Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Answer Near At Hand

"The small half of the finger has not been recovered, and Dandan's hand cannot be completely sutured!" The old man waited for a long time, then wiped away his tears, and continued, "After the doctor operated on Dandan to repair the finger, At that time, Dandan's father knelt down to the doctor, saying that no matter what, Dandan's hand could not be disabled. That was the only thought in our family!

"However...after the surgery, the doctor still told us that Dandan's finger tendons were damaged beyond repair, and the flexion and extension of the child's middle finger would be seriously affected!

"Do you know what this means to a child whose life is the piano? If her fingers cannot be flexed or stretched, it is tantamount to a death sentence for her!

"Hearing this bad news, the child's father had a heart attack, and died on the spot! If the rescue was not 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 prodigy's family, a bigger question arose in Zhao Yu's mind.

"Later, of course I went to the organizing committee of the competition and called the police!" The old man said with a blank face, "But at that time, the finals of the piano competition had already begun, and so many provincial and municipal leaders came. There are also experts from various universities. The organizers did not want Dandan’s incident to affect other contestants, so they suppressed this incident and asked the police to investigate after the competition!

"I'm just a woman who doesn't understand anything. The child and her father are lying on the hospital bed. What else can I do? What else can I do except listen to their arrangements!?" The old man's face was full of remorse , "Where can we go to arrest people after the game is over and the tea is cold? The police just made a symbolic inquiry about the case, and there has been no more follow-up since then!"

"The only thing we've figured out is that what cut off my daughter's finger was supposed to be a sharp, hard blade that was thrown upside down in the gap between the black keys of the piano!

"According to Dandan's recollection, the position where the blade is placed is an uncommon position. Only the piece chosen by Dandan will be played there, and it is also a very strong accent!"

"Oh? So, the person who placed the blade was specifically targeting your daughter?" Zhao Yu asked.

"It should be. Even if the other players bounce to that position, it's not an accent. Even if they get scratched by the blade, it's impossible to be as serious as my daughter!" The old man replied.

"Since this is the case, the person who put the blade must be one of the other 9 contestants who entered the finals! Some people are jealous of your daughter's talent, or they are worried that your daughter will have better grades than him, so they did this! This trick is too bad. " Zhao Yuyi said angrily, "When your daughter's hand was cut, this man must have been watching from the secret! As soon as you walked away, he ran out and wiped the marks, took the blade, and even your daughter's Not even half a finger is left! This man is really shameful!"

"We also know this is the case," the old man shook his head helplessly, "But, in those days, there were no cameras, and the murder weapon was never found, and the interval was too long, fingerprints, bloodstains and so on were gone long ago, without evidence How can we continue the investigation? Although the old man has petitioned many times after recovering from his illness, the case was finally settled.”

tsk tsk...

Zhao Yu thought to himself, if this matter were put forward today, that insidious villain would definitely be caught. This kind of person is really hateful!

"In the beginning, although Dandan's finger was injured," the old man continued to recall, "but after a period of physical therapy, he 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 laborious.

"However, it wasn't until a long time later that her father and I realized that what Dandan hurt was not just her finger, but her heart!

"The thing about cutting her hand caused serious fear in Dandan's heart! At first she could try to play the piano a few times,

But then gradually I didn't dare to play anymore. In the worst case, I even trembled when I saw the piano! Her father and I also spent a lot of money to hire many psychiatrists, but Dandan's illness has never been cured.

"After a few years like this, our family of three exhausted our energy and money, and we have completely lost hope. This incident hit Dandan's father too hard. The old man couldn't afford it anymore, and he died soon after. Passed away, left us!

"Hey!" The old man sighed, "This is life! Fortunately, my daughter is self-improving and is not afraid of hardships and hardships. Our mother and I can be regarded as supporting this family! But now I..."

The old man may want to say that he has cancer, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it, but said: "Officer, look, when you see my daughter, you must not mention the piano. ! You just do what you want!"

Speaking of sadness, the old man choked and sobbed again.

Zhao Yu nodded, feeling very sympathetic to their family. It would be fine to say that they were born poor, but they clearly had a bright future, but unfortunately they were ruined overnight. This kind of experience is even more regrettable.

If there hadn't been a hand-cutting incident, maybe their family could have lived like Luo Meina or Li Xinhua, even better than them!

"In this case," Zhao Yu asked again, "then why didn't you go back to your hometown? The situation was so difficult, didn't you find a relative or something to help?"

"You don't know something!" The old man said helplessly, "Dandan's father is too stubborn, and all the relatives in our family were offended by him. After selling the ancestral house, he just came out with a sigh of relief." Yes! How can I have the face to go back?"

oh……

No wonder the child prodigy's family seemed to have evaporated after the piano competition! It turned out that the real situation was like this, which Zhao Yu had never expected before.

However, while things about the child prodigy were unexpected, things about the hand-chopping case were quite the opposite. Everything the old man said is enough to prove that Zhao Yu's investigation direction is not wrong.

According to what the old man said, this child prodigy has already been listed by Zhao Yu as the number one suspect in the chopping case!

His reasons couldn't be more sufficient. Li Dan's life was ruined in that piano competition. She has every reason to take revenge on those who might have framed her!

What Li Dan injured was his right hand, and all the victims of the hand chopping case had their right hands chopped off! There can be no connection between the two, right?

Zhao Yu had seen the case of Li Dan's mother. Her mother had surgery in May last year, just after the two handchopping cases ended. Then after 9 months of chemotherapy, her mother had already entered the recuperation period, so she had another chance to act again, and implemented the third case of chopping hands!

In addition, it is related to factors such as her having worked in a theater troupe and her family living in such a sensitive location.

Zhao Yu felt more and more that this time, he had really touched the truth of the chopping case! The murderer he was looking for should be the prodigy-Li Dan! !
