Hearing the words of the n before him, the expression on Eagle's face showed little change.
It was as if he had long anticipated such a day, he cooperatively put down the work in his hands, and then said to the several n, "Can do. But please let check the docunts."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the docunts that the leading man handed over.
After carefully verifying that everything was completely in order and legal, Eagle nodded, then stood up and said, "Alright. Then please lead the way."
The n might not have expected Eagle to be so cooperative, and they exchanged glances, all reading the seriousness in each other's eyes.
But now that the arrow was on the bowstring, they had no choice but to continue to execute their official duties.
Thus, in no ti, Eagle was led away by the newly established Supervisory Bureau of Dongye State, right in front of the watchful eyes of many detectives from the Political Departnt on the 9th floor.
For the recently reford Political Departnt, this was a big deal!
After all, who was Eagle?
He was one of Qiu Tu's most important confidants, a childhood friend who had grown up with Qiu Tu!
The implication of such a person being taken away by the newly established Supervisory Bureau of Dongye State was self-evident.
It was virtually an overt political statent: there were conflicts between the Speaker of Dongye State and Qiu Tu, and they were investigating Qiu Tu.
Normally, upon such an event, the staff at the Investigation Bureau should be jumping on the bandwagon or keeping their distance from Qiu Tu, adopting a wait-and-see approach.
But this ti...
The situation was sowhat different from the past...
As soon as Eagle was taken away, Qiu Tu's communicator was blown up with ssages.
Dozens of texts sward in like nobody's business, causing the communicator of Qiu Tu, who was chatting with Tang Feifei, to keep buzzing non-stop.
This interruption also put a pause to the conversation between Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei.
Tang Feifei, quite interested, glanced at the pocket of Qiu Tu's pants and took the initiative to stop the conversation.
Qiu Tu, on the other hand, didn't mind. He took out his communicator, quickly skimd through the ssages, then looked up with a smile and said to Tang Feifei, "Eagle has been taken away."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a smile appeared on Tang Feifei's charming face, "They say Huang Shangzong acts swiftly and decisively, and it seems it truly is the case."
She picked up her own communicator from the table, glanced at it, and said, "He must have officially beco the Speaker of the State Council just five minutes ago."
"And now he has taken away Eagle."
"That really is quick."
Qiu Tu set his communicator to silent mode and said indifferently, "He's probably worried about the night bringing more dreams."
Seeing how calm Qiu Tu was, Tang Feifei took a sip of her coffee and asked curiously, "You don't seem worried at all?"
With an air of having a clear conscience, Qiu Tu said, "I didn't kill the man, so what is there for to worry about."
"Let Chairman Huang conduct the investigation if he wishes. I'm hoping he can prove my innocence."
Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei chuckled lightly and reminded him, "You should know... nobody can withstand torture."
Qiu Tu nodded and said, "So, even if I confess under torture, I don't have to worry. After all, it's very likely a coerced confession."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a thoughtful look flickered in Tang Feifei's eyes, but then she didn't seem to care anymore...
Even though Qiu Tu was always tight-lipped and never revealed the truth about anything to her, she wasn't a fool. Having worked with Qiu Tu on the case of Wu Zhi's death recently, she knew the circumstances of Wu Zhi's death were highly unusual, and it was very likely this man before her was responsible.
At the ti, she was actually shocked by Qiu Tu's audacity, daring to kill the confidant of Huang Shangzong. Was he really not afraid of Huang Shangzong's retaliation?
One must know that Huang Shangzong was no ordinary figure—he was a mber of the Supre Sanctuary Council and also the Speaker of Dongye State!
Such a prominent figure could crush Qiu Tu as easily as one would crush an ant.
But it must be said, Qiu Tu had that kind of persuasive charm.
However, this charm wasn't like the "King's Dominating Aura" often described in many TV shows or novels, but rather... it ca from a series of victories.
It is in human nature to admire strength.
When a person can achieve victory regardless of the enemy; when they can turn the tide even against the strongest foes, those around him will inevitably believe he can overco anything.
Qiu Tu was such a person. His recent exploits in the Investigation Bureau were too legendary. Even as a re First Level Detective, Deputy Staff Chief, Staff Chief, Deputy Division Chief, whether he faced Jia Shu, an Evil God, or Yan Chen... he still kept moving towards victory!
And the most symbolic event was his remarkable coback. After Yan Chen had stripped him of his position as Deputy Chief of the Political Departnt, he managed to use the Sanctuary's power to strike from a lower dinsion, not only regaining his position but even going a step further!
He beca the Director of the Political Departnt!
Such a dramatic turnaround almost added an aura of invincibility around Qiu Tu.
And now, although Huang Shangzong seed to have a higher position... didn't that gap between them resemble the one that used to exist between Yan Chen and Qiu Tu?
If Qiu Tu could play Yan Chen like a fiddle, why couldn't he deal with Huang Shangzong?
It was this line of thinking that made Tang Feifei, despite not knowing what arrangents Qiu Tu had made or what cards he kept in his hand, still choose to trust him.
Similarly because of this thinking, those detectives and Staff Chiefs who had never interfered with Qiu Tu's confrontations with Yan Chen and rely watched coldly from the sidelines, were now sending ssages to Qiu Tu, warning him of what was coming...
