Chapter 154: Number 075 - The Sound of the Kingdom Anthem (3)
"Hey, old man, is this the time to talk about this?"
"What else can you say besides this?"
"You"
"I will only destroy violently and bring evil thoughts, but I will not save people."
"But you can keep him alive until the one who can save the man comes along."
"I hope you're right. Give me two imps. β
ββ¦β¦ Alas...... Well, Little Red and Little Green lend you for the time being. Don't mess around. β
"I try."
On January 17, 2013, Christina's former agent was contacted. Audio file 07520130117av.
"Alright, Mr. Terling, we can get on talking."
"Do you have any friends who don't speak English who need to listen to our conversation?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Let's move on. What do you want to ask? β
"The matter of Hristianaarin, her death, her records and the recent series of disappearances. We've been in touch with you before. You refused. β
"And then you used this method to force me to comply."
"I'm sorry. But something happened to my friend, and I had to do something to speed up the investigation. β
"Huh...... Her death in an accident is regrettable, but it is true. The record is the planet and the agreement reached that there is no heir to the estate, and her agency has the right to deal with her work, so there is ...... The name used in Huaxia is the song of heaven, right? β
"Yes."
"This translation is good. β¦β¦ ...... in Heaven"
"Mr. Terling, please get down to business."
"I've said that, that's all I know. I'm a retired old man, and this time I'm just attending some promotional events as HRIS's agent. I don't care about the specific matters of the record, no one asks my opinion, and even what I say during the promotion is decided by the planet. I'm sure you've inquired, I'm of mixed race, my maternal grandmother was Chinese, and I live in the East for half of the year, so I'm half Chinese. Such an identity has no say in an all-Caucasian company. β
"Did Hristiana really die in an accident?"
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
"Do you have photos of the scene? There was no news, but I saw a picture of the stage in the report, and there should have been a reporter who took a picture of Hristiana's injury or even death, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Mr. Terling, your grandson's life is still in our hands. According to the Eastern concept of ghosts and gods, if a person is in contact with ghosts for too long, even if he does not die, his lifespan will be reduced. β
"Whew...... Okay, I'll get you. β
Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ...... Learn about Suosuo...... Knock, boom, boom......
ββ¦β¦ That's it. β
Sand...... Sand......
"You call this an accident? Even people who don't understand criminal investigation can see that the fracture of this wooden stick is not naturally broken. β
"It's an accident. In those days, resistance to racial discrimination was not a crime, but arrests, repressions, and special regulations for people of color were. Hehe, of course, this is what is said in public, in fact, implicit discrimination still exists to this day. β
"You mean ......"
βhrisβ¦β¦ She's just a little girl who can sing. When I first met her, she was fifteen years old and had a lovely smile. She has never done anything racist, she doesn't understand these things at all, she just concentrates on singing every song, cooperating with the company's publicity work, and participating in activities. Just before Christmas 1982, the company rejected an offer from a black community and opted instead to have Hris, free of charge, to sing for a white-owned company. We didn't expect this to happen. Before that, no one took it seriously. I don't know about it, Hris's doesn't know, and there aren't many people in the company who do. The police caught the prisoner on the spot, a teenager who had been hired to set up the stage and get to know the people of the community. Unless he said it, no one knew it was a premeditated incident. The police released him and treated it as if it were an accident. It was a decision made by the company, the planet and the company that held the party, the two companies, and the police. I wasn't qualified to be part of the decision, and Hris's parents didn't know anything about it from start to finish. They couldn't afford to be the trigger for racism and made that decision...... Me, and Hris's parents, those fans......"
"Mr. Terling."
"Oh...... I remember Hris's singing voice, and she was singing to NdillalaysLovetheorld, and the stage collapsed, as if the player had pressed the stop button and her voice had stopped. When the ruins were dug up, she was still breathing and vomiting blood, but she couldn't make a sound. The kid screamed in fright, crying that he just wanted something to happen on stage, to disgrace Hris and smash the show. He didn't expect to kill Hris...... Hris's must have heard it, I don't know if Hris's love for the world at that moment......"
"So she died with a grudge."
"Hris, she's just a little girl who loves to sing, she ......"
"I'm going to look at her relics, and I'm going to see the master tape she recorded at the time. Is there a video tape for the show? And those photos taken by journalists, how many more can you find? Can you find the negatives? β
ββ¦β¦ I'll figure it out. I hope you will keep your promise and release my grandson by then. β
"If things go well."
On January 19, 2013, a call was received. Phone call recording 201301192323mp3.
"I got what you wanted. Come to my house now. I want to fix this as soon as possible. β
"Okay."
January 20, 2013, to the accommodation. Audio file 07520130110av.
"That's it, only these songs are included in the heavenly anthem."
"I need to play it. Do you have a playback device? β
"It can't be! I know it's dangerous, how could I allow you to play? β
"Then I can only bring them back to play, confirm that the incident is resolved, and I will release your grandson."
"It's not the same as saying yes! I've done what you wanted, and you should let my grandson go!" He's just coming of age......"
"I'm talking about, if things go well, what about the relics? And what about the videos, photographs, and negatives of the time? β
"Nope. When her parents died, those things were auctioned, and I don't know where the things left behind were, where can I find them for you? The footage was destroyed on the spot, and they would not let the evidence out. The last time I gave you a photo, it was a reporter who secretly hid it and tried to extort the company. No other photographs, no negatives. β
"Then it can't be helped."
"You...... You can't ...... like that."
"I can, because I have the ability."
"Whew"
