Then let them offer their loyalty!

This created a special catastrophe agent unique to a particular pathway.

After understanding how this special catastrophe potion was prepared, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can you tell which type of catastrophe potion this formula produces?"

Shen Lingshuang shook her head slightly and said slowly, "It's hard to say... but it's highly likely that it's a potion made using the [Mysterious] or [Immortal] pathways."

"After all, the whole recipe exudes a dark and twisted feeling."

'Mysterious?' Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu was startled and couldn't help but think of the catastrophic potion [Rosemary Love Potion] that he had obtained yesterday.

He remembered that the description on the bottle of potion was: a cataclysmic potion made by cataclysmic agents using cataclysmic materials such as rosemary and succubus water through the "mysterious" means.

He noticed the description at the time, but didn't understand its meaning. Now it seems... that potion might also be a special catastrophe potion?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but have a startling idea: Could the bottle of [Rosemary Aphrodisiac] that he obtained have come from the man in the suit and mask?

After all... the description of the "Salvage Game" states that all the disaster items can be salvaged from the player's own area.

In other words, I can only obtain this catastrophe potion if it exists in the New Territories.

Although the New Territories City is not small, there are not many cataclysmic beings. In addition, the masked man is refining a potion related to the "mysterious" path, so my speculation is very likely true!

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu was analyzing the formula, Shen Lingshuang had also finished studying it carefully. She said somewhat uncertainly, "Although I've never seen this potion before."

"But based on the composition analysis, it is highly likely to be a catastrophic agent related to disguise, concealment, and change."

"For example, the [Imitation Potion], the [Albino Illusion Potion], the [Reverse Transformation Potion], etc..."

'Disguise, transformation?'

'Rosemary aphrodisiac...?'

'"god"?'

After putting all this information together, Qiu Tu inexplicably felt as if certain scenes and evil images unsuitable for children were appearing in his mind.

'Could something really serious be about to happen in the New Territories?'

After thinking quietly for a while, Qiu Tu temporarily put the matter to himself and then finished breakfast with Shen Lingshuang.

After finishing his meal, Qiu Tu reminded Shen Lingshuang not to wander off for the next couple of days, and then went to work...

Today is the last workday of the week. Tomorrow is the weekend, the day Qiu Tu and Section Chief Huang agreed to go to the "Jade City Walled City" for the horse races. There are only 8 days left until the deadline for the Yin Caimei case.

After leaving the old alley and getting into his car, Qiu Tu didn't drive off immediately. Instead, he checked the rewards from the second "Loyalty Game" from last night.

After closing the "Fighting Game," Qiu Tu opened the "Salvage Game."

With his click, a pixelated version of Atai popped up in front of Qiu Tu.

Compared to the eagle, who was exhausted after a night of fishing, Atai's pixelated figure was in much better condition: he was just sitting on the ground, yawning.

Qiu Tu carefully observed the image and soon spotted a small jade seal.

Qiu Tu clicked on the jade seal with his mind, and the next second, a notification popped up in front of him.

[Obtained Cataclysmic Artifact: Seal of Ownership]

'Ownership stamp?'

'What is this?'

Qiu Tu tried to check the description of this Cataclysmic Treasure.

"Cataclysmic Artifact: Seal of Ownership"

"Noble Phantasm Description: A cataclysmic Noble Phantasm made from an unknown substance. By stamping the seal on an object or creature, you will gain ownership of it for 72 hours."

"Within 72 hours, if you want to get them, they will transcend space and appear directly in front of you."

Note: Acquiring items or creatures will incur a certain "cost". The amount of the "cost" is determined by various factors such as the size, mass, rank, and distance between the item/creature and the user.

After reading the description of this treasure, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly.

As expected... no cataclysmic Noble Phantasm is weak.

Qiu Tu quickly devised many ways to use this amazing treasure after just a little thought.

Whether used for transporting items, stealing items, ambushing enemy organizations, or allowing multiple people to infiltrate secret locations, it will be incredibly effective!

The only problem is that it's unclear exactly how much the "cost" of this consumption is.

If it's a small amount, Qiu Tu feels he can manage; if it's too much, then he'll just have to reduce the frequency of use...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu packed up the catastrophic artifact and drove towards the Investigation Bureau...

[8 days (the time it takes for the Yin Caimei case to close)]

.......

Upon arriving at the Investigation Bureau, Qiu Tu, carrying the information he had obtained from Tian Xiaotian the previous night, took the elevator to the 9th floor.

When Qiu Tu arrived at the investigation team's office on the 9th floor, all of his subordinates were already there.

Even the seven or eight detectives, including Cao Dabiao, whom Qiu Tu had sent out, returned.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, everyone greeted him warmly.

Cao Dabiao was the most quick-witted. Seeing Qiu Tu carrying things, he immediately came over with a fawning smile and said, "Sir, let me help you carry them."

Qiu Tu didn't refuse his kindness, casually handing Tian Xiaotian's backpack to him, and then asked, "Why are you back? Has there been any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Cao Dabiao took the backpack, smiled slightly, and said modestly, "Sir, it's all thanks to you. We've been searching everywhere for the past two days, pulling strings and finally found the brother-in-law of the husband of one of Vice President Tian's drivers' sister..."

"Then, we tried to arrange a meeting with him a few times, subtly trying to get the driver to come along. Finally, we managed to get the driver to come out yesterday."

"After that, we made him drink a lot of alcohol and successfully found out Vice President Tian's itinerary for the past few days from him!"

Hearing Cao Dabiao's words, Qiu Tu looked at him in surprise, then praised him, "Not bad, Dabiao. You really have some skills."

"In such a short time, he was able to become familiar with Vice Chairman Tian's driver and obtain inside information."

At this point, Qiu Tu patted Cao Dabiao heavily on the shoulder, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"You did a great job!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's praise, Cao Dabiao's face showed a rare hint of pride.

Clearly, he also felt that it was remarkable that he was able to complete Qiu Tu's task in such a short time.

As they spoke, the two walked to Qiu Tu's desk. Cao Dabiao helped Qiu Tu put the backpack on the desk and asked casually out of curiosity, "Sir, what's in that bag? It's quite heavy."

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "It's nothing, just Vice President Tian and Yin Caimei's itinerary and gift-giving list for the past year."

Cao Dabiao: ? ? ?

Cao Dabiao almost thought he had misheard.

He paused for a second, then asked, "What? Vice President Tian and Yin Caimei's itinerary and gift-giving list for the whole year?"

Qiu Tu nodded lightly, then unzipped his backpack, took out the documents, and handed them to Cao Dabiao.

"Go through it backwards and find Vice President Tian's itinerary records for the past few days. See if they match up with the testimony of the driver you know."

"If everything matches up, then it means the driver wasn't lying to you, and his line must be properly maintained."

"We might get more secret information from him!"

Cao Dabiao made two "oh" sounds, but he didn't actually hear them at all: because at this moment, he was already dumbfounded by Qiu Tu's "bombshell".

He had only one thought in his mind: Just what kind of extraordinary person was his superior?!

It took seven or eight of us two days of hard work to finally manage to get one of Vice President Tian's drivers to give us access to his three-day itinerary.

As a result... his superior actually turned around and got Vice President Tian's entire year's schedule?

Compared to him, we are all so useless!

Thinking this, he glanced at the other agents in the office.

As he expected, the agents who stayed in the office these past two days were relatively calm and didn't feel much, but the seven or eight agents who had gone out with him to look for clues were all dumbfounded.

Clearly... they had been paying attention to the conversation between the two ever since Qiu Tu entered, so they were now just as shocked as Cao Dabiao...

Cao Dabiao's loyalty +5

Ding Xiaoqi's loyalty +3

Li Liang's loyalty +3

【...】

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu looked at the series of loyalty notifications floating in front of him, he casually sorted out the data while a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Praise your subordinates appropriately, but also occasionally surprise them.

Everyone has a tendency to admire the strong, so only when they understand the gap between you and them will they willingly follow you...

Just then, as Qiu Tu was habitually boosting his loyalty, the door to the temporary office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

An agent walked in, saluted Qiu Tu, and said politely, "Section Chief Qiu, the Minister requests your presence."

"They said they wanted to discuss the case with you."

Qiu Tu was taken aback. Discuss the case with him? What case? The case of Yin Caimei's death?

At that moment, while Qiu Tu was still in a daze, the [Crisis Countdown], which had been silent for a long time, slowly began to change...

-----

Chapter 95 Did Yan Chen and Jia Shu have a falling out? (7k)

Seeing the changes in the countdown hourglass, Qiu Tu suddenly had several question marks on his head.

He was a little confused as to why Jia Shu's "crisis sense" was triggered simply because he had only been summoned briefly.

Could it be... that Jia Shu is planning something inappropriate with me in his office?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at the series of [crisis warnings] that popped up in front of him, wanting to see what kind of crisis he had encountered.

As a result, Qiu Tu was stunned at first glance.

The crisis scenario he was warned about was completely different from what he had expected, which even surprised him.

Thinking this, he quickly read through all the [crisis warnings], his eyes showing a hint of deep thought.

As he finished reading the prompt, a countdown hourglass with only 20 minutes remaining appeared and landed in the upper left corner of his field of vision.

【19:56】

At this moment, the detective standing at the door, seeing that Qiu Tu had not responded, couldn't help but urge him, "Section Chief Qiu, the minister is still waiting for you."

Hearing his words, Qiu Tu snapped out of his reverie, then gave the detective a deep look before smiling and saying, "Okay, I'm coming."

After saying that, Qiu Tu handed the documents in his hand to Cao Dabiao, then called over a few detectives and instructed them, "Go and get a photocopier and a few boxes of paper, and make three copies of all these documents."

"Then one set is categorized by location, another by person, and the last set is arranged in chronological order."

"Wait until I get back, then we'll analyze this data together."

After saying that, Qiu Tu glanced at Cao Dabiao and instructed, "Dabiao, you are in charge of this matter."

Then he looked at Liu Fuping and Chen Feng, "Sister Liu, Chen Feng, you two assist."

"Yes!" the three replied.

Qiu Tu's arrangement of work was a normal procedure, so the detective didn't say anything and just waited patiently at the door.

Soon, the work arrangements were completed, and Qiu Tu walked towards the door, following the detective out of the temporary office.

【18:27】

Led by the detective, the two quickly arrived at the door of Jia Shu's office.

Upon arriving at the office door, Qiu Tu did not immediately enter. Instead, he straightened his clothes and asked the detective beside him, "I don't think I've seen you in the Political Department before? Are you new?"

The agent had a somewhat aloof personality and simply grunted in response.

Qiu Tu asked, "What's your name?"

The detective said, "Ji Chen."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and then reached out to knock on the door.

Jia Shu's voice came from inside the office, "Come in."

Upon hearing that voice, Qiu Tu smiled broadly, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.
