In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1444 I am an eyewitness

In a ramen shop, a person dressed in full armor walked out of the shop and looked around.

"Hey! Guest!" the boss called out hurriedly as he saw the other person leave.

"Ah!" The other person turned and ran away. It seemed they hadn't paid and had tried to dine and dash.

"Hey! Stop right there! Stop right there!" Seeing this, the boss hurriedly chased after him. The other person also hurriedly hid in the gap between the houses and managed to get away, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Sigh~" He sighed as he looked at his former boss.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaoxin asked curiously, looking at the man who rushed in.

"Ah!" The other person was startled by the voice, but relieved to see it was a child. Looking at Shin-chan, they asked, puzzled, "What are you doing hiding in a place like this?!"

"While playing hide-and-seek, I'm also playing the role of an adult who's tired of Saitama's city life~" Shin-chan shrugged and casually looked at the other person.

"...What kind of game is that?!" Hearing Shin-chan's words, the other person's lips twitched, and they retorted speechlessly.

Shin-chan ignored him, suddenly jumped down, looked at something on the ground, picked it up, and said, "Hehe~ I found a hundred coins."

The man looked at Shin-chan, somewhat embarrassed: "Really? That's great."

"Big brother, you're not a suspicious person, are you?" Shin-chan looked at the other person suspiciously and asked directly.

"...No, no, no, no! I'm not suspicious at all, okay?" The man shook his head repeatedly, looking at Shin-chan speechlessly.

"Then what are you doing in a place like this?" Shin-chan continued to press.

The man was taken aback: "That's because, well, that's it. To be honest, Saitama is such a tiring city." After holding back for a while, he finally said what Shin-chan had just said.

"So, what are you two doing?" Mingxu looked at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, speechless. No, Xiaoxin, how can you even talk about this?

"Huh?" The man paused, then looked at the two people in front of him with a puzzled expression when he saw another child appear. "You two are...?"

“Twins,” Mingxu said calmly.

"...Did you drain your brother of all his nutrients?" The man looked uncertainly at the two figures in front of him, one big and one small. But upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right. The child's features were more typical of modern children. However, had the older one been given hormones?

"No." Mingxu shook his head, while Xiaoxin looked at the man and said, "Then as your senior, I'll listen to your troubles, okay?"

"Who do you think you are, senior?" The man looked at Shin-chan speechlessly and shook his head.

Shin-chan looked at the other person and said, "You need to be confident in yourself first, so you can't cover your face." As he spoke, he climbed up to the other person and took off his mask and sunglasses, revealing his face.

"..." Mingxu grabbed Xiaoxin speechlessly, apologized to him, and then turned and left.

Watching them leave, the man subconsciously followed, but the path the two little ones took was too crowded, and he couldn't get out.

Meanwhile, the boss, unable to catch up with the other party, angrily went to the police station to call the police.

"That bastard! He ate all the ramen I painstakingly cooked!" the owner exclaimed angrily.

"Alright, sir, please calm down. What does the prisoner look like?" The officer looked at the shopkeeper, reassured him, and asked.

The boss was taken aback: "Ah, he covered his face with sunglasses and a hat, so I didn't know..."

"Oh, so what's your restaurant's signature dish?" a voice came from the side.

The owner was now confident: "Of course it's char siu ramen!"

"Is the egg soft-boiled?"

"No, we're fully cooked... Hey, who are you guys?" The boss turned around and saw a child pulling another child, looking helpless. Mingxu didn't expect that the kid would dart past in the blink of an eye.

"Chief of Criminal Investigation, should we track him down?" Xiao Xin asked the officer, looking at the notebook he had somehow produced.

"Huh? Who are you?" The uncle looked at Xiaoxin helplessly. This kid is so outgoing.

“My name is Nohara Shinnosuke. I can’t just leave someone in trouble, you five-year-old. Right, Asahi?” Shinnosuke said, his gaze involuntarily drifting to Asahi beside him.

"Hiss~ Yes, yes." Mingxu's lips twitched. This brat, he's even resorting to moral blackmail now?

"Ah, well. I appreciate your kind offer to help with the case." The officer looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly and decisively refused him.

"Don't be so xenophobic," Shin-chan said, shrugging.

"We shouldn't be so formal!" the boss said, looking at Xiaoxin speechlessly.

Mingxu tried to pull Xiaoxin away, but the kid slipped away like a cicada sheathing its shell and continued to stare at them: "So, officer, what were you doing at 2 PM yesterday?"

"Uh, I wasn't on duty yesterday, uh... why are you investigating my alibi!" The officer looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly. This little guy is quite slippery.

"You went on a date with your girlfriend, right?" Xiaoxin said, shrugging as he looked at him.

"Uh, yeah, how did you know?" the uncle asked somewhat shyly.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking about this and hurry up and find the culprit!" The boss looked at them speechlessly and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Well, that makes sense. Little friend, is there something you need here?" The uncle looked at Shin-chan with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Xin nodded, took the clothes from Ming Xu's hand, put them on, and then took out a hundred-yuan coin from his pocket: "Here you go, I found a hundred."

"Ah, so that's why you brought it over. You're so good." The uncle took the coin, looked at Shin-chan, and said with a smile.

"Because I'm a very well-behaved child, and I just overheard a suspicious older brother talking about his troubles," Shin-chan said proudly.

"A suspicious older brother?" The two were taken aback, and the shopkeeper said urgently, "Wait a minute! Isn't he the man wearing a black hat, black clothes, and sunglasses?!"

“Yes.” Xiaoxin nodded. Mingxu looked at him with some puzzlement. It seemed that Xiaoxin’s arrival here was related to that person.

"Great!" the boss exclaimed happily.

"What's so good about him? He's just a criminal who ate and dashed." The uncle looked at the shopkeeper helplessly.

"Yes, that's him!"

"I also saw the big brother's face, and Xiao Xu saw it too," Xiao Xin said, pointing to Ming Xu beside him.

Mingxu sighed. It seemed there was no way to stay out of it.

"What does he look like? Please tell me in detail?" the uncle asked nervously.

Shin-chan tilted his head, trying hard to remember: "Hmm... he has big eyes, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and his mouth is just a normal mouth." He even gestured to his face with his hand as he spoke.

Mingxu added from the side, "He has fair skin, a thin face, and a slightly pointed chin."

As Shu Fu listened, he took notes in his notebook, while the boss listened anxiously beside him, occasionally interjecting, "Yes, that's exactly how it is, that wretched fellow."

As the man listened to their explanation, he began to scribble and draw on the paper. Then he turned the paper around and looked at them, asking, "Is this what it looks like?"

“That’s not quite right.” Mingxu shook his head.

Shin-chan shrugged: "I really can't do anything with you. Otherwise, I'll draw something for you." With that, Shin-chan took the drawing paper from the uncle's hand and started drawing.

"Alright." After a while, Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin's drawing and fell silent.

"Hiss~ What a fierce-looking face! Is this someone from the underworld?"

"It must be the boss, but which gang is he from?"

"No, no, this is our kindergarten principal. Besides, he has nothing to do with this." Mingxu sighed, and with no other option, he took the paintbrush from Xiaoxin's hand and quickly started sketching on the paper.

A short while later, a fairly realistic portrait was presented to everyone. The officer looked at the painting, his eyes lighting up: "Hmm, this is quite good; it's very close to what I picture the criminal in my mind. With this, our search will be much easier."

Xiao Xin looked at the painting, scratched his head, and said, "That's right, something seems to be missing. That's it! Art is an explosion!" With that, Xiao Xin began to draw on the painting that Ming Xu had finished.

"Wait a minute!" The uncle and the shopkeeper were in a hurry, but Xiaoxin had already finished drawing. Looking at the person in the drawing, Mingxu scratched his head: "Actually, it's fine if he draws it like this."

"Huh?" The two were taken aback.

"A short rest! Isn't this a short rest?" The shopkeeper looked at the painting, suddenly paused, and said urgently.

"Who's stingy?" Shin-chan scratched his head.

“My son who ran away from home 13 years ago, um, hey kid, tell me quickly, where did you see Xiaoxi?!” The boss looked at them anxiously.

"This way." Mingxu didn't waste any more words and led them back to the alley they had just come from. But to his surprise, this guy was still here.

"Take a short nap!"

"Dad..." Xiaoxi looked at the boss, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Your eyes really are like that..." The uncle looked at Xiaoxi, somewhat speechless.

What follows is a conversation between the boss and his son.

After their excitement subsided, Xiaoxi was pulled out of his reverie from another angle, whereupon the restaurant owner complained to him, "Why did you try to dine and dash?"

"No! How could I do such a thing? I clearly left the money there!" Xiaoxi shook his head and shouted.

"So, so you didn't see that banknote, boss?" The man looked at his boss speechlessly, realizing he had wasted his time.

"I'm so sorry. Well, to thank you for your help, let me treat you to a delicious bowl of ramen, and the two kids too."

"Okay," everyone agreed.

Xiaoxi looked at her dad and said, "Wow, Dad is so handsome! I want to become a ramen chef just like him!"

"Alright, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Let's get started."

"what about the taste?"

"...Just average," Shin-chan muttered.

Mingxu covered Xiaoxin's mouth and said, "It's so delicious!" He then gave a thumbs up.

The owner's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Shin-chan's words, but he quickly smiled again: "Haha, the little guy is quite straightforward. But it's okay, I'll keep working hard to make even better ramen."

Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with love and passion for ramen. They ate their ramen and chatted, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

The policeman smiled and said, "We really owe a lot to these two kids today, otherwise this case would have taken a long time to solve." The shopkeeper patted the policeman on the shoulder: "Yes, these two little guys really helped a lot."

After eating, everyone went their separate ways, some returning to their posts, others going home.
