This Person is a Little Perverted (7k Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Qiu Tu felt something was wrong, and it wasn't without reason.

This morgue was one he had specifically requested to store Yin Caimei's body alone.

And judging from Zheng Tao's footsteps just now, he wasn't patrolling the floor, but heading straight for this morgue.

But the problem was that the Yin Caimei Case was assigned to Qiu Tu by Jia Shu alone, and it had nothing to do with the Interrogation Section.

And Zheng Tao wasn't a member of the Investigation Team, so he had no reason to come to this morgue.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu quietly took a few steps back, creating the illusion that he wasn't by the door, and then spoke towards the outside, "I'm inside."

Zheng Tao was obviously familiar with Qiu Tu's voice, so he hesitated and asked, "Deputy Section Chief Qiu?"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, Section Chief Zheng. What's up?"

After speaking, Qiu Tu winked at Qin Shuman.

Qin Shuman tacitly handed the Mist Index Book in her hand to Qiu Tu, and then looked around the entire morgue.

Finally, she slipped into a morgue cabinet.

At this moment, Zheng Tao's suspicious voice came over, "What are you doing in the morgue?"

Qiu Tu quietly closed the morgue cabinet, then walked to the door and opened the morgue door.

Standing outside the door was indeed Zheng Tao, looking puzzled.

Qiu Tu stood at the door, smiling, and said, "How novel. I'm in the morgue, of course I'm examining a corpse. Or am I here to be a corpse?"

Having been rebuffed by Qiu Tu's indirect retort, Zheng Tao frowned, glanced into the morgue, and then asked, "Deputy Section Chief Qiu is investigating a case?"

Qiu Tu frowned slightly, but still nodded, "Yes."

After speaking, he asked in return, "Section Chief Zheng hasn't left work so late, what are you doing wandering around the morgue?"

Zheng Tao said "Oh," and replied, "I'm fine, just doing a routine patrol."

"As a result, when I walked over here, I found that the lights were still on in your morgue, and there seemed to be a faint sound of talking inside, so I came over to check it out."

After speaking, he gestured with his hand, "Is it convenient for me to take a look inside?"

Although he was asking, he hadn't finished speaking before he had already lifted his leg and stepped into the morgue.

Qiu Tu's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't stop him.

Zheng Tao walked in the morgue with his boots, making "tap, tap" sounds, while slowly looking around the morgue's layout, "Deputy Section Chief Qiu is here alone?"

Qiu Tu smiled and said "Yes."

Actually, from the moment he discovered Zheng Tao outside the door, Qiu Tu had been pondering whether or not to let Zheng Tao meet Qin Shuman (Su Xiaowan).

But thinking that he hadn't really connected with Tang Feifei yet, if he exposed Su Xiaowan now, it might lead to various variables. So in the end, he decided to let Qin Shuman (Su Xiaowan) hide, and he would go to the door to deal with it.

Originally, he thought he could fob off Zheng Tao with a few words and send him away.

As a result, who would have thought that Zheng Tao had actually come to check because he had vaguely heard a sound, and, in fact, had ignored his refusal and directly barged in. It was simply not giving him any face.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's resistant emotions, Zheng Tao lifted the white cloth on Yin Caimei's body, glanced at it, then turned back to look at Qiu Tu, and said with a smile, "Deputy Section Chief Qiu, don't misunderstand."

"It's not that I'm being nosy."

"It's that you also know there are many strange and mysterious forces in this world."

"And corpses are particularly attractive to these forces."

"I really did vaguely hear some strange noises just now. To be on the safe side, I definitely need to investigate more carefully."

Having said that, he walked to the morgue cabinets on both sides of the morgue and began to pull them out with a "shua shua" sound.

Because this morgue was specially set aside for Yin Caimei, all the morgue cabinets were empty.

Zheng Tao opened one, took two glances, and closed it, then opened the next one.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also took out the [Mist Index Book] and said, "Section Chief Zheng, are you perhaps referring to the sound made by this Cataclysmic Treasure?"

He said, "I just used this to examine Yin Caimei's body."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao stopped in front of the morgue cabinet where Qin Shuman was hiding.

He turned his head and glanced at the Cataclysmic Treasure in Qiu Tu's eyes, a thoughtful look appearing in his own.

After a moment, he nodded, affirming, "That's possible."

"After all, Cataclysmic Treasures can make all sorts of strange noises when used."

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled open the morgue cabinet where Qin Shuman was!

Inside the cabinet...

It was completely 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 had been checked.

Zheng Tao once again surveyed the morgue, and then smiled at Qiu Tu, saying, "It seems it really was the strange noise made by the Cataclysmic Treasure."

"I was too sensitive."

With that, he walked to Qiu Tu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and reassured him, "Section Chief Qiu, you've worked hard."

"You didn't leave work early tonight like you did yesterday, but instead voluntarily worked overtime. I'm very pleased."

"As investigators, we should seize every minute and every second to work hard. Only in this way can we become the Director's right-hand man in the future."

Qiu Tu:

Although this world doesn't have the saying "serve the people," to be so blunt about wanting to be the superior's "lackey" still surprised Qiu Tu a bit.

So, he also said with a smile, "Section Chief, you're overthinking it. I'll make up for the overtime I worked tonight with a day off tomorrow."

"I won't be coming in tomorrow morning."

Zheng Tao, who was about to walk out, staggered and almost tripped.

He glared at Qiu Tu resentfully, snorted softly, and then strode out of the morgue.

And after he left, Qiu Tu did not let his guard down.

He took a deep breath, then muttered to himself with a sigh, "Well, I still have to compare the murder weapon."

With that, he stepped out of the Morgue to retrieve the evidence.

After he left, the entire Morgue slowly fell into silence.

He didn't know how long it had been, maybe a minute, maybe five.

In the silent Morgue, the doorknob suddenly rattled.

But perhaps because Qiu Tu had locked the door before leaving, the Morgue door was not opened despite the twisting.

However, this time the person outside the door was clearly prepared.

Inserting the key and turning it twice, the door was opened, and Zheng Tao, who had just left, returned.

His eyes swept across the entire Morgue with a sinister look, and then he directly opened all the Morgue cabinets and lifted the white cloth covering Yin Caimei's body.

After a second check, confirming that there was really no one else, Zheng Tao frowned.

He restored everything to its original state, then exited the Morgue, using the spare key to relock the Morgue door.

Standing at the entrance of the Morgue, Zheng Tao's eyes flickered a few times, and then he took out his communicator and made a call.

After a moment, the call connected.

Zheng Tao said in a low voice, "Minister, Section Chief Qiu is the only one inside."

Jia Shu's smiling voice came from the receiver, "Oh? Is that so? Did you check carefully?"

Zheng Tao said, "I checked very carefully. I checked once before he left, and again after he left. There was no one else."

"He should be investigating the case alone tonight."

Jia Shu said with a smile that was not a smile, "That's good, that's good."

Zheng Tao was obviously a little puzzled, and he tentatively asked, "Minister, have you discovered anything?"

Jia Shu said with a smile, "No. I was just a little worried. Now it seems 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 personality of his superior, he opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't ask anything.

And at the same time...

[Jia Shu's Suspicion -1, Satisfaction -3]

In the Investigation Team's temporary office, Qiu Tu had just picked up the book Brave New World when he noticed a prompt for the

Loyalty Game

pop up in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, then filled with question marks.

'Suspicion -1? Satisfaction -3?'

Am I hallucinating?

Why did the suspicion decrease, but the satisfaction also decrease?

Qiu Tu really felt that he couldn't understand Jia Shu's game stats at all.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that Jia Shu is actually a spy?

He discovered that he was loyal to the Investigation Department, so he was disappointed in himself?

Or is he a pervert who would only be satisfied if I betrayed the Investigation Department?

Qiu Tu felt that perverts' thoughts were indeed hard to understand!

While mentally complaining about Jia Shu, Qiu Tu took the evidence to the Morgue.

Arriving at the Morgue, Qiu Tu used his key to open the door and saw the mortuary. Qin Shuman was standing next to the mortuary cabinet where she had been hiding, looking at Qiu Tu with a complicated expression.

Qiu Tu locked the door from the inside first, and then softly asked, "Did he come again?"

Qin Shuman nodded slightly.

A smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face.

Fortunately, when he discovered that there was a problem with Zheng Tao, he decisively used his Cataclysmic ability, Order Space. And he set the rule for today: except for himself, no one can see, hear, smell, touch, or sense Qin Shuman (Su Xiaowan).

Moreover, after he left the Morgue, he still didn't cancel this rule.

That's why Zheng Tao completely ignored Qin Shuman's existence during the two investigations: in fact, Qin Shuman was quietly lying in that mortuary cabinet.

What made Qiu Tu even more grateful was that Su Xiaowan and Zheng Tao were both ordinary people.

If they were Calamity Descendants like Qin Shuman or Jia Shu, then Qiu Tu's ability would have failed, and he wouldn't have been able to deceive everyone like this.

At that time, he would need to fabricate more excuses and lies to smooth things over.

Indeed, Cataclysmic abilities change the world!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu canceled his Cataclysmic ability while handing the Mist Index Book and Brave New World to Qin Shuman.

Feeling the discomfort of his mental strength being drained, Qiu Tu forced himself to say, "Help me see if this book is the murder weapon."

Qin Shuman glanced at him with a complicated expression, took the book, and used the Mist Index Book.

After a moment, just as Qiu Tu felt the side effects of the Cataclysmic ability gradually disappearing, Qin Shuman's voice rang in his ears, "Checked. This book is indeed the murder weapon."

Qiu Tu raised his head and looked at Qin Shuman.

Qin Shuman gave him a smile and said,

"Since this book is the murder weapon that killed Yin Caimei."

"Then... there is only one last Mystery left in this Yin Caimei Case."

"That is, who gave this book to Yin Caimei."

"As long as we can figure this out, then we can determine who the murderer is with a high probability."

"And," Qin Shuman paused, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "that murderer is also likely to be a nail of the anti-government armed forces!"

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then who do you think would have given her this book?"

Qin Shuman thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly, "Hard to say. Too many people are suspected. For example, Vice President Tian, those transporters, or one of her friends."

"You'd better investigate people close to Yin Caimei or Vice President Tian."

"See when exactly this book appeared in her hands."

"This will help us quickly narrow down the scope."

Having said that, Qin Shuman paused for a moment, and then said, "Hopefully, she didn't bring it out when she left the anti-government armed forces."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, a thoughtful expression appeared in Qiu Tu's eyes. He shook his head slightly, "It's unlikely that she had it from the beginning."

"According to previous confessions, her acquaintance with Vice President Tian was an accident."

"The anti-government armed forces probably don't have the financial resources to equip every ordinary spy with a Cataclysmic Treasure that can be used to silence people, right?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's analysis, Qin Shuman also nodded slightly.

And at this moment, just as the two were talking.

Suddenly, Qiu Tu's communicator rang "ring ring ring".

Qiu Tu took out the communicator from his pocket and glanced at it, a bright smile appearing on his face, "The person delivering the information has arrived."

As he said that, he showed Qin Shuman the caller.

The name displayed on it was: Tian Xiaotian—
