He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"I've thought about it, and it doesn't seem like you have enough space to hide the large items I lost. Since you don't even have a small bag, the possibility of stealing my things is very small."

Zhang Beixing was both surprised and helpless about the foreign friend's way of thinking. Since the misunderstanding had been resolved, he did not want to dwell on it any more and declined the gift of the bag. However, the foreign friend was extremely persistent, as if he could not express his apology without the bag.

"I am deeply sorry for the previous misunderstanding. This bag is both a compensation for your lack of available bags and my apology to you." The foreign friend said sincerely.

Seeing the other party's persistence, Zhang Beixing stopped refusing. He thought, just accept the bag for now, and if he doesn't like it in the future, it won't be too late to buy another one. So he nodded and accepted this unexpected gift.

At this moment, Zhang Beixing's heart was moved. He asked curiously, "What exactly did you lose? Can you tell me something? Maybe I can help you find it."

The foreign friend had no time to pay attention to his question. He turned back to his car, picked out a bag from the numerous luggages, and handed it to Zhang Beixing.

"This bag was given to me by a neighbor of my sister's friend. I think its color is very suitable for people from Kyushu Empire, so I brought it with me when I came." The foreign friend explained, "Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Steven and I'm an engineer."

Then Steven asked, "Since I've introduced myself, should you also tell me your name? We should respect each other, right?"

Zhang Beixing felt that this foreign friend was both interesting and familiar, and was completely different from the foreigners he had met before. When introducing his profession, he hesitated for a moment. Considering the particularity of his profession and the other party's identity as a foreigner, he finally chose to conceal it.

"My name is Zhang Beixing. Currently... I'm an unemployed vagrant." He said with a smile.

"Vagrant?" Steven was very interested in this new word. "What kind of job is this? I have never heard of it. Is it unique to the Kyushu Empire?"

Zhang Beixing laughed and explained, "Vagabond is not a profession. It just refers to people who don't have a fixed job and are free and idle."

Steven suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I was unemployed for a while, and I was really free."

Zhang Beixing became more and more curious about Steven, so he mentioned the mysterious confidential document again. Steven obviously didn't expect that he would still be entangled in this issue, but considering that he had misunderstood the other party because of this document, he also felt it necessary to explain.

"Since I have told you that this is a confidential document, I naturally cannot disclose the details easily. Once leaked, the value of this document will be greatly reduced, and it may even become waste paper." Steven explained.

Zhang Beixing expressed his understanding and asked if he could provide any help. Although he had only known Steven for a short time, he felt that this foreign friend was quite interesting and sincere. Steven's anxiety and tension were understandable after losing important documents on the train. Zhang Beixing decided that if he could help, he would do his best.

However, Steven himself was at a loss as to the whereabouts of the document. They could only wait for the arrival of the conductor, hoping to find some clues. But time passed, and the conductor did not show up.

Zhang Beixing was anxious. Did the conductor run into trouble? Should he call to urge them? Just as he was hesitating, Steven called him again.

"I saw a person in front of me, and what he was holding seemed to be my documents. But I'm not sure, and I don't want to wrongly accuse a good person. After all, I don't have any extra bags to give away now." Steven said.

Zhang Beixing heard this and immediately stopped looking for the conductor. If what Steven said was true, then they could check the man's package now and perhaps find the lost documents. Thinking of this, he quickly walked forward, ready to find out.

However, before they reached their destination, Steven's face suddenly changed. He hurriedly grabbed a passenger next to him and said anxiously, "That bag looks more like mine. The man just now seemed to have put my bag with him. Let's go and take a look."

Although Zhang Beixing did not fully understand the reason, they were walking towards the man at the entrance of the carriage, but halfway, Steven suddenly stopped.

He pointed to a man standing next to him and claimed that his bag was hidden under the seat next to him.

Zhang Beixing looked in the direction of Steven's finger. The man looked to be around 40 or 50 years old, with all kinds of colorful plastic bags piled up beside him.

Although I don't know why, judging from the man's attire and the items around him, he seemed to be returning home after working outside.

Zhang Beixing carefully looked at the plastic bags under his feet again. There were so many of them, in different sizes, stacked up in layers.

If Steven's bag was really hidden under these plastic bags, it would certainly take a lot of time to find it.

But since the trace of the bag had been found, Zhang Beixing decided to stay and help Steven look for it.

However, the uncle was fast asleep at the moment, and there were so many packages under his feet. If he wanted to check whether Steven's bag was under his seat, he would have to be woken up.

Zhang Beixing was a bit troubled for a moment. If the uncle was resting, it would be rude to wake him up hastily. Besides, the uncle looked exhausted and had finally gotten a rest.

Zhang Beixing weighed the pros and cons and decided that Steven's bag was more important, so he wondered if he could take the bag out without disturbing the old man.

But this would require him to squeeze into the crowded aisle, which was now full of people, many of whom were standing.

If you want to pass through it, it will definitely be troublesome and you will have to keep asking people to give way.

However, they had no choice but to try.

As long as I can get Steven's bag out from under the uncle's seat, all the trouble is worth it.

At this moment, the train suddenly jolted, Steven lost his balance and fell towards Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing suddenly had an idea. He dodged to the side and gently hooked the bag out from under the seat with his foot.

Steven couldn't help but feel amazed when he saw how his bag was found so easily.

The two did not want to stay in this strange carriage for long and wanted to return to their own carriage. However, this carriage was crowded and difficult to get through.

Steven was at a loss for what to do, and the two of them could only be squeezed around by the crowd in the carriage.

Zhang Beixing thought for a moment and decided that since he couldn't get away for the time being, he might as well check this carriage to see if there was anything missing from the bag. "Don't worry, check if there is anything missing from the bag first. Since the thief threw the bag under the seat, he might have noticed that we were chasing him."

"Another possibility is that he has already taken out all the valuables in the bag. Check to see if there is any money missing, or the confidential document you mentioned."

After being reminded by Zhang Beixing, Steven suddenly realized that he had been so focused on tracking the thief that he had not paid attention to the situation inside the bag.

If the thief really came only for confidential documents, he would have succeeded by now that the bag has been abandoned.

Steven's heart tightened and he quickly opened the bag to check. However, when he saw that the bag was empty, he was immediately shocked.

The bag that was originally full of items was now empty. All the money and documents he had put in the bag were gone.

Steven was very anxious because the documents in the bag were more important to him than money. He came to this country for this confidential document. However, the document was lost on the train.

But he thought again that since he was still on the train, the thief would not be able to get off, so he decided to catch the thief and get his documents back before the train arrived at the next station.

"Friend, can you help me find that man? The train is moving, he can't escape. My things must still be on the train."

Zhang Beixing felt that Steven was right. After all, this was in the Kyushu Empire. If a foreigner lost something here, it would not only disappoint the foreigner, but also make the people of the Kyushu Empire feel uneasy.

So Zhang Beixing decided to seek help from the flight attendant. In his opinion, this was the best way at the moment.

The train crew can investigate the matter and perhaps find the bag. Even if they can't find it, they can look for clues through the train announcements or other means.

In any case, seeking help from the flight attendant would be faster than the two of them running around like headless flies.

Even if the crew cannot find the lost property directly, they have more people and greater efficiency. In such a serious theft incident on this train, the crew will definitely do their best.

Therefore, Zhang Beixing comforted Steven not to worry and wait for the flight attendant to arrive.

"Don't worry, just wait here for a while. Our flight attendants are very professional and will definitely help you find your lost items."

Zhang Beixing was also quite anxious because the train was about to arrive at the next stop and time was running out.

If the lost property cannot be found within this short period of ten minutes, once the thief takes the item off the car, the possibility of recovering it will be very slim.

"Don't worry, let's wait for the conductor. He should be here soon. You sit here for a while, or should we go back to the original car first?"

Zhang Beixing looked around but found no suspicious person. Just as he was about to return to the original carriage, he suddenly noticed a person standing at the connection between the carriages.

There was nothing unusual about the man himself, but what was strange was that on such a hot summer day, he was wearing a thick sweater with a jacket on top.

Although Zhang Beixing felt it was strange when he first saw it, he did not pay much attention to it. After all, the world is fickle and people are different, so after seeing strange things many times, it is not surprising.

However, when he was about to take Steven back to the original carriage, he suddenly remembered an important detail.

Steven once said that his bag was originally placed on the seat, and there was a strange thin man sitting next to the seat. Steven was sure that his bag was stolen by the thin man because he had a very deep impression of the man.

"I tell you, that man is definitely the thinnest person I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone so thin, so I paid special attention to him."

"He looked very strange. It was a hot day, he was skinny and he was wearing something like a thick cotton jacket."

It was for this reason that Steven said he paid great attention to the man, whose face looked extremely thin, as if there was almost no flesh on his face, and his cheekbones were deeply sunken.

"Then why did he sit next to you? Was he a ticketed passenger? Didn't you say before that the seat next to you was always empty?"

Zhang Beixing and Steven have had a very pleasant conversation during this period. They talked about many topics from all over the world, and now they are back to the original question.

On today's train, the train attendants seemed extremely busy. They were not seen for a long time. They just kept telling passengers on the phone to wait where they were, indicating that they had understood the situation.

The train attendants were really busy, because the number of passengers today was far greater than any other time. The carriage was so crowded that even walking became extremely difficult, and they had to keep shouting for passengers to make way with every step they took. However, those passengers did not seem to cooperate, which made them feel helpless, after all, there were too many people.

Even if the passengers saw the train attendants and wanted to make way, it was extremely difficult to turn around due to the overcrowding. The train attendants were still in the front carriage of the train, while the passengers were sitting in the middle of the carriage. If the train attendants wanted to get to them, they had to go through the many carriages, which was particularly difficult on today's trains.

"It can't be helped. These flight attendants are just too slow. Let's continue talking about the suspicious skinny man next to you."

Zhang Beixing closed his eyes and wondered why the man was wearing a thick cotton jacket in the hot summer. If it was because he was afraid of the cold, it didn't make sense, because the temperature on the train was extremely high and almost unbearable.

It was summer now, and the temperature was approaching 30 degrees. Zhang Beixing wanted to wear only a pair of shorts before getting on the bus. However, the man was wrapped up tightly. If he was really afraid of the cold, that would be fine. After all, some people have weaker constitutions and will wear relatively thick clothes in summer. But this was not the strangest thing. The strange thing was that even though he was wrapped up so tightly, his face was already sweating.

"Yes, that's what makes me think he's very abnormal." Steven continued, "His face was so hot that it seemed like he would collapse at any moment, but he kept zipping up his coat, trying to cover his face completely."

When the man found Steven staring at him, he looked impatient, as if he didn't want others to see him like this. For this reason, Steven kept staring at the strange man. However, after sitting for a while, the man moved away, perhaps because he couldn't stand Steven's gaze. Steven also saw him swaying from one car to another, but when he came to his senses again, he found that his bag was gone.

"He was sitting right next to me, very, very close to me, so close that not even an ant could squeeze between us. Can you understand?"

Steven's exaggeration is just right. (End of this chapter)
