LIVESTREAM: The Jury of Death
Chapter 5

The front door of the building was not locked at all!

In other words, Bowen and the entire police station were fooled by this judge!

If Bowen pushed the door directly instead of breaking the glass when he first arrived downstairs, then he could easily have survived!

If the police don't break down the side door but try to break down the front door, they can save Bowen!

But none of them did. The judge purposely left such a big hole in the unlocked front door, as if to tease and mock them all!

Such a simple mind trap easily fools everyone. All the strange and abnormal events Bowen faced at the beginning made them unconsciously choose to fully trust the words of the judge.

This is not the most ironic part.

According to the information provided by doctors after the incident, it is impossible to accurately predict how many minutes the victim has until it loses the ability to move. Moreover, when Bowen drank the water, there was no scale to measure how much he drank.

The judge's countdown was intended to psychologically suppress Bowen. If the jury doesn't count down or if Bowen chooses not to listen, then he'll be able to keep moving for a few minutes, and he won't die that fast!

A fake countdown? The main door is unlocked?

The policemen felt humiliated as they contemplated their incompetence. They look very gloomy.

After that, the search for the building was completed. Bowen and Little Bowen's bodies were sent to the forensic department for examination. The water bottle in which Bowen drank, the knife used to cut through Little Bowen's stomach, the iron box, and all other evidence were sealed and taken away for inspection.

Meanwhile, at One Police Plaza, the New York Police Department headquarters, officers were discussing what had happened and how it affected them.

"You guys..."

In the meeting room, Chief Inspector Terrence's expression was extremely ugly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He had been a police officer for many years, but he had never been humiliated like that. He never lost anyone like that.

"What do you want me to say? So many people have been played by criminals! If you are not ashamed of this whole failure, yes me! All over the United States—no, the whole world—now know how stupid we New York police officers are!”

Terrence snorted and continued, “Fortunately, the jury did not mention this during the live broadcast. If he does, we'll be the biggest joke of the century!”

At the mention of this matter, everyone on the scene fell silent and lowered their heads.

At that moment, Chief Theodore stood up and looked at Chief Inspector Terrence.

“Chief, I did not handle this issue properly. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I should have been responsible. I am willing to accept punishment!”

Someone stood up and spoke. “Theodore's head cannot be entirely blamed for this problem. It happened too suddenly and in a limited time. We could easily fall into the killer's trap. Moreover, we can see that this so-called judge has a very high IQ. He deliberately left the front door unlocked. He's very confident. Not only is he an expert in psychology, he also has very high anti-detection capabilities. There were no clues left at the scene. Even live broadcast sound is handled specifically. I'm suggesting that you hand the case over to the Bureau of Special Operations. The bureau was more experienced in dealing with crimes that were so complicated.”

The person who said this was the director of the New York Police Department's Special Operations Bureau, Anthony. His work ethic was similar to Theodore's. The 77th New York Bureau of Special Operations and Police Station have been at war for years, and this time is no exception.

When Theodore heard the words of his mortal enemy, an unsightly expression swept across his face, and he said, “I myself messed up this matter. I'll make up for it myself, and I'll catch the killer!”

Chief Inspector Terrence glanced at Theodore. "alright. From today onwards, the New York Police Department will form a special task force. You will be a team leader. I'll transfer the elites of each bureau to you. No matter who the killer is, you must catch him within seven days!”

"Yes sir!"

"Chairman, we—"

Anthony still won't give up. He wanted to continue fighting, but Terrence sighed and walked out of the meeting room without looking back.

"Go immediately and go to the art museum in Queens!"

"Yes sir!"

By the time Anthony arrived with his men at the art museum in Queens, the museum had already been swarmed by people. Some people sit at the entrance of the museum. They cried very sadly, attracting a lot of spectators.

Someone sighed loudly and said, “This family has been looking for the child for several years. They thought the boy ran away from home, but he was buried in a museum not far from there

Another person said, “The killer hasn't been caught for years. This police officer is really wasting our taxpayer money!”

“And that homeless man boiled alive? I've seen him in the square before. He's so pathetic!”

“I really don't know what kind of person would commit such a cruel act. If it wasn't for the judge, let alone us, not even the police would have known about this!”

“We cannot be sure if they really do not know. They may have been bribed! Think about how many crimes Bowen has committed. How could they not have a clue? Think about how much money he has. He could have easily bribed the police, right?”

"I think so too. Tonight, that Bowen looks so stupid. He doesn't look like someone who would commit a crime without leaving a trace!”

“Fortunately, Bowen has been tortured to death. Otherwise, these people who died — their families would never know the truth! By the way, we should thank that judge!”

"Yes! He is a hero who walks in darkness! True hero!”

Anthony listened to the discussions of the people around him. He had not expected an assassin with ruthless methods to suddenly become a hero. He has the support of so many fans and the public.

New York police are being interrogated like this.

If that was the case, it would be more difficult to resolve the case.

Anthony himself had doubts. Did Bowen really bribe people in the police force? Or are the police so stupid that they don't find a clue?

"Theodore, in seven days, if you can't solve the case, I'll propose" Anthony said in a low voice.

After learning the clues, Anthony leads police officers around the museum and uses a shovel to turn the place upside down.

After finding the bones of the victim, the grieving family ran to hold the bones. But because the bones needed to be handed over to the lab for forensic examination, Anthony went to great lengths to calm the family down and explain the circumstances to them.

Throughout the night, all NYPD officers searched the bodies of the victims.

After the investigation, the four cases were all as the judge had said. Those are all crimes committed by Bowen. The nature of the crime is very bad, but the NYPD did not announce the results of its investigation so as not to cause a greater negative impact.

The next day, Jack checked his phone as soon as he woke up. He had received over a dozen push messages. They're all about the live broadcast of the trial.

He's hot again.
