Chapter 822 A letter full of memories (4000)

After the party, Mr. and Mrs. Kudo said goodbye to everyone and headed for the airport.
  The two booked flights for the afternoon and prepared to return to Los Angeles.

After all, the two of them have been living here for a week, and after seeing this, there is really no need to stay any longer.

Moreover, Kudo Yusaku’s new work has also been completed, and he plans to concentrate on creation this time when he returns.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether it will eventually turn into procrastination, leading to frantic reminders from editors.

As for Ayako, due to the recent contraction of the company's business, she also needed to personally check the situation, so she did not stay with Karasawa, but took Xiaolan and the slightly drunk Mouri Kogoro along the way.

"You kid, you didn't drink today." Before getting in the car, Mouri Kogoro pulled Tang Ze and said a little unhappy: "You must make up for it next time!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will accompany Maoli Town next time to watch you drink to your heart's content." Tang Ze agreed with a smile.

"Okay dad, Tangze Criminal Police said that he was driving, so of course he can't drink."

Xiaolan shook her father, but Mouri Kogoro kept holding on to Karasawa, making Xiaolan very embarrassed.

Seeing that Mouri Kogoro would continue to pester, Xiaolan was immediately annoyed. When she was angry, she knocked Moori Kogoro unconscious with a knife and stuffed him directly into Ayako's rear driver's seat.

"Is this okay?" Dr. Agasa glanced at Mouri Kogoro, who was unconscious, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I didn't practice karate in vain. When I get back, dad won't be able to remember anything. He was already so drunk."

Xiaolan complained about her father, then bowed slightly to Tangze and got into the car and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

Coupled with Mouri Kogoro who fainted next to him, this originally normal scene was a bit scary.

The little ones were in a panic, forced a smile and waved goodbye to Xiaolan.

"It's really scary when Sister Hu Xiaolan gets angry."

When Ayako's car was far away, Genta beside him breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's too oppressive." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement with lingering fear.

"I think Sister Xiaolan is very cool!" Ayumi on the side said with stars in her eyes, "It's just like in the movie, knocking people out with a single knife!"

"I hope someone will not encounter such a situation often in the future..." Haiyuan glanced at Conan and said with a faint smile: "Otherwise, the days to come will be difficult~"

'I want you to take care of...'

Conan's face darkened when he heard Haiyuan's words. He immediately glanced at Haiyuan and rolled his eyes angrily.

"Future? Someone?" Ayumi was beside Haiyuan. After hearing her words, she couldn't help but curious: "Haiyuan, who are you talking about? Is it the brother Shinichi that Sister Xiaolan often talks about?"

"That's right." Haiyuan glanced at Conan teasingly and nodded.

"No way, Sister Xiaolan is so kind. As long as that brother named Shinichi doesn't make Sister Xiaolan angry, it doesn't matter." Ayumi defended Xiaolan.

"If Sister Xiaolan takes action, it must be that brother's fault." Mitsuhiko also echoed: "Just like Uncle Maori this time, the fault must be his."

"That's right, that's right. Sister Xiaolan is so kind that she won't beat up anyone casually." Yuantai nodded in agreement.

After hearing the words of the little ones, Conan couldn't help but darken his face, but he couldn't say anything.

After all, from the perspective of the little ones, they only know Xiaolan. As for Xinyi, he is just a big brother that Xiaolan has never met but has a good relationship with.

As the "mother's family", they naturally sided with Xiaolan.

But only he himself knows how heartbroken Conan is.

It's not that the little ones are all on Xiaolan's side, but everyone seems to feel that even if they are beaten by Xiaolan, the other party is right.

This makes people feel very complicated...

"Okay, okay, let's stop chatting here. We still have to help Dr. Ali clean up the study and find letters."

Because he was still thinking about the possible case and seeing that the few people were chatting, Tang Ze immediately suggested that everyone look for the letter.

"Eh? Aren't you going to take a break again?"

Mitsuhiko looked at Dr. Ari and complained: "Doctor, it's not a good habit to leave things behind and not tidy up the room!"

"That's right, a primary school student like me has to tidy up the room by myself at home!" Yuantai echoed from the side, making Dr. Ali laugh.

"Okay, you guys, please stop complaining." Haiyuan said calmly: "Don't forget the letter. The reason for missing is that you came here to play video games after school yesterday, and you are also responsible for making this place even more messy. .”

After being reminded by Haiyuan, several of the little ones on the side looked embarrassed, started to laugh, and even accelerated their pace into the house.

"But there's a lot here."

Looking at the messy room, Ayumi worriedly said: "It's okay to organize things, but don't we have to reply to the letters today? We need to do it as soon as possible."

"this one"

Conan touched his chin when he heard this and said: "Every time the doctor reads letters or postcards, he will habitually put them on the TV.

So if no one picks it up, there's a high chance it'll be left behind the TV.

But there should be a mountain of them behind the TV. "

Hearing Conan's teasing, Dr. Ali smiled, while Mitsuhiko and Genta quickly ran over to check.

"Ah, there are indeed a lot of things piled here." Mitsuhiko said and took out a handful of letters: "Look, there are so many!"

"Really or not." Yuantai was a little dumbfounded when he heard this: "Doesn't that mean we have to find a lot."

"I've been complained about. Let's get started." Haiyuan smiled.

The group of people started to sort things out very quickly. In a short time, they finished packing up the items piled on the ground, and then Conan began to look at the letters they found one by one.

"New Year's greeting cards, daily greetings for winter and summer...even the renewal notice for the expiration of the driver's license..."

As Conan spoke, he handed it to Dr. Ali. After taking it, the other person looked at it and said in surprise: "These are all letters I thought I had lost!"

"Hahaha..." Conan looked at Dr. Ali and smiled helplessly.

"Ah, such cute words." Haiyuan looked at the letter in Conan's hand and said with a smile.

"It's a child's calligraphy." Conan looked at the calligraphy on the envelope in his hand and smiled, then handed it to Dr. Ali who was standing aside.

"Ah, I found it, it's this one." Conan, who then searched for letters, soon came up with a letter and confirmed that it was their target this time.

"Ah, it's true!" Ayumi looked at the contents on the envelope and said happily: "Doctor, I found it!"

However, the expected response from the doctor did not appear. When everyone looked up, they found that Dr. A Li was looking blankly at the letter that Conan had handed over before, with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"What's wrong? Did you find something good?" Yuantai on the side couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Dr. A Li's expression.

"Ah, it must be the letter written by the child." Ayumi said with a smile.

"Could it be that this is the love letter Dr. Ali received when he was young?" Mitsuhiko said with a look of inquiry on his face.

"Ah, no, this is a letter sent to me by a friend a long time ago." Dr. Ali blushed when Mitsuhiko said it, and then quickly waved his hand and explained: "This was almost forty years ago, right? .”

"Forty years ago?" Conan was surprised after hearing what Dr. Ali said: "Doesn't that mean it happened when the doctor was in the sixth grade of elementary school?"

When he heard this, Tangze already knew what this "case" was.

No, maybe this is not a case, but an "emotional reasoning".

This is Dr. A Li's only emotional line, and it is natural that Karasawa would not be unimpressed.

Sure enough, with Dr. A Li's narration, the slightly fuzzy memory in my impression became clear.

That happened when the sixth grade of Dr. A Li's elementary school just started.

That day, because he was about to be late, he took a road he didn't usually take to prepare for a shortcut.

As a result, on that road, he saw a girl who was in a junior grade than him. She was hiding behind a telephone pole with a frightened face, staring ahead and not daring to move. She burst into anxious tears.

The girl wore her hat low, but what couldn't be hidden was her pair of big black glasses, which looked very cute.

At that time, she seemed to be too scared to go over because the dog in the Noi family yard on the roadside kept barking at her.

In the end, it was Dr. Ali who took her, letting the girl hide behind him and lead her through that stretch of road.

After passing by, Dr. Ali asked the girl why she was so afraid of the dog. Although the dog was indeed vicious, it was tied up and it should not be too frightened to walk.

Then the girl told him that it was because she was bitten by a dog when she was young, so she has had a psychological shadow on dogs since then.

Not only that, she didn't even like small animals too much from then on.

After hearing the girl's words, Dr. A Li thought that this was too pitiful. At that time, he happened to know a friend from Diye who had a golden rat in his home, so Dr. A Li took the girl to his home as a guest. .

Although she was really scared at first, she soon got used to it.

After two months, she completely lost her fear and fell in love with small animals again.

Even the big dog that scared her so much that she didn't dare to pass by was able to walk past alone with a strong smile.

"So, the doctor and the girl have been going to school together every day since that day?"

A woman deserves to be a woman, even a primary school student like Ayumi, her focus is completely different from that of a man. Dr. Ali's face turned red when he said it directly.

When Guangyuan and Gentai on the side saw Dr. A Li's panic expression, they couldn't help but squint their eyes and make strange noises.

"Well...it's just the period until autumn." Dr. Ali panicked for a moment, and then quickly explained.

"Huh? Only during the autumn period?" Ayumi was a little confused when she heard this: "Why?"

Several other children were also puzzled by this. After all, this situation should have more "green memories" happening, but now it has stopped abruptly, which confused several people.

The answer is simple, the other party left.

On a rainy morning at the end of November, Dr. Ari was waiting for him to go to school at the intersection of Noi's house as usual.

But no matter how he waited, no one was seen.

At that time, he thought the other party was sick, so he went to her house after school.

There, he met the girl's neighbor, only to learn that the girl had moved away that morning.

"Hey...she moved away..." Ayumi said in disbelief.

"How could this happen?" Mitsuhiko asked in confusion: "Didn't you even tell the doctor?"

"At least say 'goodbye'." Yuantai said a little unhappy.

"No, no, she still sent me a letter to thank me."

Dr. A Li pointed to the letter that Conan took over and said with a smile: "I found that postcard at home that night."

"But there is no stamp on this letter." Mitsuhiko looked at the envelope and said puzzledly.

"It should have been thrown directly into Dr. Ali's mailbox before moving away." Karasawa explained with a smile.

"Then, what did she say in the letter?" Genta looked at Conan and asked.

Conan read the letter after hearing this, and then read out the contents of the letter after seeking Dr. Ali's permission.

"Thank you very much for the past three months. I am really happy to get to know A Li.

I don't like saying goodbye, so just look forward to seeing you again.

Ten years later today, before the sun goes down, see you in that place full of memories.

If you don't see it, just wait until the next decade.

Even if I become an old woman, I will wait for you.

So if you are free then, please come and meet me.

To my favorite A Li.

November 11th, Class 24A, Kinoshita..."

"I can't figure out the rest of the names." Conan frowned.

"It must have gotten wet when I put it in the mailbox." Tang Ze speculated on the side.

"Then what happens next?" Haiyuan looked at Dr. A Li and said, "Did you see her in the end?

That Miss Kinoshita. "

"No..." Dr. Ali smiled guiltily after hearing Haiyuan's words: "Because I really can't remember where that "place full of memories" is..."

"Hey, doctor, today seems to be November 11th." Tang Ze looked at the calendar on his phone and reminded him.

"Yes, then maybe that girl is still waiting for you, Dr. Ali!" The three little ones said in unison with excitement after hearing this.

"However, the doctor has no impression of the most important appointment place at all."

Haiyuan said and glanced at Dr. A Li angrily: "It's really unreliable, and let a girl wait for so long."

"I'm so sorry..." Dr. Ali, who knew he was in the wrong, could only smile awkwardly.

"Then let's help the doctor find the location."

Tang Ze heard this and suggested with a smile: "Although I don't know whether the other party has kept his promise, at least I can't let Dr. Ali slip up again."

Hearing this, the three little eyes instantly became energetic.
