The sky was still gloomy, with gray and black clouds accumulating over the city, and water droplets fell densely, but the rain was not as heavy as last night.
After a night of heavy rain, the streets were full of water, and the downstairs of the urban village turned into a turbulent stream.
Xu Shuo watched the videos and learned all night, and in the morning he finally gave himself a look that was acceptable, making him look much healthier.
Then, he picked out a black long-sleeved dance suit for himself, with white stockings and a puffed-up white gauze skirt on his lower body. This color scheme should also be able to hide the abnormality of his body.
I hope I can successfully choose one of those three people today.
After Xu Shuo finished cleaning himself, he stood downstairs in a white dress and black leather shoes, staring at the stream in front of him, lost in thought.
If there is a problem with the drainage system in the old city, even a night of rain will not be able to drain it clean. What's more, in such a dirty urban village, insect-eaten vegetable leaves mixed with unknown things will drain the water in front of the corridor.
Dyed in weird colors.
Xu Shuo looked at the scope of the water flow, calculated the distance and was about to jump over. At this time, a shout suddenly came from the front——
"Miss Akiko!"
Xu Shuo, who almost jumped out, staggered and regained his balance.
He looked up and saw a car slowly reversing from the crowded street and finally stopped in front of him.
Officer Zhang looked at him with a smile and said, "Why didn't you send me a message yesterday? Didn't you tell me that you would tell me when you got home?"
Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, then said sheepishly: "Sorry, I forgot. I was too tired when I got back so I went to bed first."
After you go back, you will be busy collecting information. Who will care about you?
Moreover, the police officer seemed to be busy with something yesterday. After the two exchanged contact information, she left in a hurry and did not send any more messages at night to ask anything.
They obviously forgot about each other!
"Forget it, I forgive you~" Officer Zhang looked at him, and then said: "Are you going to the dance studio? I just have work to go there to investigate today, so I'll take you there."
Xu Shuo glanced at her silently. Regardless of whether the police station was passing by here or not, this person was probably targeting him.
Then, a sweet smile appeared on his face: "Sorry to trouble you."
After all, if you don’t ride on the free bus, it’s a waste.
Officer Zhang was not wearing a police uniform today, and even the car was a private car. But Xu Shuo didn't ask a single word about the work and investigation she mentioned.
The seats and inner walls of the car were quite old and shabby. It looked like an old car. The sky was gloomy and it was drizzling. The wiper only started working after a while, and the creaking sound was a bit noisy.
The speed of the car was not fast. When they passed the alley last night, Xu Shuo and Officer Zhang glanced at each other in unison.
The alley also leads to the village in the city, and the narrow passage is clearly visible. At this time, someone happened to come out, someone who had just come down from upstairs.
During the day, this alley doesn't look so scary.
I don’t know what the female police officer encountered here yesterday.
Soon, the building where the dance practice room is located arrived. After Xu Shuo got out of the car, Officer Zhang drove away. It seemed that he really had something to do nearby.
Xu Shuo went up to the sixth floor, said hello to the security guard at the door, and then walked to the dance practice room.
The entire floor was very quiet, the lights in the corridor were a little pale, and there were no people in the other dance studios. It was as quiet as a forgotten place.
But when he came to the door of the dance practice room where he was last night, he heard a small sound inside, like the dull sound of footsteps tapping the floor.
Xu Shuo opened the door and saw a tall figure practicing dancing in front of the mirror, standing on tiptoes and swaying in a showy and wanton manner.
He glanced at it silently and walked toward the lounge against the wall.
"Qiuzi?" At this time, the dancer shouted, she did not look back, she just looked at the person in the mirror.
The woman was about twenty-five or sixty-six years old, with a rigid and serious expression. She glanced at the petite figure in the mirror and said lightly: "You don't seem to be in good spirits?"
Xu Shuo turned to look at her. This woman also appeared in Qiuzi's photo album. She was one of the three people. She seemed to be an elder. The girls all looked very respectful to her.
He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "It rained when I went back last night, so I caught a cold."
The woman turned her body around, slowly put away her last posture, looked at her expressionlessly and said: "The competition between you will soon begin. It is not a good thing to be sick at this time."
"I'm sorry." Xu Shuo lowered his head.
With his lowered eyes, he noticed the shadow approaching. The woman silently walked to his side, stretched out her hand and lifted the girl's chin.
The woman still had no expression on her face and looked very mean. She said calmly: "You are the student I am most satisfied with. In fact, I hope that you will be the one who plays the role in the end, so don't let me down."
Student? She is Qiuzi’s dance teacher?
Xu Shuo recalled the phone's address book, found the only identifiable name, and said tentatively: "I know, Teacher Changying, I won't let you down."
The woman raised her lips with satisfaction, let him go and said, "Go and change clothes quickly."
Xu Shuo nodded obediently, turned around and walked into the lounge. The moment their backs were turned, the smiles on the two people's faces instantly faded, and their eyes deepened.
——Will it be a player?
In this kind of game, the most troublesome thing is actually not the NPCs who hide various stories for you to crack, but the players who may be against you.
After all, tasks are contradictory situations.
Just like a detective and a murderer, one is trying to find the truth and the other is hiding himself. One of them will always fail.
…
Xu Shuo changed out of his regular clothes in the bathroom, looked at his excessively pale and cold skin, and recalled the reaction of the dance teacher just now. The other person seemed not to know that "she" had died.
Choose one of the three, and you can exclude one for the time being. Of course, it may be that the other party's acting skills are too superb, and there is nothing abnormal at all.
However, Xu Shuo still felt that the murderer was most likely a competitive partner.
Who makes Qiuzi seem to be favored by the teacher?
Xu Shuo put on tight-fitting dance clothes, and his delicate yet powerful body was outlined in the mirror. Qiuzi's figure is very good, and she will definitely be graceful when dancing.
But now there is a crucial question.
He can't dance ballet!
Let a manly man play the role of a girl who can dance. Who on earth came up with this stupid script?!
Xu Shuo cursed in his heart and tied up his hair, thinking about how to deal with it later. Although he couldn't dance ballet, his body still had some instincts.
Why don't you go straight to a bad state and twist your foot?
Just when he was thinking about this, there was a sudden bumping sound in the lounge, followed by the sound of two girls talking.
"Is there anyone in the toilet?"
"Is it Qiuzi? She is always the first to come!"
"How...how is it possible..."
In the bathroom, Xu Shuo's eyes were blank and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
