Chapter 1068 The Late Puzzle
Dr. Ali and the children were accommodated in the Bursworth Hotel opposite the Natural History Museum.
He was about to fly back to China in the afternoon, so Dr. Ali spent his own money to treat the children to a local South African meal in the hotel.
There is a 180° panoramic floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the hotel. The children rushed to the window excitedly as soon as they entered the door.
"It's great. Looking down from a high place, this city is really beautiful!"
"Hey, look, is that the place where we had dinner last time?"
"South Africa is really interesting. It would be great if I could stay a few more days..."
Hui Yuan Ai walked slowly to Bumi's side and said softly: "The police haven't caught the gangster who kidnapped you yet. It's too dangerous to stay here."
Dr. Ali quickly agreed: "Yes, Japan and South Africa are so far away. As long as we return to China, we no longer have to worry."
After listening to the doctor's words, Haiyuan Ai gave him a faint look. This look immediately made Dr. A Li feel guilty.
Fortunately, the children's attention was easily diverted, and Ayumi quickly changed the topic: "Doctor, doctor, where are Asano and Amuro? Oh, yes, and Conan. I saw them outside the villa that day. .”
"They should be here soon. We will have lunch together today and take the same flight back to China in the afternoon." Dr. Ali said with a smile, "But before that, have you forgotten something?"
The three little ones were very confused: "What?"
"Guess the riddle." Hui Yuan Ai reminded him softly.
Yuantai's face immediately fell: "Huh? We have to guess riddles today too! Doctor, you cheated. It was just a coincidence that I met you this time in South Africa!"
Dr. A Li smiled so hard that he almost couldn't see his eyes: "Don't be so anxious. It's just a very simple puzzle. When I was a child, all the children knew the answer. Ahem, then I have to say, the more you look at it, the more you can't see it. What is the thing?”
Although the children all looked reluctant, they still started to think obediently in the face of Dr. Ali who was very interested.
Before they could come up with a somewhat reliable answer, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.
The top-floor restaurant in Bosworth is very large, but today it has been reserved by Fang Gurei. When the children turned around, they could see the two figures approaching side by side.
"Brother Asano!" Ayumi was the first to greet Nobushige, but Haibara Ai was still leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, just watching him quietly.
"Good afternoon, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta and Dr. Agasa." Nobushige raised his unbandaged hand and his eyes fell on Haibara Ai at the back, "And Xiao Ai."
Mitsuhiko's sharp eyes immediately saw Nobushige's hand hanging down: "Brother Asano, you are injured! Is it serious?"
Rei Fukutani looked at the children who quickly gathered around Jingguang because of Mitsuhiko's words, and said helplessly: "He's fine, it's just a skin injury. It will heal in a few days. Conan is more serious."
Only then did the children notice the little one who came in right after Nobushige and Tohru Amuro.
Conan's appearance is indeed a bit miserable. Perhaps the doctor treated every wound carefully because he was still a child. This has resulted in Conan now wearing a bandage on his head, an OK bandage on his face, and a bandage on his arms. He was wearing a plaster cast, and the gauze on his waist was still exposed from the hem of his shirt. Even if I tell others that this kid just came off the battlefield in Iraq, some people will believe him.
In front of the children, neither Nobutano, Rei Fukiya nor Dr. Agasa mentioned what happened before, as if Conan and the others were kidnapped by gangsters while traveling and Dr. Agasa happened to appear there.
"Ayumi." Haihara Ai took out a rabbit-shaped hairpin, "This should be your thing, right?"
"Ah, I just asked why it disappeared." Ayumi took the hairpin and smiled happily, "Thank you, Xiao Ai!"
Hui Yuan Ai looked at the girl's bright smile and sighed silently in his heart.
She found that she seemed to like the simple way of getting along with the children...
…
After the meal, Nobushige and his party rushed to the airport and took the flight arranged by Rei Furitani in advance to fly to Tokyo, Japan.
The return flight was in a 3, 4, 3 layout, with Haibara Ai sitting by the window, Fukiya Rei sitting by the aisle, and Nobuhiro sitting between them.
"Sir, would you like something to drink?" The flight attendant began to distribute food and drinks as usual.
Fukutani Rei glanced at Nobutano and saw that he didn't express anything, so he said to the flight attendant: "Just water, thank you."
The flight attendant poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Fangtani Rei. Fangtani Rei put the cup on the small table in front of Nobushige. The movements were natural, as if they had always been best friends and there had never been any barriers.
However, Nobushige picked up the water glass and handed it to Haibara Ai next to him, and told her: "Don't read the literature on the plane, drink some water and sleep."
Jianggu Ling: "..."
He felt that Jingguang did it on purpose.
"I want a cup of coffee." Nobuhiro said to the flight attendant, then he remembered that there was another person, "Amuro-kun, what do you want to drink?"
"No, I'm not thirsty yet."
Fangtani Rei sat in his seat with a calm expression, waiting quietly for the flight attendant to leave.
After making sure that no one around could hear them, Jiang Guling lowered his voice and asked helplessly: "Jing, are you angry?"
Nobufan turned around, confused: "What? Why should I be angry?"
"I know that secretly collecting your information and conducting investigations without authorization have a great impact on your work, but you should occasionally think from my perspective." Rei Fukitani sighed quietly, "Your identity is like a stuck in my throat. , that incident four years ago has made me feel guilty all the time. I hope you can live well more than anyone else, but more than anyone else, I can’t believe you are still alive.”
Nobuhiro's eyes darkened slightly.
"How many people know your identity now?" Fangtani Rei asked.
"Not much. Only the officer who has a single line of contact with me at the police station knows about it. Even if other officers know about it, they probably don't have access to my current identity. Hongshu has special channels to know about this. Xiao Ai probably knows a little bit. The other thing is..." Thinking of the man far away in Nagano County, Nobuhiro's expression softened a lot, "My brother already knows."
Feng Guling swore that the remaining trace of guilt in his heart about exposing Officer Zhufu's identity was gone!
He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I've known you for so long, but am I the last one to recognize you?"
"What's so strange about this?" Xin Fan smiled, "The person I least want to know is you. I'd rather tell you the good news when everything is settled."
Fang Guling slowly clenched his fists.
The letter is confusing.
Fang Guling raised his fist.
Nobushige: "Wait a minute! Feng Guling, don't be impulsive, listen to my explanation!!"
