Chapter 777

6.

Looking at the female investigator who was flushed red from being scolded and almost fainted, Leon 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, the aggressiveness in its mouth was indeed full; he remembered that when he was investigated last time, there was such an incident, which also scolded the other party until they rolled their eyes, belonging to a special treasure for investigators.

"Alright, Aisha."

After looking at the arrogant sheep head in surprise, the old investigator stepped forward to be a peacemaker and persuaded gently:

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

"Alright..."

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

And after she left angrily, the elderly investigator with a gentle expression sat up straight, looked directly into Leon's eyes, and said with a peaceful tone:

"Mr. Leon, if I'm not mistaken, the death of the Hou Jue of Jin Juan has a direct cause with you, correct?"

Of course not!

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

"It seems you want to lie again."

After slightly opening his mouth and showing Leon his tongue that was emitting faint white light, the elderly investigator smiled and said:

"After returning from your side last time, I felt 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 with me, if your answer is a lie, then your tongue will be affected and unable to cooperate with you to give a false answer, so for our next conversation, please try your best to be frank."

An anomalous object that distinguishes lies?

After hearing the elderly investigator's words, Leon narrowed his eyes subconsciously and stared at his tongue.

Although due to the angle, he couldn't see very clearly, there was something similar to a "suture" in the middle of the other party's tongue.

The back half of the elderly investigator's tongue was completely normal and had no abnormalities, but the front half that was emitting white light seemed to have been air-dried, looking shriveled and atrophied; the tongue surface part could barely be considered intact, but the atrophy under the tongue was quite serious, and the deep cyan tongue tendons had already bulged out, looking quite terrifying.

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

A palm that was slightly damp reached out, and Senior Auntie Ai Ma's gentle voice drilled into Leon's soul along with the palms held together.

'This thing is an anomalous object made 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, as long as one has a little bit of Leon value, one can use it; the only cost is that one needs to replace one's original tongue, and there is an upper limit to the number of times it can be used.'

"Zzz..."

【Through Auntie Ai Ma Al-Man's detailed explanation, you have obtained a large amount of information about the "Tongue of Truth," and the different-colored badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated. Due to understanding the activation rules of the "Tongue of Truth," your resistance to this anomalous object has greatly increased, and you are already able to block deeper levels of influence】

Tongue of Truth?

After looking at the pop-up prompt, Leon held Auntie Ai Ma's palm back and asked through the connection between souls:

'Others? Is there any other information?'

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

Auntie Ai Ma blinked with some incomprehension upon hearing this, but out of trust in Leon, 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 accumulated total number of uses reaches the number of all the truths the Grand Speaker said during his lifetime, this thing will wither by itself.

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

In short, Leon, don't pay attention to him anymore, my Leon value is much higher than his, the effect of this thing on me will be weaker, let me answer the next questions!'

"Zzz..."

【Through Auntie Ai Ma Al-Man's detailed explanation... already able to block extremely deep levels of influence】

'It's okay, let me answer.'

After patting Senior Auntie Ai Ma's palm comfortingly, Leon moved his tongue, which was still somewhat stiff, and said with a somewhat strange but fluent accent:

"Alright, next, I will try my best to be frank... Additionally, the Hou Jue of Jin Juan was not killed by me, and there is no relationship at all, you really investigated the wrong person."

?!!

After hearing Leon's answer, the elderly investigator's eyebrows jumped fiercely, then he immediately tightened the muscles at his jaw and pushed 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 piece bulged visibly on his chin, Leon's words instead became smoother, and he even took the initiative, with a slightly disgusted expression:

"Additionally, I don't know what's wrong with you, in the case of clearly having no evidence, not only did you aggressively find me, but you also used some very offensive questions to accuse me, and even specifically prepared corresponding anomalous objects.

But no matter how hard you plan, innocent people are innocent in the end; regarding the matter of the Hou Jue of Jin Juan committing suicide by jumping into the lake, I have had a clear conscience from beginning to end, you can investigate if you want, but Senior Auntie Ai Ma and I didn't even touch a finger of his.

And you, without any evidence, want to frame the matter on us; I suspect you are related to the Aquarius Director, after this conversation ends, I will immediately file a complaint with the General Bureau, requesting a strict investigation of your background and whereabouts!"

"..."

No... don't you know what you did yourself? How dare you investigate me?

His tongue was almost broken, and he couldn't suppress Leon's righteous speech; the muscles on the elderly investigator's two cheeks tightened suddenly, and he began to doubt whether the 【Tongue of Truth】 was broken.

Before coming, he had already investigated the Cuiyu Manor first, and secretly used the 【Ritual Pocket Watch】 to backtrack the situation that day.

This righteous dog thing before him sneaked into the manor at night after knocking down the guards, stood at the Hou Jue of Jin Juan's door for more than ten minutes, and then the Hou Jue of Jin Juan had nightmares all night, and jumped into the lake the next day!

Damn it! If this matter could be separated from him, then he would take out the 【Ritual Pocket Watch】 and chew it into pieces and eat it on the spot!
