Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 465 - 307 Qiu Tu: Everything Is Basic Manipulation, Don’t Panic (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)
After understanding Qiu Tu's motive, a hint of realization naturally crept into Tang Feifei's tone.
She said, "There are only thieves for a thousand days, never a guard against thieves for a thousand days...."
"Since Huang Shangzong will definitely investigate Wu Zhi's death, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to decide the timing of the investigation, so you can also prepare?"
Qiu Tu chuckled at her words, "Yes. Moreover, since I arranged for someone to report my own case, I can also decide the scope of the investigation...."
Tang Feifei, on the other side of the phone, nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Like... arranging someone to investigate Eagle?"
Qiu Tu uttered a thoughtful "Hmm."
With that in mind, he couldn't help but think of the preparations he had made recently for the bureau....
In fact, on the very day of Wu Zhi's death, Qiu Tu had been pondering how to handle the situation.
Friends who often commit murder know: it's easy to kill someone, but cleaning up afterwards is difficult and complicated. Especially when the victim is a confidant of an important figure, it's even more difficult and complex.
Moreover, Qiu Tu never believed there was such a thing as a perfect crime in this world.
Once an action is taken, there will definitely be traces left behind.
Therefore, if Huang Shangzong were given enough manpower and resources, finding the perpetrator of a case in a world with supernatural powers would be all too easy for a State Speaker.
So, right then, Qiu Tu made a decision: He must not give Huang Shangzong any time!
The timing and scope of the investigation must be controlled by himself!
For this reason, during this period, he not only arranged for his confidants to continue cleaning up all loose ends from the day of the incident but also began investigating which of Huang Shangzong's confidants had the authority to investigate the case.
Soon, he locked onto a target: He Xin.
Like Wu Zhi, He Xin was an advisor in Huang Shangzong's Attendant's Office and a graduate of the "Military Academy." He excelled in solving cases and investigations, but his temperament was not stable enough, sometimes making mistakes due to impulsivity, and thus he merely attended the "Military Academy" without graduating.
However, possibly because this impulse was somewhat akin to Huang Shangzong's own, despite He Xin not successfully graduating from the "Military Academy," Huang Shangzong still took him under his wing, preparing to nurture him.
After all, in the eyes of Huang Shangzong, being impulsive wasn't entirely a bad thing. This impulsiveness could actually be a plus when handling some dubious or major cases.
Precisely because of this line of thought, after the establishment of Dongye State, Huang Shangzong arranged for He Xin to join the Supervisory Bureau of Dongye State, intending to sharpen this sword, He Xin.
However... such arrangements obviously exposed vulnerabilities that Qiu Tu could exploit.
After discovering He Xin's weakness, Qiu Tu immediately marked him as a target.
Once selecting the target for the mission, Qiu Tu's next step was to establish the mission objectives.
The primary purpose of Qiu Tu's mission this time was to get through the incident of Wu Zhi's death.
Therefore, he had two options:
One was to provide a perpetrator for He Xin to catch, thereby closing the case.
Two was to completely eliminate Eagle, the real killer, from the suspicion list in the case, legally.
After much consideration, Qiu Tu ultimately chose the second option.
The reason was simple:
The former could be reopened at any time if new clues were discovered;
But the latter... because it had a complete set of clues and evidence to exclude suspicion, even if new clues were found, it would be almost impossible to overturn the case.
Once deciding on the mission objective, Qiu Tu only did a few things.
The first thing was to use his Cataclysmic ability "Order Space" to completely heal Eagle's injuries, even restoring the bullet holes and scars.
The second thing was to have Eagle return to the scene of the crime and use the gravel there with the blood of "Lone Wolf" to create a fake blood sample.
The third thing was to personally visit Qin Shuman and obtain a Cataclysmic Potion targeted at Cataclysmic suspects from the Security Department:
This potion, as mentioned by the Supervisor, could remove the Cataclysmic Power from a Cataclysmic's body, making it easier for the Security Department to keep them in custody.

With these three finishing touches and fabricated evidence, plus the alibi created by Eagle using "Uncompromising Simulacrum" on the day, Qiu Tu's trap was thoroughly set.
What remained was to find a suitable informant....
In the matter of the informant, Qiu Tu hesitated for a long time.
He felt that the most suitable informant must meet several criteria:
1. Must have a grudge against himself. 2. Must be able to access the crime scene. 3. Must have a certain status....
4. It would be best if they could also cooperate with the execution of his plan....
These were almost impossible conditions to meet, as they contradicted each other.
Then, at that time... Qiu Tu inadvertently discovered that Ji Chen seemed to have disappeared.
At the time, Qiu Tu didn't think much of it, only finding it strange that Ji Chen had been unseen for many days.
But when he had his confidants inquire about it, he learned a shocking piece of news: Ji Chen seemed to have been killed by Yan Chen.... (Chapter 279)
This gave Qiu Tu an unexpected surprise!
Because... while a living Ji Chen didn't meet Qiu Tu's requirements, a dead Ji Chen perfectly fit the bill!
He had a certain status, bore a grudge against Qiu Tu, and had access to the crime scene. And most importantly... the dead can't speak.
As for whether he would cooperate with Qiu Tu or not, that depended on Qiu Tu's own arrangements!
So... Qiu Tu also schemed against another "dead person," Zheng Tao.
He deliberately had Tan Huimin sign Ji Chen's name on the documents for Zheng Tao's interrogation and release (Chapter 282) and stored them in the Investigation Bureau's records.
He created a fake impression that Ji Chen had owed Zheng Tao a favor and had been in contact at that time.
