Jack Li who is downstairs had lost his interest in drinking and he waved to Hogan and said “Boss, I have put the money on the table for you.”
Hogan stuck his head out, glanced at the stack of hundred-dollar bills on the table and said quickly, “Inspector Li, I can’t take that much money, you can keep it. One bill is enough.”
Jack Li said “I didn’t give this money, it was given by my friend, how can I put it in my pocket, you can keep it, I’m leaving.”
After that, he stood up, wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, turned and walked out.

Charlie and Stefanie have been to his store more than once and once he is exposed, Jack Li can find Charlie along the way.
