Atobe Shoichi explained that Yamada Shinichiro had been with him since he was a teenager, and he had always been loyal to the Atobe family, so he was definitely not responsible for this case.

Conan's blue eyes rolled, and he felt that the biggest breakthrough in this case might be the unraveled Sudoku confession.

"Then has the kidnapper contacted you now?"

Mori Kogoro asked, his dark skin seemed to have become a little more resolute.

"No, he just sent this box."

Shinichiro Yamada replied, his brows and eyes were full of anxiety.

"What should we do now? The young master will be fine, right?"

"Now, why don't we look at the only clue?"

Mao Lilan felt that the piece of paper might be hinting something to the Atobe family. No matter how you look at it, a digital confession is not as simple as expressing feelings.

Mu Chuanxia glanced at Mao Lilan unexpectedly, and there was a little smile in her green eyes, but she was actually quite smart.

"That's right, we must first figure out why the answer to this Sudoku solution is this, and who are we confessing to?"

Mori Kogoro felt that he had grasped the source of the clues of the case again, and his eyes brightened a lot.

"...I thought, I might know."

Sachiko Atobe stepped forward, with a little tired look in her eyes, and a trace of unknown emotion flashed in her eyes, which could not be seen clearly.

"She may be confessing to Jingwu, but... she feels that she shouldn't fall in love with the enemy's son, so..."

"Wait, Sachiko, what are you talking about?!"

Everyone present looked at Sachiko Atobe in bewilderment, her face was pale and her lips were trembling.

"Her? Do you know that the kidnapper is a woman? Mrs. Atobe, can you clarify?"

"It's such a Maori detective. I suspect it was done by my personal maid. She used to be the eldest lady of a group. His parents were sent to prison by our chaebol for being involved in leaking secrets. I thought she was pitiful, so I concealed it." I am just taking her in as my maid..."

"This girl has always liked Jing Wu. When I saw the answer to this Sudoku, I could only think of her..."

Atobe Sachiko's eyes were a little wet, and she felt that it was an extremely wrong decision to hide Masao's use of her as a maid because of ridiculous sympathy.Atobe Masaichi said at the time that she couldn't keep the disaster by her side because of sympathy. She was too naive to think that he was lucky if he hadn't met that girl...

"Then is that girl still at Atobe's house?"

Atobe Masaichi couldn't bear to blame his wife, so he asked eagerly where the girl was.

Conan felt that everything was moving in a weird direction. There were more and more suspects. Everyone was suspected of a crime, but there was no strong criminal motive.

If he went to kidnap just because of this, then it would be too impulsive.

"Hey, I don't think it's that young lady. Because if she wants revenge, why would she leave this adoring reminder, as if she wanted people to guess that she did it, so strange."

As Conan reminded, there was just the right amount of confusion in his eyes, as well as a little curiosity.

"What you said is also reasonable. In short, let's find that girl and ask her first."

Atobe Masaichi rubbed his temples with some headache, then stretched out his arms to hug his wife, comforting her.

Sachiko Atobe buried her head in his chest, her shoulders were trembling slightly, it seemed that the emotions that she had been trying to suppress for the past few days were silently released.

"Madam, master, Ikeda Ling has already brought it."

Shinichiro Yamada reminded him when he saw the girl who had been summoned appear.

The girl in front of her had a delicate face, her long flaxen hair was tied up neatly, her amber eyes looked at the people around her with some anxiety, and finally her eyes rested on Sachiko Atobe.

"lady……"

But she didn't get a response, and she couldn't help panicking, her eyes were filled with mist.

"I, I, did I do something wrong, ma'am?"

"No, Ms. Ikeda, we just suspected that you were involved in the kidnapping of Master Atobe, so we specially called you here for questioning."

Shinichiro Yamada explained in this way, obviously trying to calm her down, but it had the opposite effect, and the girl's emotions became even more agitated.

"It's not my wife, please believe me, how could I do such a thing, you know that I like the young master, but I know that I am not worthy of him... I will never hurt him, you must believe me ah!"

Ikeda Ling hurriedly explained, and her hands and feet became a little hasty, her amber eyes were full of anxiety, and the transparent tears couldn't be held back after all.

Conan knew that the kidnapper was not this girl, because if it was her, let alone the Sudoku confession, she would still dare to stay here. This is an extremely stupid behavior in itself, so it must not be her.

So, who is it?

"I heard Butler Yamada mention that Atobe-san is in school, right? Then he must be wearing a school uniform, right?"

"That's right, what's the problem with this?"

Atobe asked, and Atobe Sachiko raised her head from his arms and looked at him.

"Sister Xia found a piece of clothing near Didan High School. The color and texture indicate that it is Bingdi's school uniform."

Mu Chuanxia took out the school uniform-like material that she had "unintentionally" picked up to Conan before, and the three-finger-wide silver-white material was wrapped in a handkerchief and handed to Masao Atobe.

"Look carefully at the uneven edge of the corner of the clothes, it doesn't feel like it was cut by a sharp object."

Because if it was cut by something like a knife, it wouldn't be so irregular. These uneven cuts are a bit like being scratched by something.

"A thorn from a rose."

Mu Chuanxia opened her mouth lightly, picked out a small dark green thorn on the cloth and put it on the palm of her hand for them to see.

For plants, she can tell the species at a glance.

"indeed……"

This is strange... why do rose thorns cut clothes?

"Ma'am, I saw that Kimura went to the young master's place during work a few days ago. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was going to ask for some roses."

"At that time, I thought it was strange that he didn't like roses, but he wanted to ask for them."

Ikeda Ling suddenly thought of something, stopped the tears in her eyes and said to them.

No, neither!

Conan looked at the green thorn with deep eyes. He felt that this was not the case. Things were definitely not as simple as imagined!

Kimura Hiroshi came, and under Mori Kogoro's questioning, he let go and admitted that he went to ask for roses that day because he was about to leave and wanted to leave a thought from Keigo Atobe and take them back to raise them.

"You'd better tell the truth, or..."

Hearing Atobe Masaichi's warning, he nodded even more flustered.

However, he also knows that everyone is more and more suspicious of him...

Kimura Hiroshi did not defend himself in the end, he silently cooperated with them and temporarily arranged to stay in a closed room, no different from house arrest.

"It seems that there is no progress today, why don't we come back tomorrow."

When Mori Kogoro said this, he stretched his waist, and then beat his back a few times with his hands, looking extremely tired.

"Okay, I really trouble you today."

Atobe nodded and said to them in a very sincere tone.

As a housekeeper, Shinichiro Yamada would wear white gloves during work. After making a gesture of invitation with his hands, he led them away.

Before leaving, Conan followed behind, and after seeing something, there was a trace of clear dark color in his eyes.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ―――――――――――――

Mu Chuanxia did not investigate with the Atobe family in the next few days, because she still needs to do a more important thing.

"Sister Xia, remember to help me inquire about the relationship between those two people."

What Conan said before leaving, Mu Chuanxia had a headache, what, I feel like a detective.

But she still reluctantly agreed, after all, it's better for this matter to come to an end earlier...

The results obtained that day were beyond her expectations. She didn't know why that guy Conan was able to find clues about the possible connection between these two people...

However, if this is the case, the answer to the mystery will soon be revealed...

Thinking that the matter was coming to an end, she felt a lot more relaxed all over her body, but... She was still a little puzzled.

For example, why did Keigo Atobe get off the car?

Ahhh, sure enough, my brain is really different from that guy's, tsk, it's not enough at all.

Mu Chuanxia scratched her head with some headaches, her black hair was messed up by her, and her originally delicate and beautiful face was wrinkled because of irritability.

She was walking on the road and looked at a flower shop, which seemed very familiar to her, as if it was the flower shop next to the trimmings she picked up.

At that time, the flower shop seemed to be closed. Looking at it now, I found a bunch of bright roses next to a withered flower tree, which was also a rose.

"Excuse me, why is this piece of rose withered so badly?"

Mu Chuanxia asked the owner of the flower shop with some doubts, he was a young and handsome young man, he smiled kindly, with a hint of guilt.

"It's all my fault. A few days ago I heard a friend's recommendation and hired a young man he introduced to me, but he did a good job a few days ago. Then one day when I was busy in the back room, he suddenly tore up Rose, I wanted to stop him after I saw it, he has already left..."

……

The truth has emerged...
