Coroner Coroner

He is a famous detective with an amazing memory.

But the human brain is not a mobile hard disk with unlimited storage space.

In order to ensure that you will not be overwhelmed by useless spam information, the human brain will automatically classify information that is judged as unimportant into short-term memory.

These short-term memories don't last long before they are wiped clean.

Just like it is impossible for people to remember the first sentence they said to others 33 days ago.

It is also difficult for Conan to recall when Lin Xinyi mentioned "Huihara Ai" to him, and what information was specifically mentioned in the conversation.

At this moment, the only thing he can vaguely remember is;

"Lin Xinyi did mention 'Hui Yuan Ai' to me."

"Also, that time should be before you, Huiyuan, become smaller."

Conan gave an ambiguous answer.

But such an inaccurate answer makes his words look like unfounded fantasy:

"In short... Lin Xinyi said that this 'Hui Yuan Ai' is his friend."

"This is impossible."

Hui Yuanai's voice was not as calm as it was at the beginning:

"Before I became younger, Lin Xinyi had just lost his memory not long ago."

"He forgot all about the past."

"After that, he has been working in the laboratory and the Metropolitan Police Department, with me and the two of you."

"If he knew a friend named 'Hui Yuan Ai', how could we know nothing about her?"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan and Conan couldn't help but fell into deep thought:

Indeed, Lin Xinyi and the others did not understand the old Lin Xinyi.

But from the day of "suicide" and "amnesia", Lin Xinyi has been with the two of them basically every day.

I didn't find out that he made any new friends either.

And, even if he does meet some new friends...

Then why use this friend's name to name your girlfriend?

"Could it be that..."

Mao Lilan tried to make a guess:

"This 'Hui Yuan Ai' is someone Mr. Lin knew before he lost his memory."

"This person should have some extremely important meaning to him."

"So even if Mr. Lin loses other memories, he still has an impression of her."

"It is for this reason that he..."

"He gave you the name 'Hui Yuan Ai'."

As he spoke, Mao Lilan's voice couldn't help but become much softer.

Because she already saw that something was wrong.

And I can also feel Hui Yuanai's mood at the moment:

She even has someone else's name now.

Then what is she?

Is it a substitute for the "Hui Yuan Ai"?

Or, from the very beginning, the reason why Lin Xinyi fell in love with her was because he regarded her as a substitute for a certain woman? ?

The kitchen is filled with the sweet aroma of chocolate.

But Hui Yuan Ai's heart already had a bit of bitterness:

"Haibara Ai…"

She said the name silently.

Hui Yuan Ai realized that compared with Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, and Belmode...

This Huiyuan Ai may be her real enemy.

Chapter 460 [Extra] Valentine's Day (3)

As a fashionable woman, Haibara Ai is very clear:

Every girl who carries a high imitation Prada bag will always want authentic products in her heart.

No matter how good the substitute is, it cannot replace the original product in their hearts.

And now, she is that fake bag.

This thought was like a thorn, deeply piercing into Hui Yuan Ai's heart.

She thought about it...

He fumbled and took out the phone from his pocket.

Hui Yuanai was going to call Lin Xinyi directly to find out.

If Lin Xinyi has completely let go of the past, he will definitely not hide his past and the existence of "Hui Yuan Ai" in front of her current girlfriend.

"Forest…"

The call is connected.

Hui Yuanai pondered for a moment, then cut to the chase and asked:

"Do you know a woman who looks like me?"

"Huh?" Lin Xinyi's puzzled hum came from the other end of the phone:

"Of course I know—"

"Miss Sonoko!"

"I'm not talking about her."

"Who is that?"

"Haibara Ai."

"Who?"

"Haibara Ai."

"..."

Lin Xinyi on the other end of the phone was silent for a while:

"Huihara Ai... Isn't that you?"

"I'm not talking about me."

"I said 'Aihara Ai'."

Huiyuan Ai pointedly put emphasis on the three words "Huiyuan Ai":

"You should know who I am talking about, Hui Yuan Ai."

"???"

Lin Xinyi on the other end of the phone was completely dumbfounded.

After a while of silence here, Hui Yuanai's tone became even colder:

"Lin, don't you want to say something?"

Lin Xinyi: "..."

Hui Yuan Ai called and asked him if he knew Hui Yuan Ai...

What does this make him say?

Lin Xinyi was confused.

My mind was also a little dizzy.

But he could still vaguely sense that his little girlfriend seemed very unhappy.

"Xiao Ai, where are you now?"

"I'm driving back from the Metropolitan Police Department now, and it's inconvenient to make a phone call on the road."

"What's the matter, wait until we explain it face to face."

"Okay." Hui Yuanai responded softly: "I'm at Maoli's house now, come and pick me up."

Saying that, she hung up the phone, put down the phone, and turned to look at Conan:

"Lin Gang's tone doesn't sound like he's pretending to be stupid."

"He really doesn't seem to know the existence of 'Hui Yuan Ai'."

"The great detective..."

"Are you sure you remember correctly?"

There was some dissatisfaction in Hui Yuanai's cold voice.

If this was just an oolong caused by Conan's memory disorder, then this Valentine's Day would have been inexplicably ruined by him.

Blind her artisan-infused Valentine's Day chocolates.

"I...I must remember correctly!" Conan thought about it carefully: "Although I can't remember the details, Lin Xinyi did mention to me at some point that he had a friend named Hui Yuanai .”

Conan's tone gradually became firm.

"Okay..." Hui Yuanai tentatively believed his words.
