Chapter 194 Painting

“Xiao Yu, you can’t say that about Yuan Tai!” Mitsuhiko, who was sitting next to him, saw Yuan Tai’s frustrated look and couldn’t help but look serious and said righteously: “You can’t laugh at Yuan Tai just because he has no neck…”

As soon as Mitsuhiko finished his words, Genta came back to his senses from his petrified state, his face turned black, and he punched Mitsuhiko on the head.

boom!
"You don't have a neck!" Yuantai cursed angrily, feeling insulted.

Although Sawaha teased Genta, he was just hurt and not angry, because as long as he saw Sawaha's delicate face, which was much cuter than Ayumi and Haibara Ai, he could not get angry.

In short, Genta didn't dare to touch Ze Yu, just as he didn't dare to touch Ayumi and Haibara Ai.

However, Mitsuhiko, who is also an ordinary-looking boy, did not receive such treatment.

Dare you laugh at me?

Give him a punch first!
"Ouch!" Mitsuhiko covered his head in pain and looked at Yuanta with a wronged look.

We are all joking, do you really have to treat them differently?
As for?
"Mitsuhiko, are you okay?" Ayumi looked at Mitsuhiko who was holding his head with some concern, then looked at Genta and said seriously: "Genta, don't bully Mitsuhiko!"

"Ha, no..." Yuantai touched his head and gave an awkward but polite smile.

Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi with great emotion, thinking to himself, "As expected, Ayumi is still the best!"

Ze Yu looked at them with a smile.

This was just an insignificant incident.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and Hiroki found a pile of drawing boards from under the bed.

Ayumi jumped off the bed curiously, looked at the drawing boards, and said with a smile: "Wow, these paintings are so strange!"

Maybe it’s because children don’t know how to appreciate art. Ayumi doesn’t think these paintings are beautiful at all. She just thinks they look weird.

Huihara Ai took a look and calmly concluded: "This is a painting by Picasso. Of course, it's a replica."

"This is indeed an imitation of Picasso's paintings. I know these masterpieces." Conan also nodded.

Hiroki turned around and looked at the client named 'Nakata Shunya' standing beside him and asked, "These paintings were all drawn by your brother, right?"

"Yes." Nakata Shunya nodded with a proud expression: "My brother is famous in his high school art club for his ability to imitate famous artists' paintings."

"Ah?" Yuan Tai's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "In that case, your brother wouldn't be kidnapped to paint, right?"

Ze Yu also jumped off the bed and said casually, "That's not the case. It's just a high school student's imitation painting. It's not even close to the level of being real. Anyway, I can tell at a glance that these paintings are fake."

In fact, Ze Yu did not know how to appreciate paintings, nor did he know how to distinguish the authenticity of paintings. The reason why he could tell at a glance that these paintings were fake was very simple.

Because he had seen the real original painting.

Since he has seen the real original painting, with Ze Yu's eyesight, he should be able to tell the real from the fake.

His eyes are more powerful than the most powerful scanning machine on earth, so there will naturally be no mistakes.

Ze Yu bent down and found a more special painting among these oil paintings, because it was a sketch.

The sketches mixed in with the oil paintings are so conspicuous that they can be found with just a flick of the flip.

Everyone looked at the painting curiously. Ayumi said with a hint of confusion: "The person in this painting seems very familiar."

Hearing this, Hiroki and Conan said in unison: "It's Natsume Soseki." After the words fell, they looked at each other in surprise, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

If someone who didn't know the truth saw this scene, they would think they were rehearsing.

Ze Yu blinked and suddenly said to Nakata Shunya: "Does your brother like to draw Natsume Soseki?"

"Yes, he once took this painting to an art exhibition." Nakata Shunya touched his mouth and said, "However, because this painting was copied and not an original work, the people who attended the art exhibition did not agree with this painting. Only one strange woman praised this painting for being beautiful."

"Strange woman?"

Nakata Shunya's words attracted the attention of Haibara Ai, Conan and Hiroki.

"Yes, that woman is very strange." Nakata Shunya thought for a moment and continued, "She was wearing a black hat and all black. I couldn't see her face clearly. She must be a weirdo."

...!
Hearing his words, Haibara Ai and Conan were both shocked and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Could it be the winery?
However, when they thought of Ze Yu being here, they both quickly calmed down, but there was a thoughtful gleam in their eyes.

Conan asked calmly: "When did you meet that woman?"

"About ten days ago..."

"Besides that woman, is there any other man wearing black beside her?"

"There are two." Nakata Shunya replied.

Conan's expression changed and he wanted to continue asking questions, but Ze Yu patted him on the shoulder.

"Conan, don't be impulsive."

Ze Yu just said this, and Conan's impulsive emotions subsided. He regained his composure and nodded gently.

Ze Yu smiled, then said decisively: "It's confirmed, Junye, your brother was captured by this strange woman, there is no doubt about it."

He thought about it and felt that this statement was a little unconvincing, so he added confidently: "If I guess wrong, I will dress up as a woman the next day!"

"...?"

Everyone present cast doubtful glances at Ze Yu, appearing a little bewildered.

It’s just a wrong guess, why did it suddenly involve women’s clothing?

Both Conan and Haibara Ai were somewhat puzzled.

Does Xiaoyu have any special hobbies? Is she just looking for an excuse?

"Okay, what are you all standing there for?" Ze Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's silence: "Junye, take us around here. I think if your brother hasn't been killed yet, he should be not far from here."

"Eh?" Nakata Shunya was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Xiao Yu is right." Conan also reacted and said seriously: "I just looked for it. Your brother's wallet, tickets and student ID are all in the drawer. His bicycle is also parked at the door. Even if he left, he can't be too far away from here."

"If I'm not mistaken, your brother should be around here and was taken away by the kidnappers."
