Trafford's Trading Club

The building of Yingchuan.

One could call it a shopping mall as there were many stores in this building from the first floor to the fifth floor.

Yingchuan building was a popular place, attracting mostly the younger people for selling cuisines, clothes and also jewelry.

But this didnʼt mean the business here was good as there were too many similar stores nearby. The shop owner could, maybe, at most make one deal a day.

So, the shopkeepers, when seeing a customer come in, would be very happy to raise prices… oh, no. They would serve the consumers with their ”enthusiasm”.

”Dear customer, come in please! We have the latest fashion accessories. Would you like this silver accessory, which was made of pure silver… How about the pink crystal? It will bring you good luck. Buy one for your pretty girlfriend, how beautiful she is!”

The excellent verbal talent made Luo Qiu feel humbled.

Yes, the consumers here were You Ye and her master, Luo Qiu.

”Excuse me, have you seen such a necklace recently?” You Ye showed the shop owner a picture on her phone.

A black necklace with a crystal inlaid.

”It… seems a little familiar,” the shop-woman paused and then said, ”But it is very common…would you like to buy a similar one? Please look, their shapes are almost same! If you buy one, we can give you a big discount…”

The woman stopped talking suddenly as Miss. Maid pointed to her forehead quickly.

In the meantime, Luo Qiu was looking at the jewelry as well as listening to the conversation between Miss. Maid and the woman.

”Can you remember if you have seen this necklace three months ago?”

The actions of Miss. Maid made the woman sink into deep consciousness. To put it simply, it was a hypnosis technique which could allow the woman to gather her memory fragments from the past days.

”It was three months ago…” The old lady watched her shop for a while and said, ”I remembered…it was a man who sold his goods to me for a low price, claiming that these were crystals with a high quality. So I bought some. But they did not sell well… It seemed that a woman bought one of them.”

”Did you remember what the man looked like… Relax, I believe you can do it… relax.”

At the same time, Miss. Maid provided the old lady with the a pencil and paper and kept her fingers pointing at the womanʼs forehead.

It could be seen that the old lady was drawing something with pencil on the paper… It was a portrait of the salesman.

Later.

”Master, I think she has answered most of what she knows.” Miss. Maid walked to Luo Qiu with the paper in hand.

Luo Qiu moved his eyes from the jewelry to the paper for a glance… It was a lifelike drawing.

However, Luo Qiu had no idea about the salesman on the paper.

This man was quite a normal person with an obvious mole on his face while wearing a pair of glasses.

”Did the woman sell them all out?”

”No, only then one sold to Zhao Ru.” You Ye opened the box under the counter and added, ”The others are here… According to what the woman said, these are not easy to sell so that she placed the box under the counter.”

Luo Qiu picked up one from the box and touched. He said, ”They are different.”

”Maybe that one was mixed among them.”

Luo Qiu smiled and closed the box, ”Based on what we found, someone released them into the market on purpose, regardless of whether the black jewelry of Mr. Liu or the crystal kept by Zhao Ru. The necklaces contain the same power inside, which is similar to our hall. Both of them can dig into the deep heart of human beings… Interesting.”

You Ye said lightly, ”They canʼt be compared to the hall as these necklaces can only initiate wicked ideas but not inner peace.”

Luo Qiu smiled without saying anything.

”Master, Let me check if the salesman lives in this city.”

”No need.” Luo Qiu shook his head, ”We can meet him someday.”

Miss. Maid knew clearly that Luo Qiu had an accurate presentiment as a club owner. So she stopped asking.

Luo Qiu opened a counter and picked up a handmade bracelet with three amber-like stones while smiling.

He put the bracelet on You Yeʼs left hand.

”Letʼs go back.”

Luo Qiu left this shop with hands folded behind his back.

Of course, he paid the money.

…

…

In the police station.

”It was found from the components that this medicine is an anti-cancer pill called chidamide.”

”Anti-cancer medicine?” Ma Houde frowned…Now that Old Qin said it was anti-cancer medicine, he believed that it must be. So he continued, ”Old Qin, do you want to know where I got the pill?”

”No.”

”…” Ma Houde blinked his eyes to hide the embarrassment, he added, ”I found it in Gu Jiajieʼs room. It was ignored during the first search as it was under the carpet.”

Old Qin stood up suddenly and went out without a word. Ma Houde was confused and asked, ”Huh? Where are you going?”

”I want to do an autopsy on Gu Jiajie again.”

…

…

Shen Meihuan looked back constantly and quickened her pace. She couldnʼt relax until arriving at the rental house.

She calmed down when she didnʼt see anyone following her through the peep hole on the door.

Too nervous?

She couldnʼt help asking herself. After taking a deep breath, she put down the food she bought and then entered into the room.

Although her son could move now but it was far from being able to take care of himself.

”Stand up, my boy, Mom will help to wash your back.”

Shen Meihuan scrubbed his back with tearful eyes… Every time she saw the scars on the boyʼs body, she would become upset.

That man… was a devil. How could he hit the little kid?

”Why didnʼt you tell me the truth.” Shen Meihuan asked in a low voice… Obviously, no one responded to her.

”Itʼs fine now, we are going to leave.” She touched the boyʼs arm and whispered gently, ”We will have a new life. Just like how we left your father. You are my everything, this time I must…”

Her face changed when she touched her sonʼs head.

Because his hair started falling from Shen Meihuanʼs finger.

A handful of hair.

”How could this be? Oh, no.”

She tried to put the hair on his head again but grasp more hair…She couldnʼt stop it from dropping.

He… was decomposing gradually.
