"Based on our speculation, it may have been a spontaneous murder, scumbags, drunks, gamblers, junkies... anyone could have been the culprit."
"If we were to investigate each one, the difficulty would be enormous."
"And that homeless man happened to be active in the area, and he had no form of social identification."
"In that case, it becomes simple."
"He's someone who doesn't even have proof of existing in society, practically not even a person, so placing the crime on him isn't a big deal."
"Besides, there were nearby residents who disliked him, thought he was an eyesore, and were willing to testify against him."
"With that, everything becomes much easier. We just pinned him as the murderer."
"After all, he's from Meteor City. It's not surprising if someone like that committed such a crime."
"Wrapping up the case quickly lets us show efficiency and gives the public an explanation."
"And it helps us meet our case quotas, why not?"
"He's just a homeless man from Meteor City. If he gets executed, then he gets executed. If he can bring us this much convenience and benefit, then his execution is meaningful."
The more he spoke, the more panic filled his face, completely losing the stern, upright image he had at the beginning.
And not only him, everyone from the courthouse around him was stunned.
Their court president, how did he just reveal all the truth?!!!
When they realized what was happening, their stunned expressions turned into fear, panic, and even despair.
They tried to interrupt and stop their court president from continuing.
But they were blocked by the expressionless Mizaistom Nana.
He had already vented in the hotel earlier; now he could control his emotions and remain calm.
In contrast, the officials of that country looked completely livid.
Seeing the court president speak so recklessly, they suppressed their anger and tried to intervene.
But before they could act, they were stopped by the stationed Hunter Association personnel.
"Please do not interfere with the investigator performing his duties."
The V5 representatives coughed lightly, signaling the local state officials not to act rashly.
Did they not see Luke still holding the credentials for Special Investigator of the International Court?
If they dared interfere, they would at least be charged with obstructing an investigation.
In that case, the V5 embassy representatives would not turn a blind eye.
This was a V5's Special Investigator of the International Court, upholding that authority was their obligation.
Thus, the local officials, faces dark as ink, could only stay still.
They knew that hunting crime required evidence, but counter-terror operations needed only a list.
Even though their country was sizable and somewhat renowned internationally, even though they were strong enough to be described as a powerhouse against the five great nations, they were nothing.
So they could only helplessly watch as the court president, guided by Luke, revealed every last detail of the case.
Including how they discussed, planned, organized, arranged, and executed everything… everything without exception was completely exposed.
Of course, the court president eventually realized something was wrong and tried to shut his mouth.
But with Luke before him, and having finally opened his mouth to spill everything, how could he be allowed to close it?
To be safe, Luke even had him speak out all the falsified evidence they planned to use to frame the homeless man from Meteor City.
This turned the faces of everyone involved in the case pale as death.
If the earlier words could still be dismissed as the court president's nonsense, that he had gone mad, had lost his mind, suffered a breakdown, once the evidence was also revealed, they were essentially nailed to the pillar of guilt.
"You all heard that, right?"
After the man finished in despair, Luke cheerfully looked toward the Hunter Association personnel behind him.
"We heard it!!"
The staff nodded and swiftly began operations with sharp efficiency.
In terms of professionalism, the Hunter Association personnel were top-tier in the world.
As long as the evidence surfaced, even a little, everything became simple.
"Good. In that case, isn't the problem solved?"
Luke casually waved his hand and quietly retrieved the Truth Sticker.
"Next steps shouldn't require me to explain, right?"
Luke smiled lightly and looked toward the V5 ambassador representatives.
He also handed the credentials for the Special Investigator of the International Court to Mizaistom Nana.
"We will, of course, enforce the law impartially and fully cooperate!!"
All V5 representatives wore serious expressions: "We absolutely will not let a single bad person escape."
"And absolutely will not wrongly accuse a single good person!!"
With V5's stance made clear and their participation, things became much simpler.
Not to mention that Mizaistom Nana was also seriously monitoring the entire process.
Thus, this deliberately fabricated wrongful case was overturned.
That homeless man from Meteor City, who had not committed murder at all, finally had his injustice washed clean.
And this country's legal system would usher in a massive restructuring.
According to the words of the country's foreign representative, they would definitely conduct a thorough internal investigation.
They would absolutely give the world, the law, and the victims a satisfactory explanation and response.
And they would absolutely not tolerate such acts that desecrated justice and trampled the law ever happening again!!
The words sounded righteous, solemn, and dignified.
But those who understood, understood; they knew exactly what kind of people they were, and what they would do next.
Luke didn't care at all, nor would he bother arguing with these people.
Anyway, the matter had already blown up and become known by everyone; V5 would naturally handle it.
Even if they didn't handle it… Anyone who dared lay hands on people from Meteor City had their fate already sealed.
Luke had no interest in wasting time on the dead.
On Meteor City's side, after shouting that slogan earlier, they had specialized procedures to deal with such matters.
If the wrongdoing had truly been caused by the homeless man, then they would naturally accept it.
But if it was deliberate framing and persecution… then such a matter was worthy of being properly addressed.
The people of Meteor City were not as easy-going as Luke.
"No wonder you're the Vice-Chairman of the Hunter Association, you truly have such an outstanding ability..."
Seeing that Luke did not intend to pursue the matter too deeply, the V5 representatives and the local national authorities all sighed in relief.
