Chapter 72: Going out in the wild and returning home with nothing left
After receiving Junya's request, the first thing the Young Detective Team and the team did was to inquire about the specific situation in detail.
Jun Ye confirmed to them again and again that his brother would not run away from home, and there were no threatening calls or anything like that at home.
Next, a group of people rushed to Junye's home, hoping to find some clues.
Of course, I roped in Haihara Ai, a new classmate.
In Junya's home, they found a wallet in Junya's brother's room, and concluded that he had indeed not run away from home.
In addition, they also found many paintings in Toshiya's brother's room, the most outstanding of which was a portrait of Natsume Soseki.
At the same time, Conan also heard from Junya that when this portrait was exhibited, only a woman dressed in pitch black praised it.
Alarm bells suddenly sounded in Conan's heart.
Because the most striking feature of the black organization that made him shrink was its crow-like black clothes.
Seeing that Junya's brother was probably taken away by someone from that organization, Conan, who had been trying to track down their clues, suddenly became excited, and his whole body was full of motivation to investigate the case and find the person.
Then they searched all the places where Junye's brother might have gone, but they couldn't find any clues.
At this moment, under Ke Xue's arrangement, they happened to find a suspicious man in a convenience store.
…
The young detective team is not far behind the man wearing a black peaked cap.
On the way, Conan explained the reason to others:
This man bought a pack of cigarettes with a thousand-yuan bill, but there was a vending machine at the door.
This shows that the banknotes he used are likely to be unable to escape the detection of the machine, but it is difficult for the human eye to distinguish between genuine and fake banknotes.
The portrait printed on the thousand-yen bill happens to be Natsume Soseki, whom Toshiya's brother is best at painting.
In this way, driven by Ke Xue, they magically connected the two.
After explaining, Conan felt deeply that taking these children would not only hinder his pursuit, but might also put his friends like him in a dangerous situation.
So he found an excuse to send the Young Detective Team and Junya away, and designed the man to bring banknotes with tracking stickers on them.
But when he chased him to the station, he found that the man had disappeared into the sea of people, and he didn't know where he was going.
Then, Conan began to show his reasoning ability, and based on the amount of money the man had used and the sound of change when buying tickets at the ticket vending machine, he deduced that the man should have gone to Otoma Station.
He gritted his teeth and got on the train bound for Otoma Station.
…
The man is in a pretty good mood.
A week ago, the painter of their "Silver Fox" group was unable to continue painting due to an accidental injury to his right hand. So they kidnapped a young man whom the eldest sister had spotted at an art exhibition. This young man could make Natsume Soseki's paintings come to life.
During this week, they forced the young man to help them create many counterfeit thousand-dollar bills.
Although the eldest sister later said that the thousand-yuan banknotes were opaque and would be recognized by people or machines, posing risks to them, the man could not help but use them when he was told to go out to buy paint.
Counterfeit banknotes can almost look like real ones.
He had never heard of Murphy's Law, and he didn't know that it was precisely because of this luck in his heart that others caught his tail.
Moreover, those who were secretly following him were a group of primary school students.
He carried two bags of paint used to make counterfeit banknotes. After getting off the bus at Otoma Station, he walked directly from the stairs to the third floor as usual, preparing to report to his eldest sister.
The man had no idea what he would face.
He didn't realize anything was wrong at all, so he didn't deliberately stop his footsteps.
The two people who were tied up in the room listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and watched the robber in black holding a gun and walking towards the door of the room as if he heard something. They couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
How to play with this kind of pig teammates!
They watched in despair as the door to the room was opened from the outside, and then their last accomplice walked in unsuspectingly, carrying two large plastic bags.
Then he ran into the muzzle of a black hole.
"Surprise!"
Yuan Huaiyu whistled and drew the muzzle of the gun on the forehead of the guy in front of him who turned pale with fright.
Surprised or not? Unexpected?
Just when you went out to buy something, your nest was taken away in one fell swoop!
And all your good friends have been taken down!
At this moment, the man finally realized the situation he was facing. Seeing his companions who were tied up, sitting or lying on the side, his brain was a little shut down.
Ten minutes later, under the eyes of his two companions, he was tied up and sat down next to them.
The woman in black, the leader of the Silver Fox, also woke up from her coma because of this movement.
Yuan Huaiyu punched her hard on the bridge of her nose, and now any small movement on her face would cause huge pain.
Yuan Huaiyu's punch not only had the intention of incapacitating the woman in black, but also contained some personal emotions.
He remembered clearly that after the woman in black discovered and controlled the young detective team who came to the newspaper office to look for clues, she actually had to do such an unreasonable thing as to shoot the children one by one to urge Junya's brother to work faster.
Things come up.
So he took heavy action against this guy who was so cruel that he had no conscience at all.
As soon as the woman in black woke up, she found that her hands were tied behind her back and she was lying on the ground.
Struggling to sit up, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
My other three male accomplices were now under control. They looked at her fiercely, their eyes wandering and they did not dare to look at her.
It's so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing.
The cunning and vicious "Silver Fox" gang, which had brought countless troubles to the police, was actually wiped out in the hands of a robber.
Even the old nest was destroyed in one fell swoop.
"What on earth do you want to do!"
The woman in black looked at Yuanhuaiyu with gritted teeth and questioned.
"Oh, you seemed to have fainted and didn't hear, right..."
Yuan Huaiyu knelt down and looked directly into her eyes.
"I've been interested in your newspaper for a long time, and I'm here to rob it this time."
"I just didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."
Yuan Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: "It seems that you are not just running a serious newspaper? A serious newspaper will not have so many counterfeit banknotes and tools for printing counterfeit banknotes..."
When the woman in black heard this, her momentum suddenly weakened a bit.
What a shame, she actually fell into the hands of a robber.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
The woman in black gritted her teeth. She knew that if she didn't pay a price this time, she might not be able to do anything good.
Fortunately, what they were doing on the other side was not something that could be seen in public, at least it would not alert the police.
If you show enough sincerity, we might even be able to have a good talk.
