Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!-Chapter 498 - 278: Daily Routine, Choosing a Target to Strike
Chapter 498: Chapter 278: Daily Routine, Choosing a Target to Strike
Outside the interrogation room.
The overworked staff all let out a sigh of relief.
This damned case was finally over.
As for the murderer Maggsi’s motive, they were worldly and didn’t react as strongly as Green did.
On the entire planet, besides dolphins who enjoy stabbing humans and consuming puffer fish toxins, and tigers who occasionally play with their prey, it was humans themselves who, for many incomprehensible reasons, would turn against their own kind. In contrast, most predatory animals hunted merely for survival, not to torment their prey.
These days, Guei, who had been following Glenn, seemed very angry: "Over fifty thousand US Dollars, just for that amount this guy killed eight people, dismembered them alive, and sold the videos?"
To him, over fifty thousand US Dollars wasn’t even a day’s investment income.
He truly couldn’t understand such cruel behavior.
Glenn rolled his eyes: "Guei, even though you’re Team Leader Susan’s relative, I still have to tell you, this society is just that cruel. Some people would stab others over a few cents, some would trade a bag of bread for a life. You’ve just been protected too well by your family, so you can’t see the filth of this world..."
In fact, he was quite annoyed at the beginning with Guei following him around.
He wasn’t a babysitter.
It wasn’t until he and Ivan took Guei to a bar, teaching him how to pick up women, that he, feeling awkward, just splurged money...
In front of Franklin, Guei exuded masculine charm.
And because the other party had a good character and upbringing, the Teddy combo didn’t resist integrating Guei.
However, the guy was still too naïve.
He needed time to be steeped in reality.
Amidst everyone’s indifference, Guei still felt uncomfortable: "Okay, I know there are some problems with my perception, but this is still too insane. I hope this guy gets what he deserves; otherwise, our society will become more chaotic."
Old Hardenn yawned, again throwing cold water on him:
"You’re thinking too beautifully.
Do you know how many police officers are fatally shot by criminals they catch each year in the United States?
On our side, we apprehend people, the courts on the other side collect bail to release them, those without money are asked to take loans. To repay these loans, criminals have to keep their heads down and continue toiling away in illegal businesses to make money, becoming crazier than before, until they die by police gunfire...
It’s a profit chain without capital.
But the risk is borne by innocent civilians and low-level officers.
Some criminals, being extreme in character, get guns after being released and directly attack the officers who arrested them, or take revenge on the citizens who reported them...
I’ve seen and heard of many such tragedies."
Guei found it even harder to accept: "I remember there’s the death penalty in California, and isn’t it that many serious crimes can’t be bailed out?"
"The death penalty doesn’t mean immediate execution. Due to humanitarian reasons, the process of execution is very lengthy. A convict can be waiting anywhere from a decision to execution for upwards of ten years, and anything could stop it at any time.
As for not being able to bail out...
Young man, bail regulations were originally established to serve the wealthy.
If someone doesn’t get bail, it’s simply because the criminal didn’t offer enough money—for enough money, criminals can directly change identities and live freely. As for who died, nobody cares."
Guei thought Old Hardenn was joking: "That can happen?"
Old Hardenn shrugged: "Why not? As long as it’s a profitable business, there will be an industry chain, and there will be people willing to do it. That’s business."

Just then, the door to the interrogation room opened. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Brian, dragging a barely alive criminal Maggsi, threw him to Old Hardenn: "Guys, stop scaring Guei. There’s still justice in the world. Hardenn, contact the police and have them send this guy to the hospital first, then inform the court of the expedited procedure. Tell them this criminal is booked by the Umbrella Company."
"What’s an expedited procedure and booking?"
Guei asked, like a curious baby.
Old Hardenn and the Teddy duo, however, turned their attention to the solid interrogation room door.
The door had just closed, and the people inside could hardly hear any outside noise, while the outside could see inside through the equipment. Was Brian’s hearing that exaggerated?
In the face of the questions from Susan’s nephew, Brian flashed a wide, kind smile: "Expedited procedure means no trial, the sentencing is direct. Booking is when government-cooperative research institutions are lacking research material; some serious criminals won’t be taken to prison, but directly to research institutes. Of course, the institutes pay a sum for this!"
Guei rubbed his forehead: "I’m a bit confused, this doesn’t seem to follow the rules."
"Rules are for people, not for scum."
Green quietly added from behind Brian.
Brian nodded with a smile, agreeing with Green’s words.
He began to brainwash the others:
"This is why I say there still is justice in the world.
Many cases we’ve dealt with before, the criminals didn’t receive what they deserved.
Even if they did, we wouldn’t be able to see it.
But now it’s different.
The Umbrella Company is one I established.
I don’t care about other organizations, but at least my company will maintain humanity’s moral bottom line, uphold justice for the victims, and ensure that those scum receive appropriate punishment. And in the process, they’ll contribute to the advancement of human technology and atone for their sins.
The Umbrella Company is justice itself!"
"The name sounds decent."
"At least now I know the outcome for this bastard, and it feels much more comfortable."
