Chapter 33



Obviously, he didn't want to think about it at all. Zhu Fukongliang kept smiling, but the negative emotions in his heart were slowly rising.

As mentioned before, even if he had hyperamnesia, Morofuku Sora, who witnessed his parents' death as an infant and memorized the scene, would not understand what it all meant.

I first became aware of my fear because of something that happened when I was three years old.

When the Zhufu couple got into trouble, Zhufu Kongliang was not even one year old and needed someone to look after him all the time.

This is different from adopting Gao Ming and Jing Guang who are already able to take care of themselves - if you already have children, in today's society, who would be willing to accept a baby who has no blood relationship with them, and take care of a child who can't even speak all day long?

When they are not working? When they are sitting at home all day?

Gao Ming and Jing Guang were easier to deal with, but Kong Liang, who was still a baby, was always rejected. No one was willing to accept him.

But both brothers were still alive, and no one suggested sending the child to an orphanage.

They didn't think that Zhu Fu Kong Liang would understand everything they said, and he never avoided the baby and said things that he didn't say to Gao Ming Jing Guang.

It's not vicious, it just describes how troublesome Zhu Fu Kong Liang is.

Zhu Fu Kongliang really didn't understand it at that time, but he remembered it.

So when he grew up and could speak, he understood.

But after all, they were all relatives, and they couldn't just sit there and watch Kong Liang do nothing, saying things that were annoying, so they finally chose to accept it.

When Zhufu Kongliang met Fujino Yuichi, he was already two years old.

"Then... I'll leave Kong Liang to you. Sorry, I'm really too busy these days... I don't have time to take care of him. But don't worry, Yuichi, Kong Liang is a very well-behaved child, so it won't be too much trouble."

Fujino Yuichi said with a bright and honest smile: "When I opened the hot spring shop before, I also troubled you a lot. They are all relatives. I have watched Gao Ming and the others grow up. Don't worry, I will take good care of Kong Liang!"

"It just so happens that when I'm busy, Kongliang can still keep Kento company." Fujino Yuichi patted the pouting little boy who was only about 7 years old and only as tall as his waist: "Say hello, you two are brothers from now on."

"Come here, Kongliang, this is your brother Kento." Fujino Yuichi's smile is very approachable.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang was attracted by one of the words. He asked in confusion: "...Brother?"

After receiving the response, Fujino Yuichi tried to make his smile gentle and said, "Yes, you should call me uncle too. You and Kento should get along well in the future! Kento, you too!"

The latter sentence seemed a bit fierce, so Fujino Kento turned his head away, snorted, and did not respond.

Fujino Yuichi was a good man, and he promised to take good care of Kongliang, and he really did so. He bought Kongliang new bedding, clothes, and even specially decorated a new room for Kongliang.

Kento Fujino's wife died after giving birth, leaving him alone to raise his child and not planning to remarry. So there were only three of them at home, and he often asked his son to chat with Sora Ryo and play with him.

——However, there is a difference between your own son and someone else’s son.

Because Kong Liang was essentially a guest, Fujino Yuichi always spoke softly and in the most gentle manner when talking to him. Even if Kong Liang made trouble, Fujino Yuichi never said anything more and always just smiled and let it go. He also never asked Kong Liang to help him do things within his ability.

But on the contrary, Fujino Yuichi would ask his son to do the same thing as a matter of course. If his son got into trouble, he would immediately frown and start to educate him.

Because Kento Fujino is his child.

Without his wife to take care of him, Fujino Yuichi did not realize the problems caused by his attitude difference, nor did he pay attention to his son's increasingly depressed mood.

The rules between adults are not suitable for children. For Kento Fujino, who was only 7 years old, it was like someone suddenly came to his house and took away his only father.

Dad was still very gentle to this outsider, but he always yelled at me to do my work - there was no place for him in this family.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang has been able to read the atmosphere since he was a child, so he tries hard to reduce his presence. He knows it is his own fault and never complains about anything.

He always remembered what Fujino Yuichi said. Fujino Yuichi said that Fujino Kento would be his elder brother. They would become brothers.

Zhu Fu Kongliang seldom saw his brother, except when he was a baby. His brother Gao Ming had come to see him a few times, but he always left in a hurry.

Because Kong Liang was entrusted to someone else's care, if Gao Ming visited him often, it would only cause more trouble to others.

However, Jingguang was sent to Tokyo and rarely appeared in front of Kongliang.

The problems we had when we were young actually become very clear to us when we grow up and change our perspective. But for children, they really don’t understand anything. If they like something, they like it, and if they dislike something, they dislike it.

In Kong Liang's eyes, his brother rarely came to see him. He couldn't help but wonder if his brother didn't like him.

Therefore, the appearance of the so-called "brother" at this time really filled Kong Liang's heart with expectations and longings for a brother.

But... Kento Fujino is not as gentle as his father.

Morobuchi Sora unilaterally placed the expectation of being an elder brother on Fujino Kento, so when Fujino Kento invited him to play hide-and-seek one day, Morobuchi Sora agreed without any precautions.

He even simply thought that "brother" was finally willing to play with me.

It's not that no problems were discovered during the process, but Zhu Fu Kongliang selectively ignored them.

Kento Fujino took him to a warehouse in the forest and said to him, "You just hide here and don't come out. This is an abandoned warehouse and your father will never find you. Then you win."

Zhu Fu Kongliang vaguely sensed the problem.

But when he saw that Fujino Kento was about to show impatience, and remembering what his relatives said when he was a baby and the distance that the foster families showed towards him, he did not dare to refuse.

He didn't want to be hated and left out anymore.

So Zhu Fu Kongliang pursed his lips and walked in.

Then, the door was locked.

It is easy to imagine what happened next. Zhu Fu Kong Liang was locked up in this abandoned warehouse for a day and a night. The all-too-familiar darkness reminded him of the scene he saw when he was a baby.

But now Zhufu Kongliang has understood what that means. He understands that he is a child without parents. He also understands that...his two brothers may think that he is a trouble, so they don't come to see him.

[“Even if Kong Liang is crying, you absolutely, absolutely cannot come out!”]

His mother hid him in a cloth box filled with clothes, perhaps because she was worried that he would make noises, so she used the clothes around him as a buffer to make his movements as subtle as possible. She was also worried that he wouldn't be able to breathe, so she left a gap for Zhu Kongliang to sneak out.

It was because of this gap that the ignorant baby witnessed everything with his own eyes, and when the baby felt uncomfortable, he reached out his hands and inadvertently closed the gap with his own hands.

The darkness protected him, yet separated him from the life and death of his parents.

The unforgettable memories replayed again and again, as clear as if they had just happened yesterday. The sharp knife dripped blood, the bodies of my parents fell, and the red sticky liquid flowed all over the ground.

The prisoner, whose face could not be seen, was humming something in a strange melody, but the cushioning of his clothes made the words blurred, making it even more eerie because it was not clear.

Repeating again and again, reminding the hidden light again and again in the darkness.

What happened afterwards, Morofuku Sora didn't know, because he had already fallen into a semi-coma. When he opened his eyes again in the hospital, he saw the newlywed couple, the gentle but worried expressions of the Saiki couple.

It is said that Fujino Yuichi looked for him for a day and a night, and did not sleep the whole night. When he saw that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Fujino is a good man, but this "brother Kento" has not changed at all. However, Morofuku Soryo is also glad that it was not Kento Fujino who died this time - after all, if something happened to him, Uncle Fujino would be sad.

That being said, if something really happened to Fujino Kento, Morofuku Sora would not choose to help him.

Given Morobuchi's understanding of Fujino Kento, even if he felt guilty at the time or was afraid that Morobuchi would reveal the truth, it is impossible for him to still remember it 19 years later.

It is impossible to say "I knew you would do this!" It is like I have been memorizing Zhu Fu Kong Liang for almost twenty years.

You have to know that due to the care of Uncle Fujino, Zhu Fukongliang did not even expose Fujino Kento at that time, and just said that he accidentally entered.

unless……

Toru Amuro and his men came up and pulled the two apart. Morofuku Sora straightened the collar of a Fujino Kento that had become messy and loose: "Sorry, the most important thing now is to find that Miss Kuraki."

"If she's not in the hotel, she might have gone outside." After Zhu Fukongliang had dealt with all the previous issues, he said, "Please call the police first. I'll go look outside."

Asking Kogoro Mori to control the situation, Morobuchi Sora asked the hot spring owner, who obviously wanted to say something, to borrow a flashlight, changed his clothes and went out.

When they walked outside and were blown by the cold night wind, Zhufu Kongliang curled the corners of his mouth, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Saiki Kongsuke.

Morobuchi Sora: [Are you still Kusuo? ]

Saiki Sosuke: [:)]

Zhu Fu Kong Liang: [It seems that you did it together. When? I have never heard of it. ]

Saiki Sosuke: [After I found out that my brother was afraid of the dark, I became a little concerned.]

Saiki Kosuke: [I told you before, no one can hurt my brother in front of me and Kusuo.]

Saiki Sosuke: [But it seems that the lesson at that time was obviously not enough. 】

Zhu Fu Kongliang decisively interrupted: [No, I can handle it myself this time.]

Just right... I can add a little drama to myself. Zhu Fu Kongliang touched the earring on his ear, and a small plan formed in his mind.

As long as Kento Fujino is not the murderer - if that guy is really the murderer, then he can only send his "distant brother" to prison with tears in his eyes for the sake of justice.

Zhufu Kongliang held a flashlight and looked at Amuro Toru who had rushed over. The blond Poirot waiter said gently, "It's too late now. Let Kongliang and I go look for it together."

Zhufu Kongliang narrowed his eyes and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Amuro."
