“Tell me, what happened back then? Also, what did you do to my sister?”

“What, you, your sister?”

“That’s right. The girl who went missing back then is called Xu Wenhui. She’s my biological sister, and I’m her younger brother. My name is Xu Wenping.” “Why are you looking for this matter again after so many years?”

“Because I don’t think she’s dead at all. Besides, everything that happened back then felt strange and completely unrelated to normal circumstances.”

“That day, I remember it very clearly. Actually, when school was about to end, the students swarmed out as usual. However, 1 didn’t wait at the door at all because I had something to do and left first. However, this had never happened in so many years.”

“What is it? Left? Why did you leave?”

“At that time, 1 had no choice. So, when 1 found out that a girl had gone missing and everyone was questioning me, I discussed it with Principal Zhou. He said that I absolutely couldn’t admit that I wasn’t on duty at that time. Otherwise, it would affect my work. So, 1 could only insist that she had indeed left the school.”

“Is this how you take responsibility? Moreover, you’ve been leading others the wrong way. Perhaps she didn’t leave the school at all. Perhaps, if you had searched in the school at that time, you would have been able to find her.” “Actually, after the incident, we searched the school carefully. There was indeed no one. Therefore, we deduced that she should have left. However, 1 don’t know where she went after she left and how she disappeared.”

“Let me ask you, what exactly happened in school back then?”

“Everything was normal. Nothing happened.”

“Impossible. Think about it carefully. Other than the students going to school and the teachers going to work normally, was there anything else special?” “Oh, if you put it that way, it seems like there really was something. Because that day, someone specially came to the school to take a look at the environment because they were preparing to renovate the school. 1 remember that the contractor came to the school at that time.”

“The contractor?”

“Yes, it was Zhuyang Real Estate.”

“Zhuyang Real Estate?”

“Yes, it’s Zhuyang Real Estate. They were determined to make changes based on their performance, but after this incident, the matter was ignored and put on hold.”

Xu Wenping seemed to have some impression of it. In his impression, Zhuyang Real Estate should be a relatively large local developer.

“Who came to school from Zhuyang Real Estate?”

“I’m not sure, and I don’t know who they are. Anyway, they arrived at the school very early and stayed there to investigate. They didn’t leave until the second day.”

“What is it? Leaving on the second day? Could it be that they didn’t leave that day?”

“They didn’t leave that day.”

“When they found out that a student was missing, how did they react?”

“There was no reaction. Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with them, right?”

“Zhuyang Real Estate? That means that when they went there, they must have contacted someone in the school. Who is that person? Is it Principal Zhou?” “Yes, it should be Principal Zhou.”

“Alright, I got it. Other than these, was there anything else strange happening?”

“There was one more thing. A few years after the incident, the school suddenly requested to be demolished. I felt that it was very strange at that time. Normally, the school would not be demolished. In the first two years, they were still talking about a large-scale renovation. Who knew that it would end up like that? Moreover, they even wanted to demolish it again.”

“Demolished? Who made this decision?”

“It’s still Zhuyang Real Estate.11

“Are you saying that they were the one who wanted to build it and they were the one who wanted to tear it down?”

“Yes, that’s it.1’

“Alright, I understand.”

“But, but my house?”

As he spoke, he looked painfully at the place where the fire had just started. Now, the fire had been extinguished, but the smoke and dust had not disappeared.

Then, Xu Wenping took out a check from his pocket that he had prepared in advance. On it was a full 100,000 yuan.

“According to the current market value, this 100,000 yuan is enough to buy the entire village. Therefore, it should be more than enough.”

“Take this 100,000 yuan. From now on, you can live a carefree life. I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, so I won’t blame you. It’s been so long. 1 don’t want to bring up the past again.”

“You, you really, you really intend to let this matter pass just like that?”

“That’s impossible. 1 have to go back to the city and investigate Zhuyang Real Estate. I suspect that my sister s matter has something to do with Zhuyang Real Estate.”

“Alright, alright.”

As Old Li spoke, he nodded vigorously. Then, Xu Wenping turned around and walked into the village.

Since he felt that he could not get any more information from him, he felt that there was really no need to stay in this place.

“Yes, Director Xu, how is it? I’ve already extinguished the fire on this side. There’s not much of a problem. However, I’m afraid that the house can’t be preserved. There’s no way to build it again.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already seen him and compensated him. Let’s hurry back to town and get in the bus. We have to return to rhe city immediately.”

“What is it? Go back immediately? Director Xu, do you have any important clues?”

“That’s right. I did get some useful clues from him. At that time, he didn’t even know if my sister had left the school. Ail of this was only a decision he made after discussing it with Principal Zhou.”

“What is it? After discussing it? In other words, this matter really has something to do with my uncle, right?”

“Yes, your uncle did it out of good intentions. If he wasn’t on duty at that time, the Education Department would have set up a special task force to investigate this matter. It’s very likely that they would have fired him. It was to protect his job, so they could only do that.”

“How could this be? If we had known that she never left school, perhaps we would have gotten a different result.. Now that a full ten years have passed, how should we investigate?’1
