Trafford's Trading Club

The world became dark red and the city collapsed in an instant as the heaven fell and the earth cracked.

Long Xiruo could even hear the cry of grief from all things.

Seeing the collapse under her feet, blood red tears flew out of her eyes.

She shouted fiercely to the sky, but what came to her was only the darkness.

”No---!”

She opened her eyes and saw a dazzling galaxy. It was a rare wonderful night.

Long Xiruo had just woken up from a dream on a branch of an ancient tree.

This dream was troubling her since she got close to that door.

She gently touched her eyebrows and gathered some water drops with her fingers to drink.

Then, she jumped down the tree and went to the forest to find the answer.

…

…

The soulʼs first movement?

”Soul” was the term used by the strange club. However, ”Spirit” was usually used to describe the eastern demon Black Water.

Miss Black Water confusedly looked at the living dead, whose eyes were gloomy and whose body was decaying.

Whereʼs the sound of the Spirit? Miss Black Water concentrated her attention on this living dead, but she found nothing different except silence.

”I canʼt hear anything.” Miss Black Water expressed this with her look.

”Please think of the first time that you opened eyes.” Luo Qiu glanced at her and went on, ”I believe you can hear it... because you are qualified.”

Miss Black Water subconsciously stepped back with a terrifying and complex feeling.

Soon she turned around and quickly left… She now just wanted to go back to the little demons.

Luo Qiu gazed at the rotten body beside him, revealing a trace of hope.

But suddenly he stood up and walked away.

…

After taking a bath and drinking up the soup, Officer Ma hastily went to the police station, because he had gotten new information about the case of Zhao Ru.

”Whatʼs new?” Officer Ma sat down and directly asked, ”Any information from the telecommunications company?”

”No. weʼve found a stack of letters in the room of the first dead though.”

The young policeman gave these to Officer Ma and went on, ”The photos in it are the same as that in Zhao Ruʼs notebook. And the notes, there is proof that she wasnʼt simply extorting. Once we match the handwriting, Iʼm sure she had threatened and frighten them, which was why they chose such an extreme method.”

Many sharp words and different photographs were attached to each letter.

”Youʼre a good student, good at selling yourself.”

”What would your family, your classmates and people around you think if they saw these photos?”

”What will happen if your parents know about it...”

”Why are you still living in the world?”

”I think itʼs time to disclose these. On the Internet or the street? Or should I send it to your school?”

”Whatʼs the meaning of your life? Youʼll be scolded you whole life.”

”Oh, do you really want to know what they say behind you?”

”You b*tch! B*tch!!B*tch!!!”

”Iʼll reveal it. Go to hell!”

…

Ma Houde shook his head after reading these letters, ”What would a child feel to receive such letters every day?”

Maybe they couldnʼt do anything under threats.

”Go and identify the handwriting of Zhao Ru.” Ma Houde ordered, ”And threaten her when you interrogate her.”

”Yes, sir.” The young policeman nodded, ”These letters must be out of Zhao Ruʼs imagination.”

”Justice has long arms!” Saying this, Ma Houde suddenly frowned and quickly took up the letters.

”Officer Ma, whatʼs the matter?”

”No, no, no…” Ma Houde put down the letters, ”Thereʼs no word about the teacher.”

”Yes... Is that a problem?” The young policeman was startled, ”Werenʼt we confused over that due to the fake rumors by the real murderer?”

”I know...”Ma Houde said, ”But the massage in Gu Jiajieʼs phone mentioned the teacher.”

”Well... Officer Ma, you mean the case of Gu Jiajie being different from other four cases?”

”I donʼt know...” Ma Houde shook his head and quickly stood up, taking the key and phone, ”Iʼll go to the No.3 Hospital, you stay here and match the handwriting as soon as possible!”

”Yes, sir!”

…

…

Every information, like the words of Gu Feng and forensic expert, Mr. Qin, and the medicine found in Gu Jiajieʼs room came to his mind while he was driving.

”I just vented my anger on him, I didnʼt really mean to hurt him with a knife. But he suddenly rebelled that day...”

”Itʼs strange that the cancer cells were gone when I examined them again.”

”This medicine should be a kind of anticancer drug called Chidamide.”

”I donʼt know that much. Doesnʼt he take care of himself if he gets cold or sick?”

”I must do an examination on the corpse again.”

He arrived at the No.3 Hospital.

When he got off the car, he called Mr. Qin, ”Hey, Old Qin, what did you get from the examination?”

”Iʼm waiting for the result.”

”OK. Please tell me at first instance.” He hung up the phone.

Then he flew over to the ward of He Xiaomei but was stopped by a nurse.

”Excuse me, sir, itʼs past visiting hours now.” Said the nurse.

Officer Ma intended to take out his identification card but the nurse suddenly said, ”Sir, do you know Liu Jiahui? Are you his friend or relative?”

”What... What do you mean?” Ma Houde was stunned.

The nurse said, ”My colleagues said you and two other people came to see Liu Jiahui and He Xiaomei today… I was going to look for you, but you left.”

Ma Houde quietly put his identification card back and asked, ”Miss, are you close to Liu Jiahui?”

”Yes, this poor child takes care of his grandmother every day. Sir, if you were his friend or relative, please help him…The doctor said, he wouldnʼt live long...”

…

…

The play center was the first possible place that Shen Meihuan could think of. But she didnʼt find her son here.

The staffʼs insincere reply let Shen Meihuan feel relieved. However, she still felt anxious about her son…

Where would he go this time?

Shen Meihuan had looked for her son almost everywhere they had gone before… And now she came to the hotel that they lived.

Thinking about the woman in the black dress that also lived here, she just wanted to leave, but a voice was heard behind her.

”Are you looking for me?”

”I... Iʼm just passing by.”

Shen Meihuan turned around and saw Miss Black Water. She thought leaving was better than talking to her.

But Miss Black Water said, ”Your son is missing again, right?”

”What... what do you know?” Shen Meihuan immediately stopped.

Miss Black Water quietly said, ”Donʼt you feel anything wrong? Your body is corroding.”

”You saw him, right?” Shen Meihuan grabbed her arm and begged, ”Please! Please tell me where he is!”

”Iʼm sorry, I donʼt know.” Miss Black Water shook her head and loosened Shen Meihuanʼs hand, then she just went to the hotel with two big bags.

”Please tell me!” Shen Merihuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed toward her.

Though Miss Black Water heard the sound, she didnʼt dare to look at Shen Meihuan, but directly went upstairs.

…

Shen Meihuan vacantly looked at the automatic glass door of the hotel for a while, then she disappointedly stood up.

The devastated feeling came to her again that she wanted to ask the club for help. It was more likely that her son would be found if she went to the club earlier. And she would pay anything she had to get that result.

But now, Miss Black Water said, ”Wait for a minute, Iʼll take you to him… Donʼt make any more transactions.”

Right then, Shen Meihuan heard the voice of Black Water.

”Thank you! Thank you! ”
