With this in mind, Qiu Tu glanced at Secretary Bai secretly while continuing to drink tea.
At this time, Secretary Bai acted as if those words were not his. He just lowered his head and sipped the tea quietly, looking very calm.
Qiu Tu recalled all the scenes of Secretary Bai in his memory and found that he seemed to have this expression all the time.
With a faint smile on his face, there was neither aggression nor alienation, but a peaceful state of mind.
It's like for him, everything in this world is just passing by, and he doesn't care and doesn't pay attention to it.
To be honest, it was precisely because of this impression of Secretary Bai that Qiu Tu felt a little unbelievable after discovering that Secretary Bai was most likely a follower of the evil god.
After all, how could such a person with no desires be tempted by the evil god and become a believer of the evil god!
What could the evil god use to tempt him?
Money, power? Beauty, immortality?
To be honest, I don't know if he knows people but doesn't know their hearts. Qiu Tu always feels that at least Secretary Bai doesn't care about this on the surface.
While Qiu Tu was thinking this, Secretary Bai also put down the tea cup in his hand, then pointed to the small courtyard of his villa with a smile and said, "Do you still remember those flowers that you and Atai gave me?
?”
Qiu Tu recalled it for a moment, and then remembered that Secretary Bai had no other hobbies except reading and admiring flowers.
Books are treasures in troubled times, and Qiu Tu and Atai couldn't get them. So after Secretary Bai returned to New Territories City, Qiu Tu and Atai dug up a few flowers from the suburbs and gave them to Secretary Bai.
Secretary Bai liked it very much at the time and praised the two of them for their vision.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but say, "Oh, remember. Atai and I went to the countryside to dig the chrysanthemums for you."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Secretary Bai smiled slightly, then gestured towards Qiu Tu, then stood up and walked towards the small courtyard.
When Qiu Tu saw this, he couldn't help but follow him.
Walking to the inner courtyard of the villa, what struck Qiu Tu's eyes were several beautiful and graceful chrysanthemums.
The scape of the chrysanthemum is tall and protruding, the buds are round, growing towards the sky, two flowers with one arrow, and the petals are curved and curled.
Seeing those chrysanthemums, Secretary Bai sighed slightly, then squatted down, caressing them, and said, "Everything in this world is actually shrouded in a dream-like white mist."
"Sometimes, you think you have seen the truth, but you are actually wrong."
Speaking of this, Secretary Bai pointed to the flowers and said with a smile, "You and Atai always thought they were chrysanthemums."
"And these flowers do look like chrysanthemums."
"But they are not actually chrysanthemums, but orchids."
"Orchidaceae, Orchidaceae, Goldenrod."
"A type of orchid that was very valuable before the Cataclysm Era. Unexpectedly, you two rough guys dug it up."
"Even though it looks like a chrysanthemum, and its name is also called 'Chrysanthemum', it is actually an orchid."
Qiu Tu listened to Secretary Bai's words that seemed to have profound meaning, and then couldn't help but ask, "In this case, is it right or wrong for Atai and I to dig it up?"
Secretary Bai stood up with a smile, then patted Qiu Tu on the shoulder, "Of course you are right."
"No matter what it looks like, you still have to dig it."
"After all, if you let it wander outside, no one knows what might happen, right?"
"It's just that when you dig it, you have to figure out what it is and why it looks like this."
"By accumulating in this way, your experience will become richer and richer, and you will not make mistakes again when encountering similar things in the future."
Speaking of this, Secretary Bai paused again, "What's more, if you didn't dig it back then, how could you meet me naturally?"
"Do you really think you can see me casually?"
Speaking of this, Secretary Bai smiled and blinked, "I'm very philistine."
After hearing the pun, Qiu Tu took a deep look at Secretary Bai, then smiled and nodded, "I understand."
After finishing what he wanted to say tonight, Secretary Bai patted Qiu Tu on the shoulder, and then joked, "Okay. We've finished talking and looked at the flowers."
"Let's go out and have another cup of tea."
"Director Tang is still waiting for you outside. The night is short and love is long, don't let the beautiful woman wait in vain."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu took a deep breath and nodded.
Then, back to the living room, Secretary Bai made the last cup of tea. After Qiu Tu drank it, he stood up and left the villa without looking back.
Looking at Qiu Tu's back, Secretary Bai slowly walked to the piano, sat down, and started playing the piano again.
An unknown song carries a touch of separation and regret, as if it is sending off Qiu Tu.
The blue moonlight shone down on Secretary Bai's body and his face, which always had a slight smile, making it extremely quiet.
Walk out of Secretary Bai's villa.
Qiu Tu raised his head and looked into the distance. Tang Feifei was standing on the top of a tree with her hands in her pockets, looking at herself quietly.
Although this woman may be a little violent, a little hungry, and a little cold and arrogant, she is still very reliable in her work.
Qiu Tu was worried that if he came to Secretary Bai tonight, he would encounter the evil god, so he called her directly.
And successfully hired Tang Feifei to come over for the price of one night.
Tang Feifei initially wanted to enter the villa with Qiu Tu, but Qiu Tu declined her proposal on the grounds that he did not want to alert others.
So Tang Feifei directly surveyed the terrain around the villa and finally chose the top of the pine tree.
According to her words, standing on the top of this pine tree can give you a bird's eye view of the entire villa.
Coupled with the state of "spiritual vision", she can clearly see all the movements and status of Qiu Tu and Secretary Bai, which facilitates her rescue.
Qiu Tu felt that her reasons were very good, so he agreed.
At this time, seeing Qiu Tu returning safely, Tang Feifei stepped forward and opened her hands, like a flying falcon falling from the treetops.
Arriving at Qiu Tu's side, Tang Feifei swept her eyes up and down Qiu Tu's body, and then asked coldly, "Is everything okay?"
Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
Tang Feifei said, "Then let's go back to my house and talk."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards her villa with her long legs.
The villas of Tang Feifei and Secretary Bai are not far from each other. In other words, except for Yan Ai who arranged for someone to build an independent manor, several senior officials of the Investigation Agency all built single-family villas together.
When we arrived at Tang Feifei's house, there were no outsiders in the villa except for the people patrolling outside.
The two sat on the sofa and chatted about the meeting with Secretary Bai just now.
Tang Feifei asked coldly, "Is it Bai Yu?"
Qiu Tu nodded solemnly, and then said, "It should be him."
Tang Feifei looked at it half-squinted, like a female leopard eager to take action when facing prey, "How can you be sure?"
Qiu Tu recounted all the conversations and expressions he had with Secretary Bai from the beginning to the end when he left.
Perhaps because she wasn't very good at such tortuous conversations, Tang Feifei frowned slightly.
She raised her head slightly, her wheat-colored face full of dissatisfaction, "What riddles are you playing?"
Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh.
He explained, "Lao Bai is indeed a person who likes to play riddles."
Qiu Tu gave an example, "It's like when he wanted me to escape, but he didn't directly tell me where to escape. Instead, he told me that Director Liu of Dongcheng City had some conflicts with Yan Ai."
"Cue me this way."
Hearing this, Tang Feifei nodded slightly with a cold expression and gave her own evaluation, "Bai Yu really likes to beat around the bush when he talks. He never answers people."
After speaking, she asked, "But, what did you hear from his words?"
Qiu Tu shook his head slightly, and then explained to Tang Feifei, "You must listen to Lao Bai's words in half and listen to metaphors."
"From the first sentence I met with Lao Bai, he actually gave me a hint."
"He said that I should have come a long time ago. In fact, he was telling me that I was looking for the right person. But it was a bit late."
"And saying that the house is full of ambushes implies to me that the two of us are actually hostile."
"Even if he gave various explanations later, they were just explanations."
"Afterwards, he told me that Huang Shangzong's counselor came to New Territories City and was preparing to do harm to me."
"Actually, it revealed two pieces of information."
"The first layer is the surface information. It reminds me that Huang Shangzong is planning to attack me. The second layer is what he really wants to express: he has not changed in fact, and he has never wanted to harm me."
"But at that time, because I didn't know his position or what he was thinking, I couldn't figure out what he really wanted to express, so I could only continue to test."
"I asked him directly before if he was a follower of the evil god, and he denied it."
"Whether he doesn't want to admit it directly and leaves the topic behind; or he has some kind of restraint and can't admit it. Anyway, I know that I can't ask so directly."
"So, I simply started collecting information."
"I asked him three questions. When will my secretary arrange it? Who supports Zheng Tao's promotion to deputy director? Who will take over Yan Yan's daughter Yanyan."
"These three questions may not seem to have any problems, but in fact they are full of mysteries."
"Zheng Tao is now confirmed to be a follower of La Riluo, so the person who promoted him and asked him to target me is probably the high-level traitor."
"And La Riluo wants to use Zheng Tao's wife to seduce me and ask her to be my secretary. But as a deputy minister, I have to have a secretary. And once I have a new secretary, Zheng Tao's wife Tan Huimin
I will definitely leave."
"So in order to prevent Tan Huimin from leaving, the traitor at the top must interfere with the selection of my new secretary." (Chapter 213)
"The only thing about picking up Yan Ai's daughter is because I am almost certain that the girl who is next to Yan Ai now is the evil god La Riluo."
"That's why I used these three questions to test Secretary Bai."
"Secretary Bai's answer to the first question was quite normal. He said that Shi Youxin, the director of the Organization Department, was interfering with my choice of secretary."
"The second question is a bit wrong. Because he raised the second suspect: Deputy Director Yu Zhengyi. He said that Director Yu promoted Zheng Tao."
"As for the third question, he is completely lying."
"He said that Ji Chen went to pick up Yan Ai's daughter that day, and he just greeted her at the door of the villa."
"But in fact, Ji Chen stayed with me and Yan Ai from the evening that day. Instead, he disappeared for a long time. It was not until evening that he returned to the villa."
Hearing this, Tang Feifei's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "So, he's exposed?"
Qiu Tu shook his head, "No. He was deliberately giving me hints."
Tang Feifei was a little confused, "Hint?"
Qiu Tu nodded, "Yes. Because he actually knows that Ji Chen has always been by my side."
"He was telling me lies. The two questions he answered before were actually false."
"The real answer is actually all him."
"He was the one who promoted Zheng Tao, he was the one who prevented the administrative office from assigning me a new secretary, and he was the one who brought the Evil God to Yan Ai."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei frowned deeply, "But why did he do this?"
Tang Feifei was obviously stunned by the tacit understanding between Qiu Tu and Secretary Bai.
Her wheat-colored face was filled with confusion.
Then she frowned slightly and coldly made two assumptions, "If he is really a believer of the evil god, he should pretend that everything has nothing to do with him, or frame all three things on one person to divert your attention.
Investigation direction."
"If he is not a believer of the evil god, he shouldn't do these things for the evil god! He is kidding with his own life!"
