At this moment, Mutian Yuan thought of many scenes from movies watched by certain adults. Without exception, the subsequent developments would be extremely exciting. To be honest, Mutian Yuan was also very much looking forward to encountering such movie plots. In fact, after knowing he was in Japan, Mutian Yuan had been looking forward to it for a long time.
However, a year had passed, and Mutian Yuan hadn't encountered such good fortune. But Mutian Yuan didn't give up, still holding onto hope. Unexpectedly, today, Mutian Yuan finally got what he was waiting for.
The problem was, when an old man initiated the invitation, Mutian Yuan couldn't quite accept it! Damn it, if it were his daughter-in-law inviting him, he'd go! But this old man, who the hell wants to go with him?! The little fox had been closing her eyes to rest the whole time.
Upon hearing Mutian Yuan's words, she opened her eyes and looked at Mutian Yuan somewhat helplessly: "I told you to watch fewer of those... movies where only two or three people act out the whole thing. You just wouldn't listen. Look, now your brain isn't working right, is it? Maybe the old man just wants to invite you to the exhibition hall for something."
"Don't tease, he's not a beauty, what's the point of an invitation!"
Mutian Yuan still hadn't emerged from his own conjecture. He shivered and answered testily. Damn it, if it were a beautiful woman, he would definitely go in, but a man, and an old man at that, forget it! He had no interest in that! "I mean the old man has serious business with you."
The little fox looked at Mutian Yuan helplessly and replied. Then the little fox flicked her tail again: "Besides, how do you know the old man is calling you, and you're not even letting him wait for someone else?"
"Uh, you have a point."
Mutian Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously. Actually, it wasn't that the little fox had a point. It was mainly that Mutian Yuan himself had come to his senses. Even if the old man really had that kind of interest and wanted to invite him, he wouldn't just give a look.
Besides, Mutian Yuan thought about it and realized that the old man's expression at the time didn't seem to imply that either! After sitting for a while longer, Mutian Yuan raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's almost 4:30. Ran and the others haven't finished yet."
Then Mutian Yuan looked at the little fox again: "How about we go get something to drink? I'm feeling a bit thirsty."
Because Mutian Yuan had been living frugally lately, he still had some money left from performing magic tricks. It definitely wasn't enough for eating and drinking extravagantly, but for a few drinks, he could afford it.
The little fox naturally had no objections after hearing Mutian Yuan's words. So Li Junyang picked up the little fox and stood up, planning to notify Ran and the others before going to get drinks. Just as they were about to walk out of the corridor, Mutian Yuan ran into the owner...
whose name was Manaka. After brushing past him, as Mutian Yuan walked a few steps and was about to turn a corner, he saw Owner Manaka walk into the... exhibition hall where the curator had gone earlier. So Mutian Yuan said to the little fox: "You guessed it right. It seems this old man wasn't here for me. He was surpassing Owner Manaka."
"So, don't flatter yourself."
The little fox turned her head to look, then shook her head and replied. After wandering around, they finally found Ran and her group, who were excitedly visiting an exhibition hall. To be honest, finding Ran and the others was thanks to the little fox's good nose. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how long they would have wandered.
After informing Ran and promising to wait for them at the entrance if they decided to leave, Mutian Yuan left the museum under the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of Uncle Mouri and Conan.
After finding a beverage shop and ordering two milk teas, Mutian Yuan leisurely passed the time by flipping through the magazine provided by the shop. After about half an hour, while he was researching the magazine and the little fox was researching the food magazine beside him, and Mutian Yuan was watching a game at the counter, he heard a police car siren from outside. Hearing the urgent siren, Mutian Yuan didn't take it seriously.
After all, there was nothing interesting to see about police responding to a call, right? He might as well look at the various foods introduced in the magazine. Even if he couldn't afford them, wasn't it still addictive? Besides, there was a game to watch at the counter! Who cared about the police! After sitting for a while longer, the fox looked at Mutian Yuan and said: "...Should we go back? What if Ran and the others left?"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that."
Mutian Yuan only remembered that he had agreed to meet Ran and the others in front of the museum when the little fox reminded him. Immediately, Mutian Yuan tidied up the magazine, then, carrying the little fox, he went to the counter and bought three more cokes to take to Ran and the others, then planned to pay and leave.
But to Mutian Yuan's surprise, when he was checking out, the female owner of the beverage shop actually waived the price of one milk tea, saying it was a treat for the little fox! Upon hearing this news, Mutian Yuan immediately looked at the female owner, whose eyes were full of hearts for the little fox, and said happily: "Sister, you are truly too kind. I will definitely come here often in the future!"
Then Mutian Yuan added in his heart: Although you're not a beauty of captivating beauty, just because you always carry two "footballs" with you, as a fan, I have to come often! And that... female owner who always carried two "balls" was also very happy.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mutian Yuan, she even pulled out a card and handed it to Mutian Yuan, indicating that as long as Mutian Yuan came in the future with this membership card, he would get an 80% discount! Then, after letting the female owner touch the little fox, Mutian Yuan grabbed the cokes and left the beverage shop under the female owner's reluctant gaze.
Walking on the road, Mutian Yuan mumbled to the little fox: "It's really good to take you out. I saved the money for another milk tea. But this matter... reminded me. It seems from now on we should only go to shops where the owner is a woman. Maybe there'll be discounts."
The little fox didn't say anything after hearing this, just stared at Mutian Yuan. After seeing the little fox's reaction, Mutian Yuan shrugged and said: "I'm just kidding. I'm not so petty as to take such small advantages."
"Really?"
The little fox looked at Mutian Yuan with suspicion and asked. Mutian Yuan immediately nodded: "Of course. Am I the kind of person who takes small advantages? If I weren't so financially constrained right now, I wouldn't want her to treat me.
Besides, a successful person like me, if I'm going to take advantage, I'll take a big one. For example, that... the large-breasted female owner! Speaking of which, that owner is really big..."
Little Fox: "...You really are a pervert, Mr. Wolf..."
While chatting idly, Mutian Yuan and the little fox turned a corner and arrived on the road where the museum was located. Seeing the large pile of police cars parked in front of the museum, Mutian Yuan rested his chin on his hand and said: "I originally planned to use 'meeting a friend' as an excuse to explain to Uncle Mouri, but looking at the situation, it seems unnecessary. Based on my experience, Uncle Mouri and the others must have fortunately stumbled upon another case. I guess they won't have time to wait for me at the entrance."
"Hm, the problem is what do we do now? The museum seems to be sealed off. Do we have to wait at the entrance for that perverted uncle to solve the case?"
The little fox looked at the museum, guarded by police officers, and asked curiously. Mutian Yuan shrugged: "Why wait outside? Let's go in and find Uncle Mouri. We can also see which unlucky guy kicked the bucket."
Then Mutian Yuan walked towards the museum, saying: "I bet a roasted chicken that the person who died this time is either... Owner Manaka or... that man who was scolded by the curator. If it's not one of those two, I lose."
"Betting... is not a problem,"
The little fox stood on Mutian Yuan's shoulder, turning her head to look at Mutian Yuan, and nodded. Then the little fox immediately added: "The problem is, are you sure we can afford to buy roasted chicken luxuriously now?"
"Hm... I'll bet a steamed bun!"
Mutian Yuan was silent for a moment, then said seriously to the little fox.
When they arrived in front of the museum, the police officers initially did stop Mutian Yuan. But when Mutian Yuan stated that he was Uncle Mouri's "hanger-on" and was out buying drinks for Uncle Mouri, the police officers politely let him in. As he walked into the museum, Mutian Yuan mumbled: "I forgot to use the restroom at that shop earlier."
"What? You had an urge to pee after one milk tea? Is your memory a bit too tiny?"
The little fox immediately retorted when she heard Mutian Yuan's words. Mutian Yuan said somewhat helplessly: "What? I haven't used the restroom all afternoon. Is it wrong to want to go now?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right."
The little fox responded perfunctorily, then said: "They should be at the place we were sitting before. I heard some commotion, and I also smelled blood. Hmm, the bleeding seems quite heavy. At least enough for several pounds of blood pudding."
Actually, Mutian Yuan didn't need the little fox's guidance to find them, because there were many police officers going in and out there. When Mutian Yuan arrived at the scene with the drinks, before he could even see who was involved, he was first attracted by Conan.
He saw Conan at this moment clutching a certain area and jumping up and down beside Curator Ochiai, loudly complaining that he couldn't hold it anymore and asking the curator to draw him a map of the restroom's location. Seeing this situation, Mutian Yuan, who was also planning to use the restroom, immediately walked towards Curator Ochiai, who was staring blankly at his pen, and then said with a serious expression: "Curator Ochiai..."
Mutian Yuan didn't want to look serious. He was genuinely in a hurry, but as an adult, he couldn't act shamelessly like Conan, jumping up and down and shouting in front of so many people, as if he wanted the whole world to know he was about to pee his pants. So he could only be serious, and more serious!
