Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 289 The case is on the fast track because of Conan

"Mom! I'm back!" Jun Ye shouted to the middle-aged woman.

"Junya is back...Is this your friend?" Mrs. Tanaka looked at Conan and his group.

"Hello, aunt!" the three little ones greeted enthusiastically.

"Hello, come in quickly, and Detective Hanomiya, I'm really going to trouble you this time." The middle-aged woman said softly. Although there was a smile on her face, the smile seemed forced.

"Madam, please don't worry, I will find you soon." Akira Yumiya said with a confident smile.

Now that Conan is here, no matter where the previous case progresses, it will definitely enter the fast lane in the future.

He believed there would soon be clues about the missing high school student.

Not long after, the group of people was ushered into the house by Mrs. Nakata and brought to Toshiya's brother's room.

"This is the child's room. Detective Hanomiya, please feel free to investigate." Mrs. Nakata said.

Yu Gongming nodded and looked at the room.

The furnishings in the room are quite simple, but they are reasonably clean.

The young detective team also followed Junya into the room.

"Toshiya, you can take your friends to other places to play, and don't affect Detective Hanomiya's investigation." Mrs. Nakata looked at Junya and said.

"Auntie, we are also a young detective team entrusted by Junya to investigate the disappearance of Junya's brother!" Mitsuhiko said immediately.

"Huh? Boys... detective team?" Mrs. Nakata was stunned.

"Well! They are very famous in the school and have helped many students solve their difficulties!" Junye introduced.

"Mrs. Nakata, these children are acquaintances with me. Let them stay here. They will not affect me." Akiya Hanomiya said.

"Okay." Since Akira Hanamong didn't mind, Mrs. Nakata said no more.

Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Nakata, the group began to search the entire room.

However, Xiao Ai was not involved.

On the one hand, she has no interest in this kind of thing, and on the other hand, two famous detectives are currently participating in the investigation. It doesn't matter whether she joins or not.

"Eh? What is this?" Mitsuhiko suddenly shouted.

"Did you find anything?" Conan asked.

"Look, these are very expensive air-cushion shoes!" Mitsuhiko pointed at the running shoes in Genta's hand.

Conan's mouth twitched.

"Sure enough, we shouldn't have any expectations from these brats..." Conan muttered in his heart.

"Then it can be confirmed now that Junya's brother should be a person who has special research on famous brand products!" Mitsuhiko analyzed in a serious manner.

"He shouldn't be such a person." Xiao Ai's cold voice sounded.

"Eh? Why did Haihara-san say that?" Mitsuhiko asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. Apart from this pair of shoes, there are no other brand-name products in the whole room. Instead, there are more books and painting materials. Obviously, the brand-name shoes are not collected by Junya's brother out of hobbies."

"If I guessed correctly, this pair of shoes should have been given to him by someone, right?" Xiao Ai said and looked at Junye.

"Well... these shoes were indeed given to my brother by my uncle when he came back from abroad. I also have a pair." Jun Ye confirmed Xiao Ai's guess.

"Wow! Haibara-san is so awesome! Just as awesome as Conan!" Ayumi looked at Xiao Ai with admiration.

"Tch! This level of reasoning is just a foundation for me!" Conan felt a little unhappy that Ayumi compared Xiao Ai to him, and cursed in his heart.

"Well, that at least confirms that Toshiya's brother is not this kind of person." Mitsuhiko felt a little embarrassed about his reasoning error and quickly made up for it awkwardly.

"Eh? Junya, this should be your brother's wallet, right?" Conan asked as he picked up a wallet.

"Yes." Junye nodded.

Conan opened the zipper and the cash and keys in the wallet came into view.

Akira Hanomiya also noticed the situation on Conan's side. When he saw the cash in his wallet, he immediately knew what was going on.

"Junya, it seems like your brother didn't run away from home. If he had run away from home, he would have brought his wallet with him." Conan analyzed, obviously thinking of the key point like Akira Hanomiya.

"Since he didn't run away from home, then your brother must have had an accident." Mitsuhiko thought.

So, several people began to search in the room again.

At a certain moment, Ayumi's laughter suddenly came from under the bed.

"Ayumi? What's wrong?" Conan looked over in confusion.

"Look, these paintings are so strange!" Ayumi crawled out from under the bed dragging several paintings.

The painting style placed at the top is quite strange, and the first impression seems to be disorderly graffiti.

"Hahahaha! What is this painting? It's so ugly!" Yuantai laughed immediately.

"Right, right? This painting is really weird!" Ayumi laughed.

"No, this painting has a lot of history!" Yu Gongming looked at the painting in front of him with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"The Crying Woman by the famous abstract painting master Picasso." Xiao Ai said calmly.

"Eh? It's really true!" Mitsuhiko also recognized this work.

"It's not just Picasso." Conan pointed to several other paintings and said: "There are paintings by Van Gogh, Monet, and Gauguin, but they are all imitations."

"Are these all your brother's works?" Yu Gongming looked at Junye.

"Yes, my brother is famous for imitating the works of famous artists in the high school art club." Junye said.

"Could it be that someone kidnapped your brother and asked him to imitate the paintings of famous artists?" Yuantai guessed.

"It's very possible! Maybe those people just want to trade your brother's paintings with the real ones!"

"Impossible!" Yu Gongming, Conan, and Xiao Ai unanimously rejected this guess.

"Eh? Why?" Mitsuhiko felt a little confused on his face.

"You don't think that a high school student's paintings can deceive experts with rich appraisal experience, do you?" Hanomiya Akira said with a smile.

"Junya's brother's paintings may be considered good among high school students, but they are still far from fakes." Xiao Ai commented lightly.

"Although the composition is very similar, the differences in tone and brushstrokes from those of famous artists can be seen by anyone who knows a little bit about painting." Conan further analyzed.

"That's it!" Mitsuhiko lowered his head in frustration after listening to the three people's reasonable analysis.

"However, the style of this work is different from other works." Conan pointed to a painting.

"The person in this painting looks so familiar!" Ayumi said doubtfully.

"Natsume Soseki." Xiao Ai said calmly.

"Yes, because my brother liked this painting very much, he took this painting to the exhibition. However, because it was based on a photo, people who watched the exhibition seemed to have some complaints. The only one who praised his painting was good. A strange woman." Junye said.

"Strange woman, what kind of woman?" Conan frowned slightly.

"She was wearing a hat with a deep brim, and she was all dressed in black." Junye recalled.

"All in black?" Conan's face changed slightly!
