Livestream: The Adjudicator of Death

Chapter 10 - Task Force Zero

As soon as Jack opened his mouth, the reporters gathered around him like sharks that had smelled blood.

Jack immediately retreated from the crowd. He was the one who had said those words in a hushed voice.

The power of the media was terrifying. Just like those in Jack’s original world, the media was the vanguard of law enforcement. Many cases were investigated and dealt with fairly only after the media had exposed them.

In this parallel world, under the premise that the degree of freedom was higher, the media were even more unscrupulous.

Soon, the news about the live broadcast of Bowen’s death came out again.

—

“Exclusive Report: The Police Were Fooled by the Death Inquisitor!”

“The Death Inquisitor Let Everyone Fall Into His Trap! the Main Door Was Not Locked at All!”

“Fooled the Police! the Death Inquisitor Did Not Lock the Main Door at All!”

“According To Medical Experts, It Is Impossible To Determine the Exact Time Left Until Total Muscle Dissolution. The Countdown Is a Psychological Misdirection!”

“The Death Inquisitor Has a Technique That Fooled Everyone!”

Although most of the news was simply written by a relatively irrelevant editor who had no proof to support his claims, the news still caused a huge frenzy and put immense pressure on the police. A large number of reporters swarmed towards the city. The entire New York police station was like a bar. It was chaotic.

It had to be said that these reporters were very good at fabricating fake news. Jack himself would have believed it if he had nothing to do with it.

Regardless of whether the news was true or not, the moment it was released, the public went mad.

“These police officers are really stupid. They were deceived by a criminal!”

“The death judge is not a criminal. He is the one who is trying a criminal!”

“What a genius! He deceived Bowen, the police, and all of us!”

“Not only is he a genius, but he is also extremely confident! He really left the door unlocked and no one noticed!”

“No one paid attention to the police who protected our safety. Why are they so incompetent?”

“The taxes paid by the citizens every year are spent on a bunch of worms!”

Chief Superintendent Terrence stood in front of the window and pulled down the blinds with his fingers. Through the gaps, he looked at the reporters gathered downstairs with a solemn expression.

“Other than the Death Inquisitor and the internal members of our police department, no one else knows about this. Unless the Death Inquisitor or someone from our internal department went to the media and told them about what really happened, we can’t really stop the media. Who knows if the Death Inquisitor is even one of our internal members!” Chief Ross voiced his thoughts.

Terrence frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “There’s no need to rush. We can’t come up with conclusions that easily. At first, we thought that he didn’t say anything because he wanted to save us from embarrassment. It didn’t seem like he had provoked us. But now it seems like he did it on purpose, as though he intentionally let this matter ferment for a while so that we would be even more humiliated. He did it on purpose to mess us up. If that were the case, then this guy is not someone to be trifled with. If he were to announce it, then the police force would be really messed up. If we don’t mention it at all, who knows what could happen next? If it were the Death Inquisitor who intentionally spread the news, he might have an ulterior motive. We can still follow up on the clues. However, we can announce the results of the investigation of Bowen’s crimes. After all, we already have enough evidence. Also, how’s your investigation going?”
