Chapter 149 Investigating Suspicions (Part 2)

Is this... asking me to be careful about him?

After receiving the reminder from the red-haired director, Leon suddenly couldn't help but look stern.

Unlike last night's "Drunken Limited Edition", the current director has sobered up and returned to his normal state. At this time, the director is quite reliable.

So she told herself to be careful about this old investigator, so she must have a reason! Even the deliberate "provoking trouble" just now was probably based on considerations, and her reminder must not be ignored!
"By the way, Mr. Lyon."

Oblivious to the fact that he had been "marked", after waiting for a few seconds without seeing Leon taking the initiative to talk, the old investigator turned around and asked in a gentle manner:

"I looked at your file. You've been employed for more than a month, right? Are you still used to staying in the Maiden Branch?"

"I'm quite used to it."

After secretly switching out the [Elite Performer] badge, Leon suppressed the vigilance in his eyes, smiled and replied: "Although there are fewer people in the bureau, and the work content is also more dangerous, But both the director and the seniors take good care of me, and everyone in the bureau is a good person.”

"..."

Everyone in the bureau...are all good people?
After hearing Leon's words, the old investigator couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

If it were another investigator, he might not know much about the situation of the virgin cleanup bureau, but he, who has been investigating many times in the past few years, knows very well that although the people in the virginity branch of the cleanup bureau are not very evil, they are afraid of good people. It's not very relevant.

Not to mention the Blood-haired Princess who is capable of ruthlessly destroying a country and killing over 100 million people, Tom the Luck Siccer and Emma the Executioner, two first-level disaster handlers, are also frequent visitors to the investigation department.

The former had obviously violated numerous rules but acted extremely carefully, and the bureau couldn't find any evidence. The latter's methods were too ruthless and cruel. After completing the cleanup task, the scene was scarier than the anomalous objects. He was warned repeatedly but still remained stubborn.

That leaves Harry the Tape Man, Jerry the Sewer Emperor, Pioni the Silver Demon, and Ameen the Poison Apothecary... none of these second-level ones are good at all. In those large-scale joint missions involving cross-precinct law enforcement, They are all existences that people hate and dogs hate, and basically no one wants to pay attention to them.

To be honest, the biggest reason why these guys can stay in the Maiden Cleanup Bureau for several years is probably not the personal charm of the Blood-haired Princess, but that other branches are not willing to accept them at all. Nowhere to go.

And a guy who can get along well with such a group of people, and even thinks from the bottom of his heart that they are all good people...

Looking at Leon, who had a handsome face and a gentle smile, and looked like an ordinary civil servant in the kingdom, except for his slightly thin figure, the old investigator couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then secretly sensed Leon's aura.

The demonic flames are surging into the sky... As expected, someone who can get along with these people cannot be a normal person.

Feeling the aura behind him that was no different from an ordinary demon, but even more ferocious and dark, the old investigator couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and had already begun to think about the nickname of this new employee of the Maiden Bureau.

This man has a very high physical affinity for demon-type anomalies. He looks thin and elegant, just like the intellectuals in the university. He also proposed a method for measuring anomalies called Lyon Value. He seems to be quite good at research... …

Otherwise...just call me a demonologist!
……

Not knowing that the old investigator was secretly giving him a nickname, Leon followed him into his office. He first asked the two investigators to sit on the sofa, then he brought a chair and sat on the opposite side, and he took the initiative to speak in a cooperative manner. road:

"You two, if you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Then I'll start."

At this time, the female investigator had controlled her emotions. Although her face was still cold, her previous tense attitude was no longer the same. Instead, she took out a stack of information and flipped through it, then said with a businesslike look:
" The first question is whether you have any personal grudges with the Lane family, especially Bobby Lane who controls the Heart of Ambition."

"This...I don't know if it counts..."

Leon hesitated after hearing this, but still said truthfully:

"Before joining the Cleanup Bureau, my sister once suffered from lung disease due to the leakage of exhaust gas from the alchemy factory. She almost died in the hospital because she could not get the compensation she deserved. And that alchemy factory is an industry under the name of Lane Military Industry, Road Administration The person responsible for the compensation incident is also related to the Lane family by marriage and is considered a member of the Lane family.

Although they are just a branch of the Lane family, if you think about it that way, I should have some grudges with the Lane family. "

"..."

Hearing Leon's frank answer, the female investigator couldn't help but be slightly startled. Then she looked down at the file in her hand and bit her lip unwillingly.

These things Leon mentioned happened to be what she had worked hard to find out today.

According to the apparent situation, the other party had no substantial interaction with the Lane family before the Lane Blood Night, so in order to avoid suspicion, he would probably directly deny any grievances with the Lane family.

When the time comes, as long as I say these things, I will be able to expose his "lies" and "cover ups", and then in subsequent inquiries, I can raise more "reasonable" questions about his answers.

Unexpectedly, he actually admitted directly that he might have a grudge against the Lane family. Since the Lane family’s stall was so big, it would be inevitable to interact with them if they lived in the royal capital. In addition, the only people who had grudges against him were some The collateral connection is far from being the motive for launching Ryan’s Bloody Night.

The things I had worked so hard to investigate had turned into a pile of useless waste paper due to the other party's initiative and frankness. At most, it could only serve as a little supporting evidence...

Damn it, how could someone refuse to get rid of the suspicion in the face of an investigation and take the initiative to lead him to him?

After biting her lip in annoyance, the female investigator shoved the file in her hand down, and then said with a cold face:

"The next question is, after Ryan's Bloody Night, can you benefit from it?"

"Yes."

Leon sighed and said: "I was not capable enough and failed to stop Bobby Lane's atrocities. On the day of Lane's Bloody Night, I was almost killed by him several times and was seriously injured.

However, I seem to be a member of the Lane family. The knights in front of me were all deposed by Bobby Lane, so I was dragged over while I was recuperating and forcibly arranged to be the new duke. Tuesday is the knighthood ceremony. . "

After hearing Leon's words, the female investigator couldn't help but feel refreshed, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "So you have admitted that you are the biggest beneficiary after the Ryan Blood Night incident, right?"

"wrong."

Leon shook his head and said:

“I have no interest in this title, neither the wealth it represents nor the power behind it means anything to me.

When the knighthood ceremony takes place, I will propose to donate all the property to the royal family through marriage, thereby forcing them to replace the title with someone else.

Tomorrow happens to be the knighthood ceremony. If you don't believe it, you can wait one more day and see if I will do it then. "

"..."

Damn it... you're actually willing to give up the entire Duke family's fortune?

Seeing that Leon's expression didn't seem to be fake, and seemed to be really preparing to do this, the female investigator almost bit her lip. After closing her eyes and sensing the demonic aura all over Leon's body, she clenched her fists hard, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stopped and sneered:

"Haha, he sounds like a saint... But if you don't want anything, how can you explain this smell that is more evil than a devil?"
