Chapter: 4276

The New York police had already gathered all the staff from the banquet halls and centralized them.

Liaolin was certain that there must be a Japanese ninja insider among them, and the top priority now was to find out this insider.

Liaolin's method was also simple and rough; he didn't follow normal procedures, but instead brought Chen Fu, who was responsible for the situation, into suspicion along with other staff members and put them all in a group together.

This way, he wouldn't have to listen to anyone's biased opinions and could directly find out the problem from among the crowd.

Liaolin's approach was to have his subordinates take high-definition photos of everyone first, then let someone pick one person and take him to the next room, where he would look through all the photos taken before questioning him about whether there were any people who had been seen today but were not present now.

If the other party says there's nothing, then temporarily take him to a corner and have a police officer watch over him, not allowing him to interact with anyone. This way, he won't be able to collude with others either.

The first 10 or so people questioned were all formal employees of Wangfu Hotel, and Chen Fu arranged for the 1st floor staff members to come in during that time, intentionally preventing them from contacting old colleagues. As a result, these old colleagues didn't notice the absence of eight people.

Soon, questioning turned to a temporary worker who had just been hired today to help out.

This temporary worker was a young Asian man who was originally a foreign student at a normal university in New York. His parents had sold off their household goods and sent him abroad to study, hoping he could achieve something great, but unexpectedly, after arriving in the United States, he gradually lost himself, spending every day indulging in wine and song without being able to pull himself out of it. He eventually squandered all the tuition fees his parents had transferred to him.

Because he couldn't pay tuition, he was expelled from school in due course.

According to the policies for studying abroad in the United States, once a student is expelled, their visa will automatically become invalid. In such cases, under normal procedures, one would have to leave the United States first and then figure out what to do.

However, this young man couldn't face his parents at home, so he ended up hiding out in New York instead.

As an illegal immigrant, it's not easy for him; he doesn't have a fixed job or residence. To survive, he would often spend every day hanging around in a net bar on Chinatown, relying on helping others practice games and doing odd jobs to earn a living.

Once the income from game practice wasn't enough, he would come out looking for temporary work to earn some money, then go back to playing games until his money ran out again. When that happened, he would venture out to find another part-time job.

At this moment, he was standing with others in the conference room, waiting for the police to question each of them one by one.

But he was extremely nervous at this moment, because he was different from others. His visa had long expired, and he now fell into the category of illegal immigrants. If the police discovered him, he would definitely be handed over to immigration authorities for processing. Immigration authorities only have one solution for people like him - deportation.

He was anxious not knowing what questions the police would ask during their questioning, wondering if they would check his identification documents.

But these people who had already been questioned and taken away by the police were all taken to another corner, so he couldn't ask them anyway.

At this moment, a policeman approached him, saying, "Come with me."

This young man didn't dare resist and quickly followed the policeman out of the conference room into the next room.

As soon as he entered the next room, he saw Li Yarlin, who had a similar Chinese face.

Li Yarlin smiled slightly at the sight of him, pointed to the single sofa in front of him, and said, "Come on, young man, sit down."

The young man nervously nodded his head, looking anxious as he sat down facing him.

Li Yarlin saw that his forehead was covered with sweat beads, his fingers were shaking uncontrollably, and his small leg was trembling. He casually asked, "Young man, what's your name?"

The young man nervously said, "I... I'm called Zhang Hengkai..." JrNovels.com
