Chapter 29 Section 9

Seeing Kaga coming out of his lounge, Wei Xu hurriedly hid in the dark.After confirming that he had really left, he opened the door. As soon as she saw Wei Xu, Akiko showed sad eyes, didn't say a word, just moved her mouth.This action seems to have said it all. "I can't hide it anymore." Akiko said, "Really, I still can't hide it. That policeman seems to know everything." Wei Xu nodded, but she didn't feel depressed at all. She always believed that Kaga would find out all the truth one day. "Sorry, Weixu." Akiko stood up and hugged Wei Xu, "You protected me, but I failed to protect you."

"It doesn't matter." Wei Xu said, "In this way, I can also be relieved. Because I don't need to continue to lie anymore." "Weixu..." "Please don't take it to heart. Having said that, I want to make today's dance drama the most perfect in my life memory." "Well, yes, I will also leave everything behind and dance the most outstanding dance, for the sake of Weixu." Hearing these words, Wei Xu's tears welled up in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth to keep them from shedding. It all started that night. That day, after the regular training session, Akiko asked Wei Xu to go to practice independently, and of course Wei Xu agreed. "Beauty Sleeping in the Forest" is about to start, and she also wants the two of them to spend as much time as possible to practice.

Akiko took a key to the dance troupe building, went out for dinner with Wei Xu, and then returned to the training ground. Things happen at this moment. Combining the situation before and after, it seems that Kazama has been tracking the actions of the two of them, probably waiting for the time when Akiko is alone.But the two were inseparable and walked to the training ground together. If Wei Xu also entered the training ground together, then the development of the situation must be a different scene.However, the fact is that Akiko was the only one who entered the training ground, and Mio went to the convenience store instead of entering the building.At this time, the key to the door was kept by Wei Xu's side, because Akiko could open the door from the inside.

After seeing Wei Xu walk away, Kazama walked into the building.However, the gate was locked, and he must have wandered around the building for a while just to be able to get in touch with Akiko, and then, as he wished, he found Akiko in the office. On the other hand, after Wei Xu came back from shopping, he opened the door and was about to enter the building when he suddenly heard arguing.She quietly came to the door of the office, peeped at the movement inside, and immediately found that a strange man was about to attack Akiko. The female number one must be protected, Wei Xu thought.If something happened to her, their dream would not come true.

Wei Xu's eyes fell on a metal vase, just behind the man.She walked in with a bent body, took the vase with both hands, aimed at the back of the man's head and swung it down fiercely. She felt a violent shock in her arms. Then, the man's body fell to the ground. "The Beauty of the Sleeping Forest" entered the first scene. Akiko, who played the role of Princess Aurora, showed the most perfect dance posture, and she couldn't see that what happened just now caused any disturbance to her thoughts.But when she was dancing, Kaga's eyes slowly moved to the back of her - Mio who played the monster.Seeing her dance became more and more cute, Kaga's heart ached.

It's not that he never doubted Wei Xu, if Ye Liuzi is protecting someone, Wei Xu is undoubtedly the most likely.But if you think about it the other way around, there is no need for protection in this way.The reason is that if Ye Liuzi can claim to be in self-defense, Wei Xu himself can do the same.They were both young girls, and it would be safer not to lie.And most importantly, it's counterintuitive to ask your best friend to take the blame for you.If two people were really good friends, they would never do such a thing. Just because of this consideration, Kaga dispelled his doubts about Mio early on.

However, the first time he hesitated was when he was walking in Shakujii Park the day before yesterday.He thought back to when he discovered the soft tennis inflator. Assuming she still remembered what happened back then, what was she thinking when she saw Kaga rejoicing after discovering the air pump?She must have also noticed that the tip of the inflator doubled as an injection needle. Then, when she knew who was holding a soft tennis ball pump around—— Regarding Yasuko Mori's suicide, the most unclear thing is the motive.Even if she was out of fear of being arrested by the police, the timing must have been too accurate.

But if Wei Xu knew that Yasuko had an air pump, it would be a different story.In this way, Wei Xu should know that the murderer who killed Oda was Yasuko, and he should have found Yasuko in the same way as the police. She immediately informed Jingzi, came to her residence in the middle of the night, and told her that the police were approaching the truth.Fujimidai, where Mio’s apartment is located, is only one station away from Yasuko. Although it’s a bit far on foot, it’s a good distance to ride a bicycle.There are a lot of bicycles parked in the parking lot on the first floor of Weixu Apartment.

Hearing the progress of the police search, Jingzi chose to commit suicide. The above are the initial doubts about Wei Xu, but even if these are true, this does not constitute a serious fault, and there is no violation of the law at all. Then another reasoning comes into play, that is, the fact that Aoki's lover is not Yasuko but Akiko.This was thought of by accident, but it can solve all the mysteries so far. The most important of these is how Yasuko's motive for killing Oda came from.If Yasuko knew that what Akiko did in New York was all blamed on him, and it was also because of Oda, what would be the consequence?

Yasuko remodeled her body at any cost in order to please Oda.She must have firmly believed that this was a shortcut to becoming a famous actress.But if she found out that Oda betrayed her four years ago—— The question is, how did Jingzi know all this?Regarding this point, Kaga also has his own conjecture, that is, Kazama and Yasuko have met each other. After the end of the first act, Wei Xu and the others returned to the lounge. As soon as they entered the room, Akiko immediately began to touch up her makeup.She plays through the second act and the third act.And Wei Xu doesn't need to appear in the second act, so he can still catch his breath.

"The state is adjusted to the best." Akiko said, "I want to keep it until the last moment." Wei Xu nodded and took off his costume. Facing the mirror, Wei Xu remembered what happened in the previous performance, when Oda was killed.Regarding that case, Wei Xu and Akiko were also involved. "Someone put something strange in my bag." Before the horizontal bar training session started, Akiko asked Mio to discuss it.She handed over a small note with the following line written on it: "I know you have something to do with Kazama's death, if you don't want me to tell the police, just do as I say!" A very inexplicable instruction was written below, asking her to pour half a glass of water on Oda's shirt before the horizontal bar practice session. "what does this mean." "Anyway, I'll try to do it first." After Akiko finished speaking, she managed to avoid everyone's eyes and ears and got her hand. It is precisely because of such incidents as the background that when seeing Kaga discovering the injection needle, Wei Xu immediately understood everything.And she remembered seeing exactly the same thing in Yasuko's room. These two clues convinced Wei Xu that Jingzi was the murderer. That night, Wei Xu rode a bicycle to Yasuko's apartment.The reason why I didn't take a taxi was because I was afraid of being alone with the driver in the middle of the night. Yasuko easily accepted Wei Xu's conjecture, saying that he was indeed the one who killed Oda. "I was stabbed by him." As Jingzi spoke, tears fell like rain. "The person named Kazama did come to me because he wanted to confirm the truth of the matter. The person also asked, 'Why do you have to say that Aoki's lover is you', I was really surprised and didn't believe it at all. He said it. He also told me a lot of things, but I didn’t believe it. Mr. Oda praised my dance so much, and said that as long as I did what he said, I would become a first-class dancer. How could such a teacher frame me And me?" However, when Jingzi spoke, the clasped hands on his chest trembled uncontrollably. "When I learned that the deceased was Kazama, my psychological defense completely collapsed. He must have been killed because of some kind of inside story. Since he was killed, then what he said must be true. I really can't Forgive this kind of thing, I hate everyone, but the one I hate the most is Oda-sensei. I put all my bets on the teacher, and he knows it...I went on a diet to make the teacher like me In order to become Akiko's body type. What, what am I... It's just a woman who is used as a scapegoat for others." Jingzi was crying on the ground, but Weixu couldn't think of anything to comfort her.Here's a pathetic dancer, and the bigger the stakes, the bigger the shock when her dreams shatter. Jingzi finally stopped crying and looked at Weixu with blood red eyes. "Thank you, Wei Xu, for telling me about the police, next you want to persuade me to surrender?" "Well, but..." Weixu looked straight at Yasuko, "I hope you will never tell the truth before the performance in Yokohama, today I'm here to ask you to do this." "……What's the meaning?" Jingzi showed a surprised expression, while Weixu's eyes remained serious. "Let me tell you the truth, I was the one who killed Kazama. This performance will be my last appearance." At the end of the second act, the princess wakes up under the kiss of the prince after a hundred years of slumber.When she woke up, everything in the sleeping forest also woke up. What a sleeping forest, Kaga thought.All the members of the Gaoliu Dance Troupe were imprisoned in this lush jungle. Kazuhiro Aoki's lover is Akiko Takayanagi - this conjecture naturally deduces that it was Akiko who killed Kazama.However, this doesn't make sense. Why did Ye Liuzi have such a spirit of sacrifice to take the blame for Akiko?Ye Liuzi herself is also a dancer with great potential, and she must have a vision for the future. Did something happen that caused Ye Liuzi to kill Kazama by mistake?But in this case, there is no need to pretend to be self-defense, as long as the defense is manslaughter, isn't that all right?It was impossible for Akiko who was present at the time to let Ye Liuzi perform this dangerous play in order to keep her secret? Then there is only one possibility left, and that is the third person who committed the crime of manslaughter. At this point, Weixu appeared in Kaga's mind again. Kaga re-investigated the relationship between Weixu and Ye Liuzi, is there any missing clues, did he forget something important? Have. That matter is far away in the sky, but it is close at hand. Ye Liuzi once had a traffic accident, and Mio Asaoka was also sitting in the car at that time. Ye Liuzi's foot was injured and had to stop training for a long time, while Wei Xu only had a minor injury and was discharged from the hospital that day. Kaga pondered over and over again, when Wei Xu suddenly became abnormal, she said it was anemia, is it really so? Kaga called his father, who had a lot of experience dealing with a friend's son's traffic accident recently.Kaga tells his father about the impression when Mio claimed to be uncomfortable. "Although we cannot say for sure, it is very likely that this is the aftereffect left by the traffic accident." My father replied, "The human brain is very complicated. No matter how advanced medicine is, there are still many unknown things. There are many cases where no abnormalities are found during the inspection, but then there will be a sudden headache and tinnitus, so there will be a lot of friction." "Aren't there any obvious features?" Kaga asked. "That's why I don't know, so it's very difficult now. Some people's sequelae may just be psychological problems. But in fact, the vision will gradually decline later." "You mean there are many kinds?" "That's right, some people have tinnitus in rainy days." "rain?" Kaga asked, "It has something to do with the weather?" "It has a lot to do with it." My father said, "The sequelae have a common feature. In rainy or cloudy days, or when the seasons change, you will feel that your head is particularly heavy." rain-- Kaga checked the weather on Weixu's unusual day, and it was true, it was rainy or cloudy.That being said, it also rained on the day of Oda's funeral.He and Weixu also took a walk in Shakujii Park after the rain. Kaga spent the whole day yesterday visiting brain surgeons everywhere, thinking that maybe he would meet a doctor who treated Weixu.Sure enough, in the brain surgery of a general hospital, he found Weixu's medical records. "I remember, I told her to keep watching, but she didn't come, and I still wondered." her attending physician said. "What are her symptoms?" Kaga asked. "Severe sudden tinnitus, and soon you will feel that the sound is getting farther and farther away. I asked her if she had ever been in a car accident or something, and her answer was a bit vague, as if the accident was caused by her own negligence .” Kaga left the hospital in despair. ear-- Now the mystery has finally been solved, and that's what happened.The sudden stop in the middle of the dance must be because the music can no longer be heard, not because of dizziness or the like. If things continue to progress— There are many classical music tapes on the table in her room. Could it be that she wants to engrave the beautiful music in her heart forever while she can still hear it? Kaga immediately remembered what she said a few days ago, that sentence: I really hope to hear someone say something to me, just for me... For you, I am willing to say more words—— The third act has begun, and it is drawing to a close.Wei Xu secretly vowed in his heart that he must perform the most perfect dance. How difficult it was to walk all the way to dance here today.The gratitude to Ye Liuzi cannot be expressed in words.It was purely an unfortunate traffic accident, and I didn't want Ye Liuzi to take responsibility in this way. After realizing that Toshiyuki Kazama had passed away, Wei Xu and Akiko stood there blankly, motionless.Akiko looked bewildered, and Wei Xu didn't know what he was doing. At this time, Ye Liuzi came back. She asked them what was going on in surprise, Wei Xu said that she didn't know anything, and then Akiko told them everything about the relationship between her and the man who fell on the ground. "I'm going to surrender myself." After hearing everything, Wei Xu said tremblingly, "This is the only way out and the best solution." "No." Ye Liuzi said, "I won't let you do this, well, I will find a way." "Is there any good way?" Akiko asked. "Yes, if everything goes well, I won't be convicted. If I'm lucky, even the relationship between this man and Akiko won't be made public." Ye Liuzi seemed to have thought of some brilliant idea. "If you want this way, let me play this role." Wei Xu said, Ye Liuzi held her hands tightly. "This is not possible. This method has to be tolerated for a period of time, and you will lose your freedom for a period of time. If you are like this now, you will not be able to play Princess Florina. You have bet on yourself for this performance." everything." "Ye Liuzi..." "Don't show such an expression, there is only this that I can do for you. I have already taken away something more precious from you." Okay, hurry up, Ye Liuzi said to Wei Xu and Axizi, leave everything here to me. That justifiable self-defense case was planned against this background.From the fact that the police were unable to find out the truth, it can be seen how ingenious Ye Liuzi's handling was. Of course, Wei Xu had secretly made up his mind.If Ye Liuzi couldn't be acquitted, then he would surrender himself. Thank you, Ye Liuzi—— Wei Xu said softly. "Okay, Weixu, it's time for us to play." Yagyu, who played the blue bird, urged beside her.
