"Does your hand hurt today?" After dinner, Huo Ci kept looking at Jiang Yushan's wrist on the way home with her.

He did manage to grab a meal in the third canteen at noon today, but he could feel that the canteen had prepared more food today than yesterday, and Jiang Yushan would only have a harder time.

She has been rubbing her wrists these past two nights.

"I've gradually gotten used to it, and now I feel much better." Jiang Yushan smiled and shook his head. After getting used to it, he felt that his hands didn't hurt as much.

After a few more days of doing this, she would probably become an expert and completely adapt to the job.

"By the way, how is your investigation going? When will those cooks be able to come back?" Jiang Yushan asked as he walked, as if he remembered something.

She has been the head chef in the third canteen for several days. With such a long time, the investigation should be almost complete.

"We have some clues. The matter behind this is quite complicated. The food poisoning may involve enemy spies." Huo Ci said. He had no intention of hiding these things from Jiang Yushan.

"Enemy spy?" Jiang Yushan didn't expect to hear this word from Huo Ci, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

The enemy's spies actually sneaked into the army and poisoned the cafeteria?

This matter is no small matter, it can even be said to be very serious. After all, if the army is infiltrated, it would be a very dangerous thing.

"Yes, because of this, the army must conduct a thorough investigation, and the cook cannot be released yet." Huo Ci nodded, looking at Jiang Yushan with distressed eyes: "I will have to trouble you in the Third Canteen recently, and you will probably have to work hard for a few days."

"It's okay. We've gotten used to it. It's okay if it's hard." Jiang Yushan felt that cooking was okay.

As the chef, Jiang Yushan felt happy and satisfied seeing that the soldiers liked her dishes so much.

The investigation of food poisoning is quite troublesome, and it actually involves enemy spies. How did they put poison in the food?

The troops have special channels for supplying food, and the three canteens all supply the same food, so there should be no possibility of something going wrong in a single kitchen.

Unless the third canteen added some ingredients themselves.

"Seafood?" Jiang Yushan pondered, and suddenly remembered something, and turned his head abruptly to look at Huo Ci.

They went to the sea to pick up seafood themselves today. It is possible that the people who came to the third canteen added some ingredients that were not delivered to them. If anything went wrong, it could only be here.

"When we went to the sea this morning, a man who claimed to be a fisherman asked us if we were catching seafood for the army. He said he could supply us. I felt that he was a bit strange, and his skin was quite white. He didn't look like a fisherman who went out to sea all year round." Jiang Yushan told Huo Ci what happened in the morning.

Although she had no evidence, after hearing Huo Ci talking about enemy spies, she suddenly thought of the man she met while fishing, and she felt something was wrong.

Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, it never goes wrong to be more careful.

She told Huo Ci all the points she thought were problematic, and explained them in great detail.

"There are other fishermen on the beach, but they are all busy with their own things and have no time to talk to us. But although that man brought some seafood, he acted as if nothing had happened," said Jiang Yushan.

Although Huo Ci didn't see the person and didn't know the specific situation, he couldn't help but feel strange when he heard Jiang Yushan's description.

The wives of soldiers living in the family compound often go to the beach to catch seafood, but they have never encountered a situation like this where they were approached by fishermen.

Moreover, the other party could guess that the wives of the soldiers were supplying goods to the army canteen, which was also quite strange, as if they knew their purpose in going there in advance.

"Come back with me. This matter must be reported." Huo Ci thought about it and made a decision.

It is better to make a mistake than to let it go easily. Since there is something wrong, it must be investigated thoroughly.

"Okay." Jiang Yushan nodded, thinking that if this matter really involved enemy spies, it would be better to deal with it early.

The two men quickly returned to the army and came to Huo Qingrong's office. He had not returned yet. When he heard about the situation, he quickly called Commander Nie Jian and Political Commissar Lin Jianjun to come for a meeting.

"Those enemy spies just like to do such despicable things. If you have the guts, just fight them directly!" After hearing this, Nie Jian immediately started cursing, feeling extremely annoyed with these enemy spies.

He was cursing and seemed to have a bad temper, but Huo Qingrong next to him was also cursing, holding a grudge against the poisoning incident.

"Since this matter was discovered by my wife, I request that I be the one to catch this person!" Huo Ci only wanted to catch the person at this time, believing that only by bringing the person back and interrogating him could he get the result.

However, since he had just returned, he was not responsible for the poisoning, so he could only volunteer to arrest people.

"Okay, I'm confident in leaving this matter to you." Nie Jian was very confident in Huo Ci's abilities and agreed immediately without any hesitation.

He now also wanted to see what the enemy spy who was doing evil things in secret looked like.

"We haven't seen the person yet. Yushan, can you describe the person's appearance or at least draw a portrait first to avoid arresting the wrong person." Although Huo Qingrong was angry, his thoughts were still online at this moment.

"But if we go to capture someone directly, the other party will definitely be on guard and will probably run away the moment they see us. If we can catch them, it'll be fine. If we can't, we'll alert the enemy. The enemy is in the dark, and we'll be in a passive position." Lin Jianjun also analyzed on the side.

It is inappropriate to rush directly to the beach to catch someone. Not only is it difficult to deploy defenses in advance at the beach, but the other party will definitely be very defensive and may be scared away at the slightest disturbance.

Huo Ci also stood there with a frown on his face, knowing that arresting people directly wouldn't work, and that he would have to think of other ways.

"I think, how about I be the bait? That person met us today. Doesn't he want to supply us with goods? Although we rejected him today, we also said that we would consider his goods. If I talk to him about cooperation and lure him to the vicinity of the army, can I lower his vigilance?" Jiang Yushan, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but suggest.

She was the one who found the person, and with her there to identify him, there was no need to worry about catching the wrong person.

Moreover, by luring the other party with cooperation, he thought that when the plan was successful, they would naturally relax their vigilance a little.

If we bring them near the troops, it will be convenient to set up an ambush in advance, and we won’t have to worry about the enemy escaping from the empty seaside.

"This is a good idea. I think it's feasible!" Nie Jian listened and looked at Jiang Yushan. He agreed with it very much, and even looked at her with more appreciation.
