86: Exposed! Poor Young Master Long

The waiter scurried over, a wide grin on his face. "Officer, you're looking for me? I'll definitely cooperate with anything, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Ye Lin gave him a sidelong glance and said coldly, "Just answer what I ask; you don't need to say more."

It's better to suppress people like this first; if they get too excited, these onlookers are prone to getting off-topic.

"What's your name?" Ye Lin walked over and asked.

"Officer, my name is Ah Feng, and I'm a waiter," the gossip-loving man answered promptly.

"Do your waiters at Golden Sea have any requirements for hairstyles?" Ye Lin pressed on.

"Huh?" The gossip-loving man looked a bit confused. He thought for a moment: "Not really, I guess. We just require them to be clean and tidy, nothing too outlandish. Officer, you know how it is these days; everyone likes to show their individuality. If you made everyone have the same hairstyle, who would like that, right?"

"Hold it!" Ye Lin quickly snapped in a low voice. Sure enough, onlookers always had this trait; they easily got sidetracked.

"What's wrong, Officer? Is there a problem?" The gossip-loving man immediately stopped talking, looking at Ye Lin with anticipation.

At the same time, he unconsciously turned his head to look at the hair of a few people behind him, wondering who the officer was referring to.

1 minute ago.

Young Master Long was actually very annoyed with Ye Lin; after all, he had been beaten.

Seeing Ye Lin acting so pompous, standing at attention one moment, asking questions the next, and even his boss, Young Master Fang, seemed to respect him, filled Young Master Long with extreme dissatisfaction.

If you were also a second-generation heir, that would be one thing, but a small police officer? What's with the pretense?

Young Master Long casually said to a waiter beside him, "Just a small police officer, acting all high and mighty, as if he can find the killer. Don't you think so?"

The waiter looked helpless. "Young Master Long, he has Young Master Kang and Young Master Fang backing him."

Young Master Long snorted through his nostrils. "A sycophant! I think he's useless, asking a waiter about something over there."

"I took one look at that waiter, and he doesn't seem like the killer at all, with that smiling face."

"So stupid, don't come out and make a fool of yourself, don't you think so?"

At this moment, the gossip-loving man's gaze had already swept over, lingering for a moment on the head of the waiter next to Young Master Long.

"Still looking? What the hell are you looking at, idiot?" Young Master Long said disdainfully.

Just as Young Master Long thought the waiter next to him would agree, a cold voice came, "I don't know if he's stupid, but you are truly stupid."

Young Master Long was furious at these words. Just as he was about to turn his head to reprimand this ignorant young man, a cold glint suddenly appeared at his neck, and a sharp blade pressed against his throat.

"Don't move, you idiot!"

Meanwhile, Ye Lin wasn't paying attention, and this gossip-loving waiter actually turned his head to look at someone else.

Ye Lin inwardly cried out, "This is bad."

Sure enough, as soon as the gossip-loving man saw the waiter wearing a wig, that person knew he was about to be exposed, and a small knife was immediately placed at Young Master Long's neck.

"Ah—"

Several screams echoed in the corridor. Everyone fled as if for their lives, moving away from the waiter and Young Master Long, creating a large empty space. The corridor exit became crowded.

Ye Lin decisively shouted, "Everyone, get out, get out!"

Instantly, all irrelevant people rushed out, hiding behind Team Leader Guan and the other police officers.

And as soon as the knife was out, Team Leader Guan no longer cared about Young Master Kang. He pushed through the crowd and charged forward, his hand reaching for his waist. A pistol was pointed at the wig-wearing waiter. "Put down the knife! You are surrounded!"

The few team members behind him immediately followed, three people pointing their guns at the waiter from a distance of two meters.

Young Master Long's legs were already weak with fright. What was going on today? First, he was beaten by Ye Lin, and now a knife was at his neck. Young Master Long wanted to cry. He wished he had checked the almanac before going out today.

"Brother, brother, please, gently, gently, don't hurt me. I'll give you money, I'll give you money." Young Master Long began to beg, his voice choked with tears.

However, the money that was usually all-powerful was now useless. The only answer he received was a cold steel blade.

"Say another word, and I'll cut you down. We'll all die together," the waiter threatened.

Young Master Long was so scared he quickly shut his mouth, his eyes constantly looking at Ye Lin and Young Master Guan. At this moment, he could only seek help from the police.

Ye Lin stood behind Team Leader Guan and his team. He didn't have a gun, and facing such a hostage situation with a knife, he was helpless. He could only rely on Team Leader Guan.

He took a step back, standing with Young Master Kang and Young Master Fang.

"Officer Ye, you're amazing!" Young Master Fang gave a thumbs-up. "You found the killer in less than an hour."

"That's right, Officer Ye can do more than just this." Young Master Kang proudly put his arm around Ye Lin's shoulder, indicating his relationship with Ye Lin.

Young Master Fang smiled slightly at Young Master Kang's childish display, ignoring him, and instead turned to ask, "Officer Ye, how did you know it was him? I didn't see him show anything?"

"A guess. I'm not a god; how could I know in such a short time? I just guessed that the killer must have been disguised, and he wore a wig and a fake chin. I didn't expose him; ultimately, he just felt guilty himself," Ye Lin replied calmly.

Young Master Kang and Young Master Fang nodded. To be honest, they also didn't believe Ye Lin could find the killer so quickly.

On the other side, Team Leader Guan's subordinates had already evacuated the others.

"Young Master Kang, Young Master Fang, why don't you go outside first? It's dangerous here," a police officer came over and said.

Ye Lin timely pulled out his police ID. "Senior Brother, we're on the same side."

The "Senior Brother" made the guy embarrassed to chase them away. Looking at the two young masters next to him who were ignoring him, he could only say, "Then you guys be careful."

After the personnel were cleared, Team Leader Guan finally relaxed. At least the situation was currently under control.

He put away his pistol, raised his hands to show he was unarmed, and shouted from a distance to the waiter, "Young man, you are now surrounded. Put down your weapon, and we can still talk. Don't hurt anyone else."

"Trust us, okay?"

Hostage situations are very troublesome. If the killer can be persuaded to give up resistance through negotiation, that would naturally be best, although the possibility is relatively low.

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe that?" A fierce glint appeared in the killer's eyes, without the slightest fear. "I've already killed one person; I don't care about killing another."

"Trust you police? Are you police useful? That Lu Shaohui, he deserved to die!" The waiter's emotions suddenly became agitated.

Team Leader Guan was so startled that he quickly pressed his hands down and said softly, "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated. I'll get a negotiation expert right away to see what you need."

He wasn't a professional negotiation expert either; he could only wait for backup.
