Trafford’s Trading Club

It seems that not only communications have been disrupted, but also power transmission in some areas has encountered problems. .

When Arnold walked into the public toilet, the surroundings were dark, with only an emergency light inside being on. Arnold shook his head and said something bad to himself, then quickly placed his backpack on the wash basin and began to take out clean clothes and put them on.

He was about to take off his shirt, but as if he thought of something, he just turned up less than half of his clothes and immediately put them down again. Then Arnold looked around carefully.

Finally, he seemed to see a dark shadow in the mirror... standing behind him!

Arnold was startled and turned around quickly. He suddenly felt a sense of horror behind him. He didn't know when, or even quietly, he was already standing here.

He could tell that this was a woman...but the woman seemed to have her head lowered, her long wet hair spread out in front of her face, and her body was completely soaked.

It was like a person being rescued on the shore after drowning. From the gap in the hair, Arnold could vaguely see a pair of eyes full of hatred.

A moment of fright made Arnold step back and hit the wash basin. His hands subconsciously held the wash basin to steady his body. At this moment, the embarrassed woman in front of her suddenly moved her arm!

It’s the kind of knife used in Western cuisine to cut steaks!

The western knife was directly pressed against Arnold's throat. The hard touch gave Arnold a chill. He didn't dare to move for a while, for fear that if the other party took a step further, he would stab the western knife into his throat. Then all that awaits him is death.

"Don't be impulsive!" Arnold shouted nervously!

"Where is it!" the other party screamed and raised his head at the same time.

The weak emergency light in the public toilet fell on her face, and her face was green, making her look like an evil spirit. Arnold took a breath and said in horror: "W-what is where?"

"Where!!"

The woman screamed again, rushed forward, pressed the western knife that came out of Arnold's throat, and stabbed directly into it.

But this blunt thing just pressed Arnold's skin and made his skin sink into the muscles. It didn't actually puncture but it was enough to scare a person!

"What... I don't know what you said..." Arnold took a deep breath, trying not to irritate the opponent, "Miss, you... did you recognize the wrong person?"

"You... this murderer! Robber!!" The woman was even more excited, as if she was crazy: "You killed Livia and took my money!! You heinous scum!!!"

"Li...Livia?" Arnold looked startled, and then said quickly: "You are the woman who escaped this morning!"

The western knife pushed in hard again, and Arnold could feel that the next time the woman exerted force again, even a non-sharp object could pierce his throat.

"You asked knowingly! You scumbag!! I will kill you!!"

"Relax! Relax! Listen to me! Listen to me! I'm not the person you say!!" Arnold grabbed the woman's arm in an instant.

As a man, he was much stronger than the woman in front of him. The two of them got entangled right here, and then threw themselves to the ground at the same time. But this woman went crazy, and Arnold couldn't hold her down.

"Scum!!"

"No!! Listen to me!! I really am not the person you said!" Arnold said hurriedly: "I am Arnold! Which scumbag you are talking about is Hailey! My brother! My twin brother! He has the same face as me, and then he does all kinds of bad things!! Please believe me!"

"Scum!!! You lied to me!!"

"I have evidence!! I have evidence!!" Arnold said with difficulty: "I really have evidence to prove it!"

Arnold finally restrained the woman. He directly pressed the woman's hands on the ground with both hands, and then pressed his body on the other woman's body, making the woman unable to move. Then he said excitedly: ""

"Listen! You can't resist now! As long as I shout a few words, I can find someone, and then ask them to help me call the police over and arrest you! You see, I didn't do this at all, I even tried to let Calm down! What is this for?"

The woman was still struggling and screaming!

"If you want to prove your innocence, if you also want to find the scumbag you talk about, just relax!"

"You think I will believe you scum!!"

"But you have to believe it now, don't you?" Arnold gasped: "At least you still have a little hope! But Miss, if you continue to go crazy, then I will have to call someone! In fact, I am completely There is no need to explain this to you here! You see, I have restrained you now and can call for arrest at any time. Then when you get to the police station, you may not be able to explain anything! Because inside, you may not be able to arrest you at all. To a fair trial! Right? Think about it! Calm down and think about it carefully. If I were the murderer, would it be necessary for me to tell you this here? "

The woman's resistance seemed to be less intense.

Arnold said quickly: "Think about it, if I am who you are talking about, why didn't the police take me away? Because I was not at home last night! The police will only believe it if they find enough proof. Me, no?"

The woman's reaction weakened again.

Seeing that his words seemed to be effective, Arnold relaxed a little: "Miss, please believe me, okay? I can prove what I said, and maybe I can help you a little bit."

The woman suddenly stopped moving.

Arnold breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little again. But at this moment, her daughter suddenly hit Arnold's eyes with her forehead. Arnold let out a pain, and the woman opened her mouth and bit into Arnold's palm.

She got a chance to resist, and suddenly broke away from Arnold's suppression, then quickly picked up the Western knife that fell on the ground, and stood up quickly.

Arnold also quickly got up. The two were in a stalemate with less than half a meter apart. Arnold grabbed the place where he was bitten... This woman was really cruel, and she bit her directly. off his skin.

At this time, someone walked into the public toilet.

When the woman saw this, she threw the western knife at Arnold with hatred. At the same time, she knocked away the man who came in and rushed out of the door.

"Hey! What the hell is going on? Bro, are you playing wild with your girlfriend here?"

Arnold smiled bitterly, grabbed a Western knife from the ground, mumbled a few words, lowered his head, ignored the man, and left quickly.

…

…

Along the way, Arnold looked back and looked around, looking wary.

He didn't get on the bus, and the bus system seemed to have stopped a lot at this time. He walked very quickly and walked for more than two hours before crossing the road and walking into the nearest slum.

Arnold seemed to be very familiar with this place. Finally, he came to a simple house.

He took out the key and looked around again before opening the door and walking inside. It seemed that the place had stopped because of the strange storm in the afternoon.

But not long after, there was light in the room, probably a candle or something like that was lit.

Arnold found something in the house and then returned to the hall. He had lit candles on the dining table before, so he pulled out his chair and sat at the dining table.

Arnold breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said: "Miss, are you there?"

He called into the darkness, but received no response. Arnold continued: "Miss, I didn't lock the door. You should be able to come in, right? I know where you are hiding... Come on, this is me I want you to see the evidence that proves that I am not the scum you call me."

As he said that, Arnold looked around nervously, finally put the photo album of the things he found on the dining table, and then opened it.

Arnold said slowly at this time: "I have an older brother, his name is Haili, and he has been a naughty person from the beginning..."

He pointed at a photo in the album: "This is him, and the person next to him is me."

This is an old photo. The photo should have been taken in an elementary school. In it, a pair of twin boys are looking at the camera at the same time and smiling.

Arnold opened the photo album page by page and slowly talked about his past, "...This was taken when I was in high school, after a football match. Haley wanted to be a football player since he was a child. It's just that he wanted to be a football player since he was a child. He was so trouble-making that he once got into a fight with someone and injured his knee. He originally had the opportunity to join a local football club that was pretty good, but he was given up because of his injury... This is our graduation photo from high school. .Miss...are you there?"

There was still no response in the darkness.

Arnold said to himself: "Hailey and I are like the front and back of a coin. He is what people call a bastard, trash. And I...and I have always been recognized by people. I rely on my own efforts, I got a scholarship, walked all the way out of this place, and got a lot of funding in college... This was taken at the opening ceremony of my university. It was taken by my father... Miss, are you here?"

There was still no response in the darkness.

Arnold sighed, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and closed the album directly.

He rubbed his forehead and held it up, but an abnormal sound appeared at this moment.

Arnold opened his eyes suddenly. In the flickering candlelight, the woman who attacked him in the public toilet suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the table.

She opened the photo album and flipped through the pages quickly, silently.

"Miss...you are really here." Arnold called softly.

The woman frowned at this time, looked up at Arnold, and suddenly asked: "Were you really not at home last night?"

"I was reviewing at school last night. I can find the person who will be my witness. I did come back in the morning!" Arnold said quickly.

The woman frowned again: "You also have a twin brother, why did Livia never mention it to me? Haven't you told her? As her boyfriend, you kept it secret from her?"

Arnold waved his hand quickly and said: "Miss! First, I don't know the Livia you are talking about, and second, she can't be my girlfriend!"

"You!" The woman stood up in excitement, but she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "White Hell."

"What?" Arnold was stunned and looked at the woman in confusion: "What hell? Miss, I know you should feel very bad now, but... at least it's not hell, right?"

But the woman sat down and stared at Arnold without blinking: "Do you rarely go home?"

Arnold said: "It's also been in the past two months. I've been busy with studies, experiments at school, and internships, so I haven't been back much of the time."

The woman continued: "This man... I'm talking about your brother. Does he have the key to your house?"

Arnold shook his head: "I'm not sure. He came over to my house once, and a few days later, I found that the spare key at home seemed to be missing."

The woman asked again: "Then why don't you change the door lock?"

Arnold smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing valuable at home. If we collect it again, if the key is missing and the door lock needs to be changed, my landlady will definitely get mad. Besides, it may be that she didn't know where to put it for a while. I couldn’t find it. Then I forgot about it.”

He frowned and looked at the woman, "You said, Livia is my girlfriend... but I don't know her at all. Wait, when did Livia say she had a boyfriend? They How did we meet?"

"White Hell." The woman said dejectedly, "She said she met you in this nightclub."

Arnold said quickly: "Miss! My financial situation does not allow me to go to that kind of place to spend money!"

"Don't talk yet, let me think for a moment." The woman shook her head and wiped her face.

She began to recall some of the things Livia had said to her about herself and her boyfriend.

She said they met in a nightclub and that night she drank too much and was pestered by some gangsters. Originally, the entanglement was nothing, since Livia was not a good girlfriend anyway, so at worst, she could just treat her as if she had been prostituted for nothing or bitten by a dog.

But unexpectedly, a man stepped forward to save him.

She said that this man was very handsome and a student at a prestigious university. He had won a scholarship through his own efforts.

She said that the other person was usually very busy studying, and she didn't want others to know about her affairs, so she would only make an appointment when the other person was not busy studying. Usually she waits for the other party to take the initiative to contact her.

She said that she had no future with him, but she enjoyed this sudden love...

If...if Arnold is really not the Arnold Livia said, that means Arnold's twin brother pretended to be him and used this identity to hook up with Livia.

Indeed...compared to the little bastard who doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, a famous college student and a future social elite can really attract the embrace of some ignorant women.

Livia is such an ignorant woman with a habit of daydreaming.

"Why did you come back to this place?" She stared at Arnold again, trying to read something from his expression.

Arnold smiled bitterly: "I said I would give you evidence... and I felt that you would not give up so easily, so after I came out of the toilet, I thought you might follow me, so I came back here. , where we lived before my parents passed away.”

"I'll take this thing." The woman stood up immediately, "But I won't believe you so easily... If, if I find out that you lied to me, I will definitely not let you go! I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost!”

She walked directly towards the door.

But before she took two steps, she fell to the ground.

Arnold quickly stood up and walked over, helping her sit up, "How are you?"

The woman just covered her ankle with her palms, showing a painful expression. Arnold frowned: "Did you sprain it in the toilet? You...you still walked such a long way?"

The woman said nothing and tilted her head stubbornly.

Arnold said: "Wait a minute, I'll get you some sprain medicine. My brother... Haili has been injured often in the past. He has a lot of them at home, but I don't know if they are expired or not."

With that said, Arnold quickly stood up and walked to a place where the candlelight could not reach, as if he was searching for something.

Soon after, Arnold came back with a spray in his hand. He took off the woman's shoes, then watched the other party's reaction, and then began to spray something: "It may be painful, but just bear with it for a while."

There was a power outage and the room was very hot. Arnold's face was covered with sweat. He adjusted his glasses and continued to concentrate on treating the woman's ankle injury.

Only then did the woman see a row of very eye-catching bite marks on Arnold's palm, and there was even blood...

She subconsciously said: "I'm sorry..."

"It's nothing...I was wronged. I would be the same way." Arnold responded casually.

The woman said: "I'm talking about the injury on your hand."

Arnold subconsciously raised his hand to look at it, then smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm a man, this little injury doesn't matter. But you, it's a blessing that you still walk so far with a sprain. How are you, are you feeling better? ?”

The flickering candlelight made Arnold's face become unusually soft.

It seemed that a certain string in her heart was plucked at this moment.

"My...my name is Caroline."

…

…

Ding dong...ding dong!

The doorbell rang for a long time, and the beautiful seaside apartment in front of him just opened the door. Luo Qiu walked out and found that it was Song Haoran standing in front of the door.

"Mr. Song?" Luo Qiu looked surprised: "Sorry, there was a power outage. I was busy looking for lighting, so you had to wait a little longer."

The actual situation is...the boss has just returned from the club and completed an interesting transaction.

"It's okay." Song Haoran smiled slightly, "Today's weather is indeed a bit weird, and there are some obstacles on my way."

Luo Qiu nodded, and after a moment of silence in front of the door, he said, "Is there any result?"

Song Haoran nodded, showed a sincere smile, and said softly: "Let's talk after we go in? My relatives..."
