Chapter 20



When Zhufu Kongliang woke up, he felt just like the last time he caught a cold and was relieved by Kusuo's recollection of the day before.

The very conscious office worker took the mobile phone on the bedside table and saw that the time had jumped to 12 noon. He would be late for work now.

"...Have you asked for leave for me?" Zhu Fu Kong Liang sat on the bed with messy hair and asked his blond brother who had been leaning against the door at some point.

"Of course." Saiki Kosuke gave a positive answer, his tone relaxed and happy: "How did you sleep, brother?"

"Not bad." At this time, Zhu Fu Kong Liang noticed a cat-shaped machine on the bedside table that released water mist like a humidifier: "What is this?"

Saiki Sosuke: "It's just an ordinary humidifier, but I added some sleep-inducing substances that are harmless to the human body."

Zhufu Kongliang yawned and responded meaninglessly. In front of his family, Zhufu Kongliang never needed to put on any image - of course, no matter how sloppy he was, he was definitely much better than his father.

Watching his brother walking towards the bathroom with a pair of misty blue eyes, Saiki Sousuke turned around and went to the living room.

After Zhu Fu Kongliang finished taking care of everything and was fully awake, he saw from his seat in the living room that his younger brother was fiddling with something in the kitchen.

Since he was a child, Kongsuke has a strong ability to do things. As long as he wants, he can do anything. His mind is always filled with countless wonderful ideas.

But his ideas are often too early for this era. Kongsuke is a genius across generations. Zhufu Kongliang thinks that as long as his brother wants, the time-space machine can be built in a short time.

If Morofuku Sora had read the manga "Sai" he would have discovered that his brother had even directly caused a world-class disaster because of this.

Unfortunately, Zhu Fu Kong Liang did not pay direct attention to the comics next door, so naturally he did not know this.

Morofu Kongliang had no interest in the kitchen. After Saiki Kongzhu came out, he did not see any food in his brother's hands, nor did he smell any fragrance during the process. Morofu Kongliang basically knew what his brother had done during the process.

As expected, Saiki Kosuke said, "I helped my brother renovate the kitchen. Now all the tools are fully automatic. My brother only needs to prepare the ingredients."

Perhaps it was because Zhufu Kongliang was too clearly a kitchen novice in his eyes, and Saiki Kongzhu thought for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly: "After the ingredients are crispy, I will also airlift them here, okay?"

"...No, I can still do things like buying groceries." After saying this, Zhufu Kongliang paused, as if he had just realized something, his eyes slightly widened, and he said in surprise: "Kongzhu, you have grown taller."

"Brother, your ability to change the subject is still so bad." Saiki Sosuke said cheerfully, "You obviously noticed it last night. Besides, we haven't seen each other for four years. I'm not Kusuo. I can't control my height."

"You only came to my place four years ago." Zhu Fu Kong Liang measured the height and said with great admiration: "You are almost as tall as me now, right?"

"I have to be one centimeter taller than my brother!" Saiki Sorasuke said this with a happy tone.

During the physical examination when he graduated from the police academy, Morobuchi Sora's height was 178cm. The height of men does not change much after adulthood, which means that Saiki Sora is only one centimeter away from breaking the 180cm mark. Since Saiki Sora is only 18 years old now, it is not certain whether he will grow taller in the future.

"Mmmm~ Very good, very good." Zhu Fu Kong Liang clapped his hands sincerely.

The two brothers had already talked about everything they needed to discuss last night. It wasn't a critical moment to send their younger brother to kindergarten, so Zhu Fu Kong Liang also waved and said goodbye very gently as his younger brother was leaving after renovating the house.

Then, ten minutes after Saiki Sousuke left, he suddenly saw Saiki Kusuo who had teleported over with a lunch box. Morofushi Sousuke then realized why Sousuke was in such a hurry to leave.

After all, Sorasuke said that he had a plan to compete with Kusuo. If everything was exposed through the inner voice after meeting Kusuo, the plan would have to be started again.

——Murofuku Sorao was not yet aware that his brother had made a telepathic blocker, not to mention that when he met Morifuku Sorao, Saiki Sorao was not wearing the blocker.

"Did that guy come to your place yesterday?" Hearing what was going on, Saiki Kusuo frowned slightly: "What does he want to do now?"

"Help me remodel the kitchen so that mom won't have to worry about it anymore." Morobuchi Sora replied with a smile, "Where's Kusuo? Why are you here again?"

"Mom said she dreamed that you were hungry." Saiki K. replied.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang: "...You are probably the only one in our family who has the ability to predict the future, right?"

'That's right.'

"Okay, I'm a little hungry. Thank you, Kusuo." Morofuku Sora shrugged, not thinking about whether he and his mother had telepathy or whether Sora reminded his mother.

In short, it's care from his family, and it's enough for him to accept it.

Saiki K. had classes to attend and was still in his school uniform. It was obvious that he had come here during his lunch break. After the CD time for instant movement was up, he left immediately.

But before he left, he left a message: 'If you have any questions, you can contact me directly.'

Zhufu Kongliang propped up his chin and looked at the place where his weird brother disappeared, his blue eyes like the sky were full of smiles.

"——Okay, I still have to take notes next." After finishing lunch, Morofu Sorao walked towards the kitchen with the lunch box in his hand, and saw the instruction manual left by Saiki Sorao on the table.

In addition to cooking, Saiki Sosuke even used the dishwasher. After putting the lunch box in the dishwasher according to the instructions, Morobuchi Sosuke walked out of the door in this state.

So even if I take a day off today, I still have to go to the police station... Then what's the point of taking a day off? I'll just waste a day of vacation.

Having said that, Zhu Fu Kongliang couldn't possibly blame his own brother, and could only walk to the police station with helplessness.

The only thing to be happy about was that he was going to take notes, not to make a work report. He just had to tell what he knew.

Many reports can actually be explained clearly in one sentence, but they are overloaded with a bunch of meaningless words to show how hard and positively they worked to complete the report. People who read the report have to extract only a few dozen words of information from a report of hundreds or thousands of words.

Really, don’t they mind the trouble?

With this meaningless thought in mind, Zhu Fu Kongliang made a phone call to make an appointment in advance and confirm the time for the meeting.

Although they belong to the same Metropolitan Police Department, they are not in the same department and so they rarely see each other.

Taking a statement was a tedious process. Zhu Fu Kongliang maintained a gentle smile, which made the police officer who was taking the statement feel embarrassed to drag it out for too long.

It took about half an hour in total before Zhu Fu Kongliang breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the room.

At this moment, he heard someone calling his name: "Zhu Fu, is this Officer Zhu Fu Kong Liang?"

It was a voice he had heard once before. Zhu Fu Kongliang turned around with some confusion, and saw a tall and thin young man in a suit who was about the same height as him.

After a quick look, Zhufu Kongliang immediately recognized the identity of the person in front of him, and the young man took the initiative to say his name: "Hello, I am Takagi Wataru from the Criminal Investigation Division 3 of the Office Investigation Division 1."

"Yes, I'm Zhufu Kongliang... What can I do for you?" Zhufu Kongliang blinked and felt that he should not have any communication with this police officer.

After confirming the identity of the black-haired young man in front of him, Takagi Shigeru was obviously relieved: "It's like this, Officer Morobushi, when we were sorting out our belongings, we found a package addressed to Mr. Morobushi in Nagano. I would like to ask, um, do you know any relevant information?"

It is very normal for people from different departments not to have met each other. However, it is like when a very outstanding transfer student comes to the school, who is good-looking and is often mentioned by female classmates in the class - it has nothing to do with whether they are in the same class or not. If they are mentioned so often, they will have some impression of this "transfer student".

The surname "Morobushi" is quite special. Because the package had been left for a year, the information on it became blurred, and only the surname "Morobushi" could be identified. Therefore, after confirming that Officer Morobushi's hometown was Nagano, and hearing that he had just arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department and had not left, Takagi Wataru naturally caught up with him.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang blinked his eyes. "If you don't mind, can you let me see what the package is?"

Takagi Wataru nodded: "Of course!"

Just like he couldn't control the information he leaked to Conan, under Morobuchi Sora's trickery, Takagi Wataru also told him all the information.

To put it simply, a police officer died in a car accident a year ago, but no one had cleaned out his locker. Recently, when the locker was cleaned out, a package was found in the locker, and inside the package was an envelope.

Because so much time has passed, the information on the envelope is difficult to discern.

…You’re talking about Date Kou. Morobushi Sora, who had analyzed the answer from Takagi Wataru’s mouth, sighed in his heart.

He had paid more or less attention to Keimitsu's classmates back then. Hagiwara was the first one he tried to rescue, but after he failed, it was Keimitsu's turn. Saving one person is the same as saving two. He thought that his brother would be sad about the death of his classmates after his "resurrection". Anyway, the forum system had a lot of space, so Morofu Soryo didn't mind giving a hand.

However, unlike Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who should have been "destroyed to pieces" because of the bomb, the "bodies" of his brother and Date Kou should be intact.

Therefore, it is relatively troublesome to provide relief.

In short, Kusuo is the eternal God! Even if he can't help directly, this kind of help that doesn't deviate from the plot is basically successful.

However, the officer Morobuchi sent to Nagano must be Gao Ming, right? If it was a package from a year ago, he hadn't changed back to Morobuchi's last name, and he wasn't in Nagano, so it couldn't be referring to him.

What would be the thing sent to Brother Gao Ming? Zhu Fu Kongliang had to admit that he was somewhat curious.

When Takagi Shigeru brought him to the room for gaining trust, there was a female police officer with short and neat hair inside.

The short-haired policewoman introduced herself: "I'm Sato Miwako. I'm sorry, my subordinates were rude just now."

Sato Miwako handed the package to Zhufu Kongliang and said, "Please check if it is addressed to you."

Zhufu Kongliang looked at it for a while and confirmed: "It is for Zhufu Gaoming in Nagano - it should be for my brother."

Both Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru were relieved that the recipient had been found.

Zhu Fukongliang raised his head and asked, "Then I will take it back?"

"Of course, I'll have to pass it on to your brother." Sato Miwako responded: "If I find the sender, I'll contact you."

"Excuse me."

Zhufu Kongliang left the police station holding the envelope. On his way back, he unexpectedly ran into Amuro Toru who was out shopping. The plainclothes police officer greeted him warmly, "Good afternoon, Mr. Amuro."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sora." Toru Amuro's face was also gentle like a Poirot waiter, and then his eyes were attracted by the thing that Sora was holding in one hand: "What is this...?"

"It was a letter to my brother, and it was left at the Metropolitan Police Department." Zhufu Kongliang answered with a defenseless smile, and then said with a little distress: "I don't know who sent the letter. He only wrote a '0' on the envelope."

After saying this, the black-haired police officer saw the blond waiter in front of him looking stunned. He couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "Mr. Amuro? What's wrong with you?"
