Then let them offer their loyalty!

Indeed, for the convenience of handling cases, the "cooperation investigation team" is often headed by an expert from a powerful department who has been invited to the team and has the highest command authority; other members are subordinates who obey his orders.

So... it's not wrong for Cui Daren to call himself his subordinate.

But... [the pharmacy robbery]...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu glanced at Cui Daren with a complicated expression...

This case is not that simple...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the information he had just received from Old Master Qin...

Chapter 143 The Sanctuary's Commendation (1.2 words, 2/3)

According to Mr. Qin.

The "god" he worshipped, named "Rahiro," was not some kind of high-level catastrophic creature, but a complete deity.

She possessed porcelain-like skin and a perfect figure, wearing a golden crown and a white veil, making her both alluring and beautiful.

The path to disaster she took was through reproduction.

As for why Old Master Qin became her follower, it was also due to a coincidence.

More than 20 years ago, after experiencing a loss of strength, Mr. Qin was extremely frustrated and prayed that if he could regain his former glory, he would be willing to pay any price!

As a result... that night, he dreamed of Lariro.

In his dream, Lariro told him that she was the goddess in charge of reproduction, and that she was in charge of all areas related to the continuation of life.

Therefore, He can not only help Old Master Qin regain his former glory, but also allow him to return to his youth and achieve immortality.

The price, however, is that Old Master Qin must believe in Him and become His follower.

At the time, Old Master Qin thought he was just dreaming about what he had been thinking about during the day, so he didn't take it seriously and agreed without hesitation.

To everyone's surprise, the next day, Old Master Qin actually regained his virility! Not only did he engage in dozens of rounds of battle with his mistress, but he also made her scream with pleasure!

However... this did not make Old Master Qin happy; on the contrary... it filled him with immense fear.

After all, if everything that happened in the dream was real, it meant that he might have made an irrevocable deal with a mysterious, unknown entity.

So he began to try to figure out what was going on.

But in that era... humanity hadn't even given birth to Cataclysms or the ability to cause cataclysms, so how could they possibly understand what "God" was?

So, after he really couldn't figure out what was going on, Old Master Qin simply gave up and started enjoying the benefits that La Riluo brought him.

During this time, he sometimes worried that Lariro might be an evil god or a trap.

However... after living like this for two or three years without feeling anything unusual or experiencing any physical problems, he finally believed that the deity he worshipped was indeed a "god".

So, gradually, he became more and more devout.

In the years that followed, Old Master Qin asked Lariluo countless times what she needed, and whether there was anything he, as her believer, could do for her...

But Lariel's answer was always no. She only wanted her followers to be sexually happy and content...

This is also why Grandpa Qin firmly believed that Larilu was a true god and worthy of his faith...

As for the "immortality" deal between Old Master Qin and La Riluo, it was quite simple.

Seven or eight years after meeting Larilu, Old Master Qin grew older and began to fear death. So he prayed to Larilu, wanting to slow down his aging and desire eternal life.

This time, after much deliberation, Larilu agreed, but also put forward conditions for the exchange.

Larilu will grant Old Master Qin an eternal soul. As long as Old Master Qin keeps changing bodies that are related to him by blood, he can achieve immortality!

Old Master Qin will need to use the [cloning female body] technology to cultivate a suitable female body for La Riluo and guide her to this world.

This request was so simple that it delighted Old Master Qin.

So he agreed immediately.

So, for the next ten years or so, while cultivating his and La Riluo's bodies, Old Master Qin joined the alliance, acquired resources, and worked hard to develop.

Finally, through his tireless efforts, the Qin family became one of the most prominent families in the New Territories. Three years ago, he also achieved immortality, his soul entering the bodies of Qin Heng and Qin Cheng respectively.

One body continued to rule the Qin family, while the other indulged in debauchery and lavish parties, accumulating power for him and La Riluo.

Finally, just over two weeks ago, Larilu's body was ready.

So, following the method given by La Riluo, Old Master Qin arranged a divine descent ritual to welcome La Riluo's arrival!

However, something happened that day, and after the launching ceremony, Old Master Qin lost consciousness and did not wake up until the next day.

By then, Lariro's body had already disappeared.

Afterwards, when Grandpa Qin tried to contact Larilu again, he found he couldn't reach her no matter what he tried...

After listening to Old Master Qin's story, Qiu Tu had only one thought in his mind: This old man is a fucking idiot!

Even a fool knows that "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

I also know that "there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

As a result, he foolishly believed in an unknown "god" who came to visit him, and even spent more than ten years preparing for Him, just to guide Him to descend into this world!

In the end, however, he was cruelly abandoned by that god!

Most importantly... Qiu Tu suspected that the ritual had most likely succeeded.

Because... the information about La Riluo that Qiu Tu got from Grandpa Qin happened to match some of the scenes that Qiu Tu saw in the masked man in the suit and Wang Xi.

In the fragments of memory that Qiu Tu observes, he discovers that the man in the suit and mask, as well as Wang Xi, seem to be practicing the path of "reproduction" and "sexual love."

Moreover, like Grandpa Qin, he enjoys throwing silver parties.

The world is so big; the probability of encountering the same type of "god" in the same city at the same time is extremely small. Therefore, Qiu Tu felt that this was very likely not a coincidence...

Instead, after squeezing every last drop of value out of Old Master Qin, La Riluo decisively chose her next target...

This is also why Qiu Tu felt the [pharmacy robbery case] was tricky.

After all, if Qiu Tu's deductions and speculations are true, then... the enemy of their investigation team is very likely not an ordinary person, or even a disaster victim, but a high-level catastrophic creature that has descended upon this world with unknown motives and hiding places...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu pulled himself out of his thoughts, then smiled and shook hands with Cui Daren, saying, "Director Cui, you're too kind. Let's exchange ideas more often..."

.......

With the intelligence provided by Qiu Tu, and with their "escape route" cut off, they were able to escape.

This time, Old Master Qin finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Under intense interrogation by the security department, Old Master Qin confessed in detail everything he had done for the [United Front] and for La Riluo over the years.

This, of course, includes the evidence and dirt on the 33 officials arrested by the security department.

Some officials, unaware of the full story, indirectly became accomplices of Old Master Qin; others, fully aware of everything, still stood with Old Master Qin, providing intelligence and assistance to the alliance...

The goal is to hedge bets and gain more profit...

With the confession of the main culprit, Mr. Qin, and the evidence he provided, almost all the arrested suspects quickly confessed to their crimes.

And so... in just a few hours, the entire "Yin Caimei case" progressed rapidly and was completely solved!

To avoid any unforeseen complications.

In the afternoon, the security department submitted all the details of the case to the shelter and stated the outcome: the main culprits, including Mr. Qin, the four major transport companies, and Bai Yongkang, as well as the main accomplices, would be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.

Other accomplices, such as section chiefs and department heads, will be demoted, dismissed, or imprisoned, depending on the severity of their crimes.

The shelter was immediately shaken upon receiving the report.

After carefully reviewing the entire case, the shelter agreed with the security department's decision and issued two commendations and one warning.

The warning was, of course, given to the New Territories City Council.

As the highest authority in the entire New Territories, the Municipal Council is the authority most severely infiltrated by the Qin family and the Alliance, which is a disgrace to the New Territories!

The two accolades were, of course, for the Investigation Department and the Security Department.

The investigation department and security department, which discovered this major case and worked together to quickly apprehend all those involved and the mastermind, received high praise from the shelter.

Although they were just two small written commendations, they were a factor that could influence many things for the upper echelons of the currently turbulent New Territories city....

...

6 pm.

Investigation Department, ninth floor, large conference room.

Nine senior officials from the Investigation Bureau gathered here for a meeting.

The main purposes of this meeting are twofold: one is to summarize the Yin Caimei case, and the other is to study the personnel arrangements of the Investigation Department.

Several of Qiu Tu's acquaintances, including Yan Chen, Tang Feifei, Jia Shu, and Secretary Bai, were present.

Perhaps because it was a formal occasion, the people's demeanor was different from their private selves.

Especially Tang Feifei.

When facing Qiu Tu, her smile was faint, but her expression was very lively.

But in this serious setting, her wheat-colored face was completely expressionless, eerily cold.

At the beginning of the meeting, Secretary Bai gave a brief introduction to the Yin Caimei case to the senior executives present.

This includes the cause and course of the case, as well as the evidence, testimonies, punishments for those involved, and commendations from the shelter.

In order to highlight the role played by the Investigation Bureau, and also at Yan Chen's behest, Secretary Bai mentioned keywords such as "Qiu Tu" and "Political Department" several times.

The high-ranking officials present were all astute individuals. Just by listening to Secretary Bai read the report, they roughly understood Yan Chen's purpose in holding this meeting and his personal stance...

To put it bluntly, Yan Chen was using the shelter's commendation today to build momentum for Qiu Tu and make everyone understand how the personnel arrangements should be made next...

This prompted the senior officials present to wonder what vacant section chief positions the Investigation Department currently had...

After a year of filling vacancies and promotions, the current Detective Agency still has some vacant classrooms without section chiefs, but... most of them are now considered low-level or ineffective departments.

Examples include the records section of the administrative office, the heads of the police stations under the public security department, and the equipment management section of the training department, etc.

However, these are clearly not good places to go...

Chapter 144 Promotion! Section Chief! (1.2 words, 3/3!)

Especially since... Qiu Tu's previous position was the deputy head of the interrogation section of the political department.

As the ace department of the Investigation Bureau, the Political Department has a very special status. When a deputy section chief of the Political Department is transferred to another department as a section chief, although it can be considered a promotion, it can also be considered a demotion in disguise.

After all, while such a promotion path may lead to a higher rank, it would significantly reduce opportunities for meritorious service and influence over the Detective Agency and the New Territories City.

Therefore... being promoted to one of those low-level government departments might not necessarily be a good thing for Qiu Tu, who is currently riding high on his success.

Thinking this way, the senior executives couldn't help but have their own thoughts wandering.

'Could it be... that they're planning to transfer section chiefs from other departments to less popular ones, making room for Qiu Tu's advancement?'

The idea was immediately dismissed by several senior executives.

After all... such an arrangement is far too conspicuous.

Even though the Investigation Bureau has always been under Yan Chen's absolute control, allowing him to make personnel arrangements at will, such a special appointment will still attract a lot of criticism. Even if it doesn't affect Yan Chen now, it could be used as a reason to attack him if something happens in the future.

Moreover, those present were all long-time colleagues of Yan Chen, having worked with him for a year or even more, and had a certain understanding of his shrewdness and calculating nature. They knew... he would never resort to such an ordinary tactic.

Thinking about this, the senior executives suddenly couldn't figure out what Yan Chen was up to.

So they simply stopped thinking about it and patiently waited for Yan Chen's decision...

However, Yan Chen didn't seem to be in a hurry at this moment.

After Secretary Bai patiently explained the "Yin Caimei case," he looked around at everyone present and set the tone for the "Yin Caimei case."

"This case should be the biggest case that our New Territories City Investigation Department has handled since its establishment."

"This is also one of the most serious cases in the planning area in recent years."
