As we all know, Toru Amuro has three faces: public security, organization member, and Poirot waiter.
For someone who walks in danger all year round, Poirot's job is actually almost the same as rest - but anyone who has worked in the service industry knows that as a waiter, he needs to pay attention to the guests at all times, take orders, cook, clean, and deal with conflicts and unexpected situations that may arise between guests.
It seems easy, but it actually takes a lot of thought. The only thing that is easy for them is that the customers and colleagues are ordinary people, and they don't need to worry too much about their danger.
But Toru Amuro was a very dedicated person. Even for this kind of work, he would go to the cafe early to prepare. In addition, it was impossible for him to handle public security or undercover work in Poirot, which meant that when he had a shift in Poirot, the daytime was wasted, and all the work piled up until the evening when he had to stay up late to handle it.
In addition, with the recent change of seasons, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large, and if you are not careful, you will easily catch a cold. However, from what I have observed so far, Toru Amuro does not seem to care about his physical condition.
To be honest, if it weren't for the God's rigid setting, the appearance of one of the top idols wouldn't have been reduced. If you endure this every day, won't you become bald, Toru Amuro?!
After some complaints in his heart, Morofu Kongliang's apartment was indeed not far away. After walking for a while, Morofu Kongliang arrived at the first floor of the apartment. On the way, he took the supermarket bag from Amuro Toru's hand.
Zhu Fukongliang took a quick glance and saw that most of the ingredients inside were what Poirot would need.
But when they reached the bottom floor of the apartment, Zhu Fukongliang hesitated for a moment before consciously taking the steps toward the stairs. According to his character, he shouldn't let the patient take the stairs at this time, right?
Even though he was a little dizzy, Amuro Toru quickly noticed this small action of Morobuku Sora. He immediately recalled the consequences of the last elevator trip - and then thought of Morobuku Sora's fear of the dark (most likely due to claustrophobia).
Amuro Toru only knew that Zhufu Kongliang was afraid of the dark, but he didn't know that the sealed space would also give Zhufu Kongliang a debuff. But after the last incident, Amuro Toru has confirmed this.
Since he couldn't refuse (not to mention that Toru Amuro did have a plan to investigate Morobuchi Sora), Toru Amuro naturally took a few steps towards the stairs, and turned his head to look at Morobuchi Sora who had stopped for a moment, questioningly: "Mr. Sora?"
It can be said that this response shows very high emotional intelligence.
But facing Amuro Toru's attitude, Morofu Sora had to rebel. The black-haired police officer pursed his lips and dragged Amuro Toru towards the elevator: "This way."
Toru Amuro was a little confused and almost didn't react.
Morofu Soraliang turned his back to Amuro Toru, holding the supermarket bag tightly in one hand, and pressed the 5th floor button on the elevator with his other hand.
The elevator brought a sense of weightlessness as it went up. Things that I didn't pay much attention to in the past always become more obvious when I have a high fever. Amuro Toru lowered his head slightly, looking at the black-haired young man in front of him who unconsciously clenched his fists, and felt a little stuffy in his chest.
Maybe it was the weightlessness of the elevator, or maybe it was the negative feeling caused by the high fever.
Why was it so obvious, but he didn't notice it last time? Amuro Toru wondered.
The people of the Morobuchi family seem to have a hereditary stubbornness. It's like Jingguang is unwilling to mention what happened at home to others. He just wants to investigate it alone without revealing his emotions.
Zhu Fu Gaoming also obviously remembered what happened back then, and even when his brother mentioned it to him fifteen years later, he could still tell the details with certainty.
Zhu Fukongliang has fears, but rarely shows them in his daily life.
Morofu Sora, who simply wanted to consciously control his fear and was a little rebellious, of course had no idea what was going through Amuro Toru's drowsy mind.
The elevator quickly reached the fifth floor, and Zhu Fu Kongliang unconsciously exhaled a breath. There was no problem this time!
He took the initiative to walk to the door of his apartment, took out the key and unlocked it - this should be the first time that Toru Amuro came to the apartment where he lived.
In this case, Morobuchi Sora was a little surprised by the way Amuro Toru treated him. According to the personality and way of doing things of this public security officer, when he realized the suspicious points about him, Morobuchi Sora thought he would receive a reminder from Sora that "Brother, your apartment has been monitored by someone else."
As a result, up to now, not only Toru Amuro, but even the little detective has never done this to him.
How high have I raised my favorability? Zhu Fu Kong Liang couldn't help wondering.
"Mr. Amuro, please come in." The black-haired police officer opened the door with a smile, and Amuro Toru did not seem to be on guard - but when the blond policeman stepped into the room, his body immediately became alert!
As a public security officer and a member of the organization, Toru Amuro is extremely sensitive to whether he is being monitored, not to mention that he is a member of the intelligence team.
Just like when Conan Edogawa installed a bug in Gin's Porsche, Gin noticed it after a while. This is the vigilance that people in these gray and black areas have been trained to have. If you are not careful, your secrets may be exposed at any time and you may lose your life.
If it was like a small listening device, even Gin would need a while to react - but when you are surrounded and monitored almost 360 degrees from beginning to end, the moment you are in this space, Amuro Toru's intuition issued a warning, and goose bumps all over his body appeared because of this situation.
As an undercover agent who has to protect his identity from the very beginning, if he is not a little vigilant, Toru Amuro will not survive a single episode.
...Is this really an ordinary apartment, and not a monitoring room of some public security or organization?
After entering the room, Amuro Toru consciously began to control his muscles. Although he was on guard, at least he looked normal on the outside.
Zhufu Kongliang looked as if he knew nothing. He put down the supermarket bag in his hand very naturally, and then led Amuro Toru to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Would you like something to drink?" Because he had been exposed to the flower-growing culture since he was very young, he was used to drinking hot water when he had a cold or a high fever. However, in Japan, it is the opposite. There is a tradition of eating ice cream and drinking ice water to cool down.
Amuro Toru smiled: "Ordinary water is fine."
——Actually, apart from water, there was basically nothing in Zhufu Kongliang's house. When he opened the refrigerator, it was filled with rows of mineral water and a portion of dessert left for his brother, but not a single vegetable or meat.
The kitchen has been idle so far that Zhu Fu Kong Liang has never even mastered the simplest method of boiling eggs.
Amuro Toru also obviously noticed this. The apartment was very empty. It was reasonable to say that Sora Sora had lived there for a while, but apart from some necessary daily necessities, there was almost nothing there.
It was so clean that it looked like a new tenant had just moved in - even new tenants would still have a lot of luggage.
While Zhufu Kongliang walked to the kitchen, Amuro Toru glanced around the room with his peripheral vision. The surveillance was hidden very well, and it was difficult to find it with the naked eye without a deep investigation.
After all, the room is so small and empty, so you can see at a glance if there is anything extra.
Now, there is only one thing that makes Toru Amuro curious: does Sora Ryo himself know about these surveillance systems that are likely to exist?
If Toru Amuro wasn't very sensitive to these things, he wouldn't have been able to discover the problem with the apartment with his naked eyes. If Sora Morobuchi was an ordinary person from the beginning, he would naturally not have thought that his apartment would be monitored by someone.
After all, men are always less vigilant and defensive than women, and it is difficult for them to become the target of certain groups unless they come into contact with something special. Not to mention that they need to check whether there are any surveillance cameras around them at any time, like Toru Amuro.
Because of the existence of surveillance, no matter who installed it, Amuro Toru could not show that he "found the surveillance". He was also a little glad that he did not ask his men to investigate the apartment where Morobu Sora was currently living.
There are two reasons. One is naturally the influence of childhood, and the other is that Toru Amuro is worried that if outsiders come to investigate the apartment, Sora Ryo will find something wrong.
Zhufu Kongliang's insight is no less than his, and with the possibility of hyperamnesia, if there is any slight change in the information or anything else in the room, Zhufu Kongliang will notice that something is wrong.
His subordinates may not notice this.
It's not that he doesn't trust his subordinates, it's simply that... the enemy is too strong. Unless he takes action himself, Amuro Toru will not leave such a loophole.
Because he was too concerned about surveillance-related matters, and because of the negative buff brought to him by the high fever, it took Toru Amuro longer than usual to notice the document placed openly on the living room desk.
The document was placed upside down, but there seemed to be some stains on the edge. Amuro Toru analyzed it subconsciously and immediately realized that it was the juice stain he got at Poirot that day!
In other words, this document is...
Medical words are different from normal English, and to those who have never been exposed to them, they are like garbled codes that are difficult to read. Amuro Toru only glanced at it at the time, and was not sure whether the letters he saw were because he had just experienced super memory, so he automatically substituted them into the text, causing a subconscious deviation in his thinking.
It is difficult for Toru Amuro to come to a conclusion directly when he cannot be completely sure. After getting a clue, he still needs to verify whether the clue is correct and true. A slight deviation in intelligence may lead to irreparable consequences.
And sometimes, the human brain deceives itself.
At this moment, the document was right in front of him. He only needed to stretch out his hand to get the answer and confirm certain things.
However, just as Toru Amuro stretched out his hand and was about to touch the document——
The sound of a glass falling on the table was heard. Zhufu Kongliang, who had returned from nowhere, asked in a gentle and calm tone, "Mr. Amuro, what are you doing?"
Toru Amuro's pupils shrank and his movements froze at this step.
