Then let them offer their loyalty!

at the same time.

While Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu were in the office, talking and analyzing the situation in Dongye Prefecture.

In Dongcheng City, in a government building left over from before the Cataclysmic Era, a series of votes are being held.

"Raise your hand if you agree to merge 16 cities, including Dongcheng, New Territories, Yanze, etc., into Dongyezhou!"

"Raise your hand if you agree that Dongcheng should be the capital of Dongye Prefecture!"

"Those who agree with Huang Shangzong being the Speaker of the Dongye State Assembly, please raise your hands!"

"Those who agree with Li Tingdong being appointed as the Vice Speaker of the Dong Ye State Assembly, please raise your hands!"

"Please raise your hand if you agree to appoint Ye Mingfeng as the Vice Speaker of the Dongye State Legislative Assembly!"

"agree......"

With each resolution passed, the Fifth State of the Eighth Sanctuary, Dongye State, was officially established!

With the establishment of Dongye Prefecture, messages began to spread across various cities, unplanned areas, and disaster zones via radio waves on different frequencies...

With the addition of the "Boundless Ocean of the Heart" development plan in the New Territories, everyone knows that these sixteen cities are about to undergo a huge change and reshuffle!

Meanwhile... on the 9th floor of the New Territories City Detective Agency.

Several unfamiliar faces, dressed in plain clothes, suddenly had their communicators buzzing.

They picked up the communicator and saw only two simple words on it: Action.

Upon seeing the text message, they perked up and exchanged a glance.

Two minutes later, the men appeared next to the eagle.

They presented a document and said, "Hello, Cui Ying! We are inspectors from the Dongyezhou Inspectorate. We now suspect you of being involved in a murder case."

"Please come back with us for questioning!"

-----------

Two chapters, each 10,000 words long. The next chapter will be released between 4 and 5 PM. Please vote with monthly tickets!!

Chapter 304 (10,000 words, please vote!)

Eagle's expression didn't change much when he heard what the men in front of him said.

As if he had expected this day to come, he readily put down his busy work and said to the group, "Okay. But please let me check the documents."

As he spoke, he reached out and took the documents handed to him by the leading man.

After a careful inspection to ensure it was completely compliant and legal, Eagle nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay. Please lead the way."

Perhaps not expecting the eagles to cooperate so readily, the group exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

But now that the die is cast, they have no choice but to continue performing their duties.

So, before long, Eagle was taken away by the newly established inspector of Dongye Prefecture, right under the noses of many agents from the Political Department on the 9th floor.

This was a major event for the Political Department, which had just undergone a change of regime!

After all, who is the Eagle?

He is one of Qiu Tu's most important confidants. He is Qiu Tu's childhood friend!

The fact that someone of such status was taken away by the newly established Dongye Prefecture Supervisory Bureau speaks volumes.

This is almost a blatant political statement: the Speaker of the Dongye State Assembly has a conflict with Qiu Tu and is investigating Qiu Tu.

Normally, when something like this happens, the entire Investigation Bureau should either kick someone when they're down or distance themselves from Qiu Tu and adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

but.....

This time, however, things have changed somewhat compared to before...

After the eagle was captured, Qiu Tu's communicator was immediately bombarded with calls.

Dozens of text messages flooded in as if they were free, causing Qiu Tu's communicator, which was chatting with Tang Feifei, to vibrate incessantly.

This change also interrupted Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei's conversation.

Tang Feifei glanced at Qiu Tu's pants pocket with interest and then stopped the conversation.

Qiu Tu didn't seem to care. He took out his communicator, quickly skimmed through the messages, and then smiled as he looked up at Tang Feifei, saying, "The Eagle has been taken away."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei smiled slightly on her beautiful face, "Everyone says that Huang Shangzong is decisive and efficient, and now it seems that it is indeed true."

She picked up her communicator from the table, glanced at it, and said, "He should have officially become the Speaker of the State Assembly five minutes ago."

"And now they've taken the eagle away."

"That was really fast."

Qiu Tu muted the communicator and said nonchalantly, "They're probably worried that things might get complicated if they wait too long."

Seeing Qiu Tu so calm, Tang Feifei picked up her coffee cup and asked curiously, "You don't seem worried at all?"

Qiu Tu said with a clear conscience, "I didn't kill the person, so what do I have to worry about?"

"Let Speaker Huang investigate if he wants. I was hoping he could prove my innocence."

Tang Feifei chuckled upon hearing this and reminded her, "You should know... no one can withstand torture."

Qiu Tu nodded and said, "So, even if you confess, I don't need to worry. After all, it's highly likely that you'll be forced to confess under torture."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression, but she quickly dismissed it...

Even though Qiu Tu was always tight-lipped and never told her the truth about anything, she wasn't stupid. She had recently worked with Qiu Tu on Wu Zhi's death case, so she knew that Wu Zhi's death was highly suspicious, and most likely, it was the man in front of her who was responsible.

At the time, she was shocked by Qiu Tu's audacity. He even dared to kill Huang Shangzong's confidant. Was he really not afraid of Huang Shangzong's revenge?

It's important to know that Huang Shangzong is no ordinary person; he's a member of the Supreme Council of the Shelter! And he's also the Speaker of the Dongye State Council!

For such a powerful figure, crushing Qiu Tu was as easy as crushing an ant.

However... it must be said that Qiu Tu has a certain charm that makes people believe in him.

However, this charm is not the kind of "domineering aura" described in many TV dramas or novels, but rather... it comes from a series of victories.

Human nature is to "admire the strong".

When a person can achieve victory against any enemy, no matter how strong, and turn the tide even against the strongest foe, those around him will naturally believe that he can overcome anything.

Qiu Tu is that kind of person. His career in the Investigation Department has been nothing short of legendary lately. Even as a lowly first-level detective, deputy section chief, section chief, deputy director, even when facing enemies like Jia Shu, the Evil God, and Yan Chen... he has continued to march towards victory!

The most iconic event was his comeback against all odds. After Yan Chen dismissed him from his position as deputy director of the political department, he used the power of the shelter to achieve a decisive victory, not only regaining his position as deputy director of the political department but also advancing further!

He became the Minister of the Political Department!

Such an exaggerated comeback against all odds almost gave Qiu Tu an aura of invincibility.

Huang Shangzong does seem to have a higher position now, but... isn't the gap between him and Qiu Tu just the same as the gap between Yan Chen and Qiu Tu in the past?

If Qiu Tu could manipulate Yan Chen at will, why couldn't he deal with Huang Shangzong?

It was this idea that made Tang Feifei choose to trust Qiu Tu even though she didn't know what arrangements Qiu Tu had made or what backup plans he had made.

It was precisely because of this same idea that the detectives and section chiefs who had previously remained indifferent to Qiu Tu's battle with Yan Chen, only observing from the sidelines, suddenly began tipping Qiu Tu off this time...

It's all because... Qiu Tu has created too many miracles, and everyone believes that even if he faces Huang Shangzong, he can still continue to win.

Now that Qiu Tu was so confident, Tang Feifei felt there was no point in continuing the conversation.

Thinking this, she asked, "So, do you have any plans for the future?"

Qiu Tu knew that Tang Feifei was not referring to "Wu Zhi's death", but rather to how to deal with Yan Chen and Huang Shangzong.

Thinking this, he said, "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it."

"And..." Qiu Tu paused for a moment, "I'm actually not interested in them right now."

"Oh?" Tang Feifei looked at Qiu Tu with interest. "So what are you interested in?"

Qiu Tu looked at Tang Feifei and said, "The 'Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Project'! And... an evil god!"

Qiu Tu referenced Tang Feifei's earlier topic, saying, "Just like you said. At the level of Elder Wang and Elder Hu, although they have their own close and distant relationships and factions, they...would not deliberately suppress capable people because of their closeness or factions."

"So if you want a promotion, you still need to produce real results."

"Is anything more important right now than the 'Boundless Heart Sea Project' and the 'Evil God'?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then added, "That's all."

"So, since Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen are attacking us..."

"And they are powerful. So... why should we go against them?"

"Let them fight if they want to; let's focus on our work."

"I'll take stable control of the Political Department, and you can focus on being your deputy director."

"Besides our regular jobs, let's work together on the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind Expansion Project. As long as our regular jobs go smoothly and we can still play a role in the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind Expansion Project, what makes Huang Shangzong and his gang think they can defeat us?"

"Moreover, Elder Wang and his men have a thorough understanding of the intelligence in each state. Comparing the two sides, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent!"

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Tang Feifei's eyes.

Then, she pondered Qiu Tu's "plan" for a moment.

Respond to all changes with constancy, and fight without fighting!

'Wonderful....'

A hint of appreciation flashed in Tang Feifei's beautiful eyes. She looked at Qiu Tu and then asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu coughed, finally revealing the purpose behind his words: "There really is one."

"I want a Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm that can alter the aura of my own soul."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth to ask Qiu Tu what he needed it for.

But... she swallowed the words back down her throat.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow night, I can get it for you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Tang Feifei nodded slightly.

.......

Leaving Tang Feifei's office, Tan Huimin was pacing anxiously back and forth at the door.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, she quickly stepped forward and whispered to him, "Sir, something's happened. Eagle has been taken away by the Dongye Prefecture Supervisory Bureau."

"They say he was involved in a murder case."

“Someone told me that the murder case involved is likely the death of Wu Zhi, a close associate of the current Speaker of the Dong Ye State Assembly, Huang Shangzong.”

Hearing Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and said, "I understand." Then he strode towards the elevator.

Seeing Qiu Tu's nonchalant attitude, Tan Huimin was clearly puzzled.

She couldn't help but follow, then whispered, "Sir, aren't you worried about the eagle getting hurt?"

"Worried?" Qiu Tu glanced at her, looking puzzled, and said, "Why should I be worried?"

He said with a serious expression, "I believe in the eagles as much as I believe in myself."

At this point, Qiu Tu changed the subject and added, "So I believe he didn't do it..."

.......

at the same time.

In a makeshift interrogation room converted from an office of the New Territories City Hall.

The inspectors from the supervisory bureau were interrogating the eagle.

The middle-aged man in the lead pointed at the eagle and said to his deputy, "Draw a vial of Detective Cui's blood first, and then compare it with the suspect's blood."

"Yes."

After the deputy finished drawing blood and sent it for testing and comparison, the middle-aged man in charge slowly said, "Detective Cui... no, I'll still call you Eagle."

Do you know what crime you have committed?

Upon hearing this, the eagle shook its head. "I don't know."
