Chapter 589



Karl’s case had already been reported to the organization. Many people knew about this affair, and it attracted widespread attention. Of course, this was still the work of Capt.

Morris was powerful and had accumulated many connections over the years. After the incident, many people spoke up for him and put pressure on the inspection unit. The inspection unit had originally planned to let Morris be released early, but with the death of Old Terry along with Captain Johnson’s actions, it was not appropriate to let him go. After all, if they were to forcibly let him go now, it would probably arouse the crowd’s discontent.

The large conference room of the special department had a capacity of one hundred people. All of the special department’s staff members were present. Morris had broken the law and had helped Nora give Old Terry the gene serum. This matter was to be tried today. After all, Morris’s actions at that time were to save people, so the inspection unit did not know how to punish him.

At this time, the meeting room was completely full.

Most of the people inside were divided into two parts.

One part of them were Morris’s loyal supporters. They had worked with him for many years and believed in him. They were even saying, “Captain Ford is also doing this to save people! If lives are in danger, wouldn’t we prioritize saving people over breaking some rules?”

The other group was led by Mark.

Janson was heartbroken and depressed, but Mark was indignant and responded, “Then why didn’t you convict Karl even after all this time? You wouldn’t even let me question him! There must be something wrong.”

“That’s right. Don’t we know what gene serums are? They’re harmful! They’re poisonous! This is what we’ve been fighting against. Over the years, how many colleagues have been sacrificed to fight against this mysterious organization that makes this genetic serum? In the end, they want to use this stuff on one of our own? How ridiculous!”

Morris’ supporter said, “But Captain Ford did it to save people!”

“But old Terry is dead! He didn’t save himself! The facts have proven that we were right! Captain Ford is too extreme – the special department has even become his one-man saloon! Besides, why is the trial against Karl Moore delayed? It is clear that we have all the evidence.”

As the crowd was arguing heatedly, the door to the meeting room was pushed open. Then, accompanied by a member of the inspection unit staff, Morris entered the meeting room.

The moment he entered, the entire conference room fell instantly silent.

Everyone looked at him.

Because he had been in custody for two days, Morris had grown a black beard on his chin. At this point, he looked more like a mature man.

His eagle-like gaze swept over everyone present, causing them to shut their mouths.

Morris and some people from the Ministry of Supervision sat on the stage and looked down. One of them began to speak, “All right, now the special department is divided into two factions regarding the Morris situation. One half thinks Captain Ford has been negligent in his work. As long as he apologizes to Janson, this matter is over. The other half thinks that Captain Ford has recklessly used illegal drugs from the special department and has seriously violated the law. He should be removed from his post pending further investigation. Now, we want to ask the public’s opinion!”

As soon as he said this, the two parties started arguing again.

His words were the same as before.

Seeing the heated discussion, Captain Johnson suddenly said, “I am going to say something. Everyone listen to me, please.”

He sighed and said, “I was the one who brought Morris into this line of work. Now that I’m going to judge him, I really can’t stand it. But I can’t do anything about it. He’s done the wrong thing and made the wrong decisions. If in the future someone gets hurt and he says that the gene serum can be used to save lives, is he going to jump the law and use it again? We have to firmly put an end to these things! Therefore, in this situation, I suggest reducing the punishment for Morris. A dismissal is too severe. We should let him work again from the bottom and punish him with three months pay cut as a token of service. I wonder if anyone has any objections.”

This kind of neutralized opinion instantly shook people at the bottom.

Those who originally thought Morris should be punished, but still had some feelings for him and couldn’t bear to take him out of the special department, nodded immediately.

Those who originally sided with Morris also felt that this plan was reasonable….

For a moment, this proposal by Captain Johnson received majority agreement!

Mark also stood up. “To tell you the truth, Captain Ford has worked hard and given meritorious service all these years. I think it is too great a punishment for him to be dismissed. Nor can I bear to see Captain Morris go. I think what Captain Johnson has said can be done. If he starts again from the bottom, I think Captain Ford can count on his contributions to get back to this post quickly!”

They all nodded. “Yes.”

When Captain Johnson heard this, he was very pleased.

He was doing this on purpose!

Morris had too many connections and too deep a background. He could not slap Morris to death. He could only step back and let him resign. Then, the position of Chief of the Special Cases Department would be his now!

This was his goal.

Seeing that everyone below was in agreement, the people in the inspection unit looked at Morris. “Captain Ford, do you have any objections to this punishment?”

With that, they all looked at Morris.

Morris looked down. After a moment, he looked up and slowly said, “Yes.”

Everyone fell silent again.

Captain Johnson frowned. “Morris, this punishment is already too light. You knew the rules and you broke them, so you have to pay the price. You can’t forgive people when they’ve done something wrong.”

“You’re right.”

Morris laughed coldly and stood up suddenly. “It’s very hard to cover up the facts when you’ve done something wrong. What about a murderer? Compared to my mistake, isn’t yours more serious?”

These words made Captain Johnson’s pupils shrink. He sneered and said, “Morris, Karl keeps saying I killed Old Terry, but do you really trust him over me? He’s really let me down, do you have any proof to say I killed anyone?”

“Of course.”

Morris said slowly, “Not only do I have proof, but I have a witness!”

With that, he looked at the door. It was clear that he was here to stand trial, but he turned the tables on him and said, “Come in.”

Accompanying this sentence, Nora entered lazily and yawning, pushing a wheelchair.

Her face was full of impatience, as if she hadn’t had enough sleep. Her expression was not very good.

However, no one noticed that at the time. Everyone’s attention was on the person in the wheelchair.

It was Old Terry .
