Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Conan Succeeds Again!

⛔ I will stop this story for now because it's didn't get any votes 😭 

Although Ran said that Mutian Yuan was just talking nonsense, Mutian Yuan didn't think so. He firmly believed in one principle: where there's Conan, there's usually trouble! So he had reason to suspect that the guy who kept them waiting, Maru Tsugujiro, might already be dead! Not just dead, but perhaps dead long ago!

Ran didn't know that Mutian Yuan was making this judgment based on his understanding of Conan, the God of Death. She just felt it was inappropriate. Although the old man kept them waiting for half a day, they shouldn't curse him, should they? Just then, a phone rang. Uncle Kogoro, who had been waiting in the room and even fallen asleep, opened the door and walked out. However, just as Uncle Kogoro came out of the room, the phone hung up. The bewildered Uncle Kogoro murmured, "Why did it suddenly hang up again?"

"Maybe it's a prank. Sometimes I'll just dial a random number when I'm bored and then immediately hang up."

Mutian Yuan answered nonchalantly, sitting cross-legged in the hallway. Mutian Yuan really wasn't just talking. He often did this, but not as randomly as he said. He'd call Kaito's landline. In those days, there was no block option for landlines, so Kaito would often be driven to frustration by him. Once, Mutian Yuan was playing with him for an hour, and Kaito was so frustrated he pulled out the phone line...

Hearing Mutian Yuan's answer, Uncle Kogoro and the others looked at him speechless. No wonder you said it was a prank. Turns out you're an experienced habitual offender. Conan, after staring speechless at Mutian Yuan for a long time, said, "Little Mu, aren't you too bored? Even kids don't do pranks like that..."

Damn it, you think everyone's as bored as you? Just because you're bored enough to pull pranks like that, don't assume everyone in the world does it! Not everyone's as bored as you! "Your Sister Ran never lets me tease you. Can't I find some other fun?"

Mutian Yuan answered listlessly. Hearing Mutian Yuan's reply, Conan's forehead was covered in black lines. Damn it, you really take me for entertainment, don't you? How evil are you to find bullying me enjoyable?! Uncle Kogoro ignored Mutian Yuan's blatant bullying of a child. He raised his hand, looked at his watch, and grumbled unhappily, "What's that guy doing? It's been two hours and he's still not back."

Uncle Kogoro felt he had been duped. That brat clearly told him to wait a moment, but now it was almost dark. Damn it, how do you even understand the word "moment"?! "Uncle, I really can't wait any longer. Why don't we just set his house on fire? I don't believe he still won't come out."

Mutian Yuan looked at Uncle Kogoro with a serious face and suggested. Regarding Mutian Yuan's suggestion, especially when they saw him pull out a lighter from his pocket, Uncle Kogoro, Ran, and Conan's mouths twitched. Uncle Kogoro then twitched and looked at Mutian Yuan, saying, "I say, arson is a crime..."

Although he was also very unhappy about being ignored by that guy for so long, without even being offered tea or snacks, he hadn't planned to directly burn down the house! "It's fine. We'll just say it was an accidental fire during a barbecue. We can completely blame everything on an accident."

Mutian Yuan replied to Uncle Kogoro with a serious face. Accident was an excellent scapegoat. This word was invented to be a scapegoat! Then Mutian Yuan turned to Ran and said, "Ran, what about those fish? Let's set the scene... Try to make it seamless!"

Ran: "..."

Conan: "..."

Damn it, you still remember those fish! Those fish are already gone! Don't... don't make them suffer even in death! Uncle Kogoro looked at Mutian Yuan helplessly and said, "I say, can you stop making such terrible jokes?"

This kid is good at everything except that he loves to joke too much! Good thing there are no outsiders now, otherwise someone might call the police! "Mainly, I really can't wait any longer. If this continues, I'll be so hungry I'll eat people!"

Mutian Yuan mumbled helplessly while putting the lighter back into his pocket. Damn it, I even finished the dried fish I prepared for Meowth, and this guy still hasn't come out. If this continues, I'll really starve to death! Hearing Mutian Yuan's words, Uncle Kogoro rubbed his stomach and said unhappily, "You're right, I can't wait either. No, I'm going to the reception room to see what that guy is up to!"

After saying that, Uncle Kogoro angrily walked towards the reception room. Damn it, you don't even offer food and you just leave us here? Even if you're my client, I can't stand it! If you don't give me an explanation today and also treat me to something delicious and a drink as an apology, believe it or not, I'll have someone burn down your house! Not long after Uncle Kogoro left,

a woman's scream suddenly came from the courtyard. Hearing the scream, Mutian Yuan, Ran, and Conan all sprang up. Then Mutian Yuan quickly picked up Little Fox Meowth and stuffed the rubber ball they were playing with back into his pocket. Only then did he follow Conan, who was already running towards the sound of the scream, while muttering, "I wonder if Uncle Kogoro ran into the women's bathhouse?"

"Hmm, you know, judging by the degree of the woman's terror, there might actually be such a possibility."

Little Fox, while perched on Mutian Yuan's shoulder, nodded. Then Little Fox wagged her tail and said, "Tian Yuan Go, full speed ahead, ram Conan Go!"

Mutian Yuan almost fulfilled Little Fox's request, because after turning a corner, Conan suddenly stopped. If Mutian Yuan hadn't braked in time, Conan would have truly been sent flying by Mutian Yuan. But even so, Mutian Yuan still lightly bumped Conan, and then Conan stumbled forward a few steps before bumping his forehead into an auntie.

Then Mutian Yuan and the others heard the scream again. Mutian Yuan scratched his ear while looking seriously at two women who appeared out of nowhere and Uncle Kogoro who was sitting on the ground for some reason, muttering, "According to my analysis of the sound spectrum, the first scream should have come from this auntie!"

The auntie didn't care about Mutian Yuan's nonsense. Instead, she looked at Uncle Kogoro and the others, who had surrounded them, in terror and demanded loudly, "Who are you?!"

Uncle Kogoro heard this and, while getting up from the ground, said unhappily, "I want to ask who you are!"

"We're the maids here!"

The auntie, without any guard, immediately answered Uncle Kogoro's question. Hearing that they were maids, Uncle Kogoro immediately intended to explain, but before Uncle Kogoro could speak, he heard a woman's voice, sounding somewhat displeased: "What's all this noise about?"

"It's the mistress!"

Hearing the woman's voice, the auntie immediately identified the owner of the voice. She immediately turned her head and looked at a somewhat attractive woman who had appeared behind Mutian Yuan and the others at some point. "This man is just walking around our house without permission!"

"Is he a thief?!"

Hearing the auntie's words, the mistress immediately became a little nervous and started shouting. Uncle Kogoro saw that the misunderstanding seemed to have escalated, and quickly explained, "No, no, I'm a detective invited by the owner of this house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Kogoro realized he had exposed his identity and belatedly covered his mouth. Mutian Yuan, seeing Uncle's clueless action, rolled his eyes helplessly. Uncle, covering your mouth now is useless. If you want it to work, you'd have to eat those words you just said! The mistress, hearing Uncle Kogoro's words, immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing hiring a detective to come to our house?"

"Well, you should ask your husband about that later..."

Uncle Kogoro replied with an awkward smile. How am I supposed to explain this? Am I supposed to tell this mistress that I was hired to investigate her affair?! "Then where is my husband?"

The mistress looked at Uncle Kogoro seriously and asked. After learning from Uncle Kogoro that her husband had gone to the reception room, the mistress immediately ordered the two maids to go find her husband. After the two maids left, the mistress suddenly dashed to Uncle Kogoro, lowered her voice, and said nervously, "How far have you investigated? I can give you double the money, but you must keep my affair a secret!"

This mistress was also a smart person. When she heard that Uncle Kogoro was a detective, she felt that things were not good. After deliberately sending the two maids away, she planned to bribe Uncle Kogoro with money. After all, if her husband found out about this, she would definitely be dead! However, it was clear that this mistress was overthinking, because her unlucky husband's fate was not hard enough.

What good could come after summoning Conan? Then they heard the maids' female duet. Uncle Kogoro, Conan, and Mutian Yuan rushed to the reception room and found that the male owner of the house had already died, covered in blood, in the reception room, with a Japanese sword stuck in him! Seeing this situation, Mutian Yuan immediately muttered on his special line, "I knew it. This guy hasn't shown up for so long; he's definitely dead. Sure enough, he's really dead..."

Little Fox, while staring at the deceased, who was leaning against the wall with a Japanese sword stuck in him, also muttered, "Conan seems to have contributed to reducing the world's population again..."

Little Fox now completely agreed with Mutian Yuan's view that Conan was simply a grim reaper...
