"I called you Mr. out of politeness or before, but judging by your age, you are probably only a teenager. Is it rare to have such a keen grasp of language at a young age?"

The big sister Hei Changzhi in front of her obviously didn't answer Lin Ran's question directly, but brought the topic back to Lin Ran herself with a smile.

"It doesn't seem to matter how old I am, and some people just look younger. I may be this type, but what is more important now is whether our two encounters were a coincidence or was it intentional?"

At this time, Lin Ran's tone became a little burning, and his eyes became very sharp, constantly observing the micro-expressions on the face of the woman in front of him, not wanting to miss any clues.

"Well, it seems that you are still very wary of me, little brother. In a short period of time, we may not be able to communicate normally, but out of politeness, we have talked so much, so we don't want to be a mutual self. Introduction, isn't it inappropriate?"

"In that case, let me go first. My name is Chen Nuo. As for my identity..."

It's just that the lady who called herself Chen Nuo hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted coldly by Lin Ran.

"Your identity must be a member of the adjudication mission sent from the magic kingdom, I guess there should be no mistake!"

Hearing Lin Ran's answer that was so close to the correct answer, Chen Nuo obviously showed a hint of surprise on her face. She looked at the boy with the same hair color as the person in her memory with a little interest, and said with a light smile.

"I'm a little surprised at your cleverness, little brother, how do you know?"

Chen Nuo who said this subconsciously admitted that Lin Ran's guess just now was correct.

"Because I have inside information. It's a big deal for the adjudication mission to be sent to Jinling City for inspection. The director of the War Strategy Bureau is crazy about this matter. How can we little people not know about it?"

Lin Ran's movements were the same as before, with his hands resting on his chin with a lazy look.

"Then your identity is..."

"The staff of the War Strategy Bureau, name Lin Ran, job title, underground beast investigation intelligence officer, as for the authenticity of the information, I think you inspectors can also check through the internal network of the War Strategy Bureau later."

"Oh, so we are considered colleagues?"

Promise was a little surprised that the young man in front of him reported his identity so skillfully. She thought there must be some secrets about the man with the silver hair. She didn't expect that after such a conversation, there would be nothing wrong with the other party's speech and words.

But all of this is just a judgment at this stage, and what the other party said, although it seems that there are no loopholes for the time being, it does not mean that it is true, everything needs to be determined after investigation.

"Sorry, the two of us don't seem to be on the same team. You are a member of the ruling mission sent by His Royal Highness of the Magic Kingdom, so no matter how low your status is, you are still an investigator. I am just a low-ranking investigation intelligence officer. I will be promoted according to my level. You are my superior, and I am just a laborer..."

Lin Ran's voice has always been relatively cold from the very beginning until now. Perhaps this is his personal habit. After all, investigators of this kind of work deal with magical things all day long, and their personality will always be affected. Chen Nuo felt this way, and he didn't think much of it.

"Whether it's the superior or the subordinate, we all belong to the same work unit."

Chen Nuo still wanted to continue to narrow the distance between the two, but Lin Ran coldly interrupted the woman's approach.

"The units we work in are not the same unit. Your work area is the high-ranking magic kingdom, and our work belongs to the troublesome war strategy bureau. Please make this point clear, Comrade Chen Nuo."

Looking at the obvious alienation in the other party's eyes, Chen Nuo sighed helplessly, but he didn't mean to blame the other party in his heart, after all, he was the one who got close first.

"Since you know that I am an investigator, as a member of the War Strategy Bureau, I should have the right to ask you some work-related questions, Comrade Lin Ran."

Since the other party is really unwilling to get closer to me, there is no need to force it. I came here for news and useful evidence. The employee named Lin Ran in front of me is clear about the relationship between the two in terms of positions. Then it is better to directly use the convenience of the position to ask face to face.

"Tell me, I'll tell you what I know."

Lin Ran nodded and had no objection to this, as if he was just a good employee who had a cold personality but still obeyed the rules.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Then my first question is to ask Mr. Lin Ran, why is your hair silver?"

The first question was so important that even Lin Ran, who was prepared in his heart, couldn't help but frown.

Chapter 14 Master Fight

"I think you said it yourself just now, you have the right to ask me some questions about work supremacy, but you asked me about the color of my hair, this should involve privacy, right?"

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Nuo with an unkind expression.

"Of course, but I also remember that in the staff manual of the War Strategy Bureau, it is clearly stipulated that there are strict requirements on the hairstyles of working staff, and they are not allowed to be dyed in colors other than black. If the color of Mr. Lin Ran's hair is not due to work If it turns silver, then it means that you admit that you have violated the working regulations of the employees and dyed your hair silver..."

Facing Lin Ran's questioning, Chen Nuo asked back without any panic.

Damn, is there such a rule in the Staff Manual of the War Strategy Bureau?Why didn't I know, oh, I added it temporarily, so it's okay... No, and you, an investigator from the Judgment Mission, why are you so bored to read the contents of the local employee handbook?Even free enough to write down the above content.

But facing the big sister who was always smiling in front of him, Lin Ran dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. With such a keen and powerful ability to counter language and skills, it seems that this girl is not a novice!At the beginning, Lin Ran had some bets that the other party was a novice who had just come out to take over the work. After all, in this kind of investigation sent by the magic kingdom, a large number of the missions were newcomers with no work experience. It was the first time to try to accumulate work experience. Newcomers like this have an obvious thing in common. They all seem to be full of air, but in fact they don’t have much confidence in their hearts. As long as they show a tough attitude when facing them, sometimes they will be very angry. It is possible to counter the opponent. After all, a newcomer who has never seen anything in the world can easily be fooled by some false aura...

But obviously, the lady sitting in front of Lin Ran is definitely not a newcomer. With her old-fashioned gaze and extremely capable language skills, she can be seen as a difficult guy who often wins the Outstanding Investigator Award.

At this time, the other party countered him with the regulations of the employees of the War Strategy Bureau. If he couldn’t give any reasonable explanation, he explained that he had violated the rules. If he violated the rules, he suffered a disadvantage in terms of reason.

"Heh, Miss Chen Nuo's language is really sharp. It's really a great official authority to put the hat of violating the regulations on my head as soon as we met!"

Lin Ran tried his best to lower his voice, making himself look like a difficult person to deal with.

Facing the other party's obvious ridicule, Miss Chen Nuo smiled indifferently.

"Is there? I'm just stating a fact. If Mr. Lin Ran's hair turns silver due to work, then I will apologize to you."

Lin Ran stared closely at the woman in front of him, his facial expression changed, and after finding that there was no loophole, he sighed slowly and shook his head.

"Okay, okay, you people who come down from the top always like to ask questions, as if you have to take care of everything, but since this is the right that your job gives you, then I have an obligation to cooperate... Regarding the hair, it is indeed caused by work..."

While speaking, Lin Ran turned his head and looked out of the window. In the distance, the city center was still being repaired.

"You ruled that the mission should have received news that our city has been seriously attacked before coming to Jinling?"

After hearing this, Chen Nuo nodded affirmatively.

"Indeed, but we only received the specific news in the last two days. It seems that Jinling City's War Strategy Bureau will be attacked. The information in this regard was uploaded relatively late."

"That's because the attack happened so suddenly that none of our staff in the War Strategy Bureau had time to react. That's why our entire information and intelligence team was in confusion at the time. Finally, we had time to sort out and report it after the battle was over."

"Then, about the news about the battle, can Mr. Lin Ran reveal it to me in detail?"

Regarding the attack on Jinling City, Chen Nuo naturally knew about it, but she was limited to knowing that the city was attacked more seriously this time, but the specific information was really unclear.

"This time, the existence that attacked the city was not a strange beast, but a man-made and diffused pollution."

When hearing the word pollution, Miss Chen Nuo, who was originally calm, suddenly became serious.

"Pollution, are you sure it's really pollution?"

"Sure, sure, why can't I be sure, I was the first person to notice that the thing was spreading, and my body shape and hair problems were all changed due to the pollution..."

"Is Mr. Lin Ran polluted by the polluted air?"

It was obvious that Chen Nuo was always very concerned about the information related to the word pollution.

"Well, yes, that night I found through the magic scanner that there were unknown magic power fluctuations in the area under my investigation jurisdiction, so I went to check, and later, in an alley, I found a man in black releasing the magic power in the bottle. The dark mist produced the magic that I checked in my instrument."

Lin Ran continued to narrate the situation at that time, and at the same time, with strong control in his eyes, the look of memories slowly emerged.

"That guy was very skillful and escaped my tracking, and I was also attacked by the black mist he released during the pursuit, but fortunately, according to our work regulations, I have to wear protective clothing during working hours, so the pollution I suffered is not that deep, but it has also affected my body. After treatment by the internal doctors and machines of the War Strategy Bureau, I am now temporarily determined to be cured.

Hearing these, Chen Nuo nodded thoughtfully. What Lin Ran said was reasonable and possible. The work of investigating intelligence personnel is indeed a bit dangerous, and they are subject to special injuries like pollution. The treatment of giving holiday observation is also in line with the regulations.

"It turns out that's the case. Then, is it also caused by pollution that caused so much damage inside the city?"

"Of course. Since that incident happened, I naturally reported it to the organization. However, even with active preparations and evacuation work, the ability to spread the pollution was still too strong. In the end, the pollution from a large number of people gathered to form a huge source of pollution. At the same time, the area where we fought against it was also in the city center."

After hearing Lin Ran's detailed explanation, Chen Nuo's inner doubts became reasonable. Afterwards, she showed a deep apology on her face, stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Ran.

"Sorry, Mr. Lin Ran, I have maliciously speculated about your behavior before, and I sincerely apologize for this previous behavior."

At this time, Chen Nuo had shown that he was completely convinced by Lin Ran, and the crisis seemed to be over simply like that... But is this really the case?

Chapter 15 Extreme Sophistry

As if feeling the other party's sincere apology, Lin Ran sighed, then waved his hand and said.

"Forget it, judging you is also the reason for working too hard, but next time, don't consider others from a malicious perspective. It's very impolite."

Following Lin Ran's steps, the apology ended like this. Since the conversation was reasonable and he accepted it, everything should have ended satisfactorily, and the crisis seemed to have been resolved. However, things in the world are not so simple...

Just when Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up and pay the money, and leave this ghostly place where they met again, Chen Nuo in front of him stopped him again.

"Mr. Lin Ran, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Why, if you don't leave, you still continue to buy me something to drink?"

"If it's such a request, it's okay. After all, I misunderstood Mr. Lin Ran before. Treating you to a drink is an expression of my small apology!"

Chen Nuo still looked at him with that big sister lovingly looking at her little brother with a smile.

"Sorry, I refuse..."

Lin Ran narrowed her eyes and answered coldly.

"Hey, why? Obviously I just want to express my apology to you. Do you really hate me so much?"

"Yes, your smell is very annoying to me, so I don't want to spend more time with you."

Looking at that beautiful and attractive face, Lin Ran admitted without hesitation.

"Oh, is that right? That's a pity. I still want to have a good conversation with Mr. Lin Ran."

"Is your question about work over? Then I have fulfilled my obligation to answer. Since there are no questions about work, I will leave first."

Let's talk, Lin Ran turned his head and wanted to leave this place he shouldn't have come to.

But at this time, Chen Nuo's voice still came over, but this time, the meaning of this sentence was that Lin Ran's raised steps forward stopped abruptly in mid-air.

"Mr. Lin Ran is in such a hurry to leave, so let me ask the last question, which is about your sister..."

When it comes to family members, Lin Ran is always very concerned. Even if the other party has a possibility, it is just bluffing his own possibility, but he must deal with it with all his strength.

Seeing Lin Ran turn around, Chen Nuo still had that calm and leisurely smile on his face.

"What do you want to ask about my sister?"

When Lin Ran returned to his position with a cold face, Chen Nuo continued to ask.

"It's nothing. It's just that after listening to Mr. Lin Ran's explanation of his hair color, combined with some news I heard from the salesman just now, I suddenly have some new doubts."

"For example, what?"

"For example, I heard the salesman in the clothing store say that the hair color of your brother and sister is also silver. Since Mr. Lin Ran's hair is silver because of work, your original hair color should be black. Normal people's family genes should not have silver hair color. Then how can you explain your sister's hair color?"

Lin Ran looked at the woman in front of him, and sighed softly. This guy just grasped the question of hair color and never let it go. This kind of special attention treatment will not disappear.

"My sister's hair color was thought to be silver by the salesperson because she was wearing a wig at the time."

Lin Ran explained without changing his face.

"Do you wear a wig when you go shopping for clothes?"

"My younger sister likes cosplay more. When cosplaying many anime characters, it's normal to wear a wig."

"But when I go shopping for clothes, I still wear cosplay clothes and a wig, which is a bit unreasonable!"

Chen Nuo asked back.

"Who told you that my sister went shopping for clothes?"

"Hey, didn't you buy clothes for your sister? Did I hear wrong?"

"Yeah, it's true that I buy clothes for my sister, but as an older brother, I buy clothes for my sister. Does my sister have to be present?"

Chen Nuo couldn't understand Lin Ran's words immediately.

"When your sister buys clothes, she doesn't go to the clothing store herself, but does your brother buy it alone?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Chen Nuo, you may not understand the reason of my family. My sister's occupation is not an ordinary student, but a magical girl. She was in a coma due to a previous battle injury, and she is still hospitalized in the hospital inside the War Strategy Bureau. How can a person who is comatose and hospitalized buy clothes in person?"

The newly obtained information made Chen Nuo's eyes light up at that moment, but she soon discovered something was wrong.

"If your sister didn't come to the clothing store in person, how would the salesperson know that your sister's hair is silver?"

"That's because I asked the waiter in the clothing store to pick out two clothes for me, but I'm a big boy, and I don't know what kind of clothes a girl wears, so I showed the salesperson a photo and asked her Pick out clothes like they look in my sister's photo."

"In terms of photos, isn't it better to show your sister in a normal state? Why do you want to show the salesman your sister wearing a silver wig?"

At this time, Chen Nuo could be said to not let go of every possible loophole in Lin Ran's words.

"That's because, because..."

Having said this, Lin Ran's tone suddenly became low, and he lowered his head slightly and buried his eyes, with a hint of loneliness appearing in his eyes.

"Because there is only one photo in my phone..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Nuo who was sitting across from him was also a little shocked. A brother bought so many clothes for his younger sister, but there was only one photo of his younger sister in his phone. Is this reasonable?

Lin Ran raised his head, looked at Chen Nuo's unbelievable expression, and then smiled bitterly. He gently reached out his hand and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and then opened the photo album. At this time, the first picture in the photo album was a girl wearing a silver wig wearing a simple cosplay skirt and smiling sideways.

Lin Ran stroked the screen of the phone with his hand, as if he was touching the girl in reality, a gentle smile that a brother should have slowly appeared on his face.

"As the only photo, I also secretly took it in a corner when she didn't know it during my spare time from work..."
