Chapter 1409: Sub-mirror

You can't blame others for this. He's old and his hearing is bad, it's normal not to hear movement... My ass! You wouldn't answer the "phone" no matter what just now, and I've already started mobilizing, why are you suddenly making noise now?

Looking at the Aquarius Bureau Chief who suddenly appeared in the small mirror, Li Ang, who was completely awkward, felt his face heat up, and then could only bear the strange gazes of the other four, asking with a stiff scalp:

"Lord Balto, I asked Melly to contact you."

"Ah, so what do you want from me?"

"..."

I had some before, but now it's gone...

After racking his brains to analyze a lot, judging that the situation was extremely critical, but it turned out to be just a false alarm, Li Ang just wanted to end the conversation quickly and pretend that nothing had happened.

However, facing the Aquarius Bureau Chief's puzzled gaze in the mirror, he couldn't just hang up the "phone," so he had to bite the bullet and pull:

"Actually, it's nothing major, just wanted to ask about the situation at the Aquarius Branch and your current arrangements for the Aquarius Branch."

"I see..."

The Aquarius Bureau Chief frowned upon hearing this, then said:

"I'm busy on the road now. You can ask Melly directly about these things. I don't hide anything from her... or find Hope after arriving at the Aquarius Branch and let him tell you about my arrangements."

"Okay."

After responding, Li Ang, eager to end the call, didn't continue to ask, but nodded and wrote down the name, then before hanging up the "phone," he pushed the female cleaner away from the front of the mirror with his butt, and then said intentionally or unintentionally:

"By the way, Lord Balto, the wedding gift you asked Melly to pass to me is very good. Veronica and I both like it very much, but your gift is really too valuable."

"Hehe."

Hearing Li Ang's words, the blue-haired old man in the mirror smiled, then said kindly:

"As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if it's valuable or not."

As long as we like it? But I haven't received any wedding gift!

Looking at the blue-haired old man in the mirror who readily admitted it, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly, and the "Aquarius Bureau Chief," who had been paying attention to his expression, keenly noticed this small difference, couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

"Thrush was right, you really aren't easy to deal with."

Without continuing to make futile efforts, he reached out and wiped his face, restoring his wrinkled face to smoothness, then picked up the white wolf-head mask, blocked his true face, then changed back to his hoarse voice, and asked with a complex gaze:

"Mr. Li Ang, could you please tell me where I revealed the flaw and aroused your suspicion?"

"?!!!"

It really is fake!!!

Looking at the thin human in the mirror who had shed the appearance of the Aquarius Bureau Chief and turned into another face, the three ration bureau chiefs were all shocked.

And the female cleaner, who had reacted when Li Ang mentioned the gift, grabbed Li Ang's arm and rushed back to the mirror, questioning anxiously:

"Who are you? Where is my uncle-grandfather? Why do you have his mirror!"

"How about... one question for one question?"

Looking at Li Ang in the small mirror who didn't say a word and didn't seem to want to pay attention to him at all, Snow Wolf smiled, then said to him: "Mr. Li Ang, if you are willing to tell me where I revealed the flaw, then I will tell you the origin of this mirror, how about it? Interested?"

Intelligence for intelligence?

After pondering slightly, Li Ang looked at the female cleaner who bit her lip but held back from interfering with him, then nodded slightly.

"Okay."

After agreeing to the deal proposed by Snow Wolf, Li Ang narrowed his eyes and said:

"Your disguise is actually perfect, I was indeed deceived at first, but there are always things in this world that you cannot disguise."

"What things?"

"Emotion, or you could say, gaze."

Gaze? Is that what you told us just now?

Hearing Li Ang's words, the three rations on the other side couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously, exchanging glances.

Wasn't the reason Lord Li Ang just gave for the Aquarius Bureau Chief possibly being a fake inferred from his behavior? Why is he talking about emotion and gaze now?

After squeezing the female cleaner away from the mirror again, Li Ang, who never told the truth when exchanging intelligence with opponents, continued to talk nonsense without changing his face:

"Most of human emotion expression is through the eyes. I had contact with Bureau Chief Balto of the Aquarius Branch through this mirror once before, and Melly was beside me at the time. And the look you gave Melly is different from the look he gave Melly."

So it was a gaze problem?

Through his 【Pseudo-Illusion】 authority, Snow Wolf felt Li Ang's answer and didn't find any false components, so he nodded and said with satisfaction:

"Very good, although it may not be the whole reason, I didn't feel the taste of lies in it. It seems that what you said is indeed true, and you didn't try to deceive me."

???

Looking at the satisfied Snow Wolf in the mirror, the female cleaner, who was held down by Li Ang, was stunned, and then looked at Li Ang with confusion.

You told the truth this time? Then the reason you told us just now was fake?

Also, when did you have contact with uncle-grandfather through this mirror? And I was beside you at the time? How come I don't know about this? Ah... my brain is so messy!

If your brain is messy, don't think about it. This job isn't for you.

Turning the small mirror slightly to avoid the confused female cleaner being reflected, Li Ang stared at Snow Wolf in the mirror and urged calmly:

"Of course it's only a part. After all, if I said it all at once, what if you went back on your word?"

"Rest assured, although I like to disguise, I still care about credibility."

Snow Wolf in the small mirror smiled, then said to the female cleaner who didn't exist in front of the mirror:

"Miss Melly, the mirror in my hand is actually the same as the one in your hand. They are both small sub-mirrors made by Mr. Balto of the Aquarius Branch, who specifically split the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】 in his hand to contact his family in time."

"Wrong! You're lying!"

Hearing Snow Wolf's words, the female cleaner couldn't help but push Li Ang's hand up and shouted at the mirror:

"Uncle-grandfather told me that only I have his sub-mirror!"

"It's 'now' only you have it."

After specifically emphasizing the word "now," Snow Wolf first glanced at Li Ang, who had already understood and whose brows were furrowed subconsciously, then tapped the misty small mirror in front of him with his fingertip, smiling at the female cleaner:

"The original owner of this sub-mirror was your mother, and I picked it up from her corpse with my own hands back then."
