At this point, Qiu Tu pointed to the remaining seven or eight detectives and said, "They're all at your disposal.""My requirements are very simple, absolutely no scare away the snake, we can't let these big businessmen detect us." Cao Dabiao's mouth slowly gaped open, "We're not to let them detect us either?" At that moment, Cao Dabiao suddenly felt that being locked in the guard room wasn't so bad; at least he wouldn't have to face such an impossible mission. However, seeing the encouraging look in Qiu Tu's eyes and thinking about the pressure Qiu Tu was under for his sake, Cao Dabiao clenched his teeth and then said resolutely, "Rest assured, Chief! I will complete the mission!" Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and patted Cao Dabiao on the shoulder, continuing to pua, "Big Biao, you're the person I trust the most in the entire Investigation Bureau. Don't let me down." Cao Dabiao nodded vigorously! Then he took the remaining detectives and left in a hurry! After all members were dispatched, Qiu Tu walked to the window of the empty conference room, looking out at the view and quietly contemplating. Although Jia Shu had been hinting that he could randomly find someone to take the blame and close the case, Qiu Tu... believed that would be a dead end. If the case could be resolved so easily, the "Crisis Intuition" wouldn't have kicked in. After all, with such high attention on the case, the eyes of so many powerful and wealthy people were on it. Creating a sham case, he might get away with it if it isn't exposed. But if it is exposed, neither Jia Shu nor Yan Chen would protect him. Then he would be a disposable pawn that could easily be sacrificed. Therefore, the investigation into this case must continue. Only by finding the real culprit can he be in a position to attack or defend. You must understand, this case involves several major forces. No matter who is behind it, as long as the truth is uncovered, he would essentially have control over the other party's vulnerability. He could trade for benefits if advancing, or turn over the murderer for self-preservation if retreating. Perhaps, that was the real solution to this crisis. It's just that.... what made him uneasy was Jia Shu's slightly abnormal behavior today. As far as Qiu Tu knew, Jia Shu, as Yan Chen's right-hand man, should always be loyal to Yan Chen and to the Investigation Bureau. But... Jia Shu's attitude today was ambiguous. This made him worry not only about a deeper conspiracy behind the death of the female spy but also about... whether the Political Department had silenced her. If it really was the Political Department that did the silencing, then he would have been severely manipulated, and the crisis would indeed be troublesome! Thinking along these lines, the hands behind Qiu Tu's back clenched involuntarily..... ..... Ten minutes later, several groups of detectives began to return, and Qiu Tu's hands became filled with more and more information about the case. First was the physical examination report conducted by the Interrogation Section after Yin Caimei (the female spy) had been captured. All the indicators were very normal; there were no external injuries on the body, nor any secret diseases found. Then came Yin Caimei's physical examination after the interrogation that night. There were residues of various interrogation drugs in her body, a broken little finger on the right hand, and multiple external injuries and bruises on her body. But none were fatally dangerous. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then there was the surveillance video brought back from the Inspection Department. The surveillance showed that Yin Caimei was sent back to the guard room after the interrogation ended and the physical examination was done. Thereafter, her behavior in the guard room was completely normal, and no other non-guard staff approached her. Until 6 o'clock last night, Yin Caimei had finished her meal and was resting on the bed, and even picked up a book to read. However, at 9 o'clock, while reading, Yin Caimei suddenly fell from the bed to the ground. The guard patrolling outside sensed something was wrong, hurriedly opened the guard room to check, and found that she was already breathless. And because Qiu Tu had taken over the case, All the evidence, such as the book Yin Caimei was reading and the leftover meal that night, had all been transferred to the Investigation Bureau. Qiu Tu didn't pay attention to anything else but first put on his gloves and picked up the book that Yin Caimei had been reading before her death. It was a book with a black cover that looked somewhat oppressive and eerie. The cover had the title: "Brave New World". Qiu Tu opened the book, and on the title page, there was a row of delicate writing: "Death is only the disappearance of the flesh; the spirit remains connected to the world. Only a world where spirit eternally exists is the last hope for our tribe tormented by suffering." After reading the content on the title page, Qiu Tu's brows furrowed, then he opened the book and briefly flipped through a few pages. Most of the content in the book was metaphysical theory or visions and descriptions of the "Eternal Spirit World," with no other content. But... for some reason, looking at this book, Qiu Tu felt an inexplicable unease. Ordinary people may not think much of this book, just a regular publication. But Qiu Tu was a Cataclysmic. He truly knew that above the real material world, there existed a "Boundless Heart Sea" of the Spirit World. That was the source of the world's cataclysm and the source of all supernatural beings' powers. And this book just happened to describe a spirit world. Moreover, it called for approaching that world through death. Is this coincidence? Or intentional? And... who gave this book to Yin Caimei? What was their purpose? With these thoughts, Qiu Tu immediately arranged for Liu Fuping and Song Qing to investigate the book's origin. Perhaps because it was not highly confidential, the answer came quickly: Yin Caimei had brought the book with her. Due to her special identity, after being captured, the department specifically authorized her to bring a limited amount of clothes and personal belongings. And this book was among them. The person who approved the request was... Jia Shu. Qiu Tu stared at the black book in his hands, took a deep breath, his gaze growing deeper. Before he could recover, the last group of detectives: Chen Feng and Zhu Huoyan returned. And they brought Qiu Tu news he had not at all anticipated: Yin Caimei's body had not been autopsied, so there was no post-mortem report. However, the morgue could arrange an autopsy room for Qiu Tu's team, allowing them to schedule a suitable forensic pathologist for the initial autopsy. "No autopsy was performed?" Hearing this news, not even Qiu Tu was the most surprised, but Liu Fuping was. Her entire complexion changed, as if she realized something, and she stood frozen in place, her face shifting through various expressions. For a moment, she fiercely turned to look at Qiu Tu, her face filled with shock and disbelief. Qiu Tu hadn't expected this result either. His brows were nearly furrowed into the shape of the character "川". The information revealed by the lack of autopsy was truly too peculiar. This meant that after Yin Caimei died, Jia Shu never bothered with her body, nor did he investigate the cause of her death. And following that line of thought, there were only two possibilities for Jia Shu's actions. One, Jia Shu simply didn't care about Yin Caimei's life or death, nor the subsequent impact of her demise. Two, he knew that Yin Caimei would die. He might even have known the cause of death. Thinking this, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that the whole situation was developing towards the worst possibility. He pondered quietly for a moment, then turned to Chen Feng, Zhu Huoyan, and Wang Xi, arranging, "Chen Feng, you take Zhu Huoyan and Wang Xi to apply for a forensic pathologist to perform an autopsy." Chen Feng accepted the order and was just about to leave with his team. Qiu Tu stopped him again, "Wait a moment. Leave the communicator behind." Chen Feng didn't understand why Qiu Tu would make this decision, but with his Loyalty over 60, he obediently left the communicator behind. After he left, Qiu Tu fiddled with the communicator he had left behind, then stood up, instructed the team members to continue analyzing the case, and prepared to step out to make a call. But as soon as he walked out of the conference room, he heard footsteps behind him. Qiu Tu turned his head and saw Liu Fuping with a frosty face following him out. Qiu Tu glanced at her, said nothing, and headed straight for another empty conference room opposite them. Liu Fuping didn't stop either, following him into that empty conference room. After glancing around the empty conference room to make sure no one else was there, Liu Fuping closed the door and finally dropped the pretense. For the first time in front of Qiu Tu, this beautiful young woman revealed her extraordinary nature. She looked up at Qiu Tu with a cold tone, "Qiu Tu! You knew! You knew all along! This is a trap!" Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's gaze held a hint of complexity. He lowered his head to take out a cigarette from his pocket, ready to smoke one, but Liu Fuping snatched it away and threw it to the ground, then stood still, staring up at him. Seeing this, Qiu Tu sighed deeply and then gently wrapped his arms around the beautiful young woman in front of him. Liu Fuping stiffened for a moment. Possibly feeling she had been a bit too forceful, she let out a light sigh, her body about to relax, ready to have a proper talk with Qiu Tu. But at that moment, suddenly, she felt Qiu Tu's embrace tighten fiercely! It felt as though two stone walls were crashing together, trying to crush her! It was as if she realized something, and she struggled violently! However, her strength seemed utterly insignificant in front of Qiu Tu! All her effort couldn't even stop him by a fraction! "Crack...crack..." Liu Fuping even heard the sound of her own bones being crushed under the pressure. She struggled desperately, then looked up at Qiu Tu. But all she saw were a pair of eyes as dark as the abyss. In that moment, she truly felt the fear of death... "Please, please, I beg you!" Struggling to get the words out, Liu Fuping's eyes reddened, pleadingly looking at Qiu Tu. Qiu Tu watched her with a profound gaze, just looking. A second, two seconds...just when Liu Fuping felt utterly desperate, Qiu Tu suddenly let go of his hold. Liu Fuping collapsed to the ground with a thud, stumbled, and fell. But she hardly noticed, taking deep breaths, her eyes wide with the relief of someone who just escaped death. Qiu Tu emotionlessly stepped over her, walked to the window, and coldly dropped a sentence, "There won't be a next time." "For a spy like you, killing you wouldn't get me penalized." Liu Fuping swallowed hard, her face filled with fear as she looked towards Qiu Tu. She always thought that after sharing a secret with Qiu Tu for the past two days and their physical intimacies, even if Qiu Tu hadn't fallen for her, he would at least have a modicum of pity and cherish her. But there was none. Just now, she truly smelled the scent of death. "Snap." Hearing that crisp sound, Liu Fuping turned towards it, quickly checking her waist, and then belatedly realized that her gun had been taken by Qiu Tu again. How little must this man trust her... For some reason, Liu Fuping felt a sense of defeat. Meanwhile, Qiu Tu spoke again. Looking outside the window, he explained indifferently, "I only guessed everything this morning." "It's all been a trap." "From the moment your handler passed you information last night and you began your investigation, both of you were already trapped." "So, even if I guessed the truth, telling you would be pointless. You must have been monitored already and wouldn't be able to escape." Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping's expression kept changing. And at that moment, Qiu Tu couldn't help but add, "Unfortunately, I feel like I may have been trapped today as well." After saying that, as if a thought suddenly struck him, he turned around and asked, "By the way, who is your handler?" Liu Fuping: ?? -------
