"Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry, just find time to print out the certificate..."
Chi Feichi said this, then closed the book and stood up, "I'll send you there, don't forget to bring the gift Mr. Fukada gave you."
Hui Yuan Ai breathed a sigh of relief, covered the box, picked up the box and followed Chi Feichi out.
Just don't be in a hurry.
She still didn't know where to get those materials or when they would be ready. She couldn't rush even if she wanted to.
…
After sending Haibara Ai off, Chi Feichi did not stay at Dr. Ali's house with the excuse of "there is still something to do". After driving away from the neighborhood, he took out his cell phone, edited an email and sent it.
Haibara Ai explained the cause and effect to Dr. Ali, who was so anxious that Dr. Ali ran around in the living room. He also called Conan who went to Gunma County and held a remote three-person conference.
"Huh? Haiyuan wants to apply for a passport?" Conan heard the two people say this on the phone. After being surprised, he couldn't help but remind him, "She and I don't have household registration at all. Are you planning to forge birth certificates to apply for household registration?"
"
"Xiao Ai and I are thinking about this," Dr. Ali said. "If it's a birth certificate, we can sneak into the hospital..."
"Please think about it carefully," Conan said speechlessly, "even if you can get the birth certificate form from a certain hospital eight years ago, fill it out, stamp it with the hospital seal, and then send one of the copies to the hospital archives.
So, what should we do with the parents’ information on the birth certificate? If we need to go to the household registration office to issue a certificate, the household registration office will check the parents’ information on the birth certificate, right? If we just make up a name, wouldn’t it reveal the secret? Of course, you
You can also choose to fill in a small village far away from Tokyo, but in that case, you have to go to the local household registration office to issue a certificate. The staff at the local household registration office know very well whether such a little girl was born in that area. Do you want to get away with it?
It’s simply impossible.”
Dr. A Li's heart dropped, and he said helplessly, "Even if I adopted a little girl whose parents' information is unknown, that won't work..."
In Japan, it is easy for children to enroll in school. If you want to enroll in Tedan Elementary School, you only need to live nearby. However, it is not that easy to apply for a passport.
If you want a passport, you must have a Japanese household registration, and household registration requires a birth certificate, confirmation of parental identity information, confirmation of parents, confirmation of long-term residence, etc. For pure black households like Haihara Ai and Conan, it is too difficult to apply for a passport.
Difficult.
Similarly, a child who is said to be adopted also needs a certificate from the relevant welfare agency. If there is no relevant certificate, he has illegally adopted the child. Not only will he not be able to apply for the documents, he may also be held accountable.
Okay, even if he manages to get a certificate from the welfare agency, the question comes again: When was this little girl adopted? What? A year ago? Where did she live in the past? Is there a residence office opened?
Is there any certificate? No? The welfare agency should provide it to you at the time of adoption, right? What? She was adopted when she was one or two years old? Very good, then please go to the Yoneka Town Office to issue a certificate.
Prove that she has lived here for six or seven years. Once the certificate arrives, the household registration will be settled immediately. But you are really going too far. Why don't you update the household registration information immediately after the adoption?...
All in all, there are many problems.
"Even if it is a stateless child of unknown origin, a certificate of residence must be issued for at least five years." Conan paused, "Actually, there is a way. Brother Fei Chi can go to the UK first, and Haiyuan takes it.
After taking the temporary antidote, wouldn’t it be enough to go to England as Miyano Shiho and then go find him after transforming back into Haibara Ai?”
"That's just a last resort," Hui Yuan Ai reminded in a cold voice, "Do you think Brother Fei Chi will trust me to fly there alone?"
"What if you add the doctor?" Conan suggested, "When the time comes, you can tell the doctor that he is going too, and find a reason to let him go first. If you have the doctor with you, he will be relieved, right?"
Haiyuan Ai was a little helpless, "However, when I was asked about this by Brother Fei Chi before, I said I didn't have a passport. He asked me to prepare the relevant materials. He could find someone to help me and I could get my passport in three days...
…”
"You're not going to agree to give him the materials, are you?" After Conan asked, he reassured, "Okay, okay, can't we just find a reason to fool him? Just say you remembered it wrong. In fact, you have a passport."
Dr. A Li compared the difficulty of the two methods and looked at Haihara Ai hesitantly, "Xiao Ai..."
"Then let's do this for now."
Seeing that Conan had no choice, Haibara agreed vaguely, but he still felt a little unwilling in his heart. He logged into the bounty forum at night, found a link to the black market, and searched the black market to see if anyone could provide relevant proof.
There are similar channels in the black market, but she doesn't trust them no matter what.
Dr. A Li saw Haiyuan Ai's actions and guessed that Haiyuan Ai still wanted to try to obtain the household registration certificate. He accompanied Haiyuan Ai to find channels and discussed many ways with him.
Until late at night, the two still could not find a method that was reliable enough and had a high success rate.
After waking up, Haiyuan Ai sat in front of the computer again, sorting out the collected information and calculating the success rates of various plans.
Dr. Agasa was worried that Haibara Ai would hurt her eyes by staring at the computer for too long, so she took Haibara Ai for a long walk around the area at noon, using the excuse of "going out to eat", and went all the way to a sushi restaurant in Yoneka Town 3-chome for lunch.
There was a table of sushi, but Haihara Ai ate absent-mindedly and often lost his mind.
Dr. A Li sighed, "Xiao Ai, let's take it slow. As long as we solve the problem within ten days, it's still too late. And isn't there the method that Shinichi said?"
"I know," Haiyuan Ai responded casually, ate the sushi in his hand, suddenly looked up at Dr. A Li, and whispered seriously, "By the way, doctor, have you noticed?"
"Wha, what?" Dr. Ali was confused.
Haiyuan Ai looked around with the corner of his sight and said in a soft voice, "It seems that someone has been staring at us since just now... No, when that line of sight first appeared, it should have been on the street."
Dr. A Li was stunned and looked around nervously, "Yeah, that means..."
"Someone has been following us from the street to here," Hui Yuan Ai said softly, and then reminded, "Doctor, don't look around too deliberately. Don't let the other party know before you are sure who the other party is.
We've found it."
This sushi restaurant is quite large, and it was lunchtime, so there were many customers sitting in the restaurant.
At the bar facing away from them, there were two adult women, one adult man, and a child, a total of four customers.
The two female guests must have come together, chatting quietly while eating, with shopping bags at their feet. They must be friends who were shopping nearby and came to eat on the way.
The male guest was wearing a dark gray trench coat and black-rimmed glasses. His face was not cleanly shaved. He looked a little lazy and decadent. He lowered his head and concentrated on eating the food, and did not communicate with the child sitting next to him.
The child was wearing a cool dark blue hooded coat with the hood pulled up and large English letters printed on the back of the coat. Since his back was to them and the coat was very long, it was not sure whether the child was wearing a skirt or shorts.
, only the exposed calves and a pair of white flat shoes can be seen, so it is impossible to determine whether it is a little boy or a little girl.
Among the guests at other tables, the ones closest to them were a group of young men and women wearing uniform work clothes...
Soon, Haiyuan Ai found that he no longer had to look for it.
When she withdrew her gaze and only used the corner of her vision to pay attention to her surroundings, the child sitting in front of the counter turned to look at them, seeming to be staring at her.
The hat blocked the upper half of the child's face, and she could only see the child's fair chin, but she felt that sight clearly.
Thinking about it this way, the eyes staring at them on the street don't seem to be coming from high places...
In order to confirm, Haihara Ai also paid special attention to other people in the store, but did not find anyone else looking at them.
"Who on earth could it be..." Dr. A Li pretended to lower his head to eat, muttering in a low voice, moving his eyes around, and suddenly found Haihara Ai standing up, and looked over in surprise, "Xiao, Xiao Ai?"
Before Haihara Ai walked to the bar, the child sitting in front of the bar looked back. When he found that Haihara Ai was also looking at him, he froze in his seat. He didn't know what he was thinking, and quickly climbed down from the high chair.
Walking towards where Haibara Ai and Dr. Ali are.
In front of the bar, the slumped man just glanced sideways when the child made any move, and then quickly lowered his head to eat the food in front of him.
"As expected, when you see a child and an adult man sitting next to each other to eat, everyone will think that the child was brought here to eat by his father." Haiyuan Ai looked at the hem of the child's skirt under his coat and confirmed that it was
It was a girl, and she looked up at the other person's cool coat, "But the difference between the two people's clothing styles is too big..."
The zipper of the girl's thick black coat is pulled high, and a dark blue skirt is exposed at the lower corner. The luster is like metal. At first glance, it is full of cool science fiction style.
She was a little far away before, and the girl's face was blocked by her coat and hat. When she got closer, she could clearly see the mixed-race face under the hat.
On that face, the face shape is not much different from that of most Asian children. The lines are soft and round, and with the baby fat, it is a common face shape of cute girls. At the same time, the lines between the eyebrows, eyes, and nose are relatively deep, and the lines between the eyebrows, eyes, and nose are relatively deep.
With a pair of big eyes with sapphire blue pupils, one can tell at a glance that she is a mixed-race girl.
What really surprised her was that this face was not unfamiliar to her at all. Rather than saying that it looked very similar to her, it was better to say...except for the slightly different eye color, that face was exactly the same as her current face!
While she was looking at him, the other person also walked up to her and raised his head to look at her, so that she could see that the other person was held down by the hat and had some hair exposed on the side of his face.
Brown wavy short hair...
The same long curly hair as hers, the same brown hair color as hers...
Even the hair style and the hair texture that can be vaguely discerned under the light look exactly like hers.
"What's wrong? Xiao Ai..." Dr. Ali looked up in confusion at the girl standing in front of Haiyuan Ai. He happened to see the girl raise her hand and pull down the hat on her head, and was stunned for a moment, "This, this...
"
Huiyuan Ai looked at the person in front of him blankly.
Seeing the doctor's reaction was so strong, it proved that she was not hallucinating. The little girl in front of her looked exactly the same as her, except for being two or three centimeters taller than her, and except for the slight difference in eye color!
Grace Ahhara also looked at Haiyuan Ai in shock.
Before she came here, she knew that the other person was very similar to her. She had glanced at him several times on the road just now, but it was far less shocking than seeing him face to face.
