Seeing this, Qiu Tu became even more certain in his heart. He smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Is there a problem with my suspicion?"
In just that one second, Liu Fuping also recovered.
She obviously wanted to continue pretending, so she twisted in Qiu Tu's arms and gently pounded his shoulder, coquettishly saying, "Commander, stop teasing~ I'm discussing serious matters with you~"
Hearing her words, Qiu Tu "haha" laughed twice, then slid his hand holding the gun up from her slender waist, over the profound hollow, her fair neck, all the way to her chin.
With the muzzle of the gun, he lifted Liu Fuping's chin and looked into her beautiful eyes, speaking softly,
"Sister Liu, I'm not messing around either."
"You might have misunderstood me due to my image all this time. Thinking I'm just a rogue who got into the Interrogation Section through connections."
"But actually... I do have some skills of my own."
"Not many, unfortunately... but your flaw was too big."
After he finished speaking, Qiu Tu turned off the safety with one hand and asked the final question, "Tell me, Sister Liu, who are you working for? Why did you come to see me tonight?"
Seeing Qiu Tu was not joking but actually intending to take action against her, Liu Fuping immediately struggled to free herself from Qiu Tu's restraint.
The result was that she didn't realize until she struggled that Qiu Tu's body was as solid as steel, locking her firmly in place, unable to move at all.
Her face didn't show it, but her body secretly exerted more strength.
But what was more frightening was that no matter how much strength she used, Qiu Tu seemed to feel nothing and bore it all.
Liu Fuping was stunned. Although she was not skilled in strength, she was not someone who could be easily restrained by an ordinary man.
Now, it felt not like she was being held in a man's arms but was bitten by a great beast!
The power was so strong it made her despair!
At this moment, feeling her struggle, Qiu Tu laughed as well, "Sister Liu not pretending anymore?"
Liu Fuping, seeing that she couldn't get away from Qiu Tu, could only give up struggling.
But even so, her "professionalism" still made her force a smile and said defiantly, "Commander, I really don't know what you're talking about, please let me go...."
Originally, Liu Fuping had no hope when she said this.
After all... Qiu Tu's sudden turnaround tonight had proven her misjudgment about Qiu Tu: the person in front of her was not an ignorant rogue at all, but a hunter lurking in the shadows!
Who knew, just when she was in despair, Qiu Tu actually let her go....
This move threw Liu Fuping off.
She stood there, her beautiful eyes dazed as she looked at Qiu Tu.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu, while putting away the gun, asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Sister Liu, do you miss my embrace?"
Liu Fuping realized her own lapse. She reached up to adjust her hair, giving Qiu Tu a complex look, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Qiu Tu responded casually while leaning on the car,
"If I've seen through your identity, does it matter whether you admit it or not?"
"We're all in the same boat, there's no need to push things to the extreme. Maybe in the future, I'll fall into your hands and be begging you for mercy."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping silently stared at him.
After a long moment, she said softly, "I'm not the murderer. I came to you to actually see if you were the murderer."
"When I told you about the female spy's death, you didn't show any surprise, I thought you might really be the murderer."
"Later, I realized your calmness probably meant you already knew the news."
"And since you weren't flustered by my probing, it's highly likely you're not the killer."
"So, for the time being, I've excluded you from the list of suspects."
When she finished, she stepped backward out of Qiu Tu's attack range.
Seeing that Qiu Tu really didn't intend to harm her, she slowly turned around, ready to leave.
But as she took her first step, she immediately drew it back.
With her back to Qiu Tu, she said softly, "I can't let my identity be exposed, so I must find the murderer in advance to avoid this matter affecting me."
"Sorry about tonight...."
After that, she didn't linger, striding away from Old Alley Street.
Watching the beautiful young woman leaving, the smile on Qiu Tu's face grew wider.
Sometimes, controlling a person doesn't mean you have to force them relentlessly; a balance of give and take can often achieve the desired result more effectively.
Look, by simply sparing Liu Fuping for a moment, not only did he immediately gain an ally for the investigation, but he also got a lovely scapegoat...
The case hadn't blown up yet, and even if he arrested her, it would only involve his own efforts.
Better to give her freedom first, let her do some investigating and see if there's any unexpected gain.
Even if she doesn't root out the murderer, he could reveal her identity when the case blows up. By then, she would instantly become a perfect shield, buying a few more days.
If she runs, she's the criminal.
If she doesn't run, she's the spare tire scapegoat.
And once the case is over, well... Madam, you certainly don't want those above you to find out about your spy identity, do you?
Qiu Tu felt that no matter how things developed, he could easily maximize her value.
'This isn't a bad move.'
Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this.
[Liu Fuping Loyalty +8]
Qiu Tu paused, then laughed.
Heh... it's not just not bad, it's an overwhelming win....
