Chapter 632: A Very Strange Girl
Monday, January 4th, in the afternoon, Didan Primary School.
After school, Ayumi saw that Ayumi had packed up her things and walked out of the classroom slowly, so she ran up shouting, but Ayumi ignored Ayumi at all, and didn't stop until she was overtaken by Ayumi.
"Haihara-san, let's go home together." Ayumi invited.
Haihara-san, are you calling me? Haibara Ai, who was thinking about her situation, glanced sideways at Ayumi's petite face, yes, this is my name, my current name, and then fell into deep thought again.
Ayumi said disappointedly: "Haihara-san..."
Yuan Tai who came up said, "It's better to ignore her, she is really a girl with a lot of airs."
Mitsuhiko chased after him, and asked Hui Yuanai beside the shoe cabinet, "Excuse me, where is your home?"
"By the way, you just moved here." Ayumi stepped forward and smiled sadly at Haibara, "You're welcome, a few of us can take you home."
home? Turning his head and looking at Conan who was walking at the end, Haibara said with a sad smile, "No. 22, Mihuacho 2-chome, where I live now."
Strange? Conan thought to himself, if Mihuacho 2-chome 22, then it is near my house, but there is no apartment or building nearby, could it be that a new family named Huiyuan has moved in?
Yuan Tai teased: "What's the matter with you, Conan, could it be that you are interested in that airy girl?"
"No, absolutely not." Conan said quickly.
"Who are you interested in? Conan?" Ito Hui ran over, "I heard that there is a new student in your class who is as young as I am, so it must be this student."
"I've heard that too," Kujiro Fumino ran over to greet Haibara Ai, "Hello, my name is Jiujiu Fumino." Then he asked Conan, "Can you come to my house to play?"
Glancing at Ayumi who was standing in front of him with his back turned to him, Conan said helplessly, "Well, I still have something to do."
"Forget it, I'll ask you out later." Fumino Jiujiu said with a smile, "Then I'll go first, goodbye, Conan." After speaking, he took out the shoes from the shoe cabinet, put them on and left.
Seeing Ayumi looking at her, Ito Kei wrinkled her nose, "I didn't look for you again."
"Conan is in our class." Ayumi said.
Conan said to Ito Hui: "Don't you want to train? Go back quickly."
"I fell asleep last night, just to tell you, thank you for being with me in Hawaii." Ito Hui smiled, "Then goodbye." After speaking, he took out the shoes from the shoe cabinet, put them on and left.
"Xia, Hawaii!" Ayumi was taken aback, and turned to stare at Conan, "Did you go to Hawaii with her?"
Conan sweated, "Well, I was brought by sister Lan, and she was taken by her brother."
"Hmph, really." Ayumi said angrily.
"That's great, I want to go to Hawaii too." Mitsuhiko said.
"Is there eel rice in Hawaii?" Yuantai asked.
Seeing Conan wipe off his sweat, Haibara laughed sadly, this guy's campus life is really not lonely at all.
"Let's go, Huiyuan-san, let our boy detective team take you home." Mitsuhiko said,
"Young detective team?" Hui Yuanai confirmed.
"It was formed by me." Yuan Tai smiled, "Every day we have to solve various difficult cases entrusted by you,
We've all solved murders. "
"Oh," Haibara Ai asked, "Is that Edogawa-san too?"
"Of course, he is my subordinate." Yuan Tai put his hand on Conan's head.
Please, who solved those incidents? Conan thought helplessly.
Mitsuhiko said: "The place where we received the entrustment is Yuantai's shoe cabinet. You can see that it also says 'Difficult Incident Entrustment Office, First Grade Class Two Boys Detective Team', and the entrustment letter will be thrown in here."
"There are a lot of letters every day, and they are all from people who have encountered puzzles." Yuan Tai opened the shoe cabinet, but found that there was not a single entrustment letter, and said with an embarrassed smile, "There are usually a lot of letters, but today happened to happen, By the way, it must be because school just started.”
Usually there is nothing, Conan said: "Okay, let's go home quickly, and then go to the park to play football."
"Okay." Yuan Tai put on her shoes, but found something paper-like inside, she was overjoyed, "Wait, this must be a letter of entrustment." Then she took off her shoes and took it out for a look. The detective team goes to Class One, Grade One after school.
So, Ayumi took Hui Yuanai and went to Class 1 of the first grade together with Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta. They met the client of the incident, Okano Junya, and learned that it was his brother, college student Hiroya Okano who entrusted them to find him. On the afternoon of the first day after the start of the holiday, he said he would go out to have fun, and then he never came back.
Okano Jun also said: "The police are also looking for him, but they haven't found him yet. I think you may be able to help me."
Conan asked, "Did you receive a blackmail call?"
"No." Okano Jun also shook his head and said.
Mitsuhiko asked: "Isn't it just running away from home?"
Okano Jun also said worriedly: "How is it possible, he didn't go home during the Chinese New Year."
"That's right, there are a lot of delicious things to eat during the Chinese New Year." Yuan Tai said, and then excitedly shouted, "Okay, we have accepted this commission, and the young detective team is dispatched!" Then asked, "Uh, how should we investigate next?" Woolen cloth?"
Conan said: "Go to his house to take a look first, and then talk about other things."
"That's right, then let's go." Ayumi pulled Hui Yuanai again, "Haihara-san, you can come too."...
After three o'clock in the afternoon, outside Toshiya Okano's house in Kabanocho.
Pointing to Yihujian with a police car parked in front of the door, Okano Toshiya said to the Detective Boys and Haibara, "That's my home."
At this time, a middle-aged woman with a sad face and two policemen came out from Okano Toshiya's house. The policeman told the middle-aged woman: "Mrs. Okano, if you think of anything again, please inform the police again."
"I will." Mrs. Okano said.
After the police left, Mrs. Okano asked Junya Okano who brought the five of them over, "Shunya, are they your friends?"
"Excuse me." Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko said.
"Then please come in." Mrs. Okano said, and then asked Okano Toshiya, "Toshiya, what are you going to treat them with?"
"Please don't bother, we will leave after a while," Conan said.
"I see, that's alright." Mrs. Okano said, "Toshiya, I'm in the kitchen." She said and left.
Afterwards, the four Yuantai and Hui Yuanai were taken to Okano Hiroya's room by Okano Junya.
After putting down their schoolbags, the four of Genta began to search for clues, while Haibara Ai stood aside and looked at Conan with interest.
When Genta and the three were rummaging around, Conan found a wallet in the desk, and after confirming that it belonged to Okano Hiroya, he said seriously: "The wallet is still here, so it's not that he ran away from home, so he should have touched it." Something unexpected happened."
At this time, Ayumi found that there were many picture frames under the bed, so she took them out and found that they were all strange pictures, "It's really ugly, who drew this picture?"
"Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Gauguin, Cézanne, Hutriot." Conan read.
"These are all drawn by my brother himself," Toshiya Okano said, "My brother works in an art club and is very good at copying paintings of famous artists."
Yuan Tai said: "Could it be that he was kidnapped to paint?"
Mitsuhiko said: "It's possible, if he is asked to copy famous paintings and then trade with the real ones..."
"No, that's not the case. The sketch is indeed very good, but the color and brushstrokes are too bad, and it can't reach the level of making fakes," Conan said, "and the purpose of the kidnapping should not be for money. If If it was for money, I should have called for extortion, and I should have kidnapped you more than your brother, a high school student."
Okano Jun also asked: "Then now..."
"It's this painting that interests me." Conan said looking at a sketch.
"Huh?" Yuan Tai said, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere."
"Of course I've seen it," Mitsuhiko said with a smile, "This is Natsume Soseki, and his face is printed on the thousand yen."
"My brother is an admirer of Soseki, and this painting is his favorite work, and he even sent it to an exhibition in the town," Okano Toshiya said, "But because it was copied from the photo on the money, so People at the exhibition criticized him."
Yuan Tai asked: "Is this still a proud work?"
Okano Jun also said: "Because some people praised my brother, saying that he draws very well.
Conan asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Okano Jun also said: "It's a strange woman, wearing a black hat with a wide brim, and a black skirt, a woman in black clothes from top to bottom."
A woman dressed in pitch black from top to bottom? Conan's face changed, "When was that, when did you meet that woman? Besides that woman, is there any man in black clothes?"
"It's been a long time," Okano Toshiya said. "At that time, there was a man, and he was wearing a black suit. He was very strong, like a bodyguard."
Volt, vodka, Conan was taken aback, and then eagerly said to Junya Okano: "Take me to the place where your brother might go near here, he was probably taken away somewhere near here. If you look for it, you might be able to find something." After finishing speaking, he dragged Okano Toshio and ran out, Genta hurriedly chased after him on the third day, and Huiyuan Ai also slowly followed. ...
Kabado-cho commercial street, Mamehara coffee shop.
Pointing to the boss behind the counter, Okano Toshiya said, "This is Mr. Mamehara. My brother often comes to have a drink."
"It's Toshiya," Mr. Mamehara said, "Has your brother not been found yet?"
"Yeah." Okano Jun also sighed.
Conan asked: "Mr. Mamehara, have you ever seen a woman wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and a black dress?"
"You don't need to ask, the police have already asked me, and I didn't see anyone suspicious," Mr. Mamehara said, "People who are as eye-catching as you said should be impressed."
Conan said to Junya Okano: "Take us to another place."
Afterwards, a group of people walked around Kubato Shopping Street, but found nothing. The only thing they found was that the police had already investigated them one step ahead.
Passing by a convenience store, Ayumi said she was thirsty, so everyone accompanied her in to buy drinks, and happened to meet a cigarette buyer, bought a pack of cigarettes for 1,000 yen, and found 770 yen.
Seeing Conan's thoughtful expression, Ayumi asked, "What's the matter, Conan?"
Conan said, "It's weird to buy a pack of cigarettes with a thousand yen bill."
Yuan Tai said, "Maybe he didn't bring change."
Conan said: "And you can buy it from the vending machine in front of the store for 1,000 yuan. There is no need to go to the cashier here."
Mitsuhiko said: "It must be because the cigarettes he wanted to buy are sold out."
No, if I'm not mistaken, Conan jumped up to the cash register and snatched the thousand yen from the clerk, and immediately laughed when he saw it.
"What are you doing kid?" The clerk snatched the money back angrily.
"Call the police, the money is fake." Conan jumped off the cash register and chased after him, followed by Yuantai and his party.
While walking, Mitsuhiko asked, "Conan, what's the matter?"
Yuan Tai said: "What's going on? You just said fake money in the convenience store, is there any drama?"
"It's not filming, but someone is really committing a crime." Conan said, "There is a vending machine in front of the store, but the man went to the store to buy cigarettes on purpose, that is to say, the money in the man's hand cannot pass through the machine." detection, and if the subject is a human, it is easy to get away with it.”
Okano Jun also asked: "But what does this matter have to do with my brother's disappearance?"
"It's a big deal. Isn't the Natsume Soseki drawn by your brother imitating the head on the money? Maybe someone took a fancy to his painting ability and locked him up somewhere to ask him to help make fake banknotes." Conan Said, and then subconsciously said, "I still can't tell if that man has something to do with it, but maybe it's the black clothes that used drugs to make my body smaller..." Then he reacted and changed his words, "Just kidding, just kidding , It’s me talking nonsense, this is the American humor I learned.”
Mitsuhiko said: "I see, fantasy humor."
"Yes, yes, that's it." Conan breathed a sigh of relief, it's so dangerous, and then thought, they can't be involved in such a dangerous thing, but if this continues, the man will be lost again, so I thought of a way to stick a transmitter on my 1,000-yen bill, and then ran up to stop the man, saying that I found the 1,000-yen bill he dropped, and the man took the money back as expected. Then hurried away.
Yuan Tai asked: "Conan, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I picked up the money that person lost, and I have been thinking about whether to return the money to him, so I followed him. I finally wanted to pass it just now." Conan said.
"That's right, Conan," Ayumi said with a smile, "I can't take money that isn't my own."
"Yes, yes, I see." Conan said, and continued, "I haven't found any clues now, so I can only talk about it tomorrow. You go back to Junya's house to get your schoolbags, and I'll go to the front to buy something and go there right away." Said Run away. ...
