And just as Mu Tianyuan and the little fox were lamenting the rapid dynastic changes in the crow world, the cat that had suddenly darted out, while still carrying the crow, mumbled in a mature female voice, "I chased you all the way down the street, and I finally found you, meow. I'll get you for pecking my tail while I was sleeping!"

Mu Tianyuan and the little fox: "..." This clearly belonged to a vendetta where an enemy sought revenge. Speaking of which, the unlucky crow earlier suggested teasing a cat, could it have been this one...?

After a long silence, Mu Tianyuan looked at the calico cat, which had avenged its great grudge and was now carrying the crow, about to leave. "Sister, please wait. I have a question I'd like to ask. Do you animals generally settle scores so quickly and decisively?"

Damn it, didn't that crow just peck your tail while you were sleeping? It's not like it slept with you while you were asleep. Is that really enough for you to cross a street to kill it?

"It's alright, we always take revenge for grudges," the calico cat, who had been about to leave, casually replied to Mu Tianyuan. Mu Tianyuan, hearing this, nodded thoughtfully, "Revenge for grudges, huh? You really do settle scores quickly and decisively."

"Yes," the feline hero nodded at Mu Tianyuan, then was about to leave. But after taking a step, the feline hero suddenly reacted. The crow in her mouth plopped to the ground. Then, she stared wide-eyed at Mu Tianyuan, startled, "Meow, meow, meow?! You human can understand me, meow?!"

"Calm down, calm down, that's nothing." Mu Tianyuan waved his hand at the feline hero, who was completely stunned by the realization of quick revenge. Then Mu Tianyuan pointed at the wall, "Also, sister, your crow is about to fall. See, it fell. Quickly pick it up, don't let someone else get it."

The feline hero, who felt her feline life had been impacted, haphazardly jumped off the wall after hearing Mu Tianyuan's reminder, picked up the crow, then shot back onto the wall, carrying the crow. She stared at Mu Tianyuan, wide-eyed and cat-dumbfounded. Mu Tianyuan, experienced in such situations, skillfully rummaged in his pocket, took out a bag of dried fish, pulled out a few, and offered them to the calico cat. "Sister, have some dried fish to calm your nerves."

The feline hero swore that it was the first time in her life that she ate fish without tasting it. This wasn't because Mu Tianyuan was fooling her with fake dried fish; it was simply that the current situation was too unexpected for her. She was practically eating without tasting! After finishing the dried fish, the calico cat licked her nose with her tongue and said, "A human can understand me, meow. Mama, you've actually been lying to me!"

"Uh, actually your mama didn't lie to you. Most humans really can't understand what you're saying. I'm just special." Mu Tianyuan saw this cat, who thought her mother had lied to her, and felt it necessary to explain. Although he couldn't tell her why he could communicate with her, he at least had to let her know that her mother hadn't lied to her, right? Then Mu Tianyuan looked at the cat and asked, "Are you busy? If you're not, can you help me with something?"

"What is it?" Although the calico cat was still amazed that humans could have a normal conversation with her, a life-altering event for her, she immediately asked curiously, seemingly because she found this human particularly agreeable and out of curiosity for a human who could speak cat language.

"It's like this: I'm looking for something around here, but I don't know where it's hidden. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to help me find it?" Animals weren't as complicated. They were much more straightforward than humans, so Mu Tianyuan immediately stated his purpose. The calico cat didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement. Then Mu Tianyuan told the calico cat the few clues he knew: "What I'm looking for should be on the top floor of some houses nearby. They are several bags hanging from the rooftops with ropes. If you find them, come to the small park in front and let me know."

Then Mu Tianyuan added, "Also, it's best if you can tell other cats you know to help me look. That would be faster."

"No problem, leave it to me!" This cat was a well-respected figure in this small area... a cat figure. Hearing Mu Tianyuan ask her to mobilize her companions to help find it, she just nodded, then intended to run off to spread the news. However, just as this cat had run a few steps, Mu Tianyuan suddenly called out to her. Then Mu Tianyuan pointed at the crow the cat had forgotten on the wall: "Don't you want your crow anymore?"

The calico cat hesitated for a moment after hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, then looked at Mu Tianyuan and said, "Hmm, it's not convenient to carry it now. Why don't you hold onto it for me? But you're not allowed to eat it. Remember to give it back to me later! Even if you want to eat it, at most, I'll share half with you later, but you absolutely cannot eat it all, meow!"

"Alright, I'll hold onto it for you, but as for sharing half a crow, let's forget it. I'm not into that." Mu Tianyuan thought for a moment and nodded. What was it to temporarily hold a crow for this cat when she was helping him find gold coins? As for the cat telling him not to steal it, Mu Tianyuan said she was completely overthinking it. Why would he steal a crow when he had nothing else to do, and a raw one at that! He wasn't that wild, okay!

After watching the cat leap and bound away, Mu Tianyuan pulled out a tissue from his pocket, picked up the unlucky crow through the tissue, and walked towards a park near the river not far ahead. As he walked, Mu Tianyuan said to the little fox, "I think we still need to find some helpers. Otherwise, relying only on a few cats might not be enough."

"Hmm, how about we find crows or sparrows or other birds to help? They can fly faster, and they can easily get into some places." Even if Mu Tianyuan hadn't said anything, the little fox was already thinking of this problem. After all, relying on an unknown number of cats to search such a large area would be a bit slow. One must know that they were now racing against Conan. The little fox didn't want to see their roasted chicken... gold coins... being turned over to the government by Conan!

"Hmm, then let's go find those birds to help." Mu Tianyuan naturally had no objection and nodded immediately. Then, after taking two steps, Mu Tianyuan suddenly lowered his head and looked at the crow he was carrying in his hand through the tissue. "Speaking of which, if we carry a dead crow to ask for help from birds, especially crows, isn't that a bit like crashing their party? Do you think if the crows saw us, they would think we're looking for trouble...?"

Damn it, going to ask crows for help while carrying a crow, and a dead one at that. No matter how you thought about it, it didn't look like asking birds for help!

"You can tell them you're bringing a gift," the little fox casually offered an answer, shaking her head. Mu Tianyuan, hearing this, rolled his eyes and said, "Bringing a dead crow as a gift to crows? What's the difference between that and giving a dead person as a gift to humans? And perhaps this crow is one of those crows' distant relatives. If I really said that, I think they'd poop all over us."

Hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, the little fox imagined herself and Mu Tianyuan covered in crow poop and immediately shivered. Although the Alpaca Sect's inheritance could increase animals' friendliness towards Mu Tianyuan, if Mu Tianyuan truly sought death, that increased friendliness wouldn't work. The little fox immediately said with a serious expression, "Then you say you're going to a funeral."

Although he could have just thrown the crow away and solved the problem, neither Mu Tianyuan nor the little fox had that idea. After all, they had already promised that cat. If they threw it away later, it would be too inappropriate, especially since that cat was currently helping them. Doing that would be too unethical.

Ultimately, Mu Tianyuan first found a place to hide the crow, then ran to a nearby supermarket to buy some things, asked for a few extra bags, and ran out. Then, Mu Tianyuan put the dead crow into a dark-colored bag. Only after it was completely hidden from view did he carry it out and go to seek help from birds. He didn't know if Tokyo was particularly rich in crows, but crows, which were very rare in Mu Tianyuan's hometown and many cities in China, were abundant here. Mu Tianyuan didn't even need to specifically look for them; he encountered several groups before even reaching the small park by the river.

Every time Mu Tianyuan encountered a group of crows, he would stop and ask for their help. By the time Mu Tianyuan arrived at the small park and found a place to sit, he had already sent out countless batches of crows. And it wasn't just crows; sparrows and swallows were also mobilized in large numbers. Even cats and dogs, if Mu Tianyuan encountered them, were mobilized by him. If he hadn't had trouble finding mice for a while, Mu Tianyuan would probably have mobilized even mice to help him find gold coins.

Not only that, Mu Tianyuan also entrusted those cats, dogs, and various birds he had mobilized to spread the word to their friends and family if they encountered them. After mobilizing so many animals to help, Mu Tianyuan and the little fox, who had set out to find gold coins, ended up being the most idle. Mu Tianyuan even went to a stationery store by the road, bought a drawing board, paper, and pens, and returned to the small park to leisurely sketch. In Mu Tianyuan's words, "No matter how good the drawing is, you have to find something to do, right? Otherwise, how boring would it be to just sit there like that? Besides, if you don't do something, just sitting there can easily arouse suspicion!"

Mu Tianyuan was certainly leisurely, but he didn't know how much turmoil he had caused in the surrounding area due to his mobilization of his new "true fox friends and dog friends," or rather, "cat friends and bird friends." Because Mu Tianyuan didn't make it clear, these enthusiastic helpers, mobilized by Mu Tianyuan, would simply drill into any top floor they saw, regardless of whether anyone was inside or not. Some homes were even visited more than once...

That day, the first thing people in the surrounding area said when they met their neighbors and friends was: "Did animals get into your house?" And the second thing was: "This isn't another earthquake, is it?"
