“…I’m not one much for guessing motivations. That’s more up your alley, detective.”
He raised a hand to his face, leaning his head on a couple of fingers, slight frown forming. Not that he didn’t get curious from time to time, the assassin just didn’t particularly care, since knowing them didn’t change much.
"So, pray tell, if you really do believe you have enough to successfully arrest, haven’t you?”
Not that he was really expecting an answer. If the detective was trying to get him to guess, it was more likely he wouldn’t anyway.
"It’s really quite simple, Mr. Goldberg…” The detective regarded him with an even expression, though the glint in his eyes was challenging if nothing else. “When given the choice, I won’t turn my quarry over until I’ve learned the whole truth. Without understanding your modus operandi, it is impossible for me to feel truly satisfied with the case.”
Hakuba touched a hand to his lips before tapping his chin, gaze darkening the longer he watched him. “But I don’t suppose you’d favor me in telling such a thrilling secret, would you? Those motivations are what I’m after, more than anything.”
