Although Conan was fine in the end, he had initially given Ran and the others a huge scare. Now, seeing that Conan was perfectly fine, except for being licked by that perverted dog, everyone felt relieved. However, despite their relief, they still walked over. The owner of the house, watching Conan happily playing with the perverted dog, mused, "I really didn't expect this. You know, Jumboman usually isn't that close to outsiders, besides family members."

Hearing the owner's words, Conan, who already felt something was off about the whole incident, immediately reacted. Conan intended to subtly hint to Uncle Mouri, but before Conan could speak, Muten-en approached the butler, carrying the little fox, with a half-smile. "Mr. Butler, if I remember correctly, you previously said that your master's daughter was kidnapped in the courtyard, right?"

"That's right." The butler felt a little uneasy seeing Muten-en's half-smile, but he ultimately steeled himself and nodded. Muten-en turned his head to a maid and asked, "Then, madam, I heard you say earlier that you rushed out after hearing the butler shout 'The young lady has been kidnapped,' correct?"

The maid nodded, confirming this. Muten-en then smiled and said, "Aside from that, did you hear any other sounds?"

"No." The maid shook her head very affirmatively. Hearing the maid's words, Muten-en smiled at the butler and said, "Then, Mr. Butler, why didn't your master's daughter's... uh, this dog named Jumboman, bark when she was kidnapped in the courtyard? That gentleman just now... uh, that gentleman said Jumboman isn't close to outsiders."

As Muten-en finished speaking, the old butler's forehead immediately broke out in a sweat. Then he stammered, "Th-that's because..."

"No need to say anything," Uncle Mouri reacted at this moment. He immediately waved his hand, interrupting the butler's words, then leaned his face close to the butler. "There were many vague points in your previous testimony. In fact, there were no men in black, right? Mr. Aso."

Then, before the butler could say anything, Uncle Mouri grabbed the sweating butler's collar with a strong aura and said, "To be precise, you should be called the suspect who kidnapped the young lady, right?"

The owner of the house, whose name Muten-en hadn't bothered to remember, had already been suspicious after hearing Muten-en's questions. Now, hearing Uncle Mouri's words, he immediately bristled with anger: "Aso, you bastard!"

The butler was also a character. Seeing that the truth was exposed, he immediately acted very straightforwardly... He knelt down in front of the owner, and he knelt with such decisiveness! Then the butler kowtowed to the enraged owner and said remorsefully, "I'm truly very sorry, Master."

Seeing the butler confess, the owner immediately questioned loudly, "Why did you do such a thing?! Who instructed you?"

"No, I did it all by myself!" The butler immediately waved his hands and replied when he heard the owner's words. Uncle Mouri, who was standing by with his hands in his pockets, asked, "Then where is the young lady now?"

The owner, who had been furious that his trusted butler had kidnapped his own daughter, now nervously looked at the butler. He could ask about the reasons later; the key was to find his precious daughter first!

Since the butler had already revealed everything, he no longer hid anything. Upon hearing Uncle Mouri's words, he immediately stated that the young lady was currently in a nearby hotel. Upon hearing the butler's answer, Muten-en's thoughts immediately went astray for a moment, but this thought just rolled around in his mind for a bit before being tossed aside. Then, he held the little fox and smiled, "Uncle Mouri, it seems this case has been solved."

Immediately after, Muten-en's expression changed as if he were changing faces, and he looked at Uncle Mouri with an expression of admiration: "Uncle Mouri is truly Japan's greatest detective. He solved such a complex case in just a few words, it's simply amazing!"

Upon hearing Muten-en's words, Uncle Mouri's formerly serious expression suddenly changed. Then, Uncle Mouri half-knelt on the ground, striking a pose with one hand on his hip and one finger pointing to the sky, "Heh heh, hahaha! That's right! As long as I, Great Detective Kogoro Mouri, take action, any difficult case will be solved immediately!"

This child, Xiao Mu, is really too sensible. Not only is he willing to drink with me, he's also willing to accompany me to see beautiful women. And he even knows how to respect me. This is so much better than that damned high school detective, Xiao Mu!

Conan didn't know that Uncle Mouri was comparing him to Muten-en, that unscrupulous flatterer. However, Conan was truly unhappy at this moment. With a deadpan expression, Conan looked at Muten-en, who was laughing with the fox. Damn it, I'm the high school detective! I was just carefully gathering clues! Why did this guy, who disappeared into a corner a minute into the case, get the credit instead?

And the little fox was also secretly muttering to Muten-en, "Why did you give the credit to that perverted uncle? We discovered all of this! Are you planning to be that perverted uncle's cheat?"

"I'm not interested in snatching Kudo's rice bowl." Muten-en said with a smile, stroking the little fox's fluffy head. The little fox was puzzled by this. "If that's the case, then what do you gain?"

The little fox expressed its unhappiness. This was clearly discovered by the two of them, so why did Muten-en let that silly, perverted uncle take the credit in the end?

"What do I gain? Look at that Kudo kid's expression. Don't you think it's interesting?" Muten-en said with a laugh, then he glanced at Conan, who had a deadpan expression, muttering, "I'm so unhappy, Ran-neechan, come comfort me with your warm embrace." The little fox turned to look at Conan's expression, then turned back to Muten-en in disbelief and said, "You did all this just for that? Just to see that kid look like his wife ran off with someone else?"

"That's right! That's right! It's too interesting to see that arrogant Kudo kid get stumped! It's absolutely addictive!" Muten-en replied happily. The little fox, hearing his cheerful reply, was speechless. "Are you a bit too bored?"

"Otherwise?" Muten-en said with a chuckle, stroking the little fox's head. Then Muten-en added, "Alright, I admit that besides being a bit bored, the more crucial point is that even if we didn't give the credit to Uncle Mouri, we wouldn't gain anything, would we? So, it's better to just give it to Uncle Mouri as a favor in exchange..."

The little fox heard Muten-en's words and was about to retort that she didn't think that perverted uncle's favor was worth anything, but before the little fox could speak, she heard Muten-en continue, "...And then in the future, when we go to their house for free meals, we can be even more justified."

"...That makes sense! At that time, we can just bring our bowls and even a pot when we go home!" The little fox immediately swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue upon hearing this. Instead, she seriously nodded at Muten-en. Although that perverted uncle's favor wasn't worth much, who cared as long as he had a good daughter! Ran's cooking was top-notch! Just for his daughter's cooking, the little fox thought Muten-en's decision was too wise!

It was fortunate that Conan didn't know the reason why this person and this fox had, without any sense of honor, abandoned an opportunity to show off, all for the sake of finding a long-term place to get free meals. Otherwise, Conan would have surely jumped up in rage, knowing that he loved to show off!

Just then, the happy Uncle Mouri was slapped in the face. A maid suddenly ran over with a phone. The maid handed the phone to the owner, and after the owner picked up the phone, he heard a cold male voice ask, "Is the 300 million yen ready?"

Upon hearing this, the owner immediately gasped in excitement, then loudly said into the phone, "Who are you?!"

"I'm the one who kidnapped your daughter." The owner was stunned when he heard the cold male voice from the other end of the phone, then he shouted into the phone, "How is that possible! The culprit has already been caught!"

However, what the man didn't expect was that he then heard his daughter's voice from the phone. After hearing the little girl's voice, everyone knew that things seemed troublesome. Uncle Mouri even grabbed the butler and asked him if he had other accomplices, but the butler was also stunned at the moment and repeatedly stated that he had no accomplices at all. Seeing the butler say this, Uncle Mouri didn't have time to ask anything else. He immediately leaned close to the astonished owner, who was holding the phone, and whispered, "Try to stall for time, and try to find out their exact location."

Uncle Mouri had thought that his voice wouldn't be heard by the kidnapper on the other end of the phone, but who knew that the phone's pickup quality was so excellent? Just as the owner subconsciously repeated the four words "exact location," the kidnapper on the other end of the phone said, "Who's next to you? Is it the police?"

"No, no, no, it's not the police..." The owner also knew that if the kidnapper knew there were police, his daughter might be in danger, so he repeatedly shook his head and denied it.

Actually, the man wasn't lying. Although Uncle Mouri used to be a police officer, he wasn't one now!
