Chapter 122 Are you worthy of your identity?
Su Tang leaned in Lu Xiao's arms and looked up at him: "So how much have you found out now? What do you need me to do?"
Lu Xiao held her hand and placed it on his cheek, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"We've identified the driver. It's Lao Zhou, another veteran of this camp. He's been with my boss for five years. He seems like a simple, honest guy, but last month he suddenly built a brick house for his family."
"yes……"
Su Tang frowned, and the name circled around his lips, but he didn't say it out loud.
Lu Xiao is the deputy, so it goes without saying who his superior is. Su Tang knows his surname is Zhao.
"I think I've seen his wife in the hospital. She's been coming here to get blood pressure medication lately, and every time she complains that her husband is too busy to come home."
"That's him."
A cold light flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
"The last batch of supplies we intercepted included three boxes of penicillin. He wanted to seize half of them under the pretext of taking inventory, but I refused on the spot."
This is an important thing, Lu Xiao certainly won't let anyone take it away.
But I didn't expect that he still had such evil intentions.
For the sake of money, people are willing to take risks and do such things.
Does he deserve the clothes he wears and his status?
Su Tang's heart skipped a beat: "Does he have a brother-in-law named Liu Er?"
Lu Xiao nodded in surprise: "How do you know?"
"The original book mentioned it, saying that person is the best at forging delivery orders."
Su Tang turned over and sat up, putting all the fatigue from pregnancy behind her.
"We need to check the warehouse's in and out records, especially around the 15th of last month."
Fortunately, Lu Xiao was not unknown in the book, so Su Tang was able to remember these things.
During this period, Su Tang has been constantly reviewing everything related to Lu Xiao.
She was just afraid that she didn't remember the details clearly enough, and that if something happened in the future, she wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Fortunately, the review during this period gave her a clear enough idea.
The next morning, Lu Xiao and Su Tang went to the warehouse on the pretext of something.
The custodian and Lu Xiao were good friends before. When he saw Lu Xiao, his eyes turned red and he even used the same name as before.
"Captain Lu, don't worry, I've recorded every single detail in this account book!"
Lu Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder, and sure enough, he found the clue on page 15.
The warehouse delivery record was altered with rice soup. When holding it up to the sun, one could see the words "medical team received it" had been changed to "destruction".
"Sure enough, these people are vermin!"
Lu Xiao said in a cold voice.
As he was speaking, there was a commotion outside the courtyard gate.
Su Tang supported her waist and slowly stood up, and Lu Xiao subconsciously protected her behind him.
A burly woman stood at the doorway, her hands on her hips, spitting everywhere: "Su Tang, you vicious woman! You didn't want to join the army, but you reported Lu Xiao, causing our Lao Zhao to be investigated. I will fight you!"
Lu Xiao was about to explode but was stopped by Su Tang.
She took a half step forward and said in a clear voice, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. My Lu Xiao has something to ask you. Did your Liu Er send two boxes of medicine to the black market the day before yesterday?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the woman's head, making her speechless instantly.
The family members who were watching the excitement around were in an uproar and started talking at once.
"You, stop spreading rumors here! There's nothing happening at all!"
Mrs. Zhao's face instantly turned the color of liver. She avoided looking at Su Tang directly, but she still insisted, "You...you are slandering me! How could my brother do such an illegal thing!"
Su Tang smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Breaking the law? Sister-in-law, that's a serious matter. I just heard that someone saw a familiar figure carrying a wooden box at the black market a few days ago. Isn't the alleyway leading to the back door of that shop the same alleyway where you often play mahjong?"
"Oh, maybe I'm mistaken, but I think your brother walks with a shifty look in his eyes, so I shouldn't mistake him."
She paused deliberately, her eyes sweeping over the growing crowd around her, her voice reaching everyone's ears.
"Besides, if they forged the delivery note, seized the penicillin, and then resold it on the black market for huge profits, it wouldn't be a simple investigation that could resolve it, right?"
"Sister-in-law, instead of cursing here, you should go back and ask your brother."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Mrs. Zhao's voice suddenly became sharp, revealing obvious panic.
Even if she didn't know much about these things, she knew a thing or two.
"That medicine... came from a legitimate channel!"
"Oh? Formal channels?"
Lu Xiao took a step forward, his figure carrying an imposing aura.
He protected Su Tang behind him like a mountain, preventing anyone from hurting Su Tang.
"That's perfect. We just looked at the warehouse account books. Sister Zhao, why don't you tell me which formal channel this is?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding discussions instantly became louder.
Everyone knows how precious penicillin is in this era.
Withholding this life-saving medicine and selling it on the black market is simply unscrupulous.
Mrs. Zhao looked around, her calves trembling. Her previous arrogance was gone, and she could only repeat over and over again: "I don't know... I don't know anything..."
Su Tang gently pulled at the corner of Lu Xiao's clothes, signaling him to stop.
There are so many people around nowadays, so some things should not be said clearly.
Lu Xiao understood and snorted coldly: "Since Sister Zhao doesn't know, please go back. Once we have investigated the matter thoroughly, we will naturally give everyone an explanation."
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but shout, "Captain Lu, we can't just let this go! Penicillin can save lives!"
"Yes! We must get to the bottom of this!"
"Maybe the last time my man was injured, it was because of a lack of medicine that treatment was delayed!"
The voices of condemnation kept coming one after another. Mrs. Zhao had no way to refute them for a moment, so she covered her face and squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
Lu Xiao comforted everyone with a few words and took Su Tang back to the house.
As soon as he closed the door, Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now, otherwise I would have been entangled by her."
Lu Xiao held her hand, with fear in his eyes: "It was too dangerous just now, you shouldn't have rushed forward."
"I'm fine."
"And I'm certain she doesn't know the details and is just trying to divert attention by making a scene. Now it seems Liu Er is indeed involved, and... I'm afraid he's also implicated."
Lu Xiao nodded: "I have asked someone to keep an eye on Liu Er, and I think there will be news soon."
At this time, Lu Xiao's comrades hurried over and saluted: "Captain Lu, I confessed. Lao Zhou also confessed everything, and even implicated three doctors who resold medical equipment!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded.
"Let's go and take a look."
Finally, the mastermind behind this was found.
"Tangtang, go home and tell your parents first, tell them not to worry and be obedient."
Just as Lu Xiao was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Su Tang.
"Okay, don't worry, I can go back by myself. Go home early."
