Chapter 1541: The Truth That Gradually Approaches
Regarding Aomori Kindergarten, the mischievous ghost also provided the address, and when Li Xuehao, Nishimura Maname, and Satomi Acheng found it, it was not Aomori Kindergarten, but a Yokohama City Aomori Elementary School.
It seems that more than 20 years is enough time to turn a kindergarten into a primary school.
However, today is a Saturday and Sunday, and students are not in class, and teachers are not there, so even if there are school staff at the school, you may not know Masako Nakajima, who taught here more than 20 years ago when she was still a kindergarten in elementary school.
But the trio decided to try their luck, because there was no way out.
Walking into the school, an old man came from inside, the old man was about sixty or seventy years old, one meter and six meters tall, not very short, wearing an ordinary home clothes, looking like a school teacher.
"May I ask who you are?" the old man stood in confusion as he saw three strange young men and women walk in, he had never seen these three men before.
"Hello, we're here to find someone. Nishimura's real name stepped forward and took the initiative to express his intentions.
"Looking for someone?" the old man looked stunned, "Who are you looking for?" "It's a primary school, and it's a weekend, and no one is in the school.
"I'm a police officer. Nishimura's real name hesitated for a moment and took out his ID, which should go a lot smoother.
The old man was startled when he saw it, thinking that something had happened in his school, and his face suddenly changed: "Mr. Officer, is there something going on?"
"No, it's not like that, we're just looking for someone. Nishimura didn't expect the old man's reaction to be so big, and quickly explained.
The old man was a little relieved, but his expression was much more solemn than before, after all, the police were involved: "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"It's Maeko Nakajima...... It may also be called Miss Masako Yamazaki. Nishimura said both names.
Nakajima...... Yamazaki?" The old man had a blank look on his face, obviously struggling to think about the man with two names, but maybe time had passed too long for him to remember.
"When she took office, it was still a kindergarten. Nishimura's real name added.
"Kindergarten? That was a long time ago. The old man flashed a look of reminiscence, "Speaking of which, I was the principal of Aomori Kindergarten at the time. ”
"That's great, do you have any impression of Masako Nakajima or Miss Maeko Yamazaki?" said Nishimura Maya's face was happy, but he didn't expect that the person he met casually was the principal of the kindergarten at that time.
"I don't have any impression anymore, my memory has long since deteriorated as I get older, but I have a photo album of the kindergarten teacher who taught at the time in my home, and you may find it there. The old man said.
"That's great! Thank you, Mr. Principal. "Although I had a hunch that I could get some clues here, I didn't expect it to be so easy, and Nishimura was overjoyed.
"Now I'm no longer the principal, I watched this little school built. The old man was both emotional and pleased, "Please come with me." ”
The three of them followed him out of the school, and the old man's home was nearby, very tight, and he walked dozens of meters to arrive. It is a typical tatami house that looks a little old.
During this period, the old man introduced himself, his name is Osamu Okura, and he is now retired, but he likes to go back to the school where he used to be the head of the kindergarten from time to time.
"Does Mr. Okura live alone?" followed the old man into his house, and found that he was the only one in the house, and the furnishings were very simple, but they were very neat and clean.
"My son's family is in Tokyo, and they come back to visit me occasionally. The old man Okura said a little lonely, "You wait a minute, I'll go find the album." ”
"Thank you. "Nishimura's real name thanks again.
It didn't take long for the old man to come out with a large old-fashioned photo album with the words "Aomori Kindergarten" on the cover of the album.
"Here are pictures of all the teachers who were teaching at that time, please feel free to look at them, I'll make tea. After the old man Okura put down the photo album, he went to the kitchen to make tea.
Nishimura's real name was not polite, and he opened the album directly and flipped through the pages one by one.
Although I haven't seen Maeko Nakajima before, there is a name under each photo, so you can just look at the name below without looking at the person in the photo.
When turning to a certain page in the middle, Nishimura Mana suddenly stopped, and even his breathing was a little short: "This is it." She pointed to the name underneath one of the photos, which read "Masako Yamazaki."
It's her!
The three of them looked at the photo, the woman in the photo was about thirty years old, with very dignified facial features, and it seemed that she was indeed the kind of woman who was very gentle and virtuous.
"Did you find it?" said the old man Okura came over with a tray containing three cups of steaming hot tea and a plate of snacks.
"Yes, Mr. Okura, thank you so much, we found the person we were looking for. Nishimura's real name was a little excited, "Excuse me, do you have any specific information or contact information about this teacher Masako Yamazaki?" she said, pointing to a photo of Masako Yamazaki.
"Yamazaki ......" Old man Okura lowered his head and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "Is that her?" I remember...... At that time, there was a teacher who resigned because of an accident at home, and it was this Yamazaki teacher. ”
"Yes, Mr. Okura, do you have her contact information?" asked Nishimura again.
The old man Okura smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, it's been more than 20 years, even if I left her contact information before, I don't know where I lost it for a long time, and the contact information from more than 20 years ago may not be usable now." ”
The old man made a lot of sense, Nishimura's real name frowned, and now the problem is back to before, but getting a photo can be regarded as a gain. In fact, she has another way, which is to use her convenience as a police officer to find out from the files of the Yokohama Police Department, but this is suspected of fake public and private interests, and she will not do that unless she has to.
"Miss Nishimura, let's go back to the place we used to be. Li Xuehao, who was on the side, suddenly said that with the photo of Maeko Nakajima and knowing her appearance, it would be relatively easy for him to find someone, at least he would not be helpless.
"Back to the place before?" Nishimura was stunned, not understanding his intentions.
"Well, maybe you can find this Yamazaki Maeko Lady. Li Xuehao pointed to the person in the photo, and said to the old man Okura on the side, "Mr. Okura, can I borrow your photo?"
"Absolutely, I hope it helps. "Okura was obviously a warm-hearted man, and he didn't ask why they were looking for a kindergarten teacher from more than 20 years ago, but he was very open-minded.
"Okay, let's go now. Nishimura didn't want to delay for a moment, she was anxious to find that Miss Yamazaki Maeko, and it was best to ask what had happened in the first place, and why she hadn't gone to see Mr. Yuji Yasumoto as agreed.
