Chapter 206: Big Brother in Trouble 2_1
"The first suspect with the highest suspicion is from the Southern Border, his name is Ba Daqin, a captain like myself, also competing for the promotion to the rank of major this time. We usually have a good relationship, and if you hadn’t mentioned that I might run into trouble—or listed those screening criteria—I would never have thought of suspecting him."
"The second suspect is named Du Aiguo, from Western Sichuan, also a competitor for this major promotion, and we usually get along fairly well."
"The third suspect is Dongguo Tianlei, from Dragon Tiger Mountain, likewise a contender for the major promotion this time, and our relationship is also quite good on normal days."
Shen Tianxing nodded, the birthplaces of these three indeed had many marvelous legends, and combined with the competitive relationship with his second brother, they had the motive and purpose to take action.
Shen Tianxing then asked him, "Second Brother, do you have their photographs?"
"Photographs?"
Shen Tianzhi shook his head, "No, as you know, us soldiers don’t get much time to go out and have fun, and we’re not fond of taking pictures, so I don’t have any photo albums or anything like that."
Shen Tianxing thought for a moment and then said to him, "Then could you find some excuse to gather the three of them together? For instance, you could say that your sister, me, has come and brought a lot of delicious food and invite them to lunch together at noon. Of course, if you’re worried they might be suspicious, you could invite two or three more people. I’ll cook lunch for you all."
When Shen Tianzhi heard Shen Tianxing mention cooking, he thought of the flavors he had long missed, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "That’s a good reason indeed, I’ll go tell them right now and let them come here for lunch."
Shen Tianxing didn’t miss the anticipation in his eyes and couldn’t help but smile, "Second Brother, then hurry up and inform them. I’ll start preparing now; there should be enough time."
