Model worker and his little darling

They discovered that the zoo director's name sounded exactly like the first four digits of the postcard, 4163, so they immediately concluded that the code indicated the location of the zoo.

Hearing the three little ones keep mentioning the zoo, Ping Qing's eyes flickered; he seemed to have forgotten about this mysterious organization.

My gaze swept over Conan and Ai Haibara. Could it be a zoo?

Not many people in the organization know about Conan and Ai Haibara, so how did the zoo notice the difference between them? Was it because of him? No, he's been by their side for so long without getting into trouble.

So, does that mean they have a zoo mole among them?

Rum had only recently learned about the two men's identities, so the problem must be with Rum's side?

In the car.

Conan looked at Hirai, who was deep in thought, and asked, "Hirai-nii, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about what to eat tonight, I'm hungry."

Seeing Pingqing's perfunctory attitude, Conan rolled his eyes. "Then why did you suddenly come to Dr. Agasa's house?"

"So many things have happened lately, I think it's safer to stay with you guys."

"is it?"

Ping Qing shrugged. "And what do you think?"

With no other option, Conan focused his attention on the coded messages.

Tokyo Zoo.

Amidst the comings and goings of people, the three little ones kept weaving through the crowd, trying to find the professor's first love.

After searching for a while, Conan felt that he still needed to decipher the numbers behind him, but when he turned around, he saw the three little ones engrossed in a giant panda.

Haibara noticed a number 58 next to the panda.

Seeing this, an employee explained, "This is a number assigned by the zoo director according to the order in which the new animals entered the zoo. It means that the giant panda is the 58th animal to come in."

"What was the 33rd animal to enter the park?"

The man thought for a moment, "I think it was a donkey."

Pingqing was taken aback. Are donkeys that precious? In Japan, you have to buy a ticket to see them.

The three little ones rushed towards the donkey's location, and to their surprise, they actually found a woman.

This shocked Conan. They found the person even though the code hadn't been cracked yet?

The three children walked towards the woman's elegant and kind back, "Excuse me..."

The woman turned around in response, revealing a kind face.

The doctor looked surprised. "You wouldn't happen to be..."

"Agasa-kun!"

The detective team was taken aback, while the doctor greeted them with delight, "Long time no see!"

The three little ones looked confused. "Could this old lady have those big, dark eyes, and be the doctor's first love from forty years ago?"

Haibara sighed, "This really is a classic example of how time can beautify memories."

"But isn't she a bit too old? She should be around 50."

Conan's suspicion was met with Mitsuhiko's high EQ response: "She must have gone through a lot."

After exchanging pleasantries, the old lady left alone.

This long-awaited reunion was not as moving as the detective team had imagined.

Seeing the detective team's disappointed expressions, the professor quickly explained, "She is Ms. Noi, the one who owns the vicious dog. The dog's grandson died last month, and she came to the zoo because she was so lonely."

Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko suddenly lost his composure, "I was just thinking, how could it be someone so old?"

There's no first love for the PhD here; the three little ones continue to solve the mystery using homophones.

After giving full play to their imaginations, the three of them came up with the same idea: "336 refers to a flying squirrel."

However, this time Conan felt that there was some truth to it: "Flying squirrels are nocturnal animals that are active only at night. That is to say, they sleep in their nests before sunset, so the number of flying squirrels seen by visitors outside is 0."

Ping Qing clicked his tongue; Conan had also learned that trick of talking nonsense from Uncle Mori.

That girl using such complicated codes probably means she doesn't really want to meet Professor Agasa.

The group arrived at the nocturnal animal exhibit, and the result did not disappoint.

In front of the flying squirrel window, there was a woman with long black hair and a graceful figure, who also seemed to be waiting for someone.

Seeing this, Conan confidently said, "Although she's not wearing a hat, I think it must be her."

"Alright, now that we meet again after forty years, you'd better do your best."

Encouraged and encouraged by the detective team, the doctor walked over with a blush on his face.

"Excuse me, may I ask..."

The woman turned around and shocked everyone, "A man...a man!"

Turning around, they saw a flamboyant man with exquisite makeup and a slight beard.

"Isn't this the young professor? Long time no see, how have you been?"

Faced with the man's enthusiasm, the doctor was somewhat overwhelmed. "Excuse me, who are you?"

The man twisted his body coquettishly, "Oh, you've forgotten me? Didn't you used to come to my house often to look at the golden hamster?"

The doctor's eyes widened. "Could it be that you are Haruo Chono?"

"Great, you still remember me, but you didn't recognize me, did you?"

The doctor was still bewildered. "Back then, you were just a snotty-nosed kid, six years younger than me. What are you doing here today?"

Haruo Chono playfully slapped the professor's arm and said shyly, "Oh, you're so silly! Of course I'm here on a date with my boyfriend. We chose to meet here because he likes rodents."

The doctor gave an awkward laugh.

Haibara glanced at Hirai, imagining Gin and Hirai making those moves in her mind, and a chill ran down her spine, giving her goosebumps.

Seeing Haibara's actions, Taira Kiyoshi rolled his eyes.

However, Conan wasn't entirely wrong this time; he did indeed find a cunning Zero here.

The detective team regretfully went to the wrong person again. Seeing that time was running out, they decided to make an announcement over the loudspeaker to find the person.

"Ms. Kinoshita, Mr. Agasa is waiting for you. Please go to the Nocturnal Animal Museum to meet him."

However, there was no response.

"It seems the person you were looking for didn't come."

Three hours later, he started to get anxious. "Doctor, have you thought of anything? This zoo holds your memories, right?"

"No, this is my first time here."

The three little ones stood dejectedly to one side, saying, "We came to the wrong place from the very beginning. This is not a place full of memories at all."

"I'm so sorry, seeing how hard you all worked. But it's enough, I'm already very satisfied. Let my memories of her remain unchanged, preserved forever in my heart as beautiful images. Besides, I don't want her to see me bald."

The doctor was in a good mood, but the moment he stepped out of the nocturnal animal enclosure, a gust of wind swept across his face. The doctor froze on the spot, and a scene from forty years ago suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

“I just suddenly remembered something about her hair.”
