Zongman: Starting as a Prop Master

"Guangzi, I thought you, wuwu..."

Nestled in the arms of Tomoko Yamada, Mitsuko Sekine finally let go of all her burdens and guard, and tears flowed down her face.

Neither of them paid any attention to Dr. Tanaka, who was standing frozen at the door, not knowing what to do.

It wasn't just Dr. Tanaka and Tomoko Yamada who were brought to the hospital; there were also several other uninvited guests following them.

"Brother Maori, why are you, the plague god, here?"

Inspector Megure looked at the grinning middle-aged man with a mustache with an unfriendly look, full of disgust, as if he had seen a big green-headed fly.

"Ha ha!"

Maori Kogoro was shameless, completely ignoring the unspoken disdain of Inspector Megure, laughed, and came over with a shameless face:

"Officer Megure, long time no see. Also, calling me a plague god is too much."

With dead fish eyes, Inspector Megure looked at the guy who was smiling frivolously and had no self-awareness.

"Then why did you get involved in this case?"

The smile stopped, Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and looked at Dr. Tanaka, explaining:

"Because I had a conflict with this guy in the bar, when Officer Sato went to call for help, he brought us along."

Kogoro Mouri did not come alone. Following him were Xiaolan, who looked worried about him, and Conan, whose eyes were rolling around as if he was looking at something.

Out of detective instinct, Conan quickly scanned the surrounding environment and people as soon as he arrived at the ward.

So, he naturally saw Shin-chan being held in the hands of Nohara Misae.

"Why is this kid here too?"

He had heard that a case had happened, so he begged Kogoro Mouri to come with him.

But I didn't expect to meet Xiaoxin here.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis that came from nowhere surged into Conan's heart.

On the other side, as if with telepathy, Shin-chan also noticed Conan in the crowd at a glance.

With a shake of his body, he skillfully broke free from Nohara Misae's grasp and quickly came to Conan's side.

"Hey, isn't this my good friend Conan? What are you doing here?"

Without waiting for Conan to answer, Shin-chan raised his eyebrows and said to Conan as if he were a fellow traveler:

"I see, Conan, you're here to pick up a beautiful big sister too, right?"

After saying that, Xiaoxin leaned forward, rubbed against Conan, and said with a beaming face:

"Conan, you are so bad. I didn't expect you to know so much."

After a while, Xiaoxin stopped doing mischief.

He smacked his lips twice, and with an expression that said, "It's a pity that you're late," he said to Conan with regret:

"Tsk tsk, Conan, you're too late. The big sister has already been picked up by me."

"Picking up the elder sister?"

Next to Conan, Mao Lilan was originally happy that Conan had a good friend coming to say hello.

But before she could respond, she heard such a remarkable word.

With her gossip queen bestie Yuanzi around, even though she had never been to those places, she more or less knew from her about the existence of words like "picking up corpses".

Blinking her big eyes, Mao Li Ran looked at Shin-chan and Conan with a strange look.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the warning given to her by her best friend Sonoko.

"Xiao Lan, the kids nowadays are all very smart. You have to be careful and don't let that nasty kid take advantage of you."

She nodded silently. In fact, ever since seeing Shin-chan's mature performance on Tsukikage Island, Mao Li Ran has been keeping a proper distance from Conan.

Looking back now, I feel more and more that my decision was correct.

Children nowadays mature much more precociously than she imagined.

Chapter 95: The Arrogant Murderer

After looking at the two best friends who were hugging each other and crying loudly, Inspector Megure had no intention of disturbing them for the time being.

He walked straight to Dr. Tanaka and took out his police ID.

"Dr. Tanaka, I'm Inspector Megure of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. I have a few things I want to consult you about. Could you please come with me?"

Officer Megure asked for a quiet meeting room in the hospital and began his interrogation.

"Dr. Tanaka, according to Ms. Sekine Mitsuko, she was attacked while waiting for you on the shore. Someone used...brother...um...brother..."

"Chlorophon!"

Seeing that Inspector Megure didn't come out for a long time, Haibara Ai couldn't help but remind him.

Gratitude nodded to Huihara Ai, and Officer Megure coughed dryly to cover up his inner embarrassment. He shamelessly asked Dr. Tanaka as if nothing had happened:

"Yes, it's this chloroform. Miss Sekine Mitsuko was knocked unconscious by this thing. As a doctor, I think it should be easy for you to get this thing."

His heart skipped a beat, but Dr. Tanaka, who had been prepared, calmly explained:

"Please, Officer Megure, you are not mistaken for the murderer, are you? Chloroform is not a rare thing. Anyone can get it if they are willing."

As he spoke, Dr. Tanaka looked at Mao Li Kogoro, who was just standing by, with an innocent look on his face and asked:

"Isn't that right, Detective Maori?"

Just now in the bar, after Tanaka learned about the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, he deliberately provoked the other party, attempting to make this famous person serve as the key person for his alibi.

Although he doesn't know why Mitsuko Sekine survived, he might as well make use of this great detective now.

On the side, being used by this annoying guy, Kogoro Mouri had a gloomy face, but had to nod his consent.

Regardless of his past as a member of the police force or his current professional ethics, he could not lie at this moment.

Seeing Maori Kogoro nod with a dark face, Dr. Tanaka smiled smugly at Inspector Megure, showing an expression that said, "As you can see, it is so." He said with a smile:

"Inspector Megure, is there anything else you want to ask? I will do my best to cooperate with you."

Seeing the smug look on Dr. Tanaka's face, Officer Megure frowned and did not refute. Instead, he turned around and took an evidence bag from the forensic officer next to him.

"Mr. Tanaka, you should be familiar with this thing."

In the evidence bag was a shrunken purple swimming ring.

His pupils shrank as Dr. Tanaka recognized the swimming ring at a glance. This was the item he used to make his alibi.

Soon, Dr. Tanaka regained his relaxed attitude and asked in a puzzled manner:

"Inspector Megure, it's just a swimming ring. Is there anything special about it?"

With a sullen face, Inspector Megure looked at Dr. Tanaka, who looked calm and meticulous, and began to piece together the case bit by bit.

A few minutes later, Inspector Megure had just finished describing the case and before he could ask any questions,

Dr. Tanaka suddenly stood up angrily and slammed the table.

"Officer Megure."

With a look of fear on his face, Dr. Tanaka roared hypocritically.

"This is too abominable. You must catch the murderer who killed Guangzi."

The look of worry he portrayed seemed real, and it was disgusting to watch.

On the side, Conan, who had been watching Dr. Tanaka, suddenly asked, "Uncle, where did you buy the swimming ring?"

"From……"

Just as he was about to blurt out the answer, Dr. Tanaka suddenly reacted.

"brush!"

His back was instantly wet with cold sweat, and when Dr. Tanaka looked at Conan, he felt embarrassed, annoyed, and a little scared.

"Little devil, you want me to casually say that I bought this swimming ring, and then let the police convict me, right?"

After mocking Conan, Dr. Tanaka turned his attention to Maori Kogoro.

"Or is this a conspiracy of some great detective?"

Yelling loudly is just to cover up one's guilty conscience.

He was almost there, just a little bit, and he would follow the kid's words and tell him the fact that he bought the swimming ring himself.

Keep this palpitation in your heart.

Dr. Tanaka waved his hands exaggeratedly, looked at Maori Kogoro with disdain, and shouted:

"Come on, could it be that the famous detective Maori Kogoro relies on letting children mess up to solve cases?"

Although Conan was very upset with this arrogant criminal, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up for his sharp eyesight:

"Haha, you really guessed it right. Uncle Maori really relied on a kid like me to solve the case."

Being constantly provoked by Tanaka, he happened to see Conan rolling his eyes, as if he was mocking him.

Suddenly, Maori Kogoro felt that the fire of ignorance burning in his heart seemed to have found an outlet.

He clenched his fist and smashed Conan's head hard, then picked up Conan and threw him aside, saying impatiently:

"Little boy, go away and make trouble. Don't disturb the adults in their investigation."

Conan, who was thrown away by Kogoro Mouri, got up from the ground nimbly and rubbed the big bump on his head.

"Damn it, uncle is such a jerk. He always takes his anger out on a kid."

Conan complained, but he walked to the side obediently.

He is not stubborn, Kogoro Mori will really do it.

On the other side, Conan was seen being beaten.

Xiaoxin walked up to Conan, stretched out his short hand, and curiously poked the big bump on his head, while not forgetting to preach:

"Conan, you are not behaving well."
