The incandescent light shines on the beige non-slip floor, making the room look a little pale against the walls on both sides.
Lan Ruo had already changed her clothes. The dance costume with a pure white half-length skirt should have made her look more like an angel, but at this time, it made her face look even worse than Qiuzi's.
After acquiring the memory, you will have a more thorough grasp of the character's physical instincts.
Xu Shuo completely lost his sense of shame and took the lead in dancing the first dance in front of the dance teacher to the long music as usual.
The black and white ballet costume swayed under the light, and the crystal on the skirt reflected the light, flickering on and off like a candle.
The girl danced vigorously and with a faint smile on her face.
It should be a very soft and beautiful picture, but the eyes she looked at were deep and dark, making her like a dark elf placed in a secluded room, with an inexplicable and eerie sense of depression.
The three of them had different expressions, but Teacher Changying still had a straight face and an unclear expression.
Xue Na was much more lively. From time to time, her face would look full of admiration and surprise, and she would even silently applaud.
Lan Ruo, who was standing in the corner, stared at the jumping figure, unconsciously clasping her left wrist tightly with her palm, pinching out a bright red color.
She is the least calm.
So Xu Shuo jumped over here on purpose, and turned around in front of her with a sweet smile, his neck raised high like a swan, pale and fragile.
The fingertips clasping her wrists applied more force. Lanruo suddenly woke up after feeling pain. She lowered her head and avoided looking.
The performance is so obvious, if he is really the murderer, it would be too unchallenging, right?
Xu Shuo glanced at her and stopped dancing with his last movement. In an instant, the cold aura that had just been absent was also restrained and ended just like her movements.
The lights of the dance studio shone down, casting dark shadows on the smooth and clear beige floor.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
Sounds of vigorous applause came from the side.
With an admiring smile on her face, Xue Na said sincerely: "Qiuzi, you are dancing better and better, just like a real swan! Did you also prepare this dress specially for today?"
Xu Shuo stood up and looked at her, curved his lips and smiled: "Yes."
Although his original intention was just to block the body, after getting the memory, he realized that the accidental collision was actually connected with Qiuzi's previous preparation.
The dance team led by Teacher Changying originally had dozens of students, but they all failed in the subsequent screening, leaving only three people competing for the starring position.
In this performance, the ballet dancer needs to show the postures of the white swan and the black swan at the same time.
But in fact, Qiuzi, who is favored by teacher Changying, has always been able to perform the perfect white swan, while Lanruo's expressiveness makes her closer to the black swan.
Both of them were working hard towards each other to get this role, and the competition was extremely fierce. Until the day before yesterday, these good friends finally had a quarrel and finally broke up.
Qiuzi was so angry that she took down the photo frame. Unexpectedly, the next day, she was killed directly by Lan Ruo, who was even more angry.
In the memory received by Xu Shuo, Lan Ruo did appear in the dance studio last night.
And from her reaction, she did know that Qiuzi should be dead.
…
"Of twenty-four students, only three are left?"
Officer Zhang was sitting in the car, listening to the information given by his colleagues on the phone, and asked thoughtfully: "What is the show they are going to perform?"
"'Swan Lake'." said the other person.
Swan Lake?
Although Officer Zhang doesn't understand ballet at all, he has heard of this fairy tale.
"Where are you going to perform?" Officer Zhang asked again.
"There is no news about this. I only heard that it was a special invitation to perform in front of powerful people, so those girls worked extra hard, but in the end there were only three people left in the competition."
"Then won't the others rehearse together?"
"According to the news, it seems that only the lead actor is planning to perform the entire show."
Officer Zhang frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said: "Go and investigate other people's information."
The person on the other end hung up the phone after receiving the instruction. Officer Zhang looked at the girl's information in his hand and turned over it. There was nothing suspicious about it. What was suspicious was the ballet company.
At this time, the priest sitting in the back leaned forward slightly and asked warmly: "Can you let me take a look too?"
Officer Zhang handed over the document directly, and then looked up at the building above. The white curtains covered the windows, and only the occasional light gray shadow could be seen passing by.
The sky is foggy, and the rain has not stopped since last night. Even though it has improved now, it is still drizzling.
The street is very quiet, this is not a commercial area, and occasionally there are only a few pedestrians wrapped in windbreakers passing by in a hurry.
"Go up and have a look."
Officer Zhang was sitting in the car. He didn't know whether it was because the weather was too gloomy or the space was too cramped. He always felt very bored. After saying that, he opened the door and got out.
Seeing this, the priest put down the information and said, "You will scare off the enemy."
"I fell in love with that little girl yesterday."
Officer Zhang said something nonchalantly, the last words disappeared in the drizzle, and the figure quickly turned into the corridor.
The priest withdrew his dull gaze and looked at the thick documents in his hand again. One was information about Qiuzi and the dance team, and the other was information about the disappearances in the city some time ago.
Because he called the police last night and explained what happened without any concealment, he also gained the trust of the police, or the temporary trust of Officer Zhang.
The priest knew very well that in this scene, cooperation with the police was the wisest decision.
…
When Officer Zhang came outside the dance studio, it was Xue Na who was dancing.
Xue Na's dance is more vivid and mature. She can perfectly change her emotions and movement tension, integrating the elegance of the white swan with the boldness of the black swan.
As the eldest sister among the three, Xue Na is three years older than Qiuzi and Lan Ruo. She is tall and has a good temperament. She should have been the most promising one to become the leading role.
However, some time ago, Xue Na injured her ankle due to an accident.
Even though she has recovered now, she has not yet reached her peak state. Due to the hidden injury, she was unable to complete the last "whiplash" sequence of Black Swan.
So, now Xue Na is completely accompanying him.
The door of the dance studio was ajar, and Officer Zhang stood at the door, looking through the crack at the girl dancing inside.
Compared with Qiuzi's youthfulness, the other party's dance seemed to be much better, but there was always a different feeling.
I don’t know why, when I spy on a girl dancing in front of the window, even if I can only see the shadow, I feel an inexplicable impulse in my heart, and my eyes only know how to catch that figure unconsciously, watching greedily.
But now, obviously the feeling at the scene should be better than seeing the shadow, but Officer Zhang only felt boring for a while.
