Chapter 720: Chapter 448: Are You Xu Liang? (2)

"Why is Captain Zheng in such a hurry? Shouldn’t he be the one personally handling something like this?"

Officer Liu glanced around and whispered,

"Let me tell you, but don’t spread this around."

"The reason this operation could be completed... is because we have an informant on the ship!"

"But after Captain Zheng boarded the ship, he couldn’t find the informant no matter how hard he tried. Now, everyone, including Captain Yang, is very anxious."

The informant disappeared!?

The people around showed astonishment on their faces, then their expressions turned slightly gloomy.

What’s an informant? An undercover agent!

Not being able to find the undercover agent after the operation, what does that imply?

Death, sacrifice, or that kind of heroic sacrifice where not even the body can be found!

They’ve seen what’s on the ship; among the suspects arrested, which one of them doesn’t have at least two or three lives on their hands?

And for those with bizarre tastes, what’s in their rooms is even more gruesome, making one want to vomit!

If the informant fell into their hands... it would be worrying.

"Alright, stop talking, let’s register the information first."

Officer Liu shook his head, pulling everyone’s thoughts back to the matter at hand.

The language barrier is one of the biggest issues in the interrogation, but fortunately, the police have plenty of talent.

Soon, several young officers with not low ranks but not old in age appeared on the deck.

Then,

they were brought before several suspects.

Officer Liu took a picture of the bare-faced, furry white man standing in front of him, then picked up paper and pen, rolled his eyes, and looked at the young officers, saying,

"Ask him what his name is."

The young officer nodded and began to translate a little.

Upon hearing familiar words,

the man grew excited, a shadow flickering in his eyes, and he started speaking rapidly.

"What’s he saying?" Officer Liu asked.

The young officer responded, "He says his name is Aopule, he’s a prince of the Sun Never Sets royal family, we have no right to arrest him, he has diplomatic immunity, and we need to contact the embassy."

Upon hearing this, Old Liu’s face showed a hint of disdain.

"Ha, wishful thinking."

Then,

Old Liu suddenly paused, glancing to the side at the person being held separately by four policemen, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After a moment, he said,

"Ask him."

"Who is that guy next to him that’s handcuffed, what’s his identity?"

The young officer nodded and repeated the question.

Aopule was taken aback upon hearing it, looked at Xu Liang, then back at him, and after a while, responded in surprise.

The young officer translated, "He says, isn’t this guy one of our police?"

"He’s also asking why we’re handcuffing our own people."

Old Liu was stunned.

Our own people?

Hadn’t he looked at the other guy’s information?!

The guy who killed 21 thugs, causing countless casualties, how could he be one of ours?

"What nonsense, I saw him killing people when Captain Zheng and I made the arrest!"

Old Liu shook his head with a frown.

To be honest, the handcuffed person had also broadened Old Liu’s horizons.

Before boarding, Yang Chengzhou and Zheng Chengfeng repeatedly warned that everyone on the ship were thugs, extremely dangerous ones.

Back then, Old Liu thought, with over thirty years of policing experience, he’d seen all sorts of thugs, there was no need to be afraid.

But after getting on the ship and seeing this person...

Old Liu realized the captain was right.

He and Zheng Chengfeng found this person along the bodies in the rest area!

If not for this, he wouldn’t have pessimistically thought Xu Liang might be sacrificed. Even a lawyer, let alone anyone, would have been handed over when facing such criminals!

But now, the person says...

That thug isn’t one of theirs!?

Aopule, upon hearing this, went on excitedly in a stream of words.

The young officer continued to translate, "He said he was sleeping at the time, and after hearing gunshots, he curiously opened the door, only to almost get shot by the person at the door."

"If he hadn’t locked the door quickly, he estimates he would have been dead, so that guy couldn’t possibly be with the Cross Group!"

Old Liu: ?

Officer Liu paused, looking at the man in front of him whose anger seemed genuine, feeling stunned.

After a long time.

"Officer Zhang, register first, I’ll go take care of something else."

Officer Liu handed the paper and pen to the young officer.

Then, he stepped forward towards the criminal being guarded by four officers.

"Da da da..."

Hearing footsteps approaching.

The four guards’ nerves tightened, instinctively turning around, their hands slightly raising their guns.

"Calm down, I’m just here to ask something."

Officer Liu stopped and said.

The four officers nodded, "Alright."

They were very excited.

For the first time in their lives, they were facing such an executioner; even though there wouldn’t be any accidents, their palms were sweaty.

After greeting them, Officer Liu looked down at Xu Liang sitting on the ground.

Xu Liang also looked up at him.

The two exchanged glances, and after a long pause, Old Liu tentatively asked.

"Do... do you speak English?"

Xu Liang: ?

Xu Liang sneered and replied, speechless, "I’m from Eastern Country."

Eastern Country!?

Old Liu raised an eyebrow, then hesitantly asked:

"Are you with the Cross Group? A high-ranking member?"

The criminals on this ship had mostly joined the Cross Group, not by acquiring shares, but through a verbal alliance.

"No."

Xu Liang shook his head.

"You’re not one of them!?"

Old Liu was stunned, a bit shocked, and subconsciously glanced behind him.

This butcher-like ruthless criminal isn’t part of the Cross Group?

"Then which side are you on?"

"What do you mean, which side?" Xu Liang was also a bit taken aback by the question.

Old Liu thought for a moment and simply asked directly, "What’s your name?"

Foreigners are difficult to check, but it’s easy to investigate Eastern Country nationals, thanks to their comprehensive household registration system. With a name and some details, you can usually figure out one’s identity cleanly.

Xu Liang replied:

"Double Xu, single name Liang... ’kind’ Liang."

"Oh, so your name is Xu Liang."

Old Liu nodded and instinctively etched this in his mind.

But after a few seconds.

Old Liu suddenly paused, realizing something was off, and was dumbfounded.

Xu... Liang?

Why does that name sound familiar?

A few moments later.....

"Xu... Xu Liang!?"

Old Liu abruptly raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, bound with ropes, hands cuffed behind his back, even his feet chained, his eyes filled with shock.

He especially focused on the man’s clothes.

That suit...

No, right now it can’t even be considered a suit.

Saturated with blood and brain matter, the suit, and the once pristine shirt seemed to have endured a massacre. It reeked of blood, dried and shrunken by the sea winds, it looked more like a butcher’s leather coat stained with blood!

"Are you Xu Liang!?"

At this moment.

Bound Xu Liang wriggled slightly, shifting to a more comfortable position, he heard the commotion, looked back at him, and nodded.

"Yes, I am Xu Liang."

Xu Liang said.

Officer Liu fell silent.

His lips parted slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating, holding back yet yearning to express.

Eventually.

Officer Liu took a deep breath, looking at the four people beside him, as if he had accepted something unbelievable and new.

"You keep watch, I’ll go find Captain Zheng."

The four officers, though puzzled, nodded and continued their guard.

Officer Liu silently turned and walked inside the ship.

Inside the ship.

Zheng Chengfeng was still persistently searching, investigating while looking.

But unfortunately...

If they had a photo, things would be easier; they could compare it with the bodies, but they didn’t even have a picture, making the search exhausting.

No way around it.

Wang Hai knew what Xu Liang looked like and could get hold of photos.

But there was no way to directly transmit the photos to the few people!

Printing was possible but only temporarily, as they had just boarded the ship not long ago...

"Hopefully nothing happens, he can escape that lunatic’s pursuit."

Banquet kitchen.

Zheng Chengfeng lifted the glass cabinet of the cold storage, seeing what’s inside, silently prayed.

However, at this moment...

"Captain Zheng, there’s something!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Zheng Chengfeng turned around and saw Officer Liu, with a serious expression, rushing towards him.

"What happened?" Zheng Chengfeng asked.

Officer Liu whispered, "The person has been found!"

The person... found!?

Zheng Chengfeng paused, then his eyes lit up, heart racing, he couldn’t wait to say, "Xu Liang!?"

Officer Liu nodded.

"Where is he now!?"

"Uh..."

Officer Liu hesitated, not knowing how to start.

"Tell me!"

Zheng Chengfeng saw this, his heart sank immediately to the abyss, images of countless corpses from the banquet floated in his mind.

The opposing side...

Zheng Chengfeng said gravely, "Has he been sacrificed!?"
