When I Bind the Plot Maintenance System

Chapter 75



Chapter 74:

The footsteps stopped at the corner where they seemed to be less than half a meter, so the sound that was at a distance became extremely close, like the whisper of a lover in the ear.

The next second, Edogawa Conan heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against them. The man who was only so far away from them crouched down, his magnetic low voice with a clear smile.

“Come, get to know my little friend, it’s cute cat sauce~” Granta was like a child who saw interesting things to share with friends, and the sense of danger just now disappeared in an instant.

“Meow~” Simultaneously, Edogawa Conan heard the soft meowing of a cat.

But Edogawa Conan still didn’t dare to breathe, for fear that his gasping sound would startle the cat who didn’t know where it came from and make Granta notice him.

The half-long-haired young man stretched out his hand and rubbed the cat’s chin very skillfully, and joked, “Scotland, do you think this cat looks familiar?”

Scotland: “Huh?”

Seeing that the cat is not afraid of people, Granta lifted the cat up, “Look, eyes, are they exactly the same as yours!”

Scotland:”…”

Scotland laughed: “If you have so much free time, how about the work in the future?”

“Eh-I don’t want it!” Granta puffed up her cheeks: “I even promised someone else to have a drink at night~”

“Okay, don’t waste your time. Let’s make a quick fight.”

“Who the **** is wasting time?” Scotland said lightly.

Granta just pretended she didn’t understand and changed the subject with a smile.

It was not until the two of them walked away that Edogawa Conan was put down. Zhu Fu Kongliang reached out and patted the little detective on the back. At this time, Edogawa Conan realized that he had not been breathing for a long time.

He blushed and took a deep breath.

Seeing that the child had recovered, Zhu Fu Kongliang withdrew his hand, and then aimed at the orange cat who walked over with kitten steps from the corner.

“Meow—” The cat lengthened its voice, as if it wanted to be praised, and lifted its small chin and rubbed it against Zhu Fukongliang’s feet.

Zhu Fukongliang maintained a half-squatting posture and rubbed the cat’s head: “Good boy, good boy, thank you just now.”

Zhu Fukongliang pinched the cat’s ears to confirm, and nodded: “It’s not sterilized yet, I’ll take you to the hospital later.”

So Edogawa Conan heard such a subtle line just after returning to God, and the nervousness and panic in his heart were all placed behind the desire to complain.

Looking at the cat who was still begging for a kiss without knowing it, Conan Edogawa asked hesitantly, “Nozaki-san, this cat is…”

“First time, stray cat.” Zhu Fu Kongliang waved at Edogawa Conan with the cat’s paw: “If it wasn’t for it this time, we would have been discovered, and we should thank it.”

“Uh, no, I mean…” Edogawa Conan didn’t know what he wanted to say for a while, and finally slumped his shoulders: “I see, Nozaki-san.”

Edogawa Conan also thanked the cat seriously, and also noticed that the cat’s eyes were blue, and the arc on the cat’s eyes was a bit similar to Nozaki Umetaro: “Thank you, kitten.”

Listening to this little cat, Zhu Fukong Liang dreamed back to the “stealing cat” he once said. The cat is so cute, so I will still talk about stealing dogs in the future, right?

As a high school student, Edogawa Conan felt that his behavior was a bit too naive, but when he thought about his appearance now, he thought about it. Anyway, only Nozaki Umedaro sees him now. In his eyes, he is just a primary school student, so naive is naive!

But the point is also here, Edogawa Conan got serious: “Nozaki-san, just now…”

At this moment, the phone rang, and Edogawa Conan’s heart throbbed. He froze for two seconds, his expression blank for a while, and then he realized that it was the phone in his pocket that rang.

He couldn’t help but rejoice, fortunately it didn’t ring just now, otherwise he would be gone now – forget it himself, if it involved Nozaki Umitaro, who protected him, and the people around him, it would be bad.

“Hello…” Edogawa Conan answered the phone.

And the voice of Maurilan on the other side of the conversation also sounded: [Conan! Where are you now? Are you lost? 】

On the other side of the phone, I can hear Sonoko Suzuki’s voice: [Maybe that kid fell into the toilet! 】

“No way!” Edogawa Conan retorted first, and then said obediently: “That, Sister Xiaolan, I…”

Edogawa Conan glanced at the black-haired and blue-eyed boy subconsciously, and saw the other party stretch out his hand, motioning him to give him the phone.

Edogawa Conan was taken aback for a moment, maybe he wanted to test it, or for some other reason, in short, the mobile phone was given to Zhu Fukongliang.

Mao Lilan was a little worried on the opposite side: [Hello? Why did you suddenly stop talking? 】

“It’s me, student Maori.” Zhu Fukongliang said.

【Um? This voice… ah! Is that Nozaki-kun? 】

“Yeah. I picked up a stray cat just now and planned to send it to the hospital for sterilization. Conan was very curious and said that the teacher had arranged a research report and he wanted to write about cats, so he asked me if I could go to the hospital together.”

【Eh? 】Maolilan was a little surprised.

“I think this is a good life experience. After all, simply feeding stray cats will not cultivate children’s sense of responsibility. It is a good experience for elementary school students to see the whole process completed with their own eyes.”

Mao Lilan was persuaded, but was still a little worried: [Will this bother you too much? Nozaki-kun. 】

“It’s okay, I’ll send him back to the office before dark.”

After Zhu Fukongliang briefly said a few words to Mao Lilan, he hung up the phone.

After hearing the first sentence, he realized that the other party was making excuses for him, and Edogawa Conan didn’t interrupt. He didn’t say anything until he hung up the phone, “Nozaki-san, so you—”

Zhu Fu Kongliang held the cat in one hand and reached out to Conan Edogawa: “Let’s go to the hospital.”

Edogawa Conan: “Huh?”

Edogawa Conan: “…”

Edogawa Conan: …So you are serious about sterilization!

Looking at the little kitty who didn’t know it, Edogawa Conan repented in his heart, and always felt that some kind of revenge would be revenge.

“Is Brother Nozaki popular with cats?” Edogawa Conan curiously found the topic as he walked, trying to get to the point.

“Well, it’s the degree to which you will be buried when you go to the cat cafe.” Zhu Fukongliang said.

Edogawa Conan: “…Ahaha, yes.”

Zhu Fukongliang is definitely not an excellent chat partner, but he is a perfect listener. This also led to – Edogawa Conan did not say anything, but instead exposed a lot of his own information.

Of course, what he exposed was only the daily life of elementary school students. As for Kudo Shinichi’s part, he would not reveal a word.

Seeing Zhu Fukongliang’s extremely proficient set of procedures, and watching the dazed kitten who was put in an Elizabethan circle and controlled by a doctor, Edogawa Conan’s desire to complain became more and more strong.

It was at this time that Zhu Fu Kongliang touched Edogawa Conan’s hair: “When the operation is finished and it is settled, I will send you home.”

Edogawa Conan was shocked: “Brother Nozaki!”

The good exchange of information – wait, this guy doesn’t seem to have said anything, did he really just send him to watch a sterilization operation! On the contrary, he always felt that he would explain the situation to himself unilaterally!

Edogawa Conan himself startled himself, but Zhu Fu Kongliang didn’t have so many thoughts of teasing children. After all, his task was to protect this little detective.

Edogawa Conan decided to try again, “So why was Brother Nozaki there at that time?”

Zhu Fukongliang looked down at the clear blue eyes through the glasses, “I’m doing the same thing as you.”

Edogawa Conan paused: “…the same thing?”

He was stalking Granta just now, so Nozaki Umetaro was also stalking Granta… No! uncertain!

From his point of view at the time, it was impossible to notice the appearance of another person in advance! Rather than stalking Granta, Nozaki Umetaro’s goal… It should be the man called Scotland!

What Granta said before suddenly replayed in Edogawa Conan’s ear, that sentence—[Scotland, do you think this cat is a little familiar? 】

[Look, eyes, eyes, are they exactly the same as yours! 】

Eyes… Obviously, this detail seems to be baseless, and he has never seen what that Scotland looks like, but it happens that Conan Edogawa intuitively feels that this information is the point.

Edogawa Conan stared at the cat that came out of the operating room, his memory would be blurred by his brain, so he had to watch it once – looking at the drowsy orange cat who was anesthetized, he felt familiar before meeting him blue cat’s eye. Edogawa Conan swallowed.

He knew that his judgment was a bit too sudden, but the logic seemed reasonable.

Why hasn’t he paid attention to the existence of that older brother for 22 years (to be precise, for Nozaki Umetaro, it’s only more than ten years), but he suddenly wanted to know about the other party’s situation recently.

Also, is the name Nozaki Umedaro really his real name?

It was precisely because I had met the other side recently that I had the idea to investigate, so the attitude at the time of the request was like that – but there is one thing, assuming that there is really a relationship between that Scotland and Nozaki Umetaro, but it is not a direct relationship. Brother, can they really look so similar?

Edogawa Conan’s voice was calm, but the hand behind his back was tightly clenched, “That, Brother Nozaki, I have a question.”

Facing Zhu Fukongliang’s eyes looking at him, Edogawa Conan pursed his lips: “Scotland…is that the brother you’re looking for?”

“Speaking of which, those two big brothers are really naive. Now elementary school students don’t use nicknames to call others!”

Edogawa Conan’s voice seemed to be cut off, because Zhu Fukong Ryo spoke.

“No explanation, no pretense.” He said, “Why do you think I found the Maori Detective Agency to entrust this matter?”

Seeing the child’s terrified expression, Zhu Fukongliang was a little strange, but he understood immediately when he thought about the startled behavior of his group of classmates.

After all, everyone is a high school boy. Zhu Fukongliang thought so.
