Puppeteer: I Use Human Puppets to Create Perfect Accidents - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: The Visit Of A Great Man, Johnson’s Shocking Background!

Mr. Smith, the leader of Gotham City’s famous plutocracy.

He was an affluent man and his power was monstrous.

Not to mention, he was also a great, notorious philanthropist.

Countless press were vying to report about him, and all the press reports wrote nothing but words of praise about him.

His reputation in Gotham City could be said to be excellent, and he had a very positive reputation.

Mrs. Smith was also very unusual. It could even be said that she was not inferior to her husband, Mr. Smith.

She was a member of the Legislative Council, holding the power of the judiciary.

It was not an exaggeration to say that, one word from her, and the Chief could immediately lose his job!

This couple was not only involved in the business world, but also in the political world!

Their capabilities and their abilities were outstanding, and they also had a lot of connections and resources.

He had all kinds of friends in various industries, and their status was all very high.

Thus, the Smiths were known as an elite couple!

They were very influential in the entire Gotham City. It could be said that the entire city shook if they stomped their feet!

Compared to them, Rodriguez was way more inferior to them!

For such a big shot, it was understandable that the Chief was so respectful and even trembled a little in fear.

“Why did I come here?”

Hearing the Chief’s question, Smith laughed, but coldly. “You arrested my son and asked me why I came here? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

“What?”

The Chief’s face turned pale and hurriedly asked, “May I know who’s your son, Mr. Smith? Could you tell us? There’s definitely a misunderstanding. Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”

“Okay.”

Smith was very satisfied with the Chief’s attitude.

Seeing this, the Chief heaved out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

However, the Chief and Alice, who were standing beside him, were completely dumbfounded when words came out from Mr. Smith’s mouth.

They heard him say, “My son is Johnson. I heard that he was captured by you.”

“What?”

The Chief’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He had never expected that Mr. Smith’s son was actually that murderous monster!

This time, he held his breath, and nearly fainted on the spot.

He was speechless and could not speak.

He did not know what to say either!

Could he tell Mr. Smith that he was planning to send his son to prison, hoping that his son would quickly be shot to death?

If he said that, he would probably be fired tomorrow!

Meanwhile, Alice was also frowning.

She never flattered her boss, nor did she ever pay attention to politics. Instead, she relied on her professional ability to climb to this position.

But she was not stupid.

She was aware that this current situation was difficult to handle.

She had thought that Johnson must have some background. Otherwise, he would not be so arrogant and fearless.

However, Alice did not expect that she had still greatly underestimated Johnson.

He did not only have a background, his background was simply heaven-defying.

This was difficult to deal with!

Looking at the ugly expressions of the two people, Smith snorted and chided, “How do the police handle cases? I know my own son. He has always been law-abiding, kind, and merciful. How could he become a murderer who harms women? This is simply nonsense!”

“You made me skip an important meeting just to come here. You have to be responsible, do you understand?”

“You have to give me an explanation for this matter. How can you convict someone without investigating clearly? Is this society still ruled by law?”

Smith’s voice went higher and higher as he spoke, as if his son really had been wronged and he was standing up for his son.

“Hurry up and release him. I don’t have time to waste here!”

Beside him, Mrs. Smith also shrieked, “Is this how the police handle cases? I can’t believe it! This is how our police department enforces the law? It’s rotten and muddle-headed. It looks like I should suggest to the Legislative Council that we should properly clean up our law enforcement agencies. This is really disappointing.”

The pressure brought by their words was like a mountain that almost toppled over on the Chief on the spot.

At this moment, his head was drenched in sweat, and his waist was bent low, so low that his head was almost touching the ground.

He looked so petty!

He kept smiling apologetically to the couple and nodded.

And at this moment, Alice suddenly stood up. She looked straight at the Smiths without any fear and said with an unusually firm tone, “Dear Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, your son Johnson is not as obedient and sensible as the two of you say. In fact, he is a complete scumbag. He’s a beast! He brutally murdered two women. What he did was the wrath of God and man. God will not tolerate it!”

“Moreover, we are not maligning your son. Instead, we have solid evidence to prove it. The evidence that we collected can clear any of your doubts. Therefore, the two of you, you cannot take Johnson away. He is destined to spend the rest of his life in prison. This will not change even if it’s your noble status. Otherwise, where is justice in this world?”

Although she said that, Alice still had some doubts in her.

She remembered that she had once followed a news story, and it was about the Smiths’ son.

It seemed that he had committed a crime and had been sent to prison after being arrested.

However, she clearly remembered that his name was not Johnson!

Moreover, the two had no other but only one son.

So, what was going on?

However, despite her doubts, this was not the time to dwell on this matter. Alice did not pay too much attention to it and thought that she should go back and investigate first.

At this moment, after hearing Alice’s powerful and righteous words, the Smiths were staggered. Apparently, they did not expect that a small police officer would dare to refute them in such a manner.

This time, their expressions instantly became ugly. Their faces were dark and gloomy.

Soon, Mrs. Smith’s eyes were flooded with anger. She opened her mouth and shouted, “What did you say? You are saying that we are protecting our son? You, you’re merely a small police officer! How dare you talk to me like this? Do you still want your job?”

She wanted to continue but, at this very moment, Mr. Smith signaled her to stop.

Then, he turned around and narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have deep meaning as he said, “I hope you know that I, Smith, only have one son. I care about this son very much. And I’d love to make new friends. If you help me, then you’re my friend. You must know that I will never treat my friends unfairly.”
