I doubt Arthur is in any real condition to hunt for a needle in a haystack right now. Talking to Andre or Audrey is premature at this point, and alcohol sounds like a bad idea given Arthur's mental state. That just leaves meeting the two heroes.
Plus, it may be a good idea to give them a heads up that we are performing an investigation that is almost certainly going to end with someone Akumatized. Honestly, I think Hawkmoth could Akumatize Chloe right now, but then we wouldn't be distracted from our Hawkmoth investigation.

Initially i wanted us to ask Max for help with the social media thing, but he really doesn't like Chloe. Even if he agrees to help he might not keep it secret, and rumors would just hurt Chloe even more.

Arthur is in as good condition he usually is. He is after all used to being a detective.
He's used to doing the grunt work.
As for talking: Why would he not? He's a third party, albeit one under employ of their daughter and a world famous detective to boot. It might make them crack, as the two parents are not criminals or super villains
As for the booze… they'll drink responsibly. Arthur isn't stupid.
INB4 Hawkmoth akumitizes you and become a crazy super detective.
Being Chloe is suffering, even more then being Arthur or Sabrina.

Let's step away for a minute. Family issues are always volatile. There is no way it ends without an Akuma.

Well, at least it can't get any worse?
What makes you think that there will be only one Akuma. With a mess like this, I wouldn't be shocked if we ended up with more than one.

A Personal Case: A Few Choice Words
You saw Ladybug and Chat Noir on the roof, and the argument they were having as they landed and stopped to air their frustrations.
"No Chat, how can I trust you if you decide to go behind my back? We're supposed to be a team, and bringing someone else into this will only put them in danger." She stated. While she was correct from a certain point of view, you knew from…
A painful experience that sometimes, secrets kept for security reasons would always make things worse.
"Well we both had made no progress on finding out who Hawk Moth is, we have no leads, no evidence, and everyone we have talked to doesn't remember anything while being akumatized." Chat stated. "We are reacting to Hawk Moth at every point, and we need to try and put pressure on him. That why I asked Arthur for help."
"Yes, and what will happen if Hawk Moth uses that against us?" Ladybug asked.
"Then you will need to react to it." You stated as you revealed yourself. Chloe was still inside with Sabrina, looking for some answers about her mothers… unfaithfulness. "Thats the risk of asking for help. You may be required to put someone at risk."
"But that-" Ladybug started but you raised a hand.
"A moment please." You asked, and Ladybug stopped. "Chat, I must ask you something: Did you seek to console your partner as to why you both needed me to help you?"
"No." Chat replied immediately.
You then turned to Ladybug. "Ladybug, when you and Chat began to fight Hawkmoth, did you keep secrets from each other?"
"Of course!" Ladybug proclaimed. "It's to protect ourselves and our families from Hawk Moth."
You shook your head. "But you continue to keep very important information from each other?" There was silence between the two of them. You then spoke again. "I learned a long time ago that people will always hide things from those they trust, for many reasons. But they will never reveal those same secrets except for… Well, quite a few reasons. But my favorite always keeps the same thing. Everything else that they tell you in the movies, or shows, or psychology textbooks… they are wrong or part of it."
"What is it?" Chat asked.
"Guilt." You replied. "All the secrets eat at your heart, your mind, and soul. With no outlet, they chew into your being, and then it destroys you."
The way you said those words shook them both. "But-" Ladybug tried to protest.
"My Lady." Chat stopped her. "We should talk. Just try and figure this out."
"Thank you." You said to the reasonable chat. "Well then… I'm going to lay down." You said as you looked at some of Chloe's deck chairs. "I need to think."
The Two Heroes of Paris looked at each other and then jumped into the air, towards another roof.
You felt tired… And you needed to sleep.
It's been a long time since… that has ever happened to you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ghost was back, in your dreams, sitting at the desk, pointing a gun to your head. "Get on with it." You demanded as the Ghost still was shrouded by Shadows.
"And miss all the fun?" The Ghost stated as she put the gun… a revolver down. "You can't escape me. And you know why?"
"Because you're a figment of my imagination." You growled.
"Because you pulled the trigger. Remember?" She said as she spun the cylinder.
"That is a lie." You growled. "I didn't kill you, because the gun was empty!"
"And everyone swept it under the rug… after all… A Hero Detective is far better." the Ghost said. "You still hunt me down… even though I'm not alive."
"Because I know you. You are alive." You said.
"And that frightens you?" The Ghost said with a smile.
"Yes."
"Honesty to me… such a wonderful change of pace." The Ghost then pointed the pistol at you. "Tell Hawk Moth that your greatest fear… is being me."
The gun fired and you opened your eyes.

I'm trying to channel for exasperated and just "Done with this shit" Arthur

That is impossible. No Akumatized victims remember anything after they are freed by Ladybug.
Magically induced Amnisia.
I've dealt with far to many super villains...
That is Arthur Right now.

exactly, wanted to be consistent with his character at the moment after Suzuki... Ladybug and Chat asking Suzuki's help in beating Arthur? would finally allow her to say that she has beaten Arthur at something, which could help further develop her character.

Possibly... cause only a Rouge can beat our dear detective.

-[X] While we can talk can I ask the all this Akumatize thing you are doing and for what and why. Because depending on the why it better just ASK the other for help then use force.

He's actually been in Paris for about a month.
Pretty sure you mean "Rogue".
