In the following days, the Guan Empire and the police released public statements one after another.
The police clarified to the public some details about the fire incident in XX police station. It became known that it was the place where the former chairman of the Guan Empire was being held. The burned body that was found in the underground prison was the suspect himself, thus, the trial was cancelled.
No one could press charges on a deceased suspect. The indictment had no further effect. Therefore, the trial could no longer be pursued.
The public was dumbfounded.
The suspect died just before the trial?
This was nonsense!
Too suspicious!
A lot of people did not believe it and suspected that it was all a farce made by the Guan Empire. Many speculations stated that perhaps the former chairman was still alive and was just hidden somewhere by the Guan family, waiting for this chaotic time to pass and live a comfortable life abroad.
