That night, after the dream, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
But I never expected that she would actually sacrifice her life for my marriage with Liu An!
The police officer did not show any signs of impatience, waiting for me to calm down before starting the questioning.
“How was the relationship between Liu An and his mother?”
I spoke in a muffled voice, “Liu An is very filial. No matter how busy he is, he always returns home to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday and all the holidays. He says that she is the one who raised him, and he has worked his whole life to ensure she lives well.”
As soon as I said it, I realized the contradiction in my words.
A son as devoted as Liu An could never have killed his mother!
The real culprit must be someone else!
The officer took notes and then answered a phone call, his expression growing increasingly serious.
Once he hung up, I stood up and grabbed the officer's sleeve.
“Officer, the victim was my respected mother-in-law. I hope to assist the police investigation to the best of my ability. I also hope you can give my mother-in-law justice and share any updates on the case within your capacity.”
The officer glanced at me and said, “The autopsy results are in. The cause of death was an arterial bite. The residue found in the wound does not belong to a human.”
I narrowed my eyes. “So, it’s likely that the culprit is that Mermaid.”
“I believe so too,” the officer nodded. “Although Liu An said he released the Mermaid back into the sea, our investigation shows that this is simply not possible.”
The officer pulled out a hand-drawn simple map. “The Mermaid must still be hiding in the city and is likely to continue harming others. We need to find it as soon as possible.”
I struggled to recall, "Officer, I've seen it before. Its living environment is extremely harsh; it needs greenery and a constant supply of fish to eat, which is hard to achieve in a residential building. So I guess it should be somewhere like a park or a fishing ground."
The officer nodded, jotting down my analysis one by one. He then left a few officers to guard me at the hospital before departing.
After a week of thorough investigation, the police pinpointed an ecological park and collaborated with the fishing team to carry out the capture.
I sat in the car at a distance, watching as the struggling mermaid was pulled ashore and restrained. Only then did I leisurely step out of the vehicle.
Without Liu An's care, the mermaid now looked far from exquisite.
Her hair was tangled and messy, her lifeless fish-like eyes lacked any spark, and her long yellowed fangs were quite unsettling...
Standing before her, I looked down as she rolled and struggled in the dirt, tentatively calling out, " Xiao Lan."
She showed no reaction whatsoever.
I tried again, "Liu An."
The mermaid remained unresponsive.
It seemed she had lost all memory.
Having been away from the sea for too long, Xiao Lan had completely transformed into a mindless monster.
A researcher in a pristine white robe directly injected a syringe into the mermaid.
She let out a howl, convulsing uncontrollably until she collapsed from exhaustion.
In the end, the mermaid lay limp on the ground, allowing others to load her into a large truck bound for the research institute.
Three months later, during the court hearing, I attended as an observer, and the case finally came to light.
The researchers worked overtime to thoroughly study the Mermaid, a creature that had never been seen before. They discovered that it was inherently aggressive and bloodthirsty, a hybrid of human and beast.
While in the sea, the Mermaid could occasionally maintain its humanity, but once on land, in an unsuitable environment, if it did not receive sufficient nourishment, its beastly nature would overpower its human side, ultimately leading to a complete loss of sanity and turning it into a wild beast.
On that day, Mother Liu unfortunately crossed paths with danger. The repeated humiliation inflicted by Mother Liu enraged the Mermaid, which bit her and killed her instantly.
After the initial panic, Liu An did not think to call the police; instead, he decided to quietly bury Mother Liu, hoping to wait for the storm to pass and then escape with the Mermaid.
However, Liu An did not want a partner who had lost their sanity. He recalled what the Mermaid had mentioned about a "great restorative" and thought of Baby's Placenta.
Thus, risking everything, Liu An went to the hospital, only to be captured by the police.
The authorities were concerned that this case involving a non-human crime might cause public panic, so they handled it discreetly. As a result, there were very few people in attendance during the hearing.
The assistant beside me held Baby and sighed, "Sister Lulu, why does Liu have to go through all this? Is he truly enchanted by this creature?"
I forced a smile and replied, "You don't understand; they are truly in love!"
The case against Liu An was difficult to judge. After prolonged deliberation, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
A month later, I brought a divorce agreement to visit him in prison, along with a pot of Spicy Pepper Fish Tail.
With his shaved head and unkempt beard, Liu An looked like a complete mess.
He gazed at the terms of the divorce agreement that left him with nothing and sighed deeply with a sense of profound loss.
"Lulu, after all we've been through as a couple, do you really have to be this ruthless?"
I pulled a blue scale from my bag and waved it in front of Liu An. "Do you recognize this scale?"
Liu An's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the scale. "Where did you get this scale?"
"Cut the nonsense. Do you want to know how your little lover is doing now?"
I tapped the divorce agreement with my fingertip.
Liu An gritted his teeth, trembling as he signed the divorce agreement.
Then he glared at me. "You should tell me now, right?"
I happily tucked the signed divorce agreement into my bag without looking up. "The scale was pried off a Mermaid's tail. Did you really need to ask such a simple question?"
Veins bulged on Liu An's forehead as he ground his teeth together. "So how is Xiao Lan doing? Is she okay?"
"Don't rush," I said, pushing a lunchbox toward Liu An. "Look at you; eat something first to calm down."
Liu An glared at me fiercely, devouring the fish tail hungrily. After wiping his mouth, he eagerly gestured for me to speak.
I slowly organized my things, a hint of coldness curling at the corner of my mouth. "What you're eating is her."
I stood up, ignoring Liu An, who was being restrained by the police and roaring in madness behind me, and walked briskly out of the police station.
A ray of sunlight fell on me as I exhaled a long breath of stale air.
Without a husband and years of youth gone, I still had my daughter Baby and a lifetime of wealth that would never run out.
As for the man in prison, he should be quite pleased.
I specifically went out of my way to procure this piece of meat for him.
Researchers have discovered that Mermaid meat has extremely high nutritional value and can be developed into nutritional supplements.
I bought a piece of unprocessed, organic meat at a high price and made a pot of Spicy Pepper Fish Tail, fulfilling Liu An's true love.
Isn't Liu An deeply in love with the Mermaid? Now he has completely merged with her, never to be separated for all eternity.
The Mermaid has transformed into nutrients within his body, becoming a part of him. What a steadfast and magnificent love; it almost brings me to tears.
I wiped away the crocodile tears from the corners of my eyes and went straight to handle the property settlement with the divorce agreement in hand.
The first thing I did after obtaining Controlling Interest was sell Liu An's company. Just looking at it reminded me of those years when I was blind to everything.
After the divorce, my boyfriends became younger and more handsome one after another, and my life grew more enjoyable by the day.
Until one day, at the High School Reunion, others looked at me and asked if I had come to the wrong place.
Standing next to them felt like parents bringing their daughter along.
My classmates were astonished by my transformation, and I just smiled.
So what if I divorced and had kids? I have money to enjoy life, treating myself as if I were eighteen!
Three years later, I brought Baby to pay respects to Mother Liu, placing a large bouquet of White Carnations at her grave.
"Baby, kneel down and bow to Grandma."
Baby turned to look at me, then suddenly knelt down in front of the tombstone with a thud, calling out softly, "Grandma."
I arranged the fruits and the Maotai liquor, saying, "Grandma, I came here with your granddaughter to see you."
"It's been three years in the blink of an eye; Baby can bow to you now."
"If you don't want to find a companion down there, maybe you could gather some old friends and play cards or something."
"You worked hard all your life; now it's time to enjoy some peace."
I rambled on for a while before slapping my forehead.
"I almost forgot! I brought you some supplements."
I opened the thermos and poured the clear, rich soup in front of Mother Liu's grave.
"This is fish tail soup; it's very nourishing. Be sure to drink plenty."
Not long ago, the Fishing Team unexpectedly discovered a highly aggressive Mermaid at sea, and I managed to buy a piece of fish tail meat at a high price.
After thinking it over, I decided it was best to offer it to Grandma.
