Three seconds

All Mo Qiang wanted was to return home after filing the complaint but it was as if the heavens were deliberately going against her.

Though it was only a small case of pickpocketing and she only needed to tell them about how the mer looked and what his height and features were, it still took her three hours. 

All because the police officers were having a jolly time while laughing at her! 

She would have not said a thing about this but then the officer who wrote her complaint told her that there was a new dye trending in the market these days which only lasted for an hour along with masks that looked like human skin. 

Though the police officer did not say it outright, she was basically telling her that the chances of finding her ring were next to none because the sneaky thief might be using these items. 

And of course, that sticky fingers were using them!
