Chapter 97



During Christmas last year, Zhu Fu Kong Liang gave himself an exciting "psychological therapy".

The method of using bombs and a small dark room is not recommended for anyone other than the Saiki family.

Although some of the psychological shadows from childhood have been alleviated due to the addition of my younger brother, the psychological problems from childhood to the present are still there.

If it was really that easy to treat, Zhu Fu Kong Liang wouldn't have been an adult and still haven't gotten over his fear of the dark.

However - Zhufu Kongliang has not yet determined a treatment plan. It was entirely because the Qimu family gave him too much warmth. No one asked him to do anything, and they didn't even create a "treatment environment" for him.

Xiaokong Liang entered the Saiki family when he was three years old, but before he completed the adoption procedures, when he was still being cared for by the Saiki couple in the hospital, it was revealed that he was afraid of the dark.

The Saiki couple found him in that warehouse, and they easily understood the reason. From that moment on, the lights in the Saiki family never dimmed at night.

Even before this extremely gentle and foolish couple took him home, they had already made this decision.

When he was young, Sora Saiki did not notice the tenderness of this detail, because it had become a habit for him. It was not until he left home for a short period of time during his growth period and no one left a light on for him at night that Sora Saiki realized that his parents had built an absolutely safe area for him a long time ago.

It doesn't matter if you are afraid of the dark. The Saiki family will never fall into darkness anyway, so there is no need for "treatment".

But now that he has left the Saiki family and encountered dark environments many times, it is very likely that this will cause him new disasters in the future. Therefore, Zhufu Kongliang had to leave the absolutely safe place in the past and began to slowly get rid of the psychological shadow of the past.

However, the previous treatment was too stimulating, and Zhu Fukongliang stared at the light switch in his room for a long time.

Although the window was open and there was a moon outside, once the room got dark, it was easy to feel insecure.

As long as there is light, it doesn't matter, but if one is in a dark environment psychologically, it will still bring him negative and depressing feelings.

Do you want to turn it off? Do you want to give it a try?

After leaving the Saiki family, the police officer, who had never turned off the incandescent light in the apartment at night, pressed the switch button tentatively.

Then, at the moment when the room was getting dark, the lights came on again in an instant with a "click", even faster than a human could possibly think of.

Zhu Fukongliang: "..."

Zhu Fu Kongliang stared at his finger, which seemed to be completely out of control and currently resting on the switch key, and fell silent for a moment.

"I suggest that you take it one step at a time," Saiki Sorasuke's voice came from the TV.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang turned around and looked at the TV that was connected to the video call. His expression softened a little: "Kong Zhu, good evening."

Saiki Sosuke smiled and waved across the TV: "Good evening, brother. Although there is a time difference between us."

"Brother, do you still remember the humidifier I gave you before?" Qi Mukongzhu took the initiative to ask.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang looked at the bedside cabinet. That was a long time ago, when Kong Zhu had just appeared. At that time, Kong Zhu helped him renovate the kitchen and also left him a humidifier with a sleeping function.

"Brother, pick up the humidifier. There is a small button like a bulb underneath." Saiki Sosuke reminded.

Morofu Sora followed Saiki Sorasuke's instructions and picked up the humidifier. When he pressed the button, the cat-shaped humidifier lit up with a soft and warm orange light.

"Night light?" Zhu Fukongliang was a little surprised.

"Well, I added this feature because I thought my brother might need it." Saiki Sosuke smiled across the screen.

"Thank you, Sosuke." Morofu Sora held the cat-shaped night light. The next second, the warm scene suddenly changed, and the black-haired police officer sharply complained: "Although I don't quite understand why the light is placed in such a delicate place."

"And it's just a humidifier. Even though it's in the shape of a cat, there's no need to make it so realistic."

"Haha, isn't this interesting?" Saiki Sosuke smiled as usual. "Because my mom is allergic to cat hair, I plan to make a cat for her. Now I'm hesitating between cartoon and realistic styles - does my brother have any suggestions?"

"Nansuo cat?" Zhufu Kongliang blurted out.

Saiki Sosuke was not surprised by this answer: "It is indeed a good suggestion. I will go and prepare it. Good night, brother."

Zhu Fukongliang: "..."

Morofuku Sora: "I suddenly feel a little sorry for Kusuo."

After all, considering Sorasuke's aesthetics and bad taste, the final product is either a strange creature with Kusuo's head and a cat's body, or a cat-headed robot with a lollipop (superpower inhibitor) inserted into the body of a man wearing a PK school uniform.

Zhu Fu Kong Liang immediately put aside his guilt towards his youngest brother. After all, he never got involved in the confrontations between his brothers (hence why it became a confrontation again).

With this humidifier night light that is perfect except for the subtle light point, Zhu Fukongliang can finally feel at ease. After entering this apartment, he pressed the light off button for the first time at night.

And then I had a dreamless night with excellent sleep quality.

Then the next day, Morofuku Sorao ran into the dear Miss Chisawa Hagiwara at the Poirot Café.

Just as he was about to blurt out the name Chisuki, Morofu Kongliang suddenly remembered the threat of reporting him the night before. He had already taken two steps towards Chisuki Hagiwara, but he decisively changed direction and sat down in another seat.

Toru Amuro, who also had a menu in hand and was planning to order after the siblings sat down, was stunned for a moment, not knowing where to go first.

Hagiwara Chisu noticed this childish resistance and after a second's reaction, he realized it was a sequela of yesterday's conversation and suddenly felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

However, he was not used to the other party, so Hagiwara Chisu sat down in the seat he had originally chosen.

——So, when Conan Edogawa came to Poirot after school, he noticed the inexplicable strange aura in the store. He looked closely and found that it was Officer Chisuga and Mr. Kongliang.

Conan Edogawa was at a loss for a moment, and whispered to Amuro Toru, "What happened, Mr. Amuro?"

"...I'm not sure either. It looked like they had a quarrel." Toru Amuro was still thinking about what happened last night. He had not yet mentioned the disappearance of the corpse to Conan Edogawa.

In fact, Amuro Toru rarely reveals his own intelligence unless it is necessary. Even so, Conan always has various strange channels and knows a lot of things that a child like him should not know.

But what happened yesterday could be considered a collaboration between the two parties, and Toru Amuro did not intend to hide it, it was just that there had not been the right time to bring it up.

"He seemed fine yesterday?" Conan Edogawa asked curiously.

Out of curiosity and many other reasons, in short, after Shuichi Akai gave some information about Scotland, Conan Edogawa quickly matched the identity of "Scotland" mentioned by Masumi Sera in the past in Poirot.

At that time, Suzuki Sonoko was planning to form a girl band and invited Sera Masumi. Sera Masumi said that she knew some basic skills and was taught by an older brother called "Scottish". She also pointed out that Amuro Toru was very similar to another person at the time.

Toru Amuro simply replied that it was a coincidence, but Conan Edogawa realized that it was the transaction site of the Black Organization.

At that time, Conan Edogawa was still wondering why there was such a gentle person in the organization who could teach children to play bass.

According to Shuichi Akai, that person was an undercover public security agent. If nothing unexpected happened, based on their similar appearance, it can be confirmed that Scotland was... Mr. Kong Liang's brother.

Does Mr. Kongliang know that his brother has already...? Just thinking about this, Edogawa Conan couldn't help feeling depressed.

According to the information that Baili and Huiyuan said last night, it doesn't seem strange that either Baili or Bailandide would stare at Mr. Kongliang like this.

He also needs to remind Mr. Kong Liang to be careful. Edogawa Conan thought to himself.

"Conan? Is school over already?" Childishly ignoring Hagiwara Chisawa, Morofuku Sora took the initiative to greet the young detective who was obviously thinking.

Edogawa Conan sat opposite Morobuchi Sora with his schoolbag on his back. He greeted them first and exchanged some daily conversations. Then he asked curiously in an innocent and simple child's tone: "Come to think of it, have Sora and Baili known each other for a long time? How did you two get to know each other?"

When Edogawa Conan mentioned this name, Morobuchi Sora naturally asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

The reaction of the black-haired police officer seemed to show that he was completely unaware of the other party's ill intentions towards him and that the other party had been killed by Bailandide.

But perhaps because of what Edogawa Conan said, he smiled and said, "By the way, Baili has already left. If Conan has something to ask him, maybe I can help tell him?"

Edogawa Conan: “!”

Amuro Toru, who was eavesdropping: “!”

Edogawa Conan restrained the emotion in his voice and asked calmly, "What left?"

"Bai Li, he should be on the plane now, right?" Zhu Fu Kong Liang looked at the young detective innocently and suspiciously: "Bai Li is still a minor, his vacation is over, of course he has to go back? Is there any problem?"

Conan Edogawa asked: "Did you say that, Baili and Kongliang?"

Zhu Fukongliang smiled and replied, "Well, Bailey looked reluctant to leave when he bought the plane ticket. He seemed to like this place very much. But because of work, I didn't send him to the airport, which is a bit regretful."

Edogawa Conan is about to explode! Baili was killed last night. Who else could it be that "Baili" that Mr. Kongliang saw?

——There is only one possibility, that is, after killing Baili, Bailandide disguised himself as Baili and appeared in front of Mr. Kongliang, pretending to be Baili and not dead yet!

Zhu Fukongliang narrowed his eyes at the little detective who suddenly became alert. But he hadn't told a single lie.

Author's words: Kong Liang: It's getting more and more fun, huh? You're asking about resurrection? What resurrection?
