"These are actually drawn by my brother." Jun also said quite proudly, "He was in the art club of their high school, and he was famous for being good at imitating paintings of famous artists!"

Yuan Tai had an idea: "In this case, he must not be tied up to paint, right?"

"It is indeed very possible, maybe it is to let him imitate famous paintings, and then switch with the real ones." Guangyan said.

"No, it's not enough." Conan carefully examined these paintings and compared them with the famous paintings in his mind. "The composition of the paintings is indeed very similar, but his brushstrokes and colors are still far behind."

For example, the flowers on the hat of "The Weeping Woman" are dark blue in the original painting, but the re-engraved painting is lavender, probably to distinguish them from the original painting on purpose.

"Not to the point of being a fake."

"Besides, the purpose of the kidnapping doesn't seem to be money. If the kidnappers want money, they won't kidnap your brother, a high school student, but they might kidnap you."

"I'm more curious about this painting."

Conan set up a drawing board with a portrait of Natsume Soseki on it.

"It looks familiar."

"This is Natsume Soseki."

"Well, my brother's idol is Natsume Soseki." Toshiya nodded and said, "It's because he likes this painting so much that he took it to the exhibition."

"However, because this painting was drawn according to a photo, everyone who watched it seemed to complain. There were only two strange women who praised him for his good painting." Jun also recalled the situation at that time.

"Two strange women?"

"Well, one of them was carrying a black umbrella and wearing a black gown, while the other woman was wearing a hat with a deep brim and was all black from head to toe."

"The woman in black..."

Hearing the words black clothes, Conan immediately thought of the black clothes organization, and he became excited all of a sudden, and his whole body was tense.

Gin and vodka.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with them?Are these two women related to them too?

"When, when did you meet them?" Conan grabbed Junya's shoulder nervously, shaking slightly, he was so anxious that his cheeks were sweating.

Conan thought to himself: The last time he lost Tequila, the people in the organization may have been alerted. Maybe they have already investigated the area of ​​​​Mihua Town, and the possibility of meeting them again is very high.

It also means that it becomes more dangerous.

"About ten days ago."

"Apart from that woman, are there any men in black clothes?" Conan asked.

"Well, there are three." Jun also described, "I also saw them talking."

"What did they say?"

"I don't know about this. I was far away at the time and didn't hear it."

Could it be that people from the Black Organization kidnapped Junye's brother?

If this is the case, the situation will be very bad. He was drugged by the man in black to try to silence him just by witnessing the transaction. Toshiya's brother may also be in danger.

"Where is your brother going around here? Take me there quickly. His wallet, student ID card, and bus ticket are all in the drawer, and his bicycle is parked in front of your house. I think your brother is probably nearby They were taken away by those kidnappers!"

Conan makes a judgment.

Now that he has an inference, he must act quickly.

Haibara Ai, who was watching from the sidelines, was also concerned about his words.

A black umbrella and a black robe, she remembered Winnet always dressed like this.The man didn't like to wear bright colors, and although he was only a beginner in art, he liked to look around at art.

However, ten days ago...

It was already the time after Gin and the others informed her of Winnet's death, that is to say, if the person who watched the art exhibition was really Winnet, then her death news was undoubtedly false.

But it's still possible.

Possibly it was the woman in Belmode, or someone else who was proficient in disguise.If this is the case, the organization's considerations are really quite perfect, even if she escapes for a while, she will be caught and punished sooner or later.However, she still believed that Winnett was still alive in this world. With a woman as strong as her, who could be her opponent?

Perhaps Akai Shuichi is good enough, but in front of Winnett's monster-like talent, no matter how good he is, he can only look up to him.

How could she, who can enter the land of no one by herself, encounter misfortune in the headquarters of the organization?

Perhaps it was because of being nervous all day long under the supervision of the organization that he felt a strong sense of uneasiness and thus burst out new worries.Haibara thinks that she is too pessimistic. As a popular star in the United States, it is impossible for Belmode to stay in Japan for a long time for a "little person" like her. It was forged by Belmode.

Like this kind of thing, the woman who hated her might do it. Even if the relationship between them has eased because of Winnett, it still can't be called friendly.

Will Winnet have something to do with this incident?

Hui Yuanai followed the young detective team and searched in cafes, playgrounds, department stores, alleys, hotels, parks and other places, but to no avail.

Seeing Conan's panting appearance, she thought to herself, after becoming a child, his physical strength has also dropped significantly.

Conan held onto the railing on the side of the road and wiped the sweat off his cheeks with his hands.

They had already searched for places where Brother Junye might go, but no one said that he had seen him, nor had he seen the woman in black.

What is he anxious about? This kind of thing should have been left to the police, shouldn't it?

There are so few clues, are there any new clues?

"Conan, can I go to the convenience store next door? I'm suddenly a little thirsty." Ayumi said pointing to the convenience store.

Well, change your mind.Conan and others followed into the convenience store.

Conan, who was standing at the door, happened to witness a man buying cigarettes. He spent 1000 yuan but only bought one pack of cigarettes. It was really strange.

Before he entered this convenience store, he saw the vending machine in front of the door, and the cigarette brands he bought were also the styles that can be seen everywhere, and he didn't have to go to the store to buy the category.

The reason for using 1000 yuan bills...

Could it be that!

Conan ran to the counter and asked the staff: "Sister, show me the 1000 yuan bill that the man used just now."

"what?"

Seeing that the man was about to walk away, Conan couldn't wait, jumped up to the cash register, grabbed the latest 1000 yuan bill from the cash register, and aimed it at the light.

No watermarks!

At this time, the clerk who felt inexplicable snatched the money from Conan's hand.

"What's the matter with you kid?"

"You'd better hurry up and call the police, this is a counterfeit bill." Conan didn't bother to explain to her that he had to track down the man quickly now.

Because the character printed on the Japanese 1000-yen bill is none other than Natsume Soseki, the idol of Brother Toshiya—the character on the portrait that he copied extremely well.

Conan rushed out of the store.

Seeing this scene, Hui Yuanai was thoughtful.

Was Winnet involved in such a thing as counterfeit money?

If it is really related to her, then from now on, it is a dangerous journey to pursue the organization.

……

235 Night Exploration Printing Factory

Conan continued to run, found the figure of the man who had just bought cigarettes, then switched to his usual walking pace, and followed behind him.

The members of the detective team were puzzled by his actions and hurried to catch up.

"What the hell is going on, how do you say that is a counterfeit note?"

Conan made a hissing gesture.

"This man has a 1000-yuan bill, but he didn't use the vending machine in front of the convenience store, but went to the store to queue up to buy cigarettes. That is to say, the one he used was a fake one that couldn't be used on the machine." money."

"But counterfeit banknotes are much easier to fool people's eyes."

"But Conan, this has nothing to do with my brother's disappearance." Jun was also extremely puzzled.

"This has a lot to do with it," Conan turned his head to look at Xiang Junye, "Just now you saw a portrait of a certain person among the paintings your brother drew."

Hui Yuanai had already thought of it.

"Natsume Soseki."

Her words reminded everyone who was in confusion.

Conan was amazed at Haibara's reasoning ability. If he was a child, he might not have thought of this quickly.

"Yes! Maybe someone valued his painting ability, locked him up somewhere, and asked him to help print counterfeit banknotes."

"Whether that's the case, I'm not sure yet. But maybe it has something to do with the men in black who used drugs to shrink my body."

Conan accidentally slipped his mouth. Seeing Ayumi's puzzled look, he realized what a stupid thing he had done, and quickly smiled haha.

"I'm talking nonsense!"

Conan touched his head, indicating that he was only joking.

Hui Yuanai, who witnessed this, thoroughly confirmed his identity, not only that, but also understood why he was being targeted by Qin Jiu.

100% because of his arrogant and reckless personality, he followed Gin when he saw him.

No matter what the consequences are.

Like now.

Hui Yuan Ai is worried about his personality, if he pursues Winnet, one can imagine what will happen.

The premature death of the mouse will only trouble her, and if the secret of ATPX4869 is discovered, she will also be in danger.

Now he may be in danger, should she stop him from continuing to explore?

It is better to find out the approximate location of the man just now and determine whether it is related to the organization.

Conan was relieved when he saw that he was being fooled.

But he was still troubled, if the whole incident was really related to the Black Organization, they couldn't be involved in such a dangerous thing now.But if this continues, he will lose that man.

Conan couldn't find a good way for a while.

He simply rushed behind the man, took out a 1000-yuan note, and called to him.

"Brother, did you drop this 1000 yuan bill?"

When the man saw the 1000 yuan bill in Conan's hand, he immediately panicked, grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms, and then fled in a panic.What he didn't know was that Conan had already glued the transmitter sticker on the back.

After that, Conan explained to the people who were chasing him, saying that he chased after him specially to return the coin to the man.The trio, who trusted him, had no doubts and continued to worry about looking for Brother Toshiya.

The air is getting cooler, the sky is a rosy red, and night is coming soon.Conan flicked a few people back to Junye's house to pick up his schoolbag and go home, but he said that he had to go to a place, and rushed out along the zebra crossing towards the green street lights.

Haibara Ai already knew what Conan did. She knew about the equipment he obtained from Dr. Ali, and she also guessed that Conan was going to chase the man before him alone.

"Haihara-san, let's go!" Ayumi called her.

"I also have some things."

She judged that the group of children should not be involved, and moved along the same route.

The three giants of Di Dan saw the two leaving in the same direction one after another, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that they were deliberately dismissed, so they discussed secret operations in private, tracked Conan and Xiao Ai, and used their poor tracking skills all the way to the station .

Haibara Ai described Conan's characteristics to the staff, knowing that he bought a ticket at Daduma Station, and after purchasing the same ticket, she exposed the botched tracking of the Big Three.Seeing that they didn't look like they would give up, she simply told them that the reason why Conan ran away alone was because he wanted to track down the previous man alone.

Now that it is impossible to stop, it is necessary to prevent them from getting involved in danger at the critical moment.

If the target was a group of children, based on what she knew about Winnet, Winnet would never do it.If it's just an ordinary counterfeiter, killing a child is no good at all, and there is Kudo Shinichi present.All things considered, she didn't forcefully stop them.

In the end, they successfully traced Conan and saw him running into a real estate agency.

The three giants of Di Dan were lying on the glass, their faces flattened like electric eels, and their dissatisfaction almost overflowed their pores.

At this time, Conan was asking about the composition of the land near the intermediary.

"Uncle, is there a warehouse near here?"

"storehouse?"

"Well, it's the kind of warehouse that is inconspicuously located in the suburbs and does nothing to attract attention. Has anyone rented it?"

"Let me see," the middleman uncle with meteor hammer bangs flipped through the records, "No warehouse has been rented out recently."

"Maybe they rented it years ago."
