105: Principal, you don't have to pay attention to those policemen.

As for this white bone case, what did it have to do with him?

"Alright, then you speak, a bit faster. I have a meeting soon," Section Chief Zhao said, glancing at his watch. His mahjong buddies were all there, just waiting for him.

Section Chief Zhao's attitude made Ye Lin very unhappy. If he didn't need information from Section Chief Zhao, he would have already gone up and hit him a few times.

"Section Chief Zhao, I want to ask, in what month do our university graduates usually leave the campus?"

"Huh?" Section Chief Zhao didn't react immediately. Wasn't he asking about disappearances? He had planned to just say 'no' and leave.

"Oh, graduation, right? It's usually in July, pretty much the same nationwide," Section Chief Zhao answered perfunctorily.

"Then when are the graduation certificates issued?" Ye Lin pressed.

"This..." Section Chief Zhao thought for a moment. "It's usually issued before graduation, I can't say the exact date, it's not fixed."

"No, what exactly do you want to ask? Can you be more direct?" Section Chief Zhao was getting a bit impatient.

"Alright, Section Chief Zhao, then I'll ask directly. After graduates receive their certificates, do they usually stay on campus for a while? Does the university still manage them during this period?" Ye Lin asked earnestly.

"How can we manage that? It's only for a few days. After graduation, everyone buys tickets and heads off to their futures. There's nothing to manage. The dorm manager will patrol the buildings and lock the doors after everyone has left."

"Does this have anything to do with the white bones this time?" Section Chief Zhao asked, puzzled.

"Yes!" Ye Lin said with certainty. If Section Chief Zhao wasn't given a definitive answer, he wouldn't take it seriously at all.

"We suspect these two sets of white bones belong to graduates. We want to know if any parents have called or come to the university looking for their children?" Ye Lin stared intently at Section Chief Zhao.

Section Chief Zhao only paused for a moment before impatiently saying, "No, didn't I say no? There haven't been any disappearances in recent years."

As he spoke, he kept checking his phone; they were rushing him again.

"Section Chief Zhao, this clue is related to the identities of two deceased individuals. Please think carefully," Ye Lin said sternly.

Section Chief Zhao, already impatient, immediately flared up upon hearing this. "Officer, cooperating with investigations is our duty, but I've already told you everything I know. I also have my own work; you can't delay other people's normal work, can you?"

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Team Leader Guan quickly stepped forward as a peacemaker. "Section Chief Zhao, we don't mean that. This case is being heavily pushed by the higher-ups, and it has a very bad social impact. I hope everyone can put in some effort so we can solve the case as soon as possible, right?"

"Hmph," Section Chief Zhao snorted, saying sarcastically, "I'm not refusing to cooperate. If the case can't be solved, that's your police business, it has nothing to do with me. Don't try to pin it on me."

"Team Leader Guan, it's not that I'm not cooperating, it's just that there really isn't anything. I have a meeting, so I have to leave first. Remember to close the door when you leave, gentlemen."

With that, Section Chief Zhao picked up his phone and ran off. Anyway, there were three police officers inside, so he wasn't worried about losing anything.

"Coming, coming, I'll be there right away. Can't you just play a couple of rounds of poker first?"

Outside the door, Section Chief Zhao's voice could be heard on the phone.

Xiao Xu said indignantly, "Team Leader Guan, he's not going to a meeting, he's going to play mahjong, isn't he?"

Team Leader Guan sighed and said helplessly, "We don't have the authority to force people to cooperate; we can only find clues ourselves."

"A section chief of the security department is so arrogant? Don't the leaders of his university manage him?" Ye Lin asked.

Team Leader Guan shook his head and said, "Section Chief Zhao is a distant relative of Principal Liu. No one in the university dares to offend him, which is why he's so overbearing."

Ye Lin snorted, "Then let's find Principal Liu."

"Principal Liu is a collateral branch of the Fang Family, and he's also indifferent to us, unless the Director steps in," Guan Hongyuan explained.

"The Fang Family? Is it Young Master Fang's Fang Family?" Ye Lin asked.

"Besides their Fang Family, who else in the provincial capital would dare to call themselves the Fang Family?" Guan Hongyuan said self-deprecatingly.

As soon as he heard it was Young Master Fang, Ye Lin didn't hesitate to pull out his phone and dial.

Soon, the call connected, and Young Master Fang's hearty laughter came from the other end of the line: "Young Master Ye, what brings you to call me? Is the case solved?"

"Not solved. I heard that the Principal of this Industrial University is a member of your Fang Family?" Ye Lin asked directly.

"What? Young Master Ye sounds very resentful. Did this Liu Baoguo give you a hard time?" Young Master Fang teased over the phone.

"We need the Section Chief of the security department to cooperate, but he's not very cooperative," Ye Lin said calmly.

"Alright, I understand. In five minutes, I'll have him roll in front of you," Young Master Fang sneered.

After hanging up, Ye Lin calmly told Team Leader Guan to sit back down and leisurely drank tea.

"Did you just call Young Master Fang?" Team Leader Guan asked uncertainly, "You mean Young Master Fang from Jinhai Club that day?"

"Ah, didn't you say Principal Liu is from the Fang Family? Then let's just find the Fang Family," Ye Lin said easily.

Team Leader Guan was speechless. The way he said it, it was as if he didn't know, but the problem was, how easy was it to find the Fang Family? And would Young Master Fang listen to you so easily?

Not to mention Team Leader Guan, even their Director had to be respectful to Young Master Fang.

Section Chief Zhao had just reached his car, pressed the key, and with two beeps, the car door opened. Section Chief Zhao got in, ready to go to battle.

Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket. Section Chief Zhao picked up the phone with an annoyed expression, but his face immediately changed. He quickly put on a fawning expression, answered the call, and said obsequiously, "Principal Liu, you called me?"

"I called you? I called your mother!" Principal Liu's loud voice came from the phone.

Section Chief Zhao's face fell, and he thought to himself: How unlucky, the leader is in a bad mood today, I need to be careful.

"Hehe, Principal Liu, who upset you? You tell me, I'll go take care of him," Section Chief Zhao quickly pledged his loyalty.

"Who upset me? Hmph!" Principal Liu said angrily, "Upsetting me is nothing. Do you know who you upset?"

"Me?" Section Chief Zhao looked bewildered. The white bone case had just happened recently, and he had been very low-key. "I haven't done anything, Principal Liu."

"Haven't done anything, good. Let me ask you, did police officers come to see you just now?" Principal Liu asked, fuming.

"Ah, yes, Team Leader Guan from the police station also came. They've been here several times. I've always told them the truth."

"No, Principal Liu, listen to my explanation. These police officers are just idlers. They're incompetent themselves and then say we're not cooperating."

"Principal Liu, don't mind them. I've already sent them away. Did they complain to you? I knew they wouldn't be so easy to deal with."

Section Chief Zhao rattled on, making it impossible for Principal Liu to get a word in.
