Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Uncle Mouri, Your Son-in-Law Cheat Is Online!
And Ran, on the other end of the phone, hearing Mu Tianyuan call her Conan Ran, blinked her doe eyes and said, "You're talking nonsense again. Shinichi and I are nothing!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, student Conan Ran. I won't talk nonsense again, student Conan Ran, so if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Goodnight, student Conan Ran." Mu Tianyuan replied with a very sincere tone, then, without waiting for Ran to say anything, Mu Tianyuan quickly hung up the phone and walked towards the sofa, sighing to the little fox, "You know what? Teasing the male and female protagonists is unexpectedly interesting."
"Do you know that by offending the male and female protagonists like that, you'll often get beaten to death?" The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan's sigh, rolled her eyes and replied. Then, to make Mu Tianyuan fully realize this, the little fox added, "Especially when that little Ran-chan just won the Kantō Region Women's Karate Championship. She doesn't need to team up with any justice-loving companions; she alone can use the momentum of her championship to beat you to death. By then, I'll send you money on Qingming and Zhongyuan festivals. By the way, do you prefer US dollars or RMB? I guarantee every bill will have the Jade Emperor and King Yama printed on it!"
Mu Tianyuan: "Uh... you're really good at chatting..."
Then Mu Tianyuan propped his chin and thought for a moment, "But what you said makes sense. Ran is not easy to mess with. It seems I'll have to focus my teasing on that kid Shinichi from now on."
"Excuse me, is this what they call bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, rolled her eyes and complained helplessly. Damn it, since Ran isn't easy to mess with, you'll go provoke that weakling Shinichi?
And Mu Tianyuan nodded heartily and said, "Absolutely!"
Mu Tianyuan's current mindset was that although he didn't know why he ended up in the Conan world, this was a rare opportunity. Since he was here, if he didn't have a good time, he might be letting this rare opportunity down!
Little Fox: "..."
As Mu Tianyuan and the little fox ate snacks and watched TV, another half an hour passed without them realizing it. Suddenly, the phone rang again. Hearing the phone ring, Mu Tianyuan stood up helplessly and muttered, "Who is it now? Can't a person just watch TV in peace?"
"Didn't you say the TV was boring earlier?" The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan's grumbling, immediately seized the opportunity to complain. Mu Tianyuan, rolling his eyes, replied, "The TV is indeed boring. Mainly, I'm too lazy to move. Speaking of which, I've decided to extend the phone cord tomorrow, otherwise, having to walk to answer the phone is too troublesome."
For Mu Tianyuan, who was already used to answering calls by taking out his phone, having to run to answer the phone was indeed a bit inconvenient!
This time, it was still the Mouri family calling Mu Tianyuan, but this time it was a different person: Ran's father, Kogoro Mouri. And Uncle Mouri's purpose for calling at this moment was also very simple: he wanted to pull Mu Tianyuan to drink with him. Although Mu Tianyuan wasn't fond of drinking before, he could drink, and his alcohol tolerance was quite good. Since he received the Alpaca Sect's inheritance and was subsequently strengthened, he could be considered a bottomless drinker. Since he had this advantage, Mu Tianyuan naturally had to make good use of it. Building a good relationship with Kogoro Mouri was a good use. Now, hearing that Kogoro Mouri wanted to get drunk again and was willing to help, Mu Tianyuan naturally wouldn't refuse. Anyway, the place he lived was not far from the Mouri family, so he might as well go. Who's afraid of whom!
After changing clothes and carrying the little fox, Mu Tianyuan arrived at the Mouri family's house within a few minutes. He familiar went to the second-floor detective agency, pushed the door open, and said to Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting in front of the coffee table, "Uncle Mouri, excuse the intrusion."
"Come, come quickly, we're going to have a good drink today." Uncle Mouri, seeing his drinking buddy arrive, immediately waved to Mu Tianyuan. Mu Tianyuan, after placing some beer and snacks he conveniently bought from the supermarket on the way on the table, asked curiously, "Where's Ran?"
"She went to find that detective kid." Uncle Mouri, who was originally happy to see the beer Mu Tianyuan bought, immediately became somewhat displeased when Mu Tianyuan mentioned Ran. It's already dark, and she went to find that damn detective kid. This dad is jealous of his daughter, do you know that?
Mu Tianyuan merely smiled at Uncle Mouri's words. Worrisome Ran! Then he picked up two cans of beer. After opening them, he handed one to Uncle Mouri. Just as Mu Tianyuan was about to raise a toast with Uncle Mouri, the phone in the agency rang. Uncle Mouri somewhat helplessly put down the beer, stood up, and went to the desk to answer the phone. After chatting for a couple of sentences, Uncle Mouri, who was originally a bit unhappy about having his drinking mood disturbed, suddenly said in an excited tone, "What? Your daughter has been kidnapped?!"
Then he heard Uncle Mouri say again, "No, no, no, I'm not happy. I just think this is too unfortunate..."
Mu Tianyuan glanced at Uncle Mouri, who was smiling so wide his eyes were almost invisible, and complained helplessly, "I always thought Uncle Mouri's expression right now is happy. What kind of person is he? Someone's daughter got kidnapped, and he's actually happy."
"Who knows," the little fox replied, pulling out two peanuts from the bag Mu Tianyuan brought and eating them, swaying her tail. "But I think if the person who called him was here, he would definitely become a murderer."
Uncle Mouri didn't know that the person and fox beside him were condemning him. He pretended to be serious and talked to the person on the phone with a smile, then suddenly hung up. Then, under the gaze of Mu Tianyuan and the little fox, Uncle Mouri jumped half a meter high and cheered, "Great! I finally have a case after half a year!"
Mu Tianyuan, little fox: "..."
After staring at the cheering Kogoro Mouri for a long time, the little fox turned to Mu Tianyuan and said, "I think we misunderstood this perverted uncle. He's actually quite pitiful..."
"Yeah, he's quite pitiful..." Mu Tianyuan nodded solemnly. They finally understood why Uncle Mouri was so happy just now. It wasn't that Uncle Mouri was gloating; it was literally his first case in half a year! It was finally opening for business. Who wouldn't be happy?
But, understanding was understanding, they still felt that Uncle Mouri was truly pitiful...
After cheering for a while, Uncle Mouri suddenly grabbed the suit jacket he had thrown aside, put it on, and then glanced at Mu Tianyuan, saying, "Xiao Mu, wait for me for a bit. I'll go to work first, and then we'll continue drinking when I get back!"
"I'm good at hide-and-seek. I'm free anyway, Uncle Mouri, I'll go with you." Mu Tianyuan didn't want to wait there foolishly by himself. Since he was free anyway, he might as well help.
"Alright then. You can be my assistant then. I'll show you how a great detective solves cases." Kogoro Mouri was not polite at all and readily agreed to Mu Tianyuan's request to team up. Just like that, Mu Tianyuan, as a sidekick, carrying beer and holding the little fox, followed the self-proclaimed great detective Kogoro Mouri out to solve the case.
After locking the door, Kogoro Mouri rushed downstairs in a hurry. After just two steps, he saw Ran standing at the staircase. Kogoro Mouri immediately yelled for Ran to quickly get out of the way. Ran was quite agile. Seeing her dad rushing down the stairs in a hurry, she immediately moved aside. The problem was, Ran was agile, but Kogoro Mouri, her father, was not. Perhaps the first case in half a year made him a little overly excited. As he was about to run down the stairs, he tripped over his left foot with his right, and then splatted face-first onto the ground...
Mu Tianyuan and the little fox, who were following behind, saw Kogoro Mouri's perfect prostration. Their mouths twitched. He fell so hard; it looked like it hurt!
And just as Mu Tianyuan and the others were feeling pain for Kogoro Mouri, Kogoro Mouri himself, as the person involved, finally showed his agility. Kogoro Mouri suddenly sprang up from the ground with a whoosh and dashed to the street by the door, starting to hail a taxi...
"Do you think his skin is too thick, or has this perverted uncle just gotten used to falling?" The little fox immediately looked at Mu Tianyuan, somewhat bewildered, and asked for his opinion on Kogoro Mouri's actions. Most people wouldn't react like this old man after such a fall, would they? Even if his heart was filled with joy, he wouldn't be this calm, would he?! Look at how nimble he was when he sprang up just now. If you didn't know, you'd think nothing happened to him!
"Who knows," Mu Tianyuan replied, walking down the stairs, his mouth twitching. This question was truly hard for him to answer, because he himself wanted to know what was going on...
At this moment, Ran, curious about her eccentric father's behavior, began to ask him the reason for his "illness." Uncle Mouri, while gesticulating wildly and hailing a taxi, excitedly began to explain the reason for his "onset." However, Mu Tianyuan didn't have time for the details at the moment, because he discovered something that surprised him!
He saw a child wearing glasses, dressed in a suit similar to Uncle Mouri's, standing beside Ran!
After staring blankly at the child for a long time, Mu Tianyuan's myriad thoughts finally converged into one: Uncle Mouri, your son-in-law cheat is finally online...
