Ke Xue: The secret was discovered by Xiaolan!

"Ah."

After Lin Yan took the photo, he looked at Gu Jingzi's photo.

Mao Lilan was beside Lin Yan, leaning on Lin Yan's arm, and also looked at Gu Jingzi's photo.

Conan is too short now and can't even see Tani Akiko's photo.

"Brother Lin Yan, can you let me take a look?"

Conan began to speak to Lin Yan in a child's tone.

"Look."

Lin Yan then gave the photo to Conan.

"Thank you."

Conan took the photo of Gu Jingzi and said obediently to Lin Yan.

"Mr. Butler, does the kidnapper have any other demands? For example, what about ransom?"

Mouri Kogoro asked the Tani family housekeeper curiously.

"Mr. Butler, have you seen the face of the kidnapper?"

Mouri Kogoro asked the housekeeper of the Tani family.

"The kidnapper was wearing a black mask and I couldn't see his face at all."

The Gu family housekeeper shook his head and began to speak.

Mouri Kogoro scratched his hair and thought to himself: "If this butler doesn't know anything about anything, things will be in trouble. These 150 million yen are not so easy to earn."

"I didn't say that."

The Gu family butler shook his head and said to Mouri Kogoro.

"Chairman Gu, will your dog bark when it sees outsiders approaching?"

Lin Yan looked at Chairman Gu and began to ask.

"This dog is quite ferocious. He usually barks when anyone comes except family members."

"In order to prevent it from scaring the guests, I usually tie it up."

Chairman Gu introduced to Lin Yan.

"Chairman Gu, when the kidnappers kidnapped Gu Jingzi, did the dog bark?"

Lin Yan looked at Chairman Gu and began to ask.

Chairman Gu frowned at this time. He was working in the study and did not hear the dog barking.

"I didn't hear the dog barking, did you?"

Chairman Gu started asking the maids and gardeners around him.

"Master, I didn't hear the dog barking at that time."

An older maid stood up and began to speak to Chairman Gu.

"Sir, I didn't listen either."

The remaining maids and gardeners also began to speak.

"Could it be."

Chairman Gu had a guess at this moment.

"Yes, the kidnapper is most likely an acquaintance who committed the crime, otherwise the dog would bark."

Lin Yan nodded and said to Chairman Gu.

"Chairman Gu, who are the people who often come to your home and are resentful of you?"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Chairman Gu and began to ask.

Lin Yan also came to the wall at this time and checked the surroundings carefully.

Conan also began to look for clues around him.

"I can't remember this for a while!"

Chairman Gu frowned and began to speak to Mouri Kogoro.

After Lin Yan checked it again, he came to Chairman Gu's side.

"Chairman Gu, I already know who kidnapped your daughter."

Lin Yan looked at Chairman Gu with a confident smile on his face.

"Lin Yan, who is the person who kidnapped my daughter?"

Chairman Gu anxiously began to ask Lin Yan.

"Chairman Gu, the person who kidnapped your daughter is him, your housekeeper."

Lin Yan pointed at the steward of the Gu family and began to speak to Chairman Gu.

The Gu family's butler's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Lin Yan to discover the flaw so quickly.

However, the Gu family housekeeper is not panicking now. After all, this is just a play between him and Gu Jingzi.

"This is impossible."

"The housekeeper has worked in my house for decades and is loyal to me. He also loves Akiko very much and treats her like a granddaughter."

"I don't believe he would kidnap Akiko."

Chairman Gu shook his head. He did not agree with Lin Yan's reasoning.

"I just checked the place where the butler said the kidnappers climbed over the wall."

"Judging by the moss on the walls, there are no recent signs of climbing."

"Butler, do you want to continue lying?"

Lin Yan walked up to the Gu family's housekeeper and looked at the Gu family's housekeeper with sharp eyes.

Chapter 22, the kidnapping of the chairman’s daughter.

Chairman Gu quickly walked to the Gu family steward.

Chairman Gu grabbed the Gu family steward's tie with an angry face and looked at the Gu family steward in disbelief.

"Butler, is it really you who kidnapped Akiko?"

Chairman Gu was very angry and disappointed.

"I!"

The Gu family housekeeper was still a little hesitant, not sure whether to tell the truth or not.

The Gu family housekeeper is worried that if he tells the truth now, Gu Jingzi will be scolded.

Seeing the appearance of the Gu family steward, Chairman Gu understood that this matter must have been done by the Gu family steward.

"Butler, I have been so good to you over the past few decades, why do you do this?"

"You have let me down too much."

Chairman Gu's hands shook with anger. He did not expect to be betrayed by the person he trusted most.

Seeing Chairman Gu so angry, the housekeeper of the Gu family was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"Master, don't be angry."

"This is actually a misunderstanding!"

The Gu family housekeeper was so nervous that he was sweating profusely and wanted to tell Chairman Gu the truth.

"Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding."

At this moment, Chairman Gu's cell phone rang.

Chairman Gu then let go of Butler Gu's tie and started to answer the phone.

"Hi, I'm Gufeng."

After Chairman Gu answered the phone, he began to speak.

A hoarse voice came from the phone: "Chairman Gu, your daughter is in my hands. If you don't want her to die, prepare [-] million yen in cash for me."

"What did you say?"

Chairman Gu had an incredible expression on his face.

Chairman Gu then grabbed the Gu family steward's tie and said angrily to the Gu family steward: "I didn't expect you to have an accomplice. Tell your accomplice and ask him to let Akiko go!"

"Master, I have no accomplices, and I don't know what's going on!"

"You have to trust me!"

The Gu family's housekeeper was so aggrieved that he was about to cry. He was completely confused now.

Seeing the appearance of the Gu family steward, Chairman Gu felt that what the Gu family steward said was true.

Chairman Gu put down Gu's housekeeper, took his mobile phone, and began to say: "Let me hear my daughter's voice."

A hoarse voice came from the phone: "Okay, no problem."

Soon, Gu Jingzi's urgent voice came over the phone: "Dad, I'm in a warehouse. From the window, I can see a huge chimney. Dad, come and save me!"

A hoarse voice came from the phone: "Kid, who told you to say these things? I'll beat you up!"

Chairman Gu took his cell phone and said hurriedly: "Don't hurt my daughter. I'll give you whatever you want."

A hoarse voice came from the phone: "Chairman Gu, I can spare your daughter and give you an hour to prepare. After an hour, I will tell you where to put the ransom."

After saying this, the phone was hung up directly.

Chairman Gu gritted his teeth, picked up the phone, and dialed the secretary's number: "Hello, I'm Gu Feng. Prepare [-] million yen in cash immediately and send it to my home."

The secretary's voice came over the phone: "Okay, Chairman."

After Chairman Gu hung up the phone.

"Butler, what is going on?"

Chairman Gu began to question the Gu family steward, his eyes filled with anger.

Now that things have happened, the Gu family's housekeeper no longer dares to hide anything.

"Sir, this is what happened."

"Since my lady passed away three years ago."

"You have been busy with work and rarely have time to play with Miss Akiko."

"Miss Akiko has been depressed."

"Some time ago, Miss Akiko asked me to cooperate with her in carrying out the kidnapping plan."

"The purpose is to let you play with her more."

"This afternoon, I sent Miss Akiko to a nearby hotel and pretended that Miss Akiko had been kidnapped."

"You all know what happened afterwards."

"I didn't expect things to get to this point."

"Master, I am loyal to you and will never kidnap Miss Akiko. You must believe me."

The steward of the Gu family knelt in front of Chairman Gu, crying and telling everything.

"I believe you."

"But I am so disappointed that you did such a thing."

"When I find Akiko, I'll settle the score with you."

Seeing the appearance of the Gu family steward, Chairman Gu believed what the Gu family steward said.

"Yes, sir."

The Gu family housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
