This real estate company is located on the avenue facing Saikawa.The glass windows are also plastered with house introduction advertisements like everywhere else. The middle-aged boss wearing glasses listened to Zhimei's story about how she had never met her friends and had no way of knowing other contact methods, so she sympathetically pulled out the information of the Yamashita couple for Zhimei.According to the rules, it is natural not to disclose the owner's information to outsiders at will, but the boss seems to be doing nothing, unexpectedly kind. He quickly helped Tomomi find out the unit of Masaki Yamashita and the address of Noriko's father as the guarantor for the purchase.According to the boss, both Changzhang's parents have passed away.Zhimei thought to herself, a marriage without serving her in-laws is really not bad.

To be cautious, Tomomi asked her boss if she had met the Yamashita couple. "I've only met Mr. Yamashita, not my wife. Why are you asking this?" "nothing." Zhimei said, copying the two contact addresses in a notepad. "You want to contact the Yamashita couple?" After Zhimei finished transcribing, the boss asked. "yes." "Then can you help me by the way and ask them if they want to reassign a spare key to the door someday?" "The key, right? I remember it." The boss was very helpful.Zhimei agreed loudly and walked out of the shop.

After finding the public phone, Zhimei immediately called Changzhang's company.Fortunately this time, it was Changzhang himself who answered the phone, and he seemed to be no stranger to Zhimei, who reported himself as his family. Hearing that Tomomi came to Kanazawa specially, Changzhang yelled "ah". "I wanted to meet Dianzi, but you and your wife were not at home, so I asked the real estate owner for your company's phone number." "Is that so... Actually, Dianzi just happened to go out for a trip today, and said he would come back after playing with friends for three days and two nights. What a pity, if I knew you were coming back, I would have found a way to get you two to meet."

"But I called several times yesterday, but no one answered." "Ah...that's right. Maybe she went back to her mother's house. It just happened that she didn't meet her." Lying, Tomomi thought, and the acting was terrible. "I want to contact Dianzi." "Well, I don't know where she will live tonight." "Then please tell me the name and address of the friend who is traveling with her." "I don't know about that either. That... I'm working, so let's stop here. As soon as Dianzi comes back, I'll just ask her to contact you."

Knowing that if she continued to ask, she would only hear more lies, Zhimei had no choice but to simply say: "Okay, please say hello to Dianzi for me." Then she hung up the phone. "Really, why is this kind of person!" Tomomi muttered dissatisfiedly in the phone booth for a while, and then called Dianzi's natal family.It was Dianzi's mother who answered the phone, and she was quite familiar with Tomomi.Zhimei first said a polite word of congratulations on the new year. "Thank you very much. It's really rude of them not even having a wedding." "No, please don't take it to heart. I want to ask you another thing: Is Dianzi with you? I just arrived in Kanazawa, and I wanted to visit her, but she's not at home."

Dianzi's mother seemed very confused and was silent for a while.Zhimei suddenly felt an ominous premonition welling up in her heart. "That...the child probably went on a trip. She told me so." "Travel...where did you go?" "I didn't ask too much about this. I'm really sorry for making you come all the way for nothing." "Don't say that, I just happened to have business, so I stopped by to have a look." Walking out of the phone booth, Zhimei crossed her arms and looked down at the surging water of Saichuan. ——Dianzi, where have you been?No matter where you go, don't deliberately give me riddles!

That photo is a mystery. It doesn't help to stand still, Tomomi is walking while thinking about the next itinerary.This area is called Teramachi, and as the name suggests, it is a place with many temples.She has always been uninterested in visiting temples, so she walked into the souvenir store, quickly glanced at the densely packed Kutani tea bowls and vases, and found that the prices were not very cheap. The store also sells ninja-shaped dolls, ear picks, tickle rakes, and more.Zhimei was puzzled, and asked the proprietress why this place exclusively sells ninja-related products.The proprietress replied that it was because there was a famous temple commonly known as Ninja Temple ahead.

"It's easy to get lost in that temple, and you often get dizzy. It's interesting. You must go and play!" The proprietress enthusiastically recommended.Chimi couldn't get excited.Besides, it's embarrassing to play alone. After eating a light meal at a nearby snack bar, Tomomi returned to the station to pick up her luggage, and then checked into the hotel.It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and she had already been running around early in the morning, her legs were sore and her feet were already weak, and she fell on the single bed in the room. ——Go to Kenrokuen, Ishikawa Museum of Modern Literature, and the samurai house tomorrow, and buy some souvenirs to take back.

Originally, I came here because I was worried about Dianzi, but I didn't even see him.I always thought that something happened to Dianzi, and her family said that she just went on a trip. ——Did she really go on a trip?Could it be that no one lied, and that photo was just a mistake... No, things are definitely not that simple.Even if you are traveling abroad, there is no reason not to tell anyone where you are traveling.Moreover, the act of sending someone else's photo to a friend cannot be justified by common sense anyway.What is even more puzzling is that the man next door actually said that the woman in the photo is Dianzi.

"I really can't figure it out!" Tomomi scratched her head in distress. After nightfall, she called her home to check the phone message.She does this every day when she travels abroad. There are a few pieces of information about work, and there is also an advertisement message asking if you need to apply for a credit card. "I already have enough cards." Tomomi muttered, waiting for the next message—— "Hello, I'm Noriko! I'm in Tokyo, but it's a pity that you're not at home. I'll see you next time."
