Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 599 Cat Hero
buzz-

The phone vibrated in his pocket, and Morimi just moved his eyes and continued to do the questions in front of him.

Ten minutes later, after completing all four questions, she checked them again and looked around the classroom. She saw that most of the students were still solving the problems with their eyebrows down and their heads down. She looked a little more confused. Smiling, and then took out his phone and took a look.

Chunhai: I found some clues and went back first.

"..."

clue?

Kazuyo: Where is Naoko?
Harumi: Yes.

Kazuye: Let me know when there are results.

Harumi: Okay.

Putting away her phone, she thought for a while before refocusing her mind on the topic in front of her.

On the bus back, Naruse couldn't calm down completely.

Takigawa Hikaru sat next to him and squeezed his hand, still remembering his excitement in the cafe just now.

["I remembered - some time ago, I saw Shangzi coming out of the post office. She must have sent the dolls from the transaction to the buyer!"]

Qingliu's local post office is right next to the convenience store. The place they pass every day is a single-family building with an orange sign that should be very eye-catching but is often ignored by them - most of the time it is not used.

"As long as we can get Naoko's shipping records, we can contact the buyer at the time and find out Naoko's store," Naruse said.

"However, although the shipping information will be recorded in the post office, it should be classified as confidential information, and outsiders cannot see it casually." Hikaru Takigawa asked.

He frowned and nodded, thought for a while and then said, "I'll go and cheat first."

"Eh?" Takigawa Hikaru and Haixing both looked over.

"The people at the post office should know me, right?" Naruse said, "Shangzi has sent me things many times before, and I told her that she sent them to the wrong address last time and wanted to contact the recipient to recover those things."

The two looked at each other, and Hikaru Takigawa added: "Brother Ishiwata is working in the post office now, he might be able to help."

"Brother Shidu? Which Shidu?"

"Don't you remember Harumi? But yes, he is much older than us." She looked at him, "The one who got earrings when we were in elementary school."

"..."

Naruse was startled for a moment, and the name Ishiwatari soon became clearer in his mind.

"I remembered... is he still in Qingliu?"

"He's still here. It's better to say he never left at all. But he probably doesn't remember Harumi. I'll ask him later."

"it is good."

The bus swayed and finally returned to Qingliu. The three of them got off the bus and went straight to the post office.

The independent Qingliu Post Office is as deserted as any rural post office. When you walk inside, there is only one person at the counter.

The young man inside raised his head and looked at the three high school students who suddenly barged in. His eyes focused on the face of Hikari Takigawa who was walking in front.

"Light?"

"Brother Ishiwatari." Hikari Takigawa walked over, "Are you the only one today?"

"Yes."

He looked bored, "There's nothing going on anyway. I'll be off work in another hour."

"Is Brother Shidu in charge of the post office affairs now?"

"Absolutely." Shidu finally came to his senses, "What's wrong? Do you want to send something?"

Takigawa Hikaru shook his head and pointed at Naruse, "Brother Ishiwata, do you still remember him?"

"The son of screenwriter Naruse and Matsu Chiaki, Harumi. I sit here and watch you running outside every day. It's hard for me to remember."

Ishiwatari looked at Naruse, "On the contrary, you don't remember me, right?"

"I remember." Naruse smiled, "I still remember hiding in the cement pipe with Hikari and seeing Ishiwata-san making out with his girlfriend."

"Haha, brat!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, things became much simpler. Naruse and Takigawa Hikaru directly explained their purpose of coming and expressed their desire to check Naoko's mailing records.

"In principle, this kind of record cannot be shown to outsiders casually..."

Shi Du glanced outside the door, "I can only help you once, and you must not tell others."

"I will never tell anyone else." The three of them promised.

He sat back in front of the computer, typed on the keyboard, and searched, and soon found Shangzi's mailing records.

"Well, Naoko has sent a lot of things to Chunhai in the past few years..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "Here's the latest shipping record."

"Let me see...well, it's a stuffed animal, sent to a man named 'Cat Hero' in Tokyo."

He turned on the camera and handed the phone in.

"..."

Ishiwa looked at him and muttered that if he was caught, he would definitely be finished. He took the phone and took a photo of the recipient's information on the screen.

"Thank you, Brother Shidu."

"Okay. The best way you can thank me is to pretend that what happened today never happened."

"I will never mention it to anyone." Naruse promised.

He took his phone back, walked out of the post office, looked at the message "Cat Hero" on the photo, and took a deep breath. "Do you want to call this person?" Hikaru Takigawa asked.

"Ah."

He entered the number, his hands tightened unconsciously, and then he still made the call.

After waiting for a while, the call was connected, and a timid female voice came from inside.

"Who……"

"Hello, I am……"

"I do not need it, thank you."

beep--

Naruse put down his phone and glanced at the screen.

"..."

Hang up?
"What's wrong?" Takigawa Hikaru and Haixing looked at him.

"It's okay... I seem to be treating me as a salesperson on the phone."

He called again, but this time the other party refused to answer.

"..."

Trouble.

He didn't expect that he would encounter problems in this step when he already had the buyer's information, and Naruse suddenly became a little confused.

"Let me try." Takigawa Hikaru asked for the number and made a call, but was hung up as soon as he opened his mouth.

"She seems to be the kind of timid girl... Now she's in trouble."

Standing on the snowy street, Naruse was silent for a while and then said, "I will go to Tokyo to talk to her in person."

"Eh?"

Both Hikaru Takigawa and Haixing were stunned for a moment, "Go directly to Tokyo."

"Ah."

He nodded, then walked back, saying as he walked: "The other party is such a shy character. Even if she is willing to answer the phone, it will probably be difficult for her to understand what I mean on the phone."

"But it's so difficult to connect to the phone. Is Chunhai sure that she is really willing to communicate with you in person?"

He was silent for a moment without looking back, "As long as we can find where she lives, it's not a big problem to get her to talk."

Takigawa Hikaru quickened his pace and grabbed his arm, "Haruhai is thinking of that shameful method again, no. I'll go to Tokyo with you."

Naruse looked at her and nodded quickly, "Okay, just come with me."

"I want to go too!" Haixing said immediately.

"We're not here to play."

"Maybe I can be of some help, too."

Naruse stopped and looked back at the two of them.

"Then you go back and pack your bags now. We will take the evening Shinkansen to Tokyo."

"Ah, are you leaving today?" Haixing was stunned.

"Why don't you wait until the weekend?" Takigawa Mitsuya said, "Harumi's attendance rate is already very dangerous."

"There are only eight days left." He looked at the two of them, "I can't wait any longer."

"Okay." Takigawa Hikaru nodded quickly, "Then we will meet at the bus stop later."

"I'll ask dad to take us directly to the station." Haixing said.

"That's fine too."

The three of them went back to pack their luggage. Naruse just came back from Takayama City the day before yesterday. After staying there for two days, his luggage was basically unopened and he packed it very quickly.

When he was about to go out, he thought of Morimi again.

buzz-

What's more news...

In the study school, Morimi took out his cell phone and took a look.

Harumi: I found the clue. I’m going to Tokyo. Let’s leave now.

"Eh--"

Everyone in the classroom looked over.

"Sorry." Her face calmed down and she lowered her head to apologize.

buzz-

Chunhai: Ask for leave for me tomorrow.

"..."

She squeezed the phone tightly.

This guy……
