Trafford’s Trading Club

Gasps.

As if the ear had been covered, but through the resonance of the skull, the breathing sounds of the mouth after mouth, best effort, could be heard particularly clearly.

And the sound of a heartbeat.

It was dark around, not knowing whether it was at dawn or after sunset.

She runs, turns back from time to time, and looks scared.

Barefoot, yet the earth is not soft, and there is no green grass in it, because it is muddy, even uneven.

She turned back again and there seemed to be something horrible behind her.

Then she fell to the ground, but immediately climbed up. She had lost sight of her injured knee and continued to run in her pants.

Finally, she seemed to crash into something, soft, soft, tender.

“Don't be afraid, Caroline. ”

“Dad, dog... very fierce dog... chase me...”

“Don't be afraid, Caroline, I'm here. ”

I'm in, I'm in.

I'm...

I...

……

Take a deep breath.

Pretty pupils appear suddenly like pigment patterns blooming in the water, breaking out all the darkness. Caroline first saw the fan leaves that were slowly turning.

Her whole body was wet and she didn't know when to sweat, making her feel uncomfortable. The sunlight came in from the outside, a little dazzling.

I should still be lying on the couch in the living room of my boyfriend Arnold's house in Livia. Caroline closed her eyes again so that her consciousness could sober up.

Looks like he overslept and was going to leave early in the morning.

Caroline opened her eyes again and felt quite comfortable, but also felt like she was holding something in her hand beneath the couch. She unconsciously let go of her hand and then heard the sound of a 'dawn'.

Looks like metal?

Caroline leaned her head toward the bottom of the sofa and looked from blurred to sober. And then she saw a knife —— quite rightly, a knife for cutting fruit.

The silver blade front edge, with a bright red color, is easily reminiscent of the color attached to the blade as blood.

A few seconds later, it seemed to realize something about Caroline, suddenly sitting up, standing up, and trying to call Libya's name, "Libya? Livia? Livy... ah! ”

She tried to look in the direction of Libya and her boyfriend's room, but at this moment she saw Libya sitting at the table.

She was sitting facing the chair with her chin banging on the back of the chair with her eyes open to Caroline. Her hands drowned naturally, and the floor beneath the chair was quite a dark red object.

Caroline was even able to see the remaining blood slipping off the feet of a white plastic chair bench.

“Livia!!! ”

Caroline rushed to the front of the chair, shook her hands, patted Livia's shoulder, seemed to be trying to ‘wake' Livia, and then she could tell her that it was just a joke.

The body… is so stiff, even a little cold, that it has no soft skin for women at all.

“Ah--! ”

Caroline screamed in horror.

The body, the blood... the bloodstained knife... for a moment Caroline seemed to realize something: inside this house, it was terribly quiet right now, and there was obviously one person missing!

Libya's boyfriend, the man who's going to college: Arnold.

“Calm down, calm down... calm down. ”

Caroline forced herself to calm down. She tried to get herself to remember what happened last night.

Last night, because it was too hot in the little room, she snuck out in the middle of the night, took a cold bath, lay down on the sofa in the living room, and then fell asleep until she woke up.

Then she held the bloodstained knife in her hand, and Livia died and Arnold disappeared. Since I'm asleep, naturally I won't and can't do it, so... Arnold?

He killed Livia and then left in a hurry, for fear that he even stuffed the murder weapon in his own hands and tried to blame himself?

But... why would Arnold want to kill Livia?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all, Caroline just feels so confused right now. She doesn't know what to do... Maybe this is the right time to call the police?

She just instinctively thought of the need to find someone - someone who could help herself.

Cell phone... she went back to the couch and looked for her cell phone while she saw her bag dropped on the other side of the coffee table. Caroline suddenly had a bad feeling.

She picked up her bag and quickly checked it.

No... No!

She even poured everything out of the bag, makeup mirrors, lipstick, keys, paper towels... a bunch of clutter scattered all over the floor and Caroline even shook the bag so hard that it was empty, however...

Still no!

That card!

Bathroom… No.

The grocery store I stayed in last night... no.

Arnold's room... No!

Everywhere she went, she went crazy looking through the house, everything she could see —— no!

No, I don't think so.

Caroline fell on her knees powerlessly... what should we do? What should we do?

At this point, there was the sound of knocking on the door outside the house, and the voice of a woman talking, "What happened? Is anybody there? ”

Keep knocking on the door.

The frightened Caroline rushed to the door, through the hole in the door panel, and saw a middle-aged woman with a bag of garbage in her hand… seemed to be the occupant of the building.

“Anybody? Did I just hear a scream? Hey, is anyone there? ”

I...

Caroline instinctively screamed, but the voice was not loud, and she immediately covered her mouth - asking the woman for help?

Obviously unrealistic.

“Arnold, are you back? ”

The woman outside the door suddenly turned back and looked in the direction of the stairs. Carolyn listened to the woman outside the door, her face slightly changed, she pulled her pupils closer to the door hole again, and at the same time she heard a man speaking secretly... is that Arnold?

“Good morning, Mrs. Riley. I just got back from college. Is something wrong? ”

The middle-aged woman... Mrs. Riley laughed and said: "Are you staying up all night at school again? You're a very diligent child, but you need to be aware of your health. ”

“I know, it's just that there's been an important exam lately, so we need to push harder. ”

You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Why don't you have some at my house? ”Mrs. Riley laughed.

Caroline still can't see the man talking, but the voice... even if it gets a little unclear through the door, she can barely recognize it, which seems to be even Arnold's voice - she and Arnold saw it last night, just haven't spoken a few words.

“Well, thank you again today, Mrs. Riley. By the way, wait for me to put the stuff away first... Oh, yeah, is there something you want to do in front of my house? ”

“Oh, here's the thing, when I just went downstairs to take out the trash, suddenly I heard a scream coming from your house, it was a woman...” Mrs. Riley frowned. "Arnold, isn't that your girlfriend? Don't hide it. How many times have I seen a beautiful woman come out of your house? Introduce me well. ”

“Where did I get a girlfriend? Mrs. Riley, don't be ridiculous.” The man's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "I'm studying hard now. ”

He pulled out the key and was facing the door.

With a certain duck tongue cap, he kept his head down and was opening the door so he could only see his chin.

Carolyn finally couldn't see the man... Although he was in his room last night, only seeing one or two sides, he had the key to open the door, naturally Arnold was right.

But he actually...

The moment the key was inserted into the lock hole, time slowed down as if Caroline's eyes were wide open and her heart beat fast!

This man... killed someone, then went out and came back, disguised her as the murderer, once they opened the door to see this scene... how should she argue?

“Mrs. Riley, just give me a minute. It'll be quick. ”

Arnold opened the door of the house as he spoke, the house was small and almost immediately opened the door to see everything... Arnold suddenly stunned.

Mrs. Riley felt very strange and asked, "Arnold? ”

Arnold turned around rigidly and looked frightened, "Mrs. Riley, I think... we're going to call the police. My house... my family is dead! ”

“What!” Mrs. Riley squeezed into the house in shock, first to see a woman sitting on a stool who had died in the past - Livia!

Mrs. Riley was so scared that she couldn't even hold the garbage bag in her hand, yet Arnold rushed towards the balcony, shouting, "Someone jumped out of the building! ”

Mrs. Riley rushed in and looked up from the balcony. This house is not tall, this is the second floor, Mrs. Riley just saw a shadow rushing away.

“It's a woman! ”

Two people spoke in unison.

……

……

It's a house by the sea, only two stories tall, but obviously not cheap - this is an apartment for those on vacation.

The number of the door is correct.

Song Hao ran tidied up his clothes, which was a gentleman's most basic quality--and he had a bunch of flowers in his hand.

After pressing the doorbell, Song Haoran waited quietly, and the salty sea breeze blew in, obviously not very comfortable in the hot day. But he didn't sweat, and he looked perfectly comfortable.

Soon after, the apartment door opened.

Song Hao Run smiled brilliantly, "Hello again, Miss Yu Night. ”

The maid in plain clothes simply gave a surprised look. Her unexpected appearance made Song Hao feel a little bit proud - he actually knew that he was a bit funny, for example, he liked to see other people look surprised.

“Mr. Song, is that you? ”

“Is Rochu here?” Song Hao Run smiled slightly: “I was invited. You didn't forget to ask me to dinner, did you? ”

“How could it be!” Unight greeted Song Haoran as he walked into the apartment.

Song Haoran sent out the flowers on his hands, smiling: "This is for you, orange flowers, true love, I hope you enjoy it. ”

“Thank you.” Yu took it from Song Haoran with a smile.

“Who's here? ”

The location of the kitchen came out of a shadow, and certainly the new owner of a club - the owner - was wearing an apron and had a seasoned long wooden spoon in his hand.

“Mr. Song!” Rochu was also very surprised, then he put down what he had in his hand, unwrapped his apron, and walked out, “It's really you! ”

Song Haoran moved his nose and he smelled some food. He said happily: "Looks like it's time for me to come... Didn't you say you wanted to buy me a meal? ”

He blinked, as if he were joking: "Did you forget? ”

“How come, you're so welcome.” Rochu smiled with a smile, but was helpless: “Too bad I wasn't ready to burn the lion's head red today. ”

“It's okay," said Song Hao. "If you make this dish today, I'll be surprised. ”

Song Haoran walked into the house. Yu Night hastily came to greet him with tea. Lo Qiu walked into the kitchen and turned off the fire of the seafood soup he was cooking.

Luo Qiu sat down and looked at Song Hao Run. “Mr. Song, I'm relieved to see you safe. I've been following last night's news, but the story is somewhat less detailed. Heard there was a lot of fighting going on? ”

“It's true that some people are dead.” Song Haoran said softly: “But in this country, it's not hard to die. ”

He looked at an album on the coffee table and curiously took the past, turning a few pages, and discovered that it was a colour album describing the world's paleontology, which was filled with species of flora and fauna that were not common on weekdays.

Song Hao suddenly said: “Do you like this stuff? ”

"I'm actually a paleontology student," said Rocho. Last time I heard Mr. Song's strange black python mentioned in your adventure story, I was a little curious, so I wanted to check it out, see if I could find a clue or something. ”

“Do you remember that story?” Song Hao smiled and blinked: “Actually, I made it up. ”

Boss Lo just laughed and didn't say anything.

At this time, Yu Night put on the apron that the boss had unlocked and walked into the kitchen, intending to take over the dishes. Song Hao took a look and smiled. “This daughter-in-law can do it! ”

And Rochu suddenly said, "Wait a minute. ”

Under Song Hao Lan's curious eyes, Lo Qiu went upstairs and soon came down with a box. He walked up to Song Hao Run, opened the box, and said positively: "Mr. Song, I think this thing should be returned to you. ”

“Oh?” Song Hao ran was interesting, taking out what was in the box and putting it a few times -- this was one of the pieces of equipment he got from the bandits at the theater last night: a pistol.

Song Haolan skillfully opened the magazine, looked casually, and suddenly looked at Lo Qiu and asked: “Don't you need a bullet? ”

Rochu shook his head: "I don't need this stuff. ”

”'That's a good thing,' said Song Hao Run.

Song Hao suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said: "Lo Qiu, there is actually something I want you to see this time. ”

“We'll see. ”

Song Hao ran the phone out, tapped on the screen, then the photo album, and finally put it in front of Lo Qiu, and said softly: “This man, do you remember? ”

There is a yellow photo in the mobile photo album, and for reasons as far back as age, there are many white spots on the black and white photo.

It's faded, and you can barely see the outline of the person in that picture.

A very young photograph, wearing an unmarked military uniform, carrying a homemade bayonet rifle... Song Hao Run looked at Lo Qiu's face at the moment and said softly: “This is my uncle, Song Tianyin. ”
