As a seasoned investigator who had been working in the Interrogation Section for over a year, Liu Fuping was no stranger to such shouting and cursing.
Many critical suspects, when stripped of important information and clues, would often bark powerlessly .
Therefore, this kind of cursing and shouting was actually what interrogators most wanted to hear: a sound akin to the trumpet of victory.
But now... hearing it from Qian Dafu's mouth left Liu Fuping somewhat puzzled: Didn't they say progress wasn't going smoothly? How did the suspect crack so easily?
Thinking this, she cast a slightly perplexed look at Eagle. What she saw was not a hint of surprise on Eagle's face but an expression as if everything was within his expectations.
Liu Fuping was momentarily taken aback. She realized what was happening in the next second.
'Just like the superior, so are the subordinates!'
Liu Fuping cursed inwardly.
Initially, she thought Eagle was a silent and honest person, which was why she approached him to glean some intelligence. Who knew he was also someone who had picked up some of Qiu Tu's shamelessness...
Of course... she didn't realize her words actually implicated herself as well...
The interrogation in the room was still ongoing.
Under Qiu Tu's arrangement, the switch of suspects was almost seamless: Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan had just escorted Qian Dafu out, and Li Xian and Jiao Ming brought the next transporter, Qi Yun, in.
Qi Yun, perhaps having witnessed Qian Dafu's cursing and wailing upon entering the interrogation room, was much more cooperative than Qian Dafu from the outset.
He sat in the interrogation chair, watched Qian Dafu leave, then squeezed out a smile toward Qiu Tu, "Chief Qiu, hello, I'm Qi Yun."
Qiu Tu glanced at him, and when the door of the interrogation room closed, he casually asked, "You actually know me?"
Qi Yun's agreeable attitude was clearly born from a desire to flatter Qiu Tu to suffer less. However, the words that came to his mouth involuntarily revealed his true thoughts.
"Of course. Ever since we heard that you took over the 'Yin Caimei case,' we've been researching your information every day."
"How could we sleep peacefully without knowing our enemies as well as ourselves?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Cao Dabiao, Ah-Kun, and Eagle in the interrogation room could hardly contain their laughter.
Even knowing Qiu Tu's ability to make people speak the truth, hearing such a candid response still carried an inexplicable sense of amusement.
At that moment, however, Qi Yun found nothing funny about the situation. He looked horrified, trying to cover his mouth to stop himself from blurting out anything further.
But just as he raised his hand, he realized that Qiu Tu had made thorough preparations — the hands of the prisoners would be locked to the table once they entered the interrogation room.
In that moment, Qi Yun finally understood Qian Dafu's terror!
He looked at Qiu Tu with a face full of fear, wanting to question what Qiu Tu had done to him and why he was uncontrollably spilling words he didn't want to say!
But at that moment, Qiu Tu didn't give him the chance and began a relentless barrage of questions.
So, under the control of his Cataclysmic ability, Qi Yun had no choice but to completely spill everything he knew.
What he revealed was similar to Qian Dafu's information. The transportation industry, by nature, operated in a gray area, especially amidst chaos.
They not only maintained their own private militia, engaged in legitimate transportation but also occasionally indulged in black-market dealings.
Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that they would have contacts with the Anti-government Armed Forces like the United Front.
The two sides depended on each other and cooperated. So when the United Front offered to buy supplies at prices 50% higher than the market rate, doubling their profits, they naturally chose to take the risk.
He also disclosed the relationship between the Four Major Transportation Merchants and the Qin Family.
According to him, the Qin Family was the contact point for the Four Major Transportation Merchants with the United Front, and it was they who also controlled the Four Major Transportation Merchants.
After all, given the longstanding and deep-rooted presence of the Qin Family in Xinjie City, controlling an entire industry was rather straightforward.
After the interrogation of Qi Yun, Qiu Tu had a very accurate grasp of the identities of the Four Major Transportation Merchants: he and Qin Shuman hadn't guessed wrong; the Four Major Transportation Merchants were indeed the Qin Family's true operatives.
It seemed as if Old Master Qin had handed over various gray and black industries to Master Qin Si merely as a distraction. The Qin Family's true illicit businesses and private militia had long been split into four, decentralized, and joined the Four Major Transportation Merchants under the guise of transportation personnel.
This discovery immediately put Qiu Tu on high alert: The Qin Family undoubtedly had significant hidden forces in the background.
In this case, although the Qin Family might not break completely in the short term,
But if this drags on for even a little longer, and the Qin Family senses something is wrong, they could remotely command this private militia to cause trouble in Xinjie City or even act against Qiu Tu.
At that time, a storm of blood and violence could sweep through Xinjie City!
By then, even if the Investigation Bureau and the military managed to forcefully suppress the situation, as the instigator of the entire affair, Qiu Tu would not be spared punishment!
He might very well become the final sacrifice of the incident, offered up to appease the anger of both sides.
