"Roasted chicken, roasted chicken! Hurry up and give me my roasted chickens!" As soon as they got home, the little fox impatiently chattered at Mu Tianyuan. Before Mu Tianyuan could even move, the little fox sprang onto the bag Mu Tianyuan had casually placed on the coffee table and began rummaging through it. As she rummaged, the little fox excitedly mumbled, "Hehehe, all the roasted chickens are mine! I'm going to eat them all in one go!"

Previously, Mu Tianyuan always limited her to two roasted chickens a day. This time, she wanted to eat six in one go!

"Aren't you afraid of bursting?" Mu Tianyuan said, turning on the TV and rolling his eyes in complaint. Until this moment, Mu Tianyuan was still unwilling. Damn it, why didn't anything happen? How could nothing happen with Conan around? This isn't scientific! Especially since his attachment was also there, and this combination didn't cause any trouble, that's even more unscientific!

"I'd be happy to burst from eating my roasted chickens!" The little fox said, happily pawing at the bag.

Mu Tianyuan helplessly rolled his eyes. Just then, a news report suddenly came from the TV: "The accomplices of Dino Cabana, the leader of the Italian bandit group arrested yesterday, are still at large. The fifteen thousand Maple Leaf Gold Coins they stole are still missing. These gold coins are worth six hundred million yen and were stolen a year ago..."

The rest of the news was just about how they were stolen from some bank, how hard the police were working to catch them, and finally, it mentioned that one of the remaining three bandit accomplices was Japanese. However, all of that was no longer important. What was important was that after seeing this news, Mu Tianyuan suddenly remembered something. Immediately, Mu Tianyuan jumped up: "Holy crap!"

The little fox, who was just pulling out a roasted chicken and hadn't even taken a bite, was startled by Mu Tianyuan's action. Then, the little fox arched its back and nervously scanned its surroundings, saying, "What is it? What happened? Is something wrong?"

"Do you remember that treasure map?!" Mu Tianyuan darted to the little fox, asking excitedly. The little fox nodded, "I remember, what about it?"

"That's a real treasure map! We're rich!" Mu Tianyuan picked up the little fox and yelled excitedly. The little fox, however, rolled her eyes, "No way? You don't actually believe it, do you? Don't tell me you got infected by those brats. That's clearly a child's doodle. If that's really a treasure map, I'll eat it. If you're really desperate for money, then later, we'll go rob that dilapidated art museum that's having some exhibition but doesn't sell roasted chickens, but only if we don't get killed."

Treasure map my foot! If that thing was a treasure map, then she could draw thousands of non-repeating ones for Mu Tianyuan! Even if, taking ten thousand steps back, that treasure map was real, the little fox thought the treasure would be nothing more than a child's toy!

"I'm not joking! I'm serious! The treasure in that treasure map is what's being talked about on TV right now!" Mu Tianyuan said excitedly to the little fox, pointing at the TV. At first, Mu Tianyuan didn't take it seriously. Even when he saw the treasure map, he didn't pay it any mind. But when he saw the news about the Maple Leaf Gold Coins on TV, Mu Tianyuan suddenly remembered a plot from his memory: Conan and his friends found a pile of gold coins using a crumpled piece of paper! Although he couldn't remember the exact details, the gold coins were real! Thinking about this, how could Mu Tianyuan not be excited?

"You mean the treasure is a pile of fish?" The little fox heard Mu Tianyuan's words, turned her head to look at the TV, then looked at Mu Tianyuan somewhat speechlessly. Then, the little fox flicked her tail, her expression very strange, and said, "I want to ask you something, are you actually a cat in disguise? Otherwise, why would you consider fish as treasure? But that's not right, don't you hate eating fish the most? Why are you suddenly so interested in fish?"

"Ah?" Mu Tianyuan was stunned by the little fox's words. When the little fox saw Mu Tianyuan's bewildered expression, she pointed at the TV with her paw and said, "Isn't the TV talking about fish? Alright, hurry up and put me down, don't stop me from eating chicken!" Mu Tianyuan turned his head to look at the TV and found that the previous news had already passed. The news now was about the development of the fishing industry and how fishermen, having caught a large pile of fish, were full of hope for their future lives...

Seeing this news, Mu Tianyuan put the little fox back on the coffee table and shook his head, "Not this news, the previous one!"

"What did it say?" The little fox flicked her tail, came to the roasted chicken, and asked casually. Then, the little fox, looking happy, was about to start eating. But just as the little fox opened her mouth wide to take a big bite out of the roasted chicken, she heard Mu Tianyuan say, "Gold coins! Fifteen thousand gold coins! Gold coins worth six hundred million yen!"

Upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, the little fox, who had been indifferent, suddenly perked up her ears. Then, the little fox turned her head and looked at Mu Tianyuan, dumbfounded, "How much did you say?!"

"Six hundred million!" Mu Tianyuan took a deep breath and repeated to the little fox. The little fox also took a deep breath, then mumbled to herself, "So much..."

"Mm! So do you think this counts as treasure?" Mu Tianyuan asked the little fox, trying hard to calm himself down. The little fox immediately nodded vigorously, then looked at Mu Tianyuan and said, "How much would that be in RMB? Forget it, just tell me how many roasted chickens that would buy!"

"I don't know! But I know it's more than enough to buy that roasted chicken shop and several chicken farms! So, as long as we find those gold coins, we'll be rich!" Mu Tianyuan couldn't possibly calculate that. So he could only give the little fox a general answer. The little fox wasn't unhappy about not getting an exact answer. Instead, the little fox sprang onto Mu Tianyuan's head and started chattering, "What are we waiting for?! Let's go! Let's hurry and get back our roasted chickens! No, it's gold coins! So many gold coins, how can we be at ease if we don't get them back? What if someone steals them? Quick, quick, quick! Let's go!"

The little fox was even more dominant than Mu Tianyuan, directly treating those gold coins as theirs...

"Wait, wait!" Mu Tianyuan patted the little fox, who was bouncing and jumping on his head, urging him to leave. Then Mu Tianyuan said, "Do you still remember the information on that treasure map?"

"Mm... I remember!" The little fox thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously. Although the little fox didn't think it was a treasure map at the time, she looked at it out of curiosity, so she remembered the information drawn on the map. Then, the little fox sprang off Mu Tianyuan's head, ran upstairs to the bedroom, and when Mu Tianyuan caught up, he saw the little fox lying on the desk, holding a pen and writing and drawing.

Don't let the fact that the little fox only has paws and not hands fool you. For some reason, this creature can magically do things that humans can only do with hands, things that would be better for ordinary animals to die than to be trained for, such as unscrewing bottle caps and writing!

When Mu Tianyuan came to the little fox's side, he saw that the little fox had already drawn the final fish shape. Even though the little fox had only glanced at it, she remembered the lines and shapes on the treasure map very clearly. In just a few strokes, the final diamond-shaped fish appeared. Then, the little fox saw Mu Tianyuan approach and immediately patted the freshly drawn treasure map, saying, "Look, these are the things that were drawn on the treasure map!"

Then, the little fox looked at the treasure map with some confusion and said, "If those brats weren't lying, then the first symbol represents that big iron frame in Tokyo, but what does the moon next to it mean?"

The treasure map's patterns were drawn vertically, except for the first one, which had a moon drawn next to the iron tower, and the second to last one, a long rectangle with a bar in the middle, had the letters "ORO" written next to it. The little fox was currently confused about the moon on the side.

"It should refer to nighttime," Mu Tianyuan said, trying to recall the plot, a little uncertain. After all, even though he had an impression of this episode, he couldn't remember the exact way to decipher the specific code. If he could really remember it that clearly, he wouldn't have spent half a year experimenting with transmission rules back then...

"Going to the big iron frame at night? You know, that's actually possible!" The little fox listened and nodded, then pointed at the second drawing, which resembled a cloud, and said, "Then what's this?"

"I can't tell what that is either," Mu Tianyuan said, looking at the drawing, and shook his head helplessly. When the little fox heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Then what do we do? If we can't decipher the code, how can we find those gold coins? Are we just going to watch our gold coins be taken away by someone else?!"

"Don't worry, let me think about it carefully again," Mu Tianyuan soothed the money-obsessed little fox, then picked up the treasure map she had drawn and began to ponder. The little fox heard Mu Tianyuan's words, flicked her tail, thought for a moment, then said, "How about we set off first! You can think slowly on the way. If all else fails, once we get there, we can look for clues!"

Then, before Li Junyang could say anything, the little fox said, "Besides, we can't even be sure if it's nighttime or not. And what if that brat Conan finds it? You know that brat is smart, and with his personality of handing over even a single yen he finds to Uncle Police, if he really finds the gold coins first, he'll definitely hand them over to the country. By then, our gold coins will be unrecoverable!"

Although the little fox didn't know Conan's later achievements, when Conan was still small and attending school, he dared to solve cases every now and then. The little fox didn't believe Conan's intelligence would shrink just because he became small!
