You need to add ->get(), ->first(), etc. at the end.

my question is "Eloquent Model Class has not where method. but execute correctly without error. HOW?"

When you call the where method on an Eloquent/Model instance the Model class delegates it to the underlying \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder instance ( Please see the __callStatic and __call methods inside Model class ). The where method inside the \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder class is merely a wrapper ( see the implementation of the where method ) that actually further delegates the call to the actual where method which is defined inside the Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder class.
