"Hey, you're saying he disappeared from your house?" Yuan Tai's distinctive voice echoed throughout Class 1-A.

A boy who looked very refined nodded: "Yes, my brother disappeared suddenly!"

Yuan Tai, never one to shy away from drama, asked, "Could it be a kidnapping case?"

But I guessed pretty much right.

Mitsuhiko, standing next to him, rubbed his chin and said, "I remember there have been similar cases before!"

Genta suddenly remembered the case of the missing cat and asked, "Your brother... he's not a cat, is he?"

The boy shook his head excitedly: "No, it really is my brother, who's ten years older than me! He disappeared one evening a week ago! He only told us he was going to a friend's house, and then he just vanished! Although the police..."

Kōyū didn't listen to the boy's account of the case at all. He kept his head looking out of the classroom door, but his feet quietly moved step by step to Ai's side.

After reassuring himself and encouraging himself, Kōyū said to Ai, "Haihara-kun, let's get acquainted! My name is Kōyū!"

Ai glanced coldly at Kousuke: "Ai Haibara."

Although only his name was mentioned, Guangyou was still very happy. After all, a tall building starts from the ground up, so take it one step at a time and there's no rush.

That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't suppress the smile on my face.

After a while, Conan pulled the still dazed Mitsuyoshi to the boy's house.

Conan pulled him the whole way. Looking at Kōyū like this, Conan sighed: "My God, Kōyū, who is usually like this, can be so infatuated. He's even more infatuated than Sonoko!"

"Junye, are these your friends?" A female voice finally broke Guangyou's daze.

The woman's voice belonged to Junye, who was also the little boy's mother.

Although Mrs. Nakata was saddened by her brother's disappearance, she still invited the detective team into the house.

After everyone came in, Mrs. Nakata seemed a little distracted. Everyone understood her feelings and went straight into Toshiya's room.

Ai stood to the side watching the other members of the detective team search for clues.

Kōyū would glance in Ai's direction every now and then.

Ai looked a little awkward and turned to Kōyū, asking, "How long are you going to keep watching?"

Guangyou's expression was somewhat unnatural, and he awkwardly scratched his head.

Upon seeing this, Ai thought to herself: Are these kids so precocious?

Turning to look at Conan, who was searching for clues, Ai Haibara's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Ayumi suddenly laughed and pointed at the paintings on the ground: "These paintings are so strange!"

Guangyou glanced at them and said, "They're all paintings by famous artists. The compositions are good, but they're lacking in other aspects."

Kōyū suddenly noticed a familiar face among the paintings, picked up the painting and said, "Natsume Soseki?"

Suddenly remembering something, Guangyou took out a 1000 yuan bill from his pocket and thought to himself: Sure enough!

Kwang-woo sighed, stood up, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Jun-ye-nii was kidnapped to make counterfeit money!"

Conan took the painting of Natsume Soseki from Mitsuyuki's hand and nodded: "That should be it. This painting of Natsume Soseki looks very similar."

Junye remembered something and said, "Speaking of Natsume Soseki, my brother admires him the most. He took this painting to an art exhibition, but only a strange woman dressed in all black praised my brother's painting."

Conan got excited when he heard that the whole body was black, and thought to himself: Could it be the Raven Organization!

Ai pursed her lips. Although she disliked the organization, or even hated it, the organization wouldn't stoop to counterfeiting money.

Conan always had endless curiosity and motivation about the Crow Organization case, so he dragged Jun out to look for clues in the vicinity.

Ai followed him out slowly. As he watched Ai's retreating figure, he thought to himself: If even time travel can't change you, then I've failed miserably!

The sun checked the time and realized it was almost time to go home, so it slowly set.

Ayumi was thirsty, so she greeted Conan, and the others followed her into the convenience store.

Guangyou glanced at a man next to him, sniffed him, and frowned. Guangyou noticed that the man had a peculiar smell, a smell that Guangyou had also smelled in a counterfeit money workshop in his previous life.

The man took the change and left. Guangyou said to the cashier, "Sister, the money that man gave you might be counterfeit! You should check it quickly!"

The cashier took out the 1000 yen bill she had just received, and upon looking at it, exclaimed in surprise: "It really is counterfeit!"

Upon hearing this, Conan quickly followed the man in the direction he had walked.

The rest of the Detective Boys followed, and just as they were about to lose the man, Conan pretended to return the money and stuck the tracker to the banknote. When the man saw the 1,000 yuan banknote, he panicked and quickly snatched the money back.

As the sky gradually darkened, Kōyū said to the remaining members of the Detective Boys, "You guys go back first. Conan, Ai, and I will go buy some things nearby. We'll look for my brother tomorrow."

Conan mentally gave Mitsuyu a thumbs up; Conan had no intention of getting the children involved in such a dangerous operation.

Ai pointed to herself: "Hey, do I have to go too?"

Guangyou nodded: "I need to talk to you about something!"

Hearing this, Ai didn't object. She didn't want to leave anyway; she wanted to play a little prank on the shrunken detective.

Ai originally thought that if Conan asked her to go back as well, she would invite the remaining three members of the Detective Boys along, but since Mitsuyu had already invited her, she decided to let it go.
