Chapter 578



.

Nora patted his hand. “You should go back for now. I’ll take care of business here.”

Tanya knew it was useless for her to stay. Instead, Janson and the others could use her to deal with Karl. Therefore, she nodded and left.

Only then did Nora enter the apartment. She didn’t look at what was in the hallway and headed for the interrogation room.

Someone had already called 911. The doctor rushed in and was looking into old Terry’s eyes in the interrogation room. The doctor frowned.

“Well, it’s useless even if we pick him up.”

“Yes, his temple was punctured. He’s probably brain dead by now. There’s no way to save him.”

The special department’s medical examiner also sighed. “I don’t think it’s necessary either.”

At his words, Nora lowered her eyes and said, “They don’t have to worry about him. They just need to take him to the hospital. My medical team will take care of Old Terry’s treatment.”

The doctor was stunned and looked at her in confusion. “You are?”

“I’m Anti.”

Nora showed her ID card. The doctors nodded instantly. “Good.”

They lifted the gurney and placed Old Terry on it. As soon as they left, they were stopped by someone in the hallway.

At that moment, a group of people from the special department were gathered in the lobby. At a glance, there should be more than a hundred people.

At that moment, everyone was in a frenzy. Some were comforting Janson, while others stood behind Captain Johnson, facing Morris.

Janson clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly. “Captain Ford, my father is here while Karl lies in the interrogation room, are you still protecting him, why can’t you give the trial now?”

Captain Johnson also said, “Morris, why the hell are you protecting him? He’s a criminal! A murderer! Are you going to protect him just because he’s close to Nora? Now, all the evidence is here. With all the evidence, why don’t you convict him immediately?”

Logically, convictions were a matter for the court.

However, this department was relatively special. Because of the complexity of the cases they investigated, the special department was independent of all departments.

Therefore, the special department was fully qualified to try Karl.

Janson pointed at Karl and shouted angrily, “Captain Ford, my father has been a policeman all his life and has never done anything to let the people down! He has over twenty wounds on his body, all scars from being wounded during missions. Now, they hurt every time it rains! But still, he has never bothered the country? Why should a person like him accept such an outcome! I want Karl Moore to be sentenced to death! He has deliberately killed someone! I want to execute him with my own hands!”

Janson was agitated.

Even if Nora said she could treat Old Terry, he had little hope. His temple was pierced, so how could he still be alive? Captain Johnson sighed beside him. “Janson, don’t get agitated. Morris will definitely give you all an explanation.”

Janson wiped away his tears and looked at Morris fiercely.

Morris pursed his lips and said slowly, “We still have to investigate this matter…”

“What else is there to investigate!” Captain Johnson could take no more. He glared at Morris angrily. “Or do you believe this murderer and you want to investigate me! I have been Old Terry’s partner for over twenty years. We’re brothers. Don’t you believe me?!”

No sooner had he said this than Janson suddenly raised his head and looked at Morris. “Captain Ford, my father and Captain Johnson are good brothers. I trust Captain Johnson. Besides, the evidence is conclusive. What more is there to investigate? Are you planning to suspend your trial because you released the hostage and turned yourself in? I disagree! I will never forgive a murderer!”

With that, he looked around. “Brothers, help me! I just want to get justice for my father.”

Everyone in the special department was brave. Many of their comrades had died during missions.

Regarding Janson’s encounter, they were very worried. From their point of view, Captain Johnson and Old Terry were brothers. Besides, with the evidence available, how could they still suspect Captain Johnson?

Therefore, they all said:

“Captain Ford, you have to give an explanation for this!”

“Yes, he killed a hero – Old Terry is an existence we all respect!”

“Captain Ford, you can’t shield the killer!”

At this moment, the special department people stood behind Janson and Captain Johnson.

Johnson narrowed his eyes. Previously, he had used many methods, but the special department people did not side with him. But now, with the death of Old Terry, many people had sided with him.

Perhaps it was because humans innately sympathized with the weak.

Morris stared at those people, with lingering, cold eyes. Nevertheless, he stepped in front of Karl, facing his colleague.

He said slowly, “Not that I’m protecting the killer, but this case can’t be closed yet. We can’t let any suspect go free, but we can’t smear any innocent person either.”

Janson’s eyes were red as he stared at him. After a moment, he grimaced. “All right, all right! I understand.”

He wiped away tears.

Captain Johnson looked furious as well. “Morris, what the hell do you mean? If you suspect me, just arrest me! What are we looking for in this line of work? The assassin is right behind you. You don’t care about him and you want to point the gun at your comrade?”

Captain Johnson was clearly stirring everyone’s emotions.

They all looked at Morris.

Morris took a deep breath.

Captain Johnson had orchestrated the situation very carefully. He left no evidence behind. The only way to turn the case around was with Old Terry.

Morris said, “When Old Terry wakes up, we’ll ask him before we convict Karl!”.

Captain Johnson scoffed. “With one sentence from Nora, are you sure Old Terry can wake up? Morris, his temple has been pierced, how could he come back to life? If Old Terry doesn’t wake up, won’t you judge Karl? If he remains in a vegetative state all his life, will Karl wait for him forever?”

Morris was speechless.

Nora came out hearing all the commotion. She narrowed her eyes and said suddenly, “They won’t wait forever. Give me three days. I’ll wake up Old Terry.”
