Chapter 300 Devil Xiaoye Chapter (13): The Murder Case in the Horror Piano Room
3.
Du Yujuan is the eighteenth to appear. According to the number arrangement, she performed in front of Lin Xin.
"Wait for my good news." Before leaving, Du Yujuan extended a V-sign to Zhao Linli. Zhao Linli wanted to say something, but Du Yujuan had already walked into the backstage.
Du Yujuan performed an erhu solo. Zhao Linli knew that Du Yujuan had been practicing erhu for almost eight years. She was admitted with excellent music foundation, and even the teacher appreciated her performance. And Du Yujuan had just received the tenth-level erhu certificate. So
It is said that Lin Xin cannot be better than Du Yujuan from a professional point of view or from a musical foundation. However, Zhao Linli always feels a little uneasy when she thinks of the scene she saw in the No. 2 piano room of the laboratory building yesterday.
While Zhao Linli was thinking, Du Yujuan had already changed into performance clothes and came to the stage. She played the classic song "Horse Racing". Du Yujuan's skillful skills won the audience's applause as soon as she started playing the tune. As she changed her gestures
, and the upsurge of the melody, the audience continued to applaud. Indeed, although there were more than twenty people performing in front, none of them could be as professional as Du Yujuan. Even Ye Zihan on the judges' table looked surprised.
After the song ended, Du Yujuan stood up, and then a wave of applause rang out like thunder.
"Now, I would like to ask Lin Xin, a student from Music Class 3, to play a piano piece "Peerless" for everyone." The host walked to the center of the stage and announced Lin Xin's entry.
After hearing the host's announcement, everyone was stunned, and the whole place fell silent.
The entire Nanming Conservatory of Music knows that "Peerless" is Xiao Wang's death song. It was a song he wrote for Lin An'er. Now Lin Xin wants to play this, is it a coincidence or an accident?
Zhao Linli felt her heart beating in her throat. What she was worried about had indeed appeared. The scene last night seemed to be true. Xiao Wang had really attached his soul to Lin Xin.
Everyone looked at Lin Xin on the stage with confusion. She sat calmly in front of the piano and gently played the keys with both hands.
The piano started playing, and the audience burst into laughter.
This is clearly Beethoven's "For Alice" or "Peerless". I really don't know if the host got the lines wrong or if Lin Xin was deliberately showing off.
Zhao Linli was also stunned. Lin Xin was indeed playing Beethoven's "For Alice". Although she was playing a famous piece, her technique and sense of sound were still very good. It was just because of the host's announcement just now that she was stunned.
Many people misunderstood her, and the audience was in chaos.
Finally, Lin Xin finished playing.
"Now please let the judges score Du Yujuan and Lin Xin." The host seemed a little puzzled by Lin Xin's behavior. When her name was reported, he looked at her specially.
There are five judges, two support Du Yujuan, two support Lin Xin, and only the last judge is left, she is Ye Zihan.
"Judge Ye Zihan is now asked to rate two students. Which one do you choose?" the host looked at Ye Zihan and asked.
Ye Zihan seemed to be thinking about something and had no reaction to the supporter's words. She didn't react until the judge next to her gave her a push.
"Teacher Ye is having a hard time making a choice!" the host said mockingly.
"I choose, Lin Xin." Ye Zihan revealed his choice.
The audience booed. This result was really unexpected. Du Yujuan on the stage seemed not to have expected to lose. She was stunned there and did not recover for a long time.
The selection test continued, and Zhao Linli appeared for the twentieth time. Originally, she wanted to comfort Du Yujuan, but it was her turn to go backstage. Her opponent was a boy in her class, and the boy didn't seem to have much intention to be selected, so
Zhao Linli won easily.
After the selection test, Zhao Linli hurriedly left the auditorium. She first called Du Yujuan, but the phone was turned off. Then she came to the dormitory, and Du Yujuan was not there either. When she was about to leave, the dormitory phone rang.
"Hello, is Du Yujuan here?" The voice on the phone was from a middle-aged woman, who seemed to be Du Yujuan's mother.
"Well, she hasn't come back yet."
"Is the audition over now? Has she been selected?" Du Yujuan's mother asked eagerly.
"It's not over yet? When she comes back, I'll ask her to call you back, okay?" Zhao Linli really didn't know how to tell her that Du Yujuan was not selected.
"Okay, thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Linli ran out of the dormitory. She remembered a place where Du Yujuan often went before - the grove behind the school.
After passing through the back door of the school, Zhao Linli saw Du Yujuan there. She was sitting on the ground alone, sobbing softly. Zhao Linli slowly walked up to her.
"How could I lose?" Du Yujuan raised her eyes and said, her eyes filled with crystal tears.
"I blame that Ye Zihan, she doesn't understand at all." Zhao Linli didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to put the blame on Ye Zihan.
"No, I can't blame her. It's just how should I tell my mother that she has been expecting me to be selected." At this point, Du Yujuan started crying again.
"It's okay, we know your strength. Didn't the teacher say that? You are gold, destined to shine wherever you go." Zhao Linli hugged her and said.
Du Yujuan stopped talking and just cried softly.
The wind blew the leaves, making them whine.
4.
Zhao Linli had a dream again.
This time, she dreamed that she was standing on the stage, and Lin Xin was playing the piano. The sound of the piano was gloomy, like black water, submerging the whole world.
Then, the scene returned to piano room No. 2. She saw Du Yujuan sitting there, pressing the keys hard with both hands, and bright red blood flowed from her fingers, staining the keys red.
Zhao Linli opened her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she heard a sound, which seemed to be the sound of something hitting the window.
Snap, snap, snap, again. She raised her head, and an astonishing scene reflected in her pupils.
Du Yujuan's body was hanging by the window sill. Due to the looseness of the rope, her body hit the window from time to time, making a snapping sound.
Ah, Zhao Linli's scream spread throughout the girls' dormitory.
The police set up a cordon in the dormitory, and forensic doctors and police began to investigate the scene. As the first witnesses, Zhao Linli and Su Lei were both greatly frightened.
Soon, the forensic doctor gave the result that Du Yujuan died of suicide.
Of course, they all know the reason why Du Yujuan committed suicide.
Among the crowd, Lin Xin was also there. She was wearing a long black trench coat, like a ghost, looking at everything in front of her indifferently.
"It's all you, you devil." A surge of anger suddenly surged into Zhao Linli's heart, and she rushed over in an instant and rushed towards Lin Xin.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The dormitory administrator pulled Zhao Linli away.
"Don't think I don't know what you have done? You will always pay for everything you have done." Zhao Linli shouted at Lin Xin.
Lin Xin didn't speak, turned around and left silently.
Du Yujuan's death made the entire music school tremble. The selection test has always been a means of selecting outstanding students and a method used by the school to encourage students, but now some people have committed suicide because of this. This makes the school have to
Some media that followed the trend began to speculate on Ye Zihan. They believed that Ye Zihan’s judges were unfair and led to student suicide. So, in less than a day, the entire media, newspapers, and websites were full of stories about Ye Zihan, the Conservatory of Music, and the death of Du Yujuan.
news.
It was getting dark, and Zhao Linli lay motionless on the table. She had been in this position for an hour. Du Yujuan's death made her feel very sad.
Last night, Du Yujuan returned to the dormitory with her, and then Du Yujuan called her mother back. When she heard that Du Yujuan was not selected, Du Yujuan's mother spoke sharply and felt hysterical disappointment. After hanging up the phone, Du Yujuan went to bed. Zhao Linli
I helped her get food to eat, but she didn't eat either.
Zhao Linli knew that Du Yujuan was born in a musical family, and her parents had been strict with her since she was a child. Perhaps it was this strictness that put her under invisible pressure, and she finally chose to commit suicide.
Zhao Linli had an indescribable feeling about Lin Xin. Everyone knew that Lin Xin knew nothing at all, but she played the piano music that made her enter the semi-finals. Why is this? Maybe the answer is really related to that night
It has connections in the laboratory building. If Lin Xin's secret can be revealed, then at least an explanation can be given to Du Yujuan. Thinking of this, Zhao Linli sat up immediately.
After walking out of the classroom, Zhao Linli went straight to the laboratory building. I don't know whether it was because of her mood or other reasons. The entire laboratory building was gloomy, and the lights in the distance made it look shadowy.
Zhao Linli walked through the corridor and came to piano room No. 2.
The room was very quiet, without any sound, and it was so empty that it was scary.
The piano stood there as if dead, and the white cloth covering it was like a shroud, exuding a ghostly atmosphere.
Zhao Linli walked over slowly and gently opened the white cloth.
The piano is very clean, the white keys are clean, and the black keys are neat.
do,ri,mi,fa,,xi.
Zhao Linli pressed the keys in sequence, and the piano made a monotonous sound. It was an old-fashioned piano. I heard that it used to be a public piano for students to practice. Later, it was placed here after Xiao Wang's accident. Just like the sword burying heroes, it will never be seen again.
No one had touched it, but Lin Xin touched her, and she made the piano play again, alarming Xiao Wang's ghost.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. Zhao Linli hurriedly covered the piano and hid in a corner next to it.
The door was pushed open and a person walked in. Zhao Linli could only see the lower body of the person. She was a woman. She was wearing a pair of beige trousers and high heels. She did not seem to be a student.
I saw the woman sitting next to the piano, uncovering the white cloth on it, and groping the keys softly, as if she was mourning her old friend.
Zhao Linli tilted her head. She wanted to see who it was, but her body did not dare to make a sound. Just when she was anxious, the person suddenly played the piano.
It turned out to be a skillful "Moonlight Song", with cheerful tones, it was simply the work of a professional pianist. Zhao Linli couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't until the song ended that she came back to her senses.
"Have you never left? You still haven't forgotten Lin An'er. Was it you who asked Lin Xin to play "Peerless"?" The man suddenly spoke, his tone full of sadness.
Zhao Linli suddenly remembered someone, she was Ye Zihan.
5.
The piano has not changed and remains in piano room 2.
The moonlight that year was very cold, and it was so cold that my heart was broken.
Ye Zihan secretly walked to the No. 2 piano room with the music score and sat in front of the piano. This piano was usually used by many people during the day, and it was not her turn at all, so she could only choose to practice at night.
The first time she saw a piano, Ye Zihan fell deeply in love with this instrument. The 88 keyboards were as clear as black and white, just like human eyes, with endless temptation, which made her unable to help but feel ecstatic. When she saw the teacher
When she played the flowing music on the stage, her heart was completely broken. This is a great instrument that surpasses other music. Whether it is Chopin or Beethoven, everyone who has fallen for it has created amazing works.
World masterpiece.
Therefore, she secretly vowed to learn piano well.
Ye Zihan stroked the piano keys as if they were brocade and jade silk. She carefully fiddled with the keys and played a short tune intermittently according to the score.
The intermittent music made her frown. She knew that practicing piano music required more practice. Just when she was thinking about how to arrange for herself to come to the piano room a few more times, the door of the piano room opened and a boy left.
Come in.
He is Xiao Wang.
He was a little surprised when he saw Ye Zihan sitting in front of the piano.
"You, you come to practice the piano too!" Ye Zihan suddenly stood up, actually a little nervous.
"What did you play just now?" Xiao Wang nodded and said.
"Yes, I, I'm not familiar with it yet." Ye Zihan lowered his head, his face burning.
"It will be good if you practice more. In fact, I have just learned it. You see, when playing, try not to read the music score and talk at the same time, otherwise the music will be intermittent and the connection will not be connected." Xiao Wang said and sat down in front of the piano.
His hands flew lightly on the piano.
That was the first time that Ye Zihan got close to Xiao Wang. This musical genius had always been a god-like figure at Nanming Conservatory of Music. He was always in a hurry and taciturn every day, and would only talk in general when talking about music.
Xiao Wang played Chopin's "Nocturne". Listening to the beautiful piano sound and looking at the hazy night outside the window, Ye Zihan really had an illusion. She was completely immersed in Xiao Wang's piano music.
That night, beautiful and hazy, was the most profound night in Ye Zihan's memory. It was also at that time that she fell in love with Xiao Wang, and just like her obsession with the piano, she was out of control.
Xiao Wang does not come to the piano room every day, he comes once in a while, but Ye Zihan cherishes the time when he comes. The two of them discuss music, piano and life together. In order to be able to be with Xiao Wang, Ye Zihan studies hard
She studied music theory knowledge and tried her best to keep her heart close to this genius. Although it was very tiring, every time she could stand in the same angle as Xiao Wang, her heart was filled with honey.
In the second year's selection test, Ye Zihan and Xiao Wang passed at the same time, and there was another girl who passed with them, she was Lin An'er.
Things in the world are so strange. No matter in terms of foundation or experience, Ye Zihan and Xiao Wang are very similar. Everyone thought they would be together, but Xiao Wang chose Lin An'er.
Lin An'er is the daughter of a company boss in Nanming, but she fell in love with Xiao Wang.
Faced with Xiao Wang's departure, Ye Zihan chose to be patient. There was nothing between them originally, but she turned her grief and anger into motivation. Not only did she learn piano and guitar, but she also began to learn popular singing and bel canto singing.
Xiao Wang, a former talented musician, became the target of public criticism because of his love with Lin An'er, while Ye Zihan was pushed to the top by teachers and classmates.
The love between Xiao Wang and Lin An'er was in crisis after Lin An'er's family found out. Lin An'er's mother led people to find Xiao Wang and tried every means to threaten him. Finally, she asked Lin An'er to go home and rejected them.
Meet.
That night, Ye Zihan met Xiao Wang again in the piano room.
They haven't been alone together for a long time.
"Let me give you a piece of music." Ye Zihan said, then silently sat in front of the piano.
Ye Zihan played Beethoven's "For Alice", and the sound of the piano represents the voice of the heart.
Xiao Wang didn't speak, Ye Zihan closed her eyes, and in front of her was every inch of her time with Xiao Wang.
"Beethoven never married in his life. His only love was his student Teresa. This piece was composed for her. But it was later changed to be dedicated to Alice." Xiao Wang said softly.
"Yes, just like I do to you, I have always loved you deeply. I want to tell you that even if you and Lin An'er really can't be together, I am still waiting for you." Ye Zihan's tears fell.
Come down.
"You can't force love. I also wanted to try to love you, but I found that you are very tired in order to be with me. If love is so hard, why should we force it." Xiao Wang sighed, "If there is
In the next life, maybe I will be with you forever."
Xiao Wang sat down at the piano and played a piece of music. It was "Peerless", formerly known as "Dedicated to Lin An'er". In fact, this piece was almost identical to Beethoven's "Dedicated to Alice", except that the style and style of the song were different.
There are some changes in the middle.
Tears fell on the keys, and Ye Zihan woke up from her memories. Today, she heard Lin Xin playing "Peerless", which was like the scene when Xiao Wang played that night.
"Is it true that you are back?" Ye Zihan asked softly, stroking the piano.
