"What a tragic love story. I even doubt whether you made it up." Li Minghao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile.

The old man sighed, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine: "Of course no one believes this matter now. After all, in their view, this story is too unreasonable. But before, our village

There is indeed a Temple of the Goddess of the Sea in the village. The statue in the temple is half human and half fish. Every time people in the village go to the sea, they go there to offer incense and worship. Those who go to sea all come back safely.

.”

"Since there is the Hai Niang Niang Temple, why didn't I see it when I came to the beach?" Li Minghao asked doubtfully. With that scale, the old man's words and the special file, he couldn't believe it in this world.

Are there really any mermaids?

The old man chuckled: "Of course a young man like you has no chance to see it. When I was a child, the Hai Niang Niang Temple was bombed by a plane, and our village was also bombed. Since then, we

So I went to live on the sea." The old man's eyes were a little lonely, and he was obviously still missing his previous village.

"So that's it. I'll go back and check the information. I'll have more food and wine for you today." With that, Li Minghao stood up and left.

But what the old man said next stopped him in his tracks: "The story is a story, but at the same time he also tells us not to be bound by emotions, because there are some things that you and I cannot predict, and the serious consequences will make you

I can't breathe."

Li Minghao turned around and said to the old man: "If you don't experience the seven emotions and six desires of the world, you can't truly achieve enlightenment. This is what my master and my senior brother told me. The experience during this period also told me that you must enter the world to practice. I don't know

What do you mean by this, but I have my own way, and I accept your suggestions."

The old man shook his head: "Since you said that, then that's it. When people say goodbye, they always need some gifts, but I don't have anything here, so I have to show you a good thing. Li Minghao, you

Look what that is." As he spoke, the old man pointed to the entrance of the cabin.

Li Minghao looked in the direction of the old man's finger, but didn't find anything. When he turned back to ask what the old man was trying to do, he was surprised to find that the old man had disappeared and the kerosene lamp had been turned off.

Frowning slightly, he walked slowly to the small table and looked down. He found that the table had been covered by a pile of green seaweed at some point. The plates, chopsticks, wine bowls and other things they had used to eat had also become torn.

Tattered.

Just when he was surprised, a fishy smell of sea came from the cabin. Smelling this smell, Li Minghao frowned, covered his nose and ran out.

When he came outside and saw the scene outside, he was dumbfounded.

The original small fishing boat turned into a large five-masted ship at some point. On both sides of the masts, there were two lights hanging on each side, shining with a faint green light. The ship was covered with various undersea creatures.

There were some fish jumping around on the deck, and they looked weird, like deep-sea fish. On the highest mast of the ship, there was a big yellow flag with a big clear letter written on it.

Li Minghao glanced at the thick fog on both sides, and then he realized that he was on a ghost ship. Who was the old man before, and how did he know his name?

But now this place and this scene is not the time to think about things. Li Minghao vaguely heard the footsteps coming from behind. The footsteps were not urgent, but they soon came to the cabin door and slowly stretched out their arms.

He took action and gently pushed the door open.

Li Minghao's eyelids jumped wildly. Because he went to a crowded place, he didn't take the Tang Dao. He tried summoning the Tang Dao once before, but he didn't even establish a connection. In other words, no matter who was behind this

He didn't have much power to fight back against anything, so if a good man doesn't suffer the immediate loss, the Thirty-Six Strategy is the best strategy. Before the door could open, Li Minghao jumped into the air on his tiptoes and accelerated into the air.

After Li Minghao left, the door was fully opened, and a long-haired middle-aged man wearing a yellow dragon robe slowly walked out of the cabin. He looked up at the sky, smacked his lips and said, "Oh, I'm scaring people away."

Already."

At this time, a man came out from behind. This man was wearing a red python robe. After he came out, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply to the man: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside. You'd better go back. If you get cold, then

I will blame myself."

"Go back." The man called His Majesty nodded slightly, turned around and returned to the cabin.

The man followed the man back to the cabin. After closing the door of the cabin, the whole ship began to sink slowly. It didn't take long for the big ship to sink into the sea. The surrounding thick fog also followed the big ship.

sinking and gradually dispersed.

Because Li Minghao was afraid, he increased his speed and flew upwards. After a while, he rushed through the clouds. The air here was relatively thin, and his cultivation was not enough, so he felt difficulty breathing after a while and quickly fell down.

When he returned under the clouds and looked down, the thick fog before had completely dissipated, and the ghost ship wrapped in the thick fog was gone. Li Minghao looked at the darkness in the distance and sighed.

He smacked his lips and thought the ship had sailed away. He never expected that the ship sank where it stood.

The boat was gone, and there was no need for Li Minghao to waste time here. He roughly found a direction and flew there based on the sense of direction he had when he came.

He was lucky this time and the direction was just right. After flying for more than half an hour, Li Minghao returned to the shore.

With his feet on the ground, Li Minghao's heart, which had been hanging, finally settled down. Just when he was about to leave to return to the hospital, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Liu Zhida. When he answered the call, Liu Zhida's anxious voice came from the other end: "Hey, Minghao, where is your kid? Why have I called you so many times and said

Are you not in the service area?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I went to sea and had dinner in the ghost ship. What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" Li Minghao said calmly.

"I have something to ask you...Hey, wait a minute, you said you went into the ghost ship. How did you get in? What was it like in the ship? Are there any ghosts?" Liu Zhida was about to say something.

Suddenly it came back to me.

Li Minghao chuckled: "I will explain this to you in detail when I get back, but you, calling me in such a panic, what happened?"

Liu Zhida sighed and said: "There are two things. The first thing is that my disguise has been seen through. The second thing is a bit big. Xiao Zhanqiang, the director of the Jianye branch, is dead."

Li Minghao frowned: "Xiao Zhanqiang died? When did this happen?" He originally said that he would interrogate Xiao Zhanqiang when he came back, but Xiao Zhanqiang died this time. This is a bit too coincidental.

"The autopsy report over there said that Xiao Zhanqiang died last night, not long after we left the underground laboratory. Another thing is that the day after Xiao Zhanqiang's death, there was one missing person in the laboratory.

person. As a result of the interrogation, it was found that that person was the chief of the laboratory.

I don’t know the name of the person in charge, but I know that he is secretly studying mermaids, which was also instructed by Xiao Zhanqiang. Now this person in charge is listed as the number one suspect and is wanted throughout the city." Liu Zhida turned around and glanced at the woman next to him

Still sleeping soundly, he spoke in a lower voice.

"Where are you now? I'll go find you right away." Li Minghao never thought that this matter would be beyond his control, so he immediately set off and flew to the hospital.

"I'm still in the branch now. I'll go out and wait for you at the door later." As he said that, Liu Zhida picked up the clothes thrown on the ground and walked to the door softly.

Li Minghao had a question mark on his face: "Aren't you exposed? Why are you still staying in the branch? Aren't you afraid that the people in the branch will tear you apart?"

Liu Zhida sighed softly: "It's hard to say anything. Let's wait until you come back."

"Okay, then you wait for me, I will be there in a few minutes." After Li Minghao hung up the phone, he quickly contacted Tang Dao and summoned him. The fake Liu Zhida who was hiding in the ward saw Tang Dao move.

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tang Dao, and together with him, he broke the window of the ward and flew out.

Li Minghao was almost flying to the branch. At this moment, he felt Tang Dao's breath rushing towards him quickly. He stopped and waited for Tang Dao. As Tang Dao got closer and closer, suddenly Li Minghao

Minghao saw a person following the Tang Dao. He squinted his eyes for a while and realized that it turned out to be Liu Zhida's replacement that he had made.

If they were going to collide, Li Minghao's final result would be to hit the building behind him. His eyelids twitched wildly, he pointed the ring on his finger at Liu Zhida's stand-in, and then infused some of his true energy into it.

I saw a blue light suddenly emitted from the ring, which happened to hit the body of Liu Zhida's stand-in. He did not struggle, but slowly released the hand holding the Tang Dao, and slowly approached under the guidance of the blue light.

Li Minghao also gradually became smaller, and finally became the size of a grain of sand, blending into the ring.

At the same time, the Tang Dao also came into the hands of Li Minghao. He hung the Tang Dao on his waist and accelerated towards the branch.

Ten seconds later, Li Minghao slowly landed at the door of the branch. At this time, the place was already surrounded by police cordons and people from the six doors. Li Minghao fell from the air. These people didn't even look at him.

.

After falling down, before he could walk into the branch, Liu Zhida ran out from inside, calling Li Minghao's name as he ran. Li Minghao looked back and saw how messy Liu Zhida's clothes were.

How messy, but these are secondary, the main thing is that he now appears in his true colors.

"Look at your clothes. Are you going to play again?" Seeing that everyone in the branch was indifferent, Li Minghao released his hand holding Tang Dao and asked with a smile.

Liu Zhida chuckled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was dragged to plow the land just now."

"It's interesting. Doesn't this have something to do with your identity being exposed?" Li Minghao took a look at Liu Zhida's face and found that he did seem to be lacking in energy.

Liu Zhida scratched his head and said: "It's unlucky to say that. Not long after we went back after the trouble yesterday, the people from the branch started to check people. As a result, something went wrong with me. Many people thought that person scared me.

Then a woman came in and said she wanted compensation, then she took off my clothes and all my disguise was revealed."

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu Fo is able to eat everywhere." Li Minghao chuckled and said, "Let's get down to business, where did Xiao Zhanqiang die?"

Liu Zhida sighed: "This guy is miserable. Nothing happened outside, but he died unexpectedly when he got home."

"Let's go and take a look at the scene." Li Minghao frowned slightly. The address of the person who spoke in the branch is generally S-class confidential. It stands to reason that no one would know his specific address, unless Xiao Zhanqiang personally brought the murderer back.

At home, the person in charge of the laboratory has something to do with it.

Liu Zhida seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Ah, why don't you go to the scene so late? Can't you go tomorrow? People from other branches have basically investigated one side, and even if we go there, we can't find anything valuable."

"Bargaining is useless." Li Minghao shook his head, grabbed Liu Zhida's back collar, jumped into the air on tiptoes, asked Xiao Zhanqiang's home address, and flew over quickly.

Li Minghao was in a bad mood now, so he went a little faster than usual. Although it was summer, he was still at high altitude, and his speed was still so fast. The cool breeze kept getting into Liu Zhida's clothes.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the door of Xiao Zhanqiang's house. As soon as they landed, Liu Zhida's stomach rumbled.

"What's going on? Are you hungry?" Li Minghao had Qi to protect his body when flying, so his stomach naturally wouldn't hurt. Hearing Liu Zhida's stomach sound, he thought he was hungry.

"I'm hungry, you big bastard, you Buddha, I am..." Before he could finish his words, Liu Zhida couldn't hold back and farted, and then his expression gradually hardened, before Li Minghao asked.

He, he rolled his eyes at Li Minghao, and then rushed into Xiao Zhanqiang's house.

When he walked into the room, he heard the sound of crackling water flowing down three thousand feet from the bathroom. Only then did Li Minghao know that Liu Zhida had caught a cold.

According to Liu Zhida's description, he went straight to Xiao Zhanqiang's bedroom, opened the wooden board next to the bed, and climbed down the wooden ladder.

This is a basement of fifty or sixty square meters, which is about the same size as the bedroom above. It is now empty, and most of the things have been taken away by people from the previous branch.

However, there was still some green liquid on the ground in the middle of the basement. It was probably overflowed from some kind of container when it was moved. Looking at the outline, there should have been a long cabinet here before.

He dipped his finger into a little green liquid and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look. The liquid should be the same thing as the liquid in the cylindrical container he saw in the underground laboratory of the branch. His previous judgment was correct.

The stuff is indeed something like nutrient solution. Once you put a small amount on it, you will feel an indescribable feeling of comfort all over your body.
