"Alright, let's head out now." Mu Tianyuan immediately nodded upon hearing the little fox suggest leaving now. Then, Mu Tianyuan tucked the coded treasure map into his pocket, grabbed his wallet and keys, and with the little fox, hailed a taxi and headed towards Tokyo Tower. Along the way, Mu Tianyuan desperately tried to decipher the meaning of the symbols from memory, but ultimately, he sadly realized that his mortal memory simply couldn't recall anything...

And the little fox wasn't idle either. She also diligently racked her brains, trying to use her wisdom to unravel the meaning of the codes. However, after thinking for a long time, the little fox couldn't get the hang of it. Without any hints, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't figure out what those drawings were!

Finally, the little fox, rolling on Mu Tianyuan's leg, said, "So hard, so hard! I have no idea what those drawings are! Oh, by the way, what does ORO written on it mean? Is it an abbreviation for something?"

Then the little fox complained, "Those foreigners are so troublesome, creating so many abbreviations, who knows what they are?!"

"It's probably Italian for gold or something like that," Mu Tianyuan replied, pondering the symbols in his mind. The little fox had just asked casually, not expecting Mu Tianyuan to actually give an answer. She immediately said in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Did you forget who stole it?" Mu Tianyuan replied, still desperately trying to recall. The little fox was still very surprised, saying, "Even so, how could you know its meaning? Don't tell me you just guessed."

"Not really," Mu Tianyuan shook his head, then explained, "I once dated an Italian girl and learned some everyday Italian words from her. I remember that the letters ORO are in Italian words for gold and gold coins."

"I see, as expected of someone who's 'opened up to foreign flavors.' You know quite a lot, don't you?" The little fox nodded and teased after hearing Mu Tianyuan's words. Mu Tianyuan, however, was not at all embarrassed by the teasing; instead, he nodded proudly, "Of course. Do you think I 'opened up to foreign flavors' for nothing? I also learned all sorts of knowledge!"

Mu Tianyuan wasn't lying; he really did learn things. As for what exactly he learned, only he knew.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're diligent and eager to learn." The little fox nodded dismissively, then after pondering for a moment, she added, "So, if that's the case, those gold coins should be hidden in that rectangular pattern, right? But if so, what does that last fish mean? Isn't that a bit redundant?"

"Who knows? Maybe the guy who drew it just wanted to eat fish in the end, so he drew a fish on the treasure map," Mu Tianyuan said casually, making up an excuse. The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, immediately said helplessly, "Please, this is a treasure map! Who would casually draw their recipe on something so important?!"

"Who knows? If they're willing and skilled enough to draw it, even if they drew a spring scroll on it, it's their own business, can you control it?" Mu Tianyuan shrugged at the little fox. But no sooner had he finished speaking than Mu Tianyuan pondered again, "However, I think with his kindergarten-level stick figures, the spring scrolls he'd draw would at most be two matchstick figures."

"Can you be serious? What time is it, and you're still joking around?" The little fox glared at Mu Tianyuan exasperatedly, then suddenly stared at him and said, "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered a question. How did you know that paper was a clue about gold coins?"

At first, the little fox heard about so many roasted chickens—no, gold coins—so she didn't think much of it. But now, having calmed down, the little fox suddenly became a little curious. Mu Tianyuan clearly didn't take the treasure map seriously at first. How did he know after watching TV?

"Because I remember this plot point!" Mu Tianyuan replied righteously. The little fox, after hearing Mu Tianyuan's reply, remained silent for a moment, then stared at Mu Tianyuan expectantly, saying, "Since you know the plot, do you know what these symbols mean?"

"I don't know! If I knew, would I be thinking about it?" Mu Tianyuan's answer was so blunt. The little fox, after hearing Mu Tianyuan's reply, was silent for a moment, then glared at Mu Tianyuan, saying, "You don't remember something so important?!"

"That was years ago, okay? After that, I only watched Conan occasionally, like once every six months or a year, whenever new dubbed episodes came out. As for the previous plot, it's already good that I remember roughly!" Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes in reply. The little fox, hearing this, became a little frantic, "Then what do we do now? Do we slowly figure it out, or do we just watch our gold coins go to someone else?!"

"Don't get excited. I just thought about it, and I seem to recall that those gold coins are hidden on the top floor of a large building or something," Mu Tianyuan said to the little fox, seeing her getting a bit agitated. The little fox, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, immediately became energetic, "Although you're being vague, that makes it much easier for us!"

"Yes, once we get there, we'll..." Mu Tianyuan nodded, then exchanged glances with the little fox and said in unison, "Mobilize the masses!"

After speaking, Mu Tianyuan and the little fox both laughed like foxes that had stolen chickens... Perhaps the clues Mu Tianyuan came up with would be time-consuming and effort-intensive for others, like searching for a needle in a haystack. But for Mu Tianyuan, it was a very easy matter. One must know that his informants were spread all over the world; wherever there were animals, he could get information. At most, he could mobilize the small animals around the tower to help him search! Once he mobilized them, finding something was truly no big deal for him!

When Mu Tianyuan and the little fox arrived around the Tokyo Big Frame, Mu Tianyuan saw a few little brats, including Conan, being thrown out of a clothing store. Although he didn't know what those mischievous kids were up to, Mu Tianyuan had no intention of asking. Instead, Mu Tianyuan, who had originally planned to ask the driver to stop, immediately abandoned that idea. He then had the taxi drive far away before finally asking the driver to stop and getting out of the car.

He could tolerate Genta and the other mischievous kids, but he didn't want to meet that brat Conan. He could easily trick Genta and the others, but Mu Tianyuan didn't think he could trick Conan with his intelligence. Even if Conan believed him at the time, if he truly found the gold coins and successfully took them away later, Conan might suspect him once he found the location and realized the gold coins were gone. This wasn't impossible; it was very likely! One must know, that kid was extremely suspicious! If that kid suspected him, who knows when he might get some leverage on him, and then it would be another troublesome matter.

After getting out of the car, Mu Tianyuan looked around and casually chose a residential area to walk into. This wasn't because Mu Tianyuan had found the location; it was simply that there were so few sparrows on the utility poles around Tokyo Tower, where people and cars came and went, let alone finding enough people to help him search for treasure.

Upon arriving at a quieter place, Mu Tianyuan looked left and right and found a few crows standing on a nearby wall. In other people's ears, these crows were just cawing noisily, but Mu Tianyuan knew that they were discussing their leisure activities. These crows were planning to go to the next street to tease a cat!

Seeing a target, Mu Tianyuan quickly walked to the wall. "Excuse me..."

Before Mu Tianyuan could finish speaking, he saw a black shadow agilely dart onto the wall. Then, Mu Tianyuan watched as the leading crow, which had planned to go to the next street to tease a cat, landed in the mouth of a black and white cat. Then, with a crunch, the ambitious crow died before it could even achieve its goal...

The remaining crows, seeing that their leader was dead, immediately flew away, flapping their wings. As they flew, the crows chirped chaotically, "Oh no! The boss is dead! Oh no! The boss is dead!" After chirping for a bit, Crow A, still flying, said, "The boss is dead, so shouldn't we avenge the boss as per tradition?"

Another Crow B chirped, "Absolutely!" Then Crow B continued, "But before that, shouldn't we choose a new boss?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Choose a boss, choose a boss!" The remaining crows agreed, chattering among themselves as they flew. Then, these crows had already chosen a new boss...

Mu Tianyuan watched the crows, who had chosen a new boss and were shouting about avenging their previous boss while flying further and further away, even though they hadn't flown fifteen meters from where their previous boss had died. Mu Tianyuan's lips twitched, "The speed of dynastic change in the crow world is quite fast..."

Damn it, their original boss wasn't even cold yet, and these crows had already settled the succession issue in a few words. Isn't your selection process a bit too efficient? And hey, weren't you planning to avenge your original boss? Why did you just fly away? Your original boss's enemy is clearly right there on the wall, biting your original boss's neck!

"Not only that, their business of changing dynasties is very skilled..." The little fox also looked at the crows helplessly and muttered. The little fox heard what those crows said; they were shouting that they were going to elect a new boss again. The little fox just wanted to ask, how many bosses have you had to die for you to be so proficient at changing bosses?!
