Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

"Come on! Why do we have to leave? Just because you have a warrant doesn't mean we have to leave!"

"That's right. This is our home. Where do you expect us to go out in this dangerous situation? Officers... We have already told you we are innocent. There is a bigger enemy out there. So what if we end up getting attacked by them? Rather than going, why don't we stay here and occupy Brother Ghu?"

"Yes! Yes... That's right, officers. We don't take up much standing space. So why must you be so stingy? Or are you trying to steal from us when we aren't here? Brother Ghu... Please say something. Tell these officers that you are with us."

The officers didn't utter a word but only lightly shoved this group out of the main mansion and assisted them in getting into their luxury cars, seeing that they drove out.

The estate drivers were also at a loss when dealing with such employers who kept cursing at him, instructing him to turn back.

Of course, before any vehicle left the premises, it was searched and checked before leaving, lest they wanted to sneak away with the bones of the missing.

That's right. For now, anyone could be a suspect... Even the gardeners.

So all workers and estate guards were not only told to leave the premises but wait outside for questioning, one by one.

What did they do? Could they tell them anything they found suspicious during this time?

What about guests? Did anyone other than the police come over during these days?

How was the temper of Wei Kno and his family before the people got missing?

Everyone was to give their statements. And to make sure they wouldn't be judged by others, the police vans, not undercover, were all arranged as interrogation rooms for them.

There were 7 vans. And when a lesson heard their name, they would go to the van calling them.

The police had the names of workers here. And because some people were not on shift now, the police would have to request these people visit them at the station before a certain deadline expired.

But for the most part, since the workers lived on the estate, many of those not on shift were in their rooms. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Working in prominent families was akin to the military when it concerned living matters.

They, the workers, had to live in the tastes until it was their big holiday period.

Everyone had different holiday periods, so the estate would never be empty and lacking workers.

So even if they were only working 8~10 hour shifts a day, they must sleep in the estate, even if they used their daily free time to roam about the city.

Thus, there were still many workers not on shift staying in the worker quarters. These groups were mostly those whose shifts began in the afternoon.

One by one, everyone left the premises and was taken to the side for questioning.

It wasn't right for the police to block the gated community roads, stopping other wealthy neighbors from passing by. So the officers directed the group to the nearby Park within the gated community.

Those who gave their statements early could leave and do as they pleased since the waste doors wouldn't be open for several hours.

The feeling was akin to students having public holidays out of the blue due to bad weather and whatnot.

Many with afternoon shifts even wished the investigation would eat well into the afternoon leading to evening.

That is... Who didn't like more free time?

(^_^)

...

Everyone was well on their way out of the estate when soon, one of the newly hired guards commented on something strange before leaving the main building.

He hinted at Payne, not wanting to say what he had in front of the others. Likewise, he didn't want anyone to know he said so.

"You there... Stay back and show us your security room. And you, 3rd head guard… follow officer Muriel. We have questions to ask." f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Payne gave the man a way out, and no one thought it strange. They only felt Payne had picked the man randomly out of the lot. Payne also called out one of the head guards since it would be odd if he asked a newbie to explain all estate security.

Like so, the bunch of Kwo guards, as well as the 3rd head guard, left the place unsuspecting. And the little guard who stayed behind felt his plans covered in a thick layer of sweat.

The inspectors, field agents, and Bewoh's group stared at the guard calmly.

"They're gone... What is it you'd like to tell us? Don't worry. We won't let anyone know the information came from you."

The guard had a bitter look on his face. He suddenly felt like a rat... A big snitch. But if he didn't say anything, his conscience might be in a constant state of turmoil for the rest of his life.

He had been feeling too uneasy about this matter. And now, he could finally stop his long periods of sleepless nights.

"It's about... It's about our Head Guard."

Who?

Everyone's mind spun, quickly reading who the estate head guard was from the information they read.

"Botan Riverre…" Bewoh calmly stated before everyone's brain reacted.

They looked at Bewoh curiously.

"How do you know him?"

"Know."

Bewoh chuckled. That used to be his first boss in the Tian estate.

That used to be the former big dog running Tian security. So how could he not know him?

Strange...

Countless emotions flickered through Bewoh's eyes in under a second.

As Head Guard, the Botan he knew would always want to brush off his existence and authority wherever he worked.

It was strange to say that they should've been talking to him or should have at least seen him since they came.

His file showed he was still in his working period. So why wasn't he here?

"That's the thing, officers... Our head… Our head guard has suddenly become strange."
