Chapter 3 The Reality of the World(1/2)
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Xing Ze finally rushed back home.
Before he could get off the bus, he discovered something very strange.
Tonight is a Little Barry's adult banquet. Logically speaking, Barry's house should have been brightly lit at this time, but in fact, the dark house does not look like someone at home no matter how it looks like.
"Did I remember wrongly that the banquet was not held at home?" Xing Ze walked out of the car with some confusion. He took out the gift from the trunk and was about to knock on the door first.
As a result, before he could take a few steps, he suddenly stopped with an ugly expression.
Something is wrong!
With a sharp gaze constantly scanning the front, Xing Ze tried to find out some problems through observation.
The lawn is intact, not like there are signs of fighting.
The door is closed tightly and the door lock is not damaged.
window...
Just as Xing Ze's eyes moved to the windowsill of Old Bali's house, his hair suddenly exploded.
I saw a tall black shadow standing motionlessly by the window on the second floor watching him.
Because the light was not turned on, Xing Ze could not see the face of the black shadow clearly, but he could see clearly the dagger that occasionally reflected the moonlight in the black shadow's hand.
The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and Xing Ze suddenly turned around and ran to the car, and continued to observe the movements in the house with the help of a bunker.
The reason why he stopped before was because he smelled a strong smell of blood. The source of the smell was the house in front of him.
All signs show that something must have happened in the Old Barry family, and the murderer is probably the mysterious black shadow.
He dared to enter the residential house to commit crimes. The criminals were 100% possessed guns, and there were probably more than one person. Therefore, Xing Ze did not rashly go in and check it out.
In the dark environment, he sneaked in and faced multiple gangsters holding guns alone, and this behavior was no different from seeking death.
Seeing that the gangster was still hiding in the house and after a brief thought, Xing Ze made the wisest choice.
Call the police!
......
The Gotham City police officers didn't say anything else, but the speed of dispatching was still very fast. After a while, with the sound of sirens, three police cars and a total of 10 criminal police officers came to the suburbs.
There is no way. It was because Xing Ze said it was too serious when he called the police, so the police had to send more police forces.
If a gunman really enters the house and kills people, wouldn’t he be killed if there are fewer people coming?
"Mr. Rufis Klein, what's going on now?" a sheriff asked, leaning over and walking over.
"It's strange that the house has always been quiet, and the criminals seem to have no intention of escaping." Xing Ze answered the sheriff's question truthfully. He kept guarding the car and never left. He would never hide any noise.
Understand that the gangster is probably still in the house. The sheriff gestured to the back and reminded him: "Very good, your mission is completed, let's leave the rest to us."
The sheriff did not question the authenticity of his words, because the pungent smell of blood outside the house was enough to say everything.
The experienced sheriff can even conclude that there are definitely more than one person who died, otherwise the smell of blood would not be so great.
Hearing the sheriff's words, Xing Ze nodded subconsciously. Only then did he have the intention to turn his head and look at the police officer beside him.
"Is it him?"
This person is very familiar with Xing Ze. It is almost difficult not to see him if you buy newspapers these days.
Sheriff James Gordon, before Batman and Attorney General Harvey Dante appeared, was seen as the only light in Gotham City.
At the same time, he is also the only person in the police who can contact Batman, and he is deeply trusted.
Now that such a person is standing in front of him, Xing Ze's heart is full of flavors.
On the other hand, Gordon, who is currently the sheriff, has led his subordinates to sneak into Old Barry's home.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the gunshots that Xing Ze imagined did not appear. After a while, the lights lit up in the house.
It was faintly vaguely that he could still hear the orders issued by Sheriff Gordon.
"Protect the scene, take the survivor back to the room first, and call the person who reported the case... Rufez, yes, call him in."
This time, Xing Ze heard it clearly. Although he didn't know the specific situation, at least he could confirm that the house was currently safe, and...
"Survivors, that is, do some people survive even if they die..."
"Old Barry..."
Thinking back to the voice, appearance and smile of the middle-aged man, Xing Ze walked into the house with a somewhat ugly face.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a lot of blood permeated on the floor.
It is roughly estimated that this amount of bleeding will not result in the whole person's intestines and stomach breaking, or one or two victims alone will not be able to achieve such an effect.
Walking forward carefully in the sticky blood, and walking to the other corner of the sofa, Xing Ze finally met the old Barry and his wife again.
However, at this time, the two men had already become corpses all over the ground. If it weren't for some facial features and fragments of clothing, it would be difficult for Xing Ze to distinguish the identity of the corpse.
"Jie Ai, by the way, what is your relationship with the dead, why did you come here today, and how did you find something wrong?"
As the first witness, Gordon naturally had to interrogate. After all, it was not uncommon for thieves to call for thieves to catch them.
"I was invited to attend Little Barry's adult banquet today, so I... By the way, how is Little Barry's situation?"
"Are you talking about the victim's child? Don't worry, he has been hiding in the cabinet before, and one of my female subordinates is communicating with him. It seems that there is no big problem with the situation."
"Is that so good?" Xing Ze finally felt relieved when he learned that Little Barry was fine, and then he told the scene he had just experienced.
"You mean, you clearly saw a black shadow holding a sharp weapon, right?" Gordon looked at him suspiciously, wanting to ask directly about the black shadow that it was not you.
Actually, it’s not that Gordon thought so. According to Xing Ze, the criminal has been staying in the house since he appeared and has not left. So what is the purpose of this person?
You can't just wait for the police to arrest you?
It's not just him, but Xing Ze is also thinking about this issue at this moment.
When he saw the black shadow, he didn't believe it, but he didn't know it. What he had now is schizophrenia and not paranoid, so how could he make a mistake?
etc...
Thinking of schizophrenia, Xing Ze suddenly felt that he had missed something. He could feel that as long as he could think of this, all the problems would make sense.
Looking at Xing Ze who was in deep thought, Sheriff Gordon shook his head silently, turned his head and shouted to his police officers: "Closing the scene temporarily, and when you go back, you will record it first. Remember to bring that child with you."
"Child?!" Hearing Gordon's words, a flash of lightning suddenly passed through Xing Ze's mind.
He finally figured out where the sense of incongruity after entering the house came from.
Under normal circumstances, parents have just been killed by murderers. Ordinary young people may feel safe when they see the police coming, but Little Barry is not a child of ordinary meaning.
Don’t forget that he is a severe autistic patient and there is no so-called communication at all.
But when he came in, Gordon clearly said that his subordinates were communicating with Little Barry. It seemed that he did not realize that this was a child with autism.
Then the question arises. Is autism the kind of disease that will cure due to frightening and stimulation?
The answer is of course no.
Not to mention curing it because it is better if the condition does not worsen, then the current situation is a bit subtle.
With trust in Sheriff Gordon, Xing Ze expressed his opinion without any concealment.
Looking at Xing Ze with a frown, Gordon asked in a difficult tone: "You don't want to tell me that this teenager with autism had amputated his parents with his own hands. This is too..."
Xing Ze actually didn't want to think about the problem like this, but don't forget that this is the world of Batman, so it's not surprising that there will be any strange situations.
During his time at work, Little Barry must have encountered something, otherwise this timid and kind child would not have done such a thing.
It is obvious that although it has not been confirmed, Xing Ze has long believed that Little Barry is the murderer.
Only in this way can we explain why the murderer disappeared without realizing it, because no one would suspect that he killed his parents with his own hands, so there was no need to run away at all.
Looking at the backs of a group of police officers who carefully climbed to the second floor, Xing Ze was considering the last doubt.
The black shadow I saw at that time was much stronger than Little Barry. He suspected that there was another murderer. This person was very likely to hide in Little Barry's room at this moment.
"Don't worry, no matter who is still in the room, he will never let him escape." Seeing that Xing Ze was a little worried, Gordon couldn't help but comfort him softly.
"I hope."
......
On the second floor, three police officers came to Little Barry's door. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they suddenly heard a strange sound from the house.
This kind of voice is very familiar to an adult.
Looking at each other, a irritable male policeman kicked open the door hard, but before they could rush in, a naked female corpse flew out of it.
Looking closely, the female corpse was the female police officer responsible for comforting Little Barry.
"Tsk, it's not bad, very moist."
He licked the corner of his mouth with an evil expression. At this moment, Little Barry didn't look naive and timid. At first glance, the person in front of him was a desperate person who did not take other people's lives seriously.
"Fake." The male policeman who finally reacted, raised his arm and pointed his gun at the sneering little Barry.
Driven by anger, he just wanted to smash the head of the person in front of him with one shot.
The finger was just put on the trigger, and the next second, the male policeman's arms suddenly broke.
To be continued...
