Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Is It So Hard To Cheat?
After Uncle Mouri got into the taxi and gave a destination, he started giggling foolishly by himself. Mu Tianyuan sat in the front passenger seat, holding the little fox and sipping his beer. But his attention was entirely focused on the child who had rushed into the car as soon as he heard the client's daughter was kidnapped by a man in black.
Mu Tianyuan drank his beer while watching the mini Shinichi Kudo in the rearview mirror, who was sitting between Uncle Mouri (who was giggling foolishly about something) and Ran. The little fox had also been staring at Shinichi Kudo since getting in the car. At this moment, she finally spoke: "He's actually that brat Shinichi Kudo, isn't he? He really did shrink. Although you told me before, it's still a bit hard to believe seeing it live!"
"You recognized him?" Mu Tianyuan asked, sipping his beer, after hearing the little fox's words. The little fox wagged her tail and said, "Yeah, if his scent hadn't stayed the same, I really wouldn't have guessed."
"I really wish Ran had a nose as good as yours." Hearing the little fox's words, Mu Tianyuan remembered that the little fox had the ability to judge by smell. Mu Tianyuan immediately shook his head with some regret. If Ran had the same ability as the little fox, Shinichi Kudo wouldn't have so many benefits!
Then Mu Tianyuan suddenly muttered, "I never thought this guy would actually shrink. It's a bit sudden, huh? Hmm, I need to drink a couple more sips to calm my nerves."
"Drink a couple more sips to calm your nerves? Are you serious?" The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You already knew he would turn into a kid, so why are you acting surprised now?"
"I knew he would shrink, but I didn't expect him to shrink now." Mu Tianyuan replied, taking another sip of beer. Then Mu Tianyuan said gloomily, "Damn it, I thought I could use the ability to travel between two worlds to carefully memorize the plot when I went back home, and then steal Shinichi's show. Who knew that as soon as I looked at anything related to the Conan plot, I'd instantly be back! What's going on with that?"
At first, Mu Tianyuan had planned well. He could go home, right? While he was home, he could go online and carefully memorize the plot. After all, he had been watching Conan for some years. Even the episode he was watching before he transmited was a newly released Mandarin version. As for the earlier plot, he had long forgotten it. Moreover, so many cases happened in Conan. If he didn't take notes, how could he remember the details of every case?
After waiting for a month with great anticipation to go home, because he hadn't been home for that month, Mu Tianyuan first ran wild in every room of his house. Then he noticed that time hadn't changed, which made him even happier.
After being happy for a while, Mu Tianyuan remembered his plan. He immediately rushed to the computer, intending to set the Conan episode that was playing back to the very beginning. But it was fine when he didn't touch the computer. The problem was, when he clicked on the first episode, intending to watch from the beginning, things happened. As soon as he clicked, the advertisement hadn't even appeared yet, and Mu Tianyuan saw the video website suddenly close.
Mu Tianyuan thought it was a computer problem or something. Before he could figure it out, he felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was back in the Conan world...
At that time, Mu Tianyuan was dumbfounded. Even more dumbfounded was the little fox. This guy had just picked up an apple from Mu Tianyuan's house and was about to take a bite, but then he suddenly returned! They returned, but the apple didn't come with them! The little fox almost bit her own paw with that one bite!
By the way, this time, Mu Tianyuan's trip back home lasted a total of six minutes and fifteen seconds, of which six minutes and thirteen seconds were spent running wild at home...
Mu Tianyuan, after failing to understand what happened, began to ask the little fox, but the little fox also didn't know anything. Finally, after tragically waiting another month, Mu Tianyuan returned home again. When this guy tried to execute his plan again, he once again returned to the Conan world! And this time, he made significant progress, taking one minute and eight seconds...
After returning to the Conan world again, Mu Tianyuan was a little unhappy. He could only go home once a month, and these two trips combined took less than eight minutes! He had planned to chat with his parents and express his longing after they returned from visiting relatives!
After calming down, Mu Tianyuan and the little fox did some research and found that both times, Mu Tianyuan returned with a whoosh whenever he wanted to watch the plot. So, was it possible that it was caused by Mu Tianyuan wanting to preview it beforehand?
When Mu Tianyuan returned home for the third time, Mu Tianyuan simply stopped thinking about watching the plot. This time, it was good. Mu Tianyuan stayed at home perfectly fine until his parents returned from outside. Upon seeing his parents, Mu Tianyuan was so excited that his parents even thought he had gone crazy. Otherwise, why would a child be so excited after only seeing them for at most nine hours, an afternoon and half a night?
After finally stabilizing his emotions, Mu Tianyuan chatted with his parents for a while, then happily ran back to his room. Everything was fine, but after returning to his room, Mu Tianyuan started looking for trouble again. He wanted to prove whether his and the little fox's guess was true, so this guy once again opened the video, and then he transmigrated again...
After that, Mu Tianyuan did several more experiments, such as searching for text summaries of each episode online, or asking friends about the plot. But every time he thought about it, it was fine.
As soon as he was about to execute it, he would be sent back with a whoosh. After all this trouble, half a year passed. Later, Mu Tianyuan completely gave up. He simply didn't try to cheat after returning home. Then, after living peacefully for half a month, he was about to go to the restroom when he was sent back to the Conan world with a whoosh...
After all this trouble, Mu Tianyuan finally understood. As long as he didn't watch the Conan plot, he could stay at home for a full half a month. But as soon as he tried to cheat, he would be sent back with a whoosh immediately!
Since he couldn't cheat, Mu Tianyuan naturally couldn't know exactly when Shinichi would turn into Conan. He only remembered that Shinichi encountered a murder case when he went to some bikini park with Ran, then he followed Gin, was force-fed poison, and finally transformed. But the problem was, he hadn't heard Ran say anything about going to the park! This sudden transformation truly caught him off guard!
Just as Mu Tianyuan was silently muttering to the little fox, Uncle Mouri, who had been giggling foolishly since getting in the car, suddenly said as if no one else was around, "Criminal cases are calling my name again, great detective Kogoro Mouri! Hahahaha!"
Seeing Uncle Mouri's oblivious demeanor, the little fox silently said, "You know what, I always thought you were the biggest comedian in the world, but now it seems I was wrong. This perverted uncle seems even more of a comedian than you..."
"Heh heh, should I say something now that I've lost my title as the world's number one comedian?" Mu Tianyuan replied with a tight-lipped smile, hearing the little fox's serious tone. Just then, Kogoro Mouri suddenly looked at Ran, who was sitting next to him, and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you in the car?!"
Ran, who had originally been rolling her dead fish eyes because Uncle Mouri kept giggling foolishly, immediately shouted, "Because this child suddenly ran into the car by himself!"
This is his real father! He didn't even notice that such a big living creature was sitting next to him for so long!
Kudo, or rather Conan, who was sitting in the middle with dead fish eyes, heard Ran's words and immediately put on an innocent act, cheering, "Car! Car! Wow!"
Although Shinichi Kudo wanted to act young and cute, in the eyes of Mu Tianyuan and the little fox, who already knew the truth, this guy was now a genuine comedian...
For a moment, the way the little fox and Mu Tianyuan looked at Conan became strange, especially the little fox, who kept saying, "Here's another one to compete with you for the comedian throne..."
Hearing the little fox's words, Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes, then pretended to be unaware and asked Ran before Uncle Mouri did, "Ran, where did you pick up this foolish-looking kid?"
Conan: "..." Damn you! You're the foolish-looking one! I'm a famous high school detective, alright! What right do you, the guy who's last in your grade, have to call me foolish-looking?!
Before Ran could say anything, Mu Tianyuan looked at Ran with a serious expression and said, "Ran, I know you're kind-hearted, but this is a child, not a puppy or a kitten. Is it appropriate for you to just pick him up? His parents will be worried. Hurry up and find a trash can and throw him in!"
Conan: "..." Throw your sister! You knew I was a kid, and you actually told Ran to throw me away? And in a trash can, no less?!
Ran, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, looked at him helplessly and said, "Xiao Mu, don't joke around."
Then Ran looked down at Conan and said gently, "Conan, don't be scared. This big brother is not a bad person; he just likes to joke."
Conan: "...Heh heh." I know. This guy, besides messing with me for no reason, is really pretty good in every other way...
