Be a mermaid after 1000 years

Just as the Duke got off the plane, he received a call from Butler Chardi. The tone of the old butler, who has always paid attention to etiquette and kept his identity, was unexpectedly flustered. A similar situation happened once three years ago. I remember that he had just After finishing a two-month closed training, when he received a call from the castle, he thought it was from Teresa, who missed him, but he didn't expect such news, and he was stupid on the spot. This time, Chardy Said: "Something has happened, my lord, the lady is missing."

It was missing, not dead. Blanche felt a dull pain in his chest, and finally let out a breath he held for a long time. He thought to himself, as long as he didn't die, everything could be redeemed.

"What's going on?" The Duke hurried home and asked why. The police chief of Ankad had already been waiting at the Duke's mansion before him. The police chief was named Bernie Cecil, who was born in a noble family, but He himself was not knighted, and his cousin was the chief of the court's guards and inherited the title of earl.

"Your Excellency." The director got up and bowed, and replied: "Let your servants explain what happened before Madam disappeared."

Didi was sobbing and sobbing, and the job of explaining was handed over to Brian. Although the young coachman didn't talk much, he was very clear, and he explained the whole thing clearly in just two or three minutes. Nothing complicated.

"Have you contacted him on your mobile phone?" Blanche asked.

Brian looked at Didi, and Didi blushed and said in a low voice, "Young Master also had a spare mobile phone, but it has been left unused all the time. After it broke last year, Master didn't give you money to buy a new one."

"My lord, this is all my fault. I was negligent at work." Xia Erdi bowed, her old face was full of self-blame and guilt.

Blanche waved his hand and said impatiently: "It's useless to pursue these things now, has anyone called to ask for a ransom?"

He couldn't blame the old housekeeper. If it was negligence, it was himself. Since Zoe Ives married into Hernand's family, he has been trying to ignore this little mermaid, perhaps subconsciously revealed Be wary of the hostility, although it sounds good in front of Xiulan, saying that it will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a husband, but in fact treating his wife is like treating a valuable commodity bought, as long as he is intact Everything else is unimportant. For this boy who was abandoned by his greedy father when he was underage, he was stingy with giving a little warmth. After going out for more than half a month, he didn't even say goodbye to Zoe. Now Even his minimum personal safety could not be guaranteed. Blanche thought that he would not care too much, because the two of them were just a couple in name, without the slightest affection, but the actual situation was often out of people's control. Since he got this news, he has been suppressed all the time, his heart seems to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it is extremely uncomfortable. Blanche found that he could hardly concentrate.

The police chief shook his head and said: "As soon as I received Mr. Shardi's call to the police, I arranged for people to wait here, and there was no suspicious call. According to the information we have later, it is just like what your servant said. As stated, this is not a premeditated and planned kidnapping for ransom, but a temporary hijacking. We optimistically speculate that the situation is not the worst, and the life of the Duchess will not be threatened for the time being, my lord There's no need to worry too much..."

"Bernie, get to the point! I don't need you to do my psychological counseling." Blanche interrupted the director's speech, and he stared at him with a look of hesitation, "My servant mentioned a man with gray eyes, I guess I'm afraid this is not just a personal behavior, who did it? Don't tell me that you have no clue at all!"

Being stared at by such sharp eyes for a long time, the police chief felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. The Duchess was kidnapped in his jurisdiction. Bernie Cecil could fully predict the possible consequences if this matter was not handled properly. At that time, I am afraid that his cousin did not dare to intercede for him. He can actually understand Duke Hernand's anger. Who said that this rich and powerful adult is unlucky? Two consecutive wives are not reassuring. , the director expressed deep sympathy while rejoicing that he was not married yet.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead, and replied: "Yes, my lord, you are really wise. The gray-eyed man mentioned just now is nicknamed Gray Wolf, and he is the little leader of a mermaid trafficking organization. In fact, this is no longer This is the first time, since last year, there have been many incidents of mermaid abduction and disappearance all over the planet, most of the victims are civilian children, and there are also a small number of teenagers, Madam should be involved in a new case."

"Since you already knew it, why didn't you take action? I pay so much tax every year just to keep you fat and strong?" Blanche slapped the desk angrily.

The police chief's chin trembled, and he carefully sucked back a little bit of his big belly. This is really unfair. He has been fat since he was a child, and he didn't gain weight after he became the chief.

Bernie explained with difficulty: "This group of mermaid traders is erratic and very cunning. They often shoot and change places, and travel around the world. The most important thing is that apart from Gray Wolf and his men, the only known name of this group is Night Owl. , As for how many members it has and who is the leader behind it, we have not found out, so the high-level meeting decided to hold back for the time being, hoping to follow the vines and catch them all. In Qinghu Province, this group of people disappeared for a period of time, and it took about two days for us to arrive in Ankad City. The police did not expect them to be so bold and ran to the capital to commit crimes, so they were caught off guard..."

Chief Cecil was sweating profusely. The more he explained this matter, the more he was not good for him. Fortunately, His Majesty the Duke did not listen to his reasons. He looked at his watch and asked Brian, "How long has it been since Madam disappeared?" gone?"

"Not two hours, my lord."

Blanche picked up the phone, briefly gave a few instructions, and after hanging up, he asked the police chief: "Bernie, you won't just prepare this set of lines to deal with me in these two hours? Or is it yours?" There's only so much stuff in my belly!"

The director breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "Where, my lord, I have immediately arranged for the police to block all the crossings in and out of Ankad City, and the vehicles passing by must undergo strict inspection before they can be released."

"What name did you confess? Duchess Hernand was abducted by traffickers?"

The director thought to himself, am I so stupid?But he still replied with a good temper: "No, it's in the name of searching for smuggled illegal drugs." If those guys know that the duchess is kidnapped, no one can guarantee whether they will do something in a hurry. Overreaction.

"Very well, Bernie, if you are smart enough to persist until the end, I might give up pursuing this matter. I heard that you have been dissatisfied with the old decoration of your office and want to rebuild a new police station building. Then we can figure it out together.”

How did the duke know about this?He doesn't seem to have complained to a few people. At this moment, Director Cecil dares to think about the benefits promised by the Duke. As long as the big man doesn't pursue it, he will be thankful. Taking advantage of the Duke's tone, the director hurriedly stated with a smile own current difficulties.

"My lord, you know that the police has always been short of manpower. Ankad City covers a large area, with complex terrain, many mountains and rivers, and manpower needs to be dispatched from other provinces and cities in a short period of time, not to mention whether there is any problem with coordination. , I am worried that the news will leak out, after all, I am just a small city bureau chief with limited powers."

"You don't have to worry about this. I have sent people to reinforce you just now, and now provide me with all the information the police have."

It would be the best if the Duke could personally participate in this operation. The police chief’s previous excitement has finally subsided a little. Er was still somewhat curious, how did the Duchess see that Gray Wolf and his group were abnormal?

Coincidentally, Gray Wolf was also asking Li Miaowei the same question. Because of his obedient cooperation along the way, several human traffickers at least did not tie him up like Morris did, and did not stuff his mouth with smelly socks, but these Man was not negligent, he still couldn't find a chance to do something, at first he wanted to win the sympathy of the red-haired mermaid, at least they were of the same kind, why bother to kill each other.Unexpectedly, not long after getting in the car, this Mr. Clare took off the wig. He turned out to be a young brown-haired Mortan with a gentle appearance and a slender frame. He can almost be fake.

Li Miaowei pretended to hide his tears and secretly noticed the two little mermaids lying on the back seat of the car. The two mermaids were a boy and a girl. Ocean Mermaid, he was very worried, these two children were still in a coma, not only that, but under Li Miaowei's deliberate effort, he felt the undisguised pain passed by these two children, he had a splitting headache, and panicked , I wanted to cry, I wanted to find my mother, but I couldn’t speak out, my tongue became numb, and my mind began to become chaotic. Affected by these two external emotions, Li Miaowei’s consciousness was a little unclear, and she pretended to cry. Real fear and sadness, so scared and uncomfortable, who can help him, his face is pale and his eyes are empty, as if possessed by two children.

"What's the matter with him?" Hodge felt that something was wrong. When he said this, everyone except the tall and thin man who drove the car focused on Li Miaowei. Morris looked concerned, but couldn't move.

"I don't know, it was fine just now."

Gray Wolf stretched out his hand and pushed him, and Li Miaowei instantly recovered from his stupor. He took a deep breath, tears trickled down from his eyes, his bewildered eyes wandered in mid-air for a while, and stopped. It stayed on the fish-shaped scar on the palm of his hand. After a long time, Li Miaowei's ups and downs of emotions gradually stabilized, and his complexion returned to rosy.

"Damn it, it turned out to be crying." Beiman spat a mouthful of thick phlegm out of the window, and said disdainfully: "The mermaid nobles are really a bunch of waste."

"Beman, close the window!" Gray Wolf reprimanded his subordinates, and then continued the topic just now, "You haven't answered my question yet, why did you want to follow me and Harold?" Gray Wolf didn't think his behavior was very serious. High profile, never suspected before.

"Following?" Li Miaowei flinched, and said in a low voice, "At first I just thought your child was sick, and I was afraid that you would delay the illness, so I wanted to catch up and take a look."

"Oh?" Gray Wolf was skeptical, and said with a sinister smile: "It seems that we have had good luck today, hehe, I didn't expect a mermaid noble to have such kindness."

Except for Claire, everyone else seemed to have heard a big joke, except that young man was always cold and never even looked at Li Miaowei. Gray Wolf seemed to be a little afraid of him.

Halfway through the truck, Gray Wolf asked Harold to stop the car at the entrance of a remote private supermarket, and ordered Beiman and another big man named Ula to get off the car to purchase some supplies. Beiman was very strange and asked: "Boss, what I bought enough things yesterday and put them in the residence, we only stay for a few days, so we don’t need so much.”

"We're not going back, we're leaving Ankad City today."

"Ah, why? Didn't you say that you will stay for a while? There will be a few performances by the ghost song and dance troupe next week. At that time, there will definitely be a large number of audiences and star fans from other provinces and cities flocking to Ankad City. We can definitely Take advantage of the excitement and make another big vote." Beiman said excitedly, they have done such things as fishing in troubled waters several times.

Gray Wolf's expression is a bit dignified. He has been on the sidelines for so many years, and he still has a strong sense of vigilance. Last time he was in Daqinghu Province, he felt like he was being watched, otherwise he would not be silent for several months. Now This feeling got stronger, maybe he shouldn't take the risk of coming to Ankad City.

Thinking of this, Gray Wolf pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and said: "No need, we have him." He grabbed Li Miaowei, "This noble gentleman can be worth dozens of little mermaids, this time I will find a generous buyer, such as the lion-masked man from Planet Gamma, and in that case, we can take a vacation for a whole year."

Li Miaowei was taken aback, damn it!It's fine to sell him, but it's too cruel to sell him to an alien planet. Lion-masked people don't have the same attributes as cats, they also eat fish, right?

Beman didn't know what to think of, and he smiled lewdly, and responded readily: "Okay, boss, I'll go right away."

Morris suddenly hummed at this moment. Li Miaowei saw two pedestrians passing by the car window. Claire decisively punched Morris and knocked him out. This young man looks gentle, but acts very ruthlessly.

The others didn't even blink, Hodge asked Gray Wolf: "Are the three mermaids okay? I think the big one can hold on, but the two small ones don't seem to be in good condition."

"Don't worry, when we get out of Ankad, we'll find a hotel and throw them in the bathtub for a night. There won't be any problems. As for the Motan who got in the way, we'll find a chance to get rid of him." !"

Just when Beman and Ula were about to get off the car, Claire suddenly said, "Ula and I will go, I've finished my chewing gum, and I just want to buy two boxes to take with me." He got out of the car directly, and Ula quickly followed him.

After he left, Beman spat hard and cursed: "What! Boss, I don't think he takes you seriously."

Gray Wolf didn't speak, and his iron-gray eyes looked extremely cold, but Hodge replied indifferently: "Claire is the boss's confidant, everyone has to give some face, so you don't want to make trouble for nothing."

"So what!" Beman was not convinced, and retorted: "When the boss came out to mess around, he was still in his fucking asshole, hey, I said, why did the boss send him to follow us this time? Did the boss see that? The accounts we handed in are incorrect, do you suspect that someone has tampered with them secretly?"

Gray Wolf glanced at Li Miaowei and Morris, stopped Beman and continued.

After a while, the two shoppers came back. Although Claire didn't seem to like to talk to people, he was actually kind. He gave everyone a pack of cigarettes as soon as he got in the car. He didn't smoke himself. Come on, the tense atmosphere before has eased a lot.

The truck continued on the road, and not long after leaving the urban area, it was blocked on the intercity highway. Looking at the long line of traffic ahead, Gray Wolf frowned and muttered, "What's going on? It's so blocked!"

Before he gave an order, Hodge got out of the car to inquire about the news. He walked straight ahead, and from time to time he would see a few vehicles that turned back because they were impatiently waiting for a long time. Two drivers parked their cars on the side of the road and approached Chatting on the hood of the car, Hodge walked over and handed each of them a cigarette.

"No smoking, no smoking, my wife told me to quit smoking." The two declined together.

Hodge put away his cigarette and asked, "Brother, what happened? It's blocked like this? I'm still in a hurry to drink wedding wine!"

"Who would go out of the city to wander around without incident? I'm going to a neighboring province to pick up my wife and go home. I heard that the police are investigating illegal drugs. There's nothing I can do. Just wait."

"Illegal drugs? Have you checked carefully?"

"You can tell by looking at the long queue. I just heard that even the child's milk powder cans have to be opened for inspection."

"Is that so..."

Hodge left quietly. No one cared about this passerby's face. He asked a few other people and got the same answer before returning to the car.

Gray Wolf felt a little restless, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Harold, do you remember a little road we used to walk?"

The tall and thin man nodded, and replied: "Remember, but if we go that way, we have to abandon the car if we have to go down and change boats halfway."

"Just go that way, the car can be found again, and we must leave Ankad City today!"

The others sensed a trace of uneasiness from Gray Wolf's tone, and the carriage quickly fell silent. No one asked any extra questions, but quietly followed Gray Wolf's instructions.

Li Miaowei accompanied this group of people on the mountain road for more than half an hour, almost shaking his intestines out. When he came to a small ferry that was rarely visited by people, he found that the ferry had been temporarily closed.

"Boss, what should we do? Something is wrong." Beman, who was as slow as he was, also noticed something abnormal.

"Go back to the residence first!"

At this time, Blanche was leading people to investigate suspicious vehicles passing by Sever Avenue, shopping street and several nearby traffic arteries at noon.

"Damn it, that gray wolf is really cunning. The site was updating its equipment at the time, and the monitoring didn't resume normal work until 15 minutes after the Duchess disappeared. If it weren't for the transformation pill left by the lady, it would be difficult to find that they had been there. "

"Expand your search within a 15-minute drive!"

Blanche stared at the video screen without blinking. His eyes hurt badly, but it was not as good as the panic in his heart. It had been more than two hours. The longer the time dragged on, the greater the danger to Zooey.

Li Miaowei did not expect that the residence that Gray Wolf mentioned was an abandoned factory. The dark and ruined walls seemed to have experienced a serious fire. He hadn’t seen many houses along the way. Hearing what these people said, this wonderful place It was provided by their boss, even Li Miaowei couldn't help but praise it, it's hidden enough!

Sigh~ I don't know if the lion mask people get along well, if they don't eat fish, everything is negotiable.

There is a hole in the factory. Gray Wolf grabbed him and walked through the rubble for a while, and came to a large workshop. It may have been very lively in the past, but now there are only a few decayed machine tools standing there alone. Gray Wolf is on the base of a machine tool. After fiddling with the ground for a while, there was a big black hole in the ground, and there was a tunnel hidden here.

Li Miaowei fumbled in his pocket, Gray Wolf turned around and grabbed him vigilantly, and asked sharply, "What are you hiding in your hand?"

Li Miaowei pursed his lips, spread out his five fingers, and there was a green pill lying in his palm.

"My transformation pill is about to take effect."

As if to prove what he said, the gray wolf didn't hold back, and Li Miaowei had already fallen to the ground. Due to the long-term lack of moisture in the water, the black fish tail was not as flashing as usual, and looked a little dim. In addition, the ground was full of weeds and gravel, and there were a few scratches on his fish tail, and one of the fish scales was loose. Now Li Miaowei didn't need to pretend to cry, it really hurts, just like Skinned.

Morris was already awake, humming and trying to rush over when he saw this situation, but was suppressed by Claire.

"I'm fine." Li Miaowei comforted him with red eyes.

"Okay, stop being so affectionate, hurry up and eat!" Gray Wolf was very angry, if he was not counting on Li Miaowei to sell it for a good price, he would have slapped him up.

Li Miaowei tried his best to procrastinate for a little more time, and waited for everyone else to enter the tunnel before he put on his shoes slowly. The gray wolf grabbed his collar and dragged him up from the ground, and the two finally entered the tunnel. A little bit of green powder was left where Li Miaowei stepped, but it was too inconspicuous in such a place.
