Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Chapter 138: Dr. Agasa’s First Love (4)

Dr. Agasa didn't understand why, but he did as he was told.

"Xiao Shen and Ichiro, what's wrong?"

Based on the highly consistent pronunciation of the zoo director's name and the number, Yoshida Ayumi and other two believed that the clue was in the zoo.

Conan couldn't persuade the three of them, so he had to go to the zoo together.

As soon as they entered the zoo, Ayumi Yoshida and the other two searched everywhere for Dr. Agasa's first love, but there were too many people in the zoo and they couldn't find Miss Kinoshita at all.

As they searched, their eyes were involuntarily attracted by the adorable giant pandas not far away.

"Wow, pandas are so cute!"

"Yes, I really want to raise one."

Kirihara Aka also heard their conversation and couldn't help but break their fantasy, "You can't afford to raise a panda. He eats a lot of bamboo every day, and that's not even the staple food..."

"Akaye, how did you know that?"

"I visited Huaxia before and talked to the panda keeper. What do the numbers on the sign next to them mean?"

digital?

Conan immediately looked through the admission brochure, but there was no marking on it.

At this time, a zoo employee happened to pass by and explained to them, "This number was arranged by our director based on the order in which the animals entered the zoo. The giant panda is exactly the 58th animal introduced."

Ayumi Yoshida and the other two deciphered the code "4163", and the next one was "33".

"Uncle, what was the 33rd animal introduced?"

"Let me think, and I remember it's a donkey."

"donkey?"

The three idiots of Teitan recalled that the sound of a donkey was very similar to the number "6". They determined that this was the correct answer and happily ran towards the donkey exhibition area.

Conan is still struggling with the last digit "0". He does not think that Kojima Genta and others' reasoning is correct.

But when they ran there, they found that there was really a lady wearing a hat standing in front of the donkey with her back to them. This made Conan a little dazed and made him doubt his own reasoning ability.

"Doctor, come over here quickly!"

Dr. Agasa felt a little embarrassed as he was urged forward by Yoshida Ayumi and the others.

He relaxed instantly when he saw the familiar person.

The old lady opposite called him "Agasa-san".

Kirihara Akaya and the others looked at the two people happily talking and felt that the facts somewhat subverted their imagination.

"Is that lady Dr. Agasa's first love?"

"Ah? She is the Miss Kinoshita with the big black eyes?"

Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but complain: "As expected, people will put a hazy filter over their memories."

Conan keenly felt that something was wrong. "That lady seems too old. When the doctor met her, she was in the fourth grade. Forty years have passed. She should be in her forties now. How come..."

Kirihara Akaya didn't think it was wrong. He knew several people whose ages did not match their appearance, especially his most beloved vice-minister. "Conan, maybe she just ages fast. Don't think too much about it. Wait until the doctor comes back and ask him."

After a while, Dr. Agasa separated from the lady and walked towards Conan and the others.

"Dr. Agasa, is that Miss Kinoshita?"

"No, you misunderstood. That's Ms. Noi, the family that keeps the dog. Ms. Noi's dog's grandson also passed away, so she came here to relax."

"Ah~"

Ayumi Yoshida had to admit that they were wrong and felt a little disappointed.

Conan held the postcard and said, "I told you that if all the clues are not solved, the answer you deduce will not be correct."

"What the hell is that?"

Huihara Ai looked at Dr. Agasa, "Do you remember anything about Ms. Kinoshita? Besides her big eyes."

"She loved taking care of the school's chickens, had freckles on her face and always wore her hat pulled low."

The detail of lowering the brim of the hat caught Conan's attention, but he didn't think of the key point.

Because they found the zoo by using the homophones of numbers, they are now continuing to experiment with using the homophones of the names of the animals in the zoo in an attempt to find that animal.

They said a series of animal names, all of which seemed unreliable, until the doctor said "gerbil".

Teitan Sansha was happy again, "It's Flying Squirrel!"

Haibara Ai poured cold water on the side, "Isn't this the same as before? The most critical 0 is still not cracked."

However, Conan felt that Yoshida Ayumi and the others' guesses made sense this time.

"Not necessarily. If 0 means we can't see it during the day, this explanation makes sense because flying squirrels are nocturnal animals."

When Yoshida Ayumi and the other two heard that Conan agreed with their point of view, they felt that this was a sure thing.

"Conan, can we see flying squirrels here?"

"Yes, there is a special pavilion for nocturnal animals here."

The group then came to the Nocturnal Animal Pavilion, and a lady with long flowing hair was standing in front of the flying squirrel exhibition area.

Because Conan also participated in the reasoning this time, everyone felt very confident.

When Dr. Agasa saw that figure, he froze in place, a little afraid to walk forward and recognize the person.

"Dr. Agasa, please go quickly. Ms. Kinoshita has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Yes, Doctor, hurry up, you can finally meet Miss Kinoshita!"

Dr. Agasa suppressed his shyness and walked behind the lady, "Excuse me..."

Before he could finish his question, he was frightened by the man's appearance and swallowed the rest of his sentence.

"It's Agasa!"

Children are relatively innocent. They don’t know what a cross-dresser is, but they always find it weird to see girls with unshaven beards.

Dr. Agasa scratched his head awkwardly, "Do you know me?"

"You used to come to my house and play with the golden hamster."

"Oh, you are Haruo from the Dieno family. You were still a child back then. I didn't expect you to have grown up so much. Haha, are you here to play alone?"

"Of course not, I came here with my lover, and he is there."

When Dr. Agasa saw someone coming to see Haruo Chouno, he found an excuse to leave and returned to Conan and the others.

"Alas, Doctor, we still haven't helped you find Miss Kinoshita."

"It doesn't matter. Maybe she and I are not meant to be together?"

Conan asked the question that concerned him the most, "Doctor, have you and Ms. Kinoshita ever been to the zoo?"

"No, this is my first time here."

Huihara Ai concluded: "So this is not a place where you have good memories at all."

"Yes."

Just at this moment someone opened the door of the nocturnal animal museum, a gust of wind blew, and Yoshida Ayumi turned around to pick up the postcard that was blown away.

"I remembered."

The impatient Kirihara Akaya asked quickly, "Doctor, what did you remember?"
