Chapter 541 - LEAVING HIM SPEECHLESS (2/2)

In another interrogation room, Kaito was tapping on the cold metal table before him at a slow rate with his index finger. The sound had a hypnotic effect, but it also caused endless irritation to Director Deguchi.

”Could you stop that?” Director Deguchi asked.

”No,” Kaito responded directly.

”You! I have already treated you in the best way possible. Can you give me clues as to where Bonnie and Clyde could be?” The old man asked.

Kaito lifted his brow. ”Why would I know about their location?”

Deguchi's face was red like a tomato. ”Because they are your people. Are you going to sit here and pretend not to know them? Let me tell you. If a bomb explodes in Tokyo today, I am going to make sure that you are held accountable.”

Kaito remained silent and kept tapping on the table. His dark eyes did not betray anything. Deguchi roared in frustration before leaving the room and slamming the door. He could not bear looking at Kaito for another moment.

In the hallway outside the interrogation rooms, several officers were standing guard. It was an extra precaution in case the people they were holding turned against the interrogators.

Director Deguchi looked at three foreign officers outside one of the rooms talking with interest. He saw them when he brought in Kaito, but he did not think much about it. It was unusual to see strangers, but it was not unheard of.

One of the foreign people nodded at his two companions before walking towards him.

”Director Deguchi, I have heard much about you,” Kristian said politely.

Actually, he was not familiar with the random man. But he had just learned that this person was holding Kaito in an interrogation room. Kristian only planned on taking in Kaito after talking to Akira and finding a probable cause.

This Deguchi had spared him the effort of going to look for Kaito.

”You have me at a disadvantage.” Director Deguchi tried to appear dignified and composed.

”I am a small agent from Interpol. I am here helping with the Bonnie and Clyde case.” Kristian replied humbly.

”We can use all the help we can get. I cannot believe that these animals are targeting our beloved city.” Deguchi said with unconcealed fury.

”Indeed. Perhaps, I could have a word with Kaito. We have had some dealings in the past. I believe that I can reach him.” Kristian said.

He could use his authority to gain access, but he did not want to alienate the local officers. Interpol always prioritised working with the personnel at their sites of interest. It would not look good if he used forceful means.

”His head is as hard as a rock. He is nothing good, I tell you.” Deguchi vented. ”You can take a crack at him. If you can find out anything, I will be eternally grateful.”

Director Deguchi was just being polite. He did not think that the young man would be able to change anything by talking to Kaito. However, it was not a bad thing to have someone to blame if they were not able to interrogate Kaito effectively.

”Thank you.” Kristian did not know about these petty thoughts.

”Who do you have in there?” Deguchi looked at the other room.

”No one important. We are just trying to follow all leads.” Kristian said with a nod before entering the interrogation room.

Kaito was looking at the door when Agent Larsen entered. His dark eyes showed amusement at seeing a familiar face. The last time he had seen the man was after they rescued Hu Lei from the ship. It was not unpleasant to see him again.

”If it is not my old friend, Kristian,” Kaito exclaimed. ”You are a sight for sore eyes. How have you been?”

Agent Larsen's lips twitched at the warm greeting. Like Akira, Kaito did not have the awareness of a suspect being held for interrogation. He even looked comfortable and unaffected. Kristian could not deny that the couple had a way of making him speechless.
