Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 89
Chapter 89: Light In The Cracks 22
With multi-angle pinhole camera surveillance, during Saturday’s lunch break, while Liu Yue and the Principal watched the surveillance footage at double speed in the Principal’s office, Liuli, who had Tuánzi as a cheat code, directly came over to help them reduce their workload.
“Principal, Teacher Liu. ”
“Lin Yao, what’s the matter that you’re looking for us? ”
“Bai Classmate and I have a good relationship. I’m a little uneasy about his participation in the performance this time, so I go to the auditorium to take a look every day. The performance is about to start, and I’ve been there several times today. I found that the direction of the spotlight on top of the auditorium stage this morning is different from when I just went to see it. I don’t know if there will be a problem. ”
The Principal immediately became alert, found a surveillance camera that could capture the spotlight, called up the morning’s footage, and dragged the progress bar to quickly search.
Liu Yue quickly saw something unusual flash by in a certain frame: “Principal, there’s a problem with that frame just now. ”
The Principal pulled the progress bar back and played it at normal speed. Sure enough, they saw a person sneaking into the auditorium, getting a ladder, tying hemp rope to the spotlight, and then unscrewing the spotlight’s screws.
Liuli also watched from the side. That person, Tuánzi said, was in the same class as Bai Xiyan, Bai Xiyan’s little follower.
Although it was already guessed that direct evidence to send Bai Xiyan in might not be obtained this time, getting rid of a little follower is also a warning. As long as they successfully graduate from high school, given Bai Xiyan’s grades, it’s impossible for her to be in the same school as Bai Zhiheng. Not being in the same place will definitely make things a lot calmer.
The Principal immediately went with Teacher Liu to check the tampered-with spotlight. The Principal originally taught chemistry, and this time they directly hit the mark. As soon as they got close, a familiar slightly irritating acidic smell entered the Principal’s nose: “This rope has been soaked in dilute sulfuric acid. It will slowly corrode. The degree of soaking determines when the rope will break. Considering that it’s still hanging a heavy object like a spotlight, it could be as fast as three hours, or at most six hours. ”
Liu Yue frowned and said, “That’s uncertain. How could it accurately harm a specific person? Doing such a thing because of personal conflict is too bad! ”
Liuli followed beside, and guessed the technique, but since Liu Yue said that, let them think that this was a method with great uncertainty.
According to her guess, Bai Xiyan’s planned method also had uncertainty, but it could definitely limit the range of victims to Bai Zhiheng. The degree of the rope’s soaking in dilute sulfuric acid could determine its approximate breaking time, and that time was definitely controlled within the time frame of Bai Zhiheng going on stage.
The spotlight can be moved on a track. The sturdy screws were replaced with hemp rope that was already extremely fragile due to corrosion by dilute sulfuric acid. As long as the spotlight is quickly moved towards Bai Zhiheng’s position when he goes on stage to perform, and the trajectory is calculated, at a certain point the spotlight quickly stops, the hemp rope tied to the spotlight will easily break, and the spotlight will be flung out to hit Bai Zhiheng.
In this way, the flying object, which is already difficult to avoid, combined with the interference of the lights, would most likely cause Bai Zhiheng to be directly injured…
As for hitting other classmates, the probability is not zero, but the person controlling the light can make the light avoid areas where other people are gathered.
So, the person controlling the lights is also Bai Xiyan’s accomplice, but the police will investigate this. The Principal has already called the police to investigate.
The scene certainly cannot be destroyed, so after asking the security guards to stand guard, the Principal announced through the school broadcast that the location of today’s performance was changed to the playground, adding a bonfire party. All students could come to dance and chat around the bonfire to release their academic pressure.
Because of Bai Zhiheng’s suggestion, the Principal had already prepared a backup plan, starting preparations after lunch break. With students and teachers helping, they quickly hung atmospheric colored lights around the playground and set up a bonfire area in the open space. After the performance, they would light the bonfire and start this memorable carnival.
Bai Xiyan’s little follower and the teacher who originally controlled the lights were taken away by the police for investigation. Bai Xiyan heard the broadcast announcement about the change of venue and knew that the plan had failed. With the school and police involved, she could only be law-abiding…
The performance began. Bai Zhiheng, wearing his school uniform, was no different from usual. He held the violin provided by the school and stood in the middle of the performance area.
People who play musical instruments seem to have extra charm. Although it was just his usual attire, the violin resting on his shoulder, the slight tilt of his head to hold it, all looked so pleasing to the eye.
Every stroke of the bow, every change of position, every glissando, captivated Liuli’s gaze.
When the bow rubbed against the strings, it was like the spring night tide of a stream flowing over pebbles, the moonlight breaking into silver stardust floating on the surface. The phrases flowing from the E string were like silk soaked in the fragrance of roses, gliding across the collarbone. The trembling resonance of the G string was like the sparks bursting from the burning oak in the fireplace. The resonance of the sound box was like the devout love one feels when facing the Bible.
This piece, 《A Praise of Love》, made the performer on stage seem to be enveloped in a holy light, making people involuntarily yearn for it.
Liuli thought this was definitely the best performance of the day, and the best she had ever seen.
After Bai Zhiheng finished his performance, he returned the violin to the music teacher in charge of instrument rentals and returned to Lin Yao. While he was on stage, he only glanced once and found the girl he longed for.
Liuli gave Bai Zhiheng a big thumbs up: “I didn’t expect Ah Heng to have such talent. You’re amazing. ”
Bai Zhiheng learned about Lin Yao’s situation at home that day. She probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn these things: “If Yao Yao wants to learn, I can teach you. ”
Liuli thought this was one of the ways to let Bai Zhiheng worry less about the darkness of society, and the violin sounded so good, she was indeed a little heart-fluttered: “Then let’s wait until after the College Entrance Examination. We have an agreement, after the College Entrance Examination, you will teach me how to play the violin. ”
“Okay, this is our first promise. ”
Liuli was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: “Then what about the second one? ”
“Yao Yao, do you have a university you want to apply to? ”
“It seems Ah Heng is very satisfied with me as a deskmate. Do you want to be classmates with me in university? ”
“Of course! ” He wished for more than just being classmates!
“Actually, I’ve been studying so hard, it’s just a habit. Studying has become a part of my life. At first, I just wanted to get even one word of praise from my mother…
Later, it became a way to get my tuition fees and living expenses. I don’t have a specific goal. Why don’t you tell me about your goal, Ah Heng? As long as we perform normally, there is no possibility of failing the exam. “
