Livestream: The Adjudicator of Death

Chapter 10 - Task Force Zero

Ross answered, “We found a death notice in the trash can of Bowen’s office, but no fingerprints were found on it. The text was also printed by a printer. The company’s surveillance cameras have also been checked. The suspect seems to be very familiar with the location of the camera, and he didn’t leave any clues. As for Bowen’s social connections, they are more complicated. We haven’t finished the investigation yet, but the possibility of revenge killings is not high.”

“Does that mean that the Death Inquisitor really thinks of himself as the Inquisitor?” Terrence said with wide eyes.

“Of course not. He’s a bloodthirsty killer! Right now, we have two objectives. The first is to study the components of the muscle-dissolving solution. It has been tested. We have already checked all the hospitals in New York that have this medicine. The second is to trace the live broadcast room. We need to check his IP address. Also, we can’t find the money that the netizens gave us. We can reverse-track it and see who has recently received funds that match the amount of the reward.”

After Ross spoke, Terrence nodded and said, “Do you see that car? I hired a god for you.”

“Who is it?”

Ross looked over and looked out as a car had come to a stop. A tall and very beautiful woman came down from the car. She looked to be in her thirties and had long blonde hair. She looked very elegant.

“Monica?”

Ross was surprised. Everyone in the police system knew about this woman. She was a professor of criminal psychology at Stanford University and a professional first-level police captain. Her main research areas were criminal psychology, criminal psychology portraits, social psychology research, and organized crime. She was also involved in a lot of other campaigns and studies conducted by experts and talented women.

“How is it? For this case, can you be the chief captain?” Terrence asked Ross.

“Of course, of course. I promise to catch the murderer as soon as possible,” Ross answered.

“Yes, all right. Internet police officer Judy, the former captain of the American Hacker Union; Forensic Doctor Bowman, the President of the American Forensic Association; and Trace Expert Hart, the President of the American Criminal Technology Association—the personnel assigned to you are all elites. In addition to Monica and a great detective like you, the five members of the Special Task Force are complete. From today onwards, the Special Task Force will be established, and its name will be Zero.”

“Yes, sir!”  Ross was very excited.

Following that, the police held a press conference and announced Bowen’s crimes to the public.

However, they did not explain whether the main door of the building was not locked and whether the death judge’s countdown was misleading.

However, the release of the tiniest bit of news concerning the Death Inquisitor caused a huge reaction on the Internet.

The discussions of netizens were heated up, and the Death Inquisitor was one of the top searches on the Internet for several days.

The netizens were roughly divided into two camps: support and opposition.

This was in line with the reaction of the audience.

The opposition was simply that no matter what. They could not resort to lynching. Everything had to be solved by law. What the death judge did—sentencing a criminal without tapping the authorities—was a crime in itself. If everyone followed suit and did this, society would become chaotic.

The supporters thought that no one would have the courage to do such a thing. No one would have dared to touch or mess with Philomen Bowen. He was an affluent criminal. He was very wealthy and was held a high status in society, so he was virtually untouchable. Even if he had committed so many crimes, it would have been easy for him to escape the punishment of the law. The Death Inquisitor’s execution was something that the law could not control. What was important for the Death Inquisitor was that people like Bowen deserved to die.

Although there were many who questioned the Death Inquisitor’s way of sentencing, there were many supporters who expressed their faith in him. Most people still thought that a criminal like Bowen deserved to be punished that way and that he should have been punished.

There was also a small number of people who were neutral about the whole thing. Most of these people thought that the Death Inquisitor had done the right thing by executing Bowen, but for a moment, they also believed that it was just too bloody and vicious.

Jack sat in the security room and watched the news for a while. Then, he put away his phone and looked at the people walking in and out of the hall. Suddenly, a girl who looked like a high school student came into sight.
