Chapter Fifty-Six: Difference of One Thought
"Hehe..." Shao Jiaying let out a bitter smile that was almost miserable, and then sighed to the sky, "Perhaps, this is the karma in the dark! Li Dan actually dug up my hand in order to take revenge on me and chop off my hand. Father's grave! Perhaps, this is God's deliberate arrangement!"
oh……
Hearing this, Zhao Yu suddenly understood. It turned out that the person who put the blade on Li Dan was not Shao Jiaying in front of him, but Shao Jiaying's father! !
"18 years ago, before the finals, we practiced the piano in the music auditorium of the No. 2 Middle School as required." Shao Jiaying recalled, "My practice time was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and I had already finished practicing the piano early. But at night, My father suddenly said that he left something in the auditorium and asked me to stay in the hotel by myself for a while, and he went to find it!
"At that time, when I saw my father's flustered expression, I thought he had lost something important, and I was also anxious, so I wanted to go with him, but he firmly refused!
"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.
"It was just looking for something, but I waited and waited, but my father didn't come back. It was not until after 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 he looked restless. I asked him a lot of things, such as what was lost? Did you find it? Why did you come back so late, but he didn't answer a word. It's just that I keep nagging in my mouth, asking me to play hard tomorrow, to play hard!
"At that time, I was also very dull. Although I saw that something was wrong with my father, I didn't think much about it, and I still participated in the final step by step.
"During the finals, my mind was all on the piano, not only did I complete the competition seriously, but also performed 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 finalists!
"Li Dan was already well-known before the competition, and she was the favorite to win the competition! She clearly entered the final, but why is her name not on the list?
"Later, I started asking. I remember very clearly that it was Luo Meina's mother who told me that Li Dan had an accident the night before the final and had already been hospitalized! But she didn't know what happened. .
"Until that time, I didn't notice anything wrong, and I was glad in my heart. Fortunately, Li Dan withdrew from the competition, otherwise, I would never have squeezed into the top three!
"However...it's also a coincidence! If I didn't go to the bathroom because of nervousness before attending the awards ceremony, I'm afraid I would live in 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. Li Dan's mother had disheveled hair, dirty and torn body, and she seemed to have aged a lot. With tears in his eyes, he bowed to the organizing committee repeatedly, as if begging for something.
"Being curious, I stood behind them and listened. It was at that time that I finally realized that Li Dan's retirement was caused by a blade inserted upside down in the piano, and one of her fingers, They were even cut off!
"After hearing the news, I suddenly thought of my father. He said that he would go back to No. 2 Middle School to find something, and that very abnormal night happened to be the time when Li Dan's finger was cut. Such a coincidence, I had to put Murderer, linked to my father!
"That day, I didn't even know how I stood on the podium to receive the award. I felt that everything in front of me was like an illusion! My father kept asking me to smile, but I...how could I Can you laugh?
"Oh!" 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 packed up in the hotel and prepared to go back When I was at home, a box of things fell out of my father’s backpack, it was... that was... a whole box of utility blades!!"
Speaking of this, due to being too emotional, Shao Jiaying's eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't make a sound.
"It's a very professional art blade. It's sharp and strong. If it's inserted upside down in the keys, not only will it be impossible to find, but it will also cause great damage!" After a while, Shao Jiaying continued, "Our family has no For art students, this kind of utility knife is expensive, and it is absolutely impossible for our family to have such a thing! So... that day, in the hotel, my father and I had a big argument, and finally, under my constant questioning, Father finally...admitted...admitted what he did to Li Dan!
"I remember, at that time, I was going crazy! I was really going crazy! The pain and pressure I endured may not be worse than that of Li Dan! I felt so ridiculous, so absurd, that I was What face do I have to get the third place with such a cruel and immoral method?
"Father was also terrified. That day, he even knelt down to me and begged me not to tell the truth about it! Huh..." Shao Jiaying cried until the pear blossoms rained down, "My parents divorced early, and I am sensible. Since my childhood, my father has been taking me with me. For me, he has never found another partner in his life. For me to learn the piano, he has devoted himself to learning the piano. Sometimes, he has to work three jobs a day, even at night. no rest...
"However, such a loving father committed such an unforgivable crime with his own hands! At that time, I almost collapsed. I was full of contradictions in my heart. I didn't want Li Dan to have anything to do, and I didn't want my father to go to jail because of it! Right there Under such painful torture, I finally went to university, and then I managed to go abroad.
"Since the piano competition, I have never touched the 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 attentively. He also never imagined that the events back then would be so twists and turns. How similar is Li Dan's father to Shao Jiaying's father? They also gave everything for their beloved daughter. However, Shao Jiaying's father chose an unwise and extreme method, which led to a series of tragedies later!
"God's eyes are sharp!" Shao Jiaying wiped her tears with her incense towel, and said, "In the dark, maybe there really is karma!
"Eight years ago, my father fell down the stairs of his own house, 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, but I deeply knew that my father couldn't let go of the matter about Li Dan until his death! His heart was full of guilt and self-blame, and he couldn't forgive himself for the rest of his life. !"
A mistake in one thought leads to a big mistake!
Facing the truth of the matter, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh. If he had considered the issue more carefully, he probably wouldn't have been framed by someone and died so miserably.
"Officer Zhao!" Shao Jiaying stopped sobbing and said, "Tell the truth, and I feel more at ease! I think my father should have the same intention, but he just lacks the courage.
"Well, I will hire the best team of lawyers to defend Li Dan and try my best to get a good result!
"As for Li Dan's mother, you can rest assured that I will arrange a corresponding team to take better care of the elderly!
"I know that the relationship between me and Li Dan is not about money. I don't ask Li Dan to forgive us, I just hope that this matter will not develop in a bad direction!"
Hearing these words, Zhao Yu leaned back on the seat dejectedly, feeling relieved and tired at the same time. Although the case of chopping hands can come to an end, the right and wrong in it can never be clarified.
