Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 246: Lost the chain at the critical moment

A few people chatted there for a while, and then the train started slowly.

During the chat, Yang Xiaole also learned that those who got on the sleeper car were all cadres, no matter how big or small they were.

As for there are still a lot of empty seats for people who want to go to Guangzhou later.

There were a lot of smokers in the carriage, puffing away smoke, and soon the car began to fill with smoke.

With nothing to do, I climbed directly onto the top bunk, took out a novel and started reading there.

Mom might be in a bad mood, so after chatting with Wang Hong for a while, she also climbed onto the bed and lay there.

Yang Xiaole was reading a book when suddenly his nose sniffed.

A sour smell began to permeate the car, mixed with the smell of cigarettes. It was really sour.

This is when people in the carriage began to take off their shoes.

After watching it for a while, I felt it was really boring and the car was extremely noisy.

He lay there and fell asleep directly.

……

I woke up a few times in the middle.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside, and it was no longer clear where the car had gone.

"Xiao Le, Xiao Le, eat something!"

While thinking, Yang Xiaole felt himself being pushed by his mother, and her voice came to his ears.

Turning around to look, my mother handed over a corn bun.

And there was a faint smell of vegetables in the carriage.

I looked at the time and it was already around eight o'clock.

I looked up and saw that among the six beds, only the leader who spoke first and two of them were eating from lunch boxes, while the other two were eating dry food.

Among them is Wang Hong.

In fact, it is normal. The salary level of lower-level cadres is not as high as imagined.

"Wait a moment!"

Yang Xiaole responded and came down directly from above without picking up the wowotou.

"What are you doing?"

Watching him leave, Wang Qiuju still shouted.

"Go ahead and have a look!"

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he left without looking back.

From time to time there were people smoking and chatting in the corridor.

The train departed from Kyoto. There were not that many people on the train yet, and there were quite a few empty seats.

After asking around, I found the location of the dining car in front.

The meals on the train don’t require food stamps or meat stamps, so why do you have to eat Wotou?

"Hello comrade, what kind of food do you want? How much does it cost?"

Arriving at the dining car, Yang Xiaole asked casually.

The female conductor responded with a familiarity: "There is only one kind, shredded Chinese cabbage and pork, shredded radish and lotus root, 3 cents a portion."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this: "Give me one."

After saying that, he took out the money and handed it to her.

The conductor didn't take the money and asked him: "I'll register the ticket. This lunch box needs to be returned!" He asked for the ticket information to prevent the lunch box from not being returned to her.

Yang Xiaole nodded and understood.

Just pay for the train ticket.

"Xiao Le?"

While thinking, a familiar voice came from the side.

Yang Xiaole turned around and looked surprised: "Uncle, why are you here?"

The other party is his uncle Yang Guangchun.

There were many people in the dining car, so it was impossible for him to turn on the scanning function, and he didn't find anyone close to it.

Yang Guangchun didn't answer him, but handed an ID to the conductor, "I'll give you the money. I'll register the information in two copies."

The conductor saw this and took over.

At this time, Yang Guangchun smiled at Yang Xiaole and said: "There are also people from the Canton Fair Textile Factory who want to go there. I will go there with the team. Where are you? Why did you take the train? Are you the only one?"

"Oh, something happened at my mother's house. Mom and I will go there..."

Then he told what happened.

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun nodded lightly and sighed: "Okay, let your mother not be so sad. Which car shop are you at?"

"Car No. 4..."

Yang Guangzhi nodded, "Okay, you go over there first, and I'll go find you later. I need to arrange the team members' meals now."

He took the lunch box from the waiter and handed it to him.

Yang Xiaole took the things and nodded: "Hey, okay, I'll go there first!"

After speaking, he said hello and left.

Back in the carriage, my mother looked at him holding the lunch box and started to scream: "You kid, aren't there pancakes here? Do you have to buy food? It costs 3 cents a portion! One meal for two of us, one day My salary will be gone. If only I had to eat three meals, it would still be worth it!"

Yang Xiaole plucked his ears: "Mom, guess who I bumped into?"

"I don't care who you meet."

Wang Qiuju looked distressed. Now that she thought about the train ticket costing 28 yuan per person, her heart was still bleeding!
One and a half months' salary per trip.

"My uncle gave it to me, and he's in the car too!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju was surprised and turned around to look in the carriage: "Your uncle is here too? Why is he here too?"

"Oh, he also went to the Canton Fair! He paid for this meal."

After saying that, he gave him a lunch box.

I kept one for myself.

The aluminum lunch box looks numb and has many black spots. It looks a little worn out after being used for a long time.

After opening, there is a layer of white rice at the bottom, with a layer of cabbage, fried shredded pork, shredded radish and some shredded lotus root spread on top.

Even if this food is left to future generations, ordinary employees will not be able to eat it.

But at this point, it was already a very good meal.

Because there is meat.

Wang Qiuju was holding the lunch box. Although she didn't buy it with her own money, she felt distressed for a while.

"Don't go to the dining car next time, you hear me?"

You don't need to think about it to know that this guy must have gone to the dining car to buy food before he met Yang Guangchun.

"Okay, I got it!"

Yang Xiaole nodded nonchalantly.

Seeing his expression, Wang Qiuju also felt helpless for a while, and it seemed that it was useless even if she said it.

I could only start eating.

Halfway through the meal, uncle Yang Guangchun came from behind, holding four lunch boxes in his hand.

"Qiu Ju!"

"Hey, big brother!"

When Wang Qiuju heard Yang Guangchun's voice, she quickly stood up, "I just heard from Xiaole that you were here. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!"

Yang Guangchun nodded, "Well, this time I went to Guangzhou with the team to attend the Canton Fair. If I hadn't gone to dinner just now, I wouldn't have met him! Don't be sad about things at home."

Hearing this, my mother nodded gently: "I know."

Sighing, he changed the topic and asked, "Sister-in-law is not in good health. Can you leave her alone?"

Yang Guangchun shook his head: "It's okay. She is much better now. Basically, there is no problem. Moreover, she is a doctor herself and has colleagues in the hospital. But this is a coincidence. I was not worried at first. I will send you a telegram today to let you know. If you have time, you can go and have a look, I didn’t expect you guys to take the train too.”

As he spoke, he looked at the police officer passing by.

Not paying attention, the two continued chatting.

The two chatted casually for a while, and Yang Guangchun said: "You guys eat, I'm going back first. I have to deliver food to them. I'm in the next carriage 3. If you need anything, come and see me."

"Okay, big brother, go and do your work. I'll see you if I have anything to do!"

Wang Qiuju was polite.

When Yang Guangchang saw this, he got up and left.

"Wait a minute, let me see your ID and certificate!"

While he was thinking, the two policemen from earlier came over and pointed at Yang Guangchun and others with serious expressions on their faces.

Yang Xiaole saw it just now. They were checking the car.

Without thinking too much, he took out the street certificate from his pocket and handed it to the other party: "This belongs to me and my mother."

Yang Guangchun also handed him the certificate.

One of them took the thing and looked at it carefully, while the other one looked wary, as if to prevent something from happening.

And the two people checked very carefully.

The few people watching felt strange for a while.

After the investigation, he returned the certificates and began to investigate Wang Hong and others.

"Hello, comrade, what happened?"

Yang Guangchun put the certificate away and asked strangely. This is not how trains are checked. There must be some problems.

The other party looked at it and did not answer. Instead, he said: "Be careful on the train, especially if you encounter any suspicious people. Remember to inform us of emergencies."

After hearing this, Yang Guangchun thought for a while and finally stopped asking.

If I could say it, I would have said it long ago.

Then he said to Wang Qiuju: "Then you guys are here, I'm going back first, you guys be careful."

"It's okay, there are so many people!"

Wang Qiuju didn't react and said something carelessly.

Seeing this, Yang Guangchun nodded, took the lunch box and left.

After the others left, Yang Xiaole ate and pondered.

He probably heard something about the two people talking between the carriages just now. They were carrying murder weapons and several lives. In addition to investigating the murderer, there was nothing else.

I didn't expect this thing to be in the car.

He wasn't worried that the other party would hurt anyone. Since he was on the train, he must have escaped. Who would get up and hurt someone on the train if they had nothing to do?

That's really a pain in the ass!
Unless it is a special case.

But now that he had encountered it, he was going to take a look.

It's not a difficult thing for him anyway.

"Hey, Qiu Ju, is that your brother? What does he do? The level is not low, right? There is a soft sleeper over there."

After Wang Hong checked her ID, she asked with a smile while eating.

A soft sleeper must have at least a minor degree in order to travel on official business. A senior soft sleeper must be at the director level or above, and a single senior soft sleeper is available all year round.

Of course, overseas Chinese, foreigners and overseas Chinese do not count.

Wang Qiuju ate her rice and nodded: "Yes, the child is his uncle. He happens to be in the same car."

Hearing this, Wang Hong just smiled.

I didn't continue to ask, it wasn't a relationship, I was just curious.Yang Xiaole ate and waited there. After his mother finished eating, he took his lunch box and rushed towards the dining car.

Walking in the car, Yang Xiaole subconsciously explored the people in the car.

We walked all the way and came directly to the dining car.

He told Yang Guangchun the ticket number he had just registered and returned the lunch box to the other party.

I was not in a hurry to go back, but thought about the front and walked over.

Looking all the way to the end of the train, nothing was found.

As for the carriages at the back, they are connected by hooks in the middle, so there is no way to pass them.

It should be said that he couldn't get through. At this time, there was someone in the aisle over there.

After wandering back, I came to Car No. [-].

At this time, a middle-aged man walked towards him. His face was gray and haggard, and the thin cotton-padded jacket he wore was also very shabby.

This is common in hard-seat carriages.

Yang Xiaole also scanned it subconsciously.

"Eh! Commune seal?"

When Yang Xiaole saw this seal, he was suspicious.

There are quite a few stamps in the carriages, especially those in the sleeper berths.

But it's a little strange that this person is wearing a seal.

You must know that seals are very important wherever they are. The seals of the production team are kept safe by the team leader.

Although the commune was poor, the only person who could obtain the commune's special seal was the secretary.

Would such a person wear such shabby clothes?

Bullshit!
It’s true that the commune secretary is not a cadre. He is a serious official, and he can’t even wear the work uniforms he is given every year.

In addition to this, the other party also has an awl holding the sole of a shoe in his arms.

I really didn't find anything suspicious in other places.

There is only one letter of introduction, certificate, and household register.

It can also be correct.

Standing at the junction of the carriages, watching the other person sit down, and talking to the person next to him was very polite.

Yang Xiaole hesitated there.

To be honest, not all the people in the carriage were clean, and some even came from the train.

It was probably stolen from the car window.

The other person is not necessarily a bad person.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally walked back quietly and thought about it first.

Don't misunderstand people.

I returned to Car No. 4, looked at the corridor leading to Car No. 3, and saw that half of the people in this car were not checking, so I was still going to show this car.

After all, this is the carriage where I sleep.

I just went straight to the back and haven’t seen the front half yet!
When you come back, just walk over there.

"I rely on!"

Most of the people in this compartment were Canton Fair cadres, and only a few people like him were in sleeper berths.

So people here carry a lot of documents.

But the person at the far end has some good things in his briefcase.

In the bag were a dozen blank sheets of introduction letters from different communes or units.

Also stored inside was a shriveled green radish that was about to lose its moisture, and a box of ink pads.

The most surprising thing is that there is a small pistol and a very sharp knife at the bottom of the bag.

"Damn it, it can't be this guy, right?"

Looking at the other party, he was also wearing a Chinese tunic cadre uniform, but he was dressed very brightly. Who would have thought that this person would have these things in his hands?

The murderer?

Or a spy?

At this time, he was not only thinking of murderers, but also of spies.

Because there is everyone in this car.

After thinking for a while, he left the carriage directly and came to the uncle's carriage.

The soft sleepers here all have wooden doors.

When I came here, I knocked gently on the door of the room.

After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door and asked curiously: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Yang Xiaole looked inside: "I'm looking for my uncle!"

The inside is more upscale than a hard sleeper, with four beds and independent doors. It's comfortable to sleep in, but the smoke inside makes it almost impossible to see anyone.

At this time, Yang Guangchun was lying on the bed. He also saw him and climbed up from the bed: "Xiao Le! Come in!"

Yang Xiaole looked at it and shook his head: "Uncle, please come out. I have something to ask you!"

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun nodded strangely, put on his shoes and came out.

The person who just opened the door naturally went back.

"what happened?"

Yang Guangchun was also surprised for a while.

"Uncle, come here, let me tell you something~"

After saying that, I walked over thinking about it.

Although Yang Guangchun didn't know what he was doing, he still followed him.

Arriving near the compartment, he made a gesture to silence himself.

Pointing to the car next door, he said softly: "Uncle, listen, please lower your voice for a while. There is something wrong with the person on the top left of our car No. 11. He has a gun in his hand. I suspect he is a spy."

Yang Guangchun was still wondering!

But he was surprised when he heard what happened next. After all, he was someone who had been on the meat grinder battlefield.

His expression didn't change much.

Pulling him gently: "How do you know? This is no small matter!"

Although there is not yet a total ban on guns, the control is very strict. At least all guns on the surface are registered.

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

"Well, sure! So I came over to tell you!"

"How did you know for sure?"

Yang Xiaole's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Of course I am sure!

I saw it “with my own eyes”!
Then he said nonsensically: "I saw the man in front of him taking something out when he was smoking at the joint of the carriage. You'd better contact the police. Something will happen soon. It's in our carriage! Don't let anything happen if it's too late. !”

Yang Guangchun always felt something was wrong after hearing this. Why don't you smoke on the upper bunk?

Even if you're not on the upper bunk, you can just smoke while sitting in the aisle. How could you smoke there and let him see it?

But thinking about the previous investigation by the police, and worried that something might happen, he finally nodded: "Okay, you wait here, I'll find someone. Just stay here, don't run around."

Yang Xiaole nodded and watched him leave.

As soon as Yang Guangchun left, the man got out of the car, still carrying the bag in his hand.

Watching the other party leave, Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while.

In the end, I still waited here.

A few minutes later, the two policemen came back from the front of the car.

Yang Guangzhi quickly said to the police officer: "Comrade Wang, this is my nephew, he discovered the matter."

The other party nodded slightly when he heard this: "Well, thank you, comrade. Your news is very important. Don't go there yet. We..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Xiaole said directly: "Don't worry, the man has already got off the truck when he's not on the truck. He's gone to the back. I don't know what he's doing there."

Hearing this, Police Officer Wang frowned.

"You've met him, do you remember who he is?"

Yang Xiaole also frowned. He didn't want to show off, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded: "Remember, do you want to arrest me directly?"

"That's for sure! It's really dangerous for such a person to be in the car."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll take you over there and watch my eyes and gestures for a while."

Police Officer Wang Cheng nodded after hearing this.

"Hey……"

Yang Guangchun stopped him and said, "It's too dangerous. I'll go with you. I'm your uncle anyway, so I don't even have to pretend. What will I tell your father if something happens to you?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, you have to stop him immediately. The gun should be in the bag. It won't be a problem if you move faster."

After making an agreement, several people walked towards the carriage.

Yang Xiaole followed his uncle and walked on the road with a smile.

Keep your eyes straight ahead.

Arrive at the fifth workshop and walk toward the back.

The two policemen followed behind, pretending to look elsewhere, but worried that they might miss it, their eyes kept wandering around Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole looked around casually and muttered: "Uncle, I'm going to have a meal with meat later, and I'm starving to death."

But when I saw the man with the fake official seal of the commune and the awl in his arms, I felt a sudden change in my heart.

This man became obviously nervous, and his hand quietly stuffed the awl in his pocket.

After thinking about it for a moment, I suddenly understood what was going on.

The two policemen at the back must be staring at this side with vigilant eyes. This guy wouldn't think they were arresting him, right?
Brother, don't hit the muzzle of the gun!
While thinking, the man with the gun also came back from the front with a lunch box. He must have taken advantage of the fact that there were fewer people eating now and went to buy food.

Then he shook his head helplessly.

Damn, I slipped up at the critical moment.

A little boy stood up between the policeman and the two people, and followed him, separating the two of them from the policeman.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole was hesitating in his mind whether he should wait for the person with the gun to pass by and then come back later.

Seeing several waves of people almost meeting together.

Yang Xiaole thought about it and decided to forget it.

He quickened his pace and came directly to the person holding the awl, pausing for a moment.

Just as the uncle came to the man with the awl, the man with the gun behind him also approached him.

Yang Xiaole pointed fiercely at the person holding the awl and shouted: "That's him!"

Hearing this sound, the face of the person holding the awl changed, and he immediately started to take out the awl.

But who is Yang Guangchun?

The people who came out of the pile of dead people were always vigilant. After hearing Yang Xiaole's words, they immediately took action.

But Yang Xiaole ignored him and punched him in the back, because just when he shouted loudly, the middle-aged man with the gun took out the gun directly from behind his butt.

Oh shit!

Put the gun behind your butt, and take it out to hurt someone if there is any movement.

No problem.
