Livestream: The Adjudicator of Death

Chapter 66: Monica Came Again

It was a young couple who came in. They were dressed in very simple clothes. In New York, other than some homeless people, it was rare to see people dressed like that. The woman was holding a child in her arms. The two of them ran to Gardner.

“Doctor, please save my child!”

Gardner looked at their clothes. He had made a preliminary judgment in his heart. Then he asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t cry. Tell me slowly.”

“Look at my child. He seems to be dying.”

The child in the woman’s arms looked to be about one to two months old. He was in a coma, and his entire body was covered in a thick yellow color. He looked like an Oscar statuette.

Gardner took a look and tentatively said, “Judging from his condition, this is jaundice in children, but he still needs to be checked. You two go downstairs and hand in two thousand dollars for a comprehensive check-up first.”

When the husband and wife heard this, they stood there in a daze.

When Gardner saw their reaction, he said, “This illness is grave, and he needs to be hospitalized for blood exchange treatment. The treatment is more troublesome, and the follow-up costs are relatively large. It may reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. You’d better pay more money, but the survival rate of this illness is relatively low, and there may be sequelae. You have to be mentally prepared. But no matter what, I will do my best as a doctor, and as parents, you have to do your best to treat this illness for the sake of your child!”

Gardner’s words startled them. The woman’s tears flowed down, and the man’s expression was a little conflicted. He subconsciously took two steps back. This child was an accident to him.

Gardner glanced at the man and said, “What are you still doing here? Hurry up and pay for the check-up!”

“We don’t have so much money. Let’s not treat this illness for now.” The man lowered his head and pulled the woman away.

“What are you talking about? This child needs to be examined and treated as soon as possible. Contact your family and borrow some money. This is a life we’re talking about. The child is still so young. Don’t be like some parents. Some parents just leave their ill children at the hospital and run away. That’s too irresponsible. You are fortunate to have discovered this disease as early as now. Otherwise, your child wouldn’t be able to recover, and it would be hopeless.”

“Thank you, doctor. We’ll go back and collect the money now. We’ll bring the child here for treatment tomorrow!” The man nodded at Gardner and then pulled the woman out of the department.

As soon as the couple left, Gardner sneered. He lit a cigarette, stood in front of the window, and opened the blinds with his fingers to look down.

Soon, the couple walked out of the building and appeared in Gardner’s field of vision.

Then, they began to argue. Not long after, the man placed the child in the flower bed. The woman could not bear to keep looking back, while the man pulled the woman and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Gardner revealed a sinister smile.

“These two idiots. They don’t know that treating jaundice doesn’t cost much. I didn’t expect to get a decent child so easily. I’m really a genius!”

With that, Gardner took a black bag and went out.

Meanwhile, Jack directly slept until dawn. The days without work were indeed comfortable.

After getting up and washing up, he was about to go downstairs to eat when there was a knock on the door.

“Huh?”

Jack frowned. He didn’t know many people in New York, and even fewer people knew that he lived here, aside from Thompson and Aisha.

But the person who came was Monica from the police station.

“Officer Monica? Why are you here?”

“I just got off work and passed by here. I came to see you. If you have time, I’d like to treat you to lunch to make up for the disturbance we caused you that night,” Monica said with a smile.

How smart was Jack, really? No matter how hard Monica pretended, Jack knew what she was up to. He was sure that Monica came to him for a purpose, but as for what purpose, Jack didn’t know yet. It wouldn’t be bad for him to know more about his opponent, so Jack agreed.

The two went downstairs from the apartment, and Jack said, “Why are you off work in the afternoon? Did you work overtime last night?”

“That’s right. If we can’t catch the Death Inquisitor for a day, we have to be ready to work overtime at any time.”

Jack smiled and said, “Is the Death Inquisitor really that difficult to catch? Although he is indeed very powerful in the live broadcast, you are the police and have so many people, yet you still can’t catch him? Is it because you deliberately didn’t catch him? Why do I feel that the Death Inquisitor is someone from your police station—someone who kills for the government and is not easy to kill!”

Monica laughed a little and said, “What you said is very interesting. Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. The Death Inquisitor is not as simple as you think. But now we are making progress with the investigation. It won’t be long before we arrest the Death Inquisitor.

Jack realized that when Monica said this, the corner of her eyes had already locked onto him. Her action instantly let Jack know her true purpose of coming here.

Jack appeared very relaxed and said, “To be honest, in the hearts of others, besides the senator who is running for president, you police officers are even better at bragging.”

“...”

Monica had been trying to answer a question that she had hypothesized for the past few days. If the Death Inquisitor had come to the New York police station on the night of Hitler and Graham’s death, who could it be?

She had searched through all the people who had been to the police station that night, and she was left with only Jack, which led to today’s visit. In fact, in her heart, she had already ruled out Jack as a suspect. After today’s conversation, in addition to Jack’s performance, she felt that the trip was a waste of time.

Since it was so simple to confirm that Jack was not the Death Inquisitor, Monica was not in the mood to eat.

Just as she was about to think of an excuse to leave, her phone rang. It was Judy.

“I need to take this call.” With that, Monica walked to the side.

“Judy, what’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

“Well, Monica, come with me to the bank and check this bank statement I found.”

“Sure. Where are you? I’ll go there.”

“I’m at the police station.”

After taking the call, Monica apologetically said, “Sorry, there’s another mission at the police station. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Jack nodded and indifferently said, “Okay. You go. The mission is important.”

After Monica left, Jack’s face became much colder. Have they found a bank statement?

Could it be that they wanted to check the flow of gifts and rewards in his live broadcast room?

“It seems that they have indeed made progress. In that case, they will need to use cash exchange cards for the next live broadcast,” Jack muttered with a smile.

Cash exchange cards were also a kind of prop card. After using it, the rewards and gifts in the live broadcast room would not be transferred to the bank card. Instead, they would be directly exchanged into cash and given to Jack.

After lunch, Jack was about to head back when a Rolls-Royce blocked his way.
