Chapter 149: Investigating Doubts (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 more dangerous, both the director and the seniors take good care of me. Everyone in the bureau is a good person."

"..."

Everyone in the bureau...are all good people?

After hearing Leon's words, the old investigator's mouth couldn't help but twitch 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 Unlucky Dice 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 anomalies that were rampant. 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 suffered from lung disease due to a leak of exhaust gas from an alchemy factory. She almost died in the hospital because she could not get the compensation she deserved.

The alchemy factory was an industry under the name of Lane Military Industry. The person in charge of the compensation incident at the Highway Department was also related to the Lane family by marriage and was 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 situation on the surface, 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 grudges with the Lane family.

At that time, 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.

But I didn't expect him to admit it directly. He might have a grudge against the Ryan family for being so outspoken. The Ryan family is so big that it's inevitable that he would have an intersection with them if he lived in the capital. In addition, the people who have a grudge against him are only some of the side branches, which is far from being a motive for launching the Ryan Blood Night.

The things I have investigated with great effort have become a pile of useless waste paper under the other party's initiative and frankness. At most, they can only serve as a little evidence...

Damn it, how can someone not shake off the suspicion in the face of investigation, but take the initiative to bring it to himself?

After biting her lips in annoyance, the female investigator quickly stuffed the file in her hand under her and said coldly:

"Next question, after the bloody night of Ryan, can you benefit from it?"

"Yes."

Lyon sighed and said:

"I am not capable enough to stop Bobby Ryan's atrocities. On the bloody night of Ryan, I was almost killed by him several times and was seriously injured.

However, I seem to be a member of the Ryan family. The inheritors of the title before me were all abolished by Bobby Ryan, so I was dragged over while I was recuperating and forcibly arranged to be the new duke. The inheritance ceremony will be on Tuesday."

After hearing what Lyon said, the female investigator couldn't help but be shocked. He sneered with the corner of his mouth:

"So you are admitting that you are the biggest beneficiary after the Ryan Bloody Night incident, right!"

"No."

Lyon shook his head and said:

"I have no interest in this title. Whether it is the wealth it represents or the power behind it, it has no meaning to me.

When the inheritance ceremony is held, I will propose to donate all the properties to the royal family in the form of marriage, so as to force them to replace someone else to inherit the title.

It happens that the inheritance ceremony is tomorrow. If you don't believe it, you can wait for another day to see if I will do it then."

"..."

Damn... He is willing to give up the entire Duke's family's property?

Seeing that Lyon's expression was not fake, and he seemed to be really ready to do this, the female investigator almost bit her lips. After closing her eyes and sensing the devilish aura all over Lyon, she clenched her fists hard, and finally couldn't help but sneered:

"Hehe, it sounds like a saint... But if you don't want anything, how do you explain this smell that is more evil than the devil?"
