"Don't you like reasoning? Why don't you deduce it then?" Mutian Yuan said with a smile, looking at the inquisitive Conan. Conan rolled his eyes silently, then acted cute, "Brother Mu, just tell me!"
"Ew! So disgusting!" Mutian Yuan shivered at Conan's appearance. Conan really thought of himself as a child, acting cute so naturally. "Don't you know you're remarkably similar to the great Narumi in this regard?" After pushing Conan away, Mutian Yuan said with a smile, "Guess!" Then Mutian Yuan turned his head away quite decisively, ignoring... Conan. "You want to know? Go guess! I'm not telling you!" Soon, Mutian Yuan and his group arrived at Kawashima's house under Narumi's "guidance." After explaining their purpose to the police officer at the gate, Mutian Yuan casually walked in.
Mutian Yuan also knew the police officer leading the search of Kawashima's house, and he was very familiar with him: Officer Chiba, Officer Takagi's good friend. After explaining their purpose, Mutian Yuan had the little fox pretend to search around. Then, after finding the secret compartment, the little fox barked twice at the compartment's location with a humiliated expression, then directly lay there motionless. While lying there with a look of utter defeat, the little fox muttered to Mutian Yuan, "You know what? I really want to kill you right now. Seriously!"
"Please bear with it, old man." Mutian Yuan said to Officer Chiba while using telepathy to appease the little fox. The little fox flicked its tail at Mutian Yuan half-heartedly, then suddenly turned its head and looked at Mutian Yuan confusedly, saying, "Wait... I remember police dogs in TV shows just lie down when they find something, right? Why do I still have to bark?!"
"You're right! You could totally just lie down! Why didn't I think of that earlier!" Mutian Yuan replied, suddenly enlightened. Seeing Mutian Yuan's reaction, the little fox stood up with a whoosh, then glared at Mutian Yuan and said, "Mutian, did you really not think of it, or were you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?!"
"I really didn't think of it," Mutian Yuan quickly replied, seeing the little fox's reaction. Then he added, "Besides, didn't you just think of it yourself?"
Little fox: "..." Then Officer Chiba and his team, with the little fox having helped them pinpoint the target, quickly found the secret compartment. The subsequent investigation and evidence collection were the police officers' business. Mutian Yuan, after bidding farewell to Officer Chiba, went to Chief Kuroiwa's house under Narumi's guidance.
The little fox, after pretending to search (which was actually just causing a commotion), went to the secret compartment. This time, the little fox was smarter. Instead of speaking a foreign language, she simply lay there. Mutian Yuan, seeing this situation, immediately said to Officer Takagi, who was leading the search, "Officer Takagi, over here!"
Upon hearing Mutian Yuan's words, Takagi immediately organized the officers to search. Soon, Officer Takagi and his team found the secret compartment. However, upon finding the secret compartment, Officer Takagi and the others were all stunned. Then Ran quickly covered Conan's curious eyes, her face flushed, and said, "Conan, you're still young, you're not allowed to look!"
"Uh..." After Ran dragged Conan away, Mutian Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said, "I never thought Chief Kuroiwa was old in age but not in heart, and it seems he really cherished these things..." They saw that in the secret compartment, besides the powder the police officers were looking for, there were also two magazines with very simply dressed women on the covers, as well as some special female products and some intimate female clothing that looked very much in favor of saving fabric.
In addition, there were two videotapes! Although they didn't know the content of the videotapes, combined with the discovered items, all the adults around subconsciously felt they knew the content of those... videotapes... Officer Takagi's mouth twitched twice after hearing Mutian Yuan's words, and he laughed dryly, "Maybe..."
Damn it, in such a hidden compartment, you put your goods and these other things! Just for that, Chief Kuroiwa really cherished them! But why did you hide them with flour? It just feels incredibly weird, okay?! And just as everyone was shocked by Chief Kuroiwa's collection, which showed he was old in age but not in heart, Mutian Yuan suddenly noticed that the little fox's reaction seemed a bit off.
Her eyes were practically crescent moons from being so happy. Mutian Yuan, who knew the little fox well, immediately judged that the little fox was extremely happy. So Mutian Yuan, with curiosity, asked via telepathy, "What's wrong?" Then, before the little fox could answer, Mutian Yuan surprisingly continued, "Speaking of which, you didn't put those in for him, did you?"
"Hahahaha, that's right, I did it!" The little fox wagged its tail and answered very happily. Then the little fox smugly told Mutian Yuan about her good deed. It turned out that while searching, the little fox wandered into Kuroiwa Reiko's room. After looking around, the little fox found some strange things, such as special female products and magazines.
Originally, the little fox didn't think much of it, but after finding the secret compartment and discovering that there were many things worth pilfering inside, the little fox decided to engage in some self-serving actions. However, her personal space was filled with her snacks. After thinking for a moment, the little fox ran off to find a place to dump all the snacks she had brought. Then she took everything from Chief Kuroiwa's secret compartment that she could carry.
But the little fox felt it wasn't right to just take them. Immediately, she thought of what she found in Kuroiwa Reiko's room. So, for mischief, the little fox went back to Kuroiwa Reiko's room and stuffed Kuroiwa Reiko's... illustrated magazines and her toys, and also took a few sets of fabric-saving clothes, and shoved them all into Chief Kuroiwa's secret compartment...
"You, you... What can I say about you! You should have just put other things. Why did you put the video tapes in there too? Why didn't you bring them back for me?! I'd like to see Miss Kuroiwa's taste!" Mutian Yuan said, somewhat helplessly, to the very happy little fox, condemning her. The little fox flicked her tail and said, "Disappointed you, those... videotapes were just something I grabbed from under the TV cabinet. Not the kind you're thinking of...!"
"Tsk, that's no fun," Mutian Yuan immediately lost interest upon hearing this. Then Mutian Yuan asked curiously, "By the way, what exactly did you take?"
"It's a secret. You'll know when I show you when we get back!" The little fox replied, wagging her tail smugly. Mutian Yuan, seeing the little fox say this, didn't press further. After bidding farewell to Officer Takagi, he went to Nishimoto's house. After another feigned search, the little fox pointed out where Nishimoto had hidden things.
Under Narumi's excited gaze, the police officers found Nishimoto's diary and recordings... The rest was simple. Kuroiwa and Kawashima, who were already desperate because their hidden items had been found, instantly understood the true meaning of "useless teammate" after seeing Nishimoto's diary and hearing the recordings. Previously, they thought Secretary Hirata was the useless teammate, but now they realized they had truly wronged Hirata.
Compared to Nishimoto Ken, that grandson, Hirata, although a bit troublesome, was still good! Nishimoto was truly a proper useless teammate! Under Narumi's tearful gaze, the three murderers who had killed his entire family were handcuffed by Officer Takagi and his team. Mutian Yuan looked at Kuroiwa and the other two, then at the sobbing Narumi. After sighing, he went to the piano, sat down, opened the keyboard cover, and began to play. As Mutian Yuan played Asō Keiji's favorite Moonlight Sonata, the three murderers who had killed Narumi's family of three were finally taken away by the police officers after twelve years.
...When the last note of the first movement of Moonlight Sonata fell, Narumi walked to Mutian Yuan and bowed ninety degrees, saying, "Thank you."
"No, don't thank me. This is entirely because... Uncle Mouri taught me well. If it weren't for Uncle Mouri, the best detective in Japan, meticulously teaching me every day, I wouldn't have this ability." Mutian Yuan helped Narumi up while smiling and pointing at Uncle Mouri.
Uncle Mouri, who had been an irrelevant extra all along and was depressed about not having any limelight as a detective, laughed loudly upon hearing Mutian Yuan's words, "Xiao Mu, don't be modest. Although my teaching is important, you also have talent yourself!" This kid really knows how to act! Look, he didn't even forget to boost my reputation right now! It's truly worth taking him to so many bars with pretty girls! No doubt, I'll take him to another one to broaden his horizons later!
Conan: "..." Uncle, you're too easily fooled! You believe whatever anyone says? Can't you think about what you've taught him? Uncle Mouri was naive, but not everyone present was as naive as Uncle Mouri. Besides... Conan, who saw through the truth, Inspector Megure, who was Uncle Mouri's old colleague, also saw through Mutian Yuan's words as just... flattery. Inspector Megure, after helplessly glancing at the laughing Uncle Mouri, looked at Mutian Yuan and said, "Xiao Mu, if you have time now, could you please come with us to give a statement? Oh, and Narumi too, you too."
"I'll go too!" Conan immediately jumped up when he heard about giving a statement. Although the case had been solved, Conan still didn't understand how Mutian Yuan knew so much. Of course, it wasn't that Conan had no guesses of his own, but he still wanted to confirm whether his guesses were right! "You didn't tell me before, but now you have to give a statement, let's see what you say! I'll just squat beside you, what can you do?!"
