But at this time, Qiu Tu paid no attention to their shock and suspicion.Their doubts would be answered during the following interrogation, but not now. What Qiu Tu needed to do now was to interrogate all the prisoners as quickly as possible, secure the testimony and evidence, and then lift his Cataclysmic ability. Indeed, for the interrogation this time, Qiu Tu had also invested heavily. He had directly activated his Cataclysmic ability—"Order Space." Moreover, the rule he set today was that "within the Order Space, everyone must tell the truth in response to his questions." Such a straightforward setting brought about terrifying effects. Qian Dafu was so arrogant at the beginning, so uncooperative, but when faced with the rule set by the Cataclysmic ability, he could only reluctantly tell the truth, despite being extremely unwilling. This was the dimensional strike of the Cataclysmics on ordinary people. As Qiu Tu marveled at the strength of the Cataclysmics and the Cataclysmic treasures, he continued to ask, "What method did you use to kill Yin Caimei?" Qian Dafu's face clearly revealed a look of conflict and fear; he clearly didn't want to answer Qiu Tu's question, but... under the effect of the Cataclysmic ability, he was forced to honestly confess his crime. "I... I gave Yin Caimei a gift at a gathering once. It was... a book, a Banned Book." "It was a Banned Book accompanied by a Catastrophe Curse. As long as one looks through it for a long period, the soul would gradually be eroded, and then with a remote command from me, I could manipulate her health, even... her life." Qiu Tu listened to Qian Dafu's account with an expressionless face, nodded slightly, feeling that the truth behind Yin Caimei's death was almost as he had guessed and deduced, and was not beyond his expectations. But at this moment, the thoughts of Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Eagle, and Ah-Kun, who were by his side, were entirely different from his. What? Banned Book? Catastrophe Curse? Long-time reading erodes the soul? A single command can cause death? What on earth is all this about! If they weren't certain they hadn't gone mad, the four of them would have even started to wonder if there was something wrong with their sanity. They looked at Qian Dafu and then at Qiu Tu several times, trying to understand what exactly was happening. Then they saw that Qiu Tu was not the least bit surprised, and even continued to ask questions indifferently. This discovery gradually led them to speculate: this case seemed to have a tremendous "inside story." And this "inside story", Brother Tu/the chief probably knew all along, hence his lack of surprise! With this thought, their hearts settled slightly, and they continued to listen to the conversation between Qiu Tu and Qian Dafu. Qiu Tu asked, "How did you remotely control the death of Yin Caimei?" Qian Dafu sincerely replied, "That set of Cataclysmic treasures consisted of two pieces, both printed out by the 'Cursed Printer', one being a book and the other a notebook, named 'Cursed Blueprint'." "As long as you write down the health conditions of the person on the notebook, the person who possesses the book will be subjected to the corresponding curse." "After learning that Yin Caimei had been captured by the Political Department, I was worried she would leak our secrets. So, I wrote in the notebook the condition 'sudden cardiac death after 10 hours'." "In this way, as long as she came into contact with the book, and there were no treasures nearby to shield against Catastrophe Powers, the curse would be planted, and she would die suddenly 10 hours later." Hearing Qian Dafu's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and continued to inquire, "Where is that notebook now?" Qian Dafu said, "It's in a safe in a hidden compartment in my basement." Qiu Tu asked, "The safe's combination." Qian Dafu replied, "486883284." Qiu Tu took a pen and paper, wrote down the relevant information, then casually passed it to Eagle. By this point, Eagle was already dumbfounded. Compared to Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, who had been working in the Political Department for a long time, he and Ah-Kun had only recently joined. So this was his first time participating in an interrogation by the Political Department. Seeing Qian Dafu, who had been so arrogant just before, now answering every question under the influence of some unknown power, he had only one thought: Is every interrogation this dramatic in the Political Department? No wonder all the powers in Xinjie City are terrified of the Political Department! If he had this kind of ability, he would keep all his enemies awake at night! Therefore, when Qiu Tu handed him the note, he first paused, then returned to his senses, accepted the note, and quickly left the interrogation room to arrange for the "Field Operations Team" waiting outside to retrieve the evidence. After doing all this, Eagle stood at the entrance of the interrogation room for two seconds, suppressing the intense heartbeat that had started earlier, then hurried back into the interrogation room, afraid to miss any part of the interrogation process. Because in those two seconds, he also realized that something was off about this interrogation! Qiu Tu could easily interrogate all the prisoners by himself, so why did he need to call the four of them in to assist? Was Qiu Tu trying to show them another side of this world through this method? A new Xinjie... with various supernatural powers! No ordinary person could resist the allure of supernatural power, and Eagle was no exception. So he was tempted. He knew that this might be the second chance to change his life! Therefore, he had to seize this opportunity. With this thought, Eagle hurried back to the interrogation room. Fortunately, he hadn't missed anything. As soon as he stepped into the interrogation room, he heard Qiu Tu ask, "Where did you obtain that set of Cataclysmic treasures?" Hearing this question, Eagle also couldn't help but listen intently. Qian Dafu's face showed even more struggle, but he still uncontrollably spoke the truth, "From the Qin Family. It was given to me by Third Master Qin." Upon hearing this, Eagle looked up in surprise at Qiu Tu. However, what surprised him was that Qiu Tu seemed to have anticipated this, showing no surprise but instead continued to ask calmly, "Then do you have contact or cooperation with the United Front and other anti-government armed forces?" Qian Dafu looked like he was about to give up, he nodded woodly, "Yes, there's contact, and there is cooperation." He detailed it bit by bit, "After all, Xinjie City has just been designated a Planning Area; previously, it was all under the influence of anti-government armed forces, so we naturally had contact with them." "And inter-city trade requires a long and arduous journey. During this period, anti-government armed forces can either protect us or plunder us at any time, so we must have a good relationship with them." Qiu Tu asked, "What kind of relationship?" Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Qian Dafu confessed, "We cooperate with the anti-government forces providing them with a large number of supplies, medicines, and weapons..." "And they pay us a price 50% higher than the market rate and ensure the security of our inter-city trade." "So we often purchase supplies in the Planning Area and then sell the goods to the anti-government armed forces using robbery as an excuse." Hearing Qian Dafu's confession, Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, and Eagle couldn't hide the change in their expressions. It wasn't that their looks turned sour, but rather they looked exceptionally pleased—because with this information, they immediately knew they had uncovered a major case! A major transporter colluding with anti-government armed forces! If this case was not considered big, then there would hardly be any bigger ones out there! But, Qiu Tu didn't seem to think the same. He continued to ask, "What about the other transporters?" Qian Dafu struggled, "They are also involved..." "Whew!" Cao Dabiao was the least able to contain himself; he took a deep breath, his face barely able to hide his excitement. Meanwhile, Eagle and Ah-Kun kept exchanging glances, trying to see if their hearing was playing tricks on them. But at this time, Qiu Tu was still not finished. He looked at Qian Dafu with a cold gaze, "What about the Qin Family?" As Qiu Tu posed this question, Qian Dafu's complexion almost broke into tears as he said, "They're involved." "Holy shit..." Ah-Kun nearly blurted out the curse. By now, Cao Dabiao was dumbstruck, while even the usually calm and collected Eagle and Chen Feng showed looks of shock! The Four Major Transportation Merchants facilitating benefits to anti-government armed forces was already a big case. Now, with the involvement of one of Xinjie City's biggest families, the Qin Family, the case was akin to a full-blown bombshell! Qiu Tu quietly looked at Qian Dafu for two seconds, then asked, "Is Vice President Tian involved?" This time, Qian Dafu's face showed obvious confusion. After seeming to recall for a moment, he then said, "I'm not sure. He's always kept his distance from us, never participating in our gatherings." "Even when there's business, it's always the Qin Family who contacts him." Discover hidden content at empire "So, I don't know whether he's actually involved in this, whether it's a reciprocal trade, or... if he's being used." Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded. Getting so much information from Qian Dafu was already more than enough. His "Cataclysmic ability" only allowed him to hear the "truth," not "the whole truth," so he still had to find other criminals to supplement and verify the things Qian Dafu had reported, checking for any incorrect or missing new details. Thinking this, he signaled to Eagle. Eagle nodded and quickly went out to have Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan bring in the next suspect. And seeing him come out two or three times in such a short span, Liu Fuping, who had been coordinating from outside all this time, had a glint in her eye, then took the initiative to approach and ask, "Is the interrogation going smoothly?" Qiu Tu had Eagle relay messages back and forth precisely because he knew he could trust his discretion. So, when faced with Liu Fuping's question, Eagle just smiled and said in a noncommittal manner, "Well enough, I suppose." Liu Fuping, upon hearing this, looked at Eagle without showing any emotion, guessing in her heart: It seems... things are not going well. She wasn't surprised, though. After all, the people undergoing interrogation today were all wealthy and powerful, and each had their backgrounds and strengths; they wouldn't yield valuable information in just a few words. Qiu Tu was a person, not a god, and had to follow objective laws. However, just as she thought this, Qian Dafu was also brought out by Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan, clearly distressed. He shouted loudly towards the interrogation room, "Devil! You're a devil!" "You have no right! Illegal interrogation! I'll sue you! Sue you!" Hearing Qian Dafu's fearful shouts, the agents present couldn't help but look over, while Liu Fuping was also momentarily dumbfounded, her face filled with confusion. ------ Staying up until 5 am, I finally managed to write it in advance, tens of thousands of words asking for subscription, asking for Monthly Tickets!
