Chapter 555: Intuition and Intuition

So... was I deceived by him?

After listening to the old investigator's conclusion, the young female investigator was stunned on the spot. It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, then she took out the investigation form with anger and tore what she had written into fragments!

"Don't be in a hurry."

A palm that was dark yellow and loose, covered with age spots, waved slightly. The fragments of paper miraculously flew back, reassembling into a complete investigation form, seamless and flat, without any trace of having been torn.

Taking the investigation form from the female investigator's hand, the old investigator bent his smiling moon eyes, laughed and teased:

"Aisha, didn't you think highly of him before? Why? Are you preparing to rewrite an investigation form now?"

"I... thank you for your teaching!"

The female investigator, whose face was a bit ugly, took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to the old investigator.

"I was too shallow this time. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by him. I am still too immature and have a lot to learn from you."

"Hehe, these things can't be learned."

The old investigator shook his head and smiled gently with curved eyebrows.

"Strictly speaking, all the judgments I just made have no evidence; they are all empty guesses. The way I judge that he has a problem is not out of practical logic, but some kind of feeling closer to the subconscious."

"Our investigation department's work wants to be done well, just like bank tellers, constantly contacting more 'real money.' If a person touches real money for a lifetime, when they occasionally encounter fake money, they don't necessarily need to discover anything; they will instinctively feel that the money in their hand is different from the real one."

"Our investigation work is the same. This subconscious sense of disharmony cannot be learned at all. Only after contacting enough people can one slowly master it with accumulation."

"I remember, Senior Camus!"

"Hehe, just remember it. I'll keep this investigation form. After I finish writing the investigation results later, I will attach it behind my investigation form and hand it in together."

???

Hearing that he was actually going to hand in her investigation form, the female investigator said anxiously:

"But my investigation was wrong, how can it be presented?"

"There are indeed errors, but being able to make a senior investigator like you make a mistake is in itself an excellent corroboration."

The old investigator smiled upon hearing this. While waving to a steam carriage on the side of the road, he explained:

"Just like you said just now, not everything can be reflected in the data."

"My investigation is a kind of 'problematic' intuition after contacting this person, and there is no evidence to speak of. But your investigation started completely from logic, and every judgment has evidence to support it. The credibility is actually higher than my investigation."

"Only by handing in your wrong investigation and comparing it one by one with my investigation results can those responsible for the review take it seriously and figure out what is wrong with this newcomer in the Virgo Branch... Aisha, you won't blame me for making you lose face, will you?"

"That won't happen... After all, I made a mistake, and it's only right for you to report it."

"Hehe, as long as you don't blame me... Hmm... In that case, since the investigation is over and the opinions are basically the same, let's walk together to here. Your carriage is here."

Hmm? My carriage?

The female investigator was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then asked with surprise:

"Are you not preparing to go back to the General Bureau with me?"

"Not going back yet."

After sending her into a two-seater luxury steam carriage, the old investigator said goodbye with a smile:

"I have an old friend here. It's hard to see each other usually. Before I came on this mission, I made an appointment with him to meet here, preparing to get together with him. I won't go back with you this time."

"Alright, take care of yourself." "You too."

Waving goodbye to the female investigator, after the carriage she was riding in went far away, the old investigator didn't wait for the so-called old friend but waved his hand again and summoned another empty steam carriage.

After sizing up the old investigator's attire and finding that the tailoring was quite exquisite, thinking he might be a big client, the carriage driver was overjoyed. After the old investigator boarded the carriage, he asked enthusiastically:

"Guest, where are you going?"

"Not sure, you go forward and stroll around first!"

"Good... good..."

Listening to the cold voice like ice shards in his ear, the carriage driver couldn't help but shudder, then couldn't help but peek at the guest who got on the carriage in the rearview mirror.

The eyes were long and thin, and the eyebrows and corners of the mouth were slightly tilted downward. Even when he didn't make any expression, it looked like he was about to cry.

This old man looks so gloomy... Forget it, whatever, as long as he has money to pay the fare~

"Director, that old investigator is actually quite good."

After recounting the inquiry process and the two investigation forms he saw with the help of Yuha, Li Ang asked curiously:

"He almost didn't ask any questions that were too difficult, and there was no malice toward you and me in his soul. Why did you remind me to be careful of him?"

"If I have to say the reason... it should be a kind of intuition."

The red-haired Director rubbed her temples upon hearing this, blinked her fox eyes, and said with a puzzled look:

"I can't explain this feeling well, but it's like in a box of twelve bottles of Margaux dry red, a bottle of second-label Margaux wine was secretly mixed in."

"Even if the taste is actually no different, and the grapes for brewing were grown just across a river, but after you drink too much, you will instinctively feel that the acidity is a bit wrong, and the alcohol will be a bit stronger."

"And he is like this bottle of wine mixed in. No matter how I taste it, the flavor is wrong, especially when I heard your call for help and he leaned over to wake me up. At that moment, I instinctively felt that I must not let this person get too close to me."

After finishing her feelings, the red-haired Director asked unwillingly:

"Li Ang, after you looked at his soul, did you really not find anything unusual?"

"Really nothing, his soul is completely normal."

"I see..."

The red-haired Director frowned:

"The soul is the most essential thing of a person. There shouldn't be any means that can be faked. It might be that he has something on him that can threaten me, so he makes me instinctively resist his approach..."

"Hmm... but you still have to be careful. This person has a subtle sense of disharmony. It's best not to have any contact with him."

"Okay, I remember."

Nodding slightly and earnestly keeping the red-haired Director's advice in mind, Li Ang said:

"Director, tomorrow is the succession ceremony, but I still have some official business to finish. If you have nothing to do here, I'll go back to the office first."

"Go back, go back, and don't call me 'you' (polite form) anymore. It sounds tiring... Oh, by the way."

Speaking of this, the red-haired Director seemed to have remembered something, lowered her head to search in the drawer, and took out a photo tied with hair and handed it over.

"Here, your thing."
