Then let them offer their loyalty!

With higher loyalty, subordinates' work efficiency also increased significantly.

So, on Qiu Tu's order, a small interrogation room was quickly set up.

After setting up the video and audio recording equipment and the interrogation table, the interrogation began quickly.

Qiu Tu, Cao Dabiao, and Chen Feng sat down at the interrogation table, while A-Kun recorded audio and video, and Lao Ying was responsible for relaying messages.

Qiu Tu mentally reviewed all the suspects he planned to interrogate that day, and after confirming the questions to be asked, he looked at Eagle and instructed, "Have Qi Yun prepare for the interrogation of Qian Dafu."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lao Ying immediately went out to make arrangements.

A short while later, Eagle returned, and then another door was opened from the outside: Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan escorted Qian Dafu into the interrogation room.

They handcuffed Qian Dafu to the prisoner's seat, saluted Qiu Tu, and then left the interrogation room.

Qian Dafu was not as weak as his wife; he was clearly the kind of guy who wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin.

So even now, despite being imprisoned, he still arrogantly declared, "Let me tell you! My father-in-law is Director Bai, and I know many members of the Municipal Committee!"

"You broke into my house and arrested me, this isn't over!"

"Once I get out of here, I'll skin you all alive! Let's see if you can still use that skin to bully others!"

Seeing Qian Dafu's arrogance, Chen Feng and Lao Ying's faces darkened, and Cao Dabiao also looked indignant. Ah Kun... even wanted to go forward and teach Qian Dafu a lesson.

He had only taken two steps when Qiu Tu stopped him, saying, "Ah Kun, don't be silly."

Ah Kun glared at Qian Dafu before returning to his original position.

Qiu Tu glanced down at the documents and said expressionlessly, "Qian Dafu, I will now conduct your first interrogation."

"Please answer whatever I ask."

Qian Dafu tilted his head and curled his lip in mockery. "I won't tell. Someone will come to save me."

Qiu Tu, "Did you kill Yin Caimei?"

Qian Dafu: "I killed him."

Seeing how arrogant Qian Dafu was, and even openly refused to cooperate, Cao Dabiao, Lao Ying, and the others were already thinking of going up and beating him up—this case could have been handled through torture.

As a result, when Qiu Tu asked if Qian Dafu had killed Yin Caimei, and Qian Dafu readily admitted it, they were all stunned.

Wait a minute, did I hear that right?

Qian Dafu must have denied it, right?

Just then, Qiu Tu said expressionlessly, "Please look at the camera and repeat what you just said: Did you kill Yin Caimei?"

Facing the camera, Qian Dafu sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "I killed Yin Caimei."

Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Lao Ying, A Kun: ? ? ?

This...this...is the case solved?

Is it true or not?

They looked at Qian Dafu, then at Qiu Tu, completely bewildered. They had a feeling that something they didn't know was happening, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it...

Chapter 114 Something's Wrong with This Interrogation (10,000 words, please subscribe!)

But Qiu Tu ignored their surprise and doubt at this moment.

Their questions will be answered in the upcoming interrogation, but not now.

What Qiu Tu needs to do now is to interrogate all the prisoners as soon as possible, secure their testimonies and evidence, and then deactivate his catastrophic abilities.

Indeed, Qiu Tu went all out for this interrogation, directly activating his catastrophic ability – [Order Space].

Furthermore, the rule he set today is that "in the space of order, everyone needs to tell the truth about his issues."

Such a simple setting has a terrifying effect.

Qian Dafu was so arrogant and uncooperative at first, but faced with the rules set by the cataclysmic ability, even though he was extremely unwilling, he still had no choice but to tell the truth.

This is the kind of devastating attack that the "Cataclysmic Ones" inflict on ordinary people.

While inwardly marveling at the power of the Cataclysmic Ones and Cataclysmic Artifacts, Qiu Tu continued to ask, "How did you kill Yin Caimei?"

Qian Dafu's face clearly showed a conflicted and fearful expression. He obviously didn't want to answer Qiu Tu's question, but... under the influence of the cataclysmic ability, he had no choice but to confess his crimes in detail.

“I…I gave Yin Caimei a gift at a party. It was…a book, a banned book.”

"That's a forbidden book tainted with a catastrophic curse. If you read it for too long, your soul will be gradually corrupted. Then, with just a remote command, I can control her health, and even... her life."

Qiu Tu listened to Qian Dafu's account with a blank expression, nodding slightly. He felt that the truth about Yin Caimei's death was similar to his guesses and deductions, and it did not surprise him.

But at this moment, the thoughts of Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Lao Ying, and A Kun beside him were completely different from his.

What? A banned book? A catastrophic curse?

Will prolonged viewing erode the soul? Can a single command cause death?

What is all this nonsense?!

If they weren't certain they weren't insane, the four of them would have almost doubted whether there was something wrong with their mental state.

They looked at Qian Dafu and then at Qiu Tu several times, trying to figure out what had happened.

They were surprised to see that Qiu Tu showed no surprise whatsoever, and even continued asking questions with a calm expression. This discovery gradually led them to suspect that there might be a significant "insider story" behind this case.

Tu Ge/the officer probably already knew this "insider information," which is why he wasn't surprised at all!

With this thought, they felt a little more at ease and continued listening to Qiu Tu and Qian Dafu's conversation.

Qiu Tu, "How did you remotely control Yin Caimei's death?"

Qian Dafu said sincerely, "There are two pieces of that Cataclysmic Treasure, both printed by the [Curse Printer], one is a book and the other is a notebook, called [Curse Blueprint]."

"As long as the other person's physical condition is written in the book, the person who possesses the book will be cursed accordingly."

“After I learned that Yin Caimei had been arrested by the Political Department, I was worried that she would leak our secrets. So I wrote down the condition ‘sudden cardiac death 10 hours later’ in my notebook.”

"In this way, as long as she comes into contact with books and there is no magical artifact that can shield her from the power of the cataclysm, she will be cursed and die suddenly 10 hours later."

Hearing Qian Dafu's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then continued to ask, "Where is that notebook now?"

Qian Dafu said, "It's in a safe in a hidden compartment in my basement."

Qiu Tu, "The safe's combination."

Qian Dafu, “486883284”.

Qiu Tu picked up a pen and paper, wrote down the relevant information, and then casually handed it to the eagle.

The eagle was completely dumbfounded.

Compared to Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, who had worked in the Political Department for a long time, he and Akun had only recently joined the political department. Therefore, this was his first time participating in an interrogation by the Political Department.

When he saw Qian Dafu, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now answering every question without warning under some unknown force, he had only one thought in his mind:

Are interrogations conducted by the Political Department always this extreme?

No wonder all the factions in the New Territories City turn pale at the mere mention of the Special Branch!

If he had that ability, he could terrify all his enemies so much that they couldn't sleep at night!

So when Qiu Tu handed him the note, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, took the note, and quickly left the interrogation room to join the "outbound action team" that was on standby outside to collect evidence.

After doing all this, Eagle stood at the door of the interrogation room for two seconds, suppressing the rapid beating of his heart that had been pounding since the beginning, and quickly returned to the interrogation room, afraid of missing any part of the interrogation process.

Because, in those two seconds, he also realized that something was wrong with the interrogation!

Qiu Tu could easily interrogate all the prisoners by himself, so why did he call in the four of them to assist him?

Is Qiu Tu trying to show them another side of this world through this method? A... new world with all sorts of extraordinary powers!

No ordinary person can resist the allure of extraordinary power, and eagles are no exception.

So he was tempted. He knew this could very well be a second chance to change his life!

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity.

With that thought in mind, Eagle quickly returned to the interrogation room.

Fortunately, he didn't miss anything. As soon as he stepped into the interrogation room, Qiu Tu asked, "Where did you get that set of Cataclysmic Artifacts?"

Upon hearing this question, the eagle listened intently.

Qian Dafu's expression showed even more struggle, but he still couldn't help but tell the truth, "From the Qin family. It was Third Master Qin who gave it to me."

Upon hearing this, the eagle looked up at Qiu Tu in surprise.

To his surprise, Qiu Tu seemed to have expected this and remained unsurprised, calmly asking, "Do you have any contact with or cooperation with anti-government armed groups like the Alliance?"

Qian Dafu seemed about to give up. He nodded blankly, "Yes, there is contact and cooperation."

He explained in detail, "After all, the New Territories City was only recently designated as a planned area. Previously, this area was affected by anti-government armed groups, so everyone already had connections."

“Intercity trade requires long journeys. During this time, anti-government forces can protect us, but they can also plunder us at any time, so we must maintain good relations with them.”

Qiu Tu asked, "What kind of dealings?"

Qian Dafu: "We cooperated with the anti-government armed forces, providing them with large quantities of supplies, medicine, and weapons..."

"And they paid us 5% more than the market price and protected the security of our intercity trade."

"So we often purchase supplies in the unplanned areas and then sell them to anti-government armed groups under the pretext of being robbed."

Upon hearing Qian Dafu's confession, Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, and Lao Ying's expressions all changed.

It wasn't that it became ugly, but rather that it became incredibly beautiful—because, upon hearing this, they immediately knew they had uncovered a major case!

A major transport company colluded with anti-government forces, supplying them with resources. If this isn't a big case, then there aren't many bigger ones!

However, Qiu Tu did not think so.

He continued, "What about the other transport companies?"

Qian Dafu looked conflicted. "They were involved too..."

"Phew!" Cao Dabiao was the most impatient person on the scene. He took a deep breath, and his excitement was almost impossible to hide.

Eagle and Ah Kun kept exchanging glances, trying to tell from each other's eyes whether they were hallucinating.

But Qiu Tu's story was far from over.

He looked at Qian Dafu with a cold gaze, "Where is the Qin family?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Qian Dafu's face nearly broke into tears. He replied, "I participated."

"Fuck..." This was the last curse word that Ah Kun almost blurted out.

Cao Dabiao was dumbfounded, and even the usually calm and composed Eagle and Chen Feng showed surprise on their faces!

The fact that the four major transport companies were transferring profits to anti-government forces is already big enough. Now, the Qin family, one of the largest families in the New Territories, is also involved?

This is absolutely a bombshell!

Qiu Tu looked at Qian Dafu quietly for two seconds, then asked, "Was Vice President Tian involved?"

This time, Qian Dafu's face clearly showed confusion. He seemed to recall something before saying, "I don't know. He's always stayed on the periphery of our group and never participated in our gatherings."

"Even if something happens, it's always the Qin family that contacts him."

"So, I don't know whether he was involved in this, whether it was a transaction, or... being used."

Qiu Tu nodded upon hearing this. Getting so much information from Qian Dafu was already enough.

His "catastrophe ability" only allows him to hear "the truth," not "the facts," so he needs to find other prisoners to complete and verify what Qian Dafu confessed, to see if there are any errors or omissions in the new details.

Thinking this, he gestured to the eagle.

Eagle nodded and quickly went out to tell Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan to replace the suspect.

Seeing him come out two or three times in such a short time, Liu Fuping, who had been directing things from the outside, had a flicker in her eyes. She then took the initiative to come up and ask, "Is the interrogation going smoothly?"

Qiu Tu had Eagle relay messages because he valued Eagle's tight-lipped nature.

So when Liu Fuping asked him, the eagle just smiled and said ambiguously, "It's alright."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fuping glanced at the eagle without showing any emotion, and guessed in her heart: It seems... things are not going very smoothly.
