As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster. Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her. The sound rouses the police next door and they apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Haibara breaks down in tears.

Conan demands an explanation why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to become a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him. Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to die because of her insubordination. She took an APTX she had pocketed hoping to commit suicide, shrank instead, and then escaped. The Organization, fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her.</spoiler>

The New Student

Situation

A new girl named Ai Haibara transfers into Conan's class. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the Detective Boys are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and Genta notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near his house, but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. Ayumi tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of Black Organization. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

Missing Person

EP129 Case 1.jpg

Location: Beika City, Tokyo
Victim: Toshiya's brother
Suspects: Lady in Black
Toshiya's older brother disappeared one week ago after telling his family he was going to a friend's house.

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ten dollar bill which the he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company 2 years ago and they recently hired a new worker. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.
