Chapter 14 Sudden Death

  To clarify the shadow in the dance room, I plan to replace Zheng Meimei's position and practice dancing with Han Yu and others every day after school. Since I have never been in contact with dance before, I am always clumsy and dissatisfied with Han Yu and others. Yue Die is very patient and guides me carefully. During breaks, Han Yu usually stays alone, playing with her mobile phone, looking very uncooperative, sometimes even muttering to herself, don't know what she's saying.

  I recalled the time when Yezi Ke accompanied her to dinner, and I haven't asked Yezi Ke about the specific details yet. When we were practicing dance, that vague shadow was always standing on one side watching us, without any reaction. Thinking back to her previous hurtful behavior towards Yue Die, it made me involuntarily feel that she must have some kind of connection with Yue Die.

  "Niè hóng! You've messed up again!" Han Yu said with a face full of resentment, and the others also looked very dissatisfied. I awkwardly apologized nonstop. Yue Die, on the other hand, didn't seem to blame me, and instead smiled encouragingly at me. "If you mess up this time, you can just get out yourself!" Han Yu threw a white eye at me. The music started, and first was Yue Die's turn, followed by Han Yu. It was soon my turn, and I stood on the spot feeling somewhat uneasy. Suddenly, two hands grasped my arms, and I spun around with that force. I turned my head to see that it was that blurry shadow, stuck to my back and dancing with me. Although I was a bit scared in my heart, unsure of what this shadow's intentions were, thinking about the situation where I would be out if I messed up again made me follow her rhythm and dance together.

  I saw Yueshan staring at me with a strange gaze, but I didn't pay much attention to it. As I slid forward and turned around, I felt the shadow behind me easily take over, executing a smooth and beautiful slide in perfect sync with my turn. Yueshan, on the other hand, froze in place, her eyes filled with a terrified expression. "Let's take a break, everyone!" Yueshan exclaimed before running off. Han Yu didn't rest, instead continuing to practice her dance alone in front of the mirror, but for some reason, her movements were stiff and awkward, as if she was trying to do one move but ended up doing another.

  Just as I thought it was strange, I heard someone shouting: "Han Yu! What are you doing!" I stared at the Han Yu in the mirror, and that Han Yu was grasping his face with a ferocious expression. At this time, the practicing Han Yu was squatting on the ground, muttering to himself: "Say! Why did you cut my face with a knife? Say! Why are you so cruel!" I walked towards Han Yu, her back facing me, her hair covering her face. I stared at the mirror, and the face of the Han Yu in the mirror was already covered in scars, stiffly continuing to dance. But the squatting Han Yu had no sound anymore. One of the practicing girls ran forward and pushed Han Yu, saying: "Han Yu! Are you asleep?!" Han Yu fell to the ground, her scarred face, eyes wide open staring at the ceiling.

  "Ah!" Many people started screaming, I looked into the mirror, and that Han Yu was still dancing, only laughing more and more strangely, and soon fell to the ground, presenting the same posture and expression as Han Yu. I pulled one of the screaming girls and asked: "Did you just see the Han Yu in the mirror?" The girl screamed while shouting: "I don't know! Don't ask me!" Everyone started rushing out the door, only I stood still, staring at Han Yu's corpse wanting to see something.

  The white shadow walked up to me and said, "If you don't leave now, you might be suspected of being a suspect." Although I was reluctant, I pretended to be panicked and ran out the door. I followed those girls all the way out of the dance studio and called the police from the guard room. Soon, the police carried Han Yu's body out of the dance studio and began questioning us one by one about our situation at the time. But these girls just cried and couldn't say anything clearly, so the police had no choice but to ask Yue Die, who was surprisingly calm and said, "I wasn't on the scene when it happened, and I don't know the specific situation either. The kids are all scared, please come back tomorrow!" How could Yue Die be so calm? I couldn't see a hint of panic or confusion on her face. I looked up at the window of the dance studio, and that white shadow was also looking at me - would she be the one who killed Han Yu? But what motive did she have to kill Han Yu?

  Naguo Yun'er and Ye Zikui appeared on campus when I was sitting in the small garden analyzing this murder case. Naguo Yun'er still had a thousand-year-old icy face, saying: "The subway station's child hasn't been solved yet, and you've already made another thing happen." I stared into Naguo Yun'er's eyes and said: "The school has already locked down the news, how did you know? Or did you know early on that our school would have an incident?"

  "Oh, it seems you're a bit smarter now." Nagu Yun'er sat across from me, her eyes fixed on the Wen Ti building in the distance. Yezi Ke sat beside me and said: "That girl named Han Yu is really strange, yesterday when we had dinner together, she kept talking to herself and completely ignored my presence." I nodded and said: "Today was the same, she was also talking to herself, I don't know how but suddenly she stopped making a sound. What's even stranger is that after her death, the Han Yu in the mirror is still dancing."

  Nangong Yun'er sneered, "Ning Lie, how did Han Yu die?"

  "Her face was ruined, but I still don't understand what caused her death."

  "She didn't have plastic surgery? Such a beautiful face was ruined, doesn't that seem strange to you?" Nangong Yun'er said.

  "You mean the plastic surgery hospital?" Ye Zikai replied.

  Nangong Yun'er smiled and said, "It seems like you're more suitable to be my apprentice, unfortunately, you're already dead, so you can only be used as a puppet."

  When I heard Nangong Yun'er say this, I finally realized that Ye Zikai was indeed dead, it's just that Nangong Yun'er calling him a puppet made me feel very uncomfortable.

  "Here!" Yuan Nuo came running from afar, holding several bottles of water and handed one to each of us, saying: "I saw you guys talking from a distance, aren't you thirsty?" Na Gyun'er took a sip of water and said: "You're quite considerate!" "Yuan Nuo, didn't you encounter anything strange later on?" I asked. Yuan Nuo shook his head and said: "No, but it seems like you're hiding something from me."

  I drank water and said, "No!" "Hey! We've been together for so many years, you really won't tell?" I glared at him, too lazy to speak. "Why aren't you drinking water?" Yuan Nuo looked at Ye Zikuo's still water and said, "I'm not thirsty, I have something to do and will leave first!" The dead don't eat or drink, I remembered this matter.

  When I looked at Nagu Yun'er, Nagu Yun'er pulled out Yuan Nuoyi and said: "Why don't you accompany Ning Hong to a place tonight?" "What place?" Yuan Nuoyi asked. "Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital." Nagu Yun'er replied. "Ning Hong, are you thinking of having plastic surgery?!" Yuan Nuoyi asked. "What do you mean?" I said to Nagu Yun'er. "Yuan Nuoyi, I'm telling you formally, you've already gotten yourself into something bad. If you help Ning Hong resolve this matter, I can help you!" Nagu Yun'er didn't respond to my words, but instead said this to Yuan Nuoyi.

  Yuan Nuo smiled and said, "Little aunt, you can pretend! I was taken care of by you when I was a kid." Only then did I realize that they knew each other and were related. Yuan Nuo patted my shoulder and said, "Xiao Hong, the only thing I've kept from you is this little aunt of mine, she just came back recently. Last time I was also planning to go see her." Na Gu Yun'er said in a light tone, "Yuan Nuo, don't call me Little Aunt, just call me Na Gu Yun'er. Don't forget to go to Jia Ke Plastic Surgery Hospital tonight." After finishing speaking, Na Gu Yun'er quickly disappeared from our sight. It seems that Na Gu Yun'er also has secrets hidden on her body, one day I will investigate clearly, for now, I'll just check out Jia Ke Plastic Surgery Hospital.
