Chapter 381 Koizumi Akako? A Big Fish Appears
At the police headquarters, Hakuto looked at Kaito Kid and said to him, "Now can you tell me? What is this black pearl really for?"
In the original plot, the black pearl might have been just an ordinary piece of jewelry. But in this world, this black pearl clearly contained a mysterious power. Hakuto could naturally sense it.
But Hakuto hadn't figured out what this black pearl was really used for. So, since he didn't know, why not ask someone who did?
Thus, Hakuto set his sights on Kaito. Unfortunately, Kaito didn't cooperate at all. When Hakuto asked him earlier, not only was he unwilling to tell, but he also chose to run away.
So now, Hakuto no longer needed to be polite with him. He would do whatever was necessary. Hakuto wanted to know whether Kaito could still escape after being thrown in prison.
"I don't know what this black pearl is really for. This item isn't something I wanted myself. Someone hired me to steal it. If you're willing to let me go, I can tell you who that person is."
Kaito tried to negotiate terms with Hakuto. However, what Kaito didn't know was that Hakuto didn't like negotiating with people.
To be precise, there had never been anyone who could threaten Hakuto. So, anyone who threatened Hakuto would end up dead. So, after hearing Kaito trying to negotiate terms, Hakuto smiled.
"Do you believe that with just one word from me, I wonder what might happen to your old butler?"
Kaito's expression changed. But Hakuto wasn't finished. He continued, "And we also need to thoroughly investigate whether Nakamori Ginzo colluded with you and used his status as a police officer to cover for you."
Kaito's expression changed instantly. Clearly, Kaito hadn't expected Hakuto to be so shameless as to use the people around him against him.
"Your girlfriend's name is Nakamori Aoko, right? You wouldn't want her to get hurt either, would you? Speaking of which, your girlfriend is quite pretty."
Kaito became agitated. "If you dare lay a finger on Aoko, I'll fight you to the death."
"That depends on whether you cooperate. If you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee what might happen. Also, I need you to understand one thing: don't try to negotiate terms with me again. I don't like negotiating terms with others."
Hearing Hakuto's words, Kaito slumped down dejectedly.
He had implicated others because of himself. If he had known this would happen, why did he choose to run away back then? He had even mocked Hakuto after escaping.
His heart was full of regret. But unfortunately, there was no use crying over spilled milk now.
"So, have you made up your mind? I don't have much patience. If you don't want to talk, I won't force you."
His expression changing constantly, Kaito finally revealed the person who had asked him to steal the black pearl.
"It was Koizumi Akako. She asked me to steal the black pearl. I don't know anything else."
Hakuto knew who Koizumi Akako was. Akako is a witch with a mysterious aura, the legitimate heir of red magic, and a transfer student to Class 2B at Ekoda High School. She is a classmate of Kaito, Aoko, Hakuba Saguru, and others.
'Interesting. It seemed I would have to find this Koizumi Akako myself to get an answer.'
Hakuto immediately lost interest in Kaito. Seeing that Hakuto was about to leave, Kaito shouted to him, "Don't lay a finger on Aoko and the others. They don't know anything. I did everything alone."
Hakuto ignored Kaito and left the interrogation room directly.
Leaving the interrogation room, Hakuto saw Ginzo, who was also being questioned. Then, he chose to leave directly.
Hakuto still had to find Akako. He had no time to waste on these people.
Hakuto found Akako's address at the police headquarters. But when he went to find Akako, he discovered that she had already left. She had run away.
'Something was wrong. This Koizumi Akako was problematic, and not just a little.' Hakuto's intuition told him that this Koizumi Akako might be a big fish. And she couldn't get away.
Hakuto smiled. Then, the next moment, Hakuto began searching for Akako.
But unexpectedly, he didn't find Akako. Even though he had now searched all of Japan, he still couldn't find any trace of Akako.
Now, Hakuto was somewhat surprised, not expecting Akako could hide this well.
It had to be noted that Hakuto now controlled both the underworld and official forces in all of Japan. Finding a person wasn't really a difficult task.
Yet, even so, Hakuto still couldn't find any news about Akako. It was as if this person didn't exist in this world.
Hakuto wasn't worried. While Akako could hide for now, could she hide forever?
Sooner or later, Akako would come out. Then, he would just catch her.
Returning to the police headquarters to ask Kaito a few more questions, Hakuto happened to see Eri and Ran.
Eri, the Queen of the Court, was not called that for nothing.
As soon as Hakuto entered the police headquarters, he heard Eri listing charge after charge against Kaito. The corner of Hakuto's mouth twitched.
'If Kisaki Eri were to prosecute me, would I have to rot in prison?'
Seeing Hakuto return, Eri asked him, "This guy is Kaito Kid. I can prosecute him, right?"
"Of course. Everyone must be responsible for what they do."
For some reason, hearing this sentence, Eri thought of what had happened between her and Hakuto before, and her face couldn't help but flush slightly.
Then, she gave Hakuto a fierce glare and said, "Don't give me that nonsense. I just want to know, what exactly do you plan to do with this Kaito Kid?"
"Handle him according to the law. What else can I do? This guy has nothing to do with me. Handle him however he deserves."
Hakuto's answer satisfied Eri. But then, Eri asked Hakuto, "I have something to discuss with you later. Are you free?"
