Zongman: Starting as a Prop Master

"Don't be afraid, Dad is coming."

Shouting, Hiroshi Nohara didn't even have time to take off his shoes. He jumped into the sea and swam desperately towards the direction where Shin-chan was.

"Don't be afraid, Mom is here too."

The two people's shouting and yelling disturbed the duo in the car.

"What's going on? What happened over there?"

As he said that, Ichinosuke opened the car door and walked down.

"Xiao Ai, wait here. I'll go see what happened."

Although he knew that the Nohara family had the halo of the protagonists, Ichinosuke couldn't help but worry when something really happened to his family.

I looked around and there was no one on the shore.

Instead, Shin-chan's cry for help could be heard from the ocean, as well as the anxious calls of Nohara Misae and Nohara Hiroshi.

With a leap up, Ichinosuke flew straight towards Nohara Hiroshi and Shin-chan.

It was a distance of over a hundred meters, but it was reached in the blink of an eye.

As the distance got closer, Ichinosuke saw Shin-chan kicking his two short legs on the sea, desperately grabbing the arm of a big sister to prevent her from falling into the depths of the ocean.

However, his strength was still too small, and the figure of the older sister was still being swallowed up by the sea bit by bit.

"Xiao...Xiaoyi, I can't hold on any longer."

Hearing Shin-chan's voice, Ichinosuke immediately came back to his senses.

A powerful telekinesis surged out, instantly enveloping the big sister and Shin-chan.

"Wow!"

The sea water rolled, and two figures, one big and one small, were pulled out of the sea and stood in the air.

Looking at the older sister who was saved by Shin-chan, Ichinosuke frowned.

A moment later, Ichinosuke returned to the shore with the strange older sister, Shin-chan, and the Nohara couple who were struggling in the sea.

Like Nosuke, Haibara Ai's face also turned ugly after seeing the rope tied around the big sister's feet.

"Aunt, please call an ambulance. Uncle, please help call the police."

While taking pictures of the lady who fell into the water with her mobile phone, Huibara Ai gave instructions to the two adults who were at a loss on the shore.

"Yes, yes, I'll call an ambulance right away." When the panicked Nohara Misae heard Haibara Ai say this, she immediately felt like she had found her backbone and started calling an ambulance.

On the other side, Nohara Hiroshi dialed the police number and asked curiously, "Why do you want to call the police?"

Knowing that the Nohara family was just an "ordinary" family who had basically never been involved in any criminal cases, Haibara Ai turned on the video, recorded the scene, and then began to explain patiently:

"Uncle, look here. The rope tied around the ankle of this lady 4.9 is tied from top to bottom, judging from her orientation. This is not in line with human behavior."

"That is to say, she didn't tie the rope herself, but someone else tied it for her."

As she spoke, Huiyuan Ai picked up the deflated swimming ring through her handkerchief and said with a gloomy face:

"Also, judging by the small hole on the swimming ring, someone used it as a timer to provide an alibi for themselves."

After hearing Huihara Ai's explanation, the Nohara couple screamed in fear.

"So this is not a suicide, but a murder?"

Nodding, Huiyuan Ai analyzed with a gloomy face:

"Judging from the size of the hole, this lady must have been drifting alone on the sea for 2-3 hours."

"I just observed her. Her body was limp and weak. She must have been knocked unconscious by drugs like ether. But under the stimulation of the cold sea water, I think she may have regained some consciousness. It's just that the drugs made it impossible for her to call for help or save herself. For the past two or three hours, she could only wait in despair for herself to sink into the sea and be swallowed by the endless ocean current."

"The murderer's methods are really too cruel."

As the old saying goes, there is no way to kill someone, and there is nothing more cruel than torturing them for hours before dying in endless pain and despair.

Chapter 93: A Little Expert in Enlivening the Atmosphere

Izu General Hospital,

A chubby-looking police officer wearing a brown coat and a bowler hat was recording the Nohara family's statements.

"So, it was Shin-chan who first spotted this young lady in the sea, and then Mr. Nohara and your wife rescued her together."

"Yes, yes, that's right, Officer Megure."

Hiroshi Nohara and Misae Nohara tacitly concealed the scene where Ichinosuke used his super powers to save people.

"Then……"

At this point, Inspector Megure paused, glanced at Huihara Ai, and then continued to ask:

"Then you confirmed that this was a murder case based on the little girl's reasoning and called the police. That's right, isn't it, Nohara-kun?"

"Yes, that's right, Officer Megure."

Nodding and confirming what Officer Megure said, Nohara Hiroshi asked the question he had been curious about for a long time: "Officer Megure, isn't this Izu? Why are you here?"

"Oh, this."

Perhaps because he met an acquaintance, Inspector Megure had no intention of keeping it secret and frankly stated the purpose of his trip:

"We are here to extradite an important criminal. We just happened to receive your report, so we came here." (This is a manga world, please forgive me for some minor bugs)

Seeing that Inspector Megure had finished his questioning, Nohara Misae came up with a worried look on her face and asked with concern:

"Inspector Megure, how is the lady doing?"

Officer Megure nodded with relief. No one died in this case, which made him, a police officer who was used to seeing life and death, feel very comfortable. His tone became a little kinder:

"Don't worry. According to the doctor, luckily you guys rushed her to the hospital in time. Apart from the fact that she was immersed in the sea water for too long and her body temperature dropped significantly, she's not in too much danger."

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, Nohara Misae and Nohara Hiroshi immediately put their minds at ease.

They are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see a living life disappear before their eyes.

Just as the three were chatting, a heroic female police officer rushed over.

The female police officer walked straight to Officer Megure and began to report: "Officer Megure, the investigation results are out. The victim was knocked unconscious with chloroform, and then heavy objects were tied to his feet. Then he was thrown into the ocean with the swimming ring."

As she spoke, the female police officer took a deep look at the idle Huiyuan Ai, and then continued:

"According to the analysis of our colleagues in the forensic department, the victim was thrown into the ocean within two to three hours."

After hearing Sato Miwako's report, Officer Megure nodded and continued to ask, "Have you found out the identity of the victim?"

Shaking her head, Sato Miwako said regretfully:

"Time is too short, and the identity of the victim has not yet been investigated, but Officer Takagi has already gone to investigate."

At this moment, the door of the ward was opened, and a nurse in a white coat came out and said cautiously: "Mr. Officer, the patient has woken up."

After thinking for a while, she said, "The patient's condition is not right, Mr. Officer, please pay attention when you ask questions."

Officer Megure nodded silently, indicating that he already understood.

Afterwards, led by Inspector Megure, the group filed into the ward.

"Tsk!"

Seeing the victim sitting on the hospital bed, Ichinosuke couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

With delicate facial features, a pretty face, a small stature, and long, thick black hair, she can be said to be a great beauty.

However, what made Ichinosuke's heart jump was not her appearance, but her gray face.

There was no luster in those dim eyes, and on his face there was no fear or joy of escaping death, but only a calmness as that of a stagnant pool of water.

Everyone who entered the ward could clearly read four words from her face:

“I feel like I’m dead!”

"Hey!"

Youyou sighed, and Ichinosuke wanted to say something to persuade her, but unfortunately, when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

During the long wait in the hospital, Ichinosuke had recalled the case.

Although he had forgotten the names of the victim and the victim, Ichinosuke still remembered that this was a case in which a poor woman was murdered by an unfaithful man.

Many of the people who died in Conan had made mistakes of one kind or another. Perhaps this girl’s mistake was that she fell in love with someone she shouldn’t have.

Following Ichinosuke's sigh, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became even quieter.

Shrinking his neck, Ichinosuke realized that he seemed to have made the atmosphere even more depressing and awkward.

Well, not entirely, at least one heartless kid wasn't affected.

"Hello, big sister. My name is Nohara Shinnosuke and I am five years old."

Seeing Xiao Xin, the woman on the bed forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said with all her might: "Thank you, little friend. I heard from the nurses that it was you who saved me, right?"

A shy smile,

"Big sister, just call me Shin-chan."

His big eyes rolled around, and Xiaoxin didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he put one hand on his waist, pointed with one hand, and said in a very conscientious manner:

"Big sister, you can't cause trouble for others."

After a moment of shock, the woman on the bed said with a smile: "Xiao Xin, what you want to say is that you are causing trouble for others, right?"

Scratching his head embarrassedly, Xiaoxin smiled awkwardly and said:

“Hey, there is also such a saying.”

Xiaoxin's antics eased the depressing atmosphere in the ward a lot.

"Cough cough!"

After coughing twice to attract everyone's attention, Officer Megure began to question the woman on the bed:

"Miss, I'm sorry. Although I know you're not feeling well right now, I still have to ask you something."

Her face darkened and the woman nodded silently.

Although he felt reluctant, Inspector Megure still took out his notebook and asked:
