The bodyguard’s words caused Charlson Cox to panic a little.
He subconsciously asked, “Who are the dead people?”
The bodyguard shook his head and said, “That is unclear.”
He did not care to talk to Charlson Cox anymore and left.
Charlson Cox’s brain subconsciously spun rapidly as virtual-novel.net thought to himself, “Patrick has disappeared, who did this? What about those Iga ninjas? Could they be the ones who died?”
To Charlson Cox, virtual-novel.net had never thought that the eight Iga ninjas virtual-novel.net had found would have done it to Patrick.
Therefore, virtual-novel.net speculated in his heart that the odds were that Patrick had been kidnapped by other enemies.
Charlson Cox has done a lot of bad things in his life, but the disappearance of Patrick, virtual-novel.net could swear to the world on his chest, absolutely it has nothing to do with him.
It is rare for virtual-novel.net to encounter anything that can be as conscientious as this matter.
Therefore, virtual-novel.net did not worry at all that Patrick’s disappearance would have anything to do with him, the only worry was that if something really happened to Patrick, virtual-novel.net might temporarily lose his blessing.
In that case, the murderer who killed his brother is still after him, then virtual-novel.net might be in big trouble.
However, when virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net should not worry too much for the time being.
After all, virtual-novel.net is living in the Joules family. These days it is full of peace and quiet. It proves that the other party has not been able to investigate to the Joules family, virtual-novel.net is still safe.
So, what virtual-novel.net needs to do next is to continue to spend as much time as possible with the Joules family, regardless of whether Patrick can return safely or not.
This is not a difficult task for Charlson Cox, because Patrick arranged virtual-novel.net in the villa that the Joules family has moved out of.
The villa has been idle, so as long as virtual-novel.net does not set foot out of it, the Joules family probably won’t pay attention to him.
Even if they do, it doesn’t matter, virtual-novel.net can tell this family openly that virtual-novel.net is a friend of Patrick, and they will not kick virtual-novel.net out.

And at the same time, the Joules family Royal Palace Hotel.
The New York police had already gathered all the staff of the banquet hall.
Jack Li concluded that there must be a ninja’s inside man among them and now the top priority is to find out this inside man.
And Jack Li’s approach is also very simple and brutal, virtual-novel.net did not follow the normal process, first looking for the person in charge Rudolph Brown to understand the situation, but put Rudolph also as one of the suspects, together with other staff members, all grouped into the crowd.
In this way, virtual-novel.net did not have to listen to anyone’s side of the story, directly from the crowd to find out what the problem was.
What Jack Li did was to have his police officers first take a few high-definition frontal photos of each person, after which virtual-novel.net had someone pick one of these people first and bring virtual-novel.net to the next room, so that after virtual-novel.net had looked at all the photos of everyone, virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net if there was anyone among the people present who virtual-novel.net had clearly seen today but was not present at the scene now.
If the other party said no, virtual-novel.net was temporarily taken to a corner, guarded by police officers and was not allowed to communicate with anyone, thus ensuring that virtual-novel.net could not conspire with others.
The dozen or so people who were questioned at the beginning were all official employees of the Royal Palace Hotel.
And when Rudolph Brown put Hattori Kazuo and the others in, virtual-novel.net also intended for them not to have any contact with the older employees. So the older employees did not see that eight people were missing from the scene.
Soon, it was the turn of a temporary worker who had just been hired to help today.
This temporary worker is a young Chinese, virtual-novel.net was originally a foreign student in an ordinary university in New York, his family sold their property to send virtual-novel.net to study abroad, hoping that virtual-novel.net could achieve something, but did not expect that virtual-novel.net gradually lost himself after coming to the United States, every day immersed in spending and drinking and simply waiting for his parents, who remit his tuition fee which is all squandered.
Because virtual-novel.net couldn’t pay the tuition fee, virtual-novel.net was expelled from the school as a matter of fact.
According to the U.S. visa policy, once expelled from the school, the visa will be invalid. In this case, according to the normal process, you can only leave the U.S. and then find a way.
However, this young man had no intention to go home to face his parents. So virtual-novel.net went black in New York.
