## Events Of Criminal Case

### Sound Of The Sea

After collecting enough evidence, Ophelia and Mia went to confront **Herman Cavendish** for the murder.

When confronted about the murder, Herman laughed and commented on how wild Ophelia and Mia’s “imagination” is, but as the duo gradually presented their evidence, he started losing his cool until he finally admitted to killing Paul because he was going to ruin his only chance on getting “his mermaid”. Herman explained that ever since he was a kid, he had a deep fascination about mermaids and although he was told many times they were nothing but myths, he knew deep down they were real and dreamed of catching one ever since he was a younger fisherman. However as he grew old, he slowly started loosing faith on these creatures, that was until today where he spotted one swimming near the ferry. Herman could not believe his eyes, that after all these years his dreams of seeing a mermaid had finally become true and he rushed immediately to get his hunting equipments to catch her. But when he returned, the mermaid was gone and Herman had lost his only chance of capturing one. However, Herman did not give up and decided to keep his guard, hoping that the mermaid would return and that he would have his chance to hunt her again. After a while of waiting, Herman heard news that someone found a girl drowning in the ocean and brought her into the ship and he came rushing to see who it is. And he was surprised to see that it was his mermaid, except she had a pair of human legs instead of a fishtail. When Herman saw her, he told everyone to back off and tried to kill her, but Paul restrained him and asked him if he was insane. Herman tried to explain to Paul that the girl they found was a mermaid, but Paul refuses to listen to him and threatened to have the security lock him up if he dared put a finger on the girl. As that point, Herman has grown sick of Paul as this was the second time he stopped him from hunting his prize and knew that if he wanted to kill capture the mermaid he had to get rid of Paul first. So when he saw Paul alone at the verandas, he took him by surprise and stabbed him on the abdomen using his fishing spear. Herman initially planned to dump him into the water so that no one would find the body but when he spotted the sirens moving toward the ferry, he developed a better plan and instead left his body laying at corner, hoping that the birds would maul him alive and the murder won’t be linked to him. After hearing the motive, Ophelia and Mia took Herman to the ship’s security team who had him temporarily locked up until he receives proper judgement.
