Zhu Fu Kongliang threw the sandwich in his hand into the refrigerator. It was already past the time when one would feel hungry, so he didn't really feel like eating dinner.

He took off his black suit and hung it on the hanger. However, as soon as he did this and glanced at the clothes he had taken off, Zhu Fu Kongliang's expression became more subtle.

"...black." Zhu Fu Kongliang muttered to himself.

As a police officer, you must wear formal clothes when you are on duty. There are not many choices of men's clothing. Basically, half of the formal clothes in Japanese men's wardrobes are black and gray. This is a very normal thing.

But this normal thing, in Conan, seems a little...

Especially wearing black in a plot like this that is related to the main plot——!

"Well, I roughly know what comments will be on the forum." Morobuchi Sora sighed. Fortunately, he spent nearly ten years reading "Detective Conan" countless times. He understood that although there were a lot of watered-down plots (meaning unrelated to the main storyline) in the comics, through those nearly a thousand episodes of comics, Morobuchi Sora could probably be considered a very serious scientist.

According to the author's habit, he will have to spend at least a few dozen chapters on daily life before being thrown into the main storyline of choosing one of three, and mixed in with various coincidences with the other two unknown people.

Even if he went to Conan right now and shouted "I am a bottle of wine", it would probably just be regarded as a joke.

"...So, Sonoko is really just a tool to promote the plot." Morofuku Sora took out the ticket that Mao Lilan gave him, lay on the sofa in the house he rented, and looked at the paper under the light.

The house he rented was a certain distance away from where he worked. It took about half an hour to get there every day, including taking the bus and walking.

With Kusuo's ability, he can definitely find the best housing environment at the cheapest price near the police station for Morobuchi Soryu. But if it is too close to the police station, Morobuchi Soryu will have no reason to run into Edogawa Conan and the others on the way home.

This is why Zhu Fu Kongliang deliberately chose to rent a house that was farther away.

The place he rented was in the wealthy area of ​​the region, similar to Ayumi Yoshida's home in the comics. There were usually security guards on the ground floor managing the building, which could provide maximum security and privacy.

In fact, the Saiki family has never been short of money. From a macro perspective, as long as Kusuo wants, all the money in the world can be his. Sorasuke can create some new and interesting gadgets from time to time. Without official funding, he would not be able to make so many machines.

Lian Zhufu Kongliang has never worried about money since he was a child, and the money in his account is enough to buy his younger brother Kusuo a lifetime of coffee jelly.

The one who was always short of money in the Saiki family was actually just Saiki's father.

Thinking about it this way, my father is really miserable. Zhu Fukongliang wiped the non-existent tears from his eyes and had a more intuitive understanding of his father's position in the family.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang lives on the fifth floor in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. As he has just moved in not too long ago, the room is quite empty. In addition, Zhu Fu Kong Liang does not usually cook, so the atmosphere of life in the room is quite dull.

The cool night wind blew in from the window that had never been closed. Zhu Fukongliang put away the ticket, lay down on the sofa with his eyes closed, crossed his legs, and fell asleep without turning off the lights.

——The room is too far away, and it’s not like people can’t sleep on the sofa! Zhu Fukongliang, who didn’t care about the environment, said so.

As a result, I bought two sandwiches and planned to have one of them for dinner, but this was postponed until the next day.

The shelf life of sandwiches is not long. After a day, the lettuce on top will start to wilt, the salad dressing will seep into the bread, and the outer layer of bread will become wet and taste worse. But if you ignore these and don't mind the taste, the sandwich can be kept for two or three days.

"I've got breakfast, I'll have lunch at the police station, and dinner will be this again - perfect!" After planning today's three meals, Zhu Fu Kong Liang changed into his suit briskly and started a new day of his office life.

This time, he deliberately wore a light gray formal suit and avoided the pure black suit.

It is October now, and the weather has turned cold. In this case, looking at the JKs with bare legs all over the streets, Morobu Sora couldn't help thinking that it seems that Japanese women have enough resistance to freezing, just like the policewomen who can run and chase criminals without obstacles in high heels, which makes people feel admiration in the incomprehensible situation.

Someone in the forum has calculated that based on Conan's timeline and the frequency of cases he encounters, Conan should be very busy every day.

But according to Morobuchi's intuition, Conan does not encounter cases or suspects every day. For example, before the aquarium plot begins, Morobuchi has not seen any news about cases related to Conan, and has spent two working days in peace again.

The time came to Sunday.

Because their relationship is not that familiar yet, unlike Amuro Toru, Morobuchi Sora was waiting for Conan and the others at the aquarium entrance.

It was not working hours, and Zhu Fu Kong Liang wore a velvet light blue sweatshirt that was very suitable for the current weather, and slightly loose dark jeans. His two gloves were in the pockets of the sweatshirt, looking quite casual.

Just like everyone in the police academy group except Date Kou has a baby face, Morobushi Sora Ryo, who inherited the excellent genes of the Morobushi family, looks like a high school student or a college student with this kind of attire - however, he is actually a recent graduate from college (police academy), so such an evaluation is not very abrupt.

It's incomparable to that 29-year-old with blond hair and dark skin who can still act like a high school student.

Zhufu Kongliang has sufficient self-awareness of his appearance and temperament. He is definitely not the type who will be ignored. At least there is no need to worry that Conan and the others will not be able to find him.

So when he heard the clear voice of the girl, Morofuku Sora turned sideways and gave his signature gentle smile to Suzuki Sonoko, who was clearly showing a look of surprise.

——Well, this image and angle are absolutely perfect, and it can definitely occupy a separate grid in the comics.

"Good morning." Zhu Fu Kongliang waved to everyone.

Amuro Toru, who was also invited, made a similar gesture and said with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Kong Liang, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"I just arrived too." Zhu Fu Kong Liang replied.

As the two were greeting each other, Suzuki Sonoko pulled Ran Mouri and screamed quietly, thinking that no one was noticing: "Ran! You actually got a date with such a handsome guy! Why didn't you tell me earlier - I was dressed too casually today! I should have worn that new dress earlier!"

Mao Lilan was somewhat helpless: "...Didn't I say that a long time ago?"

Suzuki Sonoko complained in an intimate tone: "No way! Your original words were clearly 'It should be OK' - is this what you mean by 'OK'?!"

Mao Lilan glanced worriedly at the two adult men who seemed not to notice the situation, and her face turned red unconsciously. She has always been a polite child. Even when talking to her best friend, it was difficult for her to describe someone's appearance in the same straightforward tone as she would with her good friend.

Therefore, I made such a comment at that time just to follow up on my friend's question.

"Sonoko! This is really rude—" This was the only way Mouri Ran could respond.

Conan Edogawa stood aside, with a pair of half-moon eyes, and glanced at the black-haired police officer who was chatting with Amuro Toru, but when Sonoko said this, he put his right fist to his mouth and coughed lightly. He complained in his heart: Sonoko, you are too loud! Mr. Kongliang obviously heard it!

Amuro Toru's eyes also flashed with a smile, and he whispered to Morobu Sora, "Mr. Maori was going to come too, but something suddenly happened, so he didn't come."

After all, it is always strange and misleading for a grown man to come to a special place like an aquarium with two high school girls, even if Conan is brought along.

Although Suzuki Sonoko obviously wouldn't care about this, and Amuro Toru initially intended to reject the invitation with this in mind, it was only after Morofuku Sora Ryo agreed that he hesitated for a moment before choosing to accept Mori Ran's invitation.

During the brief communication before, Toru Amuro immediately saw through that Morobu Sora's lifestyle was too casual, and he also had the idea of ​​helping Yu Ran and taking care of his younger brother.

Because Zhufu Kongliang and Scotland look so similar, it is very reasonable for him to approach him, whether out of his responsibility as a childhood friend or as an investigator of the organization.

Even if he was a public security officer, he couldn't transfer other police officers at will unless there were special circumstances. If he suddenly changed their positions, it would make Zhu Fu Kong Liang more conspicuous. In addition, the police system itself was very troublesome...

Therefore, in the short term, Zhu Fu Kong Liang will still stay here.

"Teacher...?" Zhu Fu Kongliang made a puzzled expression.

"Because Mr. Amuro is also a detective!" The four of them were paired up two-on-two, causing Edogawa Conan, who was completely ignored, to pull the corner of Morobu Sora's clothes, tilting his head and explaining in a cute way: "Mr. Amuro is Uncle Mori's disciple, so he calls Uncle Master!"

Zhufu Kongliang made a surprised expression and said with a sigh: "Then Mr. Amuro, you must be a very good detective!"

Amuro Toru started to flatter quite naturally: "No, no, no, compared to Mr. Maori, I have only learned the most basic parts now!"

Morofuku Soryo also helped to blow Maori Kogoro who was not present: "Please don't underestimate yourself. Mr. Maori accepted you as his disciple. Mr. Amuro, you must have something that Maori can appreciate!"

"After all, Mr. Mao Li is still a legend in the police academy!" Zhu Fukongliang expressed his true feelings.

Conan Edogawa was also extremely suspicious: Is that really the stupid uncle you are talking about?

The author has something to say:

Kong Liang's little knowledge

Teacher Kongliang: The "Kong" in my name is actually silent. It is pronounced as Akira, Morofushi Akira. However, it can also be pronounced the same as my brother Takaaki's literal pronunciation of "koumei", which is the homonym of Kongming. You can also call me Kuuryou. Isn't this pronunciation strange?

Like Koumei, who is Takaaki's brother, and Hiro, who is Jingguang's brother, I also have my own nickname. For example, my mother calls me "Ryou-chan" (Ryou and Liao are homophones).
