When Xu Wenping saw his current attitude, he actually let out a long sigh of relief.

He was really worried that he would not be able to find anyone who knew about the incident back then. Otherwise, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. There would be no news at all.

“Principal Zhou, you don’t have to be too sad. Moreover, this matter has already happened so many years ago.”

“That’s right. Since it’s been so many years and she’s already dead. Why are you still asking about this today? You, you and her?”

At this point, Principal Zhou seemed to have thought of something. He frowned slightly and sized up Xu Wenping.

“You really don’t say. If you look at it like this, the two of you really have similarities. Wait a minute, what did you say your name was? His name is Xu Wenping, right?”

“That’s right, Uncle. He’s Xu Wenping. Moreover, the girl who went missing back then, Xu Wenhui, is his biological sister.”

“That’s right, that’s right. No wonder. When I first came in, I had a very strange feeling. It turns out that the two of you are biological siblings. But, so many years have passed, why are you still holding on to this matter?”

“Because I always felt that my sister did not die at all.”

“What? Didn’t die? This, this is impossible, right? Didn’t someone say that she left the school and then disappeared near the river?”

“However, after searching for so long, even if she’s dead, after so many years, there hasn’t been any news of her. However, there are still no clues.”

“Two years ago, during the river reconstruction project, that place had actually been dug flat. However, during the excavation process, there was no abnormality at all. If they really dug out corpses or bones, this matter would definitely cause a sensation in the entire city.”

“It’s because of this that I find this matter unbelievable. Moreover, there must be something else behind her disappearance back then. I just want to investigate what exactly happened back then.”

“I just remember that back then, Xu Wenhui was in school normally. I remember asking her form teacher about any abnormal behavior after the accident. He said that everything was normal and that there was nothing unusual. After school, everything was the same as before.”

“The key question is, what happened the moment she went out of the school gate? Also, what time did she leave school back then? When she left, did anyone see her? It seemed that amongst all the witnesses, there was only one person who opened the door back then, and that was what he described.”

“Are you talking about Old Li?”

“Old Li? I’m not sure. I only remember that the guard at the gate was an old man. He said that after my sister left here with her bag, she walked to the right side, but since then, he hasn’t seen her figure again.”

“Ah, that’s Old Li. He was the only one at the school gate at that time. However, this guy was still dutifully guarding his job and never had any problems. It was only when he retired a few years ago that the school was demolished, so he returned to his hometown.”

“Hometown? Where is his hometown?”

“Oh, his hometown isn’t very far from here. If we drive, it should take about four hours. We should be able to get there.”

“Have you contacted him recently?”

“Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence. Last week, I even called him to see how he was doing. After all, we’ve been friends for so many years, so it’s normal for me to be concerned.”

“So you mean that he’s still healthy?”

“You can’t say that he’s healthy. He had a cerebral hemorrhage last year. Now, he’s paralyzed in bed.”

“What? He’s paralyzed in bed? Then, then he, then is he?”

“Don’t worry, he’s only paralyzed, and his mind is still clear. His speech isn’t affected. That’s how it was the last time 1 called him. I even talked to him for a long time. There shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Principal Zhou, can you give me his address? I need to rush over to meet him right now. I want to ask him if what he saw back then was true.”

“You know what? Back then, more than one person came to ask him about this matter. The answer he gave everyone was the same. That is, he saw this girl go out with his own eyes. However, if you ask now, 1 don’t think there should be any objections.”

“It might be reasonable for others to ask, but after so many years, I want to ask him again. I want to see if he can tell me the exact same thing as back then.”

“He’s already so old. Moreover, a full ten years have passed. If you ask him to describe the scenes that happened back then word by word, I think it’s a little too difficult for him.”

“It’s okay. I won’t force him. I just want to see him and have a good chat with him. After all, he was the last person to see my sister. Principal Zhou, I hope you can help me with this.”

When Xu Wenping spoke now, he was practically lowering his voice.

It was because he had gradually felt that Principal Zhou was not willing to talk too much about the inside story from back then.

After all, if a girl’s life disappeared near the school, then this principal must have some sort of connection.

The reason why he did not want others to mention this matter again was probably because he wanted to hide some of the inside information he knew back then.

But the key question was, what exactly did he know?

He believed that it was impossible to break through from there directly. Therefore, he could only start from the guard and slowly plan.

“Alright, if you insist on going, 1 won’t stop you. Bring me a pen and paper.”

As he spoke, he pointed in that direction. Xiao Zhou hurriedly stood up and walked over. He took out a yellowed notebook and an old pen..
