On the west side of the city, there is a dilapidated warehouse, abandoned, under the oblique imprint of the setting sun, it has a dim and bleak meaning.

Today is the fourth day that Keigo Atobe has been under house arrest here. At the beginning, when I opened my eyes, I found that everything here was extremely strange.

The inside is very empty and old, and the light orange sunlight comes in through the gap of a window above the warehouse, making it feel very lazy.

The boy with silver-gray hair had an unusually clean face. Except for a piece of broken material on the side of his jacket, everything was fine.Because of the lack of clothing materials, the white skin of the young man's thin waist is exposed, which is vaguely unrecognizable, but it is this feeling of trying to cover up that makes people feel dry mouth.

With a handsome face and clear outline, people can't take their eyes off.His skin is very fair, but he is not feminine at all, and he looks firm and charming.

His blue eyes were silent and lonely, and he glanced around lightly. It was dark and damp, and he felt very bad. There were some spider webs in the corner above, which made it even more dilapidated.

"Huh? It's really embarrassing."

He twitched the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating way. That guy tied himself here but didn't do anything. No one came for such a long time. It was like a unilateral house arrest, isolated from the world and not revealing any outside information.

Atobe Keigo's lips were a little pale. He knew that the kidnapper was still hesitating. He obviously didn't want to hurt him, but he still couldn't hold back the hatred for himself in his heart. Oh no, it might be too much up.

But one thing he can be sure of is that he has a lot of grievances with the Atobe family.

I don't know... Before he passed out, he cut the corner of his clothes and the guy's hand with a thorn from a rose, did he leave a reminder for those who are looking for him...

"is it here?"

"That's right, indeed, a few days ago someone gave us a sum of money and told us to stay here and watch the boy inside."

"..."

Atobe Keigo opened his eyes weakly, the sound outside was faint, but it was enough to make him happy, he hadn't heard anyone talking for several days.The guys who guarded him worked day and night in shifts, and apart from providing him with food, they didn't say a single extra word.

Listening to the gradually clear voice through the door, watching the door being slowly opened, although the faint light is not dazzling, it makes Keigo Atobe, who has not looked directly at the sun for a long time, unable to open his eyes.

At the door were his parents, some police officers, and a detective whom he vaguely remembered. Next to him, who looked somewhat similar to him, should be his daughter. Her black hair was loose, and her beautiful face looked very clean.

But his gaze was attracted by a girl with black hair and green eyes standing against the light. Her bright face was unbelievably warm under the setting sun, and her green eyes were not as joyful and excited as the people around her. The deep sea, sparkling with a little fine lines.

Just because of her too indifferent expression, Keigo Atobe subconsciously stayed on her body for a while longer. When he was about to look away, he noticed the boy with black hair and blue eyes next to her. Elementary school, but his eyes have some incomprehensible condensation.

That young face had a serious expression, and the blue eyes kept looking at him, as if warning him not to touch what belonged to him.

Atobe Keigo was slightly stunned, and frowned, he slowly raised his hand and tapped the tear mole in the corner of his eye, under the dim light of the setting sun, his eyes were deeply hidden, making it difficult to see clearly.

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

"There is no need to ask Kimura driver anymore, I already know who is the one who kidnapped Master Atobe."

Mori Kogoro sat on the sofa with his head down, his face could not be seen clearly, but his voice was still heard very clearly.

In this spacious living room, Masao Atobe and the others could hear them clearly.

"Do you know who it is? Maori detective?"

Sachiko Atobe asked eagerly, her exhaustion could not be concealed by her delicate makeup.

"Please tell me about him, I really want to confirm Jingwu's safety."

"Don't worry about Mrs. Atobe, please listen to me. The person who kidnapped Mr. Atobe is—Butler Yamada!"

"What? Mr. Maori, why do you think so, madam, they all know that I really love the young master. I watched him grow up, how could I do this?"

Yamada Shinichiro was shocked, his eyes were full of eagerness, and his gray hair made people look unbearable.

"That's right, Detective Mori, it's absolutely impossible for Butler Yamada to do such a thing."

Atobe Masaichi also disagreed with his reasoning, frowned, and pursed the corners of his mouth, looking a little unhappy about such hasty reasoning.

Mao Lilan was also very puzzled, because no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for him to be Butler Yamada, and he had no reason to do so.

"You said I did it, do you have any evidence?"

Shinichiro Yamada asked this, without much emotional reaction on his face, but his slightly trembling beard revealed some of his restrained emotions.

"Yes, driver Kimura said that Master Atobe frowned when he saw something before getting out of the car, so what could make him get out of the car suddenly?"

"This matter can start with the things he cares about and likes. The place where the incomplete piece of fabric that Mu Chuanxia picked up fell was the place where the car was parked at that time, so it can be assumed that this is the fabric on Master Atobe's clothes."

"There is a thorn from a rose leaf on it, which means that the last thing he touched before being taken away was a rose. Xia found a flower shop at the place where he picked up the clothes. She found a pile of broken clothes. The unbearable rose petals were on the ground, so I curiously asked why."

"Do you know what she asked?"

Mori Kogoro's voice lowered a little at this time, sounding low and hoarse, with a sense of oppression.

The people around turned their attention to Shinichiro Yamada, and found that his face hadn't changed in any particular way, but still had just the right amount of alienation and doubt.

"I don't know, what does this matter have to do with me being a kidnapper?"

"Ah, it really has nothing to do with it directly. It's just a way for you to lure Jingwu out of the car. You know very well that he loves roses. Just imagine, if a person who loves flowers sees a rose that has been torn for no reason, Will you get out of the car to stop it? Obviously, the answer is yes."

"Father, do you mean that Butler Yamada let Atobe-kun get out of the car unsuspectingly, and then was taken away?"

Mao Lilan asked, but she was still puzzled. If so, how could she be sure it was him?Why did he do this?

"Yes, indeed."

"It's ridiculous, Maori detective, I have no grievances with you, why do you slander me so much? You said that I lured the young master out of the car and then carried out the kidnapping, so what evidence do you have, please show it, if you don't have it, please don't talk nonsense Eight ways."

Because of anger, his beard trembled, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Is there evidence? Of course there is. Can you hold out your hand?"

"What do you mean?"

"Please take off your gloves. I want to take a look at your hands. This request is not too much."

Shinichiro Yamada was a little puzzled, but he still did as he did. He took off the gloves, revealing some old hands with some wrinkles on them, which looked a little vicissitudes.

"Can you explain to everyone the scratches on your hands? When I left that day, I accidentally saw the scratches on your wrist that was not covered by gloves, and I gradually understood what you did. method."

Because of his words, everyone's eyes focused on Shinichiro Yamada's hand. Sure enough, there were a few shallow traces beside the back of the hand, which were very small but still left traces.

"This, this one was accidentally scratched by a broken glass..."

"Oh? Really? As a housekeeper here, you shouldn't need to do things like serving tea and water. This is the job of the maids, so you have no chance of being scratched."

"Even if there is, it can't be so shallow, and you are still wearing gloves. That only means that you took off your gloves at a certain moment, and you may have been scratched by a root thorn of some kind of plant."

"You know very well that Master Atobe scratched this with a rose thorn when he was struggling, right? Mr. Atobe is a very smart person, and the fabric we picked up may also be a clue he left for us. "

Mori Kogoro's voice was extremely low, and the people in the living room listened to his reasoning quietly and nervously.

"Well, there are times when I'm not careful, and there are times when I don't wear gloves. It's too hasty to say that I'm a kidnapper, and why would I do that?"

Mu Chuanxia glanced at the back of Mori Kogoro's sofa lightly, and felt that Dr. Ali's invention was quite good sometimes, and the voice was so similar.

"You have a motive for kidnapping. And among the three suspects, your motive is the most reasonable. All your motives are in the decryption of that Sudoku..."

"Huh? Could it be that Grandpa Yamada loves Brother Atobe?"

At this time, Conan realized that he had been hiding behind for too long, which would arouse suspicion. He didn't know when he got out from behind the sofa, and answered a sentence innocently.

Mu Chuanxia didn't look at the expressions of the people around her. Although she was very serious at this moment, she almost couldn't control herself.

There was a smile in her eyes that couldn't be concealed, and she raised her hand and clenched her fist against her lips and coughed lightly a few times.

"Actually, you know the answer to that Sudoku. It was left by your daughter to confess to Mr. Atobe. Uncle Maori asked Conan to entrust me to go to the church that your daughter liked to visit before, her friend. She still prays there after so many years, so I inquired about her properly."

"I found out that she has always liked Mr. Atobe, but the love was too deep. She was severely rejected by Mr. Atobe, and was told of isolation and ridicule by outsiders. Because she couldn't bear the pain, she chose to commit suicide. I said It may be an understatement, but the cold violence and methods of the upper class are hard for most ordinary people to imagine."

"You sent this Sudoku to Mr. Atobe, probably to hint him and arouse his guilt, or maybe you just want to convey your daughter's heart."

Mu Chuanxia gradually noticed Yamada Shinichiro's pale face and slightly trembling body, just such a glance was enough to make people feel sad.

"The reason why Driver Kimura didn't have the time to defend himself, and his abnormal behavior was just to cover up for you. He should have seen your back at the time and guessed it, but he didn't express his inner doubts, because he I respect you very much..."

Mori Kogoro's voice sounded again, making the whole living room look silent and depressing.

"Yes! I did it! I slowly started to resent Masaichi Atobe more and more over the years. It was he who... ruined my daughter."

"If at the beginning, even if you rejected her, but don't indulge those people's indifference and harm to her, she might not do such a thing. Because you are too good, those women in the upper class simply don't allow anyone to touch you , my daughter, because she crossed the red line and..."

Yamada Shinichiro's eyes were slowly filled with mist, he couldn't see everything clearly, his whole body was trembling, and he looked very excited.

"Yamada... I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your daughter. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to these things... If I remember correctly, I left Japan after she confessed to me, so, later I don't know about that either."

"However, it is absolutely unforgivable for you to transfer your resentment towards me to my son!"

Atobe Masaichi was a person who never avoided his mistakes, his eyes were full of seriousness, his handsome face was indifferent, obviously angry.

"However, fortunately, it didn't make a big mistake. Butler Yamada didn't hurt Master Atobe, because he really loved him very much, even with his daughter's share. So, even though he was determined to transfer his resentment to him Let you taste the pain of loss, but in the end he chose to lock him up and did nothing."

The gray-haired old man had already slumped on the ground after listening to the last sentence, his eyes were not bright and bright, like a puppet, lifeless.
