Just as the FBI agents began to check all the crew members on board, Ren He also got the list he wanted. Including himself and Steve, there were only four new crew members who had joined before this sailing.
Ren He had considered whether the other party might stay onboard as a passenger, but in fact, Steve had denied this possibility. The FBI wasn't foolish—those who have certain freedom of movement on the ship and can interact with passengers without concern could only be the crew members.
If it's a passenger, how could they conveniently conduct their search? Moreover, this person is very likely to be a member of the housekeeping staff.
Ren He looked at Steve suspiciously. The other two new hires were indeed from the housekeeping department. He was beginning to suspect that Steve had seen this crew manifest before speaking so confidently.
"What unit did you retire from?" Ren He asked, puzzled. When Steve spoke with such certainty, Ren He suddenly became interested in his past.
