Why did the police chief want to talk to Corrie?

Mrs. Beukers, tells them that their singing can be heard through the streets. It seems that most of Haarlem knows about the ten Boom’s activities, including the chief of police. In January, Corrie receives a summons from the police telling her to come in. With a prison bag in tow, Corrie does not know whether this means her arrest. However, the chief sympathizes with her efforts and asks if she knows someone who can have a Gestapo spy in the department killed. When she replies that her calling is to save lives rather than end them, the chief admits that it was wrong to ask her. When Corrie returns home, she conceals the last part of the meeting, because it would hurt Father and Betsie too much to know what they had been asked to do.
