Chapter 553: Investigating Suspicion (Part Two)

~7 min read 1,367 words

A scent more evil than demons themselves...

Hearing Li Ang, the woman frowned slightly, glanced at the 【I Am the Demon】 badge in her badge panel, and said:

"The demonic aura on me is because my compatibility with demon-type anomalies is extremely high, and I have been using a demon anomaly named 【War Diagonal】.

Besides, please try to ask questions within the scope; I do not think this matter has any connection to the Bobby Laien Blood Night."

"Not necessarily."

Looking at Hearing Li Ang before her, who was full of an evil aura, the female investigator snorted and said:

"Demons are the embodiment of desire; people with extremely high compatibility with demon anomalies almost all possess greedy personalities, yet you specifically want neither this nor that, so I have reason to suspect you are lying, and hastily donating your property was a deliberate attempt to evade investigation!"

Seeing the female investigator before him who was clearly picking a fight, Hearing Li Ang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he retorted in a cold tone:

"If donating was a deliberate attempt to evade investigation, then if I hadn't donated and instead chosen to accept the Duke title and the Bobby Laien family's wealth, would you say I created the Bobby Laien Blood Night to seek profit? Is this your method of conducting investigations?"

"I never said that."

Although she didn't know why, it seemed she held huge malice toward the entire Virgin Cleansing Bureau, deliberately making things difficult in her questions repeatedly, but the female investigator was not a complete fool; naturally, she would not leave such ammunition, so after a cold snort, she retorted:

"You have extremely high compatibility with demon anomalies, yet you act as if you want nothing; I merely suspected you were deliberately concealing something, so I raised reasonable doubts."

"What the hell are you doubting over there?"

Just as Hearing Li Ang slightly narrowed his eyes, pondering whether to set a trap for her, Heishanyang, which had been sitting on the table for half an hour, couldn't help but struggle out of the shopping bag and spat a thick glob of yellow phlegm right at her face.

Seeing the female investigator, who was startled and panickedly dodging, Heishanyang couldn't help but cackle with laughter, then, glaring with sheep eyes, asked:

"That woman, why didn't you bring your mother when you left the house? Were you afraid she'd delay finding you a new wild father?"

"You?!!!"

"What do you mean 'you'? In your own words, this is called reasonable doubt!

Of course, if you had brought your mother, that would mean you were preparing to personally select the next wild father... hehe, isn't that just reasonable doubt? Making it seem like anyone can't do it!"

After shutting the female investigator up with a few words until her face turned purple, Heishanyang raised an eyebrow at Hearing Li Ang, giving him a look that said "leave the verbal fight to us, don't worry," then took a deep breath and immediately continued firing:

"You should also **take a piss and look at yourself; with that **look of yours, you **have the nerve to stand in front of us... hmm?"

Looking at his suddenly elongated, tightly sealed mouth that seemed as if it had never existed, Heishanyang was startled, his eyes widening in shock, making a mess of "um, ah" sounds.

The old investigator beside them, who had been silently recording, put down her two index fingers crossed diagonally and, with an apologetic look, said to Hearing Li Ang, whose expression was somewhat surprised:

"I'm sorry, Aisha has some prejudice against people from your bureau, and her way of asking questions was indeed inappropriate; the following questions will be asked by me, but please also slightly control that anomaly.

The bureau has very strict regulations regarding such matters; even though this is just a routine inquiry after an incident, except for Her Excellency Olivia, the Director, in principle, no one else is allowed to listen in or intervene."

"Fine, since you speak reason, I am also willing to speak reason."

Using the Holy Spirit Pendant to pull Heishanyang over and place it opposite the trembling, angry female investigator, after they glared sheep-eye to human-eye, Hearing Li Ang raised his own doubts:

"However, you should also be clear that this Miss Aisha seems to have a deep prejudice against our bureau, which has even affected her judgment and behavior.

I believe she should not have joined this investigation at all; sending an investigator from the General Bureau who has conflicts with us is not only unfair to us but also prevents us from obtaining correct investigation results." "..."

Hearing this, the old investigator was slightly stunned, then a look of contemplation flashed in her eyes, as if hesitating on how to answer this question, while the female investigator beside her couldn't help but snort:

"Do you think I wanted to come?

To ensure the result is fair, investigators sent down for investigations must be in pairs of two, and the General Bureau has only nineteen investigators in the Northern Three Kingdoms; sixteen of them have had conflicts with you, and the remaining two have a mortal grudge against you!

Hehe, next time, who do you plan to let come? Just say it! As long as you don't pick me, I can help you invite whoever you choose!"

"..."

Holy crap... does this mean nineteen investigators offended eighteen of them?

Looking through Heishanyang's soul vision, Hearing Li Ang found that the female investigator was actually telling the truth; shocked by the sheer number of people who disliked them, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but smack his lips and, somewhat disbelieving, tried to defend:

"Well... although I haven't been with the Virgin Branch Bureau for long, I have interacted with a few seniors in the bureau; they are all quite nice... is there some misunderstanding here?"

"..."

Hearing Hearing Li Ang's words and finding no aura of lies on him, it seemed he truly believed this, the female investigator, who had just been full of mockery, couldn't help but stiffen her expression and said in disbelief:

"You... you actually think they are quite nice people?"

"Uh... is there a problem with that?"

Hearing Li Ang thought for a moment, then frowned and said:

"Although the Director's alcoholism is a bit severe, when sober she is shrewd and capable, has always taken good care of me, and occasionally treats me to drinks; Senior Emma is both gentle and meticulous; thanks to the precious experience she taught me, I was able to safely survive several crises;

As for Senior Jerry... he seems to have a somewhat bad stealing habit, but he is very generous and enthusiastic; I just helped him with a small favor, and he gave me anomalies and weapons, and carefully taught me the techniques; he is also a very good senior."

"..."

The Blood-Haired Princess, who is addicted to alcohol, treats you to drinks; the extremely fierce Corpse Executioner is gentle and patient with you; the Sewer Emperor doesn't steal from you but instead gives you things?

This damn... is it that you are living in a dream, or that I simply haven't woken up?

Listening to Hearing Li Ang's description of the Virgin Cleansing Bureau, where everyone is kind and harmonious, almost a paradise for newcomers, the heavy hostility on the female investigator's face unexpectedly dissipated completely, and she slumped, murmuring:

"You really are... damn it, just pretend I never said anything."

"???"

Seeing the female investigator cover her face with a file, lying on her back on the sofa, no longer moving, Hearing Li Ang was silent for a while, then couldn't help but turn his head to look at the old investigator beside him.

"Was anything I said wrong?"

"Right, all right."

Seeing Hearing Li Ang, who thrived in a place like the Virgin Cleansing Bureau and even saw everyone as a good person, the old investigator had no words, so she could only vaguely mumble a couple of replies, then silently unfolded the investigation form and wrote seven question marks in the psychological state column.

???????

This person's brain must have some problems!
