Chapter 270 Madam, are you okay? (10,000 words for monthly vote)
Hearing Qiu Tu's inquiry, Liu Xiongyuan, the tough old man, said, "What can change? It's still the rebels."
Liu Xiongyuan obviously didn't want to talk in depth. He simply said, "The interests of the Moonlight Lake are too great. All forces are ready to make a move."
"Tung City City and New Territories City are only areas to be planned, and the rebels have always been there to nail them."
"Every move cannot be kept secret."
"So, after learning that this moonlight lake was about to be formed, the RUF has been watching from the sidelines."
"The day before yesterday, the grandson of Yan Ai was promoted to the fourth level of catastrophe, which caused the New Territories City Military Headquarters to dispatch several teams of soldiers to protect him. This immediately gave them an opportunity."
"The RUF secretly mobilized a regular force of nearly tens of thousands of people from the disaster area to prepare for the battle for Moonlight Lake."
"And their spies in various cities started to secretly gather intelligence and assassinate officials like crazy."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiongyuan reminded, "You should also pay attention these days. Your status in New Territories City is not low now. In addition, you have had a grudge with them before, so you may also be included in the list."
Upon hearing Liu Xiongyuan's reminder, Qiu Tu politely thanked him, "Thank you, Director Liu, for your concern. I will pay attention and pay attention."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu said thoughtfully, "I just went to work today and I don't know the situation in New Territories City yet."
"It seems that we also need to make some preparations in advance to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes."
After talking about this topic, Qiu Tu also discussed the purpose of this call at the right time.
He was silent for two seconds, and then said softly, "Yan Ai's situation seems to have changed."
Liu Xiongyuan was obviously very concerned about the progress of Yan Ai Devouring, so when he heard Qiu Tu's words, his eyes suddenly condensed slightly, and then he asked in a deep voice, "What changes?"
Compared with New Territories City, which was just established one year ago, Dongcheng City has been established for five years. Whether it is political stability or urban prosperity, it is far ahead of New Territories City.
The streets here have almost all been leveled and even mostly paved with asphalt.
Street lights and trash cans were erected at equal intervals on every street.
The people on the streets are neatly dressed and clean, which shows that they already have a stable and cheap water source.
And from the fact that they are different from other cities in their sallow and thin appearance, it can be seen that their basic food and clothing needs have been solved.
In addition to the occasional passing cars, there are already rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages, and even bicycles on the road, indicating that the city's basic transportation and trade have been restored.
The agents wearing temporary agent uniforms patrolled the streets leisurely in twos and threes. It can also be seen that the security of the entire city has stabilized.
And right in the middle of such a city, which is far more prosperous than New Territories City, on the top floor of the 16-story Bureau of Investigation office building, is the director's office.
Liu Xiongyuan was standing by the window, frowning and talking on the phone while looking at the bustling scenery of Dongcheng City below his feet.
His skin is dark, and his face is like an old pine that has been carved by time, with deep wrinkles engraved in it, each of which seems to record the wind, frost and battles of the past.
Listening to Qiu Tu's words on the other end of the phone, his eyes were as dark as ink, shining with a cold and sharp light.
After Qiu Tu finished speaking, he said in a deep voice, "So, what you mean is that Yan Ai actually left a lot of lead time for himself?"
"Now that he realizes something is wrong, he begins to work hard to damage the foundation of the future and devour the evil god in advance?"
Qiu Tu on the other side of the phone said "hmm" and then said, "He has obviously made thorough preparations and backup plans. Even now, he still has some spare capacity."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to change the devouring speed so naturally."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan said, "How many days does it take for him to completely devour it?"
Qiu Tudao, "Five days."
He paused and added, "To be precise, maybe only 4.5 days."
When Liu Xiongyuan heard this, his thick and rough eyebrows slowly flew up, as if to symbolize his uneasy mood.
His mouth was tightly closed, and the corners of his mouth turned downward, forming a cold arc.
For a moment, his eyes slowly turned extremely cold, "Tomorrow. Tomorrow night, I will make the Moonlight Lake take shape in advance."
"Even if Yan Ai becomes a fourth-level catastrophe, it will have no effect."
Qiu Tu actually made this call just for this answer.
So after getting Liu Xiongyuan's reply, Qiu Tu felt a little relieved.
However, on a rare phone call, he did not just hang up the communication, but continued to chat about related topics.
"Director Liu, I have heard that there is actually a powerful evil god occupying several cities near Dongcheng City?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan on the other side of the phone let out a loud "hum", "Zhao Ji!"
Qiu Tu responded, "Yes. It should be her."
Liu Xiongyuan was obviously very sensitive to Zhao Ji's topic. He asked in a deep voice, "Why are you asking her?"
There is no personal relationship between Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, and there is nothing that cannot be said, so he explained naturally, "The exact information I got is that the evil god swallowed by Yan Ai may have some relationship with Zhao Ji.
"
"She has always wanted to seek Zhao Ji's help to get out of the current crisis."
Qiu Tu paused and then said, "I'm worried that she will have an impact on our plan."
Qiu Tu's topic made Liu Xiongyuan silent for a few seconds, and he also quietly pondered Qiu Tu's worries.
After a moment, he said slowly, "Zhao Ji, the evil god, is cruel and powerful. His only shortcoming is that he loves money."
"What she loves is not the gold and silver in the real world, but various cataclysmic treasures, the remains of cataclysmic creatures, and even souls."
"So if you want to ask Zhao Ji to take action purely for profit, then the price La Riluo will have to pay will be very high."
Qiu Tu recalled the way La Riluo asked him to invite Princess Zhao - light three sticks of incense and whisper "My Lord La Riluo" three times.
This obviously does not involve any negotiation, but is more like a request for help without any additional benefits: La Riluo is in trouble, please help.
This seems a bit inconsistent with what Liu Xiongyuan said.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is there some other connection or relationship between La Riluo and Zhao Ji?"
When it comes to the topic of Sohee, Ryu Xiongyuan seems to have always been extremely cautious.
He thought about it for a while and then said, "La Riluo and Zhao Ji are evil gods who have existed for many years."
"In these years, there has never been any intelligence showing any relationship between them."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu said "hmm" thoughtfully.
As a result, at this moment, Liu Xiongyuan suddenly said, "Qiu Tu, don't be too close to the evil god."
Qiu Tu's heart trembled.
He wanted to explain, but Liu Xiongyuan said directly, "We have all gone through your period."
"Some cases, some information, and some clues may indeed lead to more precise answers from the evil god."
"But the evil god is not easy to deal with."
"They are the smartest group of catastrophic creatures, good at disguise, calculation, and deceiving people's hearts."
"We have seen too many people who wanted to obtain information from them, but in the end they were brainwashed by the evil gods and became corrupted."
"So, don't get too close, and don't cooperate."
"I don't want to see you at the execution ground."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiongyuan paused and added, "You think this method is very suitable."
"Let the cronies contact the evil god and do things. But I just sit on the sidelines and add fuel to the flames."
"Not only does this not only eliminate the need to face the temptation of the evil god, but it also allows you to cut yourself off from the evil god. Even if the shelter comes to check, they can't find him."
Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's heartfelt reminder, Qiu Tu felt warm in his heart. He said softly, "Thank you, Director Liu, for your teaching. I will definitely keep it in my heart."
In this way, after the two of them finished chatting, Qiu Tu took the initiative to say goodbye, prepared to hang up the communication, and waited patiently for Liu Xiongyuan to launch his plan.
But just when the communication was about to be hung up, Qiu Tu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "By the way, Director Liu. I have one more thing I want to ask you."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan didn't feel impatient at all. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Qiu Tu asked, "Do you know Rao Shou, the author of the book "Existence"? Who is he?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan on the other side of the phone was silent for two seconds, and then said, "You don't know him?"
Qiu Tu was confused, "Should I know him?"
Liu Xiongyuan on the other side of the phone shook his head slightly, and then said, "You should still read more news and shelter daily reports."
"Rao Shou is the speaker of the Supreme Council of our Eighth Sanctuary."
When Qiu Tu heard this, he was stunned.
He had guessed that Rao Shou's identity might be a high-level member of the shelter, but he really didn't expect him to be so high.
What is the concept of the Speaker of the Supreme Council? The highest officer of the entire Sanctuary, his orders are almost equivalent to laws in the Eighth Sanctuary. Every word, every deed, and even a sneeze can create a huge storm in the Eighth Sanctuary.
‘He is actually the Speaker of the Supreme Council’
With such emotion in his heart, Qiu Tu also sincerely thanked Liu Xiongyuan, and then explained, "Director Liu, after all, I have just been promoted. I had no channel to read the shelter's news and newspapers before."
"I'll apply to the department today and see if they can order an extra copy for me."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan expressed his understanding, "I really can't blame you for this. After all, your foundation is too shallow and you don't know a lot of common sense."
At this point, he changed his tone and said, "So come to Dongcheng City and join me. I will teach you step by step."
Qiu Tu also didn't expect that Liu Xiongyuan would go around seven times and get to the solicitation again. For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh.
Just like that, the two chatted for a few words and then hung up the communication.
Put the earphones back into the small black box, and the small black box will automatically close, saving the communicator.
Putting the small black box back into the "Money-Hungry Wallet", Qiu Tu looked at the "Money-Hungry Wallet" and analyzed the information obtained from Liu Xiongyuan.
There are actually three main pieces of information.
First, the RUF sent a large force to prepare to seize the upcoming Moonlight Lake.
Second, tomorrow night, Moonlight Lake will truly take shape.
The third is that in order to cover most of the RUF, the RUF secret saucers are assassinating officials in various cities and creating chaos.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but be shocked: Wait a minute! Tan Huimin hasn't come to work yet. Could it be that she was attacked or captured?
Even though Tan Huimin's rank is not high, she is Qiu Tu's secretary and knows a lot of intelligence and high-level information from the Investigation Agency, so she is still valuable for assassination.
With this in mind, Qiu Tu, who originally didn't pay much attention to Tan Huimin's disappearance, quickly walked out of the lounge and opened the door to his office.
He was going to ask a few of his cronies to look for traces or traces of Tan Huimin along the road according to the address of Tan Huimin's home.
As a result, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he opened the office door, he saw Tan Huimin squatting at the door, holding several documents, looking like they were broken.
This beautiful young woman seemed to have not changed her clothes in the past two days. She was still wearing the somewhat tempting short professional skirt that Qiu Tu wore when he saw her for the second time.
——The light and transparent shirt, the short skirt that is full of enveloping feeling, paired with the gentle bun of a married woman, and the dried tears on her face.
Not to mention that the lost and depressed Tan Huimin is indeed more attractive than usual.
Seeing Tan Huimin squatting here intact, Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that Tan Huimin had not been attacked.
However, seeing Tan Huimin's dejected look, Qiu Tu blinked, feeling a little unworthy of Tan Huimin.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but lower his head and asked softly, "Madam, are you okay?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin raised her head and looked over blankly.
When she saw it was Qiu Tu, she seemed to have thought of something, stood up quickly, and handed the document in her hand to Qiu Tu.
"Minister, this is a half-year summary of the work of the Intelligence Section, Interrogation Section, and Supervision Section that you assigned the day before yesterday."
"After I went to work this morning, I went to three of their departments to collect them. When I came back, I saw that the office door was closed."
Hearing Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu raised his eyes slightly, obviously not expecting that Tan Huimin had not forgotten her work under such circumstances.
This is much more dedicated than yesterday when he silently left his post and went to the 12th floor to find Tang Feifei to intercede for Zheng Tao.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu nodded, and then said, "Okay. Let me take a look."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu said again, "Come in with me."
After saying that, he turned and returned to the office.
Behind him, Tan Huimin walked into the office like a zombie.
Qiu Tu sat at the desk, opened the summary information in his hand, and said casually to Tan Huimin, "How many days have you not changed clothes, taken a shower, or rested?"
"Go to my lounge, take a shower, and sleep for a while."
After saying this, Qiu Tu felt a little regretful. After all, given his relationship with Tan Huimin, saying such a thing was a bit too abrupt.
As a result, what he didn't expect was that Tan Huimin actually nodded, and then whispered, "Thank you, Minister."
After saying that, she turned around and went to the lounge, took off her clothes and started taking a shower.
Qiu Tu:
Following the open door, Qiu Tu clearly saw the entire process of Tan Huimin taking off her clothes.
For a moment, he was speechless.
Good guy. How much stimulation did you receive to give up on yourself like this?
With this in mind, Qiu Tu first closed the door to the lounge, then thought about it, picked up the landline and called Song Qing.
The content of the phone call was very simple. He asked Song Qing to send over yesterday's interrogation records between Tan Huimin and Zheng Tao.
Although Qiu Tu asked Tan Huimin to conduct the interrogation alone yesterday, he secretly set up the recording equipment and recorded the interrogation content while he was alone in the interrogation room. Now it's time to listen and take a look.
After assigning this task, Qiu Tu read the summary reports of the three departments under him while listening to the sound of water in the lounge.
Reading these reports not only helps him understand the department's situation more quickly, it is also a process for him to check and fill in the gaps in his own intelligence.
Therefore, when he was reviewing these reports, his first priority was to find information related to Yan Ai, La Riluo, Zhao Ji and even Moonlight Lake.
Not to mention, after flipping through several documents, he actually found some interesting information——
