Kumai Jun also nodded slightly and said: "Because my brother's idol is Natsume Soseki, he specially painted this painting and sent it to the art museum for exhibition.
But because this painting was based on a photo, everyone who went to the exhibition seemed to have some complaints.
The only person who praised my brother for his good paintings was a strange woman wearing a black hat and dressed in black from head to toe."
Nani!!!
When Conan heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly asked: "When was it? When did you meet that woman?"
"Well... about ten days ago."
"Besides the woman in black clothes, are there any men in black clothes beside her?"
"There were indeed two men in black clothes."
Hearing the affirmative answer given by Shunya Kumai, the images of gin and vodka appeared in Conan's mind unconsciously.
Could it really be them?
"Junya, your brother may go to those places nearby, please take me to those places quickly!"
"???"
Looking at Kumai Junya's puzzled expression, Conan explained anxiously: "Your brother's wallet is at home, and his ticket and student ID are also there. He will definitely not go too far. Maybe he was kidnapped nearby.
of."
"That's right! If you search nearby, you might be able to find something?" Yuantai and the others suddenly realized.
"Quick, let's go!"
When he thought that this kidnapping case might be related to the black organizations that made him smaller, Conan couldn't control his eagerness and pulled Kumai Junya and rushed out the door.
"Conan, wait for us!"
Seeing this, Ayumi followed closely with Genta and Mitsuhiko.
Looking at Conan and the others leaving, Haihara Ai couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, she didn't tell Conan her true identity, otherwise it would be too easy to be deceived by him.
Judging from Conan's behavior just now, Haibara Ai can guess that he must have regarded those kidnappers as people in the organization.
Regarding Conan's desire to become an adult, Haibara Ai said it was understandable, but his approach was still too impulsive.
The Black Organization is not an ordinary criminal gang, they are a powerful international criminal group.
Not to mention Conan bringing a group of children, even if he brought dozens of police officers, he might not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed by the group.
However, based on Haihara Ai's understanding of the black organization, she knew very well that the members of the organization would not waste time kidnapping ordinary people.
Therefore, Kumai Junya's brother was definitely not kidnapped by members of the organization.
Otherwise, Haibara Ai, who avoids the black organization, would have long ago found a way to leave with Suzuki Seimei and the others.
"Xiao Ai, let's go too!"
After Suzuki Qingming finished speaking, he naturally took Haibara Ai's little hand and chased Conan and the others in the direction they left.
Under the leadership of Shunya Kumai, Liu Xiaozhi visited nearby coffee shops, game arcades, department stores, and other places where his brother might go, but he never found any clues about his brother.
Because Suzuki Seimei's physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, even after running for more than an hour, he still looks energetic.
But Conan and the others were different. They were all exhausted and panting.
Especially the obese Yuanta, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion and panting like an ox.
Noticing the thin layer of sweat on the foreheads of Ayumi and Haibara Ai, Suzuki Seimei suggested: "I think everyone seems to be tired. Why don't we go to the convenience store to buy some drinks first and take a rest?"
Just for a while!”
"I...I agree!"
"I feel so thirsty too~"
"Then take a rest!"
After hearing what Suzuki Seimei said, everyone raised their hands in agreement, even Conan was no exception.
After the initial impulse, Conan gradually regained his composure. He had too few clues in his hand.
Instead of flying around like a headless fly, why not relax your mind and reorganize the collected clues to see if there are any important missing clues?
"welcome!"
"These are 430 yen in total. Thank you for your patronage."
“Welcome next time!”
"Please give me a pack of light cigarettes."
"A total of 770 yen for you."
While Suzuki Seimei and the others were choosing drinks and snacks, Conan's attention was suddenly attracted by the conversation in front of the counter.
"Conan, what drink would you like to drink?"
Seeing Conan standing there in a daze, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Don't you think it's strange? That person just spent a thousand yen, but he only bought a pack of light cigarettes."
Yuantai, who was picking snacks, heard this and replied without thinking: "What's so strange about this? Maybe that person didn't bring any change."
"No! Since he has one thousand yen, he can buy cigarettes from the cigarette vending machine in the convenience store. There is no need to queue up to buy cigarettes."
Mitsuhiko thought for a while and said, "Could it be in the cigarette vending machine? All the cigarettes that person likes happened to be sold out, so he queued up to buy cigarettes."
"It is possible, but I think there is another possibility, that is, this one thousand yen bill cannot be used in cigarette vending machines."
In the middle of his words, Suzuki Seimei turned to Haibara Ai and the others and asked with a smile: "Do you still remember the portrait of Natsume Soseki we found in Toshiya's brother's room before?"
"The portrait printed on the one thousand yen banknote is Natsume Soseki." Haibara Ai said subconsciously with a glint in his eyes.
Mitsuhiko said with a sudden look on his face: "You mean, after those people kidnapped Junya's brother, they actually wanted him to help make counterfeit banknotes?"
"That's right!"
Conan nodded, walked quickly to the counter, and said coquettishly in a childish voice: "Sister, can you show me the thousand yen bill used by the customer just now?"
???
When the beautiful clerk heard this, she blinked in confusion.
Time is running out!
In order to verify his conjecture, Conan rushed directly to the counter, reached out and grabbed the thousand yen note, and shined it on the electric light.
There is no watermark, so it is indeed a counterfeit banknote.
"Sister, I advise you to call the police as soon as possible! This banknote is counterfeit."
Before the beautiful clerk could say anything, Conan put the banknotes back, jumped off the counter, and chased after the man who had used the counterfeit banknotes.
"Conan, wait for us..."
Upon seeing this, Yuantai and the others rushed out without thinking.
