He guessed then that it must be a story from forty years ago.

And the facts were just as he had imagined.

Seeing that Guangyou agreed, Fusa began to tell him the story from back then.

It wasn't explained in great detail; some parts were omitted.

For example, her feelings at the time were not described in detail, but only mentioned briefly.

Therefore, the story is told very quickly.

Within minutes, Fusa told Kōyū about the events of that year.

This includes the agreed-upon content, the meaning of the hints, and the answer to the code.

This is why he was able to text Ai with such certainty, saying it was "related".

Of course, this time Kōyū was more cautious and deliberately avoided looking at and replying to Fusae's text messages, so that she wouldn't see them.

After replying to Ai, Kousuke looked up at Fusae and said:

"So, Auntie, there's a story like this between you and the professor."

"Kuangyou, please don't tell Agasa!" Fusae said to Kuangyou again.

"Don't worry!" Guangyou readily agreed.

If he wanted to tell Professor Agasa, he would have done so long ago; there's no need to wait until now.

By the way, is there any progress on Ai's side?

Time is running out.

...

Seeing that Guangyou nodded in agreement, Fusa E focused her gaze on the ginkgo leaves.

Recalling the past, a slight smile curved her lips, which were adorned with pink lipstick.

She didn't want to affect Professor Agasa's current life.

It's enough to know from Kosuke that Professor Agasa is doing well.

Deep down, she certainly hoped that Professor Agasa would come.

But forty years have passed, and he must have married and had children by now.

I wonder if he still remembers her?

Do you still remember that little girl from forty years ago who was so afraid of animals that even if there was a door blocking her way, she wouldn't dare to go through it and could only hide behind a telephone pole?

Do you remember that little girl who, because her hat was blown away, revealing her blonde hair, was afraid of being treated as an outsider, afraid of losing her friends, and crouched on the ground crying with her head in her hands?

Do you still remember that day when golden ginkgo leaves, the same color as her hair, fell from the tree and covered the ground?

Do you remember...

Do you remember her?

...

In that instant, memories from the past welled up from the depths of her heart, causing Fusae to sigh involuntarily:

Time flies!

"It feels like forty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

After a few sighs, Fusa turned her gaze back to Kousuke.

After talking to Guangyou for so long, she felt much better.

Although she didn't express it, she had waited four times over forty years without Professor Agasa coming, so how could she possibly be in a good mood?

But after talking to Kōyū for so long, she felt that her disappointment at not getting to see Professor Agasa had been somewhat dispelled.

That's the benefit of having someone to confide in.

Keeping unhappy things bottled up inside will only make you more and more unhappy.

Either do something else to distract yourself;

You should talk to someone about these things; it will make you feel better if you talk about it.

However, there are very few people they can confide in, and some people still choose to keep it to themselves.

She looked at Guangyou with a smile and said:

"Kuangyou, thank you."

In fact, Kwang-woo could vaguely guess the reason.

He waved his hand and said:

"Although I don't know what you're thanking me for, Auntie, I still want to say that you're welcome."

Fusae's mood will probably improve when Professor Agasa arrives.

Thinking of this, Kōyū asked Fusae:

"Auntie, you said you're waiting for the PhD here today, what time are you going to wait?"

"After the sun sets, everything will be the same as before," Fusae said calmly.

"The same as before?"

"No, today will definitely not be the same as before."

After Fusa said those words, Kōyū thought to himself that this was the thought.

...

At the Tokyo Zoo, Conan and his friends are still trying to decipher the code.

Unintentionally, Professor Agasa's guess while deciphering the code gave Ayumi and her two friends an idea.

"Flying Squirrel!"

“But isn’t this interpretation the same as before?” Ai asked. “The meaning of that '0' is still not clear.”

"It seems so..." Ayumi said, her smile fading.

But Conan has a different opinion:

"That's not necessarily true."

Didn't it say so on the postcard?

"Meet me in a place full of memories before the sun goes down."

"Flying squirrels mostly rest in their nests during the day and only come out at night to look for food."

"In other words, before sunset, tourists can see virtually no flying squirrels."

If we interpret the code this way, it makes sense in general.

4613 can be interpreted as Mr. Ichiro.

The numbers 33, 6, and 0 that follow can be interpreted as flying squirrels.

The former alludes to a zoo, while the latter directly indicates the area inhabited by flying squirrels.

E Ino also has some questions about this:

"But are there any animals in the zoo that can only be seen at night?"

The zoo also closes at night.

If animals really only come out at night, then tourists won't be able to see them at all.

Upon hearing Genta's question, Conan helplessly explained to him:

"Most zoos will specifically build cages indoors."

"The purpose is to allow tourists to see animals that are only active at night, even during the day."

The code seems to have been deciphered, and there are no major logical errors.
