The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto sidestepped to avoid Kogoro's gunfire, then immediately looked up at him. But unexpectedly, Kogoro directly broke the window and jumped out.

By the time Hakuto reached the window, Kogoro had already disappeared.

Hakuto didn't know what means Kogoro had used to escape, but the monk could run but not the temple. He didn't believe the man could escape from Japan.

As long as he was still in Japan, Hakuto was confident he could uncover Kogoro.

Then Hakuto looked at Ran. At this moment, Ran was completely stunned.

Her father, after having his identity exposed by Hakuto, directly opened fire, and then he actually ran away.

Hakuto glanced at Ran and said, "Come on. I'll take you to Eri. As for what you want to know, you can ask her."

After a slight hesitation, Ran nodded and agreed. "Then I'll trouble you."

Hakuto directly opened the Anywhere Door. On the other side of the door was where Eri was. After sending Ran through, Hakuto immediately called people over to search the place.

The search results showed that Kogoro was indeed not simple. Kogoro's ancestors had once been Japanese nobles.

It was later, because of the Emperor Shengzong, that the family fell on hard times. He had joined the Restoration Society to revive the family.

Hakuto hadn't expected Kogoro to have such a background. Kogoro's ancestors could be traced back to Mori Motonari from the Warring States period.

Then Hakuto also began searching the Mori Detective Agency. Kogoro should have left behind some clues.

Under the inspection of professionals, Hakuto quickly discovered a large space beneath the Mori Detective Agency.

This space contained a training ground and a storage room. It not only had a shooting range but also quite a few weapons, enough to arm a team of a hundred people.

Here, Hakuto also found another exit. Kogoro had probably escaped from here.

Kogoro had escaped, but where was he now?

After having all these weapons moved away, Hakuto began a detailed search. But he didn't find much here, just a family tree. So Hakuto thought to investigate Kogoro's interpersonal relationships.

Hakuto planned to use these to find Kogoro.

Kogoro's daily relationships and whether he had blood relatives in the family tree were all subjects of investigation.

But these matters didn't require Hakuto's personal involvement. With a single command from him, soon, Kogoro's ancestors up to eighteen generations back would be investigated clearly.

Hakuto took out the Anywhere Door and went to Eri's place, also to see Ran. As someone who had been living with Kogoro, Ran should know something.

Even if she hadn't paid attention normally, Kogoro might have revealed some clues in his daily life.

So when Hakuto found Ran and asked her, she frowned and shook her head. "I'm very sorry. I don't know."

"Miss Ran, the only way to save your father now is if you help. If you hide things and ultimately cause Mori Kogoro's death, then I can only say I'm very sorry."

A look of struggle immediately appeared on Ran's face. Finally, she looked at Hakuto and asked, "Can you guarantee that you won't kill my father?"

"I never intended to kill your father in the first place. If I had wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have had time to run."

Indeed, Hakuto hadn't planned to kill Kogoro. He had intended to turn him into a Faceless One. He didn't expect Kogoro to be more decisive than he had imagined.

After having his identity exposed by Hakuto, he directly executed a series of actions: shooting and running away, not even caring about Ran, without any worry that she might die.

"I really don't know. I always thought my father was a good-for-nothing. Who would have thought..."

Ran said with a bitter smile. She had always thought Kogoro was an ordinary, middle-aged, good-for-nothing uncle.

But Hakuto had told her that Kogoro was not only not an ordinary middle-aged uncle but also a villain aiming to overthrow the government.

"Then think carefully. I'm not sure when Mori Kogoro might be discovered and killed. So it's best to remember quickly and tell me. That would be good for both you and me."

Ran smiled bitterly. She really didn't know anything. She felt that she had always been kept in the dark. Now that Hakuto was asking her these questions, how was she supposed to answer?

Ran carefully recalled everything between her and Kogoro. But ultimately, she had never paid attention, so she had no idea what kind of things Kogoro might have said.

On the side, Eri said to Hakuto, "Stop making things difficult for Ran. She doesn't know anything."

"I'm not making things difficult. If we can find Mori Kogoro, that would be best. If not, it doesn't matter. But then, Mori Kogoro will probably be dead."

Ran racked her brains. On the side, Eri sighed and said, "Perhaps Kudo Yusaku knows something."

"Kudo Yusaku?"

Hakuto's eyes narrowed slightly. Eri answered him, "I don't know the details either. But perhaps Kogoro and Kudo Yusaku have some kind of cooperation."

"Alright. I'll go find Kudo Yusaku. You handle things here yourselves. With your strength, it's no problem for you to protect yourself and Ran."

After speaking, Hakuto left directly.

Ran looked at Eri with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Don't worry. As long as Kogoro is willing to surrender, Hakuto won't kill him."

Hearing this, Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Eri, however, also had complicated feelings. Although she was divorced, she hadn't seen through the Kogoro of the past.

Mori Kogoro, truly capable of enduring.
