Chapter 464: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada_1
“Impossible!”
Coby Marsh frowned and said, “Officer, I saw it with my own eyes. He must have hidden the murder weapon by now. Such a sly fox would definitely guess that I would call the police.”
He firmly believed that this kind of thinking was sothing anyone could co up with.
Who would be foolish enough to still wear the dart on their body after throwing it?
And the police officer beside him seed to realize this as well.
“First, detain the suspect. You few co with to check the surveillance video!”
He glanced at the surrounding caras. If Julius Reed did throw the dart, the surveillance video would have captured it!
As long as they saw the video, the truth would be clear.
After speaking, he led his n towards the control room on the third floor.
Everyone at the scene was pointing at Julius Reed, and the air was filled with silence.
“You little bastard! You dare to hit , just you wait! When the officers co down later, you’ll be ready to rot in jail! But don’t worry, I’ll take care of your wife and family for you!” Coby Marsh sneered lewdly, but rembering that Bran Cook was fond of Quella Radcliffe, he imdiately suppressed his smile.
He couldn’t offend his future son-in-law.
Now that he was helping Bran Cook to bring down Julius Reed, he was already doing him a huge favor.
If Bran Cook knew what was good for him, he would definitely marry his daughter.
By that ti, he would be the father-in-law of the chairman of a business alliance, and his status in Gonzalez City would soar in an instant!
“Well done! As they say, ‘Heaven sees what we do!’ Julius Reed, you’re arrogant and have committed many cris against heaven and reason! Today, even the heavens can’t stand it and have decided to make you repent!”
Bran Cook felt even more gratified.
The surveillance at Five-state International was extrely state-of-the-art, all using the latest imported equipnt.
As long as the officers saw the video upstairs, Julius Reed wouldn’t be able to escape!
Actually, Bran Cook would rather that Julius Reed tried to run away, so he could be shot on the spot!
That would make him happier than Reed rotting in prison.
Because if such a man didn’t die, he would never feel at ease in his heart!
Ever since the two of them t, Julius Reed had beco a nightmare in Bran Cook’s mind!
As long as he was alive, Bran Cook would wake up from his dreams in fear!
In more than twenty years, the few humiliations he could count on his fingers were all brought upon him by Julius Reed.
Every encounter with him left Bran Cook with lingering shadows.
“I am actually a good person. You insult like this at your own peril.”
Julius Reed snorted lightly, his face showing not the slightest sign of tension,
He didn’t seem at all like soone who had committed a cri.
Facing so many police officers, how could he be so unafraid?
Coby Marsh even wondered if he had been seeing things,
But the bullet hole at his feet constantly reminded him that the man across from him really had a gun!
The scuff marks on his shoes also told him that the man across from him was finished!
“Julius Reed, I’ll see how long you can keep your tough act up!”
Coby Marsh snorted coldly, shaking off his previous dejection,
If he could get this bastard locked up in prison, then taking this punch would have been worth it!
“Sorry, but I am innocent.”
Julius Reed shrugged his shoulders, looking quite helpless.
Soon, the officers ca down from upstairs with their n, looking quite unhappy,
“Officer, can we arrest him now?”
Coby Marsh asked excitedly.
He had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.
“The surveillance is broken!”
The officer walked in front of the crowd and sighed, “Do we have any other evidence? Otherwise, due to insufficient evidence, we’ll have to release him without charges.”
“This cannot be! How can the surveillance be broken? Absolutely impossible!”
Coby Marsh shouted excitedly,
How could the newly installed surveillance at the Five-state International building be broken?
It had to be Julius Reed’s doing!
“What are you implying?”
The officer looked at Coby Marsh with a cold glare and asked in a stern voice, “Are you suggesting that I’m covering sothing up?”
When he arrived on the third floor with his team, he found the surveillance room pitch-black and devoid of people!
It was only after a call to Itai Huntington that he learned the Five-state International building was not yet open to the public, so many of the facilities were not in use.
In other words, the surveillance was temporarily non-operational.
Unable to obtain evidence, he was already very annoyed.
And now, at a ti like this, Coby Marsh had the gall to ask such a question!
It was bound to make him angry!
“Who made the call to report this?”
The officer asked harshly.
“I…”
Bran Cook felt a chill in his heart, sensing an ominous premonition.
Every ti he tried to oppose Julius Reed, he was the one who ended up getting hurt.
“Officer! I suspect that this person has a hidden weapon case on him, and he might be trying to falsely accuse !”
After Julius Reed said this, he quickly moved behind Coby Marsh.
“What are you doing!”
The police officers shouted in unison, as their gun barrels once again pointed toward Julius Reed.
“I’ve already been searched, and without any evidence, there’s no need for you to be pointing guns at !”
Julius Reed stared coldly at the officer.
There was not a hint of fear in his eyes.
Even though, right in front of him, were the dark muzzles of the guns.
“Put it down!”
The commanding officer exchanged a glance with him, took a deep breath, and waved his hand.
Even precise instrunts had been used and had completely proven Julius Reed didn’t have a hidden weapon case; to continue like this would be against the rules.
Now, Julius Reed was just an ordinary citizen.
They were sowhat jumpy, seeing threats everywhere.
“Officer, since soone has reported , am I not entitled to report Coby Marsh, Boss Marsh, for also having an illegal hidden weapon case?”
Julius Reed looked toward the officer.
“What do you take us for! Are we a joke to you! Let tell you the truth, there are consequences for making a false report!”
The officer roared angrily, his heart already ignited with flas of rage.
“Fine! I’m willing to face the consequences, so please search Boss Marsh! If he doesn’t have a hidden weapon case, I’ll take whatever consequences co!”
Julius Reed said, his face stern.
“Ha! Julius Reed, you really have a death wish! I thought you had escaped, and it was unsettling ! And now, you’re actually picking a fight?” Coby Marsh’s eyebrows raised in delight.
But just for making a false report, they could detain Julius Reed!
Although it was not as satisfying as he had hoped, as long as he could get this youngster in, he was pleased.
“Julius Reed, I have never seen anyone as eager to die as you!”
Bran Cook also secretly felt relieved on the side.
Indeed, to avoid trouble one must not court it.
At the very least, being accused of making a false report could get one detained for a few days.
“Search!”
The officer waved his hand, ready to take Julius Reed into custody!
“Heh, wait for your doom!”
Coby Marsh cooperated very well, raising his hands, his gaze at Julius Reed full of provocation.
“Report to the commanding officer, there is a hidden weapon case!”
The police officer suddenly halted his movents.
“On guard!”
Following a shout, the guns instantly pointed at Coby Marsh!
“Officer, I…”
Before Coby Marsh could explain, he was knocked to the ground by the police officer behind him, and handcuffs were promptly slapped on!
