\"You said your brother was gone?\" Before I could enter the door, I heard Yuantai's loud voice.

\"Well, my brother he was all of a sudden.\" Walking into the classroom, a boy in a beige shirt replied.

\"Is it kidnapping?\" Yuantai's thought...

Very good and powerful.

\"Please wait a minute...\" Mitsuhiko stopped the other party's reply.

\"I think there was a similar case before.\" Mitsuhiko replied thinking, rubbing his chin.

\"Speaking of which...\" Ayumi seems to remember something, too.

\"The past is unbearable.\" Conan is deeply aware of this.

\"The brother you're talking about can't be a cat, right?\" Motota looked at the boy, the person who gave the letter, a boy named Shunya.

\"No, it's really my brother who is 10 years older than me.\" Jun also replied to Motota.

"He didn't see him that evening a week ago, he only told us to go to a friend's house, and he never came back.\" Shunya recounted the situation.

"The police are also helping us find him, but we haven't found him yet.\" Shunya also briefly explained the progress of the matter.

\"I think you maybe... Can you help me.\" Shunya said, then lowered his head.

\"Then did you get any threatening phone calls?\" Motota and Mitsuhiko looked at each other, then asked Shunya.

"There's no phone at all.\" Jun replied.

"Could it be that he ran away from home?" said Motota as he guessed.

\"Brother, he won't run away from home, because... Because...\" Jun retorted loudly.

\"Because my brother and I have a good relationship.\" This answer, very good and powerful.

\"Then did your brother call?\" Xiaobai suddenly asked.

\"How is this possible, you just heard that no one was making a threatening phone call to his house.\" Yuan Tai looked at Xiaobai.

\"Speaking of which...\" Jun also seemed to think of something.

\"My brother called once during the time he was missing.\" Jun also replied as he looked at Xiaobai.

\"Nani?\" Motota, Mitsuhiko and the others all looked at Shunya.

\"But didn't you just say...\" When Yuan Tai wanted to say something, he seemed to understand and stopped.

\"Because it's my grandmother who answers the phone, and she has bad ears, and my brother speaks fast, so she can't hear what is said clearly.\" Jun also looked at Xiaobai and said.

\"The only thing she heard was her brother saying that he seemed to be with someone who looked a lot like Natsume Soseki.\" Junya continued.

"Natsume Soseki...\" Xiaobai said in his heart.

\"...\" As for the gray plain on the side, he glanced at Conan, and then looked at Xiaobai.

\"Anyway, let's go to his house first.\" Get some information that you deserve, and Conan also suggests on the side.

\"Thank you.\" Joon smiled slightly when he heard Conan seem to believe in himself.

\"Okay, the Junior Detective Corps is dispatched.\" Yuan Tai said in high spirits and ran outside.

Subsequently, several people followed.

\"You just said that your brother called and said that he was with a person who was very similar to \"Natsume Soseki\", right?\" After several people ran out, Xiaobai grabbed Shunya.

\"Hmm.\" Jun also nodded.

"What is your brother's job occupation?\" Shiro asked Junya.

\"He hasn't graduated yet, so he hasn't a job yet.\" Jun also shook his head and replied.

\"Then he must have his own specialty, right?\" Xiaobai continued to ask.

\"Well, my brother likes to draw a lot, and my brother is known for being good at imitating paintings by famous artists in their high school art club.\" Junya replied with a smile as if he remembered something.

"Famous paintings...\" Xiaobai said softly.

"Is there a painting of Natsume Soseki?" asked.

\"Well, my brother's idol is Natsume Soseki, so he drew a picture of Natsume Soseki.\ and took it to the town to exhibit.\" Shunya replied excitedly.

\"However, the painting was painted according to the photograph, so everyone who went to the exhibition seemed to criticize it, and the only one who praised him for his good painting was a very strange woman.\" Jun also seemed to remember the scene at that time.

"Hmm, strange woman, how strange is it?\" Xiaobai was slightly stunned.

She wears a hat with a large brim and is black from head to toe.\" Jun describes as a "strange woman".

\"That's it...\" The smile on the corner of the little white mouth was even worse.

\"Well, can we go?\" Looking at Xiaobai in front of him, Junya asked softly.

\"Hmm.\" Xiaobai nodded.

...

"Why are you here so slowly?\" Outside the school gate, Yuan Tai shouted at Xiaobai and Jun with a grin.

\"It's okay, I just asked Junya a few questions.\" Xiaobai replied with a smile.

"Question??\" Yuan Tai asked with a slight squint.

\"Compared to this, you better hurry up and go to Shunya's house to search for some clues.\" Xiaobai smiled.

"Yes, let's hurry up.\" Hearing the word "clue", Motota became excited, and then pulled Shunya.

"Hey, hey..." Mitsuhiko and the others followed.

\"Can you slow down.\" Conan followed.

\"Aren't you going to keep up?\" Gray Yuan looked at the few people who had already run away, and asked Xiaobai beside him.

\"I'm not going.\" Xiaobai shrugged.

"I guess the reason why you didn't go was because you just asked Shunya a few questions.\" Gray Yuan said as if he had seen through everything.

"Bingo, a chocolate.\" Xiaobai snapped his fingers, and then, after clenching his palm, he opened it in the god, and a chocolate was placed in the palm of his hand.

\"Who is rare...\" Gray Yuan took the chocolate, and then turned his head away.

\"Okay, you go with them, be careful on the road.\" Xiaobai smiled at Gray Plains.

\"Hmm.\" Gray Plains nodded, and then also trotted to keep up with Conan.

As for Xiaobai, he went in the other direction and did not keep up with Conan and the others.

\"Natsume Soseki, the only thing that exists is the 1,000 yen of the yen.Because the 1,000-yen note is common, it is almost impossible to use a money counter or identify the authenticity.If the 1,000-yen bill can be fake...\" Thinking of a possibility, it has only one purpose.

\"Fake chao.\" Xiaobai smiled confidently.

And on the other side.

"Hey, why didn't Xiaobai come along?" Not far from the school, Ayumi watched as only Gray Yuan walked over.

\"He said he couldn't go.\" Gray Yuan replied.

\"Xiaobai really has no team spirit.\" Yuan Tai said with both hands in his arms.

"Well, there must be something wrong with Xiaobai.\" Mitsuhiko explained on the side.

\"Hmph, if he doesn't go, then we'll go by ourselves, and when the case is solved, I will envy Xiaobai.\" Yuan Tai was in high spirits.

\"...\" This expression is changing so fast.

\"Junya, what did Xiaobai ask you just now?\" Conan frowned, and then asked Junya.

\"Well, he asked something about my brother.\" Jun replied as he looked at Conan.

"What's all about it?" Conan asked hurriedly.

\"He asked me what my brother's profession was, because my brother hadn't graduated yet and was still in high school.\" Shunya replied.

"Then what else is there?" you tell everything he asked.\" Conan said as he looked at Shunya.

\"I think about it, he asked my brother about his strengths, and I replied that my brother likes to draw, especially imitating famous paintings.

\"Because Natsume Soseki is my brother's idol, of course my brother has Natsume Soseki's painting.\" Shunya replied truthfully.

\"And after that?' did he ask anything?\" Conan continued.

\"I didn't ask anything else, but I told him that my brother's painting had been exhibited in town, but everyone who saw it criticized the painting, and the only one who complimented him on his painting was a woman wearing a hat with a large brim and a head-to-toe black outfit.\" Joon replied to Conan.

\"Whole body... Black...\" seemed to think of something, and Conan's pupils narrowed.

\"That guy...\" Conan seemed to have something in mind.

\"Where did that guy go?\" Conan asked, looking at Graybara.

\"In the opposite direction of the school.\" Gray Yuan pointed in the direction of Xiaobai's departure.

\"Damn... That guy...\" Conan hurriedly ran in the direction of Xiaobai's departure.

\"Conan...\" Yuan Tai and the others called Conan, and also trotted after Conan.

"Don't mess around," Conan exclaimed in his heart.
