Let them offer their loyalty!

He looked at Yan Chen, and then spoke directly, "Bureau Chief, the spy case involving Yin Caimei is very extensive."

"It not only involves dozens of directors and commissioners, but also... very likely involves someone you highly regard."

"Someone I highly regard?" Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen's eyes revealed a hint of deep thought, then he inquired, "Who?"

Qiu Tu looked at Yan Chen with a face devoid of any expression, only filled with righteousness, "Commissioner Qin!"

"According to our investigation, whether it's Vice President Tian, Qian Dafu, Qi Yun, or even Yin Caimei, all are related to Commissioner Qin!"

This time, Yan Chen's face did not show much surprise.

It was as if he had anticipated this, and then while sipping tea, he said expressionlessly, "Being related to these suspects... is quite normal."

"As one of Xinjie City's largest families, the Qin Family will have relations with various people in Xinjie City."

Having said this, he paused, "The key is... whether this case has anything to do with him."

Yan Chen acted as though he was sure Qiu Tu had no relevant evidence, appearing very unconcerned.

But... Qiu Tu was waiting for him to say just that, so he stepped forward, directly placing on Yan Chen's desk the paper records of the interrogation of Qian Dafu, Qi Yun, and Third Brother Qin.

Then he stepped back to his original position and said, "Bureau Chief, these are the confessions of several criminal suspects and related evidence."

"According to their testimonies, they are all subordinates of Qin Heng, Commissioner Qin, and have all followed Commissioner Qin's commands. And it was under Commissioner Qin's instigation that they engaged in anti-government and anti-Sanctuary actions!"

"According to their confessions, the Qin Family rose to power with the help of the Anti-government Armed Forces. And Yin Caimei was introduced into Xinjie City by Commissioner Qin himself, who placed her as a professional spy beside Vice President Tian!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen's body involuntarily froze. He tried hard to conceal his shock, but from his slightly contracting pupils and the involuntary rubbing of his fingers, his inner turmoil was still apparent.

This time, he did not respond to Qiu Tu right away but picked up the confessions on the desk to read.

He read for over ten minutes, and the spacious office was quiet for ten minutes.

During this time, Qiu Tu stood straight in front of the desk, looking unwaveringly at Yan Chen, like a statue, so he also noticed every change in Yan Chen's expression throughout.

This man, ranking among the top three most powerful in Xinjie, did not relax his brows from the moment he picked up the confessions.

He read the materials word by word, his lips pressing tighter and tighter.

Qiu Tu suspected that he did not actually need to read for so long, but rather did not want to lose his composure in front of his subordinate. Or perhaps... he was pondering how to handle the matter.

Sure enough, after finishing the several confessions in his hands, Yan Chen slowly put them down, and then said expressionlessly, "These confessions seem very interesting... they answer whatever you ask."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu understood what Yan Chen meant. So, he immediately stepped forward and placed a videotape on Yan Chen's desk with both hands, "Bureau Chief, this is the video material of the interrogation."

"It can be seen inside, all three of them voluntarily confessed to their issues."

Saying this, Qiu Tu paused, then slowly said, "As for the reason... actually, I used a disposable Interrogation Type Cataclysmic treasure."

He continued, "Before cooperating with the Security Department according to your request, Minister Jia reminded me that there were interrogation-specific Cataclysmic treasures in the Security Department. So, when I negotiated with the Security Department, I specifically requested one."

After listening to Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen's expression slowly turned grim...

He just quietly looked at Qiu Tu.

After a moment, he slowly said, "First... the Interrogation Type Cataclysmic treasures used by the Security Department are not 100% effective, but have a success rate."

"Secondly, although Interrogation Type Cataclysmic treasures can ensure the authenticity of the confession, they... cannot guarantee it is the [truth]."

"Many suspects or witnesses believe what they know to be the truth, but it's quite possible they are just misunderstandings. This can lead to serious misdirection in case investigations."

"Finally, and most importantly, our Investigation Bureau doesn't have the authority to use Interrogation Type Cataclysmic treasures. The Sanctuary stipulates, aside from the Security Department, no other authority can consider confessions obtained using Cataclysmic treasures as valid...."

"And even the Security Department is forbidden from using Interrogation Type Cataclysmic treasures on current officials."

Upon saying this, Yan Chen slightly shook his head, his face showing a look of disappointment, then he picked up the teacup and started sipping tea again.

But at this moment, Qiu Tu didn't concede defeat, speaking bluntly, "Bureau Chief. I'm aware of all that you've mentioned."

"Therefore, I did not plan to convict Commissioner Qin based on these confessions."

He paused for a moment before he proceeded, "Whether it's Qian Dafu, Qi Yun, or Third Master Qin, they all have the habit of preserving evidence!"

"They have confessed to their privately stored evidence. That evidence is sufficient to convict Commissioner Qin with [zero confessions]!"

Stay tuned with empire

"Bang!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

At Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen slammed the teacup he had just sipped from heavily down on the table!

He could no longer maintain his usual indifference and steadiness!

His drooping eyelids were lifted, and his tiger-like eyes stared emotionlessly at Qiu Tu. Without uttering a word, his stance couldn't have been clearer:

He didn't truly disbelieve Qiu Tu's investigation or genuinely think the evidence was irregular, but... he simply didn't want to investigate Commissioner Qin!
