"Each one is very similar!" Looking at these paintings, Mitsuhiko was amazed in hindsight.

"All of these paintings were painted by my brother." After listening to Mitsuhiko's words, even though he was anxious, Jun still showed a trace of pride, "My brother joined the art club in high school, and he is very good at copying the works of famous artists!" ”

It turned out to be a high school student, Conan nodded,

"So......" Motota said suddenly, "Hey! He must have been kidnapped to paint, right? ”

"Possibly!" Mitsuhiko slapped his thigh suddenly, "If you let him copy famous paintings, and then drop the bag with the real thing......"

Gray Yuan chuckled.

"No, it won't." Ignoring the gray plains on the side, Conan held a painting, "These sketches are indeed good, but the colors and brushstrokes are too bad." Not at all to the level of a fake! Moreover, the purpose of the kidnapping is not money. Looking back at Shunya, "If it's for money, I should kidnap you more than your brother, a high school student!" ”

"But ......," Conan glanced at the sketch in his hand, "the most important thing is ......" he raised the painting in his hand, "this." ”

"It's ......," the crowd leaned in.

"It's familiar...... Ayumi looked at the portrait in the picture in a daze, and muttered, "I seem to have seen ...... somewhere"

"Natsume Soseki."

Gray Yuan spoke lightly again, and suddenly everyone's eyes changed from surprise to admiration.

"It's amazing......" Mitsuhiko muttered to himself as he looked at his cold pretty face.

"Yes," Shunya next to him nodded and said, "Brother is an admirer of Natsume Soseki!" Because I liked this painting, I sent it to the exhibition in town! ”

"Wow~~~" Ayumi exclaimed. "That's amazing!"

"Hey, no!" Joon smiled embarrassedly, but then became confused, "It's just that because he copied the photo, he was criticized at the exhibition, but there was a strange woman who praised him." ”

"Strange woman?" Conan looked at Shunya suspiciously.

"Yes!" Shunya gestured and said, "A woman wearing a hat with a wide brim and dressed in pitch black from top to bottom!" ”

Conan didn't think much of what others said, but Conan's nerves suddenly collapsed.

"When?" Conan grabbed Shunya's shoulder, "When did you meet that woman?" ”

"Probably ......" Joon was also taken aback by Conan's sudden movements, "Ten days ago!" ”

10 days ago...... As soon as Conan gritted his teeth, it was the day Masami Hirota died!

"Beside her," Conan's eyes burst into a cold glow, "are there still two men in black!" ”

"Right...... That's right! Jun was stunned for a moment, "There are indeed two men in black!" ”

Conan's head seemed to have been slammed by a hammer, and there was a faint feeling of dizziness in front of his eyes, and the pain that seemed to melt his muscles and bones was once again faintly surging in his bone marrow!

GIN！ VODIA！

"Take me to where your brother frequents!" Conan stood up slowly, and when he really heard this answer, his face was surprised with a hint of calmness.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the tea-haired girl beside her, and then she regained her composure.

"Huh?" Jun next to him was stunned.

"His wallet and other belongings are still in his desk, and his bicycle is in front of his house." Conan said calmly, "There's a high chance that your brother was called somewhere around here, and then taken away!" ”

"That's right!" Mitsuhiko also reacted, "If you look around......"

"Maybe we'll find some clues!"

"Good! Come on! Conan grabbed Shunya's hand and took it away and rushed straight outside.

"Wait! Conan! The three of them also hurriedly followed.

Gray Yuanai, who was walking at the end, looked at the figures of several people running away, a strange look flashed in his ice blue eyes, smiled slightly, and still followed.

......

"Where are you now?"

In the deep alley, a figure was sitting on the eaves, looking at several figures in the distance, his pale golden eyes flashed slightly.

"I'm sure I'm still alive if I get your call."

“...... What about her! The figure's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again.

"......" The voice on the other end of the phone fell silent.

"I can only say," it seemed to be a long time before the slightly hoarse voice of the man on the other end of the phone came, "I have written down this hatred." ”

Hearing this, the figure breathed a sigh of relief, "If you say that, you mean ......"

"Forget it!"

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became stern, and then it changed to a deep voice, "Don't mention this again!" I ......"

"It's not your fault." The figure interrupted the voice of the person opposite, "Anyway, this can be regarded as the end of regret to a certain extent!" ”

"yes!" The man's sneering voice came from the other side of the phone, "Regret of life and death!" ”

"......," the figure sighed, "but it's not here at all." ”

"I'll be back in a while." There was a moment of silence, and the man's voice came through the phone, "When the time comes, it's time to settle the ......"

"Let's settle it all down!"

The phone hung up, the figure sighed softly, and looked at a few smaller and smaller figures in the distance, and a terrifying golden color erupted in his eyes for a moment.

"Gin...... Vodka! ”

......

"Damn! Coffee shop! Game Room! Department store! Behind the alley! Shunya's brother may have searched all the places he was called, but no one saw him that day! Or have seen a woman in black! Conan struggled to calm his heavy gasps, "What the hell am I looking for?" The police should have done this kind of thing a long time ago! There are still too few clues! Got no clues? Can't find any other clues? ”

Conan tried his best to calm his chaotic mind, and the sequelae of forcibly calming himself down just now suddenly broke out, causing him to be upset for a while.

"I'm not you after all! Charlotte. Looking up at the sunset in the distance, a wry smile appeared on Conan's face.

Pulling out his phone, Conan thought for a moment, shook his head again, and slipped it back into his pocket.

"It can't go on like this." Conan walked, followed by a group of panting young detective group members, including Gray Plains, whose brown hair was slightly messy. But unlike the others, she doesn't know when she has an extra cup of iced coffee in her hand.

"Now, Conan, can I go to the convenience store? I'm thirsty! Ayumi couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in proposing to Conan.

"Oh..... All right! Conan unconsciously looked at the coffee cup in Gray Yuan's hand, slightly distracted, and replied casually.

Coffee...... Convenience store ...... Natsume Soseki ......
