Livestream: The Adjudicator of Death

Chapter 21 - Police Tricks

“Then it shouldn’t be, right? Could it be post-production? Did he use some kind of radio device? Did he remove the background sound?”

“Impossible! Any software that manipulates the background sounds of a video cannot be completed. Unless Alice and Morrison used a microphone, their voices would have been treated as a mix, but obviously, they didn’t,” Judy said.

“Since that’s impossible, then how did this guy do it?” Willie felt that his IQ could not keep up, and his head was starting to ache.

Seeing that no one noticed, Chief Ross said, “I don’t know if you noticed, but when Morrison died, there were many close-up shots and angles of the live broadcast room.”

“What?”

“At that time, the flames here were as high as 1,500 degrees Celsius. What kind of camera could get close to such a high temperature? Those shots weren’t done by zooming in. Those shots were definitely taken directly by the camera.”

When everyone heard Ross’s analysis, they were all shocked. Only then did they realize that they had overlooked such an important point.

That’s right! What kind of lens could get so close to a flame of 1,500 degrees Celsius!

Ross’s analysis was very accurate. A few of them were very impressed, but at the same time, there was too much incredulity and too many mysteries. They felt that the whole thing was too strange. It was as if the Death Inquisitor’s IQ and methods were beyond their imagination!

“What do we do now? The investigation seems to have reached a stalemate again. Do we have to let this guy continue?” Willie stared with his eyes wide open, his face full of anger.

At this moment, Monica, who had been silent all this while, spoke.  “There are four types of serial killers in terms of geographical behavior patterns—the domain type, wandering type, fixed location type, and intrusion type. The Death Judge is a typical fixed location type. He would lure or kidnap the victim into a prepared place to commit a crime. This type of serial killer has a very strong sense of planning and is very meticulous in his actions. Moreover, the Death Judge is a confident and calm person. I believe this will not be the last one. He will commit another crime!”

Monica looked at Ross as she spoke. “I suggest that we announce to the public that this trial broadcast is a recording. I think the Death Judge will do something during the next live broadcast to prove that it’s not true, that it’s being done live. By then, we will have to be extra vigilant and keep our eyes peeled for any flaws that we could use to move further into the investigation!”

Ross felt that it was a very good idea. He nodded and said, “Apart from that, we have to take away all the surveillance data in the surroundings!”

At 10 PM that night, the media got wind of the news and immediately reported it.

Jack had just finished washing up at home. The moment he came out of the bathroom, he checked his phone. His news feed was filled with news about his live broadcast.

His live broadcast videos had become popular. Any news concerning the “Live Broadcast of Death” would become a hot topic, and people all over the Internet would talk about it until it became a hot, trending topic.

Jack browsed through his news feed and opened an article that claims that the live broadcast was a recorded broadcast.

“It can’t be a recorded broadcast!”

“It’s hard to say. There’s no interaction. It might really be a recorded broadcast!”

“Looks like the Death Inquisitor is going to get caught. What a pity! In the end, it didn’t last for too long!”

“With such advanced technology and cameras everywhere, how is it possible to keep escaping from the police? It’s very impressive that he was able to broadcast two episodes in a row!”

“Who said that we can’t keep escaping from the police? Didn’t the police not catch the three people who were sentenced by the Inquisitor? Not to mention catching them, they didn’t even have any clues.”

Jack glanced at the netizens’ comments and frowned slightly. Then, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Interesting. It seems that my opponents finally remembered how to use their brains,” he muttered maliciously.
