"After we wrap up this case, I'll treat everyone to a good meal! I'll give everyone a holiday! And I'll hand out a big red envelope to each person!"People always have desires. No matter in which era or world, work is for the sake of a better life. Especially in times of chaos with no unified government and without so much sense of homeland, there are only eight words that matter: survive and live well! Therefore, offering money, vacations, and meals is the simplest and most effective way to win people's hearts and boost morale! So, visibly, the likes of Cao Dabiao, Ding Xiaoliu, and Zhu Huoyan all showed expressions of joy on their faces. One after another they shouted, "Thank you, commander!" "Thanks, Chief!" "Thanks, Brother Tu!" louder than the next! In front of Qiu Tu, a series of prompts like [Loyalty +1, +2] popped up. Qiu Tu, seeing this, paid no mind but continued, "As for the case, you all don't need to worry." "I will personally review the case and strive to clarify everything today." Maybe because Qiu Tu's statement was too exaggerated, his confidants, one by one, all looked a bit surprised. 'Clear up the case today?' 'How could that be possible?' Most of the confidants present were members of the investigative team, so they knew just how perplexing and complex the case was. The deceased had no fatal injuries, no residue of lethal drugs; the cause of death was sudden cardiac arrest. In these chaotic times, this was almost an insoluble mystery. And although the fact that the deceased was a spy within the anti-government armed forces was certainly established, her superiors and subordinates had not yet been exposed. Everyone knew that collusion with the anti-government armed forces was a capital offence. So... even if the suspects caught today really included her superiors and subordinates, they would not admit it to save their own lives. Thus... most investigators considered this case a long-term tug of war; this was the source of their anxiety. Now, Qiu Tu suddenly claimed he could solve the case today? Even though during this time, Qiu Tu had built up a great image in everyone's hearts, they couldn't help but doubt it the first thing in their minds... Among the confidants, the most tactful Cao Dabiao even took the initiative to offer Qiu Tu an out. He said with a sly grin, "Commander, don't set such an exaggerated plan. We know you're mighty, and we believe you can do it, but it will also put a lot of pressure on us." "Let's take our time investigating, shall we not be too hasty?" Qiu Tu, being a perceptive person, immediately understood Cao Dabiao's thinking upon hearing his words. After scanning the eyes of the investigators present and seeing through their thoughts, he did not refute Cao Dabiao's kindness but instead went along with it and said, "Haha, alright. Since you've brought it up, then we'll take our time and not rush." "That's more like it, Commander!" Cao Dabiao chuckled "hehe," behaving very obsequiously. Qiu Tu laughed and patted his shoulder before once again scanning the investigators present. Indeed, hearing that Qiu Tu had withdrawn his exaggerated plan, all the investigators couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no longer so worried. Seeing this reaction, Qiu Tu did not say much. He knew his confidants had his best interests at heart. But... what they did not know was that Cataclysmics and ordinary people truly had an unbridgeable chasm between them! To them, a case that seemed incredibly difficult, to Qiu Tu, might be incredibly simple. Thinking thus, Qiu Tu pondered briefly before calling out a few names, "Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Eagle, Ah-Kun." As Qiu Tu called their names, the four confidants stepped forward. Qiu Tu instructed, "You will join me in interrogating the prisoners." "Yes, Brother Tu!" "Yes, Commander!" all four responded. Qiu Tu then turned to Liu Fuping, who had slipped in unnoticed at some point, and summoned, "Liu Fuping, Ding Xiaoliu, Zhu Huoyan!" Upon hearing Qiu Tu's call, the three stepped forward. Qiu Tu instructed, "You will be in charge of managing the external work. Escorting and guarding the prisoners, these responsibilities will all fall to you." "I have only one requirement: ensure there is a continuous flow of prisoners in the interrogation room!" Stay connected via empire "My time is precious! It cannot be wasted!" The three clearly did not fully grasp Qiu Tu's meaning, but still nodded their heads and agreed, "Yes, Commander!" After these arrangements, Qiu Tu called out a few other names. Some were instructed to prepare the interrogation room, others to set up recording equipment, and yet others to coordinate with the Special Service Department, ready to mobilize at any moment to search for evidence. In short, he meticulously arranged everything down to the smallest detail. And among these preparations, perhaps the most peculiar was this: for such an important case, Qiu Tu chose not to use a large interrogation room but specifically requested a small one of only a few square meters... Yet, trusting in Qiu Tu, the investigators raised no objections and began preparations following Qiu Tu's directions. Soon, the entire investigative team was running as smoothly and swiftly as clockwork... ..... Meanwhile, at the same time. Emerald Fort, the observation deck on the 6th floor of the racetrack. As an area accessible only to the real power figures like the Deputy Director, the Bureau Chief, the members of the Municipal Committee, and the City Hall, it was subtly yet lavishly decorated. Apart from the public area's hall, almost every bigwig who could enter this level had a separate suite. Inside, every conceivable item was available, and should there be any additional needs, the staff of the Emerald Fort would even go out and make purchases directly. At this moment, Tang Feifei was sitting in her suite, quietly sipping wine while listening to the report of her assistant, Su Xiaowan. "Bureau Chief, Chief Qiu acted exceptionally swiftly this time. In just a few short minutes, he managed to arrest all the Four Major Transportation Merchants, Director Qin Zhengguang, and Third Master Qin." "And that's not all. I found out that Chief Qiu was actually attending a gathering invited by Chief Huang, along with several section chiefs from the City Hall." "However, halfway through the gathering, Chief Qiu suddenly arrested all of them as well and brought them to the Investigation Bureau." Su Xiaowan paused before adding, "Now Chief Qiu has rushed back to the Investigation Bureau, and it's said he's going to personally interrogate these suspects." After listening to Su Xiaowan's report, Tang Feifei waved her hand emotionlessly with her wheat-colored face. Su Xiaowan bowed slightly and then exited to the outer part of the suite, leaving Tang Feifei alone. Seeing Su Xiaowan leave, Tang Feifei then got up from the sofa. She tidied her short hair and walked with her wine glass to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite. As she admired the heavy rain outside, a meaningful smile appeared on her face. 'Not bad at all, little man....' 'I didn't expect you to withstand the pressure without my help.' 'Then, continue to show me your capabilities....' Having said this, a faint amber glow flickered in the depths of her pupils, and her wheat-colored face was filled with anticipation for her prey.... ..... When loyalty increased, the efficiency with which the subordinates handled their tasks also noticeably improved. Thus, under one command from Qiu Tu, a small interrogation room was quickly set up. After installing the video and audio equipment and preparing the interrogation table, the interrogation began without delay. Qiu Tu, Cao Dabiao, and Chen Feng took their seats at the interrogation table, Ah-Kun handled the recording of video and audio, while Eagle was responsible for conveying messages. Qiu Tu went through the list of suspects he was planning to interrogate today and, after confirming the questions he wanted to ask, he turned to Eagle and gave an order, "Bring Qian Dafu for questioning and have Qi Yun prepare." Hearing Qiu Tu's command, Eagle hurried out to make arrangements. Soon after, Eagle returned, followed by another door being opened from the outside: Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan escorted Qian Dafu into the interrogation room. They handcuffed Qian Dafu to the suspect's seat, saluted Qiu Tu, and then left the room. Qian Dafu was not as weak as his wife; he was clearly a tough nut to crack. Even now, trapped in his plight, he spoke arrogantly, "I'm telling you! My father-in-law is Director Bai, and I know many members of the Municipal Committee too!" "You barging into my house and capturing me is far from over!" Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Once I get out, I'll make sure each of you is peeled of that 'skin' you wear! Let's see if you can still strut around with undue authority without it!" Seeing how arrogant Qian Dafu was, the faces of Chen Feng and Eagle darkened, and Cao Dabiao also looked indignant. Ah-Kun... even wanted to step forward to give Qian Dafu a taste of pain. However, after Ah-Kun took two steps, Qiu Tu stopped him, "Ah-Kun, don't cause trouble." Ah-Kun glared at Qian Dafu before returning to his original position. Qiu Tu, on the other hand, glanced at his documents and then said expressionlessly, "Qian Dafu, I'm going to start your first interrogation now." "Whatever I ask, please answer accordingly." Qian Dafu cocked his head and scoffed, "I won't say a thing. Someone will come to save me." Qiu Tu, "Did you kill Yin Caimei?" Qian Dafu, "I killed her." Seeing Qian Dafu's defiance just a moment ago, and his outright refusal to cooperate, Cao Dabiao, Eagle, and the others were ready to step forward and beat him—this case could already proceed with a confession under duress. However, when they heard Qiu Tu ask whether Qian Dafu killed Yin Caimei and he swiftly admitted it, they were all dumbfounded. Wait a minute, did I hear that wrong? Shouldn't Qian Dafu have denied it? At that moment, Qiu Tu, with no trace of emotion, asked, "Please face the camera and repeat what you just said. Did you kill Yin Caimei or not?" Sitting upright and facing the camera with a serious expression, Qian Dafu said, "I killed Yin Caimei." Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Eagle, Ah-Kun: ??? This... is the case cracked? Is this for real? They looked at Qian Dafu, then at Qiu Tu in confusion; it felt like something they were unaware of had happened, but they didn't know what... ----- Third update with 10k words, haha.
