Chapter 269: Mysterious Disappearance
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Having really walked into a dead-end, the UFX Bureau of Investigation issued a letter of request to the American Federal Bureau of Investigation to assist in capturing the Death Inquisitor.
The American police department directly rejected it without any mercy.
This result made Paul so angry that he exploded on the spot. He shouted, “Ah, d*mn it! D*mn it!”
At this moment, one of his subordinates suggested, “Chief, should we report this to the President and ask him to intervene?”
“Do you think that’s possible? We are the ones who are not in the right in this matter. If we asked the president to intervene and we were rejected, would you still have enough pride? At that time, all of us will be finished.”
As the live broadcast of death continued to ferment, the heat did not decrease even after more than ten days. Furthermore, the name “Death Judge” was known to the entire world.
It had truly pushed the live broadcast to the entire world.
The American police department also held an emergency meeting to fully discuss the matter concerning the Death Judge.
“I think that we should still put the Death Judge on the wanted list. Although he has punished the crimes this time and brought justice for the dead and also saved the face of our country, he has violated the law after all. He is a criminal. From this standpoint, we should not mix these two matters together. I suggest that we arrest him.”
The big shot sitting in the leader’s seat narrowed his eyes.
“I also agree with the arrest. The law is the law, the will of steel. No one has the right to violate it. If we relax this time, more and more people will disregard the law in the future, and the impact will be significant.”
“I also agree. It’s a different matter. Inform the Zero Major Crimes Unit immediately and demand that they continue the manhunt and pursuit of the Death Inquisitor. Also, we have to speed up the arrest.”
“There’s also the public’s mood. In this matter, the Death Inquisitor’s influence is very far-reaching and has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I think that we must guide the public’s consciousness and abide by the law. Only then will we be able to redeem ourselves.”
In the police department, all the big shots expressed their opinions one after another. They all made important speeches and then made their presentations, which were distributed to the different police stations, including the Zero Major Crimes Unit.
When the Zero Major Crimes Unit received the media presented in the meetings, the drunkard only took a glance at it. He quickly lost interest. “It’s all bureaucratic talk. It looks exciting, but in fact, it has nothing to do with anything. It’s just that we have to catch the Death Inquisitor and build up our prestige and image.”
After so many years, he had heard enough.
“Let’s talk about the Halloween missing case. This case was not reported at that time. Four people went missing. It’s a major missing case,” said the drunkard as he sorted out his thoughts.
Anthony frowned and said, “There’s nothing in the case file. How do we investigate it? There’s no clue.”
“Start from the people who accepted this case back then,” Monica interjected. These people came for the Death Inquisitor’s case. Her nerves had always been tense. This time, she changed her direction and just relaxed.
She simply wanted to empty her mind to be able to function better.
Judy was tapping on the computer flexibly. “The police officer who was in charge of this case was Tom. He is now the police chief.”
“I hope he still remembers the situation back then.” Loggins said this to comfort himself.
After so many years, the memory of this incident was definitely not as deep as it used to be. It was another huge challenge.
Ross said, “Everyone, let’s get to work. I’ll communicate with Tom. We must always remember that we’re police officers, not bystanders. This time, we must be in front of the pursuit for the Death Inquisitor.”
“Yes!”
Jack lit a cigarette and immediately saved the video circulated by the police department.
“The law punishes criminals. Everyone is equal before the law. Well said.”
He was going to use this sentence as an opening speech for the next broadcast. It would definitely have a different style.
However, he could not broadcast it live now because he lacked a crucial piece of evidence. When everything was ready, it would be time to broadcast.
At this moment, in a small county town in New York City…
The county public security bureau chief, Tom, saw Jack’s Weibo post immediately. His heart skipped a beat. He thought that after more than 20 years, this matter would be buried forever in the dark underground. He did not expect that it would be dug out and discussed again.
However, he had nothing to be afraid of. When the soldiers came, the general would block them. When the water came, the Earth would cover it.
It was fate. Nothing could be hidden. The only way to solve the problem was to eliminate the source.
Ring, Ring, Ring.
An urgent phone call interrupted his thoughts.
Tom picked up the phone. It was Ross from the Zero Major Crimes Unit.
“Hello, this is Ross. We are investigating a case. I would like to ask if you remember the disappearance case?”
Tom narrowed his eyes. It seemed that they were very quick. Someone followed up the Death Inquisitor’s Weibo post.
It seemed that they were anxious and wanted to make a comeback before the Inquisitor made another move.
“Officer Luo, you want to ask about the Halloween case, right? I’ve seen the Death Inquisitor’s Weibo post. To be honest, this case has troubled me for more than 20 years. Every night, I think of this case, so it’s clearer. I haven’t given up on the investigation for so many years, but unfortunately, there’s no progress at all,” Tom said.
Ross thought for a while and said, “There is nothing in the case file except the victim’s name and photo. If you have more detailed information, you can send it to me by fax.”
Tom smiled and said, “Okay, no problem. I also want to solve the puzzle in the past. Let me explain what I know about it first. I will send you detailed information later.”
“I remember when I was still a small policeman, I received a report from the crowd saying that someone was missing. We followed the footprints and searched the mountain. It was strange. The sun was shining brightly in the morning. At noon, it suddenly rained continuously until the next morning. Some clues were destroyed in the heavy rain. We chased all the way to a tombstone. The strange thing was that the footprints disappeared when we reached here. We also went to the tomb and did not find anything. The four living people disappeared mysteriously like this. Until now, I still can’t figure out where the four of them went. Moreover, there were no surveillance cameras at that time. In addition, all the clues disappeared during the rain. There were even people on the internet saying that they were captured and sent to the netherworld. Who would believe this?” Tom said.
“I’m a little curious now. This case is so strange. Why is there no news about it at all?”
“Of course it’s suppressed. They went missing so strangely, so they didn’t spread it out in order to avoid causing panic.”
“Now that the Death Inquisitor has his eyes on this case, we still hope that you can recall the clues from the past. This time, we must finish this case before the Death Inquisitor does.” Ross’s tone was a little firm.
“Moreover, the live broadcast of the death will be in two days. We have to speed it up.”
Tom did not think much of it. “I don’t think you need to worry so much. So much time has passed since this case, and many clues have been lost. No matter how powerful the Death Inquisitor is, it’s impossible for him to find any clues in two days.”
‘HMPH, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a human, not a god,’ Tom thought.
Tom’s face was filled with disdain. It had already been more than 20 years, so it would be strange if the Death Judge could find any clues.
“Old Tom, you still don’t understand him. We can’t relax. He said that he would broadcast live in two days. He will definitely broadcast live,” Ross said earnestly.
After hanging up the phone, a strange look flashed across Tom’s eyes.
For more than twenty years, there had been no clues. It was simply impossible for anyone to find anything, no matter how deeply they looked, in two days.
