Chapter 204: Ginkgo Biloba Land of Memories
"Thank you so much for the house, Yusaku."
Inside Kudo's house, Dr. Asa scratched his head and exchanged a contract he had just signed for Yusaku Kudo.
Kudo Yusaku smiled slightly, handed over the check that had been prepared on the table, and said, "Doctor, you don't have to be so polite, after all, we have been neighbors for so many years, and that kid from Shinichi will also hold shares in your company in the future, the house is a trivial matter, and I have long wanted to change to a bigger house, and it is just right to buy your house Doctor, and it saves you the trouble of moving." β
"Uh...... Thank you anyway, Yusaku. Dr. Asa heard the politeness in Kudo Yusaku's words, but he was not good at words, and he could only continue to explain a little stiffly, "The main thing is that the recent experiment has wasted a lot of research funds on Mu Yuanjun, and only this house is worth some money on me, although it can't be compared with Mu Yuanjun's loss, but ...... If you can compensate for something, make up for it! β
"Doctor, you......" Kudo Yusaku shook his head a little helplessly, he didn't think that Mu Yuan would lack the money from Dr. Asa to sell the house, but this was the doctor's own decision after all, he still chose to respect, "Don't talk about this, let's hurry up and pick up Mu Yuanjun at the door." β
"Ah, yes!" Dr. Asa hurriedly slipped the check into the pocket of his white coat and was about to walk out, but his eyes were once again focused on the postcard in Kudo's hand, "That, Yusaku, the ...... on this postcard"
"Doctor, you're trying to ask about the exact location of the 'Land of Memory', right?" Yusaku Kudo walked out from behind his desk and patted the doctor on the shoulder, "Let's go pick up Mu Yuanjun first." β
"Hmm...... It's good. Dr. Asasa took the postcard and walked out of the library of Kudo House side by side with Yusaku Kudo.
β¦
β¦
"Mu Yuan, what's so urgent?"
At the door of Kudo's house, Dr. Asa and Yusaku Kudo greeted them together.
Mu Yuan saw the postcard in the doctor's hand, and turned to Kudo Yusaku, "Mr. Kudo, this should be our first official meeting, right?" β
"I can't hide it from you...... Kudo Yusaku squinted and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, Mu Yuanjun is also here for this postcard of the doctor, right?" β
Mu Yuan nodded calmly and admitted, "That's right, doctor, I've already met Miss Kinoshita. β
"What!?" Dr. Asa was shocked, "This, she, no, what's wrong with you?" β
The chaotic words vividly expressed the confusion in Dr. Asasa's mind, and he really couldn't understand how Mu Yuan could find people out when he, the client, didn't know the other party's name.
Not only Dr. Agasa, but even Yusaku Kudo, who was still confident, widened his eyes in surprise.
With just this clue left on the postcard, I found the person who couldn't even remember what Dr. Asa looked like after 40 years?
This kind of thing, even he can't do it!
"Mu Yuanjun, did Ms. Kinoshita also go to that place today?" Yusaku Kudo frowned, finally thinking of a possibility.
Mu Yuan shook his head, "No, the location on the postcard, Miss Kinoshita only goes once every ten years. β
"Then you are ......"
β¦
"Wait!" Just as Kudo Yusaku was thinking about maybe more clues, Dr. Asa interrupted the two of them anxiously, "You are Makiyuan...... Have you really met Miss Kinoshita? β
Facing Dr. Agasa's extremely serious eyes, Mu Yuan nodded very affirmatively.
Dr. Asasa's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath.
"Can you ...... then?"
There was some hesitation in anticipation, and the doctor stopped talking.
Mu Yuan understood what Dr. Asa meant, but he shook his head and said, "Doctor, I can take you to see Lady Kinoshita, provided that you personally find the place where the two of you agreed. β
"Huh? This ......" Dr. Asa was stunned, looking at the postcard in his hand and embarrassed, "but I can't remember ...... at all"
"Doctor," Yusaku Kudo glanced at Makito with admiration, and suddenly patted Dr. Asasa on the shoulder, "Miss Kinoshita actually left a clue on the postcard. β
"Clues?" Dr. Asa quickly looked at the postcard and quickly found the suspicious number, "4163,33,6,0...... This is indeed a hint she left, so to speak...... Yusaku, you've been! β
"No, Doctor, you're misleading," Kudo waved his hand as if forgiving, "Even I'm not able to solve any kind of puzzle, I think that Miss Kinoshita's use is a code that only she and the doctor can understand." β
"Is that ......?"
Dr. Asa lowered his head and strained his thumb holding the postcard slightly, and suddenly his expression relaxed, "That's right, if she found that place by relying on the strength of others, she would be very disappointed when she found out......
"Thank you, Mu Yuanjun, ...... Yusa" Dr. Asa raised his head and smiled with relief, "I'm already very satisfied, let's let my memories with her be kept as they are, and they will always be stored in my heart with a beautiful appearance!" Moreover...... I don't want her to see me bald, ahaha......"
βοΌβ
Muyuan and Kudo Yusaku were stunned at the same time.
Kudo Yusaku looked at Mu Yuan with a strange expression, and Mu Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to act directly.
"Huh!? Mu, Mu Yuanjun??? β
In mid-air, without even giving Dr. Asa a chance to question his strength, Mu Yuan put Dr. Doctor directly in the driver's seat of the Beetle.
"First stop, Doctor, where you and Lady Kinoshita first met, let's go." Facing Dr. Asasa's suspicious gaze, Mu Yuan said calmly and unquestionably.
In the face of Mu Yuan's strength, Dr. Asa was sure in his heart, and suddenly looked up at the road ahead, held the steering wheel tightly, and stepped on the accelerator without saying a word.
Amid the sound of the engine in Dudu, Mu Yuan waved his hand out of the window and said, "Mr. Yusaku, ask Ms. Yukiko for me." β
β¦
"This kid ......"
Kudo Yusaku took a long time before retracting his surprised gaze and shaking his head slightly.
At this time, Yukiko Kudo suddenly walked out from behind the door and looked at her husband with a curious expression, "Yusaku, didn't you really solve the puzzle on the postcard?" β
"Heh......" Yusaku Kudo smiled mysteriously, "The agreement between two people who have been carefully guarded for forty years is too uninteresting to destroy such a beautiful person." β
"Huh?" Kudo Yukiko blinked her eyes in confusion, looking at her husband's dashing figure back to the house, and it took a while before she suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Okay, wow, you have a bad heart, you just deliberately don't want to tell me, right!?" β
Yusaku Kudo didn't stop, calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and prepared to leisurely savor the warm little love between husband and wife.
However, this time, Yukiko did not pestering her husband to keep asking questions as before, but suddenly rolled her eyes......
"Hehe, good! Since Yusaku won't tell me the answer to the puzzle, I'll go tell Shinichi that his father stole his seal and asked his actress mother to pretend to be him, and signed a deed of sale for an unknown amount with Dr. Asasa's company in the presence of lawyer Fei Yingli......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Yusaku Kudo coughed violently as soon as he took a puff of his cigarette.
Signing the agreement to purchase shares of Erquan Group as a son, but you must not let Kudo Shinichi know about it, although that kid's reasoning ability is still a little meaningless, but he can definitely still see the meaning behind this agreement.
γ
When the time comes......
[That stinky boy with a strong sense of revenge will definitely tell those people in the magazine and editorial department about my sneaking back to the book! ] γ
Thinking of this, Yusaku Kudo didn't care about teasing Yukiko anymore, so he hurriedly told the results of his reasoning.
β¦
"These numbers are really clues related to animals!" After listening to Yusaku's reasoning, Arikiko exclaimed, "That little girl actually came up with the idea of using numbers to express the number of English letters to describe the sounds of this animal, and combined the memories of her and Dr. Asasa ......"
Kudo Yusaku smiled: "4163 just matches the cry of the chicken in English 'cock-a-doodle-doo', 33 is the dog barking 'bo', and 6 is the mouse crying 'squeak', among the three animals, the chicken is the small animal that the two of them studied at the time of the Didan Elementary School, the dog is the big dog that loves to bark when the two first met, and the mouse refers to the golden rat of the doctor's friend's house." β
"It's really all corresponding! But ......," Kudo Yukiko frowned, "what kind of animal does 0 represent?" β
"Fool, there is no such thing as an animal cry that can be described without letters." Yusaku Kudo reminded, "0 is the most important reminder. β
"The most important tip?" Yukiko frowned, "If there is no animal cry of 0, it means that there is no such animal?" No such animal means ......"
"Refers to the last hint that the location is not kept with any small animals." Kudo Yusaku looked at his wife and couldn't think of the result for a long time, but after all, he couldn't bear it, and said directly to answer.
"There are no small animals, and it has something to do with the memories of Dr. Asasa and Miss Kinoshita...... It's Kinoshita-sama's home! Kudo Yukiko's eyes lit up,
"Miss Kinoshita was once bitten by her own dog, and she hasn't kept any small animals in her house since! Wait a minute...... To put it this way...... The first three tips are also describing a certain location? β
Yukiko Kudo felt as if she had become a detective, and her brain was clearer than ever.
"4163 refers to Teidan Elementary School, 33 refers to the house where the big dog was encountered, 6 refers to Dr. Asasa's friend's house, and 0 is Miss Kinoshita's house...... School, Noi Wai, Butterfly Field, Kinoshita Family...... School, Noi, Butterfly, Kinoshita...... I understand! β
Yukiko Kudo suddenly leaned in front of her husband with an excited face, "Just read these four locations together in Japanese...... Under the ginkgo tree at school! β
"The place where Dr. Asasa and Ms. Kinoshita reminisce is under the ginkgo tree at Teidan Elementary School!"
βbingoοΌ Youxiko's reasoning ability is really getting stronger and stronger, I see, Shinichi's kid may not be as good as you! β
The just right compliment soon won his wife's smug and loving gaze, and Kudo Yusaku smiled proudly - he was really still the dashing young man who could easily win the popular actress back then.
Coaxing his wife, who was too much of a detective, to go back to the house, Yusaku Kudo couldn't help but glance at the corner at the end of the street before closing the door.
"How the hell did you find out who Miss Kinoshita was?"
β¦
β¦
At the gas station next to the Didan Elementary School, two people who had already visited all the places the Doctor had visited as a child were refueling the Doctor's Beetle.
Mu Yuan glanced at Dr. Asasa with a depressed face, so he had to take out the postcard again, and thought for a while: "Doctor, the prompt under this string of numbers says that these numbers are all related to animals?" β
"There are so many kinds of animals in the world, how can these numbers be ...... alone"
"No, Doctor, you were only in elementary school at the time, and I don't think it's possible for Kinoshita-sama to deliberately embarrass you with some animals that you haven't seen before, these numbers imply that you must all know or have seen animals together."
"The animals we've seen together ......," Dr. Asa pondered.
5 minutes, 10 minutes...... Half an hour passed quickly, and Dr. Asa finally spoke again while Mu Yuan waited patiently:
"Ahh......h My calves seem to be cramping! β
ββ¦β¦β
Mu Yuan looked up at the sunset that was about to set, took out his mobile phone expressionlessly, turned around and walked to the toilet of the gas station.
β¦
"Lady Wei Meisi, I remember that your good friend, Miss Chris Wynyard, seems to be good friends with Miss Fusahui, right?"
In the alley outside the Maori detective office, Mu Yuan's voice came from the earpiece.
Ms. Wei Meisi, who was holding the mobile phone on her shoulder, was slightly stunned and wondered: "That's true, is there something wrong?" β
On the phone, Mu Yuan said calmly: "That's the case, I want to ask her to ask Miss Fusahui a question, 'What should I do if I want to use numbers to make puzzles and imply dogs?'" ββ
"Implying a dog with numbers?" Ms. Wei Meisi frowned, suddenly thought of something, and said with a light in her eyes, "Xiaolan, does she like dogs?" β
In the toilet of the gas station, Mu Yuan tilted his head, recalled the interaction between Mao Lilan and Xiao Huang, and affirmed: "I like it very much." β
βοΌοΌοΌβ Ms. Wei Meisi's eyes widened in surprise.
Who is Fusa, who is a fashion master who has mastered almost all women's aesthetics, and the puzzles she came up with, and a cute puppy as a gift......
This kid will use such a high-level way to please girls?
The opening was too sudden, right?
She...... Very satisfied!!
"I understand, leave this matter to me!" Hardly hesitating, Ms. Wei Meisi replied quickly, and then hung up.
Smack!
Mu Yuan looked at the phone screen that had been extinguished, and blinked his eyes in confusion.
β¦
After a while, Mu Yuan returned to the co-pilot of the Beetle and suddenly said:
"Doctor, how do you describe a dog's barking in English?"
"Huh?" Dr. Asa was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "It should be 'bo', right?" β
"So, it's just 3 bars and 3 letters."
"yes...... Well? β
Dr. Asa was slightly stunned and quickly pulled out the postcard in his arms.
"If 33 is a description of a dog's barking...... I understand!!! β
