Chapter 146: The Governor Speaks, and the Place of Execution Appears
Outside the courthouse, the protesters who had watched the death broadcast cheered a name on the street.
The Inquisitor!
Had it not been for the Inquisitor’s sudden intervention, they might have watched as Judge Harriman and the five gut-wrenching men left.
All they could do was protest angrily, as Harriman said, in vain.
And now everyone was very satisfied with the results of the death broadcast.
After the broadcast ended, the protesting people did not leave. Instead, they continued to protest. Because although Harriman and the eviscerators were dead, as long as the legal system remained the same, there would be another Harriman and more criminals and countless other victims.
At this moment, the police officers who were maintaining order at the scene were very embarra.s.sed. After all, they might have just sat together and watched the live broadcast with other people’s phones. Now, they were asked to drive the protesters away. They could not do it. Moreover, what happened today had touched them greatly. Most of them had voted when they watched the live broadcast, and they also did not want the gut-digging gang to survive.
At this time, the scene outside the court was filled with angry protesters and police officers who were deliberately slacking off. Many police officers saw that the people who were watching the live broadcast with them were charging at the human wall formed by the police officers and even pretended to be knocked down. They made a gap so that the protesters could directly rush into the court. When the other police officers saw this, they did not go up to the gap but pretended not to see it, and that did not stop the people who rushed into the court gate.
Soon, a large number of protesters rushed into the court and blocked the exit. They smashed Harriman’s desk and his gavel, but they did not hurt anyone.
A police car slowly drove out of the underground garage of the court. Looking at the scene in front of the court, the police officer driving the car lowered the brim of his hat and smiled with satisfaction.
The police car drove into the distance and slowly disappeared at the end of the street.
The protest took place outside the court. It also took place in the office of the governor of California. A large number of people gathered outside the governor’s office, demanding that the government change the laws of the unfair state and establish a supervision system for the court.
The governor sat in his office, lit a cigar, and looked downstairs at the people who were blocked by the National Guard. He frowned, and then, as if he had thought of something, a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He didn’t want to make his position as governor unstable because of this idiot Harriman. When Harriman was alive, he could tolerate Harriman because he still had value to him, but now that Harriman was already a dead man, he was useless. He didn’t want to offend angry voters for a dead man. His position as governor depended on these voters so he could hold on to his influential position.
Thinking of this, the governor no longer hesitated. He stood up and went downstairs to the main door.
When the protesting people saw the governor coming out, they immediately became even angrier. They shouted loudly for the governor to step down.
When the media saw the death broadcast, they naturally smelled the hot news and immediately rushed to the governor’s office.
“Mr. Governor, what did you think of the Death Judge’s death broadcast?”
“This is the first time the Death Inquisitor has sentenced criminals outside of New York. Do you think he will come to California often in the future?”
“Will you order the police to arrest the Death Inquisitor as soon as possible?”
“The people want you to amend the state law and establish a supervision system for the court. What do you think of this?”
The governor looked at the protesting people and the reporters who were questioning him. He was very satisfied with his plan. He looked at them and slowly answered.
“I know that you are all very angry right now. I can understand that because I am as angry as you are. I am very shocked that the San Francisco court still has a sc.u.mbag like Harriman hidden in it. I will consider setting up a monitoring system for the court, but I still need to communicate with the legislative department to give the people an explanation as soon as possible. As for the Death Inquisitor, I don’t know if he often comes to California, but I will urge the police to increase the rate and speed of solving cases so that the Death Inquisitor will not need to come and that the planned arrest of the Death Inquisitor is a.s.sessed. I don’t have any plans for the time being. I think that he is protecting the dignity of the law and the Justice of California. After I took office, the efficiency of the police has greatly increased. It is very likely that they will directly catch the Death Inquisitor. Even if the Death Inquisitor is really caught, I will pardon him!”
“Long live justice!”
Hearing the governor’s pa.s.sionate speech, the protesting citizens and reporters were all stunned. They did not expect the governor to say this.
After a moment of silence, there was a warm cheer.
“All right, I should go back to work. I hope you can have a happy day.”
Seeing this scene, the governor delivered his spiel. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the door. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.
It seemed that his position as governor could be more stable.
As for amending the law? Setting up a supervision system for the court?
Don’t joke around. Those guys in the legislative department were not as easy to fool as these people.
Anyway, everyone would soon forget about this matter.
As long as these words were published by the media and his approval rating increased, it would be fine.
…
Victor looked at the protesting crowd outside and frowned slightly. His mind was in a mess as he muttered to himself, “How did he do it?”
His police car was following behind him. He had only been away for less than two minutes when he arrived at the alley. How did he arrive at the execution site so quickly without being searched by a large number of police officers?
Suddenly, Victor’s eyes widened in disbelief. His face was full of shock.
A bold guess appeared in his heart.
“Go! Take your weapons and follow me!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he opened the car door and got out of the car to walk towards the court gate.
The Los Angeles police behind him had a blank look on their faces. They did not know what had happened. What had happened to the sheriff?
However, they still immediately took their weapons and followed behind Victor towards the court.
Victor and a few police officers squeezed through the crowd that blocked the door and quickly walked to the staff of the court. The staff of the court led him to the information room in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the court.
As soon as he walked out of the stairs, Victor sighed. The others widened their eyes and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
The corridor was covered with radioactive blood, almost covering the entire corridor. The walls, the floor, and the ceiling were all stained with blood. Did some meat fall from the ceiling?
“This is…”
“The Death Inquisitor actually dared to set the place of execution in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the court?!”
“Why didn’t we hear the explosion?!”
Victor shook his head and said lightly, “I don’t know. Contact the San Francisco Police to come and collect evidence.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
What happened here had nothing to do with him. He was just trying to verify his own thoughts.
As for the Inquisitor…
How could he have left so quickly?
