Chapter 374: 374 Tongue-Wagging

Looking at the female investigator, who was flushed red and almost suffocated by the scolding, Li Ang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang and decided to buy it a few more packs of Gao Te after work.

Although the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's "attack power" was a bit poor, its verbal aggressiveness was truly maxed out. He remembered that there was such an incident last time he was investigated, and it also scolded the other party until they rolled their eyes. It was a special treasure for investigators.

"Alright, Aisha."

After glancing at the arrogant sheep head with surprise, the old investigator acted as a peacemaker and persuaded gently:

"Let's stop the routine questions for now. After all, we haven't obtained any solid evidence yet. Asking like this is indeed a bit presumptuous... You go out and blow some wind first, and I'll handle the rest."

"Good..."

After hearing the elderly investigator's persuasion, the female investigator clenched her fists, then nodded with pursed lips and left the office with a look of unwillingness.

And after she left angrily, the elderly investigator, who had a gentle expression, sat up straight, looked directly into Li Ang's eyes, and said with a peaceful voice:

"Mr. Li Ang, if I'm not mistaken, the death of that Hou Jue of Jin Juan has a direct reason with you, right?"

Of course not!

Li Ang, who had already prepared himself mentally, instinctively wanted to shake his head to deny it, but discovered that his tongue was slightly stiff, no matter how he moved it, it couldn't move at all.

"It seems you want to lie again."

After opening his mouth slightly to show Li Ang his tongue, which was flashing with faint white light, the old investigator smiled:

"After going back from you last time, I felt that my level was insufficient, so I specifically applied to the General Bureau for an anomalous object used to distinguish lies, and used this to replace my original tongue.

When talking to me, if your answer is a lie, your tongue will be affected and you won't be able to cooperate with you to give a false answer, so please try to be as sincere as possible in our next conversation."

An anomalous object that distinguishes lies?

After hearing the old investigator's words, Li Ang subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at his tongue.

Although due to the angle, it wasn't very clear, there was something similar to a "suture" in the middle of his tongue.

The second half of the old investigator's tongue was completely normal, and there was nothing abnormal, but the first half, which was flashing with white light, looked as if it had been air-dried, looking dry and shriveled. The tongue surface could barely be considered intact, but the underside was quite severely shriveled, and the dark green tongue tendons had already bulged out, looking quite terrifying.

'Be careful, this is the 【Tongue of Sincere Words】!'

A hand that was slightly damp held on, and Auntie Ai Ma's gentle voice drilled into Li Ang's soul through the palms of the two people holding hands.

'This thing is an anomalous object created by the fourth-generation Taurus Director. He sneaked into the cemetery of the Truth Church, dug up the grave of their first-generation Grand Speaker, and took this tongue from the corpse.

That first-generation Grand Speaker never said a lie in his life from birth to death, so the anomalous object made from his tongue can force others to be like him and only answer with the truth.

And the consumption of this thing is also very low. Anyone with a little bit of Li Ang value can use it. The only cost is that you need to replace your original tongue, and there is an upper limit to the number of times it can be used.'

"Sizzle..."

【Through Auntie Ai Ma Alman's detailed explanation, you have obtained a large amount of intelligence regarding the "Tongue of Sincere Words". Heterochromatic badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" activated.

Due to understanding the activation rules of the "Tongue of Sincere Words", your resistance to this anomalous object has increased significantly, and you are already able to shield yourself from deeper levels of influence.】

Tongue of Sincere Words, huh?

After looking at the pop-up prompt, Li Ang held Auntie Ai Ma's hand in reverse and asked through the connection between souls:

'What about the others? Is there any other intelligence?'

There is... but why are you asking these?

Auntie Ai Ma blinked with confusion at his words, but out of trust in Li Ang, she still explained quickly through the connection between souls:

'There is indeed some...

According to the calculation of the fourth-generation Taurus Director, when the total number of times it has been used accumulates to the number of all the true words the Grand Speaker said during his lifetime, this thing will dry up by itself.

So about three hundred years ago, this thing had already been sealed by the Director at that time. It is only taken out when it is very important. I don't know how he got it.

In short, Li Ang, don't pay attention to him anymore. My Li Ang value is much higher than his. The effect of this thing on me will be weaker. Let me answer the next questions!'

"Sizzle..."

【Through Auntie Ai Ma Alman's detailed explanation... already able to shield yourself from extremely deep levels of influence.】

'It's okay, let me answer.'

After patting Senior Auntie Ai Ma's hand comfortingly, Li Ang moved his tongue, which was still a bit stiff, and said with a slightly strange but fluent accent:

"Sure, next, I will try to be as sincere as possible... Also, the Hou Jue of Jin Juan was not killed by me, and there is even no relationship. You really investigated the wrong person."?!!

After hearing Li Ang's answer, the old investigator's eyebrows couldn't help but jump fiercely, and then he tightened the muscles at his jaw, pushing the root of his tongue very hard, trying to suppress this sentence that was clearly talking nonsense.

However, no matter how hard he tried, even a small part of his chin was visibly bulging, Li Ang's words instead became smoother and smoother, and he even took the initiative, his expression slightly disgusted:

"Also, I don't know what's wrong with you. In the case of clearly having no evidence, not only did you aggressively come to me, using some very offensive questions to accuse me, but you even specifically prepared corresponding anomalous objects.

But no matter how much you rack your brains, innocent people are innocent after all. Regarding the matter of the Hou Jue of Jin Juan jumping into the lake and committing suicide, I have had a clear conscience from beginning to end. You can investigate if you want. Senior Auntie Ai Ma and I didn't even touch a finger of his.

And you want to pin the matter on us when there is no evidence at all. I suspect you are related to the Water Bottle Director. After this conversation ends, I will immediately file a complaint to the General Bureau, requesting a strict investigation into your background and whereabouts!"

"..."

No... you don't know what you did yourself? How are you embarrassed to investigate me?

His tongue was almost broken, and he couldn't suppress Li Ang's righteous speech. The muscles on the old investigator's cheeks bit down fiercely, and he began to doubt whether the 【Tongue of Sincere Words】 was broken.

Before he came, he had already gone to the Emerald Manor to investigate and secretly used the 【Ritual Pocket Watch】 to backtrack the situation that day.

This dog thing with a righteous face in front of him took advantage of the night to knock down the guards and sneak into the manor, stood at the Hou Jue of Jin Juan's door for more than ten minutes, and then the Hou Jue of Jin Juan had a nightmare all night and jumped into the lake the next day!

Damn it! If this matter could have nothing to do with him, then he would take out the 【Agenda Pocket Watch】 and chew it into pieces and eat it on the spot! ===== CHAPTER 375 =====
