Let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu hadn't been bragging in front of Liu Fuping. Yesterday, when he spoke on the phone with Liu Xiongyuan, he indeed conquered the old man in just 1 minute.

While Liu Xiongyuan obviously doubted the source of Qiu Tu's information and his capabilities, Qiu Tu took over the phone call with Liu Xiongyuan and said just one sentence.

"Nevermind whether I'm using you as a cat's-paw, nor who the real culprit is. Since both of them are suspects, how about I help you kill them both?"

With just that simple sentence, Liu Xiongyuan was willing to continue the conversation with Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu spoke very directly in his conversation with Liu Xiongyuan.

After piquing Liu Xiongyuan's interest, he immediately asked a question, which was to what extent was Liu Xiongyuan willing to go to avenge his son's murder.

Liu Xiongyuan's answer was also very simple. That was 'Life'.

Given that, Qiu Tu didn't hold back. He frankly told Liu Xiongyuan that he wasn't sure who the real culprit was.

Was it Jia Shu? Or was it Jia Wei? Perhaps only the two brothers themselves knew the truth.

But no matter, since Jia Shu was someone Qiu Tu wanted to kill, and Jia Wei was the one Liu Xiongyuan had always wanted to kill.

As long as the two of them were taken out, both Liu Xiongyuan and Qiu Tu would achieve their goals.

Killing Jia Shu was relatively simple. Just call in the troops and arm them.

A batch of rifles was hard to come by for Qiu Tu, a rare and difficult feat.

However, for Liu Xiongyuan, who had been entrenched in the Planning Area for over a decade, it was nothing but a piece of cake.

Therefore, all Qiu Tu needed to do was tell Liu Xiongyuan the approximate time of Jia Shu's release and the likely route in advance, and Liu Xiongyuan could set up an ambush ahead of time, sweeping him away in a short period!

Compared to Jia Shu, killing Jia Wei was much more difficult.

After all, Jia Wei's Cataclysmic ability was creating doppelgängers, and each one was not weak in strength.

Only by killing all of the doppelgängers could Jia Wei possibly die for good.

As for the number of Jia Wei's doppelgängers, Qiu Tu had already calculated that there was a high probability of there being six.

Out of these six, one had been captured by Qiu Tu, one had escaped on the night he was attacked, and three had been caught by Tang Feifei.

Only one, who had disguised itself as Jia Shu, remained unaccounted for.

Thus, the most important thing was to figure out where the doppelgänger that had disguised itself as Jia Shu that night had gone.

Therefore, starting a few days ago, Qiu Tu had been racking his brain: If he were Jia Shu and Jia Wei, in order to create an alibi, where should he have gone that night?

He thought of two places; the first was the Investigation Bureau Office Building, to show his face in front of everyone at work. The second was... Yan Chen's place.

After all, as long as he could meet with Yan Chen, the highest official of the Investigation Bureau, and earn his trust, then that would be enough.

Consequently, Qiu Tu started to investigate whether Jia Shu had come to see Yan Chen on the night of the attack.

Soon, through Secretary Bai, Qiu Tu learned that a "Jia Shu" did indeed visit Yan Chen that night.

But because it was a fake, Yan Chen killed it.

This left only the last doppelgänger on the run.

The only problem now was how to lure out this fugitive.

The method was simple and fit in neatly with the plan: Qiu Tu would tell Larilo about the plot to kill Jia Shu.

And since Larilo needed Jia Wei's cooperation to work with Qiu Tu on the case, she would definitely inform Jia Wei of the plan to kill Jia Shu.

Given Jia Wei's personality and his hatred towards his older brother, if his brother were to be killed, he would be 100% sure to be there to witness it!

Not for any purpose, just for a satisfying feeling!

So even though Jia Wei knew that his last doppelgänger was extremely valuable and possibly related to his life safety, he would still make an appearance!

Therefore, Qiu Tu also told Liu Xiongyuan to make a slightly bigger commotion during his preparations to "inform" Jia Wei of the ambush location.

And when Jia Shu was attacked, it would be best for Liu Xiongyuan to use either Investigation Type or Tracking Type Cataclysmic treasures to scan all the hills and treetops within a 5-kilometer radius! Jia Wei would certainly be there!

And once the last doppelgänger roaming outside was taken out, Liu Fuping and Tang Feifei on the other end would also work together to kill Jia Wei's four other doppelgängers...

In this way, with the six bodies of Jia Wei completely destroyed, the probability was that he was dead beyond any doubt.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look outside the study.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Qiu Tu always felt as if something in the darkness outside the study was faintly watching him, giving him a chilling sensation...

But when he tried to look closely, it seemed as if he saw nothing at all.

'Maybe it's just an illusion?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also couldn't help but continue to wonder, 'Feifei and Fuping must have made their move by now, right?'

...

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Investigation Bureau Political Department Guard Room.

The underground guard room at Tang Feifei's villa.

Liu Fuping and Tang Feifei each led their people inside.

Since Qiu Tu had already given word in advance for Liu Fuping, the Guard Room Detective Wang Dawei, eager to defect to Qiu Tu's side, eagerly opened the door to Jia Wei's room for Liu Fuping and the others.

At this moment, Jia Wei sat on the bed with a face full of fury, clearly incensed over the recent death of his clone....

Seeing Liu Fuping enter, Jia Wei's expression turned ferocious as he snapped, "What are you doing here!?"

"Get out!"

However, Liu Fuping ignored Jia Wei's impotent rage.

She took out a document and said, "Jia Wei, you are guilty of robbing the pharmacy, murder, and dishonoring someone's wife and daughter, multiple offenses combined."

"After trial by the investigation team leader Qiu Tu and signed off by Deputy Director Tang, you are now sentenced to death!"

Hearing Liu Fuping's words, Jia Wei was visibly stunned. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, but by then Eagle and Ah-Tai had already stepped forward, covering his mouth and restraining his body!

Although he was a Second-Order Cataclysmic Awakened, having become a criminal, he had to be injected daily with various sedatives to weaken his body. Plus, Ah-Tai possessed innate Divine Power.

Thus, even as Jia Wei struggled desperately, he was still unable to prevent Liu Fuping from injecting him with the lethal potion.

As the potion slowly entered his system, Jia Wei's struggles intensified, but soon after, he quieted down.....

At the same time, in the basement of Tang Feifei's villa. Tang Feifei walked out of the basement expressionless, holding three heads in her hands.

Behind her, three bodies lay in pools of blood.

In just a few short minutes, all five of Jia Wei's clones were slaughtered!

After the last clone was killed, suddenly, the five bodies rapidly decayed, as if undergoing the rotting process of more than ten days in just a few minutes, quickly becoming rank and putrid....

At this moment, the people standing in front of those five bodies all experienced a momentary daze, deeply affected.

During that moment, it was as if they could faintly hear a woman's shrill cursing and screaming!

......

Meanwhile, in the study of Yan Chen's Garden Villa.

After Secretary Bai completed his report, Yan Chen remained expressionless, yet if one looked closely into his eyes, they would detect a hint of a smile within them.

After all, Jia Shu was truly dead which proved that his archenemy had completely sided against Huang Shangzong. He could now sit back and watch the drama unfold with ease. Secondly, Qiu Tu had proven his intelligence to be of value.

With these thoughts, after dismissing Secretary Bai, Yan Chen reiterated his promise, "Qiu Tu, your undercover work alongside Jiang Pengfei and Tang Feifei has been very impressive."

"Continue with your plans as you see fit."

"As for your appointment as deputy head of the government department, rest assured. After a simple formality, I will not oppose the Diciplinary Department and City Hall's nomination."

Hearing Yan Chen's words, Qiu Tu, who had perfectly accomplished both of his tasks for the day, quickly bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Bureau Chief!"

Yan Chen nodded slightly at the words, then waved his hand, "Go on, you should also get some rest now."

"I still have to deal with the aftermath of tonight's events."

Hearing Yan Chen's words, Qiu Tu bowed to him once again and then finally left the study.

Outside the study, Secretary Bai was waiting. He nodded to Qiu Tu as he came out, then gestured to lead Qiu Tu away.

On their way out, Secretary Bai suddenly asked, "Did you kill Jia Shu?"

Some things can be discussed openly, but others, even with the closest of confidants, must remain unsaid.

Therefore, Qiu Tu decisively shook his head, "No, it wasn't me."

Secretary Bai did not pursue the matter further, and after seeing Qiu Tu out through the side door, he softly said, "Stay safe."

Qiu Tu nodded at Secretary Bai and then left the Garden Villa to go to his car.

Indeed, he had eliminated both Jia Shu and Jia Wei tonight.

But... this had brought him a significant hidden danger: he was now completely at odds with Larilo.

So, he still had to address this looming threat....
