Chapter 205 - 205: The Jellyfish

She stepped forward, stood in front of Albert, and said with a smile, "I have a phone. Come with me. I'll go to the dressing room and get it for you."

The girl frowned and said stiffly, "Don't bother. I'll see if anyone has it on the shore..."

Then she turned away and walked to her companion, who was waiting for her. And they left together.

While walking, the girl said with a smile, "I told you, that girl is his girlfriend. You just didn't listen to me."

The girl was upset, "She's young. Maybe she's his sister."

Her companion said, "How could that be? Who hangs out with his sister? Are you stupid?"

Sophia was about to go into the sea when a voice sounded, "Oh, sister, you're here, too."

She had a headache when she heard the voice.

Sure enough, it was Benjamin. He walked towards her in a swimsuit. He had a lifebuoy in his arms, with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Sophia asked.

"I called Mr. Pearson. He said he's here. So, here I am. I want to tell him about the latest survey results. And I want to travel here," said Benjamin.

Sophia asked, "What's new?"

Benjamin, however, kept a secret. "I'll tell you later. I haven't been to the seaside for a long time. It's so good."

Sophia was in no hurry anyway and let him play. After what happened to Nicole, she had serious doubts about Benjamin's ability to solve cases.

As soon as she was about to go deeper, a wave came, and she stopped. The water gently touched her knees and soon receded.

The waves receded, and a child's voice sounded in her ear. "Mom, what is that transparent thing? Look! It moves!"

Sophia looked in the child's direction. Suddenly, her face changed. She ran forward and picked the child up.

Not far from her, a transparent thing was waving its tentacles on the beach. She recognized at a glance that it was a poisonous jellyfish called lamp jellyfish.

It was just that this kind of jellyfish should not be here, was it?

Sophia had read some introduction about lamp jellyfish. It was extremely poisonous. If someone was poisoned by it, the possibility of survival was extremely low. It was a very dangerous creature in the ocean.

It was mainly located in Australia and had never been found here.

However, it appeared here magically after a wave.

"What are you doing? Are you taking my kid?" A young woman rushed up, grabbed the kid Sophia was holding, and shouted, "I'm calling the police! Help! Police! Someone's stealing my child!"

The two security guards, not far away, came and asked, "What's going on?"

"The jellyfish…" Sophia said, "Make the visitors here leave. Now! If anyone gets caught by its tentacles, the person will die before being sent to the hospital."

She looked around and fixed her eyes on a man in the distance. She turned suddenly and ran to the man.

When the man felt that someone was chasing him, he panicked and ran away. But he was nowhere near as fast as Sophia, who soon caught up with him.

Sophia stopped and grabbed him. "Go to the police station!" she said coldly.

The man struggled hard but failed to break free. "What?" he said angrily. "I did nothing. What are you doing to me? I'm the one to call the police!"

At this time, the security guards came. They had evacuated the nearby tourists and contacted one worker to deal with the lamp jellyfish. Albert and Benjamin also came. Albert stood near the man and watched his every move to keep him from hurting Sophia.

"What's going on?" A guard asked.

"She's crazy. She just comes up and grabs me. You should take her," the man preempted.

"How many people are you trying to kill by putting a highly venomous lamp jellyfish in a crowd? You can be charged with endangering public safety or… attempted murder, can you?" Sophia said.

The man panicked but still denied, "What lamp jellyfish? I don't know what you're talking about. There are so many people here. How do you do it? What is wrong with you?"

When the guard contacted the worker, they had heard about the great danger of the lamp jellyfish. When they heard Sophia say that the man had done it, they became vigilant. Two security guards quietly changed their positions to prevent the man from assaulting or fleeing.

Sophia said, "There are so many people here. But you're the only one wearing long-sleeved clothes, a mask, and gloves. Don't you think it's too conspicuous to dress like this on the beach? Yes, the tentacles of the lamp jellyfish are very poisonous. But people will be poisoned when it comes into contact with human skin. You dress like this because you don't want to get hurt when you release it, do you?"

The man would not admit, "No. I'm just afraid of the sun. It's the skin allergy. You can't frame me like that without proof!"

The guards looked at Sophia. If she could not provide the evidence, they had no way to force the man away.

Sophia said, "The proof is in your backpack. The lamp jellyfish are very toxic. You can't just take it. You must have a specific container for it. The place where the lamp jellyfish was found was a distance from the sea, so it would be a waste of time to throw the container into the sea. When I ran after you, I found nothing all the way. So, the container should still be on you. There must be some skin tissue from the lamp jellyfish in the container. We'll know when you check it out."

The man's face changed, and he was about to speak when a guard stopped him. "Excuse me, sir? Can we check your backpack?"

The shook his head at once, "No. You have no right to check my bag."

"Yeah. I have no right to do that, but we have called the police, and they will be here in a minute. We'll leave it to the police," said the guard.

The man trembled and said no rebuttal. He was just gagging at Sophia, biting his lips, and no longer talking.. The guards took him to a nearby security room for temporary supervision, waiting for the arrival of the police.
