"Police officer, there's no use talking to me about this!" Principal Yang's voice came through the phone. "Regarding the school's renovation, it's a big deal. It's up to the principal …"
"Cut the crap," Zhao Yu shouted. "I'll naturally ask your principal. What you need to do now is tell me everything you know about the sponsor!
"I'm warning you," Zhao Yu warned seriously. "Every detail could be related to the case. If you hide anything from me, you should know the consequences!"
"I know, of course I know," Principal Yang said. "Don't worry, we're the ones who want the police to solve the case the most!
"Don't worry, as long as I know, I won't hide anything. But … regarding the sponsor, you really have to ask the principal. I only heard some things from the side. I really don't know the specifics. If I say something wrong, it won't be good to mislead you, right?"
"Don't worry, tell me what you know first!" Zhao Yu said. "In your He Yang College, or any other universities, are there any sponsors for renovation of old buildings?"
"Oh, you've asked the right person. I used to work in the Ministry of Education's Office of Construction," Principal Yang said. "To tell you the truth, the school will only look for sponsors when it comes to building buildings. But for renovation of old buildings …"
"Hehe … Our He Yang College doesn't lack that bit of money!"
"I heard," Zhao Yu asked, "that the Zhenzhen building was originally going to be demolished, but a sponsor suddenly appeared and made the school change their mind. In the end, they decided to turn the old building into a museum?"
"No, no, no," Principal Yang hurriedly clarified. "It's not a sponsor that popped up out of nowhere. Li Mingyuan graduated from Heyang Normal University. He's done a lot of charity work over the years. He often cooperates with our school!"
"Li Mingyuan?" Zhao Yu repeated the unfamiliar name and asked, "He's the sponsor?"
"Mm …" Principal Yang realized that he had fallen into Zhao Yu's trap. He had to be honest. "Yes! Li Mingyuan graduated from our He Yang Normal College in 2006. After graduation, he founded his own Mingyuan Culture Company. The company grew bigger and bigger. Now, he's a famous entrepreneur in Chengzhou!
"This kid doesn't forget his roots. He often participates in charity activities and donates a lot!" Principal Yang explained. "Previously, our school organized a few large-scale activities, and Li Mingyuan cooperated with us."
Grade 2006?
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment. This person's age was obviously inconsistent with the murder diary. It seemed that this person was not a suspect.
"Then …" Zhao Yu emphasized, "Tell me in detail about the renovation of Zhizhen Tower! Did Li Mingyuan take the initiative to suggest this, or did the school look for him? "
"Aiyo, officer, this question … I can't answer you!" Headmaster Yang said, "Actually, the transformation of the Zhi Zhen Building has always been a difficult problem for the school's previous leaders.
"We were divided into two factions internally. One faction was in favor of demolishing the old building and rushing in to build a new building or a stadium!
"The other group believes that this building is the symbol of He Yang Normal University. It shouldn't be torn down so easily. We should renovate it and make it into our school's museum!
"I remember that when the Zizhen Building was closed in 2005, the headmaster finally made the decision to demolish the building, but …" Headmaster Yang recalled, "After he applied to overthrow the Board of Education, he was rejected!
"It turns out that regarding the Zizhen Tower, the Board of Education was also divided. Some people were worried that the demolition of the century-old building would negatively affect the students and society, so the matter was delayed until now …" Headmaster Yang said.
"This year, the Board of Education changed," Headmaster Yang said. "So, the headmaster put the Zizhen Tower on the agenda again. Starting from the end of the year, there were a few discussions. Until last month, they finally decided to keep the Zizhen Tower and turn it into a school museum!"
"As for how Li Mingyuan came to be the sponsor, I don't know," Headmaster Yang said. "Because he runs a cultural company, so he has a good relationship with the Board of Education. I think that after the Board of Education made the decision, they found him, right?"
"After all, not many people would agree to renovate an old building!
"But …" Headmaster Yang said hesitantly. "If Li Mingyuan approached the Board of Education, it's not impossible … Tsk tsk … In my opinion, you can ask our headmaster, or the Construction Office of the Board of Education …"
"That's all I know!"
"Alright! Headmaster Yang, "Zhao Yu said solemnly." I heard that you are the most well-informed person in the school. How about this, starting from tomorrow, help me find out more about the sponsor, Li Mingyuan!
"You are a smart person. If you can really help us solve the case, you should go ahead! It will only be good for you, no harm. This is a great opportunity! "
"Mm … This …" Headmaster Yang hesitated, then asked, "Police officer, I am quite familiar with Li Mingyuan. Are you suspecting that he is related to the school's case?"
"Whether he is related or not depends on the evidence!" Zhao Yu said seriously. "I only want to know about Li Mingyuan's initiative!
If the Board of Education and the school found Li Mingyuan and asked him to sponsor the renovation of the Zizhen Tower, then there is no problem.
"But," Zhao Yu said firmly, "if Li Mingyuan took the initiative to contact the Board of Education or the school, and asked the leaders to transform the Zizhen Tower into a museum, then the nature of the case … is completely different!"
"Oh … I understand, I understand …" Headmaster Yang swallowed and said fearfully, "If the Zizhen Tower is transformed into a museum, then the bones hidden in the garbage will never be found again!"
"So," Zhao Yu said, "it's good that you understand the nature of the case. I will send you the phone number, so write me a reply as soon as possible!"
"Okay, police officer, I understand everything!" Headmaster Yang promised. "Tomorrow, I will help you find out more information! I don't care if I make a contribution or not, I just hope that the murderer can be caught quickly, and justice will be served to those girls! "
Zhao Yu reminded her a few more times before hanging up the phone.
However, while the phone was still in the air, he sent another call to Zeng Ke, waking him up from his slumber, and ordered, "Don't worry.
He ordered, "Zeng Ke, write down a name, and investigate this person's background for me now!"
Then, Zhao Yu told Zeng Ke about Li Mingyuan's information, then said, "Also, contact Cui Lizhu tomorrow. I don't care what you do, I need to get Li Mingyuan's DNA as soon as possible!"
