Killing and silencing would be like covering his ears and stealing the bell.
Thinking of this, he looked at Kazuo Hattori and said offhandedly,
“Okay! I promise you! Please make sure you don’t hurt my family!”
“Don’t worry.” Hattori Kazuo smiled faintly and said seriously,
“On the night of the 11th, my people will feed your family,”
“Then hide the container in an absolutely safe place, and after I leave the United States,”
“I will send you the location of the container, and you will be able to rescue them that night.”
Speaking of this, Hattori Kazuo said thoughtfully:
“Leroy, after we leave, the police will probably look for you to investigate,”
“And even list you as a suspect, you do not need to be afraid, just tell the truth,”
“You can even directly tell the location of the container to the police,”
“Let the police help you to save your family, so they will also believe what you say,”
“I believe that even if they hold you responsible, it will not be too heavy,”
“At most, you will go to jail for a few years, but your family will be able to survive safely.”
When Leroy heard this, he felt a little more grateful to Hattori Kazuo.
Because he did not expect that these kidnappers would consider them so meticulously,
It seems that there is indeed some benevolence in it.
It was also Hattori Kazuo’s words of attack that completely dispelled Leroy’s doubts.
So, he looked at Hattori Kazuo and said,
“On the night of the 11th, bringing you to the banquet hall as a waiter, that’s all I have to do, right?”
Hattori Kazuo laughed and said, “Not just me, but eight people, as long as you put the eight of us in, your task is done.”
As far as I know, your charity dinner on the 11th night will be very large,
At least two to three hundred guests will be there, and the dinner will be of high specifications,
So more manpower will be needed, and you can tell the others that we are from other departments,
Or say that the eight of us are temporary helpers from other departments or from another branch of the hotel,
And the others will definitely not be suspicious.”
Leroy nodded gently.
In order to maximize profits, the hotel is really not equipped with a very adequate staff, usually temporary needs, temporary signs.
And temporary signs are also very easy, in New York’s free labor market,
There are a large number of temporary workers who do a day lie three days,
As long as they do not have money to eat, they will play around to earn some living expenses,
As long as the hourly rate of $ 15 is paid, no matter what the job, the other party will rush to apply for.
This group of people is very mobile, today in the hotel as a waiter,
The next day after tomorrow may be in the restaurant brush plate,
And then two days may go to a construction site as a porter.
So, when you arrange for eight temporary workers to come in, it will certainly not arouse suspicion.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said to Kazuo Hattori,
“Okay! I promise you! I will definitely put you guys in when the time comes!”
FAQ Novel
Q: Why does Hattori Kazuo assure Leroy that his family won’t be killed, despite being involved in a kidnapping?
A: Hattori argues that since he will be seen on surveillance cameras and his identity exposed, killing the hostages to avoid exposure would be illogical and ‘self-deception.’ His primary goal is to complete the mission and safely leave with the money, not to become a ‘psychopathic murderer’.
Q: What is the plan for Leroy’s family after the mission is completed?
A: Hattori promises that on the night of the 11th, his people will feed Leroy’s family and hide them in a safe container. After Hattori leaves the United States, he will send Leroy the location of the container, allowing Leroy to rescue them that same night.
