"Officer, it's useless for you to talk to me about this!" Principal Yang's voice came over the phone, "Regarding school reform is a major matter, and it has to be decided by the principal..."
"Stop talking nonsense," Zhao Yu shouted, "I will naturally ask your principal. What you need now is to tell me about the sponsors you know!
"I'm warning you," Zhao Yu solemnly warned, "every detail may be related to the case. If you hide something from me and don't report it, you should know the consequences!"
"I know, of course I know," Principal Yang said, "Don't worry, the ones who most hope the police can solve the case now are definitely us!
"Don't worry, as long as I know it, I will never hide it, but... Regarding the sponsor, you really have to ask the principal. I only heard something from the side. I really don't know the specific situation. What if I say something wrong and mislead you?"
"It doesn't matter, tell me what you know first!" Zhao Yu said coaxingly, "In your Heyang College or other institutions of higher learning, are there any sponsors that sponsor the renovation of old buildings?"
"Hey, you are asking the right person. I used to work in the Construction Office of the Education Commission," Principal Yang said. "To tell you the truth, the school will sponsor the construction of schools and buildings, but what about the renovation of old buildings? …
"Haha... Our Heyang College is really not short of that little money!"
"I heard," Zhao Yu asked, "Zhizhen Building was originally going to be demolished, but a sponsor suddenly appeared and the school changed its mind and finally decided to transform the old building into a museum?"
"No, no, no," Principal Yang quickly clarified, "This is not a sponsor that suddenly appeared. Li Mingyuan graduated from our Heyang Normal University. He has done a lot of charity in recent years and often cooperates with our school!"
"Li Mingyuan?" Zhao Yu repeated the unfamiliar name and asked, "Is he the sponsor?"
"Well..." Principal Yang then realized that he had fallen into Zhao Yu's trap and had no choice but to say frankly, "Yes! Li Mingyuan is a 2006 graduate of our Heyang Normal University. After graduation, he founded Mingyuan Culture Company. It has grown bigger and bigger, and now it is a famous entrepreneur in Chengzhou!
"This kid never forgets his roots. He often participates in charity activities and donates a lot of money!" Principal Yang introduced, "Our school has held several large-scale activities before, and Li Mingyuan also cooperated with us."
Class of 2006
Zhao Yu thought about it in his mind. This person's age obviously did not match the murder diary. It seemed that this person was not suspected
"Then..." However, Zhao Yu still emphasized, "Tell me more about the renovation of Zhizhen Building! Did Li Mingyuan initiate this matter, or did your school find him?"
"Oh, officer, I can't answer this question for you!" Principal Yang said, "Actually, the retention and transformation of Zhizhen Building has always been a difficult problem for previous leaders of the school.
“We are divided into two groups internally. Some are in favor of demolishing old buildings and rushing to build new buildings or stadiums!
“The other part thinks that this building is a landmark building of Heyang Normal University and should not be demolished casually. It should be renovated and turned into a museum of our college!
"I remember that as early as 2005, when the Zhizhen Building was closed, the president finally made the decision to demolish the building, but..." President Yang recalled, "after applying to demolish the Education Committee, it was rejected. !
"It turns out that there are differences in the Education Committee regarding the Zhizhen Building. Some people are worried that demolishing this century-old building will cause negative impacts on students and society, so the matter has been delayed until now...
“This year, the Education Committee has changed its term,” said Principal Yang. “So, the University Principal put Zhizhen Tower on the agenda again. Starting from the end of the year, several discussion meetings were held intermittently until last month. Only then did we finally decide to retain the Zhizhen Building and transform it into a school museum!
"As for how the sponsor Li Mingyuan came about, I don't know," Principal Yang said, "Because he runs a cultural company, he has a good relationship with the Education Committee. I feel like it should be the Education Committee. After making the decision, you looked for him, right
“After all, few people would agree to something like renovating an old building!
"But..." Principal Yang said hesitantly, "If it is Li Mingyuan who found the Education Committee on his own initiative, it is not impossible... Tsk tsk... In my opinion, you can ask our university principal, or the Construction Office of the Education Committee...
"That's all I know!"
"Okay! Principal Yang," Zhao Yu reminded solemnly, "I heard that you are the most well-informed person in the school. So, starting from tomorrow, you can help me find out about sponsor Li Mingyuan!
"You are a smart person. If you can really help us solve the case, you can go! It will only benefit you, no harm. This is an excellent opportunity!"
"Um... this..." Principal Yang hesitated and asked, "Officer, I am quite familiar with Li Mingyuan. You don't suspect that he is related to this case in the school, right?"
"Whether it is related or not depends on the evidence!" Zhao Yu said seriously, "In this Li Mingyuan, I just want to know about the issue of initiative!
"If the Education Committee and the school found Li Mingyuan and asked him to sponsor the renovation of Zhizhen Building, then there would be no problem.
"But," Zhao Yu said loudly, "if Li Mingyuan took the initiative to contact the education committee or school and asked the leaders to transform the Zhizhen Building into a museum, then the nature... would be completely different!"
"Oh... I understand, I understand..." Principal Yang swallowed and said fearfully, "If the Zhizhen Building is transformed into a museum, then the bones hidden in the garbage can no longer be discovered. !”
"So," Zhao Yuyan said, "just understand the nature of this matter. I will send you the phone number. Please reply to me as soon as possible!"
"Okay, officer, I understand everything!" Principal Yang promised, "Tomorrow, I will help you find out the news! I don't care whether I get meritorious service or not, I just hope that the real murderer can be caught quickly and the victim girls can be rewarded. justice!"
Zhao Yu gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
However, while the phone was still in the air, he called Zeng Ke directly, woke Zeng Ke up from his sleep, and ordered:
"Zeng Ke, please remember a name and check this person's background for me now!"
With that said, Zhao Yu told Zeng Ke the information about Li Mingyuan, and then said: "Also, contact Cui Lizhu tomorrow. I don't care what method you use, I need to get Li Mingyuan's DNA as soon as possible!!!"
