Hearing Yan Ai ask this question, Qiu Tu's heart moved and he knew that the most critical step was coming.
He secretly glanced at Jia Shu out of the corner of his eye.
Maybe he didn't expect that Qiu Tu actually found so many clues, or he didn't expect that Qiu Tu dared to go against his previous hints and really pursue this case seriously. Jia Shu finally no longer acted as calmly as before, but
He looked at Qiu Tu with a half-smile.
Feeling the gaze of the two big men, Qiu Tu didn't feel much pressure.
The reason why he dared to tell so many clues and progress was that he had already thought of a plan to deal with this crisis——
So, he looked at Yan Ai, took a deep breath, and suddenly pointed at Jia Shu, "Director, I suspect it is the hand of Minister Jia's subordinates!"
【14:58】
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the entire office fell silent for a moment.
Not to mention Yan Ai, even Jia Shu, who had been pretending to smile, had a look of astonishment on his face.
Maybe he really didn't expect that Qiu Tu had talked so much and said so much, but in the end he was the one who doubted himself:
The problem is, the clues Qiu Tu gave just now didn’t point to him, either?
Isn’t this nonsense!
But when he thought about Qiu Tu's intention, Jia Shu couldn't help but think about Qiu Tu's intentions.
While Jia Shu was meditating, Yan Ai's brows obviously wrinkled and his eyes fluctuated: he was obviously also thinking about why Qiu Tu identified Jia Shu.
During this time, Qiu Tu had left a deep impression on him.
Therefore, he did not believe that Qiu Tu really thought that Jia Shu would be the murderer, and even pointed it out in front of Jia Shu.
At this time, seeing the two big men lost in thought, Qiu Tu also held his breath, looked away, and stopped talking.
He is waiting for the feedback from [Loyalty Game] and [Crisis Smell].
Time passed by minute by minute, almost like more than a year.
Finally two seconds later, two prompts popped up in front of Qiu Tu,
[Yan Ai’s suspicion level -3, satisfaction level +4]
[Jia Shu’s satisfaction level +12]
Qiu Tu glanced at the two of them secretly.
Yan Ai once again returned to the ancient well-bubo expression just now, but the fake smile on Jia Shu's face was replaced by a brilliant real smile.
What's more important is that the [Countdown Hourglass] in the upper left corner of Qiu Tu's sight also slowly stopped after jumping to [14:28] and stopped beating.
Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right bet.
In fact, when he was assigning tasks to Cao Dabiao and the others just now, Qiu Tu was thinking about one thing.
The reason why [Crisis Smell] does not indicate who the crisis comes from this time is that it means that this crisis comes from both Yan Ai and Jia Shu.
In other words, no matter which side you choose, you may be resented by the other side and become extremely dangerous?
After analyzing this, Qiu Tu suddenly came up with a bolder guess: that is, no matter which side he chooses, he will offend not one person, but two people!
You know, Jia Shu is not only Yan Ai's right-hand man, but also one of the nine senior officials of the Investigation Department. He has voting rights in the high-level meetings of the Investigation Department.
In addition, he controls the Political Department, the most powerful department of the Investigation Agency. Even if Yan Ai is dissatisfied with him, will he really give up on him because of such a trivial matter?
Qiu Tu doesn't think so.
Qiu Tu also had subordinates. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If Cao Dabiao or Chen Feng did something that was not to his liking, would he give up on them immediately?
No. The most Qiu Tu would do is beat them hard, warn the two of them, and then continue to observe.
After all, cultivating a capable, loyal, and well-positioned subordinate is not an easy task.
After thinking all of this clearly, Qiu Tu finally understood his situation.
To put it bluntly, his first reaction after seeing the [Crisis Alert] was not wrong: he was a part of the play between Yan Ai and Jia Shu.
Therefore, whoever he chooses is wrong. Only by standing on both sides at the same time and satisfying both of them can he survive this crisis.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu quickly analyzed the "demands" of Yan Ai and Jia Shu.
Yan's anger is very simple. He is obviously angry and dissatisfied with Jia Shu's loss of control. Therefore, he must follow him and cannot let him continue to feel that things are out of control.
Coupled with the increase in Yan Ai's "satisfaction" several times and the reminder of [Crisis Smell], Qiu Tu knew that Yan Ai should have believed in him again and regarded himself as his confidant.
Therefore, if he wants to satisfy Yan Ai, Qiu Tu must cut ties with Jia Shu and stand unswervingly on Yan Ai's side. Use "actual actions" to tell Yan Ai: Jia Shu is a villain who deceives superiors and deceives subordinates, but
You did not lie to me! I will still act according to your wishes, Director.
As for Jia Shu's "demand", Qiu Tu came up with the answer after analyzing it for a long time on the road.
The reason why Jia Shu decided to settle the case this time at the risk of making Yan Ai dissatisfied was 100% because of Vice President Tian.
As for whether he had some kind of relationship with Vice President Tian in private, or whether it was for the city-wide communications monitoring system that Vice President Tian "donated", Qiu Tu didn't know for the time being because there was too little information.
But no matter what the reason is, what he attaches most importance to now is that this case cannot be related to Vice Chairman Tian!
As long as this condition is met, with his character, everything else should not matter.
Therefore, after guessing the demands of the two people, Qiu Tu's answer to this crisis came out:
You can't be perfunctory, you can't find scapegoats, you must honestly report the truth you found - but this truth cannot involve Vice Chairman Tian.
Vice Chairman Tian cannot be involved, which means that he represents the Qin family, and Shun Yun Communications cannot speak out.
After all, as long as he said it, Yan Ai and Jia Shu would be able to guess the role Vice President Tian played in it. It would still affect Vice President Tian and annoy Jia Shu.
So, after thinking about it, Qiu Tu simply threw the pot to Jia Shu.
This is a hint that kills two birds with one stone: He not only told Yan Ai that he had nothing to do with Jia Shu, and even dared to challenge his authority face to face; he also told Jia Shu that he had actually found Vice Chairman Tian, ​​but he was following your orders.
, was not reported.
Qiu Tu admitted that his method of breaking the situation did involve gambling. However, he only had 2 minutes from receiving the order to seeing Yan Ai, and there was no way he could think of a more perfect plan.
Fortunately, this plan worked
At this time, when Qiu Tu was recalling the entire mental journey of his plan, Yan Ai also laughed twice.
He may have smoked too much, and his voice was very dry and hoarse when he laughed, like an ominous night owl.
"Qiu Tu, your speculation is very interesting."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Jia Shu with interest. The cold aura when he first entered the office seemed to have dissipated a lot, and he became more popular.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Minister Jia, what do you think of your subordinate's speculation?"
Obviously, he was using Qiu Tu to beat Jia Shu.
But at this time, Jia Shu didn't care at all. Vice President Tian was not exposed, which proved that Qiu Tu had him in his "heart".
Therefore, he bowed slightly towards Yan Ai with a bright smile and said, "Director, I think Agent Qiu is joking there."
Yan Ai looked at Qiu Tu, said "Oh?" and asked, "Really?"
Of course, Qiu Tu must stand firmly on Yan Ai's side at this time.
So he quickly shook his head, "Director, I'm not joking."
He said, "Minister Jia is indeed at the top of my suspicion list."
"There are three main reasons."
"1. The murder weapon, which is the book-like catastrophic treasure, was specially approved by Minister Jia for the deceased to be brought into the guard room."
"2. When I was using the [Misty Index Book] to investigate the case last night, my boss, Zheng Tao, the chief of the interrogation section, came to the morgue on purpose."
"But Minister Jia was the only one who knew that I would go to the morgue to investigate the case last night. I suspect that Zheng Tao was arranged by Minister Jia to go there to find out the information."
"3. Also the most important."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu took a deep look at Jia Shu and said in a low voice, "When Minister Jia asked me to take over this case, he hinted many times that he wanted me to find a scapegoat to fool the case."
[Yan Ai satisfaction +5]
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Ai actually laughed out loud "haha" twice. He felt quite happy that he had regained control of the situation and won a complete victory.
What's more important is that Qiu Tu has been secretly observing Jia Shu's expression.
Jia Shu's eyes showed no murderous intent or ill feelings towards him, only a strong enough "interest" that seemed to be substantial.
Obviously, for Jia Shu, as long as he doesn't drag Vice President Tian into the water, he doesn't care how much dirty water is thrown on him.
Anyway, Yan Ai won’t really believe it
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt more at ease.
[Jia Shu’s satisfaction +3]
At this time, Yan Ai also retracted his smile after laughing twice. He turned back into the director of the Investigation Department who always kept his word and kept his emotions and anger a secret.
He looked at Qiu Tu and criticized in a low voice, "Qiu Tu, I can see your ability to investigate cases. But your thinking is completely wrong!"
"This time, I will forgive you on behalf of Minister Jia. But there will be no next time!"
He paused, and then said in a scolding manner, "At any time, you cannot question or oppose your boss!"
"This will throw the entire Exploration Agency into chaos!"
Hearing Yan Ai's harsh-sounding criticism that was actually not strong at all, Qiu Tu also knew that it was time to change the subject. So he bowed his head obediently and said, "Yes, Director. I am not experienced enough, so I am leaving."
Wrong direction."
Yan Ai nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Okay. It's good to have this understanding."
He said with a deep look, "I originally thought it was a bit too difficult to handle this case with your ability, so I planned to change it to someone else."
"But now it seems that you have done a good job in the investigation, so I will continue to hand over this case to you."
"But the city committee is keeping a close eye on this case, so you have to find the murderer as soon as possible and close the case!"
After saying that, he thought for a moment and gave a deadline, "I will see the results by next Wednesday at the latest!"
Following Yan Ai's words, the first countdown hourglass in the upper left corner of Qiu Tu slowly turned into a small treasure box. Then the second countdown hourglass slowly emerged.
Qiu Tu:??
Qiu Tu glanced at Jia Shu, who was looking at him with a half-smile.
Qiu Tu looked at Yan Ai again, but Yan Ai had a serious face.
Qiu Tu:
At that moment, Qiu Tu's heart was filled with only ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping around!
Damn it, you two are so in love with each other, why are you torturing this little shrimp like me?!
Did I recruit you or offend you?
One visit is not enough, why should we come a second time?
This time I was able to satisfy both of your requirements at the same time because of the information gap. How can I satisfy both of your requirements at the same time next time!?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu wanted to refuse.
As a result, before he could speak, the next second, a countdown hourglass quickly rushed to the side of the two hourglasses in front.
At the same time, the third countdown hourglass prompt also jumped out:
【Under your wonderful performance, Yan Ai has regained his trust in you.】
[And with your "help", he also successfully defeated Jia Shu and regained the feeling of having power. 】
【So, don’t disobey him or offend him when he is happiest.】
[You don’t want to know what he will do to you in a rage.]
Qiu Tu:???
Okay, okay. This is how you play, right?
Then don't blame me!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu took a deep breath, then he looked at Yan Ai and said seriously, "Sir, I feel I can complete the task!"
"But time is a bit tight. I apply for authorization to use special means without restriction!"
