Hearing what Paimon said, Gao Muming made a face at her, scaring her so much that she hid behind Ying.

"I have my reasons for doing this. Only when the 'Strange Bird' goes in for a while will I feel more at ease."

"Before I left Mondstadt and came to the Wind Dragon Ruins, he sent me a message, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune in Mondstadt. He also tried to use Lao Wan's identity to threaten me to help him, but I pushed him back."

"I let him go when he led his men to block me because I was leaving Mondstadt and returning to Liyue soon. I wanted to let the 'Strange Bird' know how powerful I am and not dare to attack Lao Wan and the other two."

"But, after all, I will be in Liyue and out of reach. If the strange bird really does something to them, I won't be able to know about it in the first place, and I won't be able to help in time."

"Even if I avenge Lao Wan and the others afterwards, it will be too late."

"Now that you want to catch him, I will of course give you information to help you catch him. Let him go in and sober up, so that the strange bird won't be obsessed with Lao Wan and the others."

Ying nodded to show that she understood.

"I see."

After listening to Gao Muming's explanation, Paimon poked his little head out from behind Ying.

"But according to the novels I've read, aren't all of you in the underworld good brothers who value loyalty and believe in resolving any problems among yourselves?"

Gao Muming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The plots of novels are all fictional. In order to keep readers interested in reading, of course, they have to be as exciting as possible. Little Paimon, don't confuse the story with reality."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimon nodded.

"I don't know why. Considering your status as a best-selling novel author, what you just said seems inexplicably convincing."

"You don't believe it? Let me give you an example."

"Just like the business wars in novels are full of conspiracies and intrigues, the real business wars that I know of are a one-stop process of collecting evidence and reporting."

“Is it that easy to collect information about other merchants?”

Seeing that Paimon was skeptical about the example he gave, Takagi Akira continued to explain.

"Competitors are enemies. Let's put it this way. In the eyes of those merchants, every Mora earned by their competitors from a deal is their own loss. They keep very strict records of every deal with their competitors."

Ying, who was standing by, opened her eyes wide in surprise when she heard this.

Looking at Ying's cute, somewhat dazed look, Takagi Akira suddenly reacted.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, aren't you going to catch the strange bird? Leave as soon as possible while it's still in that secret place. If you go too late, the 'Strange Bird' might have moved away. After all, as a treasure-stealing group, they will arrange multiple bases to be used in rotation in order to avoid being caught."

"Oh, that's right. We originally came to you to ask about the 'Strange Bird'. Let's go, Ying, let's act quickly. After all, the bounty is a huge sum of money."

Paimon said as he took Ying's hand and walked towards the teleportation anchor point. When Ying put her hand on the anchor point, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around to look at Gao Muming.

"By the way, I heard you say before that you were planning to leave Mondstadt and return to Liyue, right? I can use the teleportation anchor to give you a ride."

"Okay, thank you Ying."

Gao Muming walked over and touched the transmission anchor point with Ying, and a familiar white light flashed before his eyes.

After Ying sent Gao Muming to the anchor point closest to Liyue that had been lit up, he teleported back to Qingquan Town to capture the strange bird based on the clues given by Gao Muming.

After watching Ying leave, Gao Muming looked back at the road he took from Liyue to Mondstadt.

Unlike the empty road when coming to Mond, now a large number of merchants who were stranded due to the dragon disaster were transporting their goods along the road.

Looking at the Qianyan Army patrolling at the stone gate not far away, Gao Muming stopped moving forward.

"If I return to Liyue directly from the Stone Gate, I'm afraid there will be trouble. I have a feeling that Xiao Cheng will leave some 'surprises' for me at the Stone Gate after he returns to Liyue."

Gao Muming looked back at the Chenxi Winery not far away and the towering snow-capped mountains further away, and then he had an idea in his mind.

"It's decided. We will go straight through the foot of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, bypass the stone gate and enter Liyue directly from the Salt of the Earth."

"By the way, when I was chatting with Wizardmon before, I, the stubborn person in the chat group, was not online. It was really strange. By the way, he said in the chat that he received an invitation letter. I don't know how he is now."

At this time in the anime world, Takagi Akira was sitting in his car with a dejected look on his face.

As an assistant, Katagiri couldn't help but become alert when he saw Takagi Akira's expression of despair. Every time Takagi Akira showed this expression, he would be tormented by all kinds of sudden ideas of Takagi Akira.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Muming held his cheek with one hand and answered weakly.

"Nothing, I just have to go to this 'Mantian' game exhibition? I really don't want to go."

Katagiri firmly denied Takagi Akira's attempt to slip away.

"No, President. You know that this party is not so much a new mystery game launch as it is a meeting between game companies that cooperate with Sindor. Anyway, you have been promoting this project, so why don't you want to go?"

Takagi Akira sighed after failing in his attempt to jump into the plot.

"Nothing, we're already here, let's get ready."

After tidying up his clothes, Gao Muming closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, Gao Muming became full of energy and said something silently in his heart.

"Let's go and see what kind of person the president of the company 'Mantiantang' who dares to provoke the god of death is."

Pushing open the car door, Takagi Akira and Katagiri walked into the gate.

As soon as he entered the door, Takagi Akira saw the famous detective Maori Kogoro standing in the corner with a pale face, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

At this moment, Conan's somewhat sweet childish voice rang out.

"It's Uncle Takagi, you're here to attend this game launch as well."

Takagi Akira looked down at Conan.

"I just happened to be collaborating with 'Man Tian Tang' on a big project recently, so I had to come and show my support when I received the invitation."

As he spoke, Takagi Akira glanced around and saw Conan as the only child in the entire hall.

"Come to think of it, today is obviously not Sunday, Conan, you don't have class today?"

"Attend class?"

Conan looked at Takagi Akira strangely.

"Uncle Takagi, you got the date wrong. Today is my spring break and I don't have to go to school."

"I see, hahaha~ I graduated a long time ago, so it's normal to remember it wrongly."

Takagi Akira laughed and Katagiri behind him looked at the time and whispered something in Takagi Akira's ear.

"President Takagi, the time we agreed to meet with President Manten is almost up, so we should hurry over there as soon as possible."

"Have fun Conan-kun, I have some work to do so I won't play with you anymore."

After saying that, Takagi Akira patted Conan on the head and took Katagiri to the elevator room nearby.
