Chapter 85: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole
But she did not return to the military hospital, but went to the military district to find Yan Li'an.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Yan Li'an's office, Xiao Zheng noticed her and asked, "Madam, are you here to see the deputy commander?"
Looking closely, there was a hint of gossip in Xiao Zheng's eyes.
"Well, it's almost time for dinner, so I came over to ask him if he wanted to go out for a bite."
"Then you can just go in directly. The deputy commander is not busy now."
After Xiao Zheng left, Su Jinhui opened the door and said, "Deputy Captain!"
Yan Li'an's brows were furrowed, but they instantly relaxed when he heard Su Jinhui's voice. He looked at Su Jinhui in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Of course there is important information that needs to be reported to the deputy commander."
Su Jinhui leaned her hands on his desk, and she had an air of authority about her. She didn't look like a doctor in the military district, but more like a female soldier.
"I thought someone came to see me specially, but after all this time, it's all about work. I'm almost training you, a doctor, to be a soldier in the military district."
Su Jinhui smiled faintly, pulled out a chair and sat across from Yan Li'an, "Forget it, I don't have the brains to kill the enemy, but I'm happy to heal the sick and save lives."
She put away the smile on her face and started to be serious.
"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. I just went to the logistics department and found that Mr. Zhou has been coming in and out frequently in recent days. He must be trying to get information from the logistics department."
"I asked the soldiers in the logistics department and got an important piece of information. Mr. Zhou, disguised as a patriotic businessman, kept sending supplies to these logistics soldiers. In fact, he just wanted to obtain the army's deployment map."
"These enemy spies really haven't given up. If that's the case, what are you going to do?"
After hearing this, Yan Li'an's face was not surprised at all. "Coincidentally, I recently found out that he did have this idea. But whether he is a spy sent by the enemy or not, as long as there is one thing, it can be proved true or not, and it can kill two birds with one stone."
Su Jinhui looked at Yan Li'an in confusion, until he took out a troop deployment map from the drawer, and then she suddenly understood.
"You mean, you want to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"This defense map is fake!"
Yan Li'an nodded and looked at Su Jinhui with admiration. It was indeed comfortable to deal with smart people. They basically understood everything immediately and didn't need her to say anything more.
"Yes, if he is really a spy sent by the enemy, then he must be very eager to obtain this defense map."
"So he will definitely take action, and then I will be able to catch him in one fell swoop."
"As long as he does this, I can catch him. The purpose of doing this is not only to catch the spy sent by the enemy, but also to expose his true face as a so-called patriotic student."
Before, Su Jinhui always thought that Yan Li'an was the kind of person who could only go into battle and kill enemies, but she didn't expect that he could also play psychological games so smoothly.
"I'm already looking forward to these people showing off their true colors."
When Mr. Zhou came to the logistics department again to inquire about the news, Su Jinhui was there too.
However, Mr. Zhou arrived a little late. He listened to the conversation between Su Jinhui and the soldiers.
"I heard that someone carelessly put the new army deployment map in the office yesterday and even stained it. The regiment commander was very angry because my husband was in charge of this bad map. As a result, the entire army under his supervision was punished and everyone was fined."
"As his wife, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know this incident would lead to such serious consequences."
Su Jinhui's face showed deep apology.
"Doctor Su, please don't say that."
"None of us intends to blame the deputy commander. Besides, it's the fault of the subordinates who messed up such an important defense map. They deserve the punishment. Besides, we brothers don't need to think too much about it. We always share the punishment."
Su Jinhui nodded, "I feel better knowing that you guys think so."
When she turned around, she saw Mr. Zhou appear behind her. Su Jinhui was very surprised. "Mr. Zhou, why are you so secretive and silent? I thought there was no one around."
"I just arrived a moment ago, and I saw you talking to someone, so I didn't want to interrupt you. But I just heard you say that the defense map in the deputy commander's office was soiled by someone. Did anything go wrong?"
"No, the deployment map was made of kraft paper, a relatively stiff material. Fortunately, it was only stained and not damaged. Otherwise, the people my husband manages would definitely be punished more severely."
Su Jinhui said with great regret, "Then I'll leave first. I still have things to do in the hospital."
After she left, an intriguing expression flashed across Mr. Zhou's face. "Mr. Zhou, are you here to deliver supplies today as well?"
the soldier inquired.
"I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything today, but if you need anything, just tell me and I can have someone deliver it in a couple of days."
"No, no, we don't need anything right now, so you don't need to bring any more. The higher-ups have been pretty strict lately, and while we know you mean well, if the higher-ups find out, they'll inevitably think our logistics department is dealing with businessmen like you. That would be terrible if they found out."
Mr. Zhou nodded strangely. "I see. That's okay. I'll send it to you after this period is over."
"By the way, I want to talk to your deputy leader about something. Do you know where his office is?"
Ten minutes later, Mr. Zhou appeared at the door of Yan Li'an's office.
He knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Xiao Zheng arrived at the door and looked at Mr. Zhou curiously. "Hello, are you looking for our deputy head?"
Mr. Zhou feigned composure and nodded, "Yes, I'm looking for your deputy group leader. I don't know if he's in the office. I have something I'd like to discuss with him."
"Our deputy head has gone out to eat with his wife. I'm afraid they'll be back for a while. Why don't you go wait in the office for a while? I estimate he should be back in half an hour."
Xiao Zheng opened the door of the office and saw Mr. Zhou looking excited. He himself had not expected things to go so smoothly.
"Okay, then I'll go in and wait for him."
As soon as the office door was closed, Mr. Zhou immediately locked it and hurriedly searched the office for the whereabouts of the defense map.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find it in any of the drawers on the desk. Just when he was at a loss, a special file bag on the bookshelf caught his attention.
Mr. Zhou opened the file bag and found inside the military deployment map that he had always wanted to find.
He calmly put the file bag back to its place, but the things inside had already fallen into his pocket.
