The rain outside the window was falling hard, hitting the window, which was particularly clear in the quiet study.
Yan Ai's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice to the person on the other end of the phone, "Let the Political Department, no, let Lao Chu come over and check the traces. See if there are any fingerprints or other clues left."
"You call Lao Huang again and ask him to send you a few catastrophic treasures and check if there are any traces of catastrophic power."
"Yes." The person on the other side of the phone heard Yan Ai's words and responded quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ai took a deep breath and put out the cigarette on the table! Then he looked at Qiu Tu quietly with a pair of tiger eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Qiu Tu tried his best to act as normal as possible, so the eyes he looked at Yan Ai looked innocent.
Yan Ai stared at Qiu Tu quietly for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "You heard the two phone calls just now."
Qiu Tu said "hmm".
Yan Ai, "What are your thoughts?"
Upon hearing Yan Ai's inquiry, Qiu Tu asked himself to forget all his plans for today and put himself in the shoes of an agent who knew nothing about the matter.
He pondered quietly for a while, and then said tentatively, "Is there a mole in our investigation agency?"
Yan Ai stared at Qiu Tu coldly and said nothing. Because what Qiu Tu said was nonsense: If the mole is not revealed, can the evidence fly away on its own?
Qiu Tu saw this and said after careful consideration, "I feel that the mole should most likely be someone close to you."
Yan Ai said "Oh?" expressionlessly, "Why do you say that?"
Qiu Tu smiled sarcastically, "Because... the only people who can know the password of your safe and know your habits and know that you will put evidence in the safe are the people around you, right?"
Yan Ai obviously didn't really want to hear Qiu Tu's analysis, but wanted to find clues or loopholes in Qiu Tu's words, so he said "hmm" and asked, "So is there anyone who has doubts?"
Qiu Tu coughed and gave Yan An a candidate he had never thought of, "Secretary Bai?"
Maybe this choice was too unexpected for Yan Ai, so his eyes moved slightly and he thought quietly for two seconds before asking, "Why him."
Qiu Tu considered it and said, "It's just a guess."
"Secretary Bai is, after all, one of your most trusted people. He should know a lot about your habits and the password to your safe."
"Moreover, when the people from the investigation team came to deliver the evidence, he brought it in. So he knew that after the evidence entered your office, he never left it again."
"In addition, he also knows why I came to you, so he can guess what evidence the investigation team sent."
"In this way, he meets all the prerequisites for handling the case."
Yan Ai seemed to be really thinking about whether Secretary Bai might be the thief. So, after a moment, he asked, "What's the motive?"
Considering the relationship between Qiu Tu and Secretary Bai, of course he would not really throw dirty water on Secretary Bai just to protect himself. He was just using Secretary Bai to lead to the next topic.
So, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "I guess Secretary Bai will have a conflict with the Qin family?"
"It's also possible that he thinks that if the Qin family has taken refuge with you, his position with you will not be guaranteed?"
"Or maybe he had a conflict with you during this time? He simply wanted to take revenge on you?"
"Or, perhaps, he actually secretly reached some kind of agreement with the military or city hall? Is this a petition?"
Qiu Tu's series of motivation hypotheses made Yan Ai frown. Because, listening to Qiu Tu's motivations, the suspect Yan Ai thought of was not Secretary Bai, but Jia Shu.
After all, although Secretary Bai is his right-hand man, he does more administrative work, such as helping him file all information and work, and helping him handle various chores in the department.
Although such a job has a lot of power, it is actually very complicated and detailed, and it is difficult to exercise power externally. Therefore, few people at the same level are willing to replace Secretary Bai or compete with Secretary Bai.
In contrast, Jia Shu is different.
As his right-hand man, Jia Shu not only has a closer relationship with him, but also controls the Political Department, the most powerful department of the Investigation Agency.
In addition, he instructs Jia Shu to handle many private matters, so Jia Shu can often borrow his power to act in New Territories City - this is also one of the important reasons for the change of attitude of the New Territories City Press and Political Department.
Therefore, once the Qin family and Yan Ai get too close, it will inevitably affect Jia Shu's status in his heart. He will no longer need Jia Shu's help in many things, which will further weaken Jia Shu's influence in the entire New Territories City.
Power.
And then I thought about it, Jia Shu knew the password of the safe and also knew his habit of putting evidence in that safe.
For a time, Jia Shu's suspicion in Yan Ai's heart increased sharply.
More importantly, Jia Shu has always had a rift with Yan Ai because of the Yin Caimei case. Jia Shu has always paid special attention to the Yin Caimei case. Even Yan Ai didn't know what kind of role Jia Shu played in it.
role, which undoubtedly increased his suspicion.
Thinking of this, Yan An frowned deeply, and for a moment he couldn't even think about doubting Qiu Tu.
As the director of the Investigation Department, Yan Ai is the one who sticks to his word in the Investigation Department. If he wants to investigate a case or use a catastrophic treasure, he does not need to go through layers of approval like Qiu Tu or need to wait for his superior to receive it.
So, just 10 minutes later, the phone call came again.
At this time, the study room has been quiet for 10 minutes.
During these 10 minutes, Yan Ai had been smoking quietly, so there were a few more cigarette butts in the ashtray, and the entire study became foggy. Coupled with the fog coming in from the window, it was like a fallen wonderland.
.
In the white mist, Yan Ai slowly picked up the receiver of the landline phone and said "Hello?" in a hoarse voice.
The voice of the man Yan Ai contacted came from the other side of the phone, "Director. Lao Chu checked the marks on the black box and found that it only had your fingerprints on it."
"And in the safe, apart from your and my fingerprints, there are only those of Secretary Bai and Minister Jia. There are no traces of outsiders."
"As for the surveillance outside the office, we have also checked. Due to confidentiality principles, the surveillance on the ninth floor has not been turned on. So it has no effect for the time being."
Having said this, the man paused and then said, "As for the traces of the disaster at the scene, we used the [Backtracking Locator] to locate it and confirmed that around 8:30, that is, after you left the Exploration Agency, someone checked this
The safe uses catastrophic abilities or catastrophic Noble Phantasms."
The man concluded, "To sum up, we suspect that a catastrophic person may have stolen the important information in your safe."
When Yan Ai heard this, his eyes were as dark as deep pools. He said "hmm" and said, "Continue to investigate. See if we can get more clues."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
With his hands quietly propped up on the table, Yan Ai was like an active volcano that had not yet erupted. Although his expression was calm, no one knew how much anger was contained in it.
As a result, at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the study room "dong dong dong" from outside.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qiu Tu looked at Yan Ai, wanting to ask if he should open the door. But before he could ask, Ji Chen had already walked to the carved door of the study and opened it.
Qiu Tu:
There are still competitors for the job of a poor assistant! In this world, it is really difficult to find a job!
While thinking this, Qiu Tu also looked towards the study door.
Standing at the door is Secretary Bai.
He seemed to have just come back from outside, and there were still water stains on his trousers and soles.
And judging from the fact that his left shoulder and even the left half of his body were still wet, it was obvious that he did not come alone, but with another person of high status.
While Qiu Tu was thinking this, Secretary Bai also walked into the study. He first nodded towards Ji Chen, then looked at Qiu Tu expressionlessly, and then walked to Yan Ai.
He bent down and whispered in Yan Ai's ear, "Director, Yanyan is here."
"Because it rained, I drove slower on the road, which delayed me a bit."
"I just asked the maid to send her upstairs to take a shower and drink a cup of ginger soup."
"She misses you a little. She wants you to accompany her."
Hearing Secretary Bai's words, Yan Ai said a deep "Yeah", and then said coldly, "I'm busy today, so I won't care about her for now. Let her rest by herself."
After saying that, he said to Secretary Bai, "I happen to have something to discuss with you, so please stay for a while."
After saying that, Yan Ai raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Tu again.
Compared with his warm attitude towards Qiu Tu during the day, he now looked at Qiu Tu with obvious disgust, "Qiu Tu, please go out first."
"We need to discuss something."
Upon hearing Yan Ai's order, Qiu Tu didn't pay attention: he was a very reasonable person and stabbed the other person in the back, so of course he had to allow the other person to be angry.
So, he said obediently, "Okay, Director."
After saying that, he left the study.
As he slowly closed the door of the carved study room, Qiu Tu vaguely heard Yan Ai slowly speak in his unique low, hoarse voice, "There may be a spy in the senior management of the Investigation Agency."
Apparently, Yan Ai was preparing to discuss tonight's affairs with Secretary Bai.
And when he thought about the relationship between Secretary Bai and himself, Qiu Tu's lips showed a rare smile. It seemed that God had chosen to be on his side.
Jia Shu had to bear the blame if he didn't want to.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall his plan for tonight.
In fact, after interrogating Bai Ru, Qiu Tu discovered that his situation was not good.
The reason has been explained before, that is, Qin Heng is now an important partner and vassal of Yan Ai.
If Yan Ai wants to expand his power, he must protect him. So when the case is investigated at this stage, there is almost no way to continue the investigation!
But the problem is that Qiu Tu already knows so many secrets and has arrested three of the four brothers of the Qin family. He and the Qin family are really in a fight to the death.
Even if Qiu Tu surrenders to the Qin family and Yan Ai makes peace with him, the problem is that there are still obstacles between Qiu Tu and Yan Ai!
When Yan Ai discovered what Qiu Tu had done behind his back, Qiu Tu was still dead.
In addition, the huge benefits that can be generated after the fall of the Qin family
Therefore, Qiu Tu would really not be willing to give up like this!
He could neither watch Yan Ai grow bigger in New Territories City, nor lose this opportunity to bring down the Qin family, nor let the cooked benefits fly away.
So, after thinking about it, he decided to play a big one! Play all the key characters in Yan Ai's lineup directly! A stud!
Since he is tied up now and cannot handle this case, he will make a big deal with the Security Department and let the Security Department handle this case!
Just flip the table over! Everyone, stop playing!
So, he called Qin Shuman directly and negotiated a huge deal.
Although the transaction is large, the content is very simple.
Qiu Tu will provide Qin Shuman with:
A list of all 33 officials in New Territories City involved in this case, including 1 committee member, 1 director, 5 deputy directors and 26 section chiefs and deputy section chiefs;
The property and title deeds that Fourth Master Qin had not yet had time to change;
And. Qin Heng, evidence that the Qin family colluded with the RUF to make a fortune.
What Qin Shuman and the Security Department need to pay is:
Qin Siye’s real estate, cash equivalent to the land deed;
The technical backbone of a certain industry of the Qin family, the right to dispose of 30 private armed forces among the four major transport companies;
And. A legal secret identity in the Security Department, at least at the level of captain (section chief). You may not have a position or be responsible for specific work, but you must have a rank.
The terms of exchange between the two parties were almost equal, and even with the status of "captain", Qiu Tu was a little bit open-minded.
But Qin Shuman and Dai Yukang were obviously people who wanted to do big things, so after a brief discussion, they agreed.
In this way, although Qiu Tu paid almost all the "cards" in his hand, he also received more generous benefits than he had previously expected.
He even got the most important insurance: the status of captain in the Security Department.
This will allow him to be more bold in executing his next plan to "change the day and night"!
After negotiating the exchange of interests with the Security Department, Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman confirmed several key nodes of today's entire plan.
1. In the next hour, someone will use Qiu Tu's special communicator to call Qin Shuman. The other party will not speak and hang up within a few seconds. This means that the plan has officially begun.
If you don't receive a call, all plans will be temporarily suspended until Qiu Tu contacts you again.
2. If she receives a call, then at 17:30, Qin Shuman will send someone to the entrance of the old alley to wait for a person named A Kun. At that time, A Kun will give her something. Be sure to
Put it away.
At 3.18 o'clock, the Security Department began to arrest the first batch of city hall officials involved according to the list provided by Qiu Tu, a total of 21 people!
At 4.19 o'clock, the second batch of city hall officials involved in the incident began to be arrested, a total of 13 people!
5. Starting from 19 o'clock, send people to guard the door of the Exploration Agency building, pay attention to the whereabouts of Yan Ai and Qiu Tu, and confirm that they left the Exploration Agency building together!——
