Silence of The Wolf

'If this doesn’t move you, I suggest you check your pulse.' –John Kay, frontman of Steppenwolf (born in East Prussia in 1944)

On the edge of the vast forests of Russia, where wolves still roam, lies a little cottage surrounded by a big, high fence. This is where Peter lives with his grumpy Grandfather. Grandfather will not let Peter go out into the forest. Peter has a friend, the lovable Duck (a Runner Duck in this version), with whom he hangs around Grandfather's yard. A Bird (a Hooded Crow in this version) with a broken wing arrives in the yard. Bird is very impatient with Peter and signals to go into the forest. His heart beating fast, Peter tiptoes into the cottage and reaches over his sleeping Grandfather and the snoring, fat, pet Cat. Ever so carefully Peter takes the keys to the gate.

In the silence of the night, the demonic wolf devours the moon, after which the lights of the Heavenly Pavilion go out one by one. Zhan Zhao, the "Imperial Cat", and Bai Yu Tang, the "Golden Mouse", work together to detect a series of strange deaths in Bianliang City and return the people to a peaceful life.
