Chapter 27: A Mysterious Letter and a Mysterious Woman

I went back to Ambow's room first, told her about my trip, and asked her to sleep at night without waiting for me, then I didn't take the car and ran straight to the barracks as a wolf.
I prefer to become a wolf and run freely than riding in a car, only then can I feel like a werewolf and be able to feel the power given to us by the moon goddess.
When I am running, my muscles become more fit with the movement. When I'm not in a hurry to get somewhere, I like to change my speed and run so I can feel the different states of the landscape around me. If I wasn't an alpha, I think I would be a botanist because I love these static and beautiful things. They do not express their feelings, but they will try to grow in the storm.
About half an hour later, I arrived at the barracks and Jason was already waiting there early. He told me that they had a problem with the soldiers of the White night clan.
"King, Alpha Barnett of White night clan wrote to inquire, he said that last time because White night clan warriors supported you and helped you out of the life-threatening situation, he made it a point to emphasize the life-threatening situation, and then he asked us for a million dollars."
I furrowed my brow and looked at Barnett's letter with some anger, "What if I don't say yes?"
"He said that he already knew that the one who accompanied you at today's ritual was not the real Luna, and he guessed that you must have had a conflict with Lord Luna and that if he gave this matter directly to King Adolf, our community would surely be watched and your position as Alpha would be lost."
I squeezed the letter paper tightly, "Damn Barnett! Why does he know about today?"
"King, the ritual is grand, we do not have a blackout on the news, there is a White night clan's mole to report to Barnett, and such things are normal!"
"If we don't give it to him, will he tell King Adolf? Unless he already has very accurate information! If we pay him, it means we admit that there is indeed such a problem in our community. Based on Barnett's character, I'm sure he won't report it to the king shortly, but at some point in the future, he will threaten us with it!"
"Yes, King, you are right, so this matter needs to be decided by you."
I was walking back and forth in the tent, my thoughts were so jumbled that I couldn't come up with a good solution, and this time I thought of Shirley, and I thought of Gina, and maybe Ambow. Of course, Albert is also a good choice.
But Gina and Ambow have a conflict, Shirley is now at Forsford's house, maybe she doesn't know what's going on outside, but it's a little late to go directly to Shirley at this time, so I took out my phone to call the number of my degree, but no one answered, I dialed Albert's phone, and that familiar voice came back to me.
"Oh! My dear king, may I ask what you want to do? I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you very much! And of course, Lord Forsford, Lady Shirley!"
"Albert, there's something I need your help with now, but of course it's late, so tomorrow you go straight to the barracks and see Jason! He'll tell you how to do it."
"Oh! Yes! My dear King, it is truly an honor to serve you, may I ask how is your health? How is Lord Luna these days ......"
I hung up the phone and said to Jason, "I'll go back and find some solutions, if you have any new information on your side please contact me in time, I will also let you know my progress."
"Yes, King."
When I returned to the mansion, I saw that the lights in Ambow's and Gina's rooms had gone out. I went straight into my room, and just as I opened the door, I saw a letter placed on the doorstep, which I assumed was another letter from Barnett and speculated about what he would say.
But when I opened the envelope, I found only a piece of paper inside, with a sentence written on it in a font that looked like a printer printout.
"See you in the Golden Hall at 10 p.m."
Signed by Shirley.
It just so happened that I had to ask Shirley something about Barnett, but it occurred to me that Shirley would be at Forsford's house by now. I called Forsford, and he told me that Shirley had left his mansion this afternoon in search of Gina.
I went to Gina's room, knocked on the door, and no one answered. The maid standing at the door said Gina had just gone out.
So I guessed that Shirley might have asked Gina to meet her, in which case I would meet Gina if I went to the Golden Hall now, but I didn't want to face her now, I was walking back and forth in my room, I was in a bit of an agitated mood tonight, I always felt that something very terrible would happen.
What would happen if it was Gina? I panicked a little, I don't know why I felt this emotion, but my heart especially wanted Gina to be safe. I suddenly had a crazy thought, what if the person who delivered the letter was not Shirley?
This thought terrifies me now that Barnett wants to threaten us, and if they capture Gina, I will have to resort to rescuing her, and Barnett wants money! Although I had said that between the interests of the pack and Luna, I would choose the pack without hesitation, now I was hesitant and in pain.
I thought as I locked my door and ran towards the golden hall. I ran fast, as my speed increased, I felt my inner panic growing, I felt as if the danger was getting closer and closer to me, my whole body was sweating, I felt my breathing had become chaotic, I tried to control my emotions and calm myself down.
The Golden Hall was not used recently, so no lights were turned on there and the artificial moon on the roof did not glow, I could feel that there was darkness around me, and such an atmosphere was easy to feel uneasy.
I walked through the door of the Golden Hall and saw that only the light in the room where Gina had stayed before was on, so I guess the person who wrote to me must be there!
I was cautious and did not go up immediately. I walked slowly up the stairs and suddenly, a scream came from that room and a somewhat thin figure ran out of the room and I could confirm that it was a woman.
She ran fast, she ran past me, I could smell the blood all over her, my eyebrows furrowed, I reached out to grab her, but she was running fast and I failed.
I wanted to know what happened in the room, and I also wanted to know who the woman was just now. Because she ran out covering her mouth and her face was bloody, I didn't get a good look at her.
I decided to check out the room before going after the woman because I could feel I was fast enough to catch up with her.
I went along the corridor and saw that the floor was covered with blood drops, the blood was fresh and should have been left by the woman just now. I stood in the doorway can smell the blood inside is very thick, thicker than the woman just now, to be precise, it should be this room is the source of blood, just now the woman is only stained with blood.
The door to the room was open, I walked in, trying to avoid the blood, I saw a person lying next to the dressing table, a woman, she had a good figure, showing skin that was not very white, as if she had just died, this I could be sure of.
I walked towards her, I observed that everything in the room around me was neat, and it was not a place where a fierce struggle had taken place. The woman's body was all covered with blood underneath, and it was still flowing slowly, and the blood was starting to come from her side.
I walked in to see and saw this woman's face, and it shocked me to no end!
Why her!
Shirley!
I stood by her side and confirmed, once again, that she was dead, and I could not ease my emotions for a long time.
If the woman just now is the murderer, I should go catch her immediately!
So without hesitation, I immediately turned into a wolf, jumped from the window, smelled the blood, and ran towards the woman.
The woman didn't run very far. I saw the woman at the end of the plain, standing on the edge of a cliff, doing nothing.
I turned back into a human and walked towards her.
"Did you kill Shirley?"
She didn't say anything, and I continued on my way.
"Does your silence mean you're the killer by default?"
"Shirley is Red night clan's most precious military expert, if you are the one who killed her, I will make you suffer the worst punishment!"
"I will catch you, even if you jump, I will find you!"
The woman kept standing there without saying anything, I felt puzzled, I quickened my pace towards her, I felt her back was familiar, but I was not sure.
The wind blowing up from the bottom of the cliff carried the smell of her blood in my face, and I was a little disgusted by the smell.
"You turn around, and if you voluntarily admit your mistake, I may make your punishment lighter."
Her body moved a little and I felt a little happy, I think it was my words that made her realize her mistake.
She slowly turned in my direction, I wanted to see her face, I wanted revenge for Gina!
Her hair was long, and the wind blew her long hair, making it all over her face, just the side of her face I still couldn't see clearly, but she stopped herself and I felt puzzled.
"Don't worry, I will make your punishment lighter, of course, you need to explain to me why, and it won't involve your family."
Her body was twitching and she was supposed to be crying, but she didn't make a lot of noise. I think if she is the murderer, Gina will not let her live, and what I just said is just to make her confess her mistake.
She kept crying, I didn't dare to go forward again, because I could feel her emotions, I was afraid she would jump and not see the killer, Gina would go crazy!
"You don't need to cry, what I said is true, I am the Alpha, please believe me, of course, killing is not an easy thing, I will reduce your punishment, but you also need to accept the punishment that you deserve."
Her body was trembling more and more, and I could already hear her voice more clearly, it was hoarse and low, I couldn't tell whose voice it was.
I felt anxious, I didn't dare to stimulate her, and I didn't dare to move forward. Just as I was trying to figure out how to solve this matter, the woman spoke.
