He had eventually found out that a noble of Britain was victimizing the rest of London in order to save himself.

Writing his will with Genshin behind him before their duel.
During the time that van Zieks was still active as a serial killer, one of the Japanese exchange students studying in London had pinpointed the identity of the Professor. Shocked by this, Asogi went to Mael Stronghart, begging him to have the police force make a move. Stronghart refused, as he thought that Asogi saying that Klint had a large dog wasn't enough decisive evidence. Asogi backed down later on and resorted to his own methods.
Late at night, Asogi snuck into Klint van Zieks' residence, cornering him. To give the Professor an honorable death, Genshin proposed that they duel, and van Zieks accepted on two conditions; that he be able to write a will confessing his sins and his crimes, and secondly, for someone to help his pregnant wife, Asogi agreed. Klint's will contained a confession of his crimes as the Professor, as well as Stronghart's role in the murders. In the postscript, he states that his only worry was how his deeds would affect his brother. He hoped that Barok would forgive him, but did not ask for his understanding. Klint had already confessed his sins to his wife and she would understand the reason for his death. He ends off with a note of thanks to Genshin. van Zieks was stabbed in the heart, causing his death. Genshin then ran out of van Zieks' residence, leaving his corpse behind. But a numbers of Klint's servants saw Genshin leave the mansion, this incriminated himself. Klint van Zieks was henceforth treated as the Professor's fifth and final victim at Asogi's trial. Mael Stronghart was the prosecutor, he didn't want the people to know that a fellow British noble was responsible for the killings. So he roped detective Tobias Gregson and doctor John Wilson to have them steal Asogi's ring and pretend that Klint swallowed it when he was killed.
Barok van Zieks insisted that he become the prosecutor as he wanted to avenge his brother.
