Chapter 30 Section 5

Now that I have brought my laptop, I no longer use paper and pen, and directly open a new file on the computer and start to make a timetable. 2003 Before August: "Praying Mantis" contacts "EMA". December: "Mantis" begins to attack "EMA". 2004 Early April: "duplicate" shuts down. End of April: reopen the station. Mid-June: "Mantis" disappears from "duplicate". Early July: Kiriko Sakura told Chitoku Kanzaki that they wanted to break up. July 10: Moved household registration before this day. "After entering July": "duplicate" closed station.

July 31: Tongko leaves "Corn Gooth". August 3rd: Tongzi was found missing. August 11: Kiriko appears in "Gendarme" and "Charing Cross".At the same time and two received a postcard. August 12th: Qie Er came to the door. "Ok……" All the puzzles are solved. If Kiriko Sakura didn't encounter other troubles at the same time, then she should have disappeared to avoid the "Mantis".Of course, Tongzi should not be so stupid as to write her company or address on the Internet!It's just that the human mind is a terrible thing. Even if I don't feel that I have said anything private, the other party can slowly piece together the whole picture of the truth from a few words and phrases.For example, the lowercase a looks very similar to α. Of course, there are not a few people who directly regard a as α without asking for further understanding. If it's not β, try changing it to δ... By analogy, as long as you keep trying and making mistakes, you will be able to find the correct answer one day, which is the lowercase a. "Mantis" may be the company that deduced "EMA" from the data on the "duplicate" website or the place where she lives, or she may even come to her directly.In the end, "EMA" was forced to shut down the website, even quit his job, and fled from Tokyo to Babao...

It's really... It's really... Boring to the brim. was defeated.Ever since I took over the commission from Kazuji Sakura, I have been conducting searches with a formulaic mindset.With the spirit of letting nature take its course, "since the case is accepted, let's do it!" attitude.Anyway, they have been forced to the edge of the cliff, even if they want to escape, they don't know where to escape, and insisting on going against the sky is something only an idiot would do.So, although the purpose of opening this firm was to find lost puppies, I didn't expect to find someone for the first case, so I went on without much struggle.Even when my juniors in high school said they wanted to work with me, I didn't have any objections, as long as the conditions were agreed upon.The same is true for Kiriko Sakura. I also learned about it based on work needs. I have no special desire to know what happened to her.

but…… At that moment, I suddenly remembered the mood I thought had faded when I first returned to Babao half a year ago.In the picture of memory, the one who was crushed by the cruel reality, was it me?Or Tongzi?Whether it's a skin disease or an online stalker, it's all a cause for boredom that couldn't be more boring. ...In short, I already know why Kiriko disappeared.But, if my deduction is correct, what role does the man in the black beetle who warns Banping "stay out of it" play?Is he "Mantis"?If this is the case, then the problem is much simpler, what he said to Banping should be a kind advice, not a malicious warning...

I stared at the timetable, crossed my hands on the back of my head, and buried myself deep in the sofa. "Why is it so troublesome..." As if echoing my sigh, the phone rang suddenly.And not my mobile phone, but a company phone.There are only two or three kittens who know this number, but no matter which one it is, nothing good will happen!I stood up slowly, and picked up the microphone slowly. "Hello, this is 'Kanya S&R'." "Hello, is this Mr. Konya Choichiro?" It was a woman's voice, and it was still crying.I seem to have heard this voice somewhere, but I can't remember it all at once.

"Yes, I am Konya Choichiro." "I'm sorry to call you during the holidays. I'm Watanabe. I was a little nervous. Because I was still thinking that if Tongzi was really hiding in the Babao area, the first choice would of course be a hotel, but the second The second choice should be Watanabe's home. Then Watanabe called me suddenly, did he want to convey something to Tongzi? I quickly reached out and grabbed a ballpoint pen. "No, no, our company is open all year round. What can I do?" Could it be that she finally made up her mind and called me after finishing what she was going to say?Because although Watanabe's voice trembled, he no longer had the hesitation of yesterday.

"It's like this. When you asked me about Tongzi yesterday, I accidentally lied. It's not that I don't believe you, Mr. Konya, but the truth is really hard to tell..." This can be seen just by looking at your attitude!But I still say very politely: "It doesn't matter! Who told me that my job is not of the nature that can make people who meet for the first time let down their guard and speak freely." "I'm really sorry, but I actually know why Kiriko came back from Tokyo." "..." "She has a boyfriend in Tokyo. It was already about to talk about marriage, but they broke up suddenly last month... Tongzi must have come back because of this incident and felt sad. I'm sorry, because you said you were hurt It is entrusted by Tongzi's family, and I think that if this matter reaches the ears of Tongzi's parents, it may have a bad influence on her, so..."

Although this is explosive information, it is a pity that I was already bombed yesterday.Not only that, but I also saw the legendary boyfriend with my own eyes. Although it was a bit out of my expectation, I was careful not to let my voice leak that I already knew about it, and instead comforted her: "That's it! So that's what happened! Thank you for telling me. This way the job of finding someone can go more smoothly. Of course, I will never tell anyone that you told me about it, please Don't worry, then..." When I was about to take up the cable, Watanabe's voice came out sharply from the microphone: "Wait a minute, I, I..."

"Ok?" "I saw Tongzi!" oops!It turns out that what I just talked about for a long time was not the point! Because of this sentence, I had been lazily hanging on the desk just now, my eyes were as lifeless as dead fish, and I, who was just trying to put on an eager tone, finally became serious. "When? Where?" "Wednesday, that is, four days ago." In other words, it was the same day that Kiriko appeared in "Gendarme" and "Charing Cross". "Did you stop her?" "When I first saw her, I didn't even think she was Kiriko. Because she was wearing a pair of light-colored sunglasses, a shirt with a strange pattern, her hair was tied up in a mess, and she behaved like a girl. She looks a bit sneaky, no matter how you look at it, it is too different from the Tongzi I remember, so I thought I just happened to see someone who looks a bit like Tongzi..."

It never occurred to me to ask Kiriko what she was wearing on Wednesday.However, if Kiriko really dressed differently that day than before, you can check the words of the "Charing Corss" clerk. "However, her habit is exactly the same as Tongzi. When Tongzi smokes outside, she has a habit of throwing the cigarette butt by her feet, stamping it out with her foot, and then bending down to pick it up. That person I did the same, so I think that person may be Tongzi." "In that case, why didn't you call her?" "because……" Watanabe, who was about to cry when calling from the very beginning, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted loudly:

"Because I saw her at the hardware store, and that person only bought rope! As long as I think about it, if Tongzi can't bear the blow of broken love and wants to do something stupid, I feel so scared that I can't bring it up." Courage called her, even when you asked me about Tongzi, I didn't dare to say it, because it seemed that if I said it, things would become true... But, I called her later, but she didn't answer; I sent her a text message, but she didn't reply. Maybe...she has turned into a corpse, maybe lying somewhere..." "...You mean to say that you saw a person who had the same habits as Ms. Kiriko Sakura on Wednesday, wearing clothes that Ms. Kiriko would not normally wear, and her behavior seemed a bit sneaky, and then just Did you buy the rope?" "That's right!" "I understand... I will definitely find Ms. Sakura. By the way, I would like to ask you one last question. When did you see her?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little confused, and then answered very carefully: "...I think it was around five o'clock in the evening." Kiriko was lunch at the "Gendarme" cafe.That said, Watanabe saw her at least after she'd been to "Gendarme."I'm afraid it was after Kiriko bought a doll with a red turban in "Charing Cross"! "Thank you for telling me this, I will definitely make good use of this information. Goodbye." After hanging up the phone, I sighed deeply. I think Watanabe's worries are not unreasonable. Go to school smoothly and find your ideal job smoothly. Just when it was time to get married. The website was originally set up to adjust life, but it caused an unreasonable disaster. Even the place where he lived was exposed. Then don't know what happened. Forcing her to break up with her boyfriend and even quit her job. But why did she choose to return to her hometown?just like me... I was like this half a year ago, as long as there was a little more blow, I would hang myself with a rope.For me, Kiriko Sakura is no longer just an irrelevant name, but gradually has its own clear personality traits and image.Kiriko Sakura, whom I have never met before, already has a concrete image in my mind—although there are some utilitarian aspects, she is finally living hard on her own, and she did not succumb to evil forces in the end.It feels a little bit similar to me. Whether it is for Tongzi or for me, the only thing we can rely on is our own talents. If our talents are not enough, we can only rely on various certificates and experiences to make up for our own shortcomings. insufficient.In the same way, whether it is for Tongzi or for me, just because of an inexplicable and boring obstacle, the efforts of the whole life have been negated. The sense of loss that falls from the sky is very simple to drive people to a dead end. one thing. Just like Kiriko once said to Kanzaki when she left the company: "I want to come back to work again." The same is true for me. If I have the opportunity to return to the job of a banker, I also want to go back.I think Tongzi's words are actually a bit self-deprecating.I want to go back, but maybe I can't go back... I had to find Kiriko Sakura because that was my job. However, it is no longer just for this reason. My cell phone rings.This time it appears to be email. Open it and see that the sender is GEN.The content is only three short lines. No problem, you should be able to get past records. I'll send it to you when the other party is ready. So please check your inbox every now and then. I unplug the phone cord from the phone and connect it to the laptop.
