Zongman: Starting as a Prop Master

"Shh!"

Quickly, Ichinosuke covered Haibara Ai's mouth and made a gesture to silence her. Then he looked at Shin-chan, Nohara Hiroshi and Maori Kogoro with a playful look, and said with a gloating look: "Hello, Ai, don't say anything. Let's just watch the show."

Looking at Ichinosuke who was very excited and seemed to be enjoying the show, Haibara Ai rolled her eyes speechlessly, and then looked at the three people who were constantly showing their courtesy to the "nurse lady" like a peacock spreading its tail.

Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"It's really unfortunate for them to have such a disappointing son and brother like you."

After complaining, Haibara Ai also put on an expression of watching a good show, looking at the three jealous gentlemen.

Eating melon is not shabby.

I just wonder if these three people will want to jump off a cliff after knowing the truth.

Chapter 77: Xiaoxin's Amazing Action

Under the joint suppression of Nohara Miese and Mori Ran, Nohara Hiroshi, Nohara Shinnosuke and Mori Kogoro had to put aside their little thoughts.

After honestly consulting Asai and getting the information they wanted, the two groups prepared to go their separate ways.

Before leaving, Nohara Hiroshi warmly invited Maori Kogoro:

"Senior Maori, see you in the evening. We must have a good drink then."

The Nohara family was going to the inn where they were staying, while Kogoro Mori and his family were going to the village chief's house to inquire for the information they wanted.

Hearing Nohara Hiroshi's proposal, Mori Kogoro immediately perked up.

"Then it's settled, Nohara brother. See you tonight."

They had already confirmed with Asai Makoto that the two families were staying in the same hotel, so they naturally had no worries about not encountering any problems.

After saying goodbye to Kogoro Mori and his group, the Nohara family followed the direction indicated by Asai Makoto and successfully arrived at the hotel where they were going to stay.

As usual, they booked two rooms, one for the Nohara couple and Shin-chan, and one for Ichinosuke and Haibara Ai.

After putting away their few luggage and taking a short rest, the family set out to stroll around this remote island at the excited suggestion of Nohara Misae.

However, within two hours, Nohara Misae lost her interest.

"It's really true. This village is so chaotic and has no special features. It's impossible to have fun there."

Yueying Island is just an ordinary island, with neither beautiful scenery nor any special food.

At this moment, the three candidates happened to be canvassing for votes in various ways, so the whole village was noisy, which made people lose interest in sightseeing.

"Forget it. All I can say is that our timing was not very good."

Nohara Hiroshi sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to have a good time with his family, but ended up running into this kind of thing. He could only blame himself for his bad luck.

In her heart, she was complaining about a certain Wuliang merchant, and Nohara Meiya encouraged them:

"Well, let's go back then. At least we can still enjoy two big meals, right?"

The travel voucher that Xiaoxin won this time provides a free night's accommodation and three meals a day.

In addition to breakfast, they can also enjoy a free lunch and dinner.

The family no longer had the desire to wander around, so they started to return to the hotel along the same route.

As soon as they returned to the hotel, the Nohara family met Maori Kogoro and his two companions again.

After greeting each other, Nohara Hiroshi looked at the three members of the Maori family who were about to go out curiously and asked in confusion:

"Mori-senpai, it's almost dinner time, you guys should be ready to go out at this time."

Maori Kogoro nodded regretfully and said:

"This village is about to hold a three-year anniversary ceremony for the previous village chief. Everyone in the village will go to the community center. I want to go and get some information."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Shin-chan curiously asked Nohara Misae:

"Mom, what is a ritual?"

After thinking hard for a while, Nohara Misae tried to explain to Shin-chan in simple terms:

"A funeral is when someone dies and we remember him together."

I don’t know if he really understood or had no idea what was going on, but Xiaoxin kept nodding his head.

Hearing the new things, Shin-chan, who was curious about how Shin-chan and Nohara Misae looked exactly alike, immediately hugged Nohara Misae's thighs and started to act coquettishly:

"Mom, mom, let's go to the religious ceremony, okay? Please, mom."

Looking at Shin-chan who was acting cute to her, Nohara Misae sighed helplessly: "You are the most obedient only at times like this."

Unable to bear to reject Shin-chan, Nohara Misae cast a pitiful look at Nohara Hiroshi and said in a delicate voice, "Husband!"

Unable to bear the look in Nohara Misae's eyes, Nohara Hiroshi sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's go check it out then."

Seeing that Nohara Hiroshi agreed, Shin-chan jumped up and down excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah, a ritual, let's go to the ritual."

Kogoro Mouri and Ran smiled apologetically. Misae Nohara grabbed Shin-chan who was about to let go, and they set out on the road to the community center with everyone.

I don’t know if it was God’s arrangement, but as soon as the Nohara family and the Mori family arrived at the entrance of the community center, they met the current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who was walking towards them with a large group of villagers in black formal wear.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji, with his face full of flesh, looks like a gangster boss when surrounded by a group of people.

Kogoro Mori, who had met him once before, was just about to say hello to him.

His arm was barely half raised when a petite figure suddenly rushed out from beside him.

"Xiao Xin, what are you preparing for..."

As a conditioned reflex, Nohara Misae was ready to rush out and capture Shin-chan.

However, before she could act, she was stopped by Ichinosuke.

Ichinosuke shook his head at Nohara Misae and whispered:

"Mom, don't worry about Xiao Xin, let him make a fuss, we'll just watch from the side."

Ichinosuke, who knew Shin-chan's personality, had probably guessed what Shin-chan was going to do.

Therefore, not only did he not have the intention to stop it, but he watched the development of the situation with great interest.

After a slight pause, out of trust in her eldest son, Nohara Miya thought for a moment, then nodded and lowered her arms.

On the other side, Shin-chan imitated what he saw on TV, making the gesture of a subordinate paying respects to a gangster boss. He bowed to the head of the Kuroiwa Village, who looked like the boss in terms of both appearance and position, and greeted respectfully:

"Boss, long time no see."

Shin-chan's sudden action confused not only the chief of Kuroiwa Village, but also the surrounding villagers.

After a few seconds of silence, the surrounding villagers suddenly started shouting in uproar.

"What the hell, it turns out that the head of Heiyan Village is a gangster. How can they still elect a village head?"

"That's it."

Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who was still in a daze, heard the surrounding residents pointing and talking about him, and he quickly explained: "Little friend, you have the wrong person. I don't know you, and I'm not the boss."

However, Xiaoxin had no intention of listening to what he said. He still looked at the village chief Heiyan and the villagers in black dresses around him with shining eyes, and asked excitedly:

"Boss, are you going to attack the Metropolitan Police Department? I have their phone number."

First he was ostracized by the villagers, then he was provoked by his rival, and then a detective came who wanted to investigate the case. Kuroiwa Tatsuji was already overwhelmed by these things.

Facing a child, he could only suppress the irritation that had accumulated throughout the day, trying to show a kind look to Xiaoxin and explaining:

"Little boy, you are mistaken. We are not gangsters. We are here to attend the ritual for the new village chief. We also have the 110 phone number."

No matter how many times you explain it, once Xiaoxin makes up his mind, he will not change it so easily.

Nodding, Shin-chan recalled Nohara Misae's explanation of the ritual, and asked Kuroiwa Tatsuji curiously:

"Boss, did he die during the fight between you and other gangs?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Kuroiwa Tatsuji found that he seemed to be unable to keep up with the thinking of today's children.

"No, kid, don't talk nonsense. He died of a heart attack...."

Nodding, Xiao Xin didn't listen to the second half of what the village chief of Heiyan said at all, and asked excitedly:

"Oh, he didn't die in a fight with the gangs. Could it be that he was killed by the police..."

Having already guessed what Shin-chan was going to say, Kuroiwa Tatsuji immediately rejected it:

"We didn't engage in a gunfight with the police."

Xiao Xin raised his thick eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly:

"Really, Boss, you are so willful."

"Who is so willful?"

After complaining in his heart, Kuroiwa Tatsuji now just wanted to get rid of the little devil in front of him and then deal with the more troublesome detective.

Seeing that Kuroiwa Tatsuji didn't say anything, Shin-chan raised his thick eyebrows, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment, and said to Kuroiwa Tatsuji:

"Could it be that he was killed by you, Boss, because he was disobedient?"

After hearing Xiaoxin's serious words, some of the villagers around him actually believed it.

"No way, didn't the previous village chief die of a heart attack?"

"No, I heard it was a curse."

"But I noticed that the village chief's secretary often appeared in the community center in a mysterious way, and I don't know what she was doing. Do you think this could be their curse?"

Facing the suspicious eyes of the surrounding villagers, the village chief Heiyan quickly explained:

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't kill Village Chief Kameda."

Seeing that Shin-chan was about to ask something, the already anxious Kuroiwa Tatsuji lost all his patience.

But he couldn't get angry at a child in front of the villagers, so he had to find another scapegoat.

"Hirata, what are you still doing?"

As he shouted, a fat young man ran out from the crowd, wiping his sweat.
