Chapter 16: Countdown to Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lott’s expression came and went quickly.

Agent Carly and the other agent were stunned by Lott’s imposing manner.

The other agent was not as shocked as Carly because of unknown reasons.

He reacted quickly.

He was keenly aware of the other party’s reaction.

“Ian and Ica had an accident. Are you happy?”

Lott’s dangerous gaze immediately turned toward the young police officer.

“Happy?”

Lott paused.


“Did you know that we have a forum?

“After the accident, the entire forum was very happy!

“Isn’t it worth being happy that such a sc*m had an accident?”

Lott looked at the young police officer opposite him and asked in return.

The police officer immediately choked back.

Carly saw that the situation was not good.

She immediately changed the question.

“November 19th, at three o’clock in the afternoon, at the intersection where Ian’s accident happened. Why did you appear at the scene?”

Agent Carly quickly asked her question.

Her tone was hurried. She did not want to give the other party time to react.

“I happened to pass by there.”

Lott answered calmly.

“Why did you just happen to appear at the scene of the incident?”

Carly was still chasing after him, unwilling to give up on this question.

“Madam, are you saying that I knew that the other party would appear at this intersection as soon as I got out of prison?”

Lott sat down again, frowning. He thought that the other party had asked a very low-level question.

“Just today, we found that you appeared near the Chicago Corporation building.

“How do you explain that?”

After saying that, Carly showed a photo taken by a camera from the document report.

It clearly showed that Lott was near the Chicago Corporation building, observing the surroundings.

“Five years ago, I was wronged here. Five years later, I came here to take a look. Is it difficult to understand?”

Lott answered expressionlessly.

“Don’t tell me that just these alone can make me a criminal?”

Lott’s expression was a little strange as he let out a meaningful laugh.

“You’re even more unreasonable than you were five years ago.”

His gaze passed through Carly and directly looked at the mirror.

It was as if he could see through it to see that someone was there.

Agent Carly was suddenly at a loss for words.

He knew about the incident from five years ago.

The case that was already full of suspicion had been carelessly closed.

This caused her to slow down.

Suddenly, Lott pounded the table in a frenzy.

His eyes were filled with pain.

“When my fiancée was knocked into a vegetative state, did you interrogate Ian like this?!

“When I was framed five years ago and locked up here to force me to confess, did you detain Ica like this?!

“I’m just an ordinary person, a law-abiding citizen, and I was treated like this!”

Lott’s fists slammed onto the table and his voice was trembling.

“Is there justice in this society? Or is justice only in your mouths?”

Lott covered his face in pain as if he had sunk into a great sorrow.

This wonderful performance made Carly and himself fall into silence at the same time.

Outside the interrogation room, in the surveillance room.

Facing Lott’s questioning, all the criminal investigation experts looked a little embarrassed.

This was because what Lott had said was right.

These two accidents had been analyzed by countless people in the police station.

Regardless of all aspects, these were accidents.

The cause of the accident was due to some unforeseen circumstances.

They had no way to deal with Lott now.

At this time, the difficult problem was thrown to these criminal investigation experts.

Whether had they analyzed anything?

In the expert group, many senior criminal investigation experts were discussing in low voices.

They occasionally glanced at the now silent Lott.

His wonderful performance had deceived everyone.

Many people came to the same conclusion in their minds.

“Accident, these two incidents are really just accidents.”

No one defined this as man-made.

Unless there were someone in this world who could calculate all kinds of accidents through a series of chain reactions.

Thus achieving the effect of “accidental killing”.

It was impossible!

At least in the understanding of this group of criminal investigation experts, such a person did not exist in this world.

“Perhaps, these two accidents are just coincidences.”

The criminal investigation experts had all made a judgment.

“Then, let him go. We won’t be able to get anything else out of him.”

The old criminal investigation expert was the first to speak.

This young man was unbelievably calm. He would not be angered by them at all.

It was all an act.

However, they had no evidence.

Howard’s pencil?

How could that be called evidence?

James naturally knew this principle.

He walked around the experts and reminded them softly.

“Then, how will we explain it to the people from the Ian Family?”

“This…”

Many criminal investigation experts had initially acted out of respect for the Ian Family.

However, as they continued to understand the case more thoroughly, they realized that there were no traces of any man-made actions.

This made things difficult for them.

There had to be an explanation for everything.

If they came to the same conclusion as the police, the Ian Family would definitely not be satisfied.

As soon as he finished speaking, many criminal investigation experts looked at the person-in-charge, James.

Sensing their gazes, James naturally knew what they wanted to ask.

His tone was hoarse as he said in a deep voice, “If we can’t handle this matter, they’ll handle it when the time comes.”

When they heard this, many experts revealed shocked expressions on their faces.

One had to know that the Ian Family was a ruthless character who once dominated an area in Chicago.

If the police department did not give them a satisfactory answer, then they would use the most primitive method to resolve it.

“Kill a thousand wrongfully but don’t let anyone escape.”

Everyone looked at the interrogation room with pity.

The silent youth.

This time…

Even if they thought he was innocent…

It would be useless.

The pursuit of the Ian Family would put his life in the countdown of death.

James did not look too good either.

Once Chicago was in chaos, they were the first agents to be affected.

Once order was broken, it would take twice as much effort to rebuild it.

He had been wondering, why was no one able to stop them?


Why the director did not know who would suffer the most if something like this happened?

Everyone gathered and chatted for a while.

They got up and prepared to leave.

After all, one was destined to die and the other was destined to be busy.

There was no point for them to stay here.

Carly also asked James for her next move.

Should they let Lott go?

The reply was to detain him temporarily.

After all, the outside was probably full of members of the Ian Family.

To let Lott out now would be to let him die.
