Chapter 40: Investigation 2
"Hmmph hmph!" Ervi immediately nodded his head. Although he appeared arrogant and confident, he was actually a cowardly and timid man, afraid of those who were much stronger than him.
"Good." The masked man nodded happily before removing the gag covering Ervi's mouth.
"Now, tell me, were you the one assigned to kill Obito?" Hearing the masked man's question, Ervi was shocked, and his eyes widened.
"So it's true, huh?" The man instantly realized this.
"No! It wasn't me!"
"Not you?"
"Yes! Yes! I only sold information about that strange masked man in the Black Market! I don't know who was assigned to kill the strange masked man! I only sold information about his abilities and identity! That's all! Please believe me!"
"What did you get in return?"
"That- that..."
"Which finger do you want me to break first?"
"No! No! I got 20,000 Forty! Just money!"
"Where is the Black Market located?"
"It's here! In the West District!"
"How do you get to the Black Market? Specifically, where is the exact location of the Black Market?"
"It's on a street in the West District! Specifically, Fabeu Street! There are many tarps covering the top of the Black Market! There are also several barriers blocking the entrance! So it's difficult to find!"
"Explain in detail!"
After that, Ervi began to explain in detail, from the exact location of the Black Market to the method of entering the Black Market with a certain code.
"How does the Black Market manage to survive? Shouldn't it be searched by the Police or the Army?"
"... That's normal because the Black Market is owned by a government official."
"Is that true?"
"Of course!"
"Hmm..." The man looked at Ervi with a serious gaze.
"If you're lying, I will kill you."
"I- I'm telling the truth! The owner of the Black Market is named Aberto Robert! He is the head of the Robert Family! Also one of the Ten Government Councils!"
Hearing all this, the black-masked man remained silent before nodding his head.
"How did you find out about this? Isn't this supposed to be super secret information?"
"No! It's common knowledge! That's why no one in Fort City 085 dares to go against the Robert Family!"
"I see..."
"Now- now, can you let me go?"
"Sure." The man then punched Ervi again.
"Now, you can die peacefully," said the masked man, who was actually Kakuzu, who had infiltrated Ervi's house.
Kakuzu had previously discovered Ervi, who had just wanted to go home. Kakuzu followed Ervi until they reached his house and finally sneaked in and threatened him.
Who would have thought that Ervi would confess honestly? Of course, Kakuzu couldn't let Ervi live, so Kakuzu intended to make it look like a suicide.
By making Ervi hang himself, although Kakuzu wasn't a cold-blooded killer, he had to be unflinching when it came to killing someone in order to survive.
After carefully planning everything, Ervi was finally killed, making it appear as if he died from hanging himself with a bundle of rope.
Seeing that Ervi was truly dead, Kakuzu then erased any possible clues as a murder case. After finishing cleaning up, Kakuzu immediately left the scene and went to the agreed-upon location.
Upon arriving there, Kakuzu found Kakashi and Obito waiting.
"You took so long, Kakuzu! We've been waiting for you!" Obito spoke with an annoyed expression.
"Just stop, Obito. You just arrived too," Kakashi said with an irritated tone.
