Chapter 150 [Chapter 149] 40 years

"It's been 40 years since this happened. There's no need to take it so seriously, Xiao Ai."

Dr. A Li stammered and laughed dryly.

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

Xiao Ai stared into Dr. A Li's eyes: "Once you miss some people, you will never see them again. No matter how much you regret or how much you miss her, she will never appear in front of you..."

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

Dr. A Li's expression became solemn. Amidst Xiao Ai's almost roaring questions, he stood up slowly and 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. Looking at his dull eyes, you could tell that he was still in a daze.

"You came just in time. Now I announce that the 'Dr. Ali's first love search battle' has officially begun."

Xiao Ai waved her hand vigorously.

"ha?"

Conan was stunned.

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

Dr. A Li's face turned red, and his head almost went under the sofa.

ten minutes later.

"I didn't expect that you, a doctor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a coquettish past."

Conan held the postcard and winked at Dr. Ali.

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

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

Dr. A Li stroked his beard and said with some pride.

"Come on, doctor, do you think I haven't seen a photo of you when you were young? You looked like this when you were in school, with more hair..."

"Do you think the Doctor is ugly?"

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

Conan was stunned for a moment and stammered: "No, I mean..."

"Then do you think you are handsome?"

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

Conan was sweating profusely, and he could tell that the Xiao Ai in front of him was a little different. It used to be an iceberg as cold as ice, 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. A Li quickly smoothed things over.

Xiao Ai also realized that she was a little lost. She pursed her lips, hugged her shoulders, and sat back on the sofa without saying a word.

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

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

"certainly."

Dr. Ali fell into memories: "I first thought that the meeting place refers to the place where she and I first met, so in the first ten years, I rushed there. But I waited there for a day, and nothing happened.

I didn’t see her. Later, I thought it was because I had taken her to a friend’s house where she was exposed to small animals, so in the second ten years, I went to stay at my friend’s house a day in advance, but she didn’t show up either.”

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

"In the third decade, I guessed that it was the zoo we often went to, but I didn't see her either. Maybe it was because the zoo was so big that she and I happened to be in the wrong place."

Dr. A Li spread his hands and sighed.

"What about the fourth decade?"

Xiao Ai asked.

"November 24th this year will be 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 will wait foolishly for 40 years, right?"

"If you gave up, you wouldn't put this postcard solemnly in your notepad."

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

"hehe……"

Dr. A Li just smiled awkwardly.

"But after all these years, has she never written to you again, or have you never found her through other means?"

Conan pinched 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 changed completely. And I only know her name is Kinoshita, but I don't know her full name."

Dr. A Li smiled dryly: "Also, I thought we would meet again in the first ten years, so I was not in a hurry to find her."

"This is the punishment for your lazy character."

Xiao Ai snorted.

"What about checking the school files?"

Conan continued: "Doctor, you both went to Tedan Elementary School. As long as you check the old files from that year, you should be able to know Ms. Kinoshita's full name. Then you can find out her address and contact information through her name...

"

"So what if she knows, call her and ask her where the 'place full of memories' in the letter you wrote back then is?"

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

"Stop saying it, it was my fault."

Dr. A Li drooped his head, unable to lift his head after being scolded by Little Ai.

"Then the only way left is to solve this riddle."

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

"4163 33 60."

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

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

Dr. A Li still lowered his head.

"how about you?"

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

He looked at Dr. A Li: "Doctor, regarding the location of the animals, do you remember going to other places?"

Dr. A Li shook his head: "Back then, she only attended Didan Elementary 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 to decipher."

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

"No!!!" X2

Faced with Xiao Ai's proposal, the doctor and Conan expressed their opposition at the same time.

"Why do you have the nerve to bother the big detective with such a trivial matter?"

Dr. A Li waved his hands repeatedly.

"Why bother Uncle Maori with such a trivial matter?"

Conan also waved his hands repeatedly.

"Do you think it's a small thing to ask a woman to wait for you for 40 years? Do you think the 40 years you two wasted is a small thing? Or are you willing to waste another fourth decade?"

Xiao Ai VS Dr. A Li, Xiao Ai wins, A Li dies!

"And you..."

Seeing Xiao Ai turn to look at him, Conan instantly felt a chill running from his heels to the back of his head, and even his hair stood on end: "There's no need to say anything, I'll call Uncle Maoli right now."
