Chapter 528: Invitation

Not knowing that Leon had produced a new misunderstanding about her, after walking upstairs with a prickling back, the policewoman quickly entered the Director's office and explained Leon's purpose at a very fast speed.

"This... is probably not very convenient."

After listening to the policewoman's words, the scarred-faced strong man put down the map of the capital in his hand and said with a look of difficulty:

"Your Cleanup Bureau's permission has always been the highest in the entire Department of Police. If it were just a small matter like interrogating rebels, I definitely wouldn't refuse.

But you requested that the interrogation process be kept secret throughout, without leaving any written records, and not allowing anyone else to know. This is not very possible.

That prisoner, although not the mastermind, also participated in the assassination of the Princess. If I really agree to your private contact with her, I am not very easy to explain to the people above."

"..."

If you say so... it is indeed the case.

After listening to the scarred-faced strong man's explanation, Leon couldn't help but wrinkle his brow.

Involving a big case like the assassination of the Princess, the Secret Investigation Bureau is indeed not convenient to open a back door for him. But according to their own Director's statement, matters related to anomalies are best kept strictly confidential, and the fewer people who know, the better.

After all, in this quite idealistic world, "knowing" and "believing" are a kind of power. The more people who know about the existence of the Cleanup Bureau and anomalies, the stronger the anomalies in the jurisdiction will be. If the normal interrogation process is followed, and the people from the Secret Investigation Bureau are allowed to accompany throughout, and written records are made, the "anomalous concentration" in the Virgin Cleanup Bureau's jurisdiction will definitely rise slightly in the near future. This kind of thing must be avoided as much as possible, but looking at the other party's attitude...

"Director, it's fine if you use this set to fob off others, why even fob off the people I brought?"

Just when Leon was still pondering how to convince the scarred-faced strong man, the policewoman on the side opened her mouth with unkindness: 【5

Just as Li Ang was still pondering how to persuade the scarred, burly man, the female police officer on the side spoke up with a hostile expression:

"Ever since the old Director retired completely a while ago, you've had total control over the Secret Investigation Bureau. And now, the Minister of Public Security who manages our Police Department is your distant relative by marriage; there's simply no one who can make things difficult for you.

As for the Cabinet, the Parliament, and the Prime Minister above that, they are currently locked in a fierce struggle over the Laien family. As for that case of the assassination attempt on the Princess, even the Princess herself doesn't have the time to worry about it for now. Who else 'above' do you need to report to?"

"..."

Having his excuse for evasion exposed to his face by his own capable subordinate, the scarred, burly man couldn't quite keep his composure. After glancing at the strangely expressive Li Ang, he coughed dryly in slight embarrassment and said:

"Ahem... while that may be true, I haven't been in this position for long, after all. It's not good to act too recklessly. I still have to..."

"Forget it! You're just afraid of taking responsibility!"

After rolling her eyes at the scarred, burly man, the female police officer, who knew her leader's personality very well, curled her lips in annoyance and said:

"You clearly have such strong work ability and your methods aren't bad either, but you shrink back whenever you encounter an issue, and you're unwilling to step up even for a sesame-sized matter... Lend me the warrant!"

"Fine~ I'll lend it to you, I'll lend it to you!"

After being rebuked by the female police officer, the scarred, burly man was surprisingly not angry. Instead, he directly took out the Director's warrant and handed it over, then, with that tough-guy face covered in scars, he said with a deep expression:

"If some mess really happens in the end, you must not..."

"Just say I stole it!"

"It's a deal!"

After the female police officer took the warrant and hurried downstairs with Li Ang, the scarred, burly man was silent for a while, then took out an identical warrant from his drawer, stood up, and quickly left his office...

With the Secret Investigation Bureau Director's warrant, Li Ang and the officer naturally had a smooth journey. Aside from the necessary registration, they encountered almost no obstruction and went all the way down to the dungeon of the Secret Investigation Bureau, successfully meeting their target.

"You talk to her first; I'll go outside and keep watch for you."

Looking at the female prisoner, who looked quite haggard with bloodshot eyes, the female police officer couldn't help but shake her head. After greeting Li Ang, she left the interrogation room, brought over a small stool, and sat outside the door to prevent anyone from going in to disturb them.

However, even with her watching, Li Ang did not lower his guard. Instead, he reached out to press against the Black Goat's horns, used his soul vision to repeatedly check the surrounding situation, and only after confirming that no one was eavesdropping did he sit down on the chair and speak to the silent female prisoner:

"I've come to see you this time to tell you some good news."

"I know."

The female prisoner nodded, a trace of heartfelt satisfaction appearing on her slightly pale face.

"Bobby Laien is dead, isn't he? And the Laien family is in turmoil; the core members of the clan are almost all dead. The Laien family is finished!"

???

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, squinting slightly as he asked:

"Did Yisha tell you all this?"

"No, although that little girl is naive, she is quite disciplined when it comes to these things. Aside from not being able to help herself from telling me the news of Bobby Laien's death, she said almost nothing else."

It wasn't the female police officer who told her?

Hearing the female prisoner's words, Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then frowned and said:

"Then how did you know about these things?"

"Strictly speaking, it should be considered that I 'saw' it with my own eyes."

Pointing to the pocket where Li Ang kept the 【Blood-Stained Plague Bandage】, the female prisoner curled the corners of her mouth and said:

"That night, the bandage my husband left behind was wrapped around your wrist. Although you were constantly suppressing it, as the owner of this bandage, I could still perceive some things happening around you... for example, wherever you went, people from the Laien family died."

When she reached this point, a smile finally appeared on the female prisoner's face. She asked with a look of pleasure:

"Although I couldn't directly see the situation, as long as a small piece of skin was missing from your body, a person from the Laien family would suddenly die. So, those people weren't all killed by Bobby Laien; at the very least, a small half of them were killed by your own hands, right?"

"..."

I was careless. I didn't expect that bandage to actually have some sensory capabilities... Truly... I thought I had covered it up perfectly, but before the General Bureau's investigators even came down, half of it had already leaked.

Secretly warning himself in his heart never to underestimate any anomalous object, Li Ang couldn't help but look at the female prisoner with "furrowed brows" and said:

"Are you implying by saying all this that you intend to frame me?"

"Of course not."

The female prisoner smiled and shook her head:

"You avenged me; I'm too grateful to you to harm you. As for whether it's framing... don't you know clearly in your heart?

Hehe, we people have worked hard for several years, and we've only managed to assassinate some mid-level officials. But the commotion you caused in just one night was more effective than all our efforts over three or four years!"

After slowly finishing these words, the female prisoner, who was handcuffed to the chair, did not continue this topic. Instead, she stared at Li Ang, who was furrowing his brows in front of her, and invited him earnestly:

"Seriously, are you interested in joining us?"
