Lost Judgment/The Kaito Files: Chapter 1

What Goes Around (, Karuma, "Karma") is the first chapter of the Lost Judgment add-on "The Kaito Files".
== Plot ==
At Café Alps, Issei Hoshino meets private detective Shiro Senda of the Bato Detective Agency. He breaks detective-client privilege by informing Hoshino that Saori Shirosaki had asked them to investigate him, and they took a picture of him leaving a love hotel with a woman. Senda blackmails Hoshino by asking for ¥4,000,000 in exchange for deleting that picture. 
Masaharu Kaito, who was wearing a disguise, interrupts Senda's extortion, and the latter recognizes Kaito from the Matsugane Family. Kaito states that a former client of the Bato Detective Agency asked Kaito to get her money back; Hoshino and Saori were acting to get evidence from Senda, which is the conversation Hoshino recorded. Kaito asks for the client's ¥4,000,000 along with an additional ¥300,000 to compensate him, but Senda grabs the recorder and runs off, prompting Kaito to chase him down.
Senda, after being caught, is made to lead Kaito to the Bato Detective Agency offices. Kaito sees that the office is decorated like a yakuza office. He tells the Agency's chief consultant, Masao Igarashi, that he is familiar with Bato Family's background when they were in the Tojo Clan, and their practices are hurting the reputation of proper detectives, such as the Yagami Detective Agency, though Igarashi states they have a customer satisfaction rate of 80%. He then asks for the same amount of money he asked Senda, but the Bato agents are ordered to take out their competitor.
Kaito fights eight investigators using his Bruiser style while Igarashi watches from the sidelines. All investigators have normal health bars, while Senda has one boss health bar and can perform Deadly Attacks. The office is filled with furniture capable of being used as a weapon, such as chairs, desks, end tables, and plants. Three non-boss investigators have weapons; one bat, one wooden katana, and one dagger. With Kaito victorious, he reaches a settlement with Igarashi.
Back at the office, Kaito, Hoshino, and the client are having a chat. Hoshino laments the uptick of ex-yakuza operating as fraudulent detectives, which tarnished the reputation of proper detectives. After successfully closing the case, Kaito and Hoshino are having a chat about the latter's relationship with Saori. Hoshino is prepared for a long-term relationship, but is unsure of how Saori feels and their relationship has not made much progress overall. Kaito encourages Hoshino to propose to her, and Hoshino decides to do so by the end of the year.
Kaito receives a message from Takayuki Yagami, whose divorce mediation job is taking longer than expected due to the husband running off with the son. He decides to call someone for drinks. Toru Higashi needs to attend a dinner meeting to discuss a new arcade opening up in Isezaki Ijincho with a CEO looking to invest. He adds that a kid came looking for Kaito earlier that day. Fumiya Sugiura is looking into an affair while Makoto Tsukumo wants to attend the premier of Love Star III: The Movie, Director's Cut Edition. Hoshino still has work to do, and Saori wants his help afterward. Kaito decides to drink at Bar Tender alone.
Upon exiting the building, Kaito smells something, introducing his Primal Focus. Right outside Tender, Kaito sees police and a crowd gathered near the scene of a murder, with a mysterious figure briefly looking before leaving. In Tender, Kaito sits next to Mari and Jo Masuda explains that the murder victim was a young executive, and a few days ago, a young CEO was murdered. Kaito also informs Masuda that he completed the assigned job. When discussing Hoshino and Saori's relationship, Mari feels Saori may not be ready for marriage yet. Further discussion on romance almost causes Masuda to bring up unpleasant memories for Kaito. Masuda says that a CEO wants to see Kaito and is offering over ¥20,000,000 for a job. The two suggest Kaito get a makeover, but he insists on satisfying his client with his true self.
The following day, however, Kaito dresses formally and hires Higashi to serve tea for ¥50,000 due to his experience doing so for the Matsugane Family; however, the tea at the Agency is almost expired. Kyoya Sadamoto, CEO of Image Interactive, arrives at Yagami Detective Agency and introduces himself. Sadamoto explains his case: he wants Kaito to find his deceased wife who supposedly committed suicide two years prior at a waterfall in the mountains of Chiba. 
*Ask about his wife: Sadamoto refuses to believe his wife's death, on the basis that someone who looked like his late wife was spotted in Kamurocho about a month prior with an unknown man, even though the corpse found had a DNA test which matched his wife. 
*Ask about compensation: Sadamoto states he will pay ¥2,000,000 up front, ¥20,000,000 for completion, and an extra ¥10,000,000 if his wife is alive.
* Ask for further information: Sadamoto adds that other detectives have been unable to turn up any leads and also personally requests Kaito to handle the investigation due to Kaito's familiarity with his her. He shows the picture of his wife: Mikiko Sadamoto, Kaito's ex-girlfriend. 
Kaito remembers when he left to defend his patriarch against Mikiko's wishes, causing their break-up. Kaito states Mikiko was not the kind of person who would commit suicide, and asks Sadamoto for clarification. The suicide note Mikiko left was sparse on details and Mikiko was having anxiety about her job, and he was too occupied by her job. Their 14-year-old son Jun ran off after learning his mother may be alive, and left his phone behind to prevent his location from being tracked.
Kaito declines the job due to his history with Mikiko, and Sadamoto leaves after seeing his mind is made up. After some brooding, Kaito decides to go for drinks again, and Higashi offers to accompany him this time, even with business to take care of. Higashi also accepts not being paid. With Sadamoto having left the picture of his wife and child behind, Kaito wonders what to do with it before heading out. Outside Tender, Higashi calls him, informing him the problematic child has returned and is asking him to take care of any problems.
In Charles, Kaito sees the kid protecting the female employee from being harassed by two punks. After one of them holds out a knife, Kaito steps in and the kid faints. Kaito fights them and decides to use some old moves once again, unlocking Tank style. With several stools and benches to grab and throw around, Kaito makes short work of the two non-boss thugs. When the kid regains consciousness, he states he recognizes Kaito and introduces himself as Jun Sadamoto, Mikiko's son. He wants Kaito to find Mikiko, but he declines and leaves. Jun runs after him, asking if Kaito really does not care about Mikiko, and then stating he read her diary of how she wanted Kaito out of the yakuza. As Kaito leaves, Jun tells him he may be his biological son due to what else he read in Mikiko's diary.
