Chapter 387: Chapter 269: Ochasaki Middle School (Another update coming later)_2

Nakano Youko beside him smiled and began, "Back then, the expansion was all on the high school side; naturally, the middle school looked like there hadn’t been much change. We should start by introducing it to Beichuan... our friend here. The whole Ochasaki High School is divided into two parts."

She gestured with her hands as she spoke, "Beichuan, you can look to your left where most of the high school division is; to the right is the middle school division."

Ochasaki Middle School is divided into a high school section and a middle school section, each with its own campus. However, compared with the richer facilities of the high school campus, the middle school side just has a few isolated buildings.

"The school’s playground is shared by both the high school and the middle school divisions. The expansion I mentioned was about adding a few new sports warehouses next to the playground... that happened four years ago... Of course, those spaces might not necessarily be used as warehouses in the future; they could be renovated into badminton courts or swimming pools. They’ll probably be shared with the middle school division as well."

"Is that so?" Beichuan Si nodded and looked towards Ochasaki Middle School.

The campus was laid out very neatly and still had some space left for expansion. Apart from the somewhat plain middle school area, all other conditions at the middle school were acceptable.

"We should go and handle the procedures for visiting first, Mr. Temple," Shen Gu Mirai turned to look back at Beichuan Si.

For outsiders like them, registration was required to enter the campus during holidays, as was obtaining a visitor’s badge.

"No need," Beichuan Si shook his head and took out his mobile phone to make another call:

"I’m sorry, this is Beichuan from yesterday."

"Mm, mm... okay, I appreciate the trouble you went to for yesterday’s request."

After hanging up the phone, Beichuan Si looked at the campus, "Just wait a moment."

He patiently waited here; Shen Gu Mirai and Nakano Youko glanced at each other and paused their intention to enter the school.

To their surprise, Beichuan Si even knew people at this school, something Shen Gu Mirai and Nakano Youko hadn’t anticipated.

After a short while, a middle-aged man hurried out from the school area. Upon seeing Beichuan Si, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly: "You must be Mr. Beichuan introduced by Miss Gangye, right?"

"Yes," Beichuan Si nodded. "I’ll leave it to you for now, Principal Tomatsu."

"Haha... Since Miss Gangye has introduced you, these little things are nothing at all," Mr. Tomatsu laughed heartily. "Please come in. Mr. Beichuan, I have prepared everything you asked for."

It had to be said, society indeed valued personal connections. Thanks to Gangye Yoshiko’s relationship, even the principal of a school came out to greet them...

Beichuan Si had originally thought at most a security staff would come to meet them, but now it seemed he had underestimated Gangye Yoshiko.

"Let’s go." After thanking Mr. Tomatsu, Beichuan Si turned to Nakano Youko, who was completely stunned, "What’s wrong? Hurry up and follow."

"Ah... okay... yes!" Nakano Youko finally snapped out of her daze, nodded vigorously, and followed closely behind Beichuan Si and Principal Tomatsu.

Watching them talk, she couldn’t help but whisper to Shen Gu Mirai beside her, "Beichuan knows Principal Tomatsu?"

Nakano Youko’s tone was filled with incredulity.

She intended to pursue the special admission route for sports, which meant she often had to interact with Principal Tomatsu. Therefore, she knew him much better than the average student.

If she could have Principal Tomatsu come out to meet her personally, would she still have to worry about the special admission spots for athletes?

Yet Beichuan Si had just done it...

What sort of move was this?

"Hehe," Shen Gu Mirai chuckled softly. "That’s actually quite normal. After all, we’re talking about Mr. Temple; of course, he can achieve such a thing."

Her voice sounded assured and natural, convincing others to believe it.

In fact, Shen Gu Mirai had also done her analysis.

Beichuan Si had abilities beyond the ordinary, naturally attracting the attention of some and there were certain matters that could only be resolved by Beichuan Si.

The two chatted as they walked and soon followed Beichuan Si and Principal Tomatsu to the principal’s office.

Principal Tomatsu had his male secretary provide Beichuan Si with some documents, and he also said enthusiastically, "Here are the school’s planning diagrams and a detailed legend for the newly constructed buildings you wanted to see."

Listed neatly on each of the forms were various types of building material usage data.

Beichuan Si thanked him and his gaze quickly swept across the papers.

School expansion plans... Various construction material usage data...

The warehouse that had been built on a vacant lot starting four years ago—

Beichuan Si’s gaze paused briefly, then continued downward.

After reviewing all the data, he finally spoke, "I have a few questions to ask."

"Please go ahead," Principal Tomatsu sat across from Beichuan Si, looking very amiable.

"The forms state that the construction of the physical education warehouse was four years ago, right?"

"Correct... However, it was not actually constructed at that time. Back then... it was simply a drafted plan, with no groundwork having been started. Moreover, the location was changed thereafter," Principal Tomatsu shook his head: "The initial draft was at the junior high section, but after construction began, it became clear that the ground was composed of collapsible loess, making it impossible to pour concrete... We switched to another location, which is the current sports warehouse on the athletic field. I remember there are still some open land storage sheds left over at the junior high section where various construction materials were stored."

"Storage sheds left over?"

"Yes... They’re just some exposed grounds. I’ve heard lately that some delinquent students like to gather and hang out there; many warnings have been ignored."

Beichuan Si quickly skimmed through the information, then asked, "Did anything strange occur at Ochasaki Middle School during the construction of these buildings?"

"Strange occurrences? Hm... If I must mention something odd, when we were storing the cement, someone did an inventory and discovered that the quantity of cement in the warehouse had decreased."

"Decreased?"

"At the time, it was two bags short," a male secretary added from the side.

It seemed the other party had also done their homework in this aspect and did not intend to brush off Beichuan Si.

This made Beichuan Si somewhat impressed.

It’s amazing how social connections come so handily at critical times.

But the thought that it was Gangye Yoshiko’s favor rubbed Beichuan Si the wrong way. He massaged his temples.

Forget it, he probably wouldn’t need to return the favor. The few cases that Gangye Yoshiko had handled through him were close to elevating her to Police Chief, so asking for her help in this matter should pose no great issue.

"Would you like me to show you the currently constructed physical education warehouse, Mr. Beichuan?" Principal Tomatsu asked.

"No need. Thank you for your help, Principal Tomatsu, I’d like to take a wander on my own, it won’t trouble you," Beichuan Si thanked him.

"Haha... It’s no trouble," Principal Tomatsu laughed: "Then let me see Mr. Beichuan out."

He was someone who lived cunningly, and he understood that in order to connect with Gangye Yoshiko, he must interact with Beichuan Si, hence he tirelessly showed his goodwill.

The two went back and forth for some time, not parting until they were under the administration building.

"...Is this the adult world?" Nakano Youko was dumbfounded.

Would Principal Tomatsu show that kind of expression to anyone else?

In her view, this was nearly impossible.

In the past several months, she took the route of a physical education special admission student and spent a lot of time on the procedures, and in the end, she only met with Principal Tomatsu once or twice. Dragging her feet, she finally managed to complete the paperwork.

Then she looked at Beichuan Si.

A phone call and the other party came down to greet him, and on leaving, he even walked him out a ways.

It really is true that one shouldn’t compare oneself with others too much.

"Don’t overthink it. It’s not my own capability," Beichuan Si clearly noticed Nakano Youko’s thoughts and after briefly explaining, he looked towards the athletic field.

"Let’s check out the sports warehouses on the field first."

Combining what the principal had said earlier, Beichuan Si now had a theory in mind.

The current task was a process of gradually verifying it.
