Trafford's Trading Club

Long Xiruo finally let Cheese go when he calmed down after a long while.

She took them away from the gymnasium and said seriously, "Xiaojiang has told me everything."

"Master Long, Wind-Chasing Wolf..." Cheese raised his head again.

Long Xiruo said calmly, "Wind-Chasing Wolf should be the guy confirming if he killed anyone or not, not you. Don’t worry, I will find him. But..."

Long Xiruo continued seriously, "If he really did that, I will not let him go, we have rules."

Cheese nodded.

Since Long Xiruo already knew about the case... Cheese could not meddle in this case as per the rules of the monsters.

"You guys go to school." Long Xiruo waved her hand, "It may cause suspicion if you stay here... I will go and see if the policeman has any clues."

Cheese nodded.

Long Xiruo asked suddenly, "Cheese, did you... go anywhere or get in touch with anything recently?"

"No, no." Cheese shook his head immediately and replied in a hurry.

Long Xiruo squinted, but she didn’t ask more about that, "Okay. Take care of yourself and remember to let me know if you encounter anything or difficulty."

"Understood, Master Long." Cheese nodded, "Then I will go back with Nini and Xiaojiang."

"Okay." Long Xiruo nodded.

She looked at the back of Cheese and frowned, "What is this uneasy feeling? Why Cheese is so...odd?"

But she didn’t doubt for long... because she had to handle something more important.

She had to get confirmation if the policeman had obtained any clues that were not good to these small monsters.

...

Long Xiruo arrived at the scene avoiding all the cameras easily... It was the place where Cheese and Xiaojiang separated with Wind-Chasing Wolf and also the first place of the murder.

Standing on the other platform, Long Xiruo squinted and her pupils turned a broken golden. Her sight started to magnify until it could be compared with a precision instrument. She observed carefully to avoid missing any tiny clues.

Turning her sight---she inferred the movements of these small monsters as well as the place that the deceased had stayed last night based on the tiny signs.

"What’s the matter... only Wind-Chasing Wolf and the deceased were on a pipe at last, but the human died. With this distance..." Long Xiruo frowned.

She tried to think about all possibilities. If the third party was the murderer, then he should be able to fly as there were no signs left on the ground.

If no third party existed... then it was Wind-Chasing Wolf that slashed the deceased with an air wave with his claws---although it was very difficult for him at such a young age.

But maybe he could have done that on his own effort as he had been earning his own living outside all the time.

Long Xiruo pulled a piece of hair, leaving it in the air casually.

The hair suddenly turned into a flash of light like a soul snake. It circled on the platform and raised its "head".

"Go, follow the footprints of Wind-Chasing Wolf to see where he is."

Then, Long Xiruo left the gymnasium. She intended to go to the place where the forensic doctors worked to check the dead.

...

...

Besides the gymnasium which was used as the "base", Wind-Chasing Wolf’s home was at the rooftop of an old building. It was a small place filled with many pipes and buckets.

One could raise one’s head to see the sky and look at the city.

Wind-Chasing Wolf often stood on the fence and said that it was the best place to have an aerial view. It was a good place that had cool wind and cold water.

But Cheese knew that Wind-Chasing Wolf was not same as him. There was a place for him to go back, even though it was dark and humid, his family would wait for him there.

Cheese was standing on the place where Wind-Chasing Wolf usually stood on, looking at the city silently.

"Cheese, we didn’t find Wind-Chasing Wolf... It seems he didn’t come back."

Nini and Xiaojiang scratched their heads below after looking for Wind-Chasing Wolf separately. Nini seemed still hadn’t forgiven Xiaojiang for his "betrayal" and she didn’t stand as close as before with him.

Xiaojiang knew that reason, but he didn’t mind that--- Rationally, Cheese knew that Xiaojiang was not wrong, but emotionally...

Cheese shook his head, and jumped off the fence. He said, "Wind-Chasing Wolf is too fast. If he is hiding from us, we can’t find him."

Iron Whistle who had been following Cheese these days lowered his head, and touched his leg, as if he felt Cheese’s disappointment.

"Cheese, your wound is bleeding again!" Nini pointed to Cheese’s arm and said loudly.

He was hurt by Wind-Chasing Wolf’s claw last night. Cheese picked up his sleeve and took a look at the wound, saying, "It is not serious."

Nini put down her schoolbag at once, "I have a bandage, let me change it for you."

Cats and mice were natural enemies... but at least, Xiaojiang knew that Nini had no tendency to feel superior toward Cheese like the other cat monsters.

But when Nini took off the bandage, she found that the wound was much serious than they imagined, "How... how Wind-Chasing Wolf hurt you so bad! You didn’t even say anything!"

"Leader... Wind-Chasing Wolf is always like that." Xiaojiang signed, "He said nothing and no one know where he is now. If he didn’t do that, why did he run away?"

Cheese didn’t say anything. Iron Whistle blinked and stretched his tongue to lick Cheese’s wound on his arm.

Cheese didn’t notice that... Iron Whistle raised his tail slightly.

"Xiaojiang, don’t come to a conclusion before we understand the whole picture," Cheese said.

"Is it not clear enough now?"

Xiaojiang seemed to be a little emotional, "Causing such big trouble... A man was killed! I am not sure if Master Long will blame us. I will definitely be punished by my parents if they know this... As I, I said at first, we shouldn’t have let Wind-Chasing Wolf be the leader! Cheese, should have been..."

"Stop! Don’t say that!"

"Am I wrong?" Xiaojiang continued, "He always says that he will be known by others, but he never thinks carefully about anything, just causes trouble! And getting us into trouble as well... Such a guy, it would have been better if I never knew him!"

"Xiaojiang!" Cheese glared.

Xiaojiang huddled up, but continued stubbornly, "Did... did I say anything wrong? You tried to save him to avoid him being found, but what did he do? He hurt you! Who knows if he would hurt me and Nini in future... Such a guy, I’d prefer that he would be caught by Master Long and beaten into his original appearance!"

Bang!

Suddenly, Xiaojiang was struck by something hard, it was an unopened canned luncheon meat.

It just struck Xiaojiang’s head.

Wind-Chasing Wolf! Cheese saw that he was just standing on the water tank not far from them and glared at them.

Xiaojiang was so scared that he hid behind Cheese, "What... what are you doing?"

"Do what?" Wind-Chasing Wolf sneered, "Didn’t you say that I will also hurt you? Come on, let me see if you are harder than the iron can!"

"Wind-Chasing Wolf, come down and have a talk here, Xiaojiang didn’t mean that...Would you calm down?" Cheese took a deep breath and said.

"Calm down..." Wind-Chasing Wolf sneered, "Calm down for what? I am just the guy who doesn’t think carefully about everything and got you involved in trouble! Xiaojiang, stand out if you are a man! Let me see your ability!"

"Wind-Chasing Wolf! Don’t say it like that!" Cheese raised his arm and stood in front of Xiaojiang.

"Do you want to cover for him?"

Wind-Chasing Wolf suddenly jumped up, "Cheese! I am not as great as you. You can make yourself look like a nice guy even after being hurt... Since you want to be a nice man, then let me slash your right arm too!"

Purely on force, Wind-Chasing Wolf should be the most powerful one of the juvenile group.

The attack was quick and came from the upper side with the cold flash of a claw. Cheese felt a flash of cold over his body---As Wind-Chasing Wolf’s claw approached Cheese’s head, Nini and Xiaojiang didn’t manage to react, but black shadow flashed out suddenly!

The shadow stabbed into Wind-Chasing Wolf’s heart exactly!

It was Iron Whistle! It was his tail!

Although Wind-Chasing Wolf moved quickly, he could not dodge it! The end of the tail still stabbed into his shoulder!

He screamed and fell down instantly.

"Iron Whistle, stop!" Cheese grasped Iron Whistle’s tail.

Then Iron Whistle pulled back his tail unwillingly and retreated to Cheese’s back... Wind-Chasing Wolf stood up staggeringly with a pale face and looked at these small monsters in front of him.

"I... I will not let this go!" Wind-Chasing Wolf gritted his teeth and jumped out of the fence.

It was the twenty-third floor, and he disappeared after jumping out of the fence.

Cheese stood on the fence again. He looked at the city... but the mood was totally different from that several minutes ago.

He looked at Nini who didn’t know what to do, and Xiaojiang who was still in panic as well as the ignorant Iron Whistle... Suddenly, he found that he was not mature enough to handle such cases.

...

...

There were some members of the forensic team around the ground where the body was placed on. They were in deep sleep.

Doctor Long, from the pet hospital, didn’t wear the white gown, but checked the body that was just carried here.

Furthermore, there was also another body here, but it was without a head.

"It was really cut by sword..." Long Xiruo frowned. She looked at the body from the gymnasium as well as the other one with no head.

She didn’t know why they were placed together but she found something from the body with no head.

She stared at the cut of the belly on the body, and rubbed the cut with her fingers slightly... There was a trace of residual smell here.

It was related to the case she was busy with these days---Some monsters body were found in the suburbs, and there was the same smell on them too.

An extremely fierce smell...
