Chapter 886

~3 min read 584 words

Following his two colleagues, he went outside the research center.

His Indian boss was talking boastfully about an important case they had taken on, surrounded by reporters' microphones:

"—I am satisfied with the verdict in the Johnson case. The evidence analyzed by our laboratory is sufficient to provide full proof."

"And this is thanks to the hard work and high focus of our staff."

"?"

Barry Allen frowned, not agreeing with his boss: "I haven't finished analyzing that evidence yet..."

Beside him, a female colleague with two buns in her hair didn't take it seriously, smiling and mimicking him: "Oh~ Barry hasn't finished analyzing that evidence yet~"

Another male colleague wearing black-rimmed glasses also echoed: "Wow~ if we listened to you, murderers from decades ago wouldn't be convicted even now."

Hearing this.

Barry Allen immediately thought of his father who was still in prison.

Thanks to his soft personality, he didn't get angry on the spot.

"I'm telling you... you might think things like this are funny, but everything we handle involves human lives, and they all have families!"

"You don't realize the seriousness of the matter at all!"

After finishing...

He turned and left on his own.

Leaving the two colleagues looking at each other...

Time came to the evening.

Barry Allen returned home and found a yellow package at the door.

The package had the words "Wei En Enterprises—Confidential Evidence" on it.

Opening the package.

Inside was a silver USB drive and a note.

The note briefly wrote an English word:

—"Sorry" (Bruce Wei En)

Clearly, this was the evidence Bruce had helped him find.

But the result was not satisfactory...

Barry inserted the USB drive into his computer and watched a restored video.

At the same time, he also had a phone call with his father in prison:

【(You have a call from Iron Heights Prison, collect call, do you wish to accept)】

Barry Allen: 【Accept】

【Hello, Dad】

Henry Allen: 【Hello, Barry, how have you been lately?】

Barry Allen: 【Pretty good...】

【Have you been going out more?】

【Yeah... okay, no, no.】

Barry Allen: 【But I ran into a friend from college, Iris West, just today...】

Henry Allen: 【Isn't she the goddess from when you were in school?】

【Does she have a boyfriend now?】

【Why don't you ask her out?】

【Dad, I...】

Listening to his dad still caring about his love life while in prison, Barry Allen looked at the computer screen, his throat choking up: 【... I have a friend who helped restore the old surveillance footage from that supermarket, using a new program he researched.】

【The picture is very clear now, it's just 2.7...】

【You never looked up, Dad...】

【Your face can't be seen in the surveillance.】

【So there is no new evidence to support your alibi, I'm afraid I have to start researching how to appeal next time...】

【No, that's enough.】

On the other end of the phone, Henry Allen, wearing a prison uniform, said in a calm tone: 【Don't worry about your dad's business anymore...】

【That way you'll have time to get a girlfriend.】

Barry Allen: 【But, Dad, I don't want to...】

Henry Allen: 【We've walked this old road, this was the final effort, tomorrow will just be going through the motions.】

【Dad is fine, really.】

【If you ask me, sometimes I feel that staying in prison is easier for me.】

【Compared to the outside... she is gone...】

【Here I can still have a thought, imagining she is still alive...】

【Live your life well, Barry.】 ===== CHAPTER 891 =====
