77. The mystery of death
"Y-What do you mean?" She was a little flustered, if Xuanyuan Yue knew that she could talk to the mermaid, what would it bring to Fino and herself?
"Xuanyuan Liu, I've already investigated the matter of your kidnapping here." Xuanyuan Yue said, "After checking the surveillance video, I found a rather interesting thing. You seem to be talking to this mermaid. β
"Haha, you must be mistaken." She laughed dryly and said.
"Mistaken?" Xuanyuan Yuexiang laughed as if he heard something funny, "You think I'm going to be mistaken?" β
"Isn't it? I was freezing to death, and I thought it was some kind of animation, how could I talk to her? Even if I'm talking, I'm talking to myself. "She found that she was pretty good at making up lies.
Xuanyuan Yue only looked at her with a smile, and he didn't know if he really believed her words. It's tiring to get along with such moody people! "Xiao Sui, it's a good thing to be talented, why do you want to hide it deliberately?" Xuanyuan Yue said.
"Talented? I'm sorry, but I'm not naturally interested in that kind of 'bread', and I'm afraid that if I eat it, I will have indigestion. "What "gifted"? Usually that kind of person's life is full of twists and turns, and she doesn't want to live that kind of life.
At this time, the door of the room opened again, and it was Xuanyuan Su who came in. "I brought Xuanyuan Liu."
Miss Ryu still looked arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat, wasting her beautiful eyes with the color of the deep sea in vain. "I don't think I've done anything wrong." Miss Ryu raised her chin, still insisting on this statement.
"First of all, I explained that Miss Shi Sui should be treated politely, and no one can be rude to her, right?" Xuanyuan Yue asked, holding his arms.
Miss Liu's expression froze, and then she raised her chin, "I said that, but I don't think she is qualified to treat us Xuanyuan family with courtesy." β
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at Xuanyuan Su, "Asu, what do you say?" β
Xuanyuan Su smiled faintly and said, "The patriarch said that Miss Shi Sui should be treated politely, and Miss Shi Sui is naturally qualified to make everyone in the Xuanyuan family treat him respectfully. β
Oh - whether she should be treated politely or tortured, it turned out to be just Xuanyuan Yue's words. She sneered in her heart and didn't say much.
"Do you understand? Do you need me to ask Asu to translate for you in English, Japanese, German, French and Chinese? Xuanyuan Yue asked with a friendly smile.
"I'm ......," Miss Ryu bit her lower lip and took a step back.
"Looks like there is no need for translation." Xuanyuan Yue sneered, "Since you understand, then I will directly announce your punishment." He paused, and then continued, "From now on, you will immediately remove the name of 'Xuanyuan Liu', and from tomorrow, you will go to the Sikou Hall to receive the punishment." β
Yes? Remove the name? What does that mean? Is it to make Miss Ryuk a black household without a hukou, or to cut off the relationship with Miss Ryuk? She scratched at her hair, confused.
"Patriarch, is she going to be dismissed from Sikong Hall?" Xuanyuan asked.
Xuanyuan Yue glanced at Miss Liu, whose face was pale, and said, "She is revealing the existence of mermaids at will without my permission, and you look at her temper, can she continue to hold the position of Sikong Tang?" Dismissal is inevitable, right? As he spoke, he approached the sink and stared at Fino with a meaningful smile.
"Understood." Xuanyuan Su nodded and said to Miss Liu, "Please." β
Miss Liu suddenly rushed towards Xuanyuan Yue and shouted, "You can't do this! I'm also going to finish my mother's research! I can apologize to this woman, and I will ask you to be respectful to her, and you will not dismiss me! β
A hint of disgust flashed in Xuanyuan Yue's eyes, and he pulled out the hand that was grabbed by Miss Liu, and said, "In addition to being disrespectful to Xiao Sui, you also colluded with the maid in a vain attempt to kill me - do you think you still have a position to beg for mercy?" β
By the way, there's also this thing. The maid did say that at the time, and she almost forgot it. Let's just say that Xuanyuan Yue won't teach Miss Liu a lesson just because she is angry for her!
Miss Liu's face turned red and white, and she pounced again, shouting, "This is a frame-up!" Who framed me!? β
"Framed?" Xuanyuan Yue took out a voice recorder and pressed the button, and the recording of the maid's confession that she was instructed by Miss Liu was played. After the recording was broadcast, Miss Liu's face was as white as window paper. "If this is a false accusation, you have time to find evidence to prove your innocence after your dismissal."
"No, I ......," Miss Ryu shook her head desperately.
"Asu, I want to continue talking to Xiao Sui quietly about what happened just now." Xuanyuan Yue said.
"yes, we're going out." Xuanyuan Su ignored Miss Liu's struggles and pulled her out.
The door was shut, and she was left in the room with Xuanyuan Yue and Fino again. "What just happened?" She asked uneasily. Xuanyuan Yue wouldn't use someone to blackmail her into talking to Fino, right?
"What's so scary about being different?" Xuanyuan Yue said with a smile, "I don't know how many people in the world want to be different and attract attention." β
"I don't think there's anything wrong with being ordinary." It's not easy to be different and high-profile? Now when you go naked on the street, you will immediately become a high-profile news figure.
A cold light flashed in Xuanyuan Yue's eyes, and he paused before saying, "This is not only to help me, but also to help humans learn more about living beings and the wider world, why don't you want to?" β
What's the matter with me? She pursed her lips, "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have the ability." "Besides, if this is a creature outside of human cognition, I don't agree with locking her in a sink like this." Can differences in living environment affect the habits and lifespan of organisms, so can this still be studied? β
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Xuanyuan Yue's mouth, and she could see that her heart was furious, "You have a point in saying that." β
You don't have to laugh like this if you make sense, right? It's terrifying.
"It's okay if you don't want to now, I can wait until the day when you want to help me." Xuanyuan Yue said with a smile.
Doesn't this guy understand her? She said that it was not that she was unwilling, but that she was incapable! She frowned, and was about to repeat it, but Xuanyuan Yue turned to look at Fino in the sink, his expression was flat, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The only thing she knew clearly was that Xuanyuan Yue was no longer going to listen to her. But Xuanyuan Yue did not continue to persuade, but offered to send her home. "You are indeed a peculiar person, you need not deny that." Xuanyuan patted her uninjured shoulder and said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive until now." β
"What do you mean?" Did something terrible happen to her that she didn't notice it?
"Do you remember how the person who had the 'Blood Merfolk' died before?" Xuanyuan Yue smiled and told her, "Those two people who committed suicide were actually killed, and someone gave them instructions to commit suicide at a certain time. β
"You ordered it?" She took a step back in fright.
"How is that possible?" Xuanyuan Yue smiled, "My order was to get the 'Blood Mermaid', but I didn't order to kill." β
"So, Miss Ryuk is making her own decisions?" That woman is really crazy! "Why didn't you report her? If you're not complicit. She glared at Xuanyuan.
"It's a shame I don't have proof." Xuanyuan Yue still had the same smile, "Even if I know the method." β
"How? What is it? She asked, "Can you tell me?" β
"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Xuanyuan Yue said, "To put it bluntly, it is hypnosis. By typing hints into the other person's subconscious, you can manipulate what the other person is doing when. However, this kind of deep hypnosis is not necessarily successful. β
"But haven't you already succeeded in killing two people?" She snorted coldly, no wonder Shi Fasheng's behavior was so strange that day. "Wait, wait." She finally reacted, "You mean that Miss Ryu also wanted to kill me in the same way, but it didn't work, so I'm a peculiar person, and this hypnotism is not 'necessarily successful'?" β
"Hehe, you're so smart, since you can draw inferences, you don't need me to waste my tongue." Xuanyuan Yue applauded, "Maybe you should say that you are the only one who made her fail, and no wonder she hates you so much, because all actions related to you are failures, and you are simply living evidence of her incompetence time and time again." β
She never felt that Miss Ryuk was so "capable". "I'm sorry about that." She snorted.
"There's nothing to apologize for." Xuanyuan Yue said, "I think you must be a person who has always been strong. β
Who's apologizing? She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I'm so glad I got my life back." "Do these people know what human life is?
"Anyway, I'm welcome to come back here in the future, and hopefully you'll have changed your mind by then to help me." Xuanyuan Yue said with a smile.
She looked at Xuanyuan Yue with a smile, thinking in her heart that she would tell Bai Qi and them about Fino's whereabouts as soon as possible.
*********
A few days later, she received a call from Meng Fan, saying that the police had determined that Tang Heng was mentally abnormal, and he also specially asked people to test Tang Heng's DNA, which was no different from ordinary people. She had guessed that Tang Heng was a fierce beast named "Qi Qi", perhaps created by some ancient super-civilization like a mermaid, rather than a creature that evolved naturally - it seems that she only guessed part of it correctly, "Qi Qi" was indeed created, but not through some kind of biotechnology or genetic engineering, but through the manipulation of thoughts, so that Tang Heng himself thought that he was not a human, but a man-eating beast, since it was a man-eating beast, then Tang Heng naturally took cannibalism for granted. What kind of thoughts does the Xuanyuan family keep looking at everything in this world?
"There's another strange thing." Meng Fan told her, "The suspect in the previous kidnapping case was obviously tested to be genetically different from humans, but now the report is gone." What those guys in the lab said must have been me wrong, hell! It's clear that they were mistaken, and now they want to fool the past! β
Female maids are inherently different from humans, and even their reproductive methods are very different from humans, so how can they not be detected? It seems that no one has investigated why their ears were cut off, and no one has confirmed the real reason for their murder, and of course, no one has investigated how they differ from humans. It feels like someone doesn't want these legendary creatures to be made public. Is it a fear that it will cause panic among the public?
In the afternoon of that day, a colleague in the Department of Public Information received news that a blue-eyed woman had committed suicide by jumping off a building in a downtown area, causing a serious traffic jam. The woman who committed suicide was a paleontologist who did not leave a suicide note and did not find out the motive for her suicide, and the police estimated that she was looking for a way to die because of excessive mental pressure.
"Miss Ryu......?" When she saw the picture of the deceased, she couldn't believe that Miss Ryu would commit suicide. Even if you are dismissed and removed, there is no need to die, right? She thought that Miss Ryu would run to her again in a rage, and scolded her for it. I didn't expect Miss Ryu to choose to end up with her own life. - Huh? Wait a minute, did Miss Ryu really commit suicide? She couldn't help but put a question mark in her heart. Xuanyuan Yue said that Miss Liu would hypnotize someone to commit suicide, but this does not mean that only Miss Liu can do it! She had a cold war, maybe Miss Liu was also killed by someone in the same way, and Miss Liu was already dead, and no mental examination, brain wave scan, etc., could check whether she had been hypnotized before she died.
"Spike, what's wrong with you? The face is weird. Xiao Mo walked over and asked.
"I just suddenly felt like I was ...... my life," she muttered. Xuanyuan Yue's meaningful eyes always followed her like a shadow, as if to tell her that she could live well only because of his mercy. Maybe one day she will jump from a high-rise building unconsciously, and no one will know that she doesn't want to die at all......
