"Sister, I think you should hurry up and call the police. The bill just now is counterfeit."

  "Hey! Little brother, what's going on? Wait..."

  At this moment, Conan has left the convenience store.

  "Conan wait for us!"

  The detective team's partners followed Conan closely, while Haibara Ai was walking slowly behind her, keeping an eye on Conan. She can now confirm that this Edogawa Conan was taking APTX4869. Kudo Shinichi. .

Chapter 91

  Soon Conan caught up with the man in black who was buying cigarettes, and followed him closely. At this time, the rest of the detective team also caught up, and Ayumi shouted while chasing: "Wait a minute, Conan, you What happened?"

  Hearing the voice, Conan stopped, Ayumi and others hurried to Conan's side, Yuan Tai said curiously: "What's going on? In the store just now, how do you say that bill is counterfeit?"

  Hearing their words, Conan hurriedly made a silent motion, carefully looking at the man in black who was walking away, and explained in a low voice, "This man just used a thousand yen bill to buy cigarettes, right? However, there was a vending machine in front of the convenience store just now, but he had to go to the convenience store to queue up to buy cigarettes. This might be a problem. I guessed it might be counterfeit money. After all, counterfeit money can't fool vending machines, but It would be much easier to deceive people, as long as the counterfeit money is realistic enough to deceive the salesperson.”

  Jun also said to Conan: "But, this has nothing to do with my brother's disappearance~ ah."

  "Why doesn't it matter? It's a big relationship here. Think about it, your brother's most proud painting is the portrait of Soseki in the summer, which is the figure on the thousand-yen bill, and we've seen it before. Your brother was in The portrait of Soseki Kazuya shown in the exhibition is exactly the same as the one on the thousand-yen bill. So, I'm sure the kidnappers wanted to kidnap him and force him to help make counterfeit money."

  "I just remembered when Conan said that. The portrait on the thousand-yen bill is indeed from Summer Soseki. It seems that this is an important clue."

  Mitsuhiko clapped his hands and said excitedly.

  "Okay! The young detective team, keep going!" Yuan Tai said energetically.

  But Conan didn't feel good at this time. After all, the other party was a gang that made counterfeit money, and it would definitely be very dangerous. If these children were to follow him, he was afraid of something unexpected, so he walked aside and took out a coin from his pocket. Zhang Zhang a thousand-yen bill, attached a signal transmitter to the bill, and then quickly chased in the direction where the man in black left, seeing Conan running away, the detective team also chased Conan.

  Just after chasing behind the man, Conan shouted loudly, "Brother, you lost your thousand-yen bill."

  As soon as the man in black turned around, he saw Conan waving the banknotes behind him, as if thinking of something, he suddenly walked up to Conan angrily, grabbed the money from Conan's hand, and said angrily, "Give it back to me!"

  Just as the man in black snatched the money and put it in his pocket, the detective team all followed. Conan knew that they couldn't let them talk. He was afraid that the children would miss the point, so Conan first explained: "I just chased after him. It's because he lost his money, I just gave it back to him, it's alright, let's go back."

  Conan followed the detective team to Jun Ye's house. After all, their schoolbags were left at Jun Ye's house, but before a crossroads, Conan suddenly said to everyone: "Yuan Tai, you go first, I suddenly have something to do, first Let's go. By the way, Mitsuhiko helped me get my schoolbag and take it to school tomorrow, thank you!"

  After Conan left to say goodbye to everyone, he immediately turned on the glasses tracker, and the whereabouts of the man in black were displayed on the glasses.

  The man walked away with the thousand-yen bill I had attached to the tracker. Now as long as I follow the tracker, I can find him, and this guy may even take me to the lair of the Black Organization.

  When Conan left the detective team, Haibara Ai had been observing Conan. Ayumi walked forward for a while, but found that Haibara Ai was still standing there, so Ayumi turned around and said to her: "Haihara classmates, we Got to go."

  Haibara looked sadly at Ayumi and said, "Do you just leave Edogawa-san to leave you?"

  Conan looked at the convenience store at the train station in front of him and was a little blinded. The tracker showed that the man in black should be here, why not?Suddenly Conan seemed to understand something, walked directly to the convenience store, and politely asked the salesperson, "Excuse me, have you seen a man in a black hat? By the way, he is wearing a black trench coat and a pair of sunglasses. And long hair."

  The salesperson replied: "I see, he also bought a [-] yen bottled coffee from me for [-] yen. I was particularly impressed by him. His attitude was very cold, and the thousand-day There is also a strange sticker on the dollar bill."

  "And then? Do you know where he went?"

  The salesman thought for a moment, pointed in the direction where the man in black left, and said, "After he bought the canned coffee, he seemed to go there to make a phone call. I remember he put all the change on the phone, and it was there. While on the phone, until the change on the phone is used up, I think he should have called for ten minutes."

  "He didn't ask you to exchange all your coffee for one hundred yen or ten yen coins?"

  "Yes, but there were no one hundred yen coins at that time, so I put one without one hundred yen, and found him a total of eight hundred and ninety yen."

  After listening to the salesperson's words, Conan stood on the spot and thought.

  The guy exchanged seven hundred and seventy yen coins at the supermarket, seven hundred and seventy yen coins can be divided into one five hundred yen coin, plus two hundred yen coins plus one fifty yen coin and two A ten yen coin.

  I used five hundred-yen coins and eleven ten-yen coins to make a phone call, making a total of [-] yen, plus the [-] yen I found at the convenience store, which can be divided into one Five hundred-yen coins, plus three three-hundred-yen coins, plus nine ten-yen coins.

  In this way, he spent at least [-] yen coins on the phone for ten minutes, which means that he must be making a long-distance call. This is the station. Will he take the tram to meet the person on the phone?

  Just when Conan was thinking, a cleaner walked up to Conan and asked kindly, "I'm sorry, little brother, do you know the young man in the black hat?"

  "Hmm! That's right!"

  The old man said happily: "That's great, you can help me give this to that person. That person left the ticket machine in a hurry and forgot this fifty-yen coin."

  Conan looked at the coin in his hand and said suspiciously, "Fifty yen coin? Is that the ticket machine?"

  The old man pointed to the ticket machine in the east and said, "It's the ticket machine in the east."

  "Do you know what button he pressed?"

  "Well, I only remember that he put a [-]-yen coin, and then saw a bunch of coins fall down, but at that time I only paid attention to the garbage under his feet, and didn't pay attention to the others."

  "Thank you, then I'll go find him now."

  After speaking, Conan left. He came to the ticket machine on the east side and carefully observed the price of the tram fare displayed by the ticket machine.

  A pile of loose change falls, indicating that there are at least three coins in it. If you put in five hundred yen coins, the station that has a chance to drop three one-up coins is...

  Soon Conan's attention was attracted by the ticket price of [-] yen at Odama Station. Conan's brain was spinning rapidly, constantly calculating the fare.

  Subtract [-] yen from [-] yen, and the answer is [-] yuan. With the characteristics of the ticket machine, the customer will get back one hundred yen coin, one fifty yen coin, and three ten-day coins. Yuan coin, then this is right. The old man picked up a fifty-yen coin before, indicating that the possibility of Dadujian Station is very high.

  Thinking of this, Conan bought a ticket for Dadujian station directly, and then sat in Dadujian, but after arriving at the station, Conan quickly sent him to the car and ran down, looking around for people wearing black hats, but after searching for a long time, Conan could not find it.

  Standing at the gate of the station where people come and go, Conan can't help but fall into deep thought again.

  Is there something wrong with my thinking?No, no, I have no problem with my thinking. Their stronghold should be there. Since they want to print counterfeit money, they will definitely need a place, so I should go to the real estate agent and ask, maybe there will be any clues.

  Soon Conan came to Negishi Real Estate on the edge of Odoma Station.The person in charge did not dislike Conan as a child, but was very serious about helping Conan find it.

  "Are you sure it's a warehouse?"

  The person in charge confirmed the search target to Conan again.

  Conan nodded affirmatively and said in a sure tone: "Yeah! It's the kind of unobtrusive warehouse, for example, in the suburbs, no matter what you do, it won't attract attention. Has anyone come to rent it?"

  The person in charge carefully checked the recent rental records, and then said to Conan, "There is no warehouse rented out recently."

  "Maybe they rented it a few years ago."

  Conan said reluctantly.

  The person in charge sighed, squatted down, touched Conan's head, and said, "Little boy, you will hinder my work like this, hurry up and go home with your friends! It's getting late."

  "my friend?"

  "Yes! A few of them should be your friends, right?"

  The person in charge pointed and lay on the window, Conan's friends.

  Conan looked at them in surprise, and said helplessly, "How many of you? How come?"

  At this time, Conan's friends also walked into the room. Among them, Yuan Tai said angrily: "Do you think we will be fooled every time?"

  Mitsuhiko agreed and said, "Conan, you are the most sneaky person."

  "Then why are you here?"

  Mitsuhiko pointed at Haibara Ai with admiration on his face and said, "Thanks to the reminder from Haibara classmates, we chased after him."

  Ayumi explained to Conan: "Haihara-san told us after you left that you wanted to get rid of us and investigate the case secretly."

  Conan muttered in his heart.Ye Fan's sister is too smart, isn't she?Could it be that Ye Fan specially sent his sister to monitor him.However, this idea was quickly rejected by Conan. What did Ye Fan do to let his sister monitor him as a primary school student?

  At this moment, Jun also suddenly asked the person in charge: "Uncle, is there any novelist living near you?"

  The person in charge bowed down and looked at Jun Ye and asked, "Why are you asking this, little kid?"

  "Novelist? Why are you asking this?"

  Conan didn't understand why Junya asked this, and was a little curious.

  Jun also turned his head to look at Conan and said, "After my brother disappeared, our family received a call from him."

  "What? A phone call from your brother? Why didn't you tell me earlier."

  The members of the young detective team said in unison angrily.

  Jun also explained a little embarrassedly: "Because it was my grandma who answered the phone, my grandma's ears are not good, and my brother speaks so fast, grandma didn't quite understand what my brother was saying, the only thing she could hear clearly was my brother. With someone who looks a lot like Summer Soseki."

  "You should tell the police about this kind of thing!"

  Mitsuhiko was very angry.

  "It's up to you to tell the police, but no one like Natsume Soseki was found near our house. So, the police said at the time, maybe my grandmother remembered it wrong, or who was playing a prank. However, the police's The explanation was not right, my grandmother said my brother's voice was shaking and he hung up before finishing the call."

  After listening to Junya's remarks, the person in charge suddenly said to the crowd, "Well... there is indeed a person nearby who looks very similar to Natsume Soseki."

  After hearing what he said, everyone was stunned. I didn't expect that there really was someone who looked like Natsume Soseki nearby.

  Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, the person in charge continued: "He is the manager of the corner bookstore, and he has a nickname called 'Thousand Yuan Banknotes'."

  "That's right! It's him."

  After talking about the detective team, they dragged the person in charge and ran out, saying to the person in charge, "Uncle, please help us, we are looking for 'thousand-yuan bills' to trouble you!"

  Although the person in charge was an adult, he couldn't stand the sudden attack of the group of children, and he was afraid of hurting the children, so he didn't try to break free, so he showed them the way in front of him, but he kept mumbling something along the way. , expressing his inner dissatisfaction.

  Dadujian corner bookstore entrance.

  "You brats, are you kidding me? What thousand-dollar bills, you give me out, all go out."

  A man who looked exactly like Natsume Soseki shouted angrily at the children of the detective team.Conan and the others ran out of the corner bookstore as if they were running away.

  The person in charge of the Dadujian intermediary said with a displeased face: "I persuaded you not to come, but you must come."

  Ayumi patted her small chest and said with lingering fears, "You scared me to death just now."

  Yuan Tai secretly observed the owner of Yijiao Bookstore and whispered, "What's the matter with that boss? Why is he so fierce?"

  Mitsuhiko said suspiciously: "It's too suspicious, there must be something wrong with this boss."

  "No, on the contrary, there is nothing wrong with this boss. The case we investigated has nothing to do with him. I went to the warehouse of this bookstore just now, and there is no printing machine for printing counterfeit banknotes."

  The person in charge seemed to remember something, touched his chin and said, "Speaking of the printing press, I remember that a private newspaper in front of Dadujian Station seemed to have just bought a new printing press recently."

  Conan looked at the responsible person with a solemn expression and said, "Huh? Newspaper?"

  "That's right! It's the building next to the police station. The third floor of the building is a private newspaper office. It was rented through us two years ago."

  The person in charge pointed to the building next to the police station with a firm tone.

  "What kind of people are people going in and out of?"

  "The president of the newspaper is a woman who often wears a black wide-brimmed hat. The newspaper is not very large, and there are not many people, but they are not printing fake banknotes, but "Intelligence Magazine", and that There is a police station next to the building, how could they print fake money next to the police station! Okay? No matter what you have, it's already very late, you don't play any detective games, go home and sleep , or else you will be out of spirit in class tomorrow!"

  After speaking, the person in charge of the agency turned around and left. After all, he had been running around with these little devils for a long time, and his shop was still open.
