The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Because it was the weekend and the weather was nice in autumn, many people who were on break chose to visit the Dongdu Zoo, so there was a long queue at the ticket gate.

Chiyoko relied on the fact that she was in a wheelchair to go through the green channel, while others had to wait in line for more than ten minutes before being able to enter the park.

"Hey, everyone, you must look for it seriously!" Yuantai was a little impatient while waiting in line, afraid that these ten minutes would be wasted, and called out very enthusiastically.

"We must find the doctor's first love!" His tone was extremely serious.

"I didn't say that person was my first love..." Dr. Agasa said dryly with a red face.

Haibara Ai took a glance and complained in her heart: Your thoughts are completely written on your face, okay?

Conan held the postcard in deep thought.

"Even if we take a step back and connect 4163 with Mr. Yoichiro, what do the 33 and 6 at the end mean?"

The three little ones were attracted to the giant panda pavilion at some point and were clinging to the glass partition, looking out eagerly.

"Hey, you guys..."

"Look, there are numbers posted outside different venues." Huihara Ai pointed to the number "58" sign outside the Giant Panda Pavilion.

"It seems that the director himself numbers each new animal in order every time he introduces it." Chiyoko operated on the terminal that had been repaired after returning and found some information.

"Eh? What is animal number 33?" Ayumi turned around and asked.

“It seems like a Texas donkey.”

Mitsuhiko realized: "Animal No. 4163 introduced by 33... must be in the donkey house!"

The three little ones ran away excitedly again.

"Really..." Conan forced out dead fish eyes, "0 means there is still no result, these guys are really impatient."

"Even if it was Animal No. 33, that only happened seven years ago. There's no way it could be related to the code agreed upon 7 years ago, right?" Chiyoko yawned and put away the terminal.

Huihara Ai gripped the handle of the wheelchair and pushed him to follow slowly. "It is hard to imagine that the two children at that time would regard the zoo as an 'old place'. It is still unclear whether they had been here at that time."

Dr. Agasa touched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "I really haven't been to the zoo very often."

"That's why you should have said it earlier." Conan rolled his eyes.

"Hehe...it seems the kids are having a great time." Dr. Agasa smiled cheerfully, still looking as kind as usual.

"Actually, I don't have any obsession with this matter anymore. I'll just treat it as a holiday activity for them. Isn't it nice to stroll around the zoo?"

"That's true." Conan shook his head, suppressed the compulsive psychology when facing the puzzle, and began to focus more on enjoying the holiday.

Chiyoko raised her head and saw that Haibara Ai was a little absent-minded, and kept looking back from time to time.

“You like pandas very much?”

"There shouldn't be anyone who doesn't like this cute creature, right?" the tsundere girl asked back.

"Indeed." Chiyoko nodded, "It's just a pity that there are too few of them, and the conditions for their habitat are very strict. Basically, only China has them, and other countries can only rent them."

"I saw on the Internet that there are quite a few giant pandas in Sichuan and Chongqing. Every family in their area is responsible for raising one. When they were young, they rode giant pandas to school." Huihara Ai showed a longing look.

Chiyoko was a little amused and confused. Did this woman take the cross-dressing meme on the Internet seriously?

"They are all lying with open eyes and big mouth. The essence is that they can't get close to giant pandas, so they deceive other people who don't know about them for fun. Of course, they are also deceiving themselves."

Huihara Ai was a little disappointed, "I said that the data could not be faked like this, it turns out to be nonsense... These people on the Internet are just like you, and they don't have any serious words."

"Hehe..." Chiyomi was attacked for no reason and had to force a smile.

For some reason, this woman seemed to be getting more and more dissatisfied with him...

The three little ones had already arrived at Donkey House No. 33 and started to investigate by looking around.

"It's a woman, and she's wearing a hat!" Mitsuhiko was the first to discover it, and shouted, pointing at a tall figure beside the fence.

The person was wearing a brown-green tight skirt and a small round-brimmed hat on her head. When she heard Mitsuhiko's voice, she turned around in confusion.

The three little ones froze in place.

What a pretty... old woman?!

Professor Agasa and the three fake kids also hurried over. When the professor saw the man, he was a little surprised: "You, are you?"

"Huh? Isn't this Agasa?" The old woman also smiled in surprise, with wrinkles on her face.

"Long time no see."

"Yes, almost several decades ago."

"Your hair is much less than before..."

"Yeah yeah......"

The two chatted happily.

The three little ones gathered together on one side, discussing in low voices.

"Could this mother-in-law be the doctor's first love with those big, round eyes?"

There is something wonderful about their expressions.

"This is a typical example of how time beautifies memory." Haibara Ai commented lightly. She did not express any opinion about the "beauty"'s aging and fading beauty.

After all, in her own guess, she is probably the same. After reaching a certain age, she will age rapidly and become ugly. This is the short "flowering period" unique to mixed-race people.

There is nothing unacceptable. Everyone is equal in the face of time.

"Hey, hey..." Chiyoko couldn't bear it any longer, "I said, have you forgotten something?"

"The doctor is only fifty years old this year. The reason why he looks so old is because of his special personal circumstances. As his junior, Kinoshita should only be in her forties this year, right?"

"Even if women age faster than men, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"

He pointed at the old woman and said, "This woman looks like she is almost 70 years old, okay? How did you make such an outrageous judgment that she is Kinoshita?!"

Conan nodded in agreement. He just felt that the age didn't match. After all, the mother-in-law was too old.

"See you next time then." On the doctor's side, the old lady had already said goodbye with a smile.

The three little ones couldn't hold back any longer, so they quickly stepped forward and surrounded Dr. Agasa to ask questions.

"Who is that, Doctor?"

"Isn't she your first love?"

Dr. Agasa was also confused by their question, "Of course not, the person just now was someone I knew before."

"It's Noi-san who has a dog at home. The dog's grandson died recently and she felt a little lonely, so she came to the zoo to take a look."

"Huh..." The three little ones breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"But number 4163 in 33 clearly refers to Mr. Yoichiro's donkey. Why is it wrong?" Mitsuhiko thought in distress.

"So there's no way to explain the 6 and the 0 behind it." Conan was speechless.

Haibara Ai did not join in the effort to figure out the unknown code, but instead turned to ask the doctor, hoping to start from another point.

"Any other memories you can recall, Doctor?"

"Let me think about it." Dr. Agasa pinched his chin and thought hard.

"If I were to say, besides having big, beautiful blue eyes, Kinoshita also likes to take care of the chicks in school, and has cute freckles on her cheeks..."

"And I don't know why he always wears a hat."

"Wearing a hat?" Conan keenly sensed a hint of a clue.

"Yeah, I remember that she rarely wore a hat..." As he spoke, the doctor fell into a trance again and fell silent.

Chiyoko turned around thoughtfully and looked at Huihara Ai: "Speaking of beautiful blue eyes, aren't Ai's eyes the best? As clear as lake water."

"Because my mother is British." Huibara Ai said lightly.

"I am half British, so I was born with this hair and eye color. It's not something you can choose."

"I'm praising you..." Chiyoko said weakly.

Haibara Ai glanced at him noncommittally and crossed her arms.

"If it's really like what the doctor said, maybe one of the child's parents is a foreigner. As a mixed-race with a special hair color, he often wears a hat to cover it because he is afraid of being isolated and laughed at by others."

"When I was studying in the United States, I was discriminated against because of my Asian appearance. When it was serious, I even had to wear a mask to go to school. It was not until I graduated and entered graduate school... It was better in elementary school."

Realizing that she almost let the cat out of the bag, Huihara Ai calmly made up for herself: "But it's still inconvenient for my life, so now I transferred to Japan."

"I see."

"I can't imagine such a young girl like Huiyuan wearing a mask to go to kindergarten..."

“So sad…”

The three little ones looked at her sympathetically.

Huiyuan Ai was a little embarrassed and quickly said: "Don't look at me like that, I'm living a good life now, right?"

"Yeah, instead of sympathizing with her, it's better to be careful of her cold violence..." Chiyoko whispered softly behind her.

Veins popped up on Haibara Ai's forehead and his fists stiffened.

The silver-haired kid had already shrank back into his wheelchair timidly with an innocent expression.

Dr. Agasa seemed to be enlightened, and clapped his hands in sudden realization: "I remember now!"

"Kinoshita is indeed a mixed-race, and has light brown hair!"

"Once her hat was blown away by the wind, and I helped her pick it up, but she squatted on the ground holding her head in fear, and kept shouting 'Don't look'!"

"She was afraid that I would laugh at her because of her unique hair color. But I really liked the color that was the same as the ginkgo leaf. How could I laugh at her?"

Conan suddenly understood and said in surprise: "If he is a mixed-race, then it makes sense!"

"The numbers written on the back of the postcard do have something to do with animals..."

He took out the postcard and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"It's just not the name of an animal..."

"It's a cry!"
