Chapter 204



The nurse was very attentive. Perhaps because she was new, she was not sure of all the patient's needs, so she would rather prepare more than miss any medical tool.

Not to mention that the hospital directly transferred her to Jinpei Matsuda's side. Therefore, most of her attention is now on this "medical miracle".

Although his face was basically disfigured due to burns and he was usually unable to move and looked very bored, surprisingly, this gentleman's eyes were always very bright.

Even though his face couldn't be seen clearly and he couldn't move, he still looked very handsome. Nurse Ogawa had never seen this gentleman look so... well, surprised?

Nurse Ogawa couldn't help but ask softly: "Sir? Excuse me..."

The nurse thought about how she should ask the question. She was facing a patient who could not speak, so she only needed to ask the patient to answer yes or no.

"Excuse me, is there any accident?" Nurse Ogawa asked tentatively.

Matsuda Jinpei blinked his eyes, which meant "yes".

Nurse Ogawa thought about the situation for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Did you hear something?"

After Matsuda Jinpei expressed his affirmativeness, Nurse Ogawa's eyes lit up: "Is this someone you know? Did he just pass by? Are you sure?"

"Do you need me to help you call the other person?" Nurse Ogawa said, "Even if he is not someone you know, Mr. Maori is a famous detective. He will definitely help you find your relatives--"

But after saying this, Nurse Ogawa suddenly remembered that this gentleman was not amnesiac, nor was he unfamiliar with his relatives and friends. He just refused this request at the beginning.

Matsuda Jinpei also snapped back to his senses. If it was Mori, it was probably the genius senior the instructor had mentioned before—the kid called him "Amuro" instead of "Furuya", and combined with the brilliant resume of this blond bastard who disappeared after graduation...

Either it's not the real person, or it's a pseudonym.

Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but lower his eyes and sighed in his heart. It's better not to contact him. He himself hasn't figured out his own problem, let alone others who might find out Furuya's true identity through investigating him.

He is now a "vegetable" who is completely unable to protect himself and cannot move.

Matsuda Jinpei gave up the idea of ​​asking Nurse Ogawa to contact Furuya Rei. Nurse Ogawa was a little hesitant, but finally accepted the patient's choice and said helplessly: "...Okay, sir."

At the same time, Conan Edogawa noticed that Toru Amuro turned his head back, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong, Mr. Amuro?"

“…No, nothing.” Amuro Toru replied.

the other side.

It was impossible for Gin to stay in the empty apartment all the time. Apart from other things, the surveillance in the room alone made Gin very uncomfortable.

Zhu Fu Kongliang didn't mind meeting his brother openly the next day, not to mention that he had made an appointment the day before.

At the very beginning, Zhufu Kongliang had received a vaccination. Bailandide disguised himself as Zhufu Kongliang. Because his disguise was excellent enough and he had a very good relationship with Zhufu Kongliang's relatives, wasn't it normal?

Even if Gin knew that Morofuku Sora was equal to Bylandide, since he had not shown anything for such a long time, it was impossible for him to suddenly and inexplicably deal with Brother Gao Ming next.

Zhu Fu Kongliang was still very relieved.

Is it a kind of tacit understanding of action?

We went to an amusement park the day before. Where should adults go for a date? Morofu Sora had no experience of this.

Apart from the izakaya for socializing, he would not drag his brother to the bar, nor the shooting club... Movie theaters and the like are for couples to go on dates, right?

Zhufu Kongliang did go out to play often, but when the person he was accompanied by became his brother, it seemed that everything became strange wherever he went.

Zhu Fu Kongliang thought about it and simply chose to give up.

Anyway, leave it to my brother!

Then, Zhufu Kongliang was taken by his brother to a cat cafe whose decoration seemed completely inconsistent with Zhufu Gaoming's aura.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang looked at the cat paw sign at the entrance of the cat cafe, blinked his beautiful blue cat eyes, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, are you sure? Not going to Chinatown or something?"

"I remember you have no interest in those." Zhu Fu Gaoming said with a smile.

"That's true." Zhu Fu Kongliang said casually, "But if you're accompanying your brother, I don't mind."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming responded: "No need to do that."

The reason why I thought of cat cafes is that I have learned how today's teenagers and working people relieve stress. Among them, cat cafes account for a relatively high proportion. I remember that my younger brother doesn't dislike small animals.

Since you've already taken the day off, why not go somewhere more relaxing to play?

But after entering the door, Zhu Fu Gao Ming regretted it.

Because after Zhu Fu Kong Liang stepped into the room, a silver-white cat that was lying originally at the door suddenly ran away from them with its fur standing on end.

Zhu Fukongliang: "..."

The shop owner, who had to take care of the cat and entertain customers at the same time, froze in her smile and tried to explain, "Maybe the noise of me opening the door scared it."

Zhu Fukongliang smiled: "It's okay."

From the shop owner's worried and strange look, Zhu Fu Kong Liang easily understood that this cat was definitely not like this usually.

However, the cat's angry look naturally reminded Zhu Fukongliang of a person - Haibara Ai. The cat that ran away now looked very similar to Haibara Ai that he usually saw... So it should be related to what happened last night? Did he not control his aura?

Zhufu Kongliang tried hard to make his aura gentle and calm, then he quickly grabbed a chubby orange cat that didn't have time to run away, slightly blocking the owner's view, and looked like a very normal customer.

It seemed as if the cat's startled reaction at the door was just a coincidence.

The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and just thought it was an accident.

However, Zhu Fu Gao Ming saw it clearly and fell into a subtle silence.

When did his brother realize that cats hate cats? That orange cat looks like he's about to cry.

Although he didn't know much about this, Zhu Fu Gaoming, who knew the basics, said, "...Kong Liang, you should let it go."

It feels like this cat is getting stressed.

After hearing what his brother said, Zhu Fu Kong Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of his hand obediently, letting the orange cat in his arms jump two meters high and run away.

In response, Zhu Fukongliang curled his lips downward, his upturned cat eyes tinged with unhappiness, and he complained, "I have never been so disliked by anyone!"

Zhu Fu Gao Ming couldn't help but want to laugh. Seeing his brother's childish behavior, he comforted him, "You are too anxious, Kong Liang."

At this moment, the shop owner handed over two menus, which, in addition to coffee and cake, also offered some cat cans and cat strips of varying prices.

Zhu Fu Kongliang immediately ordered the most expensive set meal. Then he opened the can and fanned it with his hand.

The cats who were originally on high alert suddenly turned green. The orange cat, who was originally the fastest, was the first to run back after seeing Zhufu Kongliang tear open the cat strips, and frantically grabbed at the clothes of Zhufu Kongliang, who had already restrained his aura.

Zhufu Kongliang moved the cat noodle slightly in front of the orange cat, and just when the orange cat was about to taste it, he lifted it up. As if he was treating the cat noodle as a cat toy, Zhufu Kongliang used his agility to prevent the orange cat from taking a bite.

After playing for two minutes, a black cat suddenly jumped over here, scratched the minced meat hanging on the edge of the cat strip with its claws, and the sticky minced meat was scraped off by the black cat and fell to the ground! Then the black cat jumped again and went straight into Zhu Fu Gao Ming's arms!

Zhufu Gaoming was a little surprised and paused, but soon he tentatively touched the black cat, and the little black cat did not refuse. At this time, the orange cat ignored Zhufu Kongliang and began to lick the minced meat on the ground.

Zhu Fukongliang: "!!"

At this time, the other cats who had been observing this side seemed to be sure that there was no danger, and they all ran over here.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang immediately raised the cans on the table to prevent these opportunistic cats from eating them.

Today is a weekday, so there are not too many customers at this time. So the shopkeeper's eyes are mostly directed here. Looking at this handsome guy who looks good but acts so childishly and quarrels with cats, the shopkeeper covered her mouth and laughed softly, and felt relieved.

It seems that what happened when I first entered the door was really just an accident.

During this trip, all the young men were neat and tidy when they came in, but when they came out, Zhu Fu Gaoming looked no different, while Zhu Fu Kongliang was covered in cat hair.

Zhu Fu Gao Ming couldn't help laughing and asked, "Did you have fun?"

"I'm very unhappy." Zhu Fukongliang narrowed his eyes slightly, turned down the corners of his mouth, and said, "Don't think I didn't see you secretly feeding the cat! Brother Gao Ming, you didn't even help me just now!"

Zhu Fu Gao Ming smiled and said, "Then I'll help you next time."

"…Why does it sound so strange?" Zhufu Kongliang ignored the question and complained, "They said cat cafes are for relaxing and reducing stress. Why do I feel like I'm even more stressed?"

Zhu Fu Gao Ming said gently: "I was inconsiderate."

"I will definitely win next time!" Zhu Fu Kongliang muttered to himself, then he noticed that the sky was getting dark and asked, "Brother Gao Ming, did you buy today's ticket? What time is it? I'll take you to the station."

After dealing with everything, Zhufu Kongliang returned to the apartment and checked whether there were any extra surveillance cameras in the room. Zhufu Kongliang didn't mind having surveillance cameras around him, but this was only if they were installed by his younger brother. Forget about other people's surveillance cameras.

The radiator in the box still has its scattered parts placed in the box. It’s not that I can’t understand the instructions, it’s just too troublesome.

Moroku Sora thought about it and decided to call a certain "delivery man" just like he called Kusuo a Yume.

Before calling out, Zhu Fukongliang took a quick glance around the room. Except for the mess in the kitchen, the bloodstains everywhere else had been almost cleaned up.

Morofu Sora sent a text message to Hagiwara Kenji: [I need an installer.]

I didn't get to chat with my brother yesterday because of Gin. He is free today, so maybe Jingguang brother is free too, right?

Hagiwara Kenji looked at the text message and called out to Morobushi Keimitsu, who popped his head out of the kitchen and said, "I understand."

"Actually, if it's for storing things, I can do it too." Kenji Hagiwara muttered while lying on the sofa.

Unfortunately, this was a conversation between brothers and he had no way to join in. Hagiwara Kenji maintained his current position for a while before he relaxed and lay down on the sofa.

I hope these two brothers can have a good talk, he thought.

Hagiwara Kenji remembered clearly that when he mentioned his brother in the police academy, the expression on Morobushi Kagemitsu's face was always gentle. But now, Morobushi Kagemitsu's emotions were too restrained, and he often couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

There is something called the beautifying filter of memory, and there is also a saying that distance creates beauty.

Although the exact time is unclear, it is obvious that Zhufu Kongliang and Zhufu Jingguang have not seen each other for a long time. The first moment he woke up, Zhufu Jingguang was thrown to him.

Hagiwara Kenji can feel that Morofushi Keimitsu is different from the past, and different from the high-spirited police academy student in his memory. He is not sure whether the current Keimitsu is still the brother in Sora's past memory. He is also not sure whether Sora's growth when Keimitsu was not paying attention to him is acceptable to Morofushi Keimitsu.

I have a bad feeling about this. However, this thought was also hidden by Kenji Hagiwara.

Morobushi Kagemitsu simply disguised himself. Thanks to the low temperature, people on the street would not attract much attention even if they wrapped themselves up like a ball. Morobushi Kagemitsu covered half of his face with a scarf and pulled down the brim of his hat a little. His simple outfit would not attract attention.

He had been to Zhu Fu's empty apartment once before, and this time the visit went smoothly. Unlike yesterday, this time the doorbell only rang twice before the door was opened from the inside.

The young man in the room, wearing thin clothes, smiled and said, "Good evening~"

"Good evening." Zhu Fu Jingguang subconsciously noticed the position where he felt the surveillance, but said nothing. He just tried to relax his subconsciously tensed body.

The elder's blue eyes were filled with tenderness towards his family. It was not disguised nor concealed, but was revealed openly.

The two of them were facing each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Zhu Fu Kong Liang took the initiative to break the not awkward silence and walked inside on his own initiative, saying as he walked: "I'm better at dismantling, not assembling. So I asked you to help!"

Apart from the brief exchange yesterday, including the meeting at the time of the Bailey family tragedy, the two had not spoken face to face like this for five years.

But the two of them acted as if the five years of missed time had never happened, and Morobushi Jingguang naturally added: "Because I was planning to install it for you in the first place."

"You are not used to closing the windows, so the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is not big, and it is easy to catch a cold. This will make you feel better."

"Then I'll trouble you!" Zhu Fu Kongliang dragged out the express box and poured out all the parts in it.

During the assembly process, Zhu Fu Kong Liang kept talking about what happened today: "Brother Gao Ming took me to a cat cafe. So, this is actually my first time to go to this type of store?"

"Is it interesting?" Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his head slightly.

"...Well, a good place for boosting pressure." Zhu Fu Kong Liang poked the iron sheet and continued, "Those guys wanted to eat my cans without paying the price, and they didn't even let me touch them!"

"I lifted the can high, and a cat jumped onto my head!" At this point, Zhu Fu Kong Liang narrowed his eyes, quite dissatisfied: "Brother Gao Ming not only didn't help me, but also laughed at me!"

Perhaps imagining such a scene, Morobushi Kagemitsu paused for a moment, shifted his gaze a little, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhufu Kongliang was unhappy: "Brother Jingguang——"

Being called out after seven years made Morofushi Jingguang stunned for a moment, as if he was unable to react.

As soon as his hand stopped screwing the screws, Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his eyes slightly and spoke in a gentle and calm voice: "Kong Liang, I want to talk to you."

Zhu Fukongliang tilted his head, the smile on his face never disappeared: "What's the matter?"

"You know my identity. I'm an undercover agent sent by the public security department." Zhu Fu Jingguang took the initiative to reveal the easily broken disguise barrier between the two people: "I also know your identity."

As the elder brother, Morobushi Kagemitsu recognized his younger brother at the first sight of Barantide. No matter what Morobushi Kagemitsu thought during those five years, it was not until now that he had the opportunity to speak out his next words to his younger brother.

"The organization is a very dangerous place, we all know this." The elder asked, "Are you willing to accept...recruitment, or become a tainted witness, etc.?"

The smile on Zhu Fu Kong Liang's face froze.

"You can continue to do what you want to do," Morobushi Jingguang tried to explain in the gentlest tone: "Although I have been confirmed dead in my resume, I can still perform certain operations. I can turn you into my partner in the public security intelligence work."

Morobushi Jingguang is not a child who sees things in black and white. The moment he becomes an undercover agent, his world changes from pure justice to gray.

His brother's position and identity made him feel powerless. He knew it was his fault, that he had not taken good care of his brother and had not noticed the past incompatibility. So he took it all as his responsibility and even wanted to protect his brother in his own way in this beach swamp.

Zhu Fukongliang's tone suddenly became much calmer: "That being said, Brother Jingguang, please tell me when did you start making this arrangement?"

"Did it start in the past few days? No, your file has been sealed, you have been confirmed dead, and all the contacts have been replaced. It is impossible for you to contact them now." Zhu Fu Kongliang said softly: "I haven't thought about this before, so, did it start five years ago? Or four years ago?"

The black-haired police officer chuckled and said, "You had already made this preparation four years ago. You didn't even ask me what I thought, but you kept this as a backup plan."

"You hid this backup plan and intelligence, and no one noticed it. Once the organization is destroyed, or if I am caught by the police, this preparation you made in advance can indeed protect me."

"It's just that you didn't expect that you would be exposed, so your back-up plan has not been discovered. Until now, you have returned, so you have taken back the information you hid in the past."

"You think so and do so, right?" Zhufu Kongliang met Zhufu Jingguang's eyes.

The more mature blue cat eyes were gentle and clean, just like the righteous police academy student in the past. But both of them knew that the blood on Morobushi Jingguang's hands was no less than those of the real criminals.

Morobushi Kagemitsu committed many sins that he had to commit, trying to save all those who would die in his hands, whether they failed or succeeded.

He had his own selfish motives, and it was also his last concession as a policeman. He wanted to protect his brother in his own way.

Zhu Fu Jingguang did nothing wrong. None of his thoughts and actions would harm Zhu Fu Kongliang. He even considered Zhu Fu Kongliang in every aspect.

However, Zhu Fu Kong Liang was still angry.

The black-haired police officer removed the earring on his right ear with one hand and turned off the surveillance in the room, which had never been turned off.

"Indeed, this is indeed the best way for me." Zhu Fukongliang said calmly, his blue cat eyes looking at the older man: "But, did you ask for my opinion? Four years ago, when you chose to arrange all this."

"You just did what you thought was best for me." Morobuchi Kongliang's voice became very soft, and his voice trembled slightly: "Morobuchi Jingguang, do you think you are the savior?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang froze.

"Do you know how many people I have killed?" the black-haired criminal asked in a declarative tone, "Do you know how old I was when I first wanted to kill someone?"

"Do you know how badly I wanted to point a gun at that guy when I was 13?"

"You all think I don't remember, and I don't want to show it - but I know who he is, and I even watched him follow you for so many years!"

"How good-tempered do you think I am?"

"I just can't do it! It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it. I have to endure it!"

"You told me it was for justice, for the law. I don't understand, but I accept it. Because you are my brother, I accept your choice—"

"That's why I attacked him where you couldn't see."

Zhu Fu Kongliang had never been so angry before. This sudden anger was mixed with grievances that even he himself could not explain.

Even when the Christmas relief that year was turned into an illusion and directly wiped out by the gods, he had never felt so sad when he started over again after being angry.

This period of time was too smooth, as if the past misunderstandings never existed, and Zhufu Kongliang almost forgot that the conflict between him and his brother was never just a past mistake. He should have been prepared for this when he exposed his identity in front of Furuya Ling and others.

This time there was no coincidence, no mistake, no misunderstanding, it was simply that their positions and ideas were in opposition from the beginning. Morobushi Jingguang made the biggest concession, and he had no way to retreat.

But Zhu Fu Kong Liang didn't want to retreat this time.

"You missed my 22 years, why are you making arrangements for me now?"
