Chapter 375: 375 Flying Kick!
375 Flying Kick!
"What's wrong? Do you have nothing to say?"
After testing the effective range of the 【Tongue of Sincere Words】 and discovering that after shielding most of the influence, the less false content in each sentence, the less influence his tongue received, Li Ang switched out the Performance Master and scolded with a look of anger:
"I know, you investigators have personal grudges with people from our Virgin Branch, so you always like to write some exaggerated things in the investigation report, but this time you are too much!
Such a big thing also needs to be framed? Do you know what will happen if you succeed in framing us? How much influence will it have on Senior Auntie Ai Ma and me? Where is your conscience? Was it eaten by a dog?"
"..."
Heh, my conscience might indeed be in a dog's stomach, but this thick face of yours, ordinary dogs really can't eat it!
After drumming for a long time, discovering that the 【Tongue of Sincere Words】 had indeed lost its effect, the old investigator couldn't help but take a deep breath, then silently picked up his pen and recorded it truthfully in his notebook.
The thing he backtracked using the 【Ritual Pocket Watch】 was definitely the truth about the death of the Hou Jue of Jin Juan. Compared to the 【Tongue of Sincere Words】 that could be interfered with, the past he saw with his own eyes must be true. The Hou Jue of Jin Juan must have been killed by him!
But the 【Ritual Pocket Watch】 itself has an extremely high Li Ang value and is not something that an ordinary investigator can catalyze. It also has corresponding records in the bureau. It is one of the "Time Three-Piece Set" created by the Water Bottle Director using the remains of the King of Time. It should be taken away by the "Water Bottle Director" now.
Therefore, as long as he dared to take this thing out, it was equivalent to declaring to everyone that he had a connection with the Water Bottle Director. A slight investigation would directly expose his identity. Compared to the heavy news that he was still alive, violating the rules to kill a Hou Jue didn't count as anything at all.
And in order to escape from the effects of the 【Instruction List】 and 【Dead World Street Lamp】, and to hide from the Cleanup Bureau, he had already discarded all his "Evil Souls." If the remaining part of his "Good Souls" was also discovered, then he would really have nothing left.
This kid in front of him, although full of secrets, might hinder his next plan, but it wasn't enough to make him use his last old life to exchange for him...
Not worth it! Not worth it!
After measuring the gains and losses in less than a second, the old investigator... or rather, one-half of the Water Bottle Director, tried hard to suppress the depression in his heart, and with a blank expression, asked the questions designed in advance one by one.
And Li Ang continued to maintain his persona, answering one by one, and while answering, he added some private goods, using a large amount of vague goals and half-true, half-false words to completely wash away the remaining effects of the 【Tongue of Sincere Words】.
Under the "intentional cooperation" of both sides, this aggressive "interrogation" ended unusually peacefully. In the old investigator's notebook, only a large pile of ambiguous replies remained, as well as Li Ang's remarks about his fierce loyalty to the Cleanup Bureau.
"Let's stop the inquiry here for now. We will definitely work hard to investigate in the future. After we get enough evidence, we will come to find you again...
After closing the notebook filled with Li Ang's "loyalty" to the Bureau, which made him feel nauseous just looking at it, the old investigator took out a document and handed it over with an expressionless face.
"This is?"
"This is the dangerous situation investigated by the Bureau with the help of the Watchtower's hints, utilizing two time-type anomalous objects."
Disgusted by Li Ang's impassioned string of lies, the old investigator said with a dark face:
"Originally, after confirming that the two of you were not colluding with Lady Olivia, this should have been handed directly to her for review. But now that our investigation was not meticulous enough and we wronged you, I no longer have the face to see her. Please, the two of you, deliver it directly!"
The Watchtower's hint?!
Upon hearing the old investigator's words, Li Ang and the other person couldn't help but turn solemn, and they took the sealed document with gravity.
"Is the information inside only for Olivia to see, or can we see it too?"
After looking at the tightly sealed document, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma couldn't help but frown and say:
"Also, news from the Watchtower's hints is generally very important. Why not contact Olivia directly through the 【Celestial Mirror】 instead of passing it via a paper document?"
"I'm not clear on that; I'm just helping to run an errand."
After listening to Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's inquiry, the old investigator shook his head and said:
"As for whether you can see it... the Bureau didn't specify; they just told me to deliver this message to the Virgin Branch, so the members of the Virgin Branch should all be able to see it."
All members of the Virgin Branch can see it? So... I'm afraid this will be a large-scale mission with a wide impact that requires the mobilization of all members!
After understanding the significance of this document, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma dared not delay. She whispered a few words and then hurried away with the document. Li Ang, who had just been acting aggressively, rose with a relaxed mind to see the guest off:
"Since that's the case, I won't see you out. Please, make yourself at home!"
"..."
Looking at Li Ang, who said he "wouldn't see him out" but in reality had only lifted his butt slightly off the sofa and was unwilling to even stand up to walk him to the door, the old investigator couldn't help but laugh in anger, nodded slightly, and said:
"Good! You are very good!"
Staring at Li Ang's face again and again, and firmly engraving this person who had almost killed him into his heart, the old investigator, whose demeanor had been quite amiable and who hadn't resorted to harsh words even when provoked, finally couldn't help but give a strange laugh and said with deep meaning:
"Mr. Li Ang, I believe it won't be long before we meet again."
"..."???
That remark of yours... why does it sound like a villainous big boss?
"Wait."
Although he hadn't discovered any problems, Li Ang had heard too many similar lines like "xxx, we have a long road ahead" in his past life, and he instinctively felt something was wrong.
After looking at the other person's naturally smiling face and feeling the mysterious aura about him, Li Ang hesitated slightly, but in the end, he couldn't help but speak up to detain him:
"Don't go yet... may I ask, is your name Camus?"
"Why?"
Hearing Li Ang's words, the old investigator turned his head back and asked with surprise:
"Could it be that Mr. Li Ang has heard my name somewhere before?"
"It is indeed a bit familiar... let me see..."
Rambling nonsense, Li Ang leaned in eagerly, placed both hands on the old investigator's shoulders to prevent him from moving, and then said with surprise in his eyes:
"So it is you! Aren't you that..."
Before he had even finished speaking, Li Ang's right leg suddenly lifted, and following the secret fighting techniques of the female police officer, he kicked fiercely toward the old investigator's crotch!
Remembering that when the Bureau Chief lost her wallet, she judged that there would definitely be a problem within a week, and then this old man happened to show up, his own suspicion was shockingly high.
Moreover, that remark of his just now had such a strong flavor of a villainous big boss; no matter how he chewed on it, it felt wrong. So, regardless of whether there was a problem, it was best to kick him first to test it out.
Anyway, he had an immortal body, and the Bureau Chief's office was not far away. Even if he really kicked a boss into existence, he likely wouldn't be killed. So this kick had more pros than cons; kicking him was definitely the right move!
Why kick me? Could it be that I've been exposed?
Noticing the flying kick aimed at his crotch, the old investigator's eyes widened suddenly, and countless chaotic and abnormal thoughts flooded into his mind like a tide.
Impossible!
My good soul has been separated for nearly seventy years, and I have never had any contact with the Aquarius Director. For over fifty years, I have worked diligently, and my entire record is clean and verifiable. How could I possibly be exposed!
But if I haven't been exposed, why would he suddenly take action?
Could it be... just because I wrote about his dirty laundry in the past, and I couldn't help but leave a harsh remark when I left just now? He held a grudge and ambushed an old man like me? Kicked me directly in the balls?
No... is this kid really such a beast?
After looking at Li Ang with disbelief, the old investigator wished he could explode on the spot and beat the dog-thing in front of him to a pulp to see what exactly was in his brain.
But thinking of his goal, the other party's troublesome immortal body, and the Blood-Haired Lady who was only twenty steps away and might kill him at any moment if she discovered an anomaly, the old investigator could only bite his lip in grief and indignation, trembling as he slightly parted his legs...
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!"
