Let them offer their loyalty!

Today at noon, Qiu Tu received a phone call from Qin Shuman.

Over the phone, Qin Shuman told Qiu Tu that the Security Department had located the Suit Man's whereabouts and provided a series of intelligence. Explore stories on empire

According to Qin Shuman's briefing, Suit Man had begun appearing at the Fatty Fish Bar a few days ago.

At first, he came alone every night, reserving a booth to drink by himself.

Because he was generous with money and had a ruggedly handsome appearance, many girls would approach him to chat, drink his booze, and hang around his booth.

And he never turned them away, lavishly treating all the girls who came up to him.

This also meant that every night, he successfully took one or two girls away from the bar.

Many of these girls were part of the bar atmosphere group nurtured by the owner of Fatty Fish Bar, and so they were also somewhat intimate with Fatty Fish normally.

According to the information that Fatty Fish gathered from them, the Suit Man lived in a small villa near Longshan Road, commuted in a private car, and had several good-looking and gentle-tempered maids at home, which suggested that he was no ordinary man.

When he was with these girls, although Suit Man's behavior could be slightly violent and his actions a bit rough, on the whole, he seemed normal—after all, in times of chaos, people's violent genes are naturally unlocked.

The only thing that could be considered odd was that, just in the past two nights, Suit Man not only invited girls to drink but also... started inviting men to drink.

He would pick out 'young masters' in the bar who clearly came from noble families but lived dissolute lives to make a move on and actively befriend them over drinks.

And last night, he had even taken away one such young master...

Since Fatty Fish didn't have much of a personal connection with these young masters, he wasn't clear on what the Suit Man talked about with them.

When asking the girls who sat with them to drink, they also had no recollection, mentioning only that Suit Man seemed to hit it off with those young masters, arm in arm, as if they had been fast friends...

After understanding all the intelligence provided by Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu pondered for a long time.

He was deciding whether to just apprehend Suit Man and Wang Xi now and temporarily close the "8.16 Pharmacy Robbery Case."

Or... should he continue to follow this lead and first probe the depths of that Evil God.

Eventually, after weighing his options, he chose the latter.

It wasn't that he was truly curious about the Evil God or that he harbored the ambition to save the world. He simply came to a clear realization: "when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."

If the Evil God had already silently descended upon Xinjie City and begun to quietly expand his influence there, then even if Qiu Tu were to pretend to be an ostrich and ignore this matter... sooner or later, the Evil God would have an impact on him.

When the Evil God accumulated enough power and was truly ready to make a move on Xinjie City, as a resident of Xinjie City and as a division head of the Investigation Bureau, Qiu Tu would inevitably have to face the Evil God!

Especially since the Evil God seemed to be somewhat "petty-minded." Just because Qiu Tu made Wang Xi a little nervous, she immediately took notice of him.

If Qiu Tu were to capture her two followers, she would probably be even less inclined to let him off.

So, after much consideration, Qiu Tu found that a reconciliation with Larilo was probably impossible.

Since... a showdown was inevitable, it would be better to strike while the enemy was still weak, rather than waiting for them to grow strong before acting!

Moreover... Qiu Tu always harbored a slightly impractical idea.

That is... if the enemy of my enemy is my friend, could his two enemies possibly become each other's enemies?

"Drive the wolf to devour the tiger" might not be such a bad strategy after all?

Thus, due to this series of considerations, Qiu Tu decided not to arrest Suit Man for the time being.

Instead, he would disguise himself as a young master and fish for Suit Man in the bar to see what he... and his "God" were up to...

.....

The dazzling LED walls and unpredictable spinning spotlights sliced the Fatty Fish Bar into a series of bizarre scenes.

Combined with the aroma of alcohol, scents, and tobacco, along with the fizz of champagne and the smell of cheap perfume, it was like the people in the bar were transported into a dream kingdom far removed from reality.

Qiu Tu had an arm around each of the skimpily dressed girls, casually resting his leg atop another and smoking a cigar, all the while watching the seductively dancing woman before him with a beaming smile.

They twisted their waists like snakes, with captivating glances, blooming like enchanting flowers in the dark night, each move quickening the heartbeat of men.

As a hunter, Qiu Tu had always been patient. He wasn't focusing on his target at all, immersively engaging in various interactions with the girls as if he were genuinely seeking pleasure.

Such professional attitude and exquisite acting not only earned the admiration of Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, who were guarding him, but even the officers from the Security Department watching Qiu Tu's actions in the bar's surveillance room were somewhat surprised.

"Is this the legendary Qiu Tu who solved the Yin Caimei case?"

"He's so convincing. It looks like he's really getting into it. Not a single flaw to be seen. It seems the target will be hooked soon."

Hearing the comments of the few officers, Lin Zuo, who came on duty tonight, glanced at them expressionlessly, then fixed his eyes on the monitor, his face betraying a hint of hesitation...

Frankly, he had the impression that Qiu Tu wasn't just acting...
