Lu Chihuan looked confused.
Then he blinked in confusion, as if he didn't understand what the mermaid in front of him meant. So he turned his eyes for help to Stuka Lumin and the Crown Prince standing in front of him, trying to get an explanation from them.
After hearing the merman's identification, Stuka Lumin's face turned a little ugly.
Because of a series of chain reactions caused by removing the tail nail that night, he and Lu Chihuan had not seen each other for several days. To be precise, he was avoiding Lu Chihuan because he was embarrassed.
He imagined what expression he would have when he met Lu Chihuan again.
Or say something.
However, he never expected that the reason he took the initiative to find Lu Chihuan this time was because of the assault case in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions.
But he didn't believe that Lu Chihuan was the kind of person who would do such a thing.
So at this time, he did not treat Lu Chihuan coldly. Instead, he lowered his voice and explained, "Some time ago, several mermaids were attacked by strangers outside when they returned home in the middle of the night, but the murderer was very cautious."
"There were no clues left, so we have never been able to find out who the murderer is."
Lu Chihuan was stunned when he heard this.
He had heard about this incident from the mermaid servants before, but he didn't expect that the murderer had not been caught yet.
I didn't expect——
This matter actually has something to do with me.
What the hell does this happen?
Before he could figure this out, Stuka Lumen's solemn voice rang out again, "Until today."
"We rescued another victim, the mermaid you see in front of you. He told us that when he was attacked, he saw clearly what the murderer looked like."
"We tried to get him to describe you to the portrait artist, but we found that the portrait the artist drew based on his description was about 70% similar to you, so we brought him here to confirm it."
They did not make this matter public.
This time, when I brought this mermaid here to confirm, I only brought a few familiar people with me.
To know.
Originally, the mermaids were quite xenophobic.
The reason why Lu Chihuan was able to stay in the mermaid tribe was because Stuka Lumen went against all odds. Once Lu Chihuan became a suspect in this incident, the voice to expel Lu Chihuan from Stuhai would come like a surging wave.
Lu Chihuan did not get angry after listening to Stuka Lumen's explanation.
Instead, his expression was very calm.
After a brief thought, he pointed out two loopholes. "First, even if he looks very similar to me, he may not be me. After all, using the transformation stickers can change the face and bones. It is possible that someone pretended to be me and planned these attacks."
"second."
"During this period of time, I did not leave the palace. The servants and guards guarding the door and the surveillance equipment installed nearby can all testify to this. Moreover, I have no motive to hurt anyone."
He understands.
He was involved in this case of attacking the mermaid, so he had to cooperate with the investigation now. However, cooperation was one thing, and he had to make his attitude clear first.
Otherwise, the mermaid who was pointing out his identity might think that he was guilty.
After hearing what Lu Chihuan said, the eldest prince nodded seriously and said, "What you said makes sense. The transformation sticker can indeed make it easy for someone to pretend to be someone else. I just don't know why that person chose to pretend to be you."
"Could it be that he has some grudge against you? Mr. Lu, have you ever offended anyone before?"
Lu Chihuan thought about it.
The image of Ah Huai and the two robed men beside him suddenly popped up in my mind.
Judging from Ah Huai and his friends’ performance last time, they seemed to be also looking for objects containing energy. In this case, Lu Chihuan would be a strong competitor to them.
If they were to do something shady...
Not surprising.
He hesitated for a moment and was just about to express his guess.
However, the merman with a bandage on his head seemed to be incredulous at the eldest prince's friendly expression, and his eyes widened.
Transformation stickers are controlled items.
Ordinary people can't touch it at all, so this mermaid doesn't believe it either -
There are things in this world that can change a person's appearance, body shape and voice. In his eyes, what the eldest prince said just now was just to excuse Lu Chihuan.
He asked indignantly, "Prince, do you really believe what he said?"
"What if he is just a liar? You can't believe everything he says. I can see it clearly with my own eyes. He is the one who hurt me. If he is not the murderer... I can't be lying..."
Stuka Lumen frowned.
He asked his adjutant to fetch the surveillance video from the palace, and then played it on the screen. He then pulled up the timeline and said, "Look for yourself. During the time you were in trouble, he stayed in the palace the entire time and didn't go out."
"The servant outside the door can also testify. He has a sufficient alibi."
The merman stared at the footage on the surveillance video, his face turning pale and blue for a moment, as if he couldn't accept the reality. "How is this possible... I clearly saw him..."
"Could it be that the so-called transformation stickers really exist, or that I was actually dazzled when I was attacked..."
He seemed a little confused.
It was Stuka Lumen's voice that drew his attention back.
Stuka Lumin's voice was calm and low, without the affectionate look he had when he was talking to Lu Chihuan. "Even though I am the emperor of Stuhai, I cannot use my power to arrest an ordinary human being without evidence."
Followed by.
He calmly comforted her again, "But don't worry, I will find the real murderer and make him pay the price he deserves."
The mermaid nodded silently.
"it is good."
"Then I'll go back and think about it and see if I can remember any other clues that might help."
After he calmed down.
When he looked at Lu Chihuan who was sitting next to him, although he felt a little embarrassed, he still forced himself to apologize to him, "Sorry."
"I misunderstood you just now."
Lu Chihuan shook his head gently.
He indicated that he didn't care about what the mermaid had just said. After the other party and Stuka Lumin's adjutant left the palace, he brought up what he had not finished saying.
"Do you know that there is a so-called kingdom of God in the universe? They believe in a god who came from nowhere and have built many temples for it. They believe in the so-called oracle without a doubt."
"And what they call a divine messenger is the incarnation of this god walking on earth, responsible for carrying out the other party's will and bestowing blessings."
Stuka Lumen closed the door.
He folded his arms and leaned against the door frame. When he heard this, a hint of disgust appeared on his face. He said mercilessly, "I never believe in so-called supernatural things."
"in my opinion."
"They are just scammers who disguise themselves as gods and exploit people's fear and regret to squeeze their money. I don't think there is any need to trust them."
The eldest prince's emotions were not as intense as Stuka Lumen's. He spoke solemnly, "I have also heard of this god you mentioned. We even met once before."
"what!"
Stuka Lumin heard this.
Suddenly, he couldn't hold back any more, "Why have I never heard you say that before?"
The eldest prince gave Stuka Lumin a calming look, and then explained in a gentle voice, "It was actually our university that organized us to go on a study tour to other small planets. During this process, I met the envoy of God once."
“But the other party didn’t know me.”
"At the time, I inquired about this envoy of God out of curiosity, and found out that according to other people, this envoy of God's eyes seemed to have some special features, and could see the trajectory of a person's fate and predict what would happen in the future."
Stuka Lumen curled the corners of his lips.
"It may be just a lie made up to build momentum for themselves and to attract more people to believe in that so-called god."
But the eldest prince shook his head.
He said very firmly, "That's true."
Stuka Lumin keenly sensed that something was wrong, and his crimson eyes narrowed unconsciously, "Why do you think that's true, brother? Did you see with your own eyes that he used those eyes to predict the fate of others?"
The eldest prince sighed.
Then he nodded and said, "I saw him tell a man that he would die at the hands of his own son. No one believed him at the time because the man had a harmonious family and the relationship between his father and son was quite good."
"Everyone thought that this messenger was just speaking casually."
"But after I returned to Stuhai, my former university classmates told me that the man had cheated on me a few years later and had an affair with his first love."
"That man not only had an illegitimate child, but he also used up all his salary to support his little family outside. He even beat and scolded his wife and their son, and his son became more and more gloomy."
"One time he couldn't pay his tuition."
"When he asked the man for money, he was scolded by him instead. In a fit of rage, he killed him with a fruit knife on the table. This incident caused quite a stir."
"you say--"
"Is the prophecy of this angel accurate or not?"
Hearing this, Stuka Lumin was at a loss for words for a moment.
The eldest prince smiled bitterly upon seeing this. In fact, he was hiding something from Stuka Lumen. For example, although he had only met the envoy of God once, that one encounter actually allowed the other party to predict the trajectory of his destiny.
The other party told him that he and Chu Yang would inevitably be separated for more than ten years.
The eldest prince at that time naturally didn't believe it.
He thought that what the envoy said was just nonsense. Not only did he not take it to heart, he even made an agreement with Chu Yang that he would bring her back to Stuhai after graduation.
however.
He had not even graduated yet when he received news from his father.
The other party ordered him not to complete his studies in the human world and to return to Stuhai as soon as possible. Even though he argued with reason, his father still did not change his decision. Instead, he exposed his feelings for Chu Yang to the other party.
Finally as a last resort.
He left the human world and returned to Stuhai. It was then that the eldest prince belatedly remembered the fate predicted by the messenger of God and believed it involuntarily.
even.
He sincerely hoped that this could be changed.
Therefore, after returning to Stuhai, the eldest prince worked even harder. He slept only three or four hours a day and relied on energy potions to stay awake on weekdays. Due to his irregular meals, he had some minor stomach problems, but he didn't care.
He only thought about -
If the predicted fate was true, more than ten years would be too much for Chu Yang. He wanted to complete the goal set by his father and shorten the time they were apart.
However, the trajectory of fate seems to be unchangeable, and the accident comes earlier.
He fell into a coma due to an accident and did not open his eyes until more than ten years later with the help of Lu Chihuan. The time was exactly the same as the prediction of the oracle, which was enough to prove that the prophecy left by the other party was not a mystery.
"Mr. Lu."
The eldest prince suppressed his worries a little, and looked up at Lu Chihuan gently, "You mentioned this kingdom of God and their envoys, are you trying to tell us..."
"You have offended him before, so it is possible that he did it this time."
Lu Chihuan had no intention of hiding anything.
"What they want to collect is the same as mine, so there is a conflict of interest. I have met Ah Huai... this divine messenger several times before, and he deceived me."
"We've fought each other before, so I suspect they came to Stuhai this time to muddy the waters there first, and then show up to snatch that thing away when we have no time to take care of other things."
Two dogs fight, play off.
When they were fighting with Campbell Dion before, Ah Huai also intervened and took the seal away.
After the eldest prince knew that the murderer was most likely the so-called divine messenger, his expression did not relax, but became even more tense. "Mr. Lu, allow me to ask a question."
"What exactly is that thing you are fighting for? Is it so important to you that it is worth you spending so much energy on it?"
He hasn't forgotten yet.
It seemed that Lu Chihuan came here from a parallel universe just for this thing.
Stuka Lumin was obviously very curious about the answer. He raised his eyebrows at Lu Chihuan, a hint of interest flashing in his deep red eyes. He was now waiting for him to speak leisurely.
Lu Chihuan pondered for a moment.
Decided to reveal some of the information to Stuka Lumin and the Crown Prince.
"Look at this."
talking.
He took out the stern nail of the Stuka Lumin from the sachet in his arms. The color of the anchor-shaped stern nail was a little darker, but it still could not conceal its original beauty.
Stuka Lumen choked suddenly.
He hurried over and tried to press Lu Chihuan's hand down, his cheeks and earlobes slightly reddened, looking embarrassed and ashamed, "Why did you take this thing out?"
To use a bad metaphor.
To him, this thing is like a virgin's bellyband. Once it is taken out, everyone will know that they are having an affair.
He knew that Lu Chihuan wanted to show off their good relationship, but his elder brother was still here.
The timing is really bad.
