It shows:
POWER LOCK WHITE (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, HARNESS FROM DOOR
POWER UNLOCK GREEN/RED (TYPE B) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL, HARNESS FROM DOOR
TRUNK RELEASE LIGHT GREEN/YELLOW (5-WIRE) @ HATCH RELEASE SWITCH

A few other source on the web shows the same wiring info. So I assume the above is correct.

But I cannot find the above wires. For lock/unlock, I can see the harness from door but I cannot find them. For trunk, it seems that I need to disassemble the trunk release switch but I cannot disassemble it.

Looks like he's trying to install a remote trunk release system.

I am installing a remote-starter; UltraStart G11t. I connected the other wires.
Power unlock info is not sufficient; there are 2 wires w/ the same color on the same harness. The wire on the same row as lock is not the unlock. Instead, the wire on the row 3 is the correct unlock. The problem is that the remote-starter unlocks all the doors at 1st push. OEM remote unlocks only driver door at 1st push and all doors at 2nd push.

I am still finding trunk release wire. I seems that I need to disassemble trunk release switch, but I cannot find a way.

The trunk release on these cars is cable-activated..manual.
Is that what you mean?

There is a trunk-release switch on left side of driver seat. There may be a wire on the switch. The info on the web says so; specifies the wire color.
But you are saying that it is not a electric wire, but mechanical tension cable.

Yep, I'm pretty sure the wire is to tell you (on the dash) that the trunk is open, and it's probably not on the handle, just on the trunk lid.

Then, is there any way to remote open the trunk? Some websites even says that it needs a extra relay to use it.

The only way I can think of is to install a custom release mechanism that can be activated electrically, as well as with a key. So same release mechanism as the doors.

Don't know if one of those "popper" styles when people shave doorlocks will work.
