Then let them offer their loyalty!

With the security department as a scapegoat, the lies Qiu Tu had been weaving since his transmigration were completely transformed from false to true.

Even if Jia Shu and Yan Chen were shrewd and experienced, and even if they sensed something was amiss, they couldn't refute one thing: the Security Department had indeed intervened.

In this way, all of Qiu Tu's lies from the previous few days have been confirmed.

This includes his speculation about Qin Shuman's identity, his suspicions about the Qin family, and his reminder to Yan Chen.

By reviewing the whole incident along this logic, we can find something very interesting: Qiu Tu seems to have really been "wronged".

Yan Chen and Jia Shu, who suspected Qiu Tu, became the culprits behind the Investigation Bureau's failure....

And this is the ultimate goal of Qiu Tu's entire plan tonight: to completely clear his name of any "injustice" and eliminate all unstable factors around him.

Even though Yan Chen and Jia Shu still suspected him afterwards, ... the matter was over. Qin Shuman was "dead," Master Qin had run away, and the security department's files all recorded it. They simply couldn't find any evidence or reason to question him.

And the final "truth" of the whole incident was thus definitively revealed.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu, who had finally completed the entire plan, took a deep breath and felt a little relieved.

Regardless, the crisis was resolved, Qin Shuman was freed, and she herself had awakened the Cataclysmic Awakening.

The agreement was reached only on the night when Yan Chen, Jia Shu, the Qin family, and Master Qin were injured.

Next, all I need to do is avoid revealing any weaknesses and gradually take down Yan Chen and the others...

Hmm... I also need to find out exactly what happened to the original "Qiu Tu" and the original "Qin Shuman" on the day I time-traveled...

For some reason, Qiu Tu always felt a vague unease whenever he thought about what happened that day...

After thinking quietly for a while, Qiu Tu took a few deep breaths to adjust his state and then prepared to "return to reality".

He put away the two communicators and then deactivated his cataclysmic abilities.

With the removal of the "Reshape Order" effect, matter was reshaped, lines were filled in, and everything around returned to normal.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt a little dizzy. It felt exactly like the state he experienced half an hour after his spiritual vision.

Qiu Tu was a little surprised.

'Only five or six minutes have passed, right? How come I feel so exhausted?'

'Is it because my cataclysmic abilities consume a lot of mental energy?'

'If I had to sustain this for 24 hours, how much mental energy would it take?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu steadied himself, kept his expression unchanged, and then quietly returned to the interrogation room...

.....

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, the female spy had been brought in and was handcuffed to a chair. Liu Fuping, Song Qing, and Wang Xi were quietly discussing the next steps of the interrogation.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, they quickly saluted and greeted him. Qiu Tu waved his hand, signaling them to continue.

As a mascot, Qiu Tu knew his role, so he simply observed and learned throughout the entire interrogation. He didn't interfere like an outsider trying to instruct an expert.

After a whole night of interrogation, Qiu Tu only retained two impressions.

The first one is... this female spy is actually a con artist?

Moreover, their bullying and blatant disrespect towards customers is outrageous! They really treat men like fools.

The second one is... Liu Fuping, that beautiful young woman, looks fiery, but she's really ruthless when she gets going.

Watching her manicured hands break off the female spy's fingers one by one, Qiu Tu felt a chill run down his spine.

Most importantly, even when this woman was being tortured, her peach blossom eyes were full of affection, and she even had a smile on her lips.

Qiu Tu is now starting to admire Section Chief Liu next door: Won't it leave him with psychological trauma?

.....

Throughout history, few have been able to withstand endless torture and interrogation.

So the entire interrogation proceeded without many surprises.

The female spy revealed almost all the information the interrogation team wanted to know.

For example, her methods of communication with the alliance, the process and details of her secretly installing eavesdropping devices, her code name, her superiors, etc.

According to her confession, her infiltration of Vice President Tian's inner circle was purely accidental. She was originally just an ordinary spy, but unexpectedly, she inadvertently became involved with Vice President Tian.

This also resulted in her being an idle person, without any companions around her.

Qiu Tu had reservations about the information obtained through this interrogation method.

But he was just an overseer, so he didn't get involved much.

And so, by the time the entire interrogation ended, dawn was breaking.

After tidying up the interrogation scene, the group stretched and walked outside.

Qiu Tu walked in front, with Liu Fuping beside him.

After last night's interrogation, Qiu Tu no longer dared to think about the beautiful young woman in front of him, but... even though he didn't think about her, the beautiful young woman took the initiative to start a conversation with him.

"Sir, you must be tired after interrogating people all night."

Qiu Tu yawned, "I'm alright. Just a little sleepy. After all, you did most of the work, Sister Liu. If anyone's tired, it's you."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping said lazily, "I am indeed a little tired. All I want to do now is go home, take a shower, and have a good night's sleep."

As she spoke, she stretched, her fully developed curves perfectly outlined before Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu's eyes gleamed with the cunning of Cao Cao, and he suddenly felt wide awake...

Perhaps noticing Qiu Tu's gaze, Liu Fuping lowered her arms, gave him a flirtatious wink, and boldly invited, "My home is nearby, sir, would you like to come to my place for a nap?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu felt a sudden jolt, a sense of déjà vu about being abducted.

He quickly calmed himself down, but feigned surprise and said, "Sleep at your place? Sister Liu, if you put it that way, I'll start to get the wrong idea. Come on, let's go! We can't wait!"

"Hehehehe~~~", Liu Fuping laughed at Qiu Tu's blunt teasing. She gently punched Qiu Tu and pressed her soft waist against him.

As Qiu Tu ate the tofu with a smile, he became even calmer inside...

The interrogation officers behind the two exchanged glances upon seeing this.

Pharmacist Wang Xichong gestured with his lip towards the back of the two figures and winked at the girl, Song Qing.

Song Qing rolled her eyes and mouthed a comment: adulterers...

.....

Meanwhile.

Inside the monitoring room of the Investigation Division, Information Section, Investigation Department.

A dark figure also received a phone call.

The phone was answered, and Jia Shu's voice came through asking, "How are you? Is anything unusual?"

Upon hearing Jia Shu's question, the dark figure replied softly, "Everything is normal."

Jia Shu on the other end of the communicator hummed in response, but remained silent for a long while, without revealing his signature laugh.

Perhaps sensing Jia Shu's unusual behavior, the shadowy figure asked, "What's wrong? Did the investigation not go well last night?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Shu snapped out of his reverie and said with a chuckle, "It went very smoothly. It's just... the result was a bit unexpected..."

.......

At 10 a.m., Yan Chen's villa in the city garden.

That dimly lit study.

The desk lamp emitted a dim yellow glow, and the entire room was filled with smoke. Wisps of smoke swirled in the air, rising and spreading as time went by.

Yan Chen's body was half-hidden in the darkness, while the other half... he held a cigarette between his fingers, smoking and squinting as he quietly pondered.

Jia Shu stood in front of him without saying a word.

An eerie silence filled the room.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe a minute, maybe more than ten minutes.

After Yan Chen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, he asked in a hoarse voice, "So...we've been misunderstanding Qiu Tu all this time?"

Jia Shu stopped smiling. His face was expressionless, and his gold-rimmed glasses added to his cold demeanor.

He shook his head. "I didn't say that."

"But... that possibility does exist."

After saying that, he explained, "Last night, we started investigating Qin Laosi and his wife and children. We found out about many places."

"But the more we investigated, the more wrong we found."

"When we went back to investigate again, we found that many key clues and information had been erased."

"After investigating for several hours, we found almost nothing except that Qin Laosi had disappeared at the Milan Grand Hotel."

At this point, Jia Shu adjusted his glasses and said with a serious expression, "But this unreasonable phenomenon also points us in the right direction."

“We’re the elite of the shelter, trained in professional criminal investigation. What force in the New Territories can escape our eyes? Are we more professional than you?”

"The military...?" Yan Chen narrowed his eyes and quietly uttered two words.

But after a moment, he shook his head and corrected himself, "Not just the military headquarters. It should be the military headquarters security department."

Jia Shu nodded and affirmed, "Yes."

"Most of the other forces in the New Territories are just peasants. Even the experts among them are at most amateur level."

"They simply couldn't have accurately erased all traces and cut off all clues in just 30 minutes, leaving us with no way to trace anything."

"This level of expertise is only accessible to mid-level managers from the shelter. That is, people from the Investigation Bureau, the military, and the city hall."

"Although the city hall is the highest authority and has the most middle-level managers, most of them are civil servants and do not have this kind of professional skills."

“I already gathered all the people from our investigation department last night, so they didn’t have time to commit the crime.”

"Therefore, only the military headquarters, or rather the military headquarters' elite security department, has such capabilities."

At this point, Jia Shu paused, then continued, "We've been adversaries of the security department for many years and are familiar with their tactics. So once we locked onto the target, we re-investigated along that direction and quickly found some subtle clues."

"Therefore, it has been confirmed that the mastermind behind last night was indeed the Security Department."

Upon hearing Jia Shu's words, Yan Chen's expression shifted between light and dark.

He lit another cigarette and said slowly.

"Last night, Fourth Master Qin set fire to the Qin family's house and took Qin Shuman away. Immediately afterwards, the security department stepped in to help them cover up the traces."

"That proves that Fourth Master Qin and Qin Shuman are from the security department..."

"Qiu Tu said at the time that he discovered Qin Shuman had a problem and suspected that Qin Shuman had another identity."

"So... he didn't lie to me?"

By the end, Yan Chen's brows were deeply furrowed.

Jia Shu didn't know how to answer. He was silent for a moment before adding, "Last night, Master Qin deliberately let things slide. He didn't burn down the Qin family's main house, nor did he kill the detective guarding Qin Shuman, which means he was coerced."

"So he is most likely not the one who devised the whole plan, but at most an executor."

"so....."

Yan Chen's eyes narrowed even more. "So, the mastermind behind this plan is likely Qin Shuman?"

"Does this further confirm Qin Shuman's identity?"

At this point, Yan Chen paused, "However, Qiu Tu still guessed Qin Shuman's identity wrong. Qin Shuman is not from the Municipal Committee as he guessed, but from the military."

Jia Shu nodded slightly and added, "And... if Qin Shuman really is from the security department."

"Then it makes even more sense that she could use an awakening material like Aurora Stone to bribe Qiu Tu."

Yan Chen nodded and responded in a low voice.

"Indeed... the Security Department is responsible for handling extraordinary matters."

Just as Qiu Tu had analyzed and predicted: Yan Chen and Jia Shu had never trusted him, so they had never believed that Qin Shuman was a spy.
