Detective Conan: I Understand Beasts Language

"Uh..." Hearing the little fox, Mu Tianyuan instantly reacted. Then he looked at the dog and said, "Sis, it's like this. Your little owner was taken from this courtyard. Can you tell me what happened then? For example, how the people who took her entered, their approximate age, any obvious features, and most importantly, do you still remember their scent?"

"Tani Kristal wasn't taken," the dog shook its head quite vigorously upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words.

"What?! You said she wasn't taken?" Mu Tianyuan was startled to hear this, then quickly pressed, "What happened? Tell me clearly."

"That's right, Tani Kristal wasn't taken. She went out with Butler Masuo just now, and then after Butler Masuo came back, he started yelling something like 'Oh no, Young Miss has been taken!'" The dog wagged its tail as it answered, then mumbled, "I was wondering too, since Tani Kristal went out with Butler Masuo, why would Butler Masuo say she was taken?"

Mu Tianyuan and the little fox exchanged glances upon hearing the dog's words. Then Mu Tianyuan rubbed his chin and muttered softly, "Tsk, the little girl who was kidnapped went out with the first person who discovered it, and the first person who discovered it came back yelling that the Young Miss was taken. This is getting interesting."

The little fox also realized something was amiss and immediately nodded seriously, then used a private channel to tell Mu Tianyuan, "This is indeed interesting. Could that old butler be crying wolf?"

"Hard to say, but we still need to ask more questions." Mu Tianyuan didn't jump to conclusions so rashly. Instead, he carefully inquired with the dog about Butler Masuo and the little girl named Tani Kristal. After getting some information from the dog, Mu Tianyuan and the little fox exchanged glances again. Then the little fox tilted its head and said, "Since that butler Masuo usually dotes on the little girl who was kidnapped, how could he possibly kidnap her?"

"Who knows. But since we know the butler did it, why don't we just ask him directly?" Mu Tianyuan shook his head and stood up. The little fox immediately rolled its eyes and said, "Do you think he'd admit it? Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't admit it without evidence!"

Hearing the little fox, Mu Tianyuan nodded seriously, "Yes, I know. For example, last time I came home, and the roasted chicken my mom bought for dinner was gone, you kept claiming you had nothing to do with it. In the end, when my mom pressed the issue, I had to take the blame."

"It really had nothing to do with me! Why do you say I did it? Do you have evidence?!" The little fox's eyes darted around as it stubbornly argued. Before Mu Tianyuan could say anything, the little fox said seriously, "This isn't about the roasted chicken! Be serious, don't forget we have important business! Tell me, what if the old man doesn't admit it?"

Hearing the little fox, Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes, but didn't dwell on the roasted chicken issue. Instead, he said, "It's fine if he doesn't admit it. We still have her." Saying this, Mu Tianyuan pointed to the dog, who was now curiously watching him.

The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan, immediately rolled its eyes and said, "Excuse me, what are you going to do? Are you planning to lead this dog over and threaten the old man that if he doesn't tell the truth, you'll have this dog bite him? Or are you going to tell them you have a dog license? That all this information came from this dog? First, let's not even talk about whether they'll believe you. I just want to ask you, if you really tell them this came from the dog, do you think they'll kindly send you to a mental hospital, and even get you a VIP bed?"

"Although my character is pure and kind, can you stop thinking my intelligence is so naive and innocent?" Mu Tianyuan also rolled his eyes and retorted without hesitation. Then Mu Tianyuan pointed at the dog and said to the little fox, "Look at this sis, her face is covered in protective fur and she looks fierce. Now look at her build, she's triple your size. Do you think she's a pushover? If she were led onto the street, do you think anyone would believe she makes a living by being cute, like a Poodle or a Chihuahua? If a stranger suddenly broke into the house and tried to snatch her owner in front of her, what do you think her reaction would be? Even if it's not to prevent no one from cleaning her poop later, she'd at least have to bark a few times to call for help, right?"

Then Mu Tianyuan asked with some curiosity, "By the way, I have an ID card, but what the hell is a dog license? When did I even get one of those?" If he remembered correctly, that was for dogs, right? But he was a human, where would he get a dog license from?!

"When humans testify, they can be called witnesses, or human evidence, right?" The little fox wagged its tail and asked. Mu Tianyuan nodded, indicating no problem. Seeing that Mu Tianyuan had no objections, the little fox immediately said, "But if you're planning to have this dog testify for you now, can it be considered 'dog evidence'?"

"...No problem!" Mu Tianyuan pondered for a moment, then wholeheartedly agreed with the little fox's statement. Then Mu Tianyuan added, "Now you understand what I mean. Do you think bringing out this sis still won't explain the problem?"

"Hmm... I mostly agree with what you just said, except for one point," the little fox nodded upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words. Mu Tianyuan then asked curiously, "Which point do you disagree with?"

The little fox looked at Mu Tianyuan with a serious expression and said, "It's about your 'pure and kind' point."

"...That's because you don't understand me yet. You only see my wild and unrestrained exterior, but you don't see my pure and kind heart," Mu Tianyuan replied after a moment of silence, his face etched with a look of weariness. The little fox, however, shook its head and said, "No, you're wrong. I understand you very well. That's why I know your outward wildness is just to cover up your inner debauchery and repressed desires. And not just any kind of debauchery; it's extremely debauched and extremely repressed!"

"Can we still have a proper conversation?! You chicken-stealing fox spirit, don't you know the simple truth that you don't hit below the belt or reveal someone's shortcomings when cursing?! Is my debauchery and repressed desires bothering you? My debauchery is unique, and my repressed desires are still captivating. So what?!" Mu Tianyuan immediately yelled in exasperation. The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan bring up the chicken-stealing again, also yelled, "What's wrong with a fox stealing chickens?! Haven't you read books?! This is our fox tradition!"

Mu Tianyuan: "..."

Little Fox: "..."

After a long silence, Mu Tianyuan said seriously, "How about we call this a draw?"

The little fox also said seriously, "Agreed!" They realized that it seemed their bickering had inadvertently exposed too much, and in the end, neither of them could gain an advantage...

Because Mu Tianyuan and the little fox communicated through a private channel, the dog, who had been squatting nearby for a long time, only saw the human and the fox making expressions. After squatting for a long time, the dog finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Hey, are you okay?"

I finally met a rare human I could communicate with, and I was planning to introduce him to my friends to show off. But now, what is this guy doing here? Has he gone crazy?

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about the strange circumstances surrounding your little owner's kidnapping." Mu Tianyuan immediately shook his head upon hearing the dog. Then Mu Tianyuan added, "Alright, sis, you're busy. I'm going over to ask that butler what's going on."

With that, Mu Tianyuan turned and walked towards the few people in the courtyard. Just then, Conan suddenly ran over, chasing a pink ball. Seeing this, Mu Tianyuan stuck out his foot and stopped the ball. Then he was about to bend down to pick up the ball and return it to Conan. But Conan, despite his short legs, was quite fast. Before Mu Tianyuan could even bend down, Conan had already run over. Then, picking up the ball, he looked at Mu Tianyuan with an innocent expression and a smile, saying, "Thank you, Little Mu... Brother..."

Although Conan looked innocent on the surface, his heart was depressed and frantic at this moment. Damn it, shrinking really isn't good. At the very least, my titles are at a disadvantage!

Seeing Kudo Shinichi turn into Conan and become so well-behaved, Mu Tianyuan immediately intended to pat his head as a reward. But just as this thought popped into Mu Tianyuan's mind, the tomboy dog suddenly pounced towards Conan. Ran, who had been watching Conan from the side, was startled and cried out in horror, "Conan!"

Mu Tianyuan also noticed this situation and immediately shouted excitedly, "Mercy!"

Mu Tianyuan had originally planned to use his "Face-Face Fruit" ability, believing that the dog would definitely give him face. However, Mu Tianyuan then realized he might have been a bit redundant, because the dog was now staring at Conan, who was skillfully bouncing the ball, and constantly sticking out its tongue. Not only that, the dog was also taking advantage of Conan! Its tongue directly smeared slobber all over Conan's small face!

Mu Tianyuan: "...That's disgusting to watch..."
