"Yes, Conan, you were really in danger today!" Ran had originally thought that the most danger Conan would encounter was being robbed of the treasure map and ultimately silenced. Hearing Mu Tianyuan mention not finding the gold coins made Ran, who had just calmed down after hearing about Conan's escape, tense up again. Mouri Kogoro also uncharacteristically said, "Indeed, if it were a normal situation, those people would indeed have silenced them. After all, if these brats had really found the gold coins, they'd have to kill them to keep it secret."

Then, Mouri Kogoro looked at Conan again and said, "Since the gold coins weren't found, does that mean they're hidden elsewhere? Do you still remember the treasure map?"

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro's eyes glowed green...

"I think Conan probably didn't look in the wrong place. I thought about Conan's deciphering of the clues earlier and it seemed correct. As for why the gold coins are gone, I guess there are only three possibilities: first, the leader of that bandit gang moved the gold coins beforehand;

second, the bandit gang leader set up a false trail, deliberately drawing a fake map to fool people; and third, someone got there first and took the gold coins." As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, Mu Tianyuan stroked his chin, looking serious and analytical.

Then, Mu Tianyuan continued, "And I find one thing very strange. Why did that bandit leader draw this map? I always feel like this map is a bit redundant. By all accounts, even if you're hiding gold coins, you don't need to specifically draw a map, do you? I remember clearly where I hide my private stash.

Can that guy really not remember where he hid something as important as gold coins? If his memory is that bad, why isn't he seeing a doctor and still running around? Or perhaps he's tired of living and decided to leave the treasure map to someone fated to find it? That guy shouldn't be that carefree and kind-hearted, right?"

Originally, Mu Tianyuan was just talking nonsense, but as he spoke, Mu Tianyuan genuinely began to feel curious about the bandit leader's mind. He knew the treasure map was real, but that's precisely why Mu Tianyuan found it strange. What was that guy thinking, drawing a map when he had nothing better to do?! Was he really afraid of forgetting? How forgetful do you have to be to forget something so important?! Or was that guy really planning to act like a benevolent god of wealth?

"Hmm..." Mouri Kogoro and Conan also fell silent when they heard Mu Tianyuan's words. Mu Tianyuan hadn't mentioned this problem before, so they hadn't noticed. Now that he brought it up, they too were puzzled. Yeah, what was that guy thinking, drawing a treasure map when he had nothing better to do?!

Mouri Kogoro pondered for a long time, then said, "Could it be that he really intended to draw a fake treasure map to mislead others?"

Mu Tianyuan then spoke again, "If that's the case, wouldn't he be thinking too far ahead? Why didn't he just run off with the gold coins? If he could plan that far ahead, he wouldn't have been caught by the police, would he?"

"Mm..." Mouri Kogoro nodded, then once again felt troubled by the bandit leader's thought process...

Conan wasn't faring any better at this point; he was also puzzled. Originally, he just thought it was likely someone else had gotten to the gold coins first, as that rundown place wasn't particularly hidden, and it was possible someone stumbled upon it. But now he also started trying hard to use his clever brain to speculate about what a clearly unusual bandit leader was thinking at the time. But after speculating for a long time, Conan was a bit frantic. He expressed that he, a smart person, simply couldn't figure it out!

However, Mu Tianyuan was far more open-minded than Mouri Kogoro and Conan. After failing to understand, he simply decided not to think about it. Anyway, he benefited in the end, so he didn't care what that idiot was thinking.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, Mu Tianyuan intended to get up and leave. But unexpectedly, this time, before he could even bring it up, Mouri Kogoro also stopped thinking and looked at Mu Tianyuan, asking, "Xiao Mu, I'm meeting a client tonight, would you like to come with me?"

Mu Tianyuan was stunned when he heard Mouri Kogoro's words. Why would he be invited to a client meeting? But the next second, Mu Tianyuan saw Mouri Kogoro raise his hand. After seeing Mouri Kogoro's gesture, Mu Tianyuan immediately understood. This wasn't going to meet a client; this was clearly an invitation to go for a drink! Mu Tianyuan immediately nodded at Mouri Kogoro and said, "Of course, I'd be delighted."

Mouri Kogoro saw that Mu Tianyuan understood his meaning, immediately put on his jacket, and happily urged Mu Tianyuan out the door. As Mu Tianyuan left the Mouri residence, he looked at Ran, who had come to the door to see them off, and said, "Ran, I think since Professor Agasa entrusted Conan to your care, you should properly discipline him.

Although this kid is smart, he's still too young. Sometimes he doesn't realize the dangers of his actions. Just like today, although it seems he helped the police solve a case, he also put himself in danger. If something goes wrong, you might have to pick up his body from the morgue. You know I'm not exaggerating; there's a real possibility of this. So you must strictly discipline Conan."

"Mmm, I understand." Ran also nodded seriously at Mu Tianyuan.

And so, after Mu Tianyuan dug a pit for Conan, he left Conan, who was filled with bitter sadness from Sister Ran's earnest lecturing, and happily ran off to drink with Mouri Kogoro...

Because Mu Tianyuan had heard Mouri Kogoro mention earlier during dinner that he was going to attend his friend's wedding the next day, Mu Tianyuan also advised Mouri Kogoro to drink less while drinking. However, Mouri Kogoro, who considered himself a heavy drinker, paid no mind to it. The final result was that Mouri Kogoro drank so much he couldn't tell north from south. If Mu Tianyuan hadn't been with him, Mouri Kogoro would probably have woken up the next morning surprised and wondering where the heck he was...

The next evening, Mu Tianyuan shamelessly ran to the Mouri residence again, planning to save expenses. While waiting for dinner, Mu Tianyuan casually asked Mouri Kogoro how the wedding attendance went. But to his surprise, he learned from Mouri Kogoro that they had unfortunately been late for the wedding they were supposed to attend. The reason was that they had encountered a bomb attack on the Shinkansen.

A woman had spent 100 million yen to buy insider information on gold, but the two people who gave her the information were incredibly "thoughtful" in their service. What they gave the woman as "information" was an entire box of bomb tickets that could send her straight to heaven.

It was thanks to Conan kicking that box away at a critical moment, turning those tickets into a spectacular firework outside the train, otherwise, not only would that woman have gone to live a carefree life in heaven, but many people would probably have gone to enjoy bliss with her.

Of course, the credit for that heroic deed later went to Conan, as Ran told it. Mouri Kogoro, however, was too lazy to mention Conan stealing his thunder!

Hearing that even attending a wedding was so thrilling, Mu Tianyuan really wanted to tell Mouri Kogoro, you know, if you didn't bring Conan, you wouldn't have been late?! Anyway, Mu Tianyuan firmly believed that as long as something happened, blaming Conan was the way to go!

Of course, that was just a thought; he couldn't actually tell Mouri Kogoro. But that didn't stop him from complaining to his little fox on the private line. The little fox, who was resting nearby and marveling at how smoothly everything had been going on this journey, suddenly heard Mu Tianyuan whisper to her with a smug tone: "See, I told you, as long as Conan is around, nothing good ever happens. You didn't believe me before, do you believe me now?"

"I believe 80%..." The little fox nodded silently. Now the little fox was gradually starting to believe Mu Tianyuan's earlier claims that Conan was a jinx and a grim reaper. After all, most ordinary people wouldn't even encounter so many things two days in a row!

Several more days passed. After school that day, Mu Tianyuan walked home with his little fox, Ran, and Sonoko. As they walked, Mu Tianyuan suddenly remembered something. He rummaged through his backpack and said, "Oh, right, I just remembered I have some chocolates here. Come on, have some chocolate."

After he distributed the chocolates to Ran and Sonoko, Sonoko suddenly squinted and looked at Mu Tianyuan, saying, "Xiao Mu..."

"Are you making a face because your face is spasming?" Mu Tianyuan was feeding his little fox and eating chocolate himself when he heard Sonoko call him. He looked up and saw Sonoko making a face at him. Mu Tianyuan immediately rolled his eyes and asked. Just from Sonoko's expression, Mu Tianyuan knew that this girl was definitely up to no good!

"What's wrong?" Sonoko immediately rolled her eyes when she heard Mu Tianyuan's words, then looked at Mu Tianyuan, full of gossip, and said, "I have something to ask you!"

"Huh?" Mu Tianyuan, eating, looked at Sonoko with some curiosity. Sonoko giggled, then squinted, her face full of gossip, and asked, "Where did you get your chocolates from?"

"These?" Mu Tianyuan paused, then said with a somewhat puzzled expression, "I found them in my desk. I don't know who put them there, but since no one came to claim them, I just ate them. Is there a problem?"

"Just as I thought!" Sonoko clenched one fist and hammered it into the palm of her other hand. Then, Sonoko looked at Mu Tianyuan and said, "Do you know what these chocolates mean?"

"What else can chocolates mean?" Mu Tianyuan was stumped by Sonoko's question. After glancing at the equally bewildered Ran, he looked at Sonoko in confusion and asked. Sonoko didn't answer directly, instead she asked, "Besides chocolates, was there nothing else?"

At this point, Sonoko's eyes began to shine with a dazzling light, and from Mu Tianyuan's experience, this light was called gossip!
