Because... no one knows how much help his intelligence or stance will bring to the evil god.
But will this assistance make it easier for evil gods to invade the real world...?
For example... that old-fashioned coin.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but take out an identical coin from his pocket.
Qiu Tu found this coin on the assassin, Cataclysm: Lone Wolf.
At the time, Grandpa Qin explained that the coin was given to Lone Wolf by a deity, but he didn't know exactly what it was or how to use it.
Looking at it now... this coin should be a special kind of communication device. It can achieve extraordinary communication over extremely long distances.
Staring at the coin, Qiu Tu thought about more things.
Now that he knows the coin's purpose and how to use it, can he contact and find Lariro anytime?
Qiu Tu hasn't forgotten that he also has an "appreciation of the evil god" [crisis countdown].
Sometimes, it's much better to proactively resolve a problem than to reactively address it.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu fiddled with the coin while pondering how to communicate with Lariluo...
And just like that, the morning passed quickly.
At noon, Qiu Tu went to the rooftop garden on the ninth floor for lunch.
Perhaps because of the collective promotion of his subordinates, Qiu Tu once again received many friendly greetings and salutations along the way. It was as if everything had returned to normal.
Of course, the section chiefs and department heads in the agency still kept their distance from him...
After finishing his meal, Qiu Tu returned to the investigation team, resting while patiently waiting for the arrival of the inspector.
At 2 p.m., Tang Feifei finally called, "Section Chief Qiu, do you have time? Several officers from the Inspection Commission would like to meet with you in person to have a chat."
Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu, who had been waiting a bit bored, sat up and said with a smile, "Of course I have time. May I ask where I'm going now?"
After a moment's thought, Tang Feifei said coldly, "Come to the ninth floor, to my office."
"I have a reception room here, which guarantees absolute privacy and security."
Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall their passionate night in that reception room...
It's indeed very secluded and safe...
Although he had the wrong idea in his mind, Qiu Tu still replied seriously on the surface, "Okay, I'll go up now."
After saying that, Qiu Tu prepared to hang up the phone.
Just then, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, then added softly, "By the way, there's something you might need to be mentally prepared for..."
"Jia Shu has received professional training and has many years of experience working in the political department."
"He's not saying anything right now. The case is going to be a bit difficult..."

Chapter 177 Was Director Liu a victim of the incident back then? (1.1 words, please subscribe!)
Tang Feifei paused for a moment, then said, "So... this case might drag on for a long time."
"Before the dust settles, no one knows if any unexpected changes might occur."
She didn't explain much, but Qiu Tu understood what she meant.
Jia Shu was able to rise to this position not only because of his ability, but also because he had someone above him who appreciated him.
Moreover, this person is definitely not Yan Chen: after all, Yan Chen and Jia Shu are only one level apart, and Yan Chen cannot determine Jia Shu's position.
Therefore, that person's status must be even higher than Yan Chen's, and their influence in the shelter must be enormous... they might even be a truly important figure.
It is precisely because of this powerful backer that Jia Shu has remained silent and uncooperative since his arrest last night.
To put it bluntly... he's waiting for the incident to escalate, waiting for the person behind him to rescue him—he hasn't given up hope at all.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but stroke his chin and fall into deep thought...
Although Jia Shu didn't say anything, he seemed to have roughly learned the whole story from Wang Xi's interrogation records and the "Silver Key Bee" video recordings.
'So...could I try to fight for the "right to interpret" the entire case?'
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu fell into deep thought...
'However... after acquiring this right of interpretation, what can I do? And what purpose can I achieve?'
'Can we shut Jia Shu down, so that the person behind him can't play his role?'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's eyes kept flashing.
Twenty seconds later, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up, but then his brows furrowed slightly.
Just now, a plan suddenly came to him that could solve Jia Shu's problem once and for all. However... this plan was missing a key figure!
'This is a bit tricky...'
It seems we can only take it one step at a time.
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu temporarily put the matter out of his mind and decided to first meet with the three superiors of the inspector and see their attitude before making a decision.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu packed up all the interrogation records, documents, and files on the table, then got up to go to his appointment with Tang Feifei.
As Qiu Tu stepped out of the office, he had only taken two steps when he saw Liu Fuping swaying towards him.
When others get promoted, their aura becomes more refined and profound, giving off an air of quiet authority. But Liu Fuping is different. After her promotion... she seems to have become even more alluring.
'Does red aura nourish the body?'
With these thoughts running through his mind, Qiu Tu prepared to greet Liu Fuping.
Just as Qiu Tu was about to utter the name "Liu Fuping," he suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something...
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked over, grabbed Liu Fuping's hand, and pulled her into an empty meeting room next door amidst the beautiful young woman's exclamation!
When Liu Fuping first saw Qiu Tu, her eyes were already smiling like two curved rainbows. She wanted to come up to Qiu Tu, flirt with him, hold his hand, and kiss him.
As a result, when Qiu Tu so directly and roughly dragged her into the empty conference room, she was startled and immediately backed down.
She clutched her heaving chest and said with a troubled expression, "Qiu Tu... although you promoted me, I'm not the kind of person who would sell my body so easily."
She paused for a moment, blinked her beautiful eyes, and added, "And... I got my period today."
"Or...with your mouth?"
Qiu Tu:? ?
He tapped Liu Fuping on the head and scolded, "What are you thinking about all day? Just trying to freeload, aren't you?"
"I brought you here because I have something important to ask you."
At this point, Qiu Tu closed the door, pulled Liu Fuping to the corner, and then asked in a low voice, "I remember that Director Liu of your Dongcheng City has a grudge against Yan Chen?"
"And this grudge seems to be quite significant, isn't it?"
Seeing Liu Fuping nod, Qiu Tu continued, "Then do you know what the grudge is?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping's face, which had been as rosy as a peach blossom, immediately turned serious.
She was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "It's the hatred for killing my son."
Qiu Tu's gaze sharpened slightly, "The hatred of killing one's son?"
Qiu Tu tentatively asked, "But...it wasn't Yan Chen who killed his son, was it?"
Liu Fuping glanced at Qiu Tu with some surprise, as if she didn't understand how Qiu Tu had guessed it.
However, she still hummed in agreement and then said, "No. But this matter arose because of Yan Chen. He hates Yan Chen the most."
Liu Fuping clearly knew a lot about this matter. With a look of reminiscence in her eyes, she said, "Director Liu is actually a very special figure in the political arena of the area under planning."
"He wasn't like most of the middle and upper-class residents in the planned area, who were nurtured in shelters. Rather..."
At this point, Liu Fuping glanced at Qiu Tu in front of her, "but rather resembles you a bit."
"He was initially just an ordinary civilian from the lowest rungs of society in the disaster zone."
"Later, when the Eighth Shelter was first built, the first batch of areas to be planned were allocated. Like you, he seized the opportunity and became an agent."
"Then, relying on his outstanding abilities, he rose through the ranks step by step and gradually became a prominent figure in the Investigation Bureau."
“Originally, he should have been like you, living the life of a winner. As long as he persevered, he could have continued to rise through the ranks and ultimately completely changed his life.”
"But then, an accident happened. During a field trip after the sanctuary officer school, one of the cadets secretly and brutally murdered several agents from the planned area."
"Among them... was his son."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes revealed a knowing look.
He couldn't help but ask, "And Yan Chen, is he the judge in that case?"
Liu Fuping nodded, then shook her head. "He is a judge, but more than just a judge."
She said, "Yan Chen was a teacher at the shelter's military academy at the time. He was the one who led and was in charge of that practical activity."
“He was actually quite affected by the heinous crimes committed by his students.”
"So, at the very beginning, he sternly told everyone that he would handle the case impartially and would not let the murderer off lightly just because he was one of his students."
"Therefore, the Exploration Department of the planned area and the Military Academy formed a review team to investigate and adjudicate the case."
"Although the murderer has never admitted to his crime, all the traces at the scene point to him, and there is no other suspect."
"Therefore, during the first trial, the review panel found the perpetrator guilty and sentenced him to death."
"But... something happened later. During the second review, Yan Chen suddenly changed his tune and believed that there was still a great deal of suspicion in the case."
"Furthermore, on the grounds that the deceased were not residents of the asylum and therefore not subject to asylum laws, the death penalty was commuted to exile."
"The Shelter Officers' School is a school in Shelter that specializes in training elites. Not only is the school completely autonomous in its internal affairs, but many mid-level officers in the Investigation Department and the military are graduates of that school, giving it a wide-ranging influence."
"Furthermore, instead of directly acquitting the murderer, they were expelled from the shelter."
"So when Yan Chen, who was the team leader and the representative of the officer academy, made up his mind, the other members of the review team did not insist any further and finally agreed to Yan Chen's opinion."
At this point, Liu Fuping said expressionlessly, "But such an outcome is clearly not satisfactory to the deceased's family."
"This is especially unacceptable for Director Liu, who has already suffered the pain of losing his son."
"So, all these years, besides constantly investigating and hunting down the exiled murderer, he has been opposing Yan Chen."
"After all, if Yan Chen hadn't deliberately let that murderer go, perhaps everything would have been different..."
At this point, Liu Fuping paused, then gave a mocking smile, "Yan Chen probably never imagined that a mere section chief from a planned development zone could rise to a high position in just over a decade, become his political enemy, and consistently oppose him."
"Therefore, over the years, Yan Chen has almost never mentioned this matter, and has rarely provoked Director Liu."
After listening to Liu Fuping's story, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, feeling that everything made sense.
In fact, as early as when he learned that Director Liu had a grudge against Yan Chen and was willing to risk crossing the line to plant spies in the New Territories, Qiu Tu had already suspected the extent of the conflict between the two.
—If it were just a simple disagreement on political views or a common conflict, it shouldn't have escalated to this point.
Later, Qiu Tu discovered that in order to get rid of Yan Chen, Director Liu even risked being suppressed by the Investigation Bureau faction and cooperated with Commissioner Jiang, an officer from a different system. Qiu Tu became even more certain of his idea that the two must have a deep-seated hatred for each other!
Therefore, when Qiu Tu saw the grudge between Jia Wei, Jia Shu and Yan Chen from many years ago, and when he saw Liu Fuping, a bold idea immediately came to his mind: Could it be that Director Liu is a relative of the victim?
After listening to Liu Fuping's explanation, Qiu Tu confirmed his guess.
This finally allowed him to complete the last piece of his puzzle...
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu picked up Liu Fuping's face, kissed her hard, and said, "Sister Liu, you really are my lucky star!"
After kissing her, Qiu Tu smiled and patted Liu Fuping's bulging chest before turning and leaving the empty office.
Liu Fuping was left alone, her hand covering her chest, her face flushed with embarrassment as she watched his retreating figure, her eyes misty with tears...
After saying goodbye to Liu Fuping, Qiu Tu took the elevator to the 9th floor.
Upon arriving on the 9th floor, many section chiefs and department heads were waiting to be summoned outside Yan Chen's office.
Upon seeing Qiu Tu arrive on the 9th floor, they couldn't help but look over curiously, wanting to see who Qiu Tu was looking for.
Qiu Tu, who had already planned to test Yan Chen's intentions, made no attempt to conceal himself and swaggered towards Tang Feifei's office...
