"Haha..." Shao Jiaying gave an almost miserable smile, then looked up to the sky and sighed, "Maybe this is the karma in the dark!
"In order to take revenge on me and chop off my hand, Li Dan dug up my father's grave! Perhaps, this is God's deliberate arrangement!"
oh…
Hearing this, Zhao Yu suddenly understood. It turned out that the person who placed the blade on Li Dan was not Shao Jiaying in front of him, but Shao Jiaying's father! !
"Eighteen years ago, before the finals, we practiced piano in the music auditorium of No. 2 Middle School as required." Shao Jiaying recalled, "My practice time was scheduled around three in the afternoon, and I had finished practicing early.
“But, at night, my father suddenly said that he had left something behind in the auditorium and asked me to stay in the hotel for a while while he went to get it back!
“At that time, when I saw my father’s panic, I thought he had lost something important, and I became anxious. I wanted to go with him, but he refused forcefully!
"My father rarely spoke to me so forcefully before, so I was very impressed. Since he didn't let me go, I had to wait in the hotel.
"I was just looking for something, but I waited and waited, but my father didn't come back. It wasn't until about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night that my father finally returned to the hotel.
"However, my father's face was extremely pale and he looked uneasy. I asked him many things, such as what was lost? Did he find it? Why did he come back so late? But he didn't answer a word. I just kept mumbling, asking me to compete well tomorrow, compete well!
"I was also very dull at that time. Although I saw that something was wrong with my father, I didn't think much about it and still participated in the finals step by step.
“During the finals, my mind was on the piano. Not only did I complete the competition seriously, but I also performed beyond my level. I unexpectedly made it into the top three and won the third place in the competition!
“Later, when the scores were posted, I was surprised to find that Li Dan’s name was not on the final list of winners!
"Li Dan was already very famous before she entered the competition and was the favorite to win that competition! She obviously made it to the finals, but why was her name not on the list
"Later, I started asking. I remember clearly that it was Luo Meina's mother who told me that Li Dan had an accident the night before the final and was hospitalized! But she didn't know what happened. .
"Until that moment, I didn't notice anything was wrong, and I was very happy. Fortunately, Li Dan withdrew from the competition. Otherwise, I would never have been able to get into the top three!
"However... it's also a coincidence! If I hadn't gone to the toilet because of nervousness before attending the award ceremony, I might have lived with peace of mind for the rest of my life!
"At that time, when I came back from the toilet, I happened to see Li Dan's mother arguing with the organizing committee about what
"Li Dan's mother's hair was disheveled, her body was dirty, and she seemed to have aged a lot. With tears in her eyes, she was bowing to the people of the organizing committee, as if she was begging for something.
"Out of curiosity, I stood behind them and listened.
It was at that time that I finally learned that Li Dan's withdrawal was actually caused by a blade inserted upside down in the piano, and one of her fingers was even cut off!
"After hearing the news, I suddenly thought of my father. He said he wanted to go back to No. 2 Middle School to look for something, and the very unusual night happened to be when Li Dan's finger was cut.
Such a coincidence forced me to connect the murderer with my father!
"That day, I didn't even know how I stood on the podium to receive the award. I felt like everything in front of me was an illusion! My father kept asking me to smile, but I...where else could I Can you laugh
"Alas!" Shao Jiaying sighed, "If the matter stops here, maybe I still have a little luck. I hope that Li Dan's matter has nothing to do with my father, and everything is just a coincidence.
"However, the reality is cruel. When we were packing up our gifts in the hotel and preparing to go home, a box of things fell out of my father's backpack. It was... that was... a whole box of utility blades!! "
At this point, Shao Jiaying's eyes were full of tears because she was too emotional, and she burst into tears.
"That is a very professional art blade. It is sharp and strong. If it is inserted upside down into the piano keys, it will not only be impossible to find, but also very harmful!" After a moment of pause, Shao Jiaying continued, "We don't have one at home. As an art student, this kind of utility knife is expensive, and it is absolutely impossible for us to have such a thing in our house!
"So...that day, in the hotel, my father and I had a big argument. Finally, under my constant questioning, my father finally...admitted...admitted everything he had done to Li Dan!
"I remember that at that time, I was almost going crazy! I was really going crazy!
"The pain and pressure I endured is probably no worse than that of Li Dan! I feel that I am so ridiculous, so absurd, that I used such a cruel and unethical method to get third place. I still have What face
"My father was also frightened. That day, he even knelt down for me and begged me not to make the matter public! Wuwu..." Shao Jiaying cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound, "My parents divorced early, and I am sensible." From that time on, my father has been taking care of me.
"For me, he never found a partner in his life. For me to learn piano, he devoted everything he had. Sometimes, he had to work three jobs a day and didn't even take a rest at night...
"But such a loving father personally committed such an unforgivable crime! At that time, I almost collapsed.
"I was full of contradictions in my heart. I didn't want anything to happen to Li Dan, nor did I want my father to go to jail for this! Under that kind of painful torture, I finally went to college, and then I found a way to go abroad.
"Since that piano competition, I have never touched a piano again!" Shao Jiaying said sadly, "When I see the piano, I think of Li Dan! I think of her fingers! I think of the blood stains on the piano! "
Zhao Yu listened carefully. He could not have imagined that things would be so twists and turns back then.
How similar are Li Dan's father and Shao Jiaying's father? They also devoted everything they had to their beloved daughter.
However, Shao Jiaying's father chose an unwise and extreme method, which led to a series of tragedies!
"God has sharp eyes!" Shao Jiaying wiped her tears with her own scented towel and said, "Somewhere, maybe there is really karma!
"Eight years ago, my father fell down the stairs of his home and broke his lumbar spine and became paralyzed! Less than two years ago, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away not long after!
"Before he died, he couldn't even speak. However, I knew deeply that my father would never let go of Li Dan until his death! His heart was full of guilt and self-blame, and he would never be able to forgive himself in this life. !”
One wrong thought can turn into a big mistake!
Facing the truth of the matter, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh. If he had considered the problem more carefully, he might not have been framed and died so miserably.
"Officer Zhao!" Shao Jiaying stopped sobbing and said, "After telling the truth, I feel much more at ease! I think my father also had the same intention, but he just didn't have the courage.
"Let's do this, I will hire the best team of lawyers to defend Li Dan and try my best to strive for a good result!
"As for Li Dan's mother, you can rest assured that I will arrange the corresponding team to take better care of the elderly!
"I know that the issue between me and Li Dan is not about money. I don't pray that Li Dan can forgive us. I just hope that this matter will not develop in a bad direction!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yu leaned back on his seat slumpedly, feeling both relieved and tired.
Although the hand-chopping case can come to an end, the rights and wrongs involved will never be clear.
