“And his phone was in Japanese.”
Duncan asked again, “Did you have any encounters after you arrive at the hotel?”
“No.” Barton replied, “After we arrived at the hotel, we were assigned to help in the back kitchen at that time.”
“But immediately after that several of them were assigned different jobs,”
“And then they left the back kitchen altogether.”
Duncan continued to ask: “Then I ask you, who is the person who recruited you in?”
“And who was the one who assigned you jobs? Especially who was the one who assigned work to those Japanese people?”
Barton said, “The one who recruited us is Manager Chen, but I don’t know what his full name is,”
“But he assigned us to the back kitchen, and he also assigned other jobs to the Japanese in the middle.”
Duncan took out the hotel’s staff book, found the page of Leroy Chen, handed it to Barton, and asked, “Is it him?”
Barton took a glance at the photo on the staff book and immediately concluded, “Yes, it’s him!”
Duncan nodded with satisfaction, in his opinion, the breakthrough point had been found.
Then, he said to Barton, “You’ve done a good job.”
Saying that he also took out his money clip from his pocket,
Took out 500 US dollars in cash from it and handed it to Barton, saying,
“Take this money first, and if there are any problems that need consultation, I will look for you again.”
Barton was flattered to take the cash and subconsciously asked,
“Inspector Li …… I …… don’t need to go to the police station anymore, right?”
Duncan knew what Barton was worried about, nodded, and said,
“Don’t worry, you will be allowed to leave when today’s business is over,”
“But before you go, leave a copy of your contact information for the police officer,”
“Either by phone or WhatsApp on the U.S. side, WeChat or e-mail from back home.”
Barton’s heart was happy and he was busy saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll leave my WeChat …… then”
“Good.” Duncan nodded, then had someone take Barton away and instructed,
“Bring the hotel banquet hall’s manager Leroy Chen over.”
At this moment, Leroy was standing incomparably nervous in the middle of the crowd.
After he learned that Randal had been kidnapped and disappeared from the banquet hall, he was scared out of his mind.
He never dreamed that the real target of those people would be the young master of his own family.

Because the lives of his wife and children are in the hands of the ninjas.
It didn’t matter if he died, but if he couldn’t get their lives back, what was the point of living?
