Chapter 45: Things Exposed

Hearing Robert's question, Barry's eyes flashed with panic, and his mind was clouded.

"I went to the morning and thought I was doing something seamlessly, and this slap in the face came too quickly."

"Where was I found, I don't feel like there's anything exposed, even the basilisk corpse has been turned into equipment, and the evidence is gone."

Seeing Barry pondering in front of him, without immediately answering his own words, Robert did not rush, and waited with his hands propped on the table.

At this point, Barry was thinking about how to deal with it, imagining the trouble that might come with admitting or denying it.

"If I admit it, I don't know what Robert will do to me, it's a mixed blessing."

"He might wonder how I killed the basilisk and what I gained from it."

"But it's also possible that I think I'm a talent, and now I'm able to kill the basilisk, so as to increase my training."

Both of these are very probable, and deep down in Barry's heart, he doesn't know which one to believe.

"If I denied it, Robert wouldn't believe me, no, no, he wouldn't believe it, after all, he could find me directly, there must be some evidence, you can't deny it, otherwise it will give him a bad impression."

Barry paused for a long time, with a slight heaviness on his face, and replied to Robert, who was still lying on the table, "That's right, I ran into a monster in the alley of the North End in the morning, and I happened to kill him. ”

Listening to Barry's sure answer, Robert didn't continue to ask, but said with a smile on his face: "Good boy, after encountering this matter, he still pretended to come to training as if nothing happened, his heart is really big." ”

Then Robert shouted into the back room of his office, "The matter has been decided, come out to see the heroes of our Iron Cross Society who killed the basilisk alone." ”

When Robert finished speaking, five people, four men and one woman, came out of the house, and at the front of the walk was the pale blonde beauty named Phoenix that Barry had met on his outing.

Then there was Mark, who had fought Barry in the back hills, and Barry didn't know the three people in the back.

One was wearing a white robe, and the other was wearing a monk's uniform of the Holy See, but there seemed to be some metal soft armor in the clothes, reflecting wisps of silver light.

The last one looked like an ordinary poor man, probably in his fifties, with the marks of life on his face, and now his expression was full of nervousness.

Phoenixine glanced at Barry, then turned to the elder George at the end.

"You're looking closely, it wasn't this boy who killed the basilisk this morning."

Old George looked nervously at Barry, pondered there for half a minute, as if to compare it with the memory in his mind, and then replied in a timid voice.

"It's him... It was him, but I didn't see him kill that monster, I just saw him and the monster standing across from him, the snake... The basilisk said that he was going to kill him. ”

"After that, I didn't dare to look at it, so I hid in the house, and when there was really no movement outside, I hurried over to report to you."

It turned out that this old George was the one who found the lazy black gas host at the garbage station.

That remote alley, the environment is very poor, the security is not good, and there are often murders, but it can't stand its cheap rent, so most of the people living in it are low-level people like old George.

At that time, when Barry and the basilisk were fighting, old George happened to have an upset stomach in the morning, so he planned to go to the toilet, and happened to see this scene and hid in fright.

In fact, George Sr. was not the only one who realized that something was happening in the morning, after all, the sound of Barry's three shots was not small, as long as he lived closer, he could hear it.

But after all, it's so chaotic that even the sheriff won't patrol here, so even with the sound of gunshots, the others deliberately don't look at it with the mentality that more is better than less, just like last night.

That is, old George saw the appearance of the basilisk and realized that this was a monster, and there were still rules for gangsters to kill, but this monster didn't need any excuse to kill, and he might have to eat people when he was hungry.

So for the sake of his future safety, George Sr. went to the police, and through the referral of the security office, he met the receptionist of the security bureau, and thus told them about the incident.

Phoenixine's team, hearing the news, hurried to the alley to check the scene, although the basilisk was gone, but Barry still underestimated the professionals.

Just through the traces left on the ground, as well as the pits smashed by the big bluestone, and with the description of Old George, the scene was restored, and it was judged that the basilisk was killed.

The basilisk was solved, but Phoenix still had to find the killer, after all, it was still disturbing for a strange powerhouse to appear at this time.

After listening to George Sr.'s vague description, and a few other clues, it was finally determined that Barry was probably the one who killed the basilisk.

After listening to George Sr.'s definite answer, coupled with Barry's admission, the matter has become clear so far, but there are still many things to be resolved for Barry.

Now that the protagonists of the incident have been found, the informant of old George is useless, and Mark has given him some warnings to prevent him from spreading the news around.

As for the reward for reporting the crime to old George, he had to go to the security bureau to collect it himself after old George went out, and now they don't have time to accompany him to collect it.

Mark casually dismissed old George, and now in this office, there are all transcendentals, and there is no need to be restrained when talking.

Seeing that everyone was standing, Phoenix Nisten directly grabbed the main thing and waved at everyone.

"Sit down first, we have to talk for a while, let's sit down and have a good talk."

Barry heard Phoenixine say this, and saw the others find a place to sit down, and Barry also relaxed and sat down next to a chair next to him.

Everyone sat down, and Phoenix stared at Barry, asking him to tell him what had happened, after all, he would definitely be more detailed.

Looking at everyone's attitude towards Phoenixine, Barry also knew that she was the one who could call the shots in this place, and since everyone had spoken, he could only talk about the morning's events carefully.

However, Barry still hid some things, such as blocking the venom with the shield of the Guardian Ring, but he skipped it and directly said that he had a sense of danger and flashed over.

As for why the basilisk wanted to kill him, Barry also deliberately omitted it, after all, he didn't want the other side to know that he had killed someone, after all, killing people and killing monsters are two different things.

However, this little trick of speech could not hide from Fenistine, a skilled case handler, so she asked again.

"When old George reported the crime, he said that the basilisk made a voice and said that he must kill you, can you explain why?"

As a last resort, Barry told him about killing the three gangsters last night, but he expressed in his words that he was forced to do so, just in self-defense, after all, he was an official person in front of him, and it would be a big trouble to be defined as a murderer.

After listening to the basilisk being affected by the evil thoughts of the three gangsters, he had murderous intentions towards Barry, and the reason for this case was clear, what Barry did last night was a small problem, so he didn't have to care much.

As for the three gangsters who hung up, Phoenix is the security bureau, not the police station, and the case of the dead man is just a trivial matter, and they don't have to take care of it, and they don't need to take care of it.

Now there is one last thing left, where did the basilisk carcass go, and figuring out this matter will make the case completely closed.
