[[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] shares news of a transfer student joining their class to [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]]. While the children enthusiastically speculate on the personality and appearance of this mysterious new individual, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] voices his general indifference. Ayumi recalls catching a glimpse of the student's surname at the school infirmary, a two kanji name reading, "Haibara (灰原)." Their teacher, [[Sumiko Kobayashi|Sumiko]], then arrives at the entrance and welcomes [[Ai Haibara]] to the classroom. The girl, met with a shower of praise and applause, remains stoic. She calmly ignores Genta's offer to be her desk-mate and chooses an open seat next to Conan, much to the boy's confusion and surprise. <br>

After school, the [[Detective Boys]] approach an aloof Haibara and inquire about her life. She says she lives on the twenty-second building of [[Beika]]'s second ward, making her neighbors with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]. Conan, however, does not recall seeing a "Haibara" name-plaque near his house. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko try to recruit Haibara into the Detective Boys, as Genta shows her his shoebox which is supposedly stuffed to the brim with various requests and letters. However, the box appears empty, much to the children's chagrin. As Genta wears his right shoe, he notices a hidden request note hidden inside and eagerly reads the contents.<br>

The Detective Boys are summoned to classroom A where they meet a boy named Toshiya, who claims his older brother has gone missing.

Once at the abode, the children search the brother's room, quickly determining that he has not run away from home as he has left his wallet.

They continue to discover several skilled recreations of various famous artworks. Conan deduces that Toshiya's brother was not kidnapped for ransom money, as Toshiya himself would be a more suitable target. Additionally, he was likely not taken for his ability to produce artistic forgeries, as his skills in coloring and finer details are still amateur.

Seen as the man has no reason to pay for the cigarettes at the cashier since there is a vending machine outside, Conan climbs onto the store desk and inspects the used bill. He holds the central circle to the light and confirms the bill lacks a transparent portrait of Natsume Sōseki, proving it is counterfeit. He casually notifies the clerk about his discovery before rushing out the door.
