them. And eight, five, three...... It's coming!

Meng Fan suddenly turned on the flashlight and showed the person's appearance, the person was stabbed by the sudden bright light and took a step back, Meng Fan took the opportunity to stuff the flashlight into her hand, pounced on a neat grab, subdued the person, and asked in a voice: "Who are you?!" ”

The man didn't resist, but said lightly, "I should have asked you this, right?" It's the first time I've encountered such a special way of greeting. ”

"You're the one who just wants me to come here?" She asked tentatively.

"It's a good thing you're not the indiscriminate man." The man said, "Sir, may you please let it go?" I'm just here to pick up my guests. ”

Meng Fan looked at him, of course, his gaze was extremely unfriendly, and he let go of him after a few seconds. "I'm Meng Fan of the criminal police team. Who are you? Show your ID. Meng Fan took out his police ID and said to the man.

"Mr. Policeman, if I were a man with bad intentions, would I be able to get you caught in this kind of thing?" The man sighed amusedly, took out a driver's license from his pocket, and said, "My name is Bai Qi, and I am the owner of an aquarium shop. ”

"Aquarium? Where is it? "Didn't see it along the way.

"It's a small storefront, it's not surprising if you don't see it." Bai Qi smiled, "I usually entertain special guests to see special things. ”

Something special?

"You're selling protected wildlife?" Meng Fan immediately shouted, "You go back to the Public Security Bureau with me!" ”

"Nothing like that. Mr. Policeman, you are really overreacting. Bai Qi shook his head and turned to her, "Welcome, and thank you for coming." ”

She didn't answer, just looked at Bai Qi by the light of the flashlight. He was very gentle, and he felt harmless, but those eyes were as unfathomable as the deep sea in the distance.

"It turns out that you are the one who knows the inside story of Yang Hongxun and Shi Fasheng's suicide?" Meng Fan asked warily.

Bai Qi smiled slightly, that smile contained too many things for her to read. Bai Qi said: "I only find the guest I invited and tell her what she wants to know. But the visitor is a guest, and I can't lose the hospitality. Come in with me, both of you, my sister is waiting for the young lady inside. ”

"Your sister?" She asked curiously, "She also runs an aquarium with you?" ”

"Heh, she can't help much with running an aquarium shop." Bai Qi walked ahead and led the way.

"You didn't have a light on when you came out of it just now, can you see the way clearly?" She asked again.

"I don't need to see the road with my eyes." Bai Qi said lightly, "Come, be careful of the stairs." ”

What? Could it be that Bai Qi has practiced the kung fu of a blind man, and can listen to the voice and distinguish the position? She followed Bai Qi up about six stairs, and then kept going down, hey, it must be below sea level down here, right?

"Hey, where are you taking us, what are you going to do?" Meng Fan's tone was really not polite.

"Take this young lady to my sister." Bai Qi said softly.

"Listen to your tone as if you're talking about a lover." Meng Fan chirped.

Bai Qi was silent for a few seconds and said, "Because my sister is my only relative. ”

The only loved one? In this way, this is also the case with Tie Yirou and Tie Yiran. "What about parents and other relatives?" She asked.

"We didn't see my father, and my mother, in order to repay the kindness, sent my sister and me to my adoptive parents, who had no children and no daughters. Later, when our adoptive parents died, my mother came to pick us up, but when we were about to return to live with our mother, my mother was taken away and her whereabouts are still unknown. Bai Qi recounted flatly.

"Your mother was taken away? Isn't this kidnapping? What did the police find out? Meng Fan asked.

"No, I didn't call the police." Bai Qi's voice was a little cold.

"The reason is that you don't trust the police?" Meng Fan said dissatisfied.

"Not exactly." Bai Qi's voice was faintly smiling, "It's that the situation in my family can't be known to outsiders, and my mother also said that the police can't save her." ”

"What?" Meng Fan's displeasure was undisguised on his face.

"Come, please come in and meet my sister." Bai Qibi made a "please" gesture. Light came out of the cave next to Bai Qi, and she hesitated for a moment and walked inside. Inside was a smaller cavern resembling a room, with an emergency light lit. And the huge glass that appeared in front of her eyes, like the viewing aquarium corridor of an aquarium, as if she was under the sea. There were not schools of fish shuttling through the glass, but in the water, there was a young long-haired woman leaning on a reef on the other side of the glass, her upper body was exposed, her eyes were closed as if she was resting, and what shocked her the most was that the lower body of the woman in the tank was a long fish tail! "That'......" Is she dreaming? She was about to ask Bai Qi what was going on in front of her, but she saw Bai Qi knock Meng Fan unconscious when he was slack. "What are you doing?!"

"My sister is not for everyone." Bai Qi smiled, "Miss, you are a guest that my sister has found, of course, only you can see her." ”

She felt a sudden shock in her heart, if Bai Qi really wanted to be unfavorable to her, she would not be able to escape in this case. Swallowing her saliva, she tried to calm herself down and said, "You said your sister ...... In what place? "There's no one else here.

"She's in the sea behind you." Bai Qi said neatly.

In the sea? He, what does he mean...... She turned slowly, just in time for the woman on the other side of the glass who slowly opened her eyes.

- Hello, I'm Bai Fei.

The phrase came to her mind as the woman in the water smiled at her.
