Then let them offer their loyalty!

The treasure chest containing the "Collect Evidence of Qin Family Crimes" still contains a Cataclysm material.

"Memory Clay: A precious cataclysmic material, born from the Night Demon Swamp, capable of recording and reproducing the memories of living beings."

"With just a certain level of forging skill, it is possible to forge catastrophic artifacts such as 'Mind Sculpture,' 'Echoes of the Past Pottery Jar,' 'Letter from Beyond the Stars,' and 'Eyeball for Foresight.'"

A piece of cataclysmic material that looks very valuable. But Qiu Tu can't use it for the time being.

The chest for crafting Awakening Potions was different. It contained a Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm.

Noble Phantasm Name: Nightmare Crystal Bottle

"Noble Phantasm Description: A unique container made primarily of spirit crystal. It contains energy that can drive people mad."

"Noble Phantasm Effect: Simply leave it under the moonlight overnight, and this bottle will be filled with spiritual nourishment that is a condensation of the power of catastrophe and the essence of dreams. Drinking it will immediately replenish your depleted spiritual energy."

Side effects: Unknown.

"Note: When you are wandering in the boundless sea of ​​your mind or fighting against those terrifying beings that try to devour your mind, the Nightmare Crystal Bottle is undoubtedly an indispensable treasure for maintaining mental vitality and resisting mental collapse."

It was precisely because he obtained this cataclysmic artifact capable of restoring mental strength that Qiu Tu dared to use his Spirit Vision so recklessly...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu clicked on the treasure chest.

A moment later, a beautifully colored crystal bottle appeared in his hand.

The crystal bottle was small, only about the size of a thumb, and looked somewhat like some kind of oral liquid that Qiu Tu had drunk in his previous life.

Holding the crystal bottle, I gently shook it twice, and its interior rippled with iridescent waves like stars.

Qiu Tu tilted his head back and drank the spiritual nourishment inside. The colorful liquid went down his throat and flowed downwards, as if illuminating every corner of his bones and internal organs, making them clearly visible.

A moment later, the light went out, and Qiu Tu felt a cool sensation reach his brain. His previously aching and tired thoughts instantly became incredibly clear.

Qiu Tu shook his head, then opened his mouth and exhaled a rainbow-colored bubble...

Qiu Tu covered his mouth, trying to stop the bubbles from coming out. But then... he felt the air going downwards...

Startled, Qiu Tu quickly let go, letting himself occasionally blow out a colorful bubble...

After blowing bubbles for a while, the side effects of this Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm gradually disappeared.

Feeling his mental energy recover, Qiu Tu picked up the Nightmare Crystal Bottle and shook it; it was completely empty. It seemed he could only use it again after letting it sit overnight.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu put the first Cataclysmic Treasure he had obtained into his pocket and kept it close to his body.

Then he got up and went next door, called Sister Xin over, and asked her to help look after Shen Lingshuang, who was still sleeping. Only then did he get up and go downstairs.

The most important part of a play is never the climax, but the ending.

He had already let Master Qin finish singing the first half of the play, and he wanted to personally draw the curtain on the second half.

After all, don't forget that getting Master Qin out of the Qin family was only the first step.

The most crucial part of the entire drama lies in negotiating with the military, dealing with Yan Chen and the Qin family's subsequent reactions, and maximizing the benefits from this situation.

With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu went downstairs, got into the black car that Qin Zhengguang had given him, and headed towards the Milan Grand Hotel.

I wonder if the Nightmare Crystal Bottle has any other special effects.

Surprisingly, the bumpy road in the planned area didn't evoke any negative emotions in Qiu Tu. He felt incredibly calm, and even his thoughts flowed much more smoothly.

The communicator suddenly rang halfway through the journey.

Qiu Tu snapped out of his reverie, picked up the phone, and saw that it was a call from Jia Shu.

Upon seeing the name displayed on the communicator, Qiu Tu frowned slightly. He pondered for a moment before calmly answering the call.

Good evening, sir.

A fake laugh came from the other end of the phone: "What's Detective Qiu up to?"

Qiu Tu glanced at the rearview mirror and lied without batting an eye, "A friend asked me to go out for drinks, and I'm on my way there."

"Oh? Is that so?" Jia Shu on the other end of the communicator looked out the window with a half-smile, and then said, "Then Detective Qiu, come to the station and work overtime."

"There is an urgent case."

Upon hearing Jia Shu's words, Qiu Tu slowly stopped the car.

He hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly laughed, "Okay."

Jia Shu: "I remember Director Qin gave you a car at noon today? It's about a 15-minute drive from your house to the office."

"Then...see you in 18 minutes?"

Qiu Tu did not refuse, "Yes, sir."

He hung up the phone. Gazing at the dark, deserted streets outside the car window, Qiu Tu took a deep breath, a strange expression on his face.

'Interesting, very interesting... Never underestimate your enemy.'

'They responded immediately after I made my move?'

'But do they genuinely suspect me, or are they just trying to pin down a suspect?'

After thinking for two seconds without an answer, Qiu Tu simply smiled.

It's a pity... they can't control themselves.

I'm determined to play this role myself.

Chapter 52 Slapping Master Qin in the Face (Thanks to Warm Sun for the Silver Alliance!)

Thinking this, Qiu Tu turned the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and turned around to head towards the Investigation Bureau building.

He didn't stop working while driving.

Jia Shu did restrict his movements, but... he didn't restrict his mouth.

Who said he couldn't act out the scene if he couldn't be there in person?

The true protagonist never complains about the environment!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu took out another communicator while driving: this was the communicator that Atai received after becoming a formal agent of the Special Operations Department.

Qiu Tu took Atai's communicator and made a call to himself first.

"Beep...beep...beep...."

After his communicator rang a few times, Qiu Tu answered the call.

He waited another ten seconds or so before hanging up.

After making this preparation, he took Atai's communicator and made a call to Lin Zuo, the third key supporting actor in this grand drama: the Security Department's Investigation Section.

A moment later, the communication was established.

Lin Zuo's cold voice came through the receiver, "Hello. Who are you...?"

Because of the time constraint, Qiu Tu didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point, "Lin Zuo, I am Qiu Tu."

"My communicator might be having its call logs monitored, so I'm using this communicator to call you."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lin Zuo didn't immediately believe him. He asked, "How can I believe you're not using a voice changer?"

Qiu Tu, "416."

This was the hotel room number where the two had met last time, and only the two of them knew it, so Lin Zuo nodded slightly, beginning to believe Qiu Tu.

He asked, "What happened? Any progress on your end?"

Upon hearing Lin Zuo's words, Qiu Tu, while driving, exaggeratedly exclaimed, "It's not just progress, it's a major breakthrough!"

"I'm going to give you a big gift."

Lin Zuo asked indifferently, "What grand gift?"

Qiu Tu said, "I turned Master Qin to the side. He has evidence that Yan Chen colluded with the Lianzhen."

As Qiu Tu finished speaking, a series of clattering sounds came from the other end of the communicator.

If I'm not mistaken, Lin Zuo was too excited and suddenly stood up, knocking things over.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

See... everyone has desires.

Even an upright and dedicated person has a desire for a career.

Once you pinpoint the other person's desires, you can easily "manipulate" them.

Thinking this, Lin Zuo's suppressed voice came through the receiver, "Really?"

Qiu Tu didn't answer directly, but instead replied to Lin Zuo indifferently, "Section Chief Lin, your question just makes me feel unprofessional."

Lin Zuo was taken aback upon hearing this, but immediately calmed down considerably.

He reflected on his earlier question: Indeed, since it was Qiu Tu who gave him the information, no matter how he asked, Qiu Tu would only answer "it's true".

To find out if Qiu Tu was lying, he had to verify it himself.

The sudden appearance of the clue made me lose my composure.

After quietly making a judgment on himself, Lin Zuo calmed down and returned to his normal level as the head of the confidential department.

He stopped asking those silly questions and got straight to business: "What do you need me to give in return?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly. As expected of an elite trained by the shelter, they are indeed more professional than the newly recruited agents.

Thinking this, he said, "Fourth Master Qin left the Qin family in two groups."

"He himself is currently on his way to the Grand Milan Hotel."

"His wife and children arrived at a courtyard at No. 19 Nanfang Street half an hour ago. My men are... protecting them."

"The clues he has are too important, and they involve Director Yan, so they are too sensitive."

"Therefore, I need your security department to send people to remove all traces left by these two groups."

"Or, at least cut off the trail."

"After the deed is done, Master Qin's wife and children will be looked after by my men, while he himself will be protected by your security department."

"We will share the intelligence and credit we obtained from him."

Lin Zuo didn't immediately agree. He pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked, "How long ago did this happen?"

Qiu Tu quickly calculated the time, "less than 10 minutes."

Lin Zuo: "There's still time."

"I'll send someone to remove the traces right now."

"I guarantee that even if the Political Department gets involved, they won't be able to trace you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Lin Zuo: "It's a pleasure working with you."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu felt a little more at ease.

When this plan was being developed, the security department was one of the core components of Qiu Tu's plan.

Qiu Tu caused such a big scene today that he will most likely attract Yan Chen's attention.

To investigate tonight's events thoroughly, Yan Chen will most likely dispatch his elite political department.

Although most of the agents in the Political Department are newly recruited, there are also some elites who are experts who came from the sanctuary.

Once they get involved in the investigation, given the traces left by non-professionals like Artest and Hawks, they'll definitely find the truth in no time.

Therefore, Qiu Tu needs to find someone to help him deal with the traces of the whole incident.

In the entire New Territories, only the military and the security department have such experts who can clean up the traces and cover up the whereabouts of Master Qin and his family without anyone noticing!

Therefore, Qiu Tu must cooperate with the security department.

Of course, after realizing the importance of the security department to the plan, Qiu Tu did not place all his hopes on Lin Zuo.

He also had a Plan B—to start with Qin Shuman.

But... that would make things even more complicated.

Qiu Tu felt much more relaxed now that he had successfully achieved his goal simply by negotiating with Lin Zuo.

As he watched the street scenes rushing past the car window, he silently thought to himself, 'If that's the case... all I need to do is give Fourth Master Qin a good talking-to, and everything will be fine.'
