Everyone Named Zhufu Is a Brother-Con

Morofushi Hiromitsu didn't know which was more despairing: having his identity as an undercover agent exposed, or pointing a gun at himself to protect information about his friends and family, only to discover his older brother had been watching the whole time... No, surely the most despairing thing was being dragged home on the spot by his furious big brother, then getting his pants pulled down and his butt spanked over his brother's knee while his second brother watched... Morofushi Hiromitsu lay obediently on the bed, waiting for his big brother to explain what was going on with the organization's third-in-command, Whiskey, who had declared, "The intel was wrong. Abort the mission." When his second brother said, "Allow me to formally introduce myself. My codename is Cointreau," Hiromitsu's vision finally went black and he passed out... "'Sailing upstream through the clear light of the sky.' Kongliu, you're the eldest. Make sure you protect Takaaki and Hiromitsu." Morofushi Kongliu was the eldest son of the Morofushi family. Below him were his younger brother Morofushi Takaaki, a year his junior, and Morofushi Hiromitsu, seven years younger. Though he'd been a genius from childhood, his parents' care had given him a happy, ordinary childhood and adolescence. But when he was fourteen, his parents were murdered, and Morofushi Kongliu had no choice but to grow up overnight and hold the family together. To "protect his younger brothers" and "stay with his family," Morofushi Kongliu became [Shiraishi Tsukiyo], became [Mobley], and became [Whiskey]. But life is unpredictable. The younger brother he'd wanted to protect, Morofushi Takaaki, also became [Hayami Akira], became [Cointreau], and became the organization's [strategist]. It was fine. As long as their family could still be together, that was enough. He'd planned to keep his head down at his day job, slack off on the clock behind the scenes, and maybe find time for a romance, until he saw a familiar face in the organization's list of new recruits, with the alias "Midori Kawa Hikaru" beside it. Morofushi Kongliu and Morofushi Takaaki exchanged a glance. How about we take down this organization and give it to Koko/Hikaru as a career achievement? P.S. 1. Morofushi Kongliu has maxed-out mechanical and computer skills, at the absolute highest level. 2. There won't be a romance with Gin before he's an adult. Even if there is, it'll be one-sided. Kongliu won't return his feelings. 3. The timeline is before the first year of Detective Conan. Shinichi won't become Conan in the story. Let the high schoolers enjoy high school, and let the adults take responsibility! 4. The setting combines Detective Conan and Bungo Stray Dogs, along with a few elements from a certain Italian mafia. 5. This has a happy ending where good is rewarded and evil punished. Note: Chapters 8 and 9 are heartbreaking. 6. For now, updates are weekly, Saturdays at 18:00. CP: Morofushi Kongliu x Gin Content warnings: 1. Not a monogamous pairing. Morofushi Kongliu and Shuichi Akai are exes. 2. The Morofushi family consists of real-deal Vermouth, Kongliu, and Takaaki, plus undercover agent Hiromitsu. 3. Side couples include HikaZero, HagiMatsu, TakaAoi, Kansu, and others. These are the ones that may come up for now. I'll add more if I write any. 4. The romance doesn't appear until after chapter twenty. (Lights cigarette.jpg) (What, you don't know what TakaAoi is? (Though it's so obscure there isn't even a tag...) In the [Red Wall] case, Aoi Kobashi is Takaaki's elementary school classmate, whom Kansuke Yamato confirmed was someone "Takaaki always had a crush on"! Keeping a novel based on her in the car bed every day is such a widower thing to do! And he was secretly in love with her, too! He watched her marry someone else, then went to lay flowers at her grave every year after she died! For reserved Japanese people, "having a soft spot for someone" means being in love. The words used in the confession text Matsuda sent Sato before he died were also "I have a soft spot for you." Takaaki's miserable enough in canon: his parents died when he was in his teens, the girl he loved died in his twenties, and his younger brother died in his thirties... Let him be with the girl he's loved since childhood in this story.) (↑ They don't get much page time, but I still wanted to explain.) Theme: Family is the most important thing
