Chapter 374: Wagging your lips and blustering your tongue
6.
Seeing the female investigator whose face was red and almost suffocated due to being scolded, Leon couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the black goat, and decided to buy it a few more packs of Goat after get off work.
Although the Black Goat's "attack power" is a little lacking, its verbal aggression is indeed full. I remember that there was such an incident when it was investigated last time. It also scolded the other party so much that he rolled his eyes. It was a special weapon for investigators.
"Okay, Elsa."
After looking at the arrogant Sheep Head in surprise, the old investigator spoke up to be a peacemaker and advised gently:
"Let's stop here with the routine questions. After all, we haven't got any solid evidence yet, so it's a bit presumptuous to ask directly... You go out and get some fresh air first, and I'll take care of the rest."
"OK……"
After hearing the old investigator's dissuasion, the female investigator clenched her fists, then pursed her lips and nodded, and left the office with reluctance in her eyes.
After she walked out angrily, the gentle old investigator sat up straight, looked directly into Leon's eyes, and said in a calm voice:
"Mr. Lyon, if I'm not mistaken, the death of the Marquis of Jinjuan is directly related to you, right?"
of course not!
Lyon, who had already prepared himself mentally, instinctively wanted to shake his head to deny it, but he found that his tongue was slightly stiff, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it at all.
"It seems like you want to lie again."
After slightly opening his mouth and showing Leon his tongue that was glowing with a faint white light, the old investigator smiled and said:
"After returning from your visit last time, I felt that my skills were not good enough, so I applied to the General Administration for an abnormal object used to identify lies, and used it to replace my original tongue.
If your answer is a lie when you are talking to me, your tongue will be affected and will not be able to cooperate with you to give a false answer, so please try to be honest in our next conversation. "
Anomalies that detect lies?
After listening to the old investigator's words, Leon subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at his tongue.
Although it is not very clear due to the angle, there is something like a "suture line" in the middle of the other person's tongue.
The back half of the old investigator's tongue was completely normal, with nothing abnormal. However, the front half, which was glowing white, seemed to have been dried out by the wind, and looked shriveled and shrunken. The surface of the tongue was barely intact, but the sublingual part was severely shrunk, and the dark blue tongue muscles had bulged out, looking quite scary.
"Be careful, this is the Tongue of Sincerity!"
A slightly damp hand grasped up, and Senior Emma's gentle voice, along the two people's clasped hands, penetrated into Leon's soul.
'This thing is an anomaly created by the fourth-generation Golden Bull Director. He sneaked into the cemetery of the True Word Church, dug up the grave of their first-generation Grand Speaker, and took this tongue from the corpse.
The first Grand Speaker never told a lie from birth to death, so the anomaly created with his tongue can force others to be like him and only answer with the truth.
Moreover, the consumption of this thing is very low. Anyone with a little Lyon value can use it. The only price is that you need to replace your original tongue, and there is a limit to the number of times it can be used.'
"Zi..."
[Through Emma Alman's detailed explanation, you have obtained a lot of information about the "Tongue of Sincerity", and the special-colored badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" has been activated. Because you understand the effectiveness rules of the "Tongue of Sincerity", your resistance to this abnormal object has increased significantly, and you can now block deeper influences.]
A tongue of honesty?
After looking at the pop-up prompt, Leon shook Emma's hand in return and asked through the connection between souls:
"What else? Any other information?"
Yes, there are...but why are you asking?
Emma blinked in confusion, but out of trust in Leon, she quickly explained through the connection between souls:
'There are still some...
According to the calculations of the fourth generation of Taurus directors, when the total number of uses reaches the number of times the great speaker has said all the truths during his lifetime, this thing will dry up on its own.
So almost three hundred years ago, this thing was sealed by the director at that time, and it would only be taken out when it was very important. I don't know how he got it.
Anyway, Leon, don't pay any attention to him from now on. My Leon value is much higher than his, so this thing will have a weaker effect on me. Let me answer the next question!'
"Zi..."
[Through Emma Alman’s detailed explanation… I have been able to block out extremely deep influences.]
"It's okay. Let me answer it."
After patting Senior Emma's palm comfortingly, Leon stretched his still stiff tongue and spoke fluently with a slightly strange accent:
"Okay, next time, I will try to be honest... In addition, I didn't kill Marquis Jinjuan, and it didn't even matter to me. You really checked the wrong person."
？ ！！
After hearing Leon's answer, the old investigator's eyebrows twitched violently, and then he immediately tightened the muscles in his jaw and pushed the root of his tongue very hard, trying to suppress this obviously nonsense.
However, no matter how hard he tried, even his chin bulged visibly, but Leon's words became smoother and smoother, and he even took the initiative, saying with a slightly disgusted look:
"Also, I don't know what's wrong with you. When there's clearly no evidence, you not only came to me aggressively and accused me with some very offensive questions, but you even specially prepared the corresponding abnormal objects.
But no matter how deliberate you are, an innocent person is innocent after all. Regarding the matter of Marquis Jinjuan committing suicide by jumping into the lake, I have had a clear conscience from beginning to end. You can investigate if you want. Senior Emma and I never even touched him.
And you want to pin the matter on us without any evidence. I suspect you are related to Director Aquarius. After this conversation, I will immediately file a complaint with the General Administration and request a strict investigation of your background and whereabouts!"
"..."
No... Don't you know what you did? How dare you investigate me?
His tongue was about to break, and he was unable to suppress Leon's righteous speech. The old investigator couldn't help but clench his cheek muscles suddenly, and began to doubt whether the [Tongue of Honesty] was broken.
Before coming here, I had already investigated at Cuiyu Manor and secretly used the [Yicheng Pocket Watch] to recall the circumstances of that day.
This righteous-looking bastard in front of me knocked down the guard and sneaked into the manor at night. He stood at the door of Marquis Jinjuan for more than ten minutes. After that, Marquis Jinjuan had nightmares all night and jumped into the lake the next day!
Damn it! If I could get rid of this matter from him, I would take out the [Agenda Pocket Watch], chew it up and eat it on the spot!
