Laravel "Find" method "Where id = ?" gives wrong result

Question

I'm using Laravel 7. I have table named "Stores" and column "id" is the primary key and auto increment.

When I run Store::find(9)->first() it gives wrong result and when I run Store::where('id', 9)->first() is giving correct result.

I enable the query log and got following.

For Store::find(9)->first()

array:2 [
  0 => array:3 [
    "query" => "select * from "stores" where "stores"."id" = ? limit 1"
    "bindings" => array:1 [
      0 => 9
    ]
    "time" => 6.41
  ]
  1 => array:3 [
    "query" => "select * from "stores" limit 1"
    "bindings" => []
    "time" => 0.53
  ]
]

and for Store::where('id', 9)->first()

array:1 [▼
  0 => array:3 [▼
    "query" => "select * from "stores" where "id" = ? limit 1"
    "bindings" => array:1 [▼
      0 => 9
    ]
    "time" => 6.89
  ]
]

You don't need to call first() with find(id)

https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent#retrieving-single-models

//Both results will be the same

Store::find(9);

Store::where('id', 9)->first();
