Dai Li did his best to control his fear and panic, and tried to calm down as he stared at the scary looking police officers from the back of the police cruiser.
They must have caught the wrong person. I need to make things clear to them; if that doesn't work, I can still seek help from the Chinese embassy, Dai Li thought.
The police cruiser brought Dai Li to the police station, and he was placed inside an interrogation room.
"Name?"
"Dai Li."
"Job?"
"Coach."
"Why were you in the restaurant?"
"To eat lunch!"
"What's your relationship with Chris Payton?"
"I'm his boss. I've opened a physical fitness training center. I'm the owner, and Chris is a coach."
After a few bouts of questioning and answering, things seemed to have cleared up. A boss was eating lunch with his staff, and then he was unfortunately dragged into the police station.
The officer took the recorded statement and went to Tucker.
