Chapter 462 The Death of Horikita Manabu
Hakuto had no idea what Mrs. Yukiko was thinking now.
Mrs. Yukiko thought a bit too highly of herself. Although most men couldn't resist Mrs. Yukiko, that depended on who it was.
Hakuto didn't lack women, and he had never intended to make a move on Mrs. Yukiko from start to finish. But her attitude, acting as if Hakuto was after her, made him extremely uncomfortable. So Hakuto directly ignored Mrs. Yukiko.
After leaving Eri's house, Hakuto went to Kogoro's place again. He wanted to search again for anything he might have missed.
Hakuto was also very curious about what exactly the bullets used by Yusaku and Kogoro were, and why they made him feel a hint of threat.
Ordinary bullets were already completely useless to Hakuto. Even if bullets hit his body, they couldn't cause him any harm.
Those bullets from before had already been sent for testing. Who knew how long it would take to get results? But Hakuto had a feeling it wouldn't be that easy.
After all, anything that could make him feel dangerous was certainly not simple. And the fact that it could evade Diting's search clearly indicated that Kogoro was not ordinary.
Suddenly, Hakuto's phone rang. He answered it.
"Honami, what's up?"
The call was from Ichinose Honami. Hakuto was curious why she was calling him.
"Well, Hakuto, do you have time? There's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Honami's voice came through the phone, filled with embarrassment. Hakuto chuckled: "Okay, name a place. I'll come over now."
Honami gave a location. Hakuto hung up, opened the Anywhere Door, and appeared in front of Honami.
However, Hakuto was a bit surprised to see Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo next to Honami.
After a moment's thought, Hakuto guessed that the ones who needed his help this time were probably not Honami, but Horikita and Kushida.
"Go ahead, tell me what's going on."
Honami looked at Horikita and Kushida. Both of them looked too embarrassed to speak.
So Honami took the initiative: "The situation is like this. Suzune and Kikyo have run into some problems. Suzune's brother, Horikita Manabu, has gone missing. As for Kikyo, it seems she's being targeted by someone."
'Horikita Manabu is missing?'
'Kushida Kikyo is being targeted by someone?'
Hakuto looked at Horikita and Kushida. Both of them looked unwell, with a hint of exhaustion.
"Tell me the details."
Horikita began first.
"The incident happened a week ago. A week ago, my brother suddenly received a phone call and went out. Shortly after he left, I received a text message from him telling me to immediately go to a safe house he had prepared and hide there, and to wait for him for three days. But after three days, he still hadn't shown up. No matter how much I searched or reported to the police, I couldn't find my brother."
Hakuto raised an eyebrow, 'A safe house?'
'It seemed Horikita Manabu wasn't a simple character either.'
"What about you?"
Hakuto turned to Kushida. Kushida answered: "For about a week now, I've felt like someone has been secretly following me. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but later I realized it wasn't."
"I reported it to the police, but it was useless. The police couldn't find the person following me!"
After listening to Kushida's story, Hakuto stroked his chin thoughtfully: "They both happened a week ago? Isn't that a bit too coincidental? Could it be that the person following Kushida Kikyo is actually Horikita Manabu?"
"Impossible!"
Horikita stood up immediately, glaring at Hakuto angrily. Hakuto's words undoubtedly implied that Manabu was a stalking pervert. How could Horikita, a bro-con, allow Hakuto to slander her brother like this?
"Not necessarily impossible!"
Hakuto chuckled lightly and looked at Horikita. Her fox-like eyes were filled with anger at Hakuto.
And indeed, Horikita's fox-like eyes were very beautiful.
"If you don't believe me, I'll make you believe. Come here for a moment!"
Horikita walked to Hakuto's side skeptically. Hakuto placed his index and middle fingers on the center of her fox-like eyes' brow!
"What are you doing!"
Startled by Hakuto's sudden action, Horikita stepped back and looked at him warily. But the next moment, she felt as if struck by lightning.
"See it now?"
Hakuto said to Horikita with a smile. In Horikita's eyes, a ghostly image of Manabu appeared before her. This ghostly Manabu had a bullet hole right in the center of his brow.
Clearly, Manabu was already dead. What remained could only be called a ghost.
Horikita felt as if struck by lightning. But aside from Horikita and Hakuto, Kushida and Honami clearly couldn't see it.
Horikita's entire body went cold. Looking at Manabu with that bloody hole in his brow, her eyes instantly reddened.
Hakuto then flicked his finger against Horikita's forehead.
Instantly, all the images before Horikita's eyes disappeared.
"What are you doing!"
Horikita looked at Hakuto with reddened eyes!
Hakuto shook his head at her: "Horikita Manabu is already dead. Looking any longer won't do you any good. Moreover, Horikita Manabu carries a certain power. Looking too much will affect your luck."
"Um, what are you talking about!"
Kushida had a bad feeling.
Hakuto smiled at Kushida: "Earlier, when you felt like someone was following you, that was because Horikita Manabu's soul had been following you after he died. Do you occasionally feel very cold?"
Kushida's hair stood on end instantly. She looked at Hakuto in disbelief: "You're lying to me, right?"
"Guess. Am I lying to you?"
'What kind of guessing game is that?' Kushida was about to cry!
