“If you want to do that, we should first find the principal of the primary school. After finding the principal, he should be able to recall some of the situation in the school at that time.”

“The principal at that time?”

After hearing this, Xu Wenping frowned.

Initially, he thought that he would start investigating the old man who was guarding the door. However, he did not expect that his attention would be focused on the principal now.

“That’s right. Moreover, Yuying Primary School has been demolished for more than five years. Even if you look for the old personnel information, it’s probably gone. So, you can only ask the principal back then.”

“The problem is that I don’t even know who the principal is. However, it’s still quite convenient on the internet now. If I search for it, I think I should be able to find some clues.”

“Hehe, Director Xu, why is this matter so coincidental? You don’t have to search for it because I know this principal.”

Assistant Xiao Zhou’s words stunned Xu Wenping.

What was going on? He had just taken out his phone and was about to search for some relevant information. He did not expect that he would actually give him such a big gift.

“W-what did you say? You, you know him? How do you know him? Oh, did you say that you also went to this primary school back then?”

“1 definitely studied at Yuying Primary School. There’s one more thing. The principal is actually my uncle.”

“Your uncle?”

“That’s right. My uncle worked at Yuying Primary School for his entire life. If I remember correctly, he worked there for 47 years. It was only after the school was demolished that he was transferred to another school. I believe that no one knows this school better than my uncle.”

“But the key problem is that there are so many people in the school. Besides, I’m just looking for a gatekeeper. If he’s really a core teacher, perhaps your uncle will still remember him.”

“You’re wrong. My uncle knows everything about the school very well. He knows how many people there are, what their names are, what their families are like, and how many years they’ve worked.”

“That’s great. Then, then Xiao Zhou, can you think of a way to introduce me to your uncle?”

“No problem, Director Xu. If you really need it, I can drive you to him now.”

“That’s great. I’ve already spoken to the company over the past few days. I might need to investigate some things, so we won’t go to the company for the time being.”

“Okay, no problem. I’ll bring you there now.”

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and the car disappeared from sight.

To be honest, Xu Wenping was very excited. If he could find the principal, he might be able to recall this matter.

“By the way, Director Xu, why are you suddenly so interested in an old man who guards the school? Could it be that he is related to you by blood?”

“No, I’m looking for to ask him about the truth of what happened back then.”

“The truth of what happened back then?”

“That’s right. Do you remember the incident where a girl went missing in Yuying Primary School?”

“Oh, I remember now. Didn’t they say that the girl went into the river and was washed away by the water?”

“This matter is only a rough deduction. Moreover, the technical conditions back then were somewhat limited, so there was no way to prove it completely.” “But, from what I remember, this girl seems to be called something like ‘Hui’?”

“Xu Wenhui.”

After saying this, Assistant Xiao Zhu suddenly froze for a moment. Then, he turned around and looked at Xu Wenping, who was sitting next to him.

“Xu Wenping, Xu Wenhui, could it be?”

“Yes, she is my elder sister.”

“Oh, so it’s that kind of relationship. Director Xu, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know that there was such a relationship between the two of you.”

“It’s okay. It’s been so many years. To be honest, I’ve been busy and muddle-headed all this time. I’ve never thought of looking for clues about Big Sister. But now that my job has finally stabilized, I want to continue investigating this clue.”

“You want to investigate the truth of what happened ten years ago. I think it’s very difficult. Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s see what Uncle thinks about what happened back then.”

As he spoke, he drove. After about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a very old building.

“Does your uncle live here?”

After getting out of the car, Xu Wenping looked at the house. At the very least, it was almost 50 years old.

“He’s been living here all this time. Besides, my uncle doesn’t have any children. He’s dedicated his entire life to his education career. So, I come over to visit him every now and then. Come up with me. He should be at home at this time.”

As he spoke, he followed his assistant, Xiao Zhou, and the two of them went straight to the second floor.

After arriving at the door, he did not knock. Instead, he took out a key from his pocket and opened the door.

It seemed that Xiao Zhou’s words were not wrong because he seemed to come here often. There was no need to knock at all. He just needed to take out the key and open the door.

“Who is it?”

“Uncle, it’s me.”

“Oh, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at the company at this time?”

At this moment, a hunched old man walked out of the room. His hair had completely turned white. He held a walking stick and walked out shakily.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

When he saw the stranger behind him, he hesitated.

“Oh, who is this? This, this house has guests. Look, why didn’t you tell uncle in advance? I’m glad I made tea.”

“Uncle, there’s no need to be busy. This is my boss. We call him Director Xu.”

“Oh, Director Xu. Come, Director Xu, please sit down.”

“Principal Zhou, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I have something to ask you, so I specially came to visit. I’m really sorry to disturb you.”

“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay. Come, sit down. Let’s sit down and talk. Go to the kitchen and get a pot of hot water.”

“There’s no need to run back and forth. We’ll come over and sit down. Then, we’ll ask you a few questions. We’ll leave soon. Come, Xiao Zhou, sit here too.”

Xiao Zhou nodded when he heard that. Then, he sat down next to Principal Zhou.

“Uncle, actually, do you still remember that our school lost a girl back then?”

“Losing a girl, of course I remember. This is probably a stain on my life because in all my years of working in education, such a thing has never happened. Now that I think about it, it’s really a pity.”

It seemed that his memory was fine. Everything that happened back then was still fresh in his mind..
