Ewan Forrest slowly raised his hand, pointed at Dirk Carter, and said emphatically, "I saw with my own eyes Dirk Carter pouring a pot of boiling water onto the victim's lower body."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The eting room was in an uproar.
Especially Anselm Hall. He had seen Dirk Carter remain calm all along, so he also thought that Dirk Carter must have an ace up his sleeve. Perhaps this Dirk Carter would retract his confession at the last mont, giving Bartel Perry and the others a slap in the face.
But that wasn't the case.
Ewan Forrest actually accused Dirk Carter right in front of the police.
What was going on?
At this mont, his heart was filled with resentnt.
He hated Jaden Lawson's strong and effective counterattack, and he also hated Dirk Carter for being too arrogant, not having sorted things out, yet still being so confident.
"Ladies and gentlen, I believe you've all heard it yourself. In the footage just now, everyone saw that Miss Ewan Forrest entered room 333 with Dirk Carter. As a firsthand witness, I believe her testimony is irrefutable, and this is enough to convict Dirk Carter."
Bartel Perry's face was full of pride.
It was almost overflowing.
As he spoke, he kept glancing at Chadric Gates, the posture of claiming credit was unmistakable.
"Comrade Dirk Carter, you have nothing more to say now, do you?"
Bartel Perry asked provocatively.
Under the gazes of everyone, Dirk Carter slowly stood up.
He asked, "Do you an that just because soone witnessed what happened in the room, whatever that person says can be used as evidence?"
"Naturally, yes."
Bartel Perry replied.
Dirk Carter turned and looked at Chadric Gates, and asked, "Mayor Gates, do you think so too?"
Chadric Gates was taken aback.
Just one step away from success; at this mont, Chadric Gates naturally wouldn't want to undermine Bartel Perry and lightly said, "On-the-spot witness testimonies are indeed conclusive evidence."
"Good! A witness on the scene is indeed conclusive evidence."
Dirk Carter finished speaking.
He pulled a USB drive from his pocket and said, "It's not hard for to plead guilty. I have a video here. Can I play it in front of all the leaders?"
Bartel Perry frowned, puzzled by what Dirk Carter was up to now.
He thought for a mont and asked, "What is this video?"
"Director Perry? What? Afraid to play it?"
Dirk Carter intentionally taunted.
Bartel Perry snorted coldly, thinking that he wanted to see what tricks Dirk Carter could play.
He nodded to his subordinates.
A police officer took the USB drive, inserted it into the computer, clicked the mouse, and suddenly a video of a woman lying on a hospital bed appeared on the big screen.
This woman was none other than Vera Yule.
The video started with Vera Yule weeping, then, amid sobs, she recounted her encounter from a few nights ago.
In the footage.
A voice asked, "Do you know the nas of the people who hurt you?"
A weary-faced Vera Yule said, "I know, one is called Jaden Lawson, he brought in, and another is called Theodore Hughes, seems to be our city's deputy mayor's son-in-law, and there are five others, all of Jaden Lawson's underlings."
The video ended abruptly here.
Bartel Perry was dumbfounded.
Chadric Gates' face also turned very ugly.
"Dirk Carter, what do you an by this?"
Bartel Perry asked.
Dirk Carter smiled calmly and said, "Reporting a cri, if I'm going to be convicted, shouldn't I make so ritorious performance? That way, when it goes to court, I can also strive for leniency."
Bartel Perry listened, his face filled with anger, yet he couldn't act out.
He angrily said, "Get your affairs sorted out first."
He was about to reach for the USB drive.
Yolanda Woods cleared her throat and said, "Director Perry, don't forget, you're a police officer, any behavior involving a cri is within your duty, what? Are you not going to handle it?"
At this question.
Bartel Perry was in a difficult position.
After all, the city's third-in-command isn't soone he can confront as a sub bureau director.
He looked at Chadric Gates hesitantly.
Chadric Gates inwardly cursed "fool."
Then he said, "Since Comrade Dirk Carter is reporting a cri, we naturally have to listen, but it would be foolish to try to convict soone with just a video, wouldn't it?"
Dirk Carter smiled slightly.
He walked to the computer.
Opened another video.
This video was the surveillance footage from the corridor of the Highpine Restaurant at that ti.
In the video.
Jaden Lawson and four subordinates led Vera Yule into a safe room.
Not long after.
Another subordinate brought Theodore Hughes into the private room as well.
Dirk Carter paused the footage and said, "As everyone can see, the video shows that during the cri, the victims Jaden Lawson and Theodore Hughes ntioned were all in the suite."
"What does this prove?"
Bartel Perry asked.
Dirk Carter anticipated his question.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
He said, "Bring the person in."
After about a minute.
Arlo Yarbrough appeared at the door, pushing a wheelchair.
In the wheelchair sat a haggard man.
Dirk Carter pointed at the paused image and said, "This person is Corin Levin, who was in the suite at that ti, and the person in the image is him. I think everyone can see that."
Then.
He looked at Corin Levin and asked, "Corin Levin, tell us, what happened in the suite at that ti?"
Corin Levin, just like Ewan Forrest earlier, seed a bit scared.
He hesitated and said, "At that ti... at that ti Jaden Lawson, President Lawson, ordered... ordered us to gang-rape the victim."
Another uproar ensued.
Dirk Carter continued to ask, "Besides you, who else was there?"
"Theodore... Theodore Hughes, President Hughes, and... also and a few of my brothers."
Corin Levin said.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The whole room fell silent.
Dirk Carter looked at Bartel Perry and said, "Director Perry, you've both seen and heard it, now promptly arrest Jaden Lawson and Theodore Hughes."
With the situation developing as it was.
Anselm Hall saw it clearly now.
He felt a wave of relief and cooperatively said, "Yes, Director Perry, you can arrest them now, gang-rape and intentional harm aren't minor issues, at least a sentence of seven years or more. You have to arrest them quickly, if they run, it would be your dereliction of duty."
Bartel Perry's face turned bright red.
He said angrily, "Just a video and a witness's testimony, we don't even know if it's true, and you want to convict soone? This is nonsense!"
Dirk Carter wanted him to say this very thing.
He smiled and said, "Mayor Gates spoke just now, saying that a witness's testimony on the scene is naturally conclusive evidence, everybody saw that Corin Levin is a witness on the scene, so what he says is naturally conclusive evidence. This logic isn't wrong, is it?"
The two matters were identical in logic.
If Bartel Perry denied Theodore Hughes and Jaden Lawson's cris, then Dirk Carter couldn't be convicted either.
Conversely, if Bartel Perry insisted on convicting Dirk Carter, then Jaden Lawson and Theodore Hughes would also be dood.
