Before the two of them even asked him, he had already started the topic and was ready to tell everyone about this matter. He knew that since they had already returned from the village and met Old Li, it meant that everything should have been completely exposed.
It would probably be meaningless for them to ask him again. He might as well tell them about these things himself. Perhaps they would understand a little.
“Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it. Director Xu is very understanding. Also, why did you ask Old Li to lie back then? He was clearly not there, and he clearly did not see those things. Why did you ask him to say that he must have seen her?”
“First of all, 1 was also considering the school’s performance. If I really suspected that this student was killed in the school, then the school couldn’t continue to operate. Moreover, my reputation will be greatly affected.” “Alright, what about the second point?”
“The second point is that it was not easy to find such a job. At that time, the Education Department had already intervened and started to investigate the matter. If I said that he was not on duty at that time, then he definitely could not keep his job. It was indeed not easy for him to find a job. Moreover, he had been conscientious for so many years and had never made any mistakes. I could not ruin his future just because of this one time. Therefore, I discussed it with him privately. We couldn’t let him say anything.”
“Other than these two points, is there anything else? Don’t you feel pain in your hearts?” Xu Wenping suddenly asked.
Principal Zhou raised his head to look at him. He realized that Principal Zhou was filled with worry.
“Young man, I’ve let you down, and I’ve let your family down as well. 1 did hide this secret back then, but 1 always felt that if I did so, perhaps others would receive a fairer treatment. 1 know that I’ve indeed wronged you.”
“Forget it, this matter is already in the past. Besides, 1 can understand his explanation in the village. Also, 1 want to ask you something. How much do you know about Zhuyang Real Estate?”
When he said this, he saw Principal Zhou suddenly move. Moreover, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes.
“What do you mean? Zhuyang Real Estate, what does this have to do with Zhuyang Real Estate?”
“Because Old Li mentioned an important clue to me. He said that on the day my sister went missing, the people from Zhuyang Real Estate entered the school and didn’t leave until the second day.”
“Yes, I know about this. However, Zhuyang Real Estate was only here to survey the school’s physical condition. Moreover, they were preparing to rebuild the school on its original foundation. This had nothing to do with your sister’s disappearance, right?”
“No, I’m just trying to connect all the impossible clues and then check them one by one. If I’m sure that there’s no relationship, then those three people won’t be in any trouble. However, I feel that this matter is strange, so I want to continue to observe.”
“Zhuyang Real Estate was indeed in school at that time. What exactly do you want to ask?”
“I want to ask, those people from Zhuyang Real Estate who participated in the survey of the school should have contacted you directly. Why didn’t you tell them about this? During the investigation, no one mentioned this matter?”
“Because this is a permanent stain on my reputation. Zhuyang Real Estate wasn’t the one who took over the school project. Their people found me privately and gave me some money.”
“Gave you money? Do you mean that it’s because of this that you handed this project over to them?”
“That’s right, that’s true. 1 was also afraid that my reputation would be damaged, so I didn’t say a word about it. Fortunately, the matter of rebuilding the school was temporarily put on hold because of the disappearance of the student. After a year, the school was demolished.”
“Don’t you think it’s strange? A perfectly fine school was suddenly demolished. Moreover, what exactly are they trying to hide?”
“I’m not sure about that, but I feel that it’s a coincidence that Zhuyang Real Estate was still the one who took over the demolition project. It’s just that the few people 1 dealt with never showed up.”
“Who were those three people?”
“One of them has become the vice president of Zhuyang Real Estate. He is called Yang Yang. I’m not familiar with the other two, but I don’t have a deep impression of the two men he brought over.”
“In other words, this Yang Yang is the one who really knows about it, right?” “That’s right. Why? Do you still want to suspect that this matter has something to do with their real estate company or even Yang Yang?”
“Yes, I’ve always suspected that my sister’s disappearance had something to do with them. Also, Old Li gave us an important clue before we left. He said that when the three of them left the next day, the windows of their van were all covered up. I strongly suspect that my sister should have been in that van at that time and was brazenly taken out of school by him.”
“What? She, she was in their van? How, how is that possible?”
“Let me ask you, if he was exploring in school normally, would he spend the night here?”
“If you put it that way, it seems a little strange. In the afternoon, they told me that they wanted to spend another night at school until the next morning because they still needed to see some special terrain at night and that they hadn’t finished their work in the morning. At that time, I didn’t think much about it and agreed.”
“Who made this request?”
“Yang Yang.”
“Other than these, is there anything else?”
“No, those people were there to help us rebuild the school, so 1 naturally didn’t want to reject them. So, we arranged a room for them to rest in the staff dormitory. But, strangely, they didn’t go to rest that night. I’m not sure where they were because I was also involved in the search for the missing student that night, so 1 didn’t pay attention to the situation at the school..”
