"If the small half of the finger is not recovered, Dandan's hand will not be able to be completely sutured!" The old man waited for a long time before wiping away his tears and continued, "After the doctor performed surgery on Dandan to repair the finger, At that time, Dandan's father knelt down in front of the doctor and said that no matter what, Dandan's hand could not be disabled. That was the only thought of our family!
"However... after the operation, the doctor still told us that Dandan's finger tendons were seriously damaged and could not be repaired. The child's flexion and extension function of the middle finger would be seriously affected!
"Do you know what this means to a child whose life depends on the piano? Being unable to flex or extend her fingers is tantamount to a direct sentence of death for her!
"Hearing the bad news, the child's father had a heart attack and passed away on the spot! If the rescue had not been timely, the old man might have left us at that time!"
"Then... what happened next?" Zhao Yu heard the old man's narration. In addition to feeling sympathy for the misfortune of the child goddess' family, Zhao Yu also had bigger questions in his mind.
"Later, of course I went to the competition organizing committee and called the police!" the old man said blankly, "but at that time the finals of the piano competition had already begun, and so many provincial and municipal bureau leaders came. There are also experts from various universities.
“The organizer didn’t want Dandan’s incident to affect other players, so they suppressed the matter and asked the police to wait until the game was over before getting involved in the investigation!
"I'm just a woman who doesn't understand anything. The child and her father are both lying on the hospital bed. What else can I do? What else can I do besides obey their arrangements!?" The old man's face was full of regret. , “When the game is over and the tea is cold, where can we arrest them
“In the end, the police only made a symbolic inquiry into the case, and nothing more happened from then on!
“The only thing we figured out was that the thing that cut off my daughter’s finger should be a sharp and hard blade, and the blade was placed upside down in the gap between the black keys of the piano!
"Through Dandan's memories, the position where the blade is placed is a rarely used position. Only the song selected by Dandan will be played there, and it is also a very hard accent!"
"Oh? So, the person who placed the blade was specifically targeting your daughter?" Zhao Yu asked.
"It should be so. Even if other players reach that position, it will not be an accent. Even if they are scratched by the blade, it will not be as serious as my daughter!" the old man replied.
"In this case, the person who placed the blade must be one of the other nine contestants who entered the finals!
"Someone is jealous of your daughter's talent, or is worried that your daughter's grades are better than his, so they do this!
"This is too damaging!" Zhao Yuyi said angrily, "When your daughter's hand was cut, this person must have been watching secretly!
"As soon as you left, he ran out and wiped away the traces, took away the blade, and didn't even leave half of your daughter's finger behind!
"This person is so sinister!"
"We also know that this is the case," the old man shook his head helplessly, "but there were no cameras in that era, and the murder weapon was not found. Moreover, the interval was too long, and the fingerprints and blood stains were long gone. There is no proof. If there is evidence, how can we continue to investigate? Although the old man petitioned many times after he recovered from his illness, the case was finally dropped."
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu thought to himself, if this matter were carried out today, the insidious villain would definitely be found out. This kind of person is so abominable!
"Although Dandan's finger was injured at first," the old man continued to recall, "but after a period of physical therapy, it recovered well. Not only did the missing part grow back, but the finger was not completely unable to flex and extend. It's just a little bit laborious.
“However, it wasn’t until a long time later that her dad and I realized that Dandan had hurt not just her fingers, but her heart!
"The cutting of hands gave Dandan serious fear!
"At first she could try to play the piano a few times, but then gradually she no longer dared to play. At the worst point, she would even tremble all over when she saw the piano!
"Her father and I spent a lot of money on many psychiatrists, but Dandan's illness was never cured.
"After several years of this, our family of three has exhausted all our energy, spent all our money, and has completely lost hope.
"This incident was a huge blow to Dandan's father. The old man couldn't get sick from then on, and he passed away soon after and left us!
"Alas!" The old man sighed, "This is all fate! Fortunately, my daughter is self-reliant and is not afraid of hardship and hardship. We, the two of us, have managed to keep this family together! But now I..."
The old man might want to say that he had cancer, but after thinking about it, he did not speak out. Instead, he said instead: "Officer, look, when you see my daughter, you must not mention the piano. ! Just think of it as okay!"
Speaking of sadness, the old man choked and sobbed again.
Zhao Yu nodded, feeling very sympathetic to their family. It would be fine if they were born poor, but they clearly had a great future, but unfortunately it was ruined. This kind of experience is even more regrettable.
If the hand cutting had not happened, maybe their family could have lived a life like Luo Meina or Li Xinhua, or even better than them!
"In that case," Zhao Yu asked again, "then why didn't you go back to your hometown? The situation was so difficult, and you didn't find any relatives or anything to help?"
"You don't know something!" the old man said helplessly, "Dandan's father is too stubborn, and all our relatives have been offended by him.
"After selling his ancestral home, he just came out with a sigh of relief! How could he have the nerve to go back?"
oh…
No wonder the child prodigy and her family seemed to have disappeared from the world after the piano competition!
It turns out that the real situation is like this, which Zhao Yu never expected before.
However, although the incident regarding the child goddess was unexpected, the incident regarding the hand chopping case was exactly the opposite. Everything the old man said was enough to prove that Zhao Yu's investigation direction was correct.
According to what the old man said, this child goddess has been listed by Zhao Yu as the number one suspect in the hand-chopping case!
His reason couldn't be more valid. Li Dan's life was ruined in that piano competition, and she had every reason to take revenge on those who might have framed her!
Li Dan injured his right hand, and all the victims of the hand chopping case had their right hands chopped off! There can't be some connection between the two, right
Zhao Yu has seen the case of Li Dan's mother. Her mother had the surgery in May last year, just after the two hand-chopping cases were concluded. Then after 9 months of chemotherapy, her mother had entered the recuperation period, so she had the opportunity to take action again and carried out the third hand-chopping case!
In addition, it was thought that she had worked in a theater troupe and her family lived in such a sensitive location.
Zhao Yu felt more and more that this time, he had really touched upon the truth of the hand-chopping case! The murderer he was searching for so hard should be the child prodigy—Li Dan! !
