Thinking this way, Qiu Tu tapped the steering wheel and made a U-turn, heading back towards the Investigation Bureau building.
He wasn't idle while driving.
Jia Shu had indeed restricted his movements, but... he hadn't restricted his mouth.
Who said he couldn't carry on with the act just because he couldn't be at the scene?
The real protagonist never complains about the environment!
With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu took out another communicator while driving: this was the communicator Ah-Tai received after becoming an official agent of the Special Service Department.
Qiu Tu took Ah-Tai's communicator and made a call to himself.
"Dudu... Dudu... Dudu..."
After a few rings on his own communicator, Qiu Tu answered the call.
He waited another ten seconds or so before hanging up the communicator.
After making these preparations, he took Ah-Tai's communicator and called the third golden supporting role in this drama: Lin Zuo from the Security Department's Investigation Section.
Soon, the call connected.
Lin Zuo's cool voice came from the receiver, "Hello. Who is this...?"
Because time was pressing, Qiu Tu didn't bother with pleasantries and instead got straight to the point, "Lin Zuo, it's Qiu Tu."
"My communicator might be monitored for call records, so I'm using this communicator to call you."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lin Zuo didn't immediately believe him and asked, "How do I know you're not a voice changer?"
This was the hotel room number from their last meeting, known only to the two of them, so Lin Zuo nodded slightly, preliminarily believing Qiu Tu.
He asked, "What happened? Have you made any progress on your end?"
Hearing Lin Zuo's words, Qiu Tu exaggerated while driving, "Not just progress, it's a major breakthrough!"
"I'm preparing a big gift for you."
Lin Zuo asked in a cool tone, "What kind of gift?"
Qiu Tu said, "I've turned Master Qin Si. He holds evidence of Yan Chen's collusion with the United Front in his hands."
As Qiu Tu's words trailed off, the sound of objects colliding "clatter clatter" suddenly rang from the other side of the communicator.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, it was probably because Lin Zuo got too excited and knocked something over when he stood up abruptly.
Seeing this, a smile crept across Qiu Tu's lips.
See... everyone has desires.
Even the most honest and dedicated person harbors ambitions in their career.
Once you pinpoint their desires, you can easily "manipulate" them.
Thinking this, a voice came through the receiver, Lin Zuo suppressing his excitement as he inquired, "Is it true or false?"
Qiu Tu didn't answer directly but coolly replied to Lin Zuo, "Section Chief Lin, a question like that only makes me feel you're unprofessional."
Lin Zuo, momentarily taken aback, calmed down quite a bit.
He reflected on his question: Indeed, since it was information given by Qiu Tu, no matter how he asked, Qiu Tu would only answer "it's true."
To find out if Qiu Tu was lying, he would have to verify it himself.
'A sudden clue made me lose my cool.'
After quietly making a judgment, Lin Zuo's emotions stabilized, and he returned to his normal professional level as the head of a security department.
He didn't ask any more foolish questions, and instead directly started talking business, "What do you need from me?"
Qiu Tu nodded slightly. As expected of an elite trained by the Sanctuary, he's more professional than newly recruited agents.
With that thought, he said, "Master Qin Si left the Qin Family in two separate groups."
"He himself is now on his way to the Milan Grand Hotel."
"His wife and children arrived at a courtyard at 19 Nanfang Street half an hour ago. My people are... protecting them."
"The clue he has is too important and involves Director Yan, it's too sensitive."
"So, I need your Security Department to send someone to clean up any traces left by these two groups of people."
"Or, at the very least, make sure the trail goes cold."
"Once the job is done, the safety of Master Qin Si's wife and children will be the responsibility of my people, and he himself will be under the protection of your Security Department."
"The intelligence and merits obtained from him will be shared between our two parties."
Lin Zuo didn't agree immediately upon hearing this. After thinking it over for a moment, he asked cautiously, "How long ago did this happen?"
Qiu Tu quickly calculated the time, "Less than 10 minutes."
Lin Zuo said, "We still have time."
"I'll send someone right now to clean up the traces."
"Guarantee even if the Political Department steps in, they won't be able to track down any leads to you."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu laughed, "Pleased to cooperate."
Lin Zuo said, "Pleased to cooperate."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu felt somewhat at ease.
In creating this plan, the Security Department was one of the cores of Qiu Tu's strategy.
With such a commotion today, it was highly likely that Yan Chen would take notice.
And in order to investigate tonight's affairs thoroughly, Yan Chen would probably dispatch his trump card—the Political Department.
The Political Department, although mostly comprising newly recruited investigators, also included some elite agents who had come down from the Sanctuary.
If they got involved in the investigation, with non-professionals like Ah-Tai and Eagle leaving behind traces, they would definitely find out everything there was to find.
Thus, Qiu Tu had to find someone to help handle all traces of the incident.
And in the whole of Xinjie City, only the military, only the Security Department had such experts who could clean up traces, magically cover up the whereabouts of Master Qin Si and his family without anyone noticing!
Therefore, Qiu Tu had to cooperate with the Security Department.
Of course, knowing how crucial the Security Department was to the plan, Qiu Tu didn't put all his hopes on Lin Zuo.
He had a Plan B—starting with Qin Shuman.
Just... that would make things much more complicated.
For now, having negotiated with Lin Zuo and achieving his aim, Qiu Tu's mood instantly became much lighter.
