After much deliberation, Mu Tianyuan felt that the only explanation for everyone around him speaking in standard, articulate Mandarin was that he had transmigrated into the Mandarin-dubbed version of Conan he was watching! Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this!

Regardless of whether this was true or not, he happily accepted this conjecture as the truth. He had successfully transmigrated, and even came with a native identity, so what else was impossible? Perhaps he just went off course during transmigration? Or maybe that great deity was just messing with him for fun! Who could really know for sure about this kind of thing?

Mu Tianyuan, who failed in his ambition to become a top student, unwittingly monopolized the last place in his class, and even his grade, for an entire academic year. Throughout that year, his position was so solid it could be called impregnable. He was even a celebrity throughout the entire school. If it weren't for that Shinichi Kudo brat gradually showing his prominence, displaying his unawakened Grim Reaper aura, and constantly making headlines by appearing in newspapers, Mu Tianyuan would definitely still be the talk of the school!

However, even as Shinichi Kudo gradually gained fame, Mu Tianyuan still had his own undeniable charm. Almost everyone at Teitan High School, whether students, teachers of all grades, or other staff members, knew Mu Tianyuan, who turned in blank papers for every exam except math and English, and who wore a live fox as a hat on his head on the first day of school, and refused to change his ways.

Actually, Mu Tianyuan was helpless about the fox hat. Little Fox was well-behaved at home, but every time Mu Tianyuan wanted to go out, she insisted on coming along. If she were just a fox that couldn't talk, it would be fine; he could just lock her at home. But Little Fox could talk, and sometimes Mu Tianyuan couldn't even argue with her!

Not only that, Little Fox's intelligence was no less than a human's. If he didn't take her, she would open the door herself and come out! Even if she didn't open the door herself, she could mess up the house to express her dissatisfaction. Anyway, ever since Mu Tianyuan forcefully locked Little Fox at home and came back to find his house looking like a husky had broken in, Mu Tianyuan completely gave up on the idea of not taking Little Fox out. Because he didn't want to spend another miserable night cleaning up house chores!

One must say, Mu Tianyuan was truly someone who had seen the world. At the very least, his mentality was stronger than that of an average student. No matter how much the school teachers talked to him, he remained set in his ways. You can say what you want; that's your business. I always sincerely accept your opinions. As for whether I listen or not, that's my business. You want me to accept? Sorry, unless you come to my house every day to help me clean up the mess. If anyone can promise me that, I'll stop bringing Little Fox to school immediately!

Besides, bringing Little Fox to school was more important because she was eager to learn! Could they really stop a humble and ambitious fox from seeking knowledge? Anyway, he paid their tuition. Was there a problem with him bringing an auditor? Little Fox even said that if they thought foxes weren't suitable for school, she would complain to animal protection organizations in a minute! She would accuse them of racial discrimination. Then they would see what trouble they were in!

Over that year, apart from returning to his hometown once a month, Mu Tianyuan spent most of his time diligently attending school. However, Mu Tianyuan wasn't without other gains. At the very least, his relationship with Kogoro Mouri, whose cheat code hadn't yet gone online, was as close as brothers. And what greatly accelerated their relationship was alcohol!

Before one drinking session where Kogoro Mouri passed out under the table, Kogoro Mouri, in his drunken state, patted Mu Tianyuan's neck and declared that from that day on, Mu Tianyuan was his brother. He even demanded that Ran call Mu Tianyuan "Uncle"…

Of course, that was just Kogoro Mouri's drunken rambling. But from that day on, their relationship truly soared from 80 to almost 100. If at first Kogoro Mouri and Mu Tianyuan were only close because Mu Tianyuan was a friend's son, now they were genuinely intimate friends. It was even estimated that Mu Tianyuan's own father wouldn't have as close a relationship with Mu Tianyuan as Kogoro Mouri did.

After happily being promoted to Class 2B (2B, short for "very stupid" or "stupid beyond belief"), Mu Tianyuan was sprawled across his desk, chatting on a private line with Little Fox, when he suddenly heard Sonoko Suzuki nearby shriek: "What?! Ran, tomorrow you're going with…"

However, Sonoko only managed to blurt out that much. Ran quickly covered her mouth, stopping her from saying more. Mu Tianyuan looked up at Ran, who was nervously whispering something to Sonoko, and said: "Ran, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Ran asked, looking at Mu Tianyuan nervously. Mu Tianyuan pointed at Sonoko: "That is, Sonoko is about to pass out. Look, she's starting to roll her eyes."

"Uh…" Ran first let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, then, seeing Sonoko's appearance, immediately let go of Sonoko and looked at the gasping Sonoko with a face full of apologies: "Sonoko, I'm sorry!"

"Little Mu, thank you!" Sonoko first looked at Mu Tianyuan and sincerely thanked him, then somewhat helplessly looked at Ran: "Ran, you're not going to… sob sob sob!"

Sonoko, who never learned her lesson, had her mouth covered by Ran again, and was even dragged away by Ran…

"I guess Ran will definitely become a qualified human trafficker in the future. Look how skilled she is. Don't you agree, Shinichi?" Mu Tianyuan said, watching Ran's nimble movements, then turned to look at Shinichi Kudo, who sat on his other side.

"Heh heh…" Shinichi Kudo chuckled awkwardly upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, then lowered his head and continued writing furiously. This guy had forgotten about homework after getting excited from encountering a dead body at a party he attended yesterday…

"Tsk tsk, is writing homework fun, Great Detective?" Mu Tianyuan saw that Shinichi Kudo was ignoring him, so he pulled his chair closer and reached out as if holding a microphone, asking: "You don't know if it's fun?" Shinichi Kudo, while writing furiously, glared angrily at Mu Tianyuan. What's the point of asking that question when you're both students?!

But Mu Tianyuan's answer almost made Shinichi Kudo jump up in anger. Mu Tianyuan replied with a righteous expression: "How would I know? You know I never do homework."

Shinichi Kudo: "..." Damn it, I forgot this guy really never does homework…

It wasn't that Mu Tianyuan didn't want to do homework; it was that he couldn't do it. He couldn't even understand what those things were; how was he supposed to write anything? He had tried to write in Chinese, but what could he do if the teachers didn't understand him?

The next evening, Mu Tianyuan was lounging on the sofa with Little Fox, watching TV, when the home phone suddenly rang. Mu Tianyuan stood up, ambled to the phone, and picked it up half-dead: "Hello, who is it, what's up?"

"Little Mu, it's me, it's Ran." Ran's voice came from the other end of the line. Mu Tianyuan, hearing that it was Ran calling, immediately said: "Ran, is Uncle Mouri planning to ask me to drink again?"

"Uh, no, it's something I need to ask you." Ran's mouth twitched twice. Ran said she completely couldn't understand why Mu Tianyuan and her dad had become drinking buddies, and why her dad couldn't out-drink Mu Tianyuan…

"Tell Uncle Mouri I'll be right there. Uh, wait, you said you needed something from me?" Mu Tianyuan, having agreed, then realized that what Ran said wasn't what he thought, and he asked, puzzled: "What is it?"

"It's like this, has Shinichi gone to your place?" Ran's lips twitched twice, then she asked her question with a hint of anticipation. To Ran's disappointment, Mu Tianyuan flatly stated that Shinichi Kudo was not with him. Then Mu Tianyuan casually added: "Why, has that guy gone missing again?"

Ever since Shinichi Kudo embarked on this irreversible path of being a detective, he would mysteriously disappear every now and then, likely crouching at some murder scene playing detective. In an era where landlines reigned and mobile phones were luxury items, sometimes trying to find him was quite a hassle.

Ran, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, replied worriedly: "Yeah, I called his house earlier, and no one answered. I thought maybe he went to your place."

"Tsk, Ran Kudo, stop worrying, okay? You know that guy. He's probably off solving some other case. Maybe tomorrow you'll see what he's been up to today in the newspapers that Uncle Mouri tears up," Mu Tianyuan said, rolling his eyes, sensing the worry in Ran's voice. Ever since Shinichi Kudo became famous, Kogoro Mouri would tear up newspapers every now and then, then complain about high school students not studying and becoming detectives, stealing his job. Mu Tianyuan had witnessed such scenes countless times over the past year.

Actually, Mu Tianyuan really wanted to tell Shinichi Kudo: Is it really appropriate for you to offend your future father-in-law like this?

His father-in-law and son-in-law were already class enemies, and Shinichi Kudo was even stealing Uncle Mouri's job. As the saying goes, "cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents." Moreover, this guy not only cut off Uncle Mouri's financial path but also wanted to "eat" the precious young girl that Uncle Mouri had raised for over ten years. Mu Tianyuan felt that Shinichi Kudo was going to suffer a lot in the future…
