Chapter 006: Queen Bee!

Beiling City Public Security Bureau.

Looking at the photos found on the surveillance, a group of people were stunned, "What is this, a mermaid, a fairy tale?"

"Mermaid killing people?"

"What mermaid, it's just someone playing tricks."

"Director, there is another case that happened almost at the same time as the mermaid murder case, and there are two victims..."

"I've seen that one, and the initial speculation is that the murderer should be Wang Haonan."

"No... Captain, the surveillance did not capture anyone entering or leaving Wang Haonan's house. No one entered or left the entire apartment during that time..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, what about Wang Haonan?"

"He stayed in a coffee shop for three hours before coming out. During the time he stayed in the coffee shop, the two victims had already died."

"What?!"

"Tsk... one tricky case after another..."

Just then, a young man returned to the police station.

After seeing the young man, the director hurried over, "Yang Yan, are you busy?"

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, "Not busy."

"Then work overtime." The director said and threw him a document.

"No, I'm busy, Chief!" Yang Yan said quickly.

"Then work overtime." The chief looked at him and said.

"Then should I be busy or not?" Yang Yan's mouth twitched.

The chief turned his head and said, "If you don't know, work overtime."

Yang Yan: "..."

A bearded policeman threw him a photo, "Look at the photo, something big has happened again."

Yang Yan was stunned after taking the photo, "Is this... a mermaid?"

"Well, according to the information brought back by the on-site investigation team, the footprints in the corridor are similar to flippers, and there is a fishy smell."

"And there are also scattered fish scales on the victim's bed."

"Here is the initial speculation that the criminal may be deliberately disguising himself. He may be wearing a prop costume, and the fish scales may also be prepared in advance, with the purpose of confusing the audience and leaving misleading information."

"After all, how could there be a mermaid in this world?"

...

In a bar.

Wang Haonan and Yu Ren had two cocktails in front of them, but no one drank them.

"Your ability is impeccable." Yu Ren said.

Wang Haonan quietly lit a cigarette, "You too, it's the fish that did it, what does it have to do with people?"

The two of them smiled in tacit understanding.

The bartender listened to their conversation while wiping the cup.

"Do you smell anything, it seems like there is a smell of...fish?"

The mermaid picked up a bag after hearing this, "Fish newly bought from the vegetable market, okay, time is almost up, I'll leave first."

Wang Haonan waved his hand and drank the wine in the glass, "Boss, how do you think an invisible murderer can be found?"

The boss thought about it after hearing this, "Invisible...murderer, find a way to make it visible?"

Making it visible...

"For example?"

"For example, use some paint or something and sprinkle it on the invisible man?"

"What if the invisible man can change the color of his body, including the paint sprinkled on him?"

"Then...what about sprinkling sand on the ground?"

Sprinkling sand.

This is indeed difficult to do.

"But the premise is that the criminal must be present."

...

On the street.

Chen Ye walked for a long time with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone. He suddenly sighed, "No money..."

"Let the invisible man and the raven steal?"

"No... Who keeps money at home now? It must be in the bank."

"Let the merman rob the bank?"

"He will be beaten to a pulp."

"The invisible man won't work either. As long as there is a thermal imaging camera, invisibility will be meaningless."

"After all the talk, we still have to find a rich man."

But how can a rich man be so easy to find?

"Huh?"

Chen Ye raised his head and suddenly found a red convertible sports car parked in front of his coffee shop.

"Hey, isn't this a good thing?"

Chen Ye walked into the shop and saw a man and a woman sitting in the coffee shop.

The man was nearly 30 years old, but he was very handsome. Unfortunately, Chen Ye knew him.

He was his neighbor in the next building. He always liked to come to his place to order a cup of coffee and sit there all day.

The sentence he often said to Chen Ye was, what else can you do when fishing besides waiting?

The woman had blonde hair and was very graceful, showing her wealth. She looked older than the man.

"He is with a rich woman."

As soon as Chen Ye came in, the man waved to him, "Hey, boss, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Ye changed his clothes and came to the front desk, "Sorry for the long wait, both of you."

The woman looked at Chen Ye and suddenly her eyes lit up, "No, you came just in time."

"Xiao Lin has always told me that your coffee is unique. No matter what I say, I have to come here to taste it~"

Unique coffee?

He knows nothing about coffee.

The man looked at the woman, and then whispered: "Ahem, I didn't lie to you, Sister Shen, Boss Chen and I are equally good-looking."

The man suddenly winked at Chen Ye.

Hmm?

What drama is this?

The woman crossed her legs. "I'm really drunk on the spring breeze and dreaming of a young man. Boss, you look so young."

Chen Ye's face was expressionless when he heard this, "Guest, would you like something to drink."

"Have a drink of the most expensive drink in your store." The woman smiled.

Chen Ye smiled lightly, and then suddenly took out a bottle from his arms, which was filled with a black liquid like coffee.

"The most expensive one, not everyone dares to drink it."

Hearing this, the woman picked up the bottle, then unscrewed the cap and took a sniff. There was a faint fragrance.

But why is this scent so strange?

"I have never smelled this kind of fragrance. It seems different from ordinary coffee. What is it?" the woman asked.

"Exclusive secret recipe."

Made from coffee beans, queen ants, queen bees, honeycomb honey, monarch butterflies, and tulips.

Number: Hive.

The woman swirled the liquid in the cup, then put it to her mouth and took a sip.

"Hmm... it has a wonderful taste, with a sweet aftertaste and aroma, but this... doesn't seem to be coffee, right?"

The woman said and drank the remaining liquid in one gulp.

The next second, her pupils trembled violently.

"Uh...this is..."

The man on the side was stunned for a moment when he saw this, "What did you give her to drink?!"

Chen Ye smiled lightly when he heard this, "I told you, it's an exclusive secret recipe."

The man was about to speak, but the woman's hand suddenly grabbed his collar, "Did I let you... speak?"

The man was stunned for a moment, "Sister Shen, I..."

"Shut up." The woman said and turned to look at Chen Ye. Her pupils split into several at this moment.

But soon, her pupils merged into one again.

Immediately afterwards, the woman's body began to tremble, and her figure also changed, becoming... plumper and younger.

But her hands shriveled up, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.

Apart from this, there are no other abnormalities on the woman's body.

Chen Ye frowned when he saw this.

Strange, this is somewhat different from the effect he intended...

Just when Chen Ye was confused, a needle suddenly grew out of the woman's finger.

She quietly inserted the needle into the man's neck, and the man fell into a coma before he could react.

"What a novel experience. How can I thank you?"

The woman said and looked at Chen Ye with a charming face. From the looks of it...

The effects of the medicine seemed to be taking a strange direction.

Forget it, never mind.

"I want……"

"I know that your gift is very valuable and cannot be measured by money."

"No, money can..."

"For you, money must be dispensable, otherwise you wouldn't open a coffee shop without customers."

"It's not profitable at all, is it?"

Chen Ye: "..."

I suspected she was mocking me, but I had no proof.

"But right now, apart from money, I really have nothing else to use to thank you."

Yes, money is enough!

I don’t want anything else, I’m short of money right now!

"I know this is not sincere enough, so I decided to give you a commensurate gift. You can look forward to it for now."

ah?
