Chapter 56: The Difference of a Thought
"Hehe......" Shao Jiaying let out an almost miserable wry smile, and then looked up to the sky and sighed, "Perhaps, this is karma in the underworld! Li Dan actually dug up my father's grave in order to take revenge on me and chop off my hand! Perhaps, this is God's deliberate arrangement!"
Oh......
Hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately understood, it turned out that the person who placed the blade for Li Dan back then was not Shao Jiaying in front of him, but Shao Jiaying's father!!
"Eighteen years ago, before the finals, we practiced in the music hall of No. 2 High School according to the regulations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 "My practice time was around 3 p.m., and I had already finished practicing early. However, in the evening, my father suddenly said that he had left something in the auditorium, and that he wanted me to stay in the hotel for a while, and he would go and retrieve it!
At that time, when I saw my father's panicked look, I thought that he had lost something important, and I was also anxious, so I wanted to go with him, but he refused strongly!
"My father had rarely spoken to me so forcefully before, so I was very impressed. Since he wouldn't let me go, I had to wait in the hotel.
"I was just looking for something, but I waited left and right, and my father just 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 very pale and uneasy, and I asked him a number of things, such as what he had lost, whether he had found it, why he had come back so late, and so on, but he did not answer a word, but kept saying that I should play well tomorrow, and play well!
"At that time, I was also very wooden, although I saw that my father was not quite right, but 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 finish the competition seriously, but I also played at a super level, unexpectedly squeezed 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 list of winners in the finals!
"Li Dan was already very famous before she competed, and she was the favorite to win the championship in that competition! She obviously entered the finals, but why is her name not on the list?
Later, I started to ask, and I remember very well that it was Luo Meina's mother who told me that Li Dan had an accident the night before the finals and had been hospitalized!
"Until that time, I didn't notice anything wrong, and I was glad that Li Dan had withdrawn from the competition, otherwise, I would never have been able to squeeze into the top three!
"And yet...... If I hadn't gone to the toilet before attending the awards ceremony, I would have lived in peace 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 something? Li Dan's mother had unkempt hair, dirty and torn body, and she seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. With tears in her eyes, she was making a gesture to the people of the organizing committee, as if she was begging for something.
Curious, I stood behind them and listened. It was at that time that I finally learned that Li Dan's withdrawal was caused by a blade inserted upside down in the piano, and one of her fingers was even cut off!
"After hearing the news, I thought of my father, he said that he was going back to No. 2 Middle School to look for something, and the night that was very abnormal happened to be when Li Dan's finger was cut. Such a coincidence, I had to associate 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......! Where can you still 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, everything is just a coincidence." However, the reality was cruel, and as we were packing up in the hotel and getting ready to go home, a box of things fell out of my father's backpack, and it was...... Is that...... A whole box of Utility Blades!!"
Speaking of which, because she was too emotional, Shao Jiaying was already teary-eyed and couldn't cry.
"It's a very professional utility blade, both sharp and strong, if you plug it upside down in the keys, not only can't you find it, but it's also very harmful!" After a pause, Shao Jiaying continued, "Our family didn't study art, this kind of utility knife is expensive, and it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to appear in our family......! That day, in the hotel, my father and I had a big argument, and finally, after my constant questioning, my father finally ...... Confessed...... Confessed everything he did to Li Dan!
"I remember, at that time, I was about to go crazy! I was really going crazy! The pain and pressure I endured were probably no worse than Li Dan! I felt so ridiculous, so ridiculous, I actually used such a miserable and immoral method to get the third place, what kind of face do I have?
"My father was also frightened, that day, he even knelt down for me, begging me, don't make a noise about the matter!" Woo woo ......" Shao Jiaying cried so much that she couldn't cry, "My parents divorced early, and since I was sensible, my father has been taking me." For my sake, he never found another companion in his life. For me to learn the piano, he did everything he could, and sometimes, he had to work three jobs a day, and he didn't even rest at night......
"But such a loving father committed such an unforgivable crime with his own hands! I was conflicted in my heart, I didn't want anything to happen to Li Dan, and I didn't want my father to go to prison because of it! It was under that kind of painful torture that I finally went to college, and then I found a way to go abroad.
"I haven't touched the piano since that piano competition!" Shao Jiaying said sadly, "When I see the piano, I think of Li Dan!
Zhao Yu listened carefully, he couldn't imagine that things would be so tortuous back then. How similar are Li Dan's father and Shao Jiaying's father? They both did everything for their beloved daughter. However, Shao Jiaying's father chose an unwise and extreme way, which led to a series of tragedies later!
"God's eyes are bright!" Shao Jiaying wiped her tears with her own towel and said, "In the dark, maybe there is really karma!"
"Eight years ago, my father fell down the stairs of his house, broke his lumbar vertebrae, 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, but I deeply knew that my father couldn't let go of Li Dan's affairs until he died! His heart was full of guilt and self-blame, and he couldn't forgive himself in this life!"
One thought is a big mistake!
Faced with the truth of the matter, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh for a while, if he had been more cautious in thinking about the problem at the beginning, I am afraid that he would not have been framed and died so miserably.
"Officer Zhao!" Shao Jiaying stopped sobbing and said, "When the truth is told, I feel much more at ease! I think my father should have the same intention, but he just didn't have the courage."
"In this way, I will hire the best team of lawyers to defend Li Dan and do my best to strive for a good result!
"As for Li Dan's mother, you can rest assured, I will arrange a corresponding team to better take care of the elderly!
"I know that between me and Li Dan, it's 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!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu leaned back on the chair in a dejected manner, feeling both relieved and tired. Although the chopping case can be brought to an end, the merits of this can never be sorted out.
