In some aspects, Uncle Mouri was quite right: Conan was a grim reaper to others, but for him, he was a lucky star. Indeed, on the third day Conan was at his house, Uncle Mouri received a new commission.

And earning money was secondary; more importantly, it gave Uncle Mouri a chance to get up close with his idol. This client was Yoko Okino, Uncle Mouri's favorite.

However, at that time, Mu Tianyuan was at home with Little Fox, each guarding several fried chicken drumsticks, gnawing on them, and discussing the academic question of whether roasted chicken or stewed chicken was more delicious. So, he didn't get to see Yoko Okino herself, who had utterly captivated Uncle Mouri.

Mu Tianyuan only learned about the previous day's events from Uncle Mouri's mouth the next day. In summary, Uncle Mouri had originally intended to investigate a stalker but then encountered

Yoko Okino's ultimate suicidal boyfriend. Relying on his supremely powerful, yet bafflingly self-unaware, deductive skills, he ultimately uncovered the truth and cleared Yoko Okino's name.

Of course, this is after removing the countless exaggerated adjectives from Uncle Mouri's words, praising how beautiful and charming Yoko Okino was, and how wise Uncle Mouri was. Otherwise, it would be at least 350,000 words long!

Mu Tianyuan wasn't particularly interested in missing the memorable event of Kudo Shinichi's first display of his grim reaper aura after turning into Conan, successfully captivating a soul.

He believed that wherever that Conan kid was, dead people were definitely commonplace and nothing to marvel at! In the future, if he wanted to see dead people, he just needed to take Conan for a walk, and he'd at least encounter one! If Conan performed well, three to five deaths along the way would be normal!

A few days later, Mu Tianyuan, taking advantage of a holiday, planned to go for a stroll with Little Fox. After all, being cooped up at home all day wasn't good. It was better to go out and see the vibrant young ladies on the streets. After wandering for half a day, Mu Tianyuan carried a large bag of drinks back.

As he walked, he came to a place called the Touto Art Museum. Looking at the bustling museum, Little Fox, squatting on Mu Tianyuan's shoulder, curiously asked: "Why are there so many people here today? Is it a market day, or are they selling roasted chicken here today?"

Little Fox and Mu Tianyuan had never been inside this place before, but they had passed it many times. If Little Fox remembered correctly, although this museum wasn't exactly deserted, it didn't have many visitors. At least, Little Fox had never seen so many people during a holiday.

"No, it seems they're holding some kind of exhibition," Mu Tianyuan shook his head, then pointed at a sign in front of the museum that read "World Secret Treasure Exhibition" in Chinese: "Look, it says so there."

Speaking of this, Mu Tianyuan remembered the gossip he got from Sonoko earlier, so he added: "I heard that they're exhibiting valuable items from all over the world here these two days."

"Is that so? It's boring if you can only look and not take." Little Fox instantly lost interest upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words. But Mu Tianyuan then said: "By the way, if we were to rob this museum right now, we'd probably be living a life of luxury for the rest of our lives, and the next."

"Hey, there's a supermarket over there. Go buy two catties of crispy green beans and a bottle of chili sauce, and you can live a life of luxury right now." Little Fox heard Mu Tianyuan's words and immediately pointed her tail at a convenience store across the street, replying to Mu Tianyuan. Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes immediately: "You still remember that?"

Mu Tianyuan had used that line to tease Little Fox before, but who knew it would be returned to him in just a few days. Then Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes and said: "But even if I go now, I'll only be able to eat spicy food. As for living a life of luxury, this desolate place doesn't sell crispy green beans!"

"That's because you haven't found them. If embarrassing videos are sold everywhere, how could there be no crispy green beans?" Little Fox replied to Mu Tianyuan's words. Then Little Fox suddenly patted Mu Tianyuan's shoulder and looked at the museum's courtyard, saying: "Look, isn't that Conan that brat?"

"Hm?" Hearing Little Fox's words, Mu Tianyuan stopped and looked in the direction Little Fox pointed. Indeed, it was Conan that brat, with his few companions, in the museum courtyard.

After Mu Tianyuan confirmed it was indeed Conan, his first reaction was to look left and right, then he said seriously: "I feel a deathly aura here. According to my deduction, someone is very likely to die again. How about we run?"

"Your senses are really sharp, aren't they?" Hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, Little Fox immediately rolled her eyes and retorted: "Deathly aura and 'according to your deduction, someone is going to die again'? How can people die so easily in such a peaceful place? I don't even know where your deduction comes from."

"What do you know? I have scientific basis, okay? Wherever that Conan kid is, 95% of the time someone will die, and 4.9% of the time someone will have bad luck. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. I bet something will happen soon." Mu Tianyuan, seeing Little Fox disbelieving him, immediately glared at Little Fox and stated his reasons. Little Fox immediately rolled her eyes and said: "Is he really that spooky?"

Mu Tianyuan, seeing Little Fox's disbelief, looked seriously at Little Fox and said: "Listen to me, don't disbelieve. You should know that those who dared to question that Conan kid now have three zhang high grass on their graves.

Don't forget, I've watched Conan. According to my incomplete statistics, the people who have been cursed to death by Conan are enough to form a standard regiment."

Little Fox didn't know how terrifying Conan was. She immediately swayed her tail and said: "I still don't believe it. Didn't you just say we should bet? Then let's bet on those roasted chickens we just bought. I don't believe he can go out for a walk and still run into trouble."

And at that moment, Conan also saw Mu Tianyuan standing at the entrance of the museum courtyard. After all, someone wandering around with a fluffy fox on his shoulder was too conspicuous. Upon seeing Mu Tianyuan, Conan instinctively waved and greeted him: "Brother Mu..."

Conan stated that it was truly inconvenient to be small. Every time he saw this guy, he had to call him "Brother"!

Damn it, I've been discovered. I was planning to sneak away before anything happened. Mu Tianyuan, seeing Conan greeting him, waved back at Conan with a faint smile while silently whispering to Little Fox through their private channel. Then Mu Tianyuan, walking towards Conan, said: "Conan, are you here with your classmates to see the exhibition?"

"Yes," Conan and his companions came before Mu Tianyuan.

Little Fox's cuteness was undeniable. Even the mature Aunt Eri Kisaki couldn't resist Little Fox's charm, let alone this group of brats. Seeing Little Fox, these mischievous kids immediately got excited.

Just as Conan was about to chat with Mu Tianyuan, Ayumi Yoshida, who was with Conan, blinked her starry eyes and pointed at Mu Tianyuan's shoulder in surprise, saying: "Wow, what a cute puppy!"

"Yes, yes! What a cute puppy!" Genta, who was nearby, and Mitsuhiko, were also conquered by Little Fox's cute appearance. They immediately started chattering. Originally, Little Fox couldn't be bothered with these brats, but upon hearing the three brats' way of addressing her, Little Fox immediately glared at the three, baring her teeth.

While emitting threatening growls, Little Fox said to Mu Tianyuan via private channel: "What puppy?! I really want to bite them to death! Do you think I can bite them to death?"

"No, no, no, Senior, calm down." Upon hearing the little loli Ayumi's words, Mu Tianyuan knew this was bad. Little Fox hated being called a dog the most. Now, as expected, Little Fox had exploded.

Mu Tianyuan immediately reached out and stroked Little Fox's head to calm her down. Then Mu Tianyuan continued to persuade her: "You're such a big person, why argue with a few brats? Alright, alright, let's not be angry."

"Someone calls you a dog, and you're happy about it?!" Little Fox retorted irritably. This is absolutely a racial issue that cannot be conceded!

"Then I'd definitely beat them to death." Hearing Little Fox's example, Mu Tianyuan answered without thinking. Little Fox immediately grumbled: "Well, there you go!"

Little Fox had thought Mu Tianyuan would understand her feelings, but who knew Mu Tianyuan's next sentence almost made Little Fox furious. Mu Tianyuan looked seriously at Little Fox and said: "But it's been so long, shouldn't you be used to it by now?"

Over the past year, Mu Tianyuan had dragged Little Fox everywhere. Anyone who saw her would exclaim, "What a cute puppy!" Over this year, there must have been at least three thousand, if not five thousand, such comments. How could Little Fox still be so angry?

Little Fox: "...I'll kill you! Can this be gotten used to?!"

Mu Tianyuan actually knew his words were offending her, so before Little Fox could take action to punish him, Mu Tianyuan immediately pulled Little Fox from his shoulder, then held her in his arms, stroking her back, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said it wrong. Later, all the roasted chickens are yours. Consider it my apology to you."

Little Fox snorted coldly upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words and stopped paying attention to him.

Mu Tianyuan saw this situation and knew that the matter was resolved. He then looked at Ayumi and the other two, who had recoiled several steps in fear due to Little Fox's sudden outburst, and said with a smile: "She's not a puppy, you know. She's a fox. So don't call her a puppy anymore, otherwise—she'll eat you."

Conan: "..." Damn it, you're scaring the kids, aren't you?!
