It was not without reason that Qiu Tu felt something was wrong.
He specially applied for this morgue to store Yin Caimei's body separately.
Judging from Zheng Tao's footsteps just now, he was not inspecting the floors, but coming directly towards the morgue.
But the problem is that the Yin Caimei case was handed over to Qiu Tu by Jia Shu alone and has nothing to do with the interrogation department.
And Zheng Tao is not a member of the investigation team, so he has no reason to come to this morgue.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu quietly took a few steps back, creating the illusion that he was not at the door, and then he opened his mouth and said to the door, "I'm inside."
Zheng Tao was obviously very familiar with Qiu Tu's voice, so as soon as he heard it, he hesitated and asked, "Deputy Section Chief Qiu?"
When Qiu Tu saw this, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it's Section Chief Zheng. What's wrong?"
After speaking, Qiu Tu winked at Qin Shuman.
Qin Shuman tacitly handed the [Mist Index Book] to Qiu Tu, and then looked around the entire morgue.
Finally, I got into a morgue.
At this time, Zheng Tao's confused voice came over, "What are you doing in the morgue?"
Qiu Tu quietly closed the morgue, then walked to the door and opened the morgue door.
As expected, there was a puzzled Zheng Tao standing outside the door.
Qiu Tu stood at the door and said with a smile, "How fresh it is. I must be doing an autopsy in the morgue. Or am I here to be a corpse?"
Qiu Tu's neither softness nor hardness hit a snag. Zheng Tao frowned. He glanced into the morgue, and then asked, "Deputy Chief Qiu is investigating the case?"
Qiu Tu frowned slightly, but still nodded, "Yes."
After saying that, he asked, "Chief Zheng is out of get off work so late, why is he hanging out in the morgue?"
Zheng Tao said "Oh" and said, "I'm fine, just doing a routine inspection."
"When I came over here, I found that the lights in your morgue were still on, and there seemed to be faint voices in the room, so I came over to check."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Can I go in and take a look?"
Although he was asking, he had already walked into the morgue before he finished speaking.
Qiu Tu's eyes darkened, but he didn't stop him.
Zheng Tao walked in the morgue with riding boots and slowly looked at the furnishings in the morgue. "Deputy Chief Qiu is alone?"
Qiu Tu smiled and said "Yeah".
The moment he discovered Zheng Tao outside the door, Qiu Tu was actually thinking about whether to let Zheng Tao meet Qin Shuman (Su Xiaowan).
But thinking that he and Tang Feifei haven't really gotten along yet, if Su Xiaowan is exposed now, it may lead to various changes. So in the end, he decided to let Qin Shuman (Su Xiaowan) hide and go there by himself
Go to the door to deal with it.
Originally, he thought that it would be just a matter of prevaricating Zheng Tao and driving Zheng Tao away.
As a result, who would have thought that Zheng Tao came here to check after vaguely hearing the sound. Moreover, he ignored his refusal and barged in directly. He simply didn't give him any face.
Perhaps aware of Qiu Tu's conflicting mood, Zheng Tao lifted up the white cloth on Yin Caimei's body, glanced at it, looked back at Qiu Tu, and said with a smile, "Deputy Section Chief Qiu, don't get me wrong."
"I'm not meddling in other people's business."
"But you also know that there are many strange and mysterious powers in this world."
"And corpses are particularly attracted to this kind of power."
"I really vaguely heard some strange noises just now. For peace of mind, I must investigate more carefully."
After saying that, he walked to the morgue cabinets on both sides of the morgue and began to pull out the morgue cabinets.
Because this morgue was specially set aside for Yin Caimei, the morgue cabinets were all empty.
Zheng Tao opened one, looked at it twice, closed it, and then opened the next one.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu also took out the [Mist Index Book], and then said, "Could Chief Zheng be talking about the sound made by this cataclysmic treasure?"
He said, "I just used this to examine Yin Caimei's body."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao stopped in front of the morgue where Qin Shuman was hiding.
He turned his head and glanced at the catastrophic treasure in Qiu Tu's eyes, with a trace of thought in his eyes.
After a moment, he nodded and affirmed, "It's possible."
"After all, the Catastrophic Noble Phantasm may make various strange noises when used."
With that said, he suddenly opened the morgue where Qin Shuman was!
In the cupboard.
Empty.
Seeing this, Zheng Tao slowly closed the cabinet, and then continued to open the remaining morgue cabinets one by one.
Soon, all the morgue cabinets were inspected.
Zheng Tao looked around the morgue again, and then said to Qiu Tu with a smile, "It seems that it is indeed the abnormal noise made by the Cataclysmic Treasure."
"I'm too sensitive."
After speaking, he walked to Qiu Tu's side, patted Qiu Tu's shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Thank you for your hard work, Chief Qiu."
"You didn't get off work early tonight like yesterday, but took the initiative to work overtime. I'm very happy."
"As agents, we should seize every minute and every second and work hard. Only in this way can we become the director's right-hand man in the future."
Qiu Tu:
Although there is no such thing as "serving the people" in this world, Qiu Tu was still a little surprised by such an outspoken desire to be the chief's "lackey".
Therefore, he also smiled and said, "The section chief is overthinking. The overtime I worked tonight will be made up for with my vacation tomorrow."
"I won't come tomorrow morning."
Zheng Tao, who was about to walk out, stumbled and almost tripped.
He glared at Qiu Tu bitterly, snorted lightly, and then strode out of the morgue.
But after he left, Qiu Tu did not take it lightly.
He took a deep breath, and then said to himself, "Hey, let's compare the murder weapons."
After saying that, he walked out of the morgue and went to get the evidence.
After he left, the entire morgue slowly fell into silence.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe one minute, maybe five minutes.
In the silent morgue, there was a sudden "click-click" twisting sound of the door handle.
But maybe because Qiu Tu locked the door before leaving, he twisted it a few times, but the morgue door was not opened.
However, this time the people outside the door were obviously well prepared.
After inserting the key and twisting it twice, the door was opened, and Zheng Tao, who had just left, came back.
He swept the entire morgue with sinister eyes, then directly opened all the morgue cabinets and lifted off the white cloth on Yin Caimei's body.
After the second inspection, after confirming that there was really no one, Zheng Tao frowned.
He restored everything, exited the morgue, and relocked the morgue door with the spare key.
Standing at the door of the morgue, Zheng Tao's eyes flickered for a few times, then he took out his communicator and made a call.
After a while, the call was connected.
Zheng Tao whispered, "Minister, there is only Qiu Tu inside."
Jia Shu's smiling voice came from the receiver, "Oh? Really? Have you checked carefully?"
Zheng Tao said, "I checked very carefully. I checked before he left. After he left, I checked again, and there was no one there."
"He should be investigating the case alone tonight."
Jia Shu said with a half-smile, "That's good, that's good."
Zheng Tao was obviously a little confused. He asked tentatively, "Minister, have you discovered anything?"
Jia Shu smiled and said, "No. I was just a little worried. Now I see that my worries were unnecessary."
For some reason, Zheng Tao actually heard a hint of disappointment in Jia Shu's words.
He wanted to ask Jia Shu what he was worried about, but knowing the character of his boss, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
And at the same time.
[Jia Shu’s suspicion level -1, satisfaction level -3]
In the temporary office of the investigation team, Qiu Tugu had just taken the book "Brave New World" into his hands when he found a reminder of "Loyalty Game" popping up in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked a question.
‘Doubtfulness -1? Satisfaction -3?’
Are you hallucinating?
Why has skepticism decreased and satisfaction decreased?
Qiu Tu really felt that he couldn't understand Jia Shu's game values ​​at all.
What the hell is this?
Could it be that Jia Shu is actually a spy?
He found out that he was loyal to the Bureau of Investigation, so he was disappointed in himself?
Or is he a pervert, betraying the Bureau of Investigation to satisfy him?
Qiu Tu felt that it was really hard to understand the idea of ​​perversion!
While complaining about Jia Shu in his heart, Qiu Tu took the evidence and went to the morgue.
When he came to the morgue and opened the door with the key, Qiu Tu saw the morgue, and Qin Shuman was standing next to the morgue where he had just hidden, looking at Qiu Tu with a complicated expression.
Qiu Tu locked the door first, and then asked softly, "Is he here again?"
Qin Shuman nodded slightly.
A smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face.
Fortunately, when he discovered that Zheng Tao had a problem, he decisively used his catastrophic ability [Order Space]. And set the rules for today: no one can see, hear, or smell except himself.
Touch and feel Qin Shuman (Su Xiaowan).
And after he left the morgue, this rule was still not lifted.
That's why Zheng Tao conducted two investigations and completely ignored Qin Shuman's existence: in fact, Qin Shuman was lying quietly in the morgue.
What makes Qiu Tu even more fortunate is that Su Xiaowan and Zheng Tao are both ordinary people.
If they were catastrophes like Qin Shuman or Jia Shu, then Qiu Tu's ability would be ineffective and he would not be able to hide from the truth like he is now.
At that time, he will need to make up more excuses and lies to make things right.
Sure enough, catastrophic ability changes the world!
With this in mind, Qiu Tu dispelled his catastrophic ability, and then handed the [Mist Index Book] and "Brave New World" to Qin Shuman.
Feeling the discomfort of having his mental energy drained away, Qiu Tuqiang held on and said, "Help me see if this book is a murder weapon."
Qin Shuman looked at him with complicated eyes, took the book, and used the [Misty Index Book].
A moment later, just when Qiu Tu felt that the side effects of his catastrophic ability were gradually disappearing, Qin Shuman's voice rang in his ears, "I checked. This book is indeed the murder weapon."
Qiu Tu raised his head and looked at Qin Shuman.
Qin Shuman smiled at him and said,
"Since this book is the murder weapon that killed Yin Caimei."
"Then there is only one last mystery left in this case."
"That is, who gave this book to Yin Caimei."
"As long as we can figure this out, we can determine who the murderer is with a high probability."
"And" when he said this, Qin Shuman paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The murderer is also very likely to be the thorn in the side of the anti-government armed forces!"
Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, and then asked, "Who do you think gave her this book?"
Qin Shuman thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say. There are too many people suspected. For example, Vice Chairman Tian, ​​the transporters, and one of her friends."
"You'd better go investigate Yin Caimei or people close to Vice President Tian."
"Let's see when this book appeared in her hands."
"This helps us narrow down the scope quickly."
Speaking of this, Qin Shuman paused and said, "I hope she didn't bring it out when she left the rebels."
Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu showed a thoughtful expression in his eyes. He shook his head slightly, "There is a high probability that it will not be there from the beginning."
"According to previous confessions, her acquaintance with Vice Chairman Tian was an accident."
"The rebels probably don't have the financial resources to give every ordinary spy a catastrophic treasure that can silence anyone, right?"
After hearing Qiu Tu's analysis, Qin Shuman also nodded slightly.
At this time, while the two were talking.
Suddenly, Qiu Tu's communicator rang.
Qiu Tu took out the communicator from his pocket and took a look, with a bright smile on his face, "The person who sent the message is here."
As he said that, he showed Qin Shuman the caller.
It clearly shows: Tian Xiaotian——
