Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 44: Mind Reading and Recognition

After chatting with the regular customers of Old Charles Coffee Stand for a while, Leon, who was almost a billionaire's son-in-law, finally walked towards work cautiously in the cold wind of late autumn.

To this we can only say that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and this is not only reflected in the spirit, but also in the body.

In the original Lyon, even in the severe winter that could make people turn blue, people would still often get up early and try to find work to do. The coldness of late autumn was really just a small matter.

But after getting used to the warm little tent filled with sweet aroma, the fact that he couldn't sit by the fire to warm himself made him shiver and start jogging all the way until he reached the Cleanup Bureau building, where he stopped panting.

"Not bad, not bad, you are very energetic~"

From the window of the director's office on the first floor, I saw Leon jogging to work. The red-haired woman holding a cup of hot water pushed open the half-closed window, and her curvy upper body gently leaned on the windowsill. She smiled at Leon and asked with a smile:

"Little Leon~ How is the water company's investigation going? Did they find anything 'abnormal'?"

"..."

Although he knew that she was probably joking with him, she was not asking him whether he had found anything unusual, but whether he had successfully obtained evidence of the water company's illegal operations.

But when he thought of the blond middle-aged man from the Ryan family who had come into contact with the black goat's heart, Lyon's expression couldn't help but pause slightly.

"Ok?"

Sensitively noticing Leon's slight hesitation, the red-haired director's smile faded slightly, and he asked in surprise:

"Are there really traces of unusual objects at the water power company?"

"..."

You guessed it... Although there are abnormal objects over there, they are not the abnormalities that cause a large number of patients, but one of the seven goat offal that was lost after the black goat went to extremes.

Even though the Black Goat is dead now, he was still a big demon in the past. And I am a newcomer. Will the Cleanup Bureau allow me to keep two dangerous demonic anomalies at the same time?

"Um???"

Catching Leon's slight hesitation once again, the red-haired chief not only put away the smile on his face, but even narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

"Are you hesitating whether to report it to me? So this anomaly is a little special? And it's useful to you? But you may not be able to apply for it after reporting it?
Hmm... let me think... the anomaly you found in the water company, could it be the other parts that the dead sheep lost back then?"

"..."

No...I haven't said a single word yet!

Seeing the red-haired woman guessing the truth of the matter almost exactly with just two hesitations of less than a second, Leon, who was about to say something, fell silent for the third time.

This is too outrageous... Doesn't she have some abnormality like the ability to read minds?
"Don't worry, I can't read minds."

Oh, so you can't read my mind, then I can... fart! You can even hear what I'm thinking, and you still say you can't read my mind? !

Looking out the window at Leon, who was obviously startled and had a wary look in his eyes, the red-haired chief couldn't help but smile.

"I'm not lying to you. I really can't read minds."

After placing the still steaming cup on the windowsill, she held her cheek with her hand and explained with a smile:

"I used to play hide-and-seek with infected people hiding among ordinary people. I was used to judging others by their expressions and behaviors. And you are the type whose emotions are written on your face, so it just happened that I guessed you right a few times in a row."

"..."

I believe you!
Leon really didn't believe a single word of the explanation given by the red-haired chief.

Although I am not a shrewd person, I rarely show my emotions on my face. The neighbors in Laobing Lane all say that I am a quiet person. How could I be guessed right so many times in a row? She must be fooling me!
"Really? I'm not lying to you. Although you don't have many expressions, there are so many things in your eyes that they are about to overflow~"

Looking at Leon who was trying to keep a straight face despite having a lot of thoughts in his mind, the red-haired chief raised his lips and pointed at Leon's eyes. "For example, now... your eyes are filled with regret after I saw through you, and your vigilance and suspicion about whether I can really read your mind, as well as your relaxation and calmness of not having to hide it from me... well, and a little bit of lust that is hard to suppress."

After looking down at his collar which was slightly open due to leaning over, the red-haired director reached out to cover the exposed whiteness, then stood up lazily and stretched, smiling and hooking his finger at the somewhat embarrassed Leon.

"Come to my office and we can talk."

"..."

……

"So that's how it is... the heart of that dead sheep is actually in Ryan's house."

After having a good chat with Leon and listening to his findings at the hydraulic company, the red-haired director nodded with a look of sudden realization, and then gave Leon a new task without hesitation.

"We can't just leave something of this level unattended. We'd better find a way to sneak in and investigate. As for the reason..."

After looking at Leon’s face, the red-haired chief’s eyes lit up, and then he smiled and suggested:

"How about looking for relatives?"

"Looking for a relative?"

"Yes, looking for relatives! It just so happens that your last name is Ryan, isn't this the best excuse?"

Facing Leon’s surprised expression, the red-haired chief smiled and said:

"As long as you go there with your credentials from the Cleanup Bureau and say that you suspect you also have Ryan blood, you will have a bright future as an assistant-level civil servant at the age of 16 or 17. Even the famous Lionheart Duke's family will not reject you."

"But my hair isn't blonde..."

"Oh! Isn't the hair issue simple? Just dye it!"

"But I was going to report them..."

"Reporting is reporting, and recognizing is recognizing! There will be no delay!"

"..."

"If you really don't want to go, I can give you another task."

Seeing that Leon seemed to still want to refuse, the red-haired director, who had rarely found some fun, suddenly became stern. He took out a stack of task documents from the drawer of his desk and quickly lined them up on the table.

"It rained blood for two weeks in the Bovary Forest, and nearly a thousand animals died of thirst near the water source."

"A five-meter-tall monster appeared at Adolf's farm, wreaking havoc on the farm and injuring many people."

"A large number of ships have been wrecked in Lane County's ocean port. They may have been attacked by a large tribe of sea dwellers."

"The coal-fired field in the Hunhe Valley collapsed on a large scale, and it is suspected that tens of thousands of sand maggots hollowed out the mountain."

"These are the only tasks you can possibly complete for now. Take your pick!"

"..."

Weird blood rain, five-meter-high monsters, sea people living underwater, sand maggots that can hollow out a mountain...

After smacking his lips speechlessly, Leon "actively chose" with a helpless look in his eyes:

"Then I'd better go and recognize my relatives..."
