Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 267 The Land of Memories
Hearing this, several children looked at Dr. Agasa with aunty smiles. Ayumi even asked directly: "Doctor, you and that girl will go to school together every day from now on?"

"Well, actually it's only during the autumn period." Faced with the children's pressing steps, Dr. Ali explained a little shyly.

"Only during autumn?" After hearing the other party's somewhat unexpected answer, the three little ones asked in unison.

"Yes, it was a rainy morning at the end of November. I waited for her in front of the dog owner's house as usual, but in the end she didn't show up." Dr. A Li paused for a moment. , shook his head slightly and continued, "I went to her house after school, but I learned from the neighbors that their house had moved away that morning..."

"Why is this like this? We obviously have such a good relationship and yet we say goodbye without saying goodbye. Isn't this too much?" After hearing this, the three little ones felt sorry but also complained for Dr. A Li.

"No, I think she must want to say it but can't..." Xiao Ai, who had been listening silently, suddenly interrupted the three little ones' discussion and explained with empathy, "Because goodbye is really important. These are sad words that will hurt each other’s hearts.”

Realizing her sister's mood at the moment, Xiaosaki nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too, and the postcard in Dr. Ali's hand does not have stamps or postmarks. It should have been the girl who put it in the mailbox herself."

"I see, then what is written on this postcard?" After listening to the explanations of the two sisters, the third child roughly understood the girl's mood at that time, and continued to ask curiously.

At this time, Conan just happened to take the postcard from Dr. A Li. Seeing that the other party had no intention of hiding it, he directly read out the content on it.

"Thank you very much for the past three months. I'm really happy to get to know Ari-kun. Because I don't like to say goodbye, so I'll see you later. Today, ten years later, before the sun goes down, I'll meet you in that place full of memories. . If you can’t meet, then wait for another ten years. Even if you become an old woman, I will wait for you. If you have time, come and meet me!”

"The signature is: To my most favorite Agasa-kun, November 11th, 24th year Class A, Kinoshita... I can't see clearly because the name behind it is blurred."

"Maybe it got wet from the rain when I put it in the mailbox." Dr. A Li explained after hearing this.

"Then, did you see Miss Kinoshita later?" Xiao Ai asked directly about the result that everyone was most concerned about.

Dr. A Li smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and looked at the ceiling unconsciously and continued to explain: "Well...because I really can't think of where the place full of memories is, so..."

"Doctor, you have forgotten such an important thing. Isn't it a bit too much?" Ayumi couldn't help but frowned and complained after hearing Dr. Agasa's reason for not being able to meet him.

Dr. Ali felt ashamed when he heard this, but Xiaosaki on the side spoke up to help: "I think Dr. Ali must feel that every place they have visited together is full of memories, so he can't find the only one." The location?"

"It's almost what Xiaosaki said." Seeing Xiaosaki helping him to save his respect, Dr. Ali explained by borrowing the donkey. "In the first ten years, I went to the dog owner's house and waited all day. Ten years ago, I went to stay at a friend's house who raised hamsters one day early. Unfortunately, I didn't wait until she showed up." "Didn't Miss Kinoshita write to you again after that?" After listening to Dr. Agasa's story, Feeling a little regretful, Ayumi still asked reluctantly, "Doctor, have you never written a letter to the other party?"

"Although she knew the address of my hometown, I moved later. Besides, I don't know where she moved to. I can't even remember her name..." Dr. A Li couldn't help but feel guilty after saying this. Lowered the volume.

"Eh? Have you forgotten the other person's name?!" At this moment, the three little animals were all shocked by Dr. A Li's outrageous remarks, "Obviously she cares about you so much, but Dr. A Li, you actually forgot her name. It’s unbelievable!”

Faced with the verbal criticism from the three little ones, Dr. Ali bowed his head sincerely and admitted his mistake: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

"By the way, today happens to be November 11th, and it also happens to be the fourth decade. Maybe Ms. Kinoshita is still waiting for the doctor at the agreed place!" At this time, Guangyan's eyes lit up and he suddenly reminded, "Since... Dr. Kasa is also a graduate of Teitan Elementary School, so if you go to the school and ask, you should be able to find out Miss Kinoshita’s full name and address!”

"The school is on holiday today, and the teacher who manages the old files is not at school." Xiao Ai looked at the excited three little ones and poured cold water on them. "Even if we really find the other party's name and address and contact her, she will only know about A Li." The doctor has actually forgotten the fact that she has waited in vain for 40 years for the Land of Memories. Wouldn't this hurt her even more?"

"Of course, all this is based on the fact that today, 40 years have passed, and Ms. Kinoshita is still waiting for Dr. Agasa."

Just when everyone was deep in thought after listening to what Xiao Ai said, Naia, who had become Dr. A Li's little fan after visiting Dr. A Li's laboratory, suddenly broke the silence by saying, "Then let us help each other. Dr. Agasa, please think of that place full of memories! I believe Miss Kinoshita must still be there!"

"Naia is right. No matter what, we should help Dr. Agasa remember the agreed place and go to see Miss Kinoshita in person." After hearing what his brother said, Kosaki also agreed, "In case The other party is still waiting there, and we can’t let Dr. Ali miss the appointment this time!”

"That's right, that's how it should be done. Dr. Ali, please think about it again!" The three little ones said with encouragement after hearing this.

Seeing that the children were so concerned about his affairs, Dr. Ali was grateful, but he still responded helplessly: "Thank you everyone for your kindness, but this was 40 years ago. It's really hard for me to think about it all at once. is a bit……"

"It's not that there are no clues at all." Conan, who had been holding the postcard, suddenly pointed to a line of text on the back of the card and explained, "'4163 33 6 0' is a string of numbers marked with 'animals' as the prompt, which is very interesting. Maybe it’s a code pointing to that location.”

Looking at the series of mysterious numbers in front of him, Ishino, who had been listening carefully without saying a word, instantly remembered the answer to the puzzle. He couldn't help but complain in his heart about this speechless rice cake tradition. He was really the Riddler per capita.

In terms of the difficulty of this question, even Conan had to forcibly cheat to get the answer. From this point of view, Dr. Agasa cannot be completely blamed, and Ms. Fusae's 40-year wait is not unjust.
