Chapter 150 [Chapter 149] 40 years

"It's been 40 years, there's no need to be so serious, Xiao Ai."

Dr. A Li stammered and laughed dryly.

"Doctor, don't you want to see that Ms. Kinoshita again?"

Xiao Ai stared closely at Dr. Ali's eyes: "Once some people miss it, they will never see each other again. No matter how much you regret later, no matter how much you miss her, she will never appear in front of your eyes..."

As she said that, Xiao Ai's eye circles were a little red: "So doctor, please tell me loudly that you really want to give up and never see the girl from back then when there is a glimmer of hope to see you again?"

Dr. Ali's expression became solemn, and amidst Xiao Ai's almost roaring questioning voice, he slowly stood up, and then took a deep breath: "No, I don't want to give up, I still want to see her again, even if it's just from a distance. take a look."

"Who are you looking at?"

Conan staggered out of the basement. Seeing his blank eyes, it was obvious that he was still in a daze.

"You came at the right time, and now I announce that the 'Dr. A Li's first love search campaign' has officially begun."

Xiao Ai waved her hand vigorously.

"what?"

Conan froze.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Ai, what are you talking about about first love..."

Dr. A Li blushed, and his head almost got under the sofa.

10 minute later.

"Unexpectedly, the doctor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you also have such a flirtatious past."

Conan held the postcard and winked at Dr. Ali.

If it was Xiao Ai, Dr. Ali might still be a little shy, but facing an old acquaintance like Conan, he can let himself go.

"Don't look at me now. When I was in school, I was also a handsome guy, but he was sought after by many girls."

Dr. A Li stroked his beard and said quite proudly.

"Come on, doctor, do you think I haven't seen pictures of you when you were young? You looked like this when you were in school, and you just had more hair..."

"Do you think the doctor is ugly?"

Before Conan could finish speaking, Xiao Ai suddenly interrupted and asked coldly.

Conan froze for a moment, then stammered, "No, I mean..."

"Then do you think you're handsome?"

Xiao Ai didn't give Conan a chance to defend himself, and continued to ask.

Conan was sweating profusely, he could tell that Xiao Ai in front of him was a little different.It used to be a frozen iceberg, but today it is a frozen volcano that may erupt at any time.

"Xiao Ai, don't be so excited, Conan just likes to joke with me, an old man."

Dr. Ali quickly smoothed things over.

Xiao Ai also realized that she had lost her composure, pursed her lips, put her arms around her shoulders, and sat back on the sofa without making a sound.

"Anyway, doctor, you should have gone to her as agreed, right?"

Conan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly changed the subject.

"of course."

Dr. A Li fell into the memory: "At first I thought that the meeting place refers to the place where I met her for the first time, so in the first ten years, I rushed there. But I waited there for a day, but also I didn’t see her. Later I thought it was because I had taken her to a friend’s house who was in contact with small animals, so in the second ten years, I went to my friend’s house one day earlier to stay overnight, but she also didn’t show up.”

Listening to Dr. A Li's memories, Xiao Ai's complexion gradually became better. She put down her hands and listened quietly.

"When I waited for the third decade, I wondered if it was the zoo we often went to, but I also didn't see her. Maybe it's because the zoo is too big, and maybe she and I happened to be staggered."

Dr. A Li spread his hands and sighed.

"And what about the fourth decade?"

Xiao Ai asked.

"November 11 this year marks the fourth decade."

Dr. A Li scratched his head and said with a smile: "But I have given up, after all, I don't think she should be foolish to wait for 40 years, right?"

"If you give up, you won't put this postcard in the notepad solemnly."

Conan mercilessly exposed his lies: "After all, you are looking for the notepad in such a panic, not just to find the phone number of the demolition company, right?"

"Ha ha……"

Dr. Ali just smiled awkwardly.

"But for so many years, she hasn't written to you again, or haven't you found the other party in other ways?"

Conan squeezed his chin and said.

"I can't help it. Not long after she moved, I also moved back to the countryside, and my home address was changed. And I only know her name is Kinoshita, but I don't know her full name."

Dr. Ali smiled dryly: "Also, I thought we would meet again in the first ten years, so I didn't rush to find her."

"This is the punishment for your lazy character."

Xiao Ai let out a snort.

"Then what about checking the school's files?"

Conan continued: "Both of you, Doctor, went to Didan Primary School. As long as you look up the old files from that year, you should be able to know Ms. Kinoshita's full name. Then you can find her address and contact information through the name... "

"Even if you know, so what, call her and ask her, where is the 'place full of memories' in the letter you wrote back then?"

Xiao Ai said coldly: "Don't you think this is a kind of injury? After all, the other party has waited hard for 40 years, but the doctor didn't even know where to meet, and has been waiting in vain."

"Don't say any more, I was wrong."

Dr. A Li drooped his head, unable to lift his head due to Xiao Ai's training.

"Then there is only one way left, and that is to solve this riddle."

Conan spread the postcard on the table, and pointed: "Look here is a line of strange numbers, and there is a hint of 'animal' below. This should be the secret code that Ms. Kinoshita left for the doctor."

"4163 33 60."

Xiao Ai read it again softly: "Doctor, do you know what it means?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't have to wait 40 years."

Dr. Ari still lowered his head.

"how about you?"

Xiao Ai looked at Conan, Conan frowned, shook his head and said, "No, I don't understand at all."

He looked at Dr. Ali: "Doctor, do you remember the location of the animals?"

Dr. A Li shook her head: "She only attended Didan Primary School for three months. Apart from going to and from school together, we only went to the zoo a few times and never went to other places."

"This is troublesome."

Conan frowned: "There are too few clues, so it's hard to decipher."

"I think it's better to inform Uncle Maori..."

"No!!!" X2
Facing Xiao Ai's proposal, the doctor and Conan expressed their opposition at the same time.

"How dare you bother the detective with such a trivial matter."

Dr. A Li waved his hands again and again.

"Why do you need to bother Uncle Maori with such a trivial matter?"

Conan waved his hands again and again.

"Do you think it's a small thing to make a lady wait for you for 40 years? Do you think it's a small thing that you both waste 40 years? Or are you willing to waste a fourth decade?"

Xiao Ai VS Dr. A Li, Xiao Ai wins, A Li dies!
"And you..."

Seeing Xiao Ai turned to look at him, Conan instantly felt a chill run from his heels to the back of his head, and even his hair stood on end: "No need to say anything, I'm just going to call Uncle Mao Li."
