Hu Lei knew that there was no escape, so she told Zhong Feng about Harriet Brown mentioning an adoptive daughter on the ship. She did not even inform the Interpol agents about the young woman because she knew they would cause chaos.
"I told Kaito to investigate her and find out how she was related to the Brown sisters. It did not seem like she had a close relationship with them, so I decided to let it go. I also thought it was a bit convenient, the way Harriet mentioned her name." Hu Lei said.
"Kaito found some suspicious points in her background. She was obviously hiding something, but I could not believe that she was involved with those women, at least not closely. I did not think Kaito would take his curiosity so far."
She still remembered the devious twinkle in his eyes on her wedding day. She should have known that he would not let things go. She suspected that he had been losing interest in his life at that time and was looking for excitement.
