Let them show their loyalty!

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Ding Xiaoliu saluted again, "Yes!"

Then he turned and left, and began to go to the second floor to "report the good news".

As he left, soon, the entire Exploration Bureau knew that Zheng Tao still hadn't interrogated any results in the second hour!

In fact, this still didn't attract everyone's attention.

After all, two hours and one hour are similar. It's normal not to get any results when they just started to use some interrogation methods.

And some bigwigs who are paying attention to the progress of this matter have similar attitudes

Organization Department, Minister's Office.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Shi Youxin, one of the nine senior officials of the Exploration Bureau and the Minister of the Organization Department, nodded with a smile.

Shi Youxin is a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was Yan Chen's old colleague in the [Officer School]. Later, when Yan Chen became rich, he resigned and joined Yan Chen. He has been working under Yan Chen. He is one of Yan Chen's important confidants and an important helper for Yan Chen to control the personnel power of the entire Exploration Bureau.

Zheng Tao's promotion this time was partly his work.

Therefore, today, when Qiu Tu and Zheng Tao started to quarrel, he ordered people to keep an eye on them.

When he knew that Zheng Tao had not come out of the interrogation room for the second hour, he smiled and picked up his tea cup with wolfberry and deer antler, took a sip, and then said nonchalantly,

"Don't worry. Zheng Tao's ability is obvious to all."

"In the entire investigation department, except for Jia Shu, his interrogation method is the most sophisticated."

"If he can't solve this case, then I guess no one can solve it."

"And" Shi Youxin glanced at the clock, "It's only 11 o'clock now. There are still 7 hours until 6 pm."

"Do you know what 7 hours means to an interrogation expert?"

"It means that he can torture the suspect to the point that he can even tell the color of his wife's underwear!"

While talking, Shi Youxin poured a few wolfberries into his mouth, and finally concluded, "Seven hours, how can Zheng Tao lose?"

"Qiu Tu really underestimated the heroes of the world this time."

Special Service Department. Minister's Office

Lin Ting, one of the nine top officials of the Investigation Bureau and the head of the Special Service Department, who had come forward to help Qiu Tu.

Facing the report from his subordinates, he smiled and shook his head, "I thought Qiu Tu was a very smart person before."

"I didn't expect that he would be so confused this time."

"So, don't worry. We have the advantage."

Among these top officials, the only one with a slightly different attitude might be Yan Chen

The office of the director of the Investigation Bureau.

Yan Chen sat in the dim office, smoking and signing documents while listening to Ji Chen's report.

Ji Chen was obviously gloating, and his voice was relaxed and happy when he reported.

However, he didn't notice that Yan Chen's expression was getting less and less as he reported.

Soon, when Ji Chen finished his report, Yan Chen slowly stopped writing.

He looked at Ji Chen with a gloomy face, and then slowly said, "Ji Chen, do you think Qiu Tu will lose this bet?"

Hearing Yan Chen's words, Ji Chen was obviously stunned. Then he said hesitantly, "But Director Zheng is a famous interrogation expert."

"With 9 hours of interrogation, it is impossible to fail."

Yan Chen squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette, then asked seriously, "Since even you know such a simple truth, why doesn't Qiu Tu know it?"

Yan Chen's words may be too direct, and Ji Chen's face turned red and white.

After all, Yan Chen was just short of pointing at his nose and scolding him, saying that he was not as good as Qiu Tu.

But in front of Yan Chen, Ji Chen did not dare to refute, so he could only put away his smile and admit his mistake in a low voice, "The director is right."

"Humph." Yan Chen snorted heavily from his nose, and then commented, "Qiu Tu is not the kind of person who easily loses his mind. Since he dares to make this bet, it means that there must be something inside about this matter."

"Zheng Tao was still calculated by him."

At this point, he waved his hand a little bored for a while, "Forget it. Anyway, his position has been blocked."

"Even if Zheng Tao is embarrassed again, this position is impossible to give up."

"You go down. Report back when you have news."

After that, he picked up the pen and signed the document again.

Hearing Yan Chen's words, Ji Chen saluted quickly, then turned and left Yan Chen's office.

However, from the unconvinced expression on his face when he turned his back to Yan Chen, he obviously did not agree with Yan Chen's point of view

12 o'clock, the third hour after the bet was established

Since the door of the interrogation room was not opened, it was obvious that Zheng Tao did not break through Javi's psychological defense.

13 o'clock, the fourth hour after the bet was established.

Zheng Tao and others did not even come out for lunch, but were racing against time to conduct the interrogation.

However, even if they tried so hard. But there was obviously not much progress. Because the door of the interrogation room was still not opened.

14 o'clock, 15 o'clock, 16 o'clock.

At this time, 7 hours had passed since the bet was established. There was still no sign of the door of the interrogation room opening.

Instead, the agents of the interrogation department did not know what order they received and brought more drugs and interrogation tools.

However, it was obvious that these drugs and interrogation tools did not have much effect. Javi still showed no sign of speaking.

At this time, the wind direction of the entire Exploration Agency finally changed.

Those who had been supporting Zheng Tao were now a little unsure.

After all, 7 hours is a long time for an interrogation that can use various drugs and punishment props.

At this point, almost all the drugs that can be used have been used up, and all the punishments that can be used should have been used up.

Now the detectives who are watching the show are not worried about whether the interrogation will have any results, but whether the important prisoner will be tortured to death. At this time, the wind direction of the entire investigation department on this gamble began to change.

The detectives who originally supported Zheng Tao turned their backs and began to support Qiu Tu.

Only a small number of detectives who always believed in Zheng Tao's ability are still "persisting hard".

The reputation of Qiu Tu and Zheng Tao among the detectives began to turn 180 degrees.

The detectives who originally mocked Qiu Tu's "high self-esteem" have now begun to mock Zheng Tao for "stealing credit", and they have not succeeded in stealing it.

However, for the lower-level detectives, this gamble may just be a pastime after dinner.

But for those section chiefs and directors who know more inside information, the meaning of this matter is completely different.

——If they had doubted before whether this bet was a trap. Then they no longer had any doubts in their hearts.

Combined with Qiu Tu's previous deeds, they knew that Qiu Tu must have calculated everything long ago, so he dared to make a public bet with Zheng Tao.

Zheng Tao was forced into a desperate situation and had to answer the bet. As a result, he is likely to lose face in front of the whole agency.

When people talk about Zheng Tao in the future, they will probably not remember his label as an interrogation expert, but will only remember Zheng Tao's deeds of "stealing credit but failing to steal it".

Such deeds will make a label of "being addicted to being a weakling" accompany him for many years.

Whether it is his prestige among his subordinates or his image above, it will have a huge impact.

It can be said that his future is ruined!

And Qiu Tu used Zheng Tao's end to warn all the middle-level managers who have ill intentions against him or want to rely on him to please the top management - you can come to touch porcelain, but be prepared to be crushed to death!

Such a discovery also made more section chiefs and department heads feel a chill in their hearts, and rethink their relationship with Qiu Tu.

In this way, time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, it was 5 pm.

This time, Qiu Tu didn't even use Ding Xiaoliu to report, and brought his confidants to the door of the interrogation room in a mighty manner, waiting patiently.

Such a domineering move also attracted a lot of onlookers.

Everyone was waiting for the result of the last hour. Want to know who won this bet!

5:10; 5:20; 5:40; 5:50.

Just as time was approaching 18:00.

More and more agents gathered outside the interrogation room.

At this time, at the door of the interrogation room, two of Zheng Tao's confidants were sweating profusely.

The tension of time approaching made them almost dare not breathe. They looked back at the interrogation room several times, hoping for a miracle in the last 10 minutes.

But how could a miracle happen casually? If it can happen casually, it is not a miracle!

So, until the hour hand slowly pointed to the scale of "6", the door of the interrogation room was not opened.

At this time, the detectives watching outside began to whisper.

Obviously, everyone knew that the bet was settled: Zheng Tao, such an expert in interrogation, tried his best, but he really couldn't get the truth of the case from the suspect in 9 hours.

This shocked everyone and made them think about why such a thing happened.

Is Zheng Tao's ability not good enough?

Is there something else hidden in this case?

Or is Zheng Tao really an accomplice of the suspect?

Just when everyone was speculating, the door of the interrogation room slowly opened.

Zheng Tao, covered in blood, walked out slowly from inside with a depressed look.

During these few hours, he was obviously under great pressure, his hair was messy, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

If they didn't know that he was interrogating, they would probably think that he had been up for two or three nights.

And coupled with his blood-stained clothes and hands, it is obvious that he really used all the means he could use in these 9 hours.

He really lost the bet!

Seeing this scene, Qiu Tu tilted his head and glanced at the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Javi had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, and there was almost no intact place on his body.

But maybe as a second-level Catastrophist, he was just tough. Even at this time, he could still grin and laugh. Then he greeted all the female elders in Zheng Tao's family.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Tu finally stopped restraining his edge, and he started to beat the dog when it was down!

"Haha, this is the interrogation master from the Political Department, the former head of the interrogation department?"

"It's really embarrassing for our Political Department!"

"I fed all the credit to your mouth, and you couldn't eat it. In the end, you are too useless, or... you are really too useless!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's unceremonious ridicule, Zheng Tao tightened his hands.

He wanted to refute it, but the cruelest thing in this world is that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. As a person who lost the bet, he had no face to refute Qiu Tu.

So he could only look gloomy and whisper, "You win."

"I'll leave the prisoner to you. I won't interfere in the case anymore."

Hearing Zheng Tao admit his failure, the scene was completely silent.

Everyone knew that Zheng Tao had completely failed this time.

He had just been promoted to deputy director, and it was obviously the time when his influence and prestige were the highest, but he was instigated by the person behind the scenes to steal the credit.

If he succeeded, it would be fine. Now that he failed to steal, and was publicly executed by Qiu Tu, he simply became a clown.

For a moment, the onlookers even sighed a little: No one expected that Zheng Tao, who was envied by everyone this morning, would be trampled into the mud in just a few hours, like a stray dog.

As a result, just when the agents were sighing about this gambling game, Qiu Tu spoke again.

"Director Zheng, please stay."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao stopped and looked back at him with a little confusion.

As a result, he found that Qiu Tu showed him a bright smile.

But no matter how you look at that smile, it is full of blood!

It's like the smile of a giant beast when it is about to choose a person to devour.
