"I'm not a nurse,"
Hearing Uncle Mouri call him a nurse, Narumi immediately waved his hand, then smiled and introduced himself, "I'm Asai Narumi, the doctor here, and I have a proper medical license!"
Then Narumi smiled again and said, "If you go to the community hall, you'll meet those three people I just mentioned."
"Are they all at the community hall?"
Uncle Mouri muttered curiously upon hearing Narumi's words. Why are all these people running off to the community hall instead of quickly campaigning for votes? Are they playing poker or something? Dr. Narumi then explained the reason: today was the third anniversary of some inheritance ritual for the former village mayor, a man named Kameyama... Although Mu Tianyuan didn't know what this "inheritance ritual" was, or if it was the same as a "third anniversary celebration," Uncle Mouri and the others seemed to understand.
Then, after thanking Dr. Narumi, Uncle Mouri led Mu Tianyuan and the others in the direction Dr. Narumi pointed. Mu Tianyuan walked along, occasionally looking back at Narumi, who was still standing at the clinic entrance. And when Narumi saw Mu Tianyuan looking back at him, he immediately gave Mu Tianyuan a sweet smile and vigorously waved his hand.
If it were a normal day, with such an enthusiastic beauty waving at him, Mu Tianyuan would be overjoyed. But, although Dr. Narumi was indeed very attractive, a genuine beauty, the problem was — he was a man! Therefore, Mu Tianyuan could only force a polite smile and nod at Narumi.
Meanwhile, Conan had noticed Mu Tianyuan staring at Dr. Narumi from the beginning. Now, seeing him walking with a lingering look, he immediately put on an innocent expression and said, "Big Brother Mu must really like Dr. Narumi!"
Conan felt that, based on his understanding of Mu Tianyuan, this guy must have seen how beautiful Dr. Narumi was and once again felt a flutter in his heart, experiencing the feeling of first love! "You little brat, what do you know! I'm just curious about this Dr. Narumi. If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll stuff you into Dr. Narumi's bed tonight!"
Hearing Conan's words, Mu Tianyuan's face changed, and he unhesitatingly flicked Conan's forehead. Like hell I like him! I only like beautiful women, alright! Do you think I'm like you, who swings both ways?!
If you keep talking nonsense, I really might set you up with Dr. Narumi for an unforgettable night! Ran didn't pay attention to Mu Tianyuan bullying Conan. Instead, she said with some emotion, "Dr. Narumi is truly a gentle and beautiful person."
"Yes..."
Mu Tianyuan nodded, then silently added in his heart, Gentle, beautiful, but unfortunately, he's a man! Then Mu Tianyuan telepathically said to Little Fox, "I don't know if I'm overthinking, but I always feel like he intentionally brought up those three village mayor candidates just now. Is he hinting at something, or was it just a casual remark?"
"I don't know, but I think you might be getting a little paranoid."
Little Fox flicked her tail in reply, then looked at Mu Tianyuan slyly and said, "Tell me the truth, why do you suddenly want to help him? Is it really because you feel sorry for him and want to give him a hand? Or is it because you think he's pretty, so you're showing 'gentle compassion' and have ulterior motives?"
Although Little Fox was teasing Mu Tianyuan, to be honest, after seeing the beautiful Dr. Narumi, Little Fox had a moment where she doubted Mu Tianyuan's motives! "Go to hell! He has what I have! What would I want from him?! I'm genuinely attracted to women. While I don't oppose others being gay, I absolutely don't go for that!"
Mu Tianyuan was immediately agitated upon hearing Little Fox's words. Little Fox flicked her tail and said, "I think you're wrong. At the very least, he has breasts, and they look bigger than Little Ran's! Hey, what do you think he stuffed in there?"
"How would I know? And I'm not interested! If you're curious, find an opportunity to research it yourself."
Mu Tianyuan replied irritably. Little Fox shook her head: "No thanks, I'm not interested."
Then Little Fox looked at Mu Tianyuan and asked, "Tell me, why do you suddenly want to help him? Is it really because your conscience hasn't completely withered?"
"Your choice of words is really... clever. What do you mean 'my conscience hasn't withered'? I'm a good person, alright!"
Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes at Little Fox and grumbled. How could Little Fox question his character? Even if his character wasn't saintly, he was still a good person, alright! Then Mu Tianyuan sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. On one hand, I really do feel sorry for him. On the other hand... I'm actually accumulating good karma for you too!"
"Oh... Get out of here! I'm loved by all and make flowers bloom! Do I need you to accumulate good karma for me?! I think you should accumulate more good karma for yourself!"
Little Fox replied indignantly upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words. If anyone was lacking in virtue, it was Mu Tianyuan, not her! Mu Tianyuan just shrugged, then looked at Uncle Mouri, who was wandering around, smoking a cigarette and gazing about, and said, "Uncle, I have a somewhat immature suggestion. Don't you think we should find an inn first and then a place for lunch? As for finding the mayor for the mission, we're not in a hurry... How about we go this afternoon? Anyway... that guy isn't going anywhere."
Originally, Mu Tianyuan and the others planned to stay here for a day. Now that it was almost noon, they should at least settle down first before doing anything else. "Uh, you're right."
Uncle Mouri looked up at the sky after hearing Mu Tianyuan's words and couldn't help but nod. Originally, Uncle Mouri planned to find the client first, and maybe get a meal out of it. But now that he knew the client was dead, they had to figure out their own food and lodging.
After all, even if they found the client now, there wouldn't be anything to get. They couldn't expect the client to treat them to incense and a grave, could they? As for finding the mayor, what's the rush!
After finding an inn that offered both food and lodging, Mu Tianyuan and the others checked into their rooms under the enthusiastic reception of the boss. While they were tidying up and waiting for the boss to serve their meal, Uncle Mouri muttered, "The people here are so enthusiastic."
"Because there's finally some business, of course they're enthusiastic..."
Mu Tianyuan looked at the inn, which had only a boss and one waiter, and replied helplessly. Just looking at how quiet the inn was, he knew there weren't many people usually. How could they not be enthusiastic when a group of guests finally arrived?
After eating their fill and resting for a bit, Mu Tianyuan and the others finally arrived at the community hall. Before they even got close, Mu Tianyuan and the others heard a large group of people yelling slogans like "Down with the current mayor's authoritarianism!"
When they arrived in front of the community hall, they saw a large crowd demonstrating with signs. Seeing this situation, Mu Tianyuan shook his head and said to Little Fox, "The villagers here are really lively. They're jumping around under the scorching sun right after lunch. Is this their form of entertainment?"
"What's so special about the sun? Didn't you see them holding umbrellas?"
Little Fox replied, wagging her tail. Then she continued, "And look, they even have drinks. Oh, and popsicles."
"Alright, I'm increasingly convinced this is more like entertainment."
Mu Tianyuan pouted and grumbled. How bored must the people on this island be to protest for fun? Wouldn't it be better to just go home and make babies? Upon arriving at the community hall, Uncle Mouri explained their purpose to a staff member, who very politely asked Uncle Mouri to wait while he informed the mayor. However, at this moment, Mu Tianyuan spoke, "Um... I wonder if I could look around?"
"Of course, no problem. I'll have someone guide you."
The staff member nodded, then called over another staff member, who took Mu Tianyuan on a tour of the community hall. Actually, there wasn't much to see. Mu Tianyuan quickly got a general understanding of the community hall's layout. After dismissing the staff member who guided him, Mu Tianyuan casually walked around and said to Little Fox, "I've located the warehouse. Now it's time to act."
"Are you sure the coded musical score left by... Aso Keiji 2 is in the warehouse here?"
Little Fox looked around and asked. Mu Tianyuan's information was too vague; he only remembered that there was a musical score in a warehouse that seemed to contain the truth, but he couldn't specify which warehouse. So Little Fox was very doubtful if they had even found the right place.
Mu Tianyuan just shrugged and said bluntly, "I can't be 100% sure, but let's look first."
"But this warehouse is right next to the building's foyer! The location is too obvious. Not to mention what if someone outside comes in and sees us? Don't forget, there are still a lot of people here now!"
Little Fox recalled the warehouse location and said helplessly. The warehouse's location was too awkward; it was too easy to be discovered! "So we need to find some helpers to attract others' attention."
Mu Tianyuan shrugged and walked out of the community hall. Not long after, Mu Tianyuan strolled back, then stood at the entrance and nodded slightly outwards. Immediately, seven or eight cats of various colors rushed in, followed by a dozen or so dogs, both large and small. The cats and dogs barked and meowed as they ran. To outsiders, it was just... cat meows and dog barks. But in Mu Tianyuan's ears, it was: "Go! We'll cover you!"
