Chapter 217: Threading the needle to source Huaiyu
"These numbers represent animal sounds."
"And connect the animals represented by these numbers..."
Following Conan's guidance, the three little ones finally found the final answer.
“Under the ginkgo tree in the elementary school!”
"Yes, she should be in that place now, as long as she is still the same as she was forty years ago..."
After learning about the agreed-upon location, the group immediately got into the doctor's Beetle and rushed to Didan Elementary School.
After half a day of searching, it is now almost dusk and the sun is about to set.
They were walking in the ginkgo forest, but they didn't see anyone else for a while.
"Hey, Conan... there's no one there at all..." Genta immediately expressed his doubts.
Conan looked left and right: "Strange... it should be here..."
Based on his many years of extensive experience with passwords, such a logical and consistent password should be the answer they want.
"It's normal that she didn't come...it was a 40-year promise." The doctor comforted Conan with a wry smile.
"Huh? That car parked there..."
Ayumi suddenly noticed a familiar white car parked in the woods.
"We stopped there when we came to see the rabbit this morning..." Haihara Ai confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her memory.
"You must have been waiting there early in the morning!" Mitsuhiko said excitedly.
Yuantai took the lead and rushed to the white car: "Let's go take a look quickly!"
But when he and others came outside the white car, they found that there was no one in the car.
"There's no one inside... Could it be that they went to eat?"
"No, it shouldn't be... That cup of coffee is still steaming. You must have eaten just now, and you've eaten a lot. It looks like there are three servings..."
Within a minute, Conan judged that the owner of the white car was probably still nearby based on the lunch box that was thrown away before he could pack it up in the car.
"If she is fat, doctor, don't be disillusioned..."
Hearing this, Haiyuan Ai looked up at Dr. A Li.
However, Dr. Ali seemed not to have heard what she said. His face was slightly flushed with excitement, and he looked towards the ginkgo forest ahead.
Soon, the children all noticed something strange about Dr. Ali. Following his gaze, they saw a blond woman leaning against the ginkgo tree, with a calm and beautiful side face.
"She is a super beauty..."
Even Conan couldn't help but admire it.
Mitsuhiko and Genta's faces were even more dull.
"Could it be her..."
"Really, what a pity..."
Several people looked at Dr. A Li who had been dumbfounded and motionless. Suddenly, the aunt smiled and pushed Dr. A Li towards the woman.
"Doctor, don't be in a daze! You've been waiting for forty years!"
"Hurry up and get over there!"
As they took a few steps closer, everyone was even more surprised to see an unexpected person in front of the tree opposite her who had just been blocked...
"Teacher Yuan?!"
When Kinoshita Fusae heard the voice coming from behind, she stopped her conversation with Yuan Huaiyu in surprise, turned her head and looked back...
The next second, she saw the extremely important person in her life.
Dr. Ali and the young detective team also discovered that in addition to this lady and Yuan Huaiyu, there was another person present, a middle-aged gentleman who looked somewhat like Ms. Kinoshita's husband.
"Billy, please wait for me in the car..."
Fusae and Billy chatted a few words in English, and the man wearing a sexy shirt under his suit returned to the white car obediently.
Fusha Hui looked at Yuan Huaiyu with some embarrassment: "Sorry..."
Before she could say the next words, the three little ones jumped up to Yuan Huaiyu: "Teacher Yuan, why are you here?"
Sensing Fu Shahui's surprised look, Yuan Huaiyu smiled and said to her: "Didn't I tell you before? I am a teacher in this primary school, and these children are all students in our class."
He looked at Dr. A Li again:
"I never expected that Ms. Fushae would be the doctor's first love forty years ago..."
His words immediately aroused the reaction of the two people, who combined were over a hundred years old.
"Wait, Mr. Yuan..."
"First love..."
The two of them looked at Yuan Huaiyu with their mouths wide open, then looked at each other in unison, and then looked away with some embarrassment.
"Your grandchildren are so cute..."
In the awkward silence that made people feel that seconds seemed like years, Fushae spoke.
Originally, she thought Dr. A Li had forgotten her, because she had not been able to wait for Dr. A Li's arrival every time in the past forty years, and today was just a coincidence.
But this teacher Yuan seemed to be very familiar with Dr. A Li, and he pointed out to the point that Dr. A Li was specially found today.
But when she looked at the children surrounding Dr. Ali, she subconsciously thought they were Dr. Ali’s grandsons——
After all, she didn't think that Dr. Ali would be like her, single and without a family at such an old age.
"I have to correct you on this. Dr. A Li is still unmarried... Although these children are very familiar with Dr. A Li, Dr. A Li doesn't even have children yet..."
Yuan Huaiyu said immediately.
"This..." Fushae looked straight at Dr. Agasa.
Yuan Huaiyu saw that the atmosphere was already filled with a strange ambiguity, so he immediately walked away a few steps, leaving space for these two middle-aged people who had been apart for forty years.
When passing by Dr. A Li, he whispered in Dr. A Li's ear and said: "Doctor, the man just now is not Ms. Fusae's husband, he is just the husband of her friend who she dragged over to accompany her."
"Don't have any psychological baggage and rush boldly!"
Casting an encouraging look at Dr. A Li, Yuan Huaiyu walked towards the young detective team standing aside.
The young detective team who had been listening carefully saw Yuan Huaiyu approaching and gave him a thumbs up.

In the situation just now, it was a bit like both of them thought that the other party was already married, and at the same time they didn't seem to want to ask in detail, which led to some misunderstandings between the two of them.
As a result, Yuan Huaiyu eliminated the misunderstanding between the two in a few words, and they could quite intuitively see that the atmosphere between the two was developing by leaps and bounds.
In the cool weather of late autumn, the temperature between the two seemed as hot as midsummer.
Conan looked at Kinoshita Fusae's face, and his mind went back to when he was in the first grade of elementary school ten years ago.
Ten years ago today, when he was in the first grade of elementary school, Xiaolan was waiting for him to come home from school in this ginkgo forest.
She met Ms. Fushae, who was ten years younger than she is now. Because she saw Xiaolan hiding from the rain without an umbrella and seemed to be waiting for someone, she took the initiative to give her umbrella to Xiaolan.
The two also made an agreement that when Xiaolan grows up, she will buy a piece of jewelry or a leather bag designed by Fushahui in exchange for today's umbrella.
"The symbol is the ginkgo leaf... It turns out it's her. Xiaolan, she and Sonoko seem to be going to buy new products from Fusae today..."
He had met this aunt at that time, but he didn't expect that she and the doctor had such a deep bond.
…
On the other side, under the ginkgo tree, Dr. Ali and Fusha looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Both of them are in their fifties, but now they look like high school lovers who have just started to test each other...
"This patch of ginkgo trees is so beautiful, and it has left me with everlasting memories."
Fushae knew that the bald man in front of her was actually a rather dull person, so she had no choice but to take the initiative to start the conversation.
Forty years ago, when the two of them passed by this ginkgo forest on their way home from school, her hat accidentally blew away in the wind.
Since her hair color was often discussed by other local classmates, she always felt inferior to her blond hair when she was a child. She always wore a hat and kept it low.
At that time, she had developed feelings called "like" for the gentle and considerate A Li, so when her hair was seen by A Li, she hugged her head and was about to cry.
She was worried that A Li would point fingers at her hair color like her classmates, but she didn't expect that when A Li finally picked up her hat and handed it to her, she said:
"I like it very much...it's like the leaves of ginkgo, very beautiful!"
Every time she recalled this sentence, she would feel a warm current in her heart, flowing throughout her body.
Dr. A Li looked up with her at the beautiful scenery of the ginkgo forest and murmured: "I still like ginkgo very much!"
In an instant, the last barrier between the two seemed to disappear without a trace.
Once the two people started talking after being apart for forty years, they really had endless topics to talk about.
They chatted from when they first met to when they went to the friend's house who kept a golden rat, from some interesting little things they got along with at that time to their respective experiences over the years...
It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west and it was almost completely dark that the two of them realized that a long time had passed.
"Huh? Where are they?"
Dr. Ali turned around with a dry mouth and looked around in a panic, but did not see Yuan Huaiyu and the children.
"Ask Billy..." Fushae pulled Dr. Ali's sleeve and walked to the white car.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Billy, and my wife is a loyal fan of Fushahui. We and I have known Fushahui for many years. Every ten years, she asks me to drive her to
Here you are waiting for someone... It seems that you have finally found that person, congratulations."
Billy first explained to Dr. Ali, and then looked at his old friend with relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Billy. My name is A Li."
The two men stretched out their hands and shook them, and Fushae asked from the side:
"Billy, did you see those kids and where Mr. Yuan went?"
"Oh, they..." Billy said with a smile, "They said today is a day worth celebrating, so they went to order from a very good izakaya first, and asked me to tell you that after we finish talking, we will go to that restaurant together.
Let’s have something to eat together at the izakaya.”
"Fortunately, you didn't chat for too long, otherwise I might have kept them waiting..." Billy looked at the two of them teasingly.
Fortunately, it was completely dark now, covering up the blush on their faces.
The two got into Billy's car and sat in the back seat together tacitly, and Billy drove them to the izakaya together.
Because they had just spoken too many words, both of them felt their throats hurt, and there was a silence in the car that was more silent than loud at this time.
"Ah! Doctors and the others are here!"
Naturally, the three little ones couldn't sit still at all. After sitting in the izakaya for a while, they ran to the door and stared at the doctor.
Seeing the white car stopped at the entrance of the izakaya, the doctor and Ms. Kinoshita got out of the car together and walked towards them. The three little animals immediately surrounded it excitedly.
"This way, this way!"
The group of people walked into the izakaya under the guidance of the three little ones, waving to Yuan Huaiyu and Conan Haiyuan who were talking about something from a distance.
"It's so happy to see that the doctor can finally get married..."
Dr. A Li is also an important friend to Yuan Huaiyu. At this time, seeing that Dr. A Li is expected to end his single status, Yuan Huaiyu is also sincerely happy for him.
After several people sat down at the big table, Yuan Huaiyu immediately began to serve as a link and introduce Fushahui.
"These children are not just simple children. They call themselves the 'Young Detective Team' and have solved many cases!"
Fushahui's eyes widened: "Are these children so powerful?"
"Of course, the doctor often takes them out camping, and they often encounter cases and the like during camping. Come on, this is Ayumi, this is Mitsuhiko, this is Genta..."
Yuan Huaiyu pointed to Conan next to him: "This little guy who looks cute is called Edogawa Conan. He has a very good brain."
"She is Haiyuan Ai, a distant relative of Dr. A Li, who lives in the doctor's house." Yuan Huaiyu looked at Xiao Ai again, "By the way, Dr. A Li completely regards Xiao Ai as himself.
My granddaughter!"
"Hello..." Fushahui greeted the children cordially.
Conan rolled his eyes when he heard Yuan Huaiyu's introduction to him.
Yuan Huaiyu quickly noticed his expression, and while Fusha Hui was being asked various questions by the three little ones, he asked in a low voice:
"You just said your mother wanted to meet me?"
"Yeah." Conan nodded, "She and her father came to Japan together for the launch of 'Cocoon'. She heard about you and said that the last time I saw you was a year ago, so she wanted to invite you.
Hang out with those guys."
The guys he was talking about were naturally the Young Detective Team.
"Oh? No problem."
Yuan Huaiyu smiled slightly.
In fact, he and Kudo Yukiko didn't just have a one-time relationship a year ago.
Earlier, when he was still Miyano Jun, he had already spent quite some time with Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yukiko, who was still a young girl at the time.
