The train driver in the courtyard

"Catch the man." A stern order broke the tranquility of the early morning.

"Why, Chief Zhang? The accident hasn't been fully investigated yet. How can it be appropriate to arrest someone now?"

"Arresting people is also for the purpose of better investigating the accident. Captain Zhou, I hope you can understand the decision of the investigation team."

……

Li Aiguo had just struggled to get up from his bunk when he heard a commotion outside.

The sound instantly broke his sleepiness.

"Oh no! They are going to arrest people!" Liu Qingsong's face changed and he rushed out.

Li Aiguo didn't even bother to wash his face or rinse his mouth. He put on his shoes and buttoned them as he walked.

When I jumped off the rescue train, I saw a lot of people gathered in front.

The crew members of K16, led by Captain Zhou, were in a tense standoff with several comrades in grey Zhongshan suits.

The leader, a fat middle-aged man in a grey Zhongshan suit, looked to be the Deputy Section Chief Zhang of the Security Department of the Beijing Railway Bureau mentioned by Liu Qingsong.

He had a big round belly and his short, thick fingers like carrots were pointing at the driver Zhou angrily: "Comrade Zhou Huaiyi, you dare to go against the investigation team. This is a violation of organizational discipline.

I will forgive you this time because you are an experienced driver. If you know what is good for you, get out of my way."

Captain Zhou turned his head and glanced at the timid Huang Jing behind him, and puffed out his chest: "Team Leader Zhang, you can investigate the accident. If the results of the investigation show that the accident is related to our driver, I will personally bring her to you, but now, you must not arrest anyone."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and still hold on to those old ideas. Don't blame me for being rude."

Deputy Section Chief Zhang's eyes flashed with viciousness. He waved his hand at the team members and said viciously, "Go ahead."

Li Aiguo sighed secretly and thought that Lao Zhou was really confused.

The Security Department of the Railway Bureau is not an ordinary railway bureau unit. Their nature is similar to that of the armed forces department, and they carry weapons when they go on missions.

Sure enough, when the team members heard the order, they saw Zhou Huaiyi still standing in front of Huang Jing.

He quickly lifted the hem of his clothes, his hand had already grasped the handle of the gun, and he was about to pull out the gun.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang curled up the corner of his mouth into a hidden smile.

It was so easy to succeed. These people are not that good. Old Huang didn't succeed for such a long time. He is too incompetent.

"What are you doing? You're using knives and guns so early in the morning. If outsiders saw this, they would think there was an internal conflict within our Beijing City Bureau."

This loud shout was like a thunder, which scared the team members.

Their hands stopped on the gun handles, not daring to make any further movements.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang turned his head and saw a young man in oil-covered clothes, smoking a cigarette, walking slowly towards him from a distance.

The sunlight fell on him, giving his slightly coal-dusty oil-coated suit a golden edge.

"Are you Li Aiguo's driver?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang's eyes flashed with fear. He lowered his voice and said, "Driver Li, our investigation team is carrying out the investigation mission. I hope you can understand."

Li Aiguo walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile, "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, can you let me have a chat with Captain Zhou and Driver Huang?"

Deputy Section Chief Zhang secretly guessed Li Aiguo's intention and wanted to refuse directly, then give the team members a wink and let them continue.

He knew that things would become complicated as soon as he used a gun.

By then, they will be charged with openly resisting the investigation team. Even if the accident has nothing to do with Huang Jing, she will still be in trouble.

But he saw that those team members seemed a little hesitant, and some of them even lowered their heads after meeting his gaze.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang sighed inwardly and could only raise his wrist to check the time: "I'll give you ten minutes."

Li Aiguo nodded slightly to Deputy Section Chief Zhang, then walked over and pulled Zhou Huaiyi and Huang Jing aside.

"Driver Li, this matter has nothing to do with Huang Jing at all. Deputy Section Chief Zhang is obviously here to make trouble for us. You are Huang Jing's master, you can't just ignore it." Zhou Huaiyi was so anxious that his face turned red and veins on his forehead popped out.

Li Aiguo patted him on the shoulder and suddenly asked, "Old Zhou, how about we take out our guns now, kill Deputy Section Chief Zhang and the people in the investigation team, and then dig a hole and bury them all."

"Oh, that's absolutely not possible!"

Captain Zhou said loudly subconsciously. After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Aiguo and asked in a low voice: "Driver Li, can you really do that?"

Li Aiguo was speechless: "..."

My goodness, nowadays even train conductors have such "bandit" ideas.

Li Aiguo: "."

Well, train conductors these days have also become bandits.

"What do you think?" Li Aiguo asked back unhappily.

"No, absolutely not." Captain Zhou thought about it carefully and gave up the unrealistic idea.

Li Aiguo said: "Since we can't just ignore them, now that Deputy Section Chief Zhang has the power of investigation, you are still going against him.

Do you think the guns in their hands are fire sticks? Or do you think the General Administration will allow the crew to fight against the investigation team? "

"I," said the conductor Zhou, looking frustrated, "but I can't just watch them take driver Huang away. The guys in the investigation team were all drawn from various railway police stations, and they are very ruthless."

"Don't worry, I'll coordinate this matter.

From now on, all you have to do is to fully cooperate with the investigation team to find out the cause of the accident."

Although Captain Zhou didn't know what solution Li Aiguo had, he still chose to believe him and nodded.

Li Aiguo turned his head and looked at Huang Jing again: "Disciple, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Master, I didn't make any mistakes!"

Huang Jing was a little timid when facing the fierce investigation team, but now seeing Li Aiguo, she straightened her chest bravely.

"Okay, as long as it's not your fault, even if the king of heaven comes, he won't be able to put the blame on you."

After saying that, Li Aiguo put his hands behind his back and walked towards Deputy Section Chief Zhang.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang raised his wrist to check the time and said, "It only took nine minutes, Driver Li, you are quite trustworthy. Can we take the person away now?"

"Take him away? Where to?" Li Aiguo frowned.

"Of course we'll take him back to the General Administration for investigation. Li Aiguo, you wouldn't want to go against us like Captain Zhou did, would you?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang immediately perked up.

Li Aiguo said: "Deputy Section Chief Zhang, your investigation team is here to investigate the cause of the train accident.

Now, in order not to affect the traffic in the section, the train will be moved away soon and the scene will be destroyed.

Instead of investigating the accident on the spot, you are taking the train driver back to the headquarters.

I seriously suspect that the purpose of your trip is not to investigate the accident, but to deal with the train driver.

As a train driver, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch my brothers and sisters suffer injustice."

As soon as these words were spoken, Deputy Section Chief Zhang's expression suddenly changed, and he glanced around.

I saw comrades from the rescue team gathered around under the leadership of Liu Qingsong.

Comrades from the Shanhaiguan Railway Police Station also stood up and looked over here.

This damn train driver, his prestige is too high. Deputy Section Chief Zhang complained in his heart and smiled awkwardly: "Driver Li, do you have any suggestions?"

“You arrested people because you wanted to ask driver Huang about the circumstances of the accident.

There is a rescue train here, you can ask on the rescue train.

At the same time, we can investigate the scene of the accident.”

"That's a good idea..."

Deputy Section Chief Zhang realized that his original plan was not feasible and had no choice but to settle for the next best option.

But he thought to himself, it didn't matter, as long as Huang Jing fell into his hands, the investigation team would have plenty of ways to make Huang Jing tell him what he wanted.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang was preparing to have Huang Jing brought into the rescue train for interrogation.

At this moment, Li Aiguo took a side step and stood in front of Huang Jing like a solid city wall.

He carried no weapons and stood there alone and quietly, like a towering mountain.

The investigators who had pistols on their waists were frightened and dared not move forward rashly.

They all stopped, looked hesitant, and then looked at Deputy Section Chief Zhang for help.

"Driver Li, I've already given in, don't push your luck!"

Deputy Section Chief Zhang frowned. "You are an outstanding train driver in the country. Do you also want to go against the organization?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Liu Qingsong put his hands on his waist, and several rescue team members grabbed the pickaxes.

Su Tieshou originally had his hands folded in front of his chest, but now he slowly lowered his arms, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his eyes became sharp.

"Please get out of the way immediately." Deputy Section Chief Zhang realized that his momentum was somewhat suppressed.
In order to save his position, he added, "Don't think you are superior just because you are an excellent train driver in the country. There are not only people from our Beijing Bureau here, but also comrades from the Shanhaiguan Railway Police Station. They also have the right to investigate the accident and will not let you do whatever you want."

Li Aiguo was waiting for this sentence, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Since it is a joint investigation, it may not be appropriate to only let your investigation team question driver Huang.

I suggest that the comrades from the Shanhaiguan Railway Police Station also participate in the interrogation process.”

Deputy Section Chief Zhang did not expect Li Aiguo to make this request, and for a moment he did not know how to answer.

The reason why he contacted the Jinzhou Railway Bureau was to ask them to send someone to monitor the accident scene.

This was to prevent the rescue team and the crew from tampering with the situation, and there was no idea of ​​a joint investigation.

Now Li Aiguo seized on this flaw and pursued it relentlessly.

"Driver Li" Deputy Section Chief Zhang instinctively felt that something was wrong and wanted to refuse.

At this time, Su Tieshou took a few steps forward and said seriously, "Team Leader Zhang, the order we received from Shanhaiguan Police Station is to assist the investigation team. Since it is assistance, I think we have reason to participate in the questioning process."

Li Aiguo was a little surprised that Su Tieshou took the initiative to come forward.

He gave Su Tieshou a grateful look, but Su Tieshou seemed not to see it and stared at Deputy Section Chief Zhang.

"Since you are willing to help, that would be great. After all, you have more experience in interrogation."

Deputy Section Chief Zhang didn't care about Su Tieshou. After all, the old friend he entrusted was also a well-known figure in the Jinzhou Railway Bureau.

Even if Cycas revoluta's hands are made of iron, can his head be made of iron?
After Li Aiguo stepped aside, Su Tieshou, together with members of the railway police and investigation team, took Huang Jing onto the rescue train.

When Huang Jing walked to the train door, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Aiguo, who nodded slightly at her.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang was anxious to interrogate the matter, so he hurriedly took Su Tieshou into the rescue train.

At this time, a carriage in the train had been cleared out and turned into a temporary interrogation room.

Huang Jing sat in her seat, looking a little nervous. Deputy Section Chief Zhang and Su Tieshou sat opposite her.

"Name?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang signaled the team member sitting next to him in the corridor to start taking notes.

"Huang Jing." Huang Jing pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

"Position?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang frowned.

"Level 16 driver of Qianmen Locomotive Depot, chief driver of K train crew."

After a routine interrogation, Deputy Section Chief Zhang asked about the process of the accident. Huang Jing had already told Li Aiguo about the process once, and she told it again very skillfully. There were no loopholes in the whole process. Even if Deputy Section Chief Zhang was picky, he could not accuse Huang Jing of causing the train accident due to operational errors.

Huang Jing couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Deputy Section Chief Zhang's tone gradually calm down.

But at this moment, Deputy Section Chief Zhang suddenly slammed the table, and the loud noise scared Huang Jing so much that her face turned pale.

"Driver Huang, why did you deliberately sabotage the train!" Deputy Section Chief Zhang asked sternly.

Huang Jing was frightened by this sudden question and trembled all over, and hurriedly explained: "No, I am a train driver!
When I was an apprentice, my master told me that the safety of the train and passengers should always be put first.

How could I possibly sabotage a train?"

"You don't admit it, right? You're not the only stubborn person our investigation team has encountered.

People like you have received special training, and interrogation alone will not be able to find out the cause of the accident."

Deputy Section Chief Zhang turned his head and looked at the member who was taking notes: "Don't take notes now, you go out first."

The team member hesitated for a moment, put down his pen, closed his notebook, and left the car.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang looked at Su Tieshou again and said, "Su Gongan, your Director Liu and I have been good friends for many years.

He often mentioned to me that the Shanhaiguan Railway Police Station had produced an excellent railway police officer.

As soon as I saw you today, I knew that Director Liu had good vision.

Director Liu told me a while ago that he was planning to promote you to the Railway Bureau."

Cycas Hand nodded expressionlessly, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

Seeing that Su Tieshou was not tactful, Deputy Section Chief Zhang had no choice but to make the matter clear.

“I suspect this woman is Dieter, sent by the enemy to cause trouble.

This kind of person has been trained, so I can only use some tricks, so I hope you can."

As he said this, he turned his head and raised his chin towards the door of the carriage. His meaning was obvious, which was to let Cycas Tieshou leave tactfully.

Cycas didn't seem to notice his gesture, and nodded, "I'm just doing what I should do."

"What should be done?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang realized that something was wrong and frowned.

Su Tieshou leaned back in his seat and said in a deep voice, "Driver Huang is my comrade, and the matter has not been investigated clearly yet.

I don't know how your investigation team does things.

But I will not allow anyone to use arbitrary means here. "

Deputy Section Chief Zhang didn't expect Su Tieshou to be uncooperative, and his face suddenly turned dark: "Su Tieshou, don't you worry about Director Liu?"

He didn't finish his words, but the threat was clear.

Su Tieshou folded his arms and said coldly: "Compared to being a leader in the Railway Bureau, I still prefer working on the front line."

Railway police is a very dangerous position these days.

It's bad enough that you have to face bad guys with all kinds of weapons every day, but occasionally you'll meet the destructive Dieter, who'll give you a big fight.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang really found it difficult to understand Cycas Retusa's choice.

But he had no choice at this moment and could only put on a stern face and "suppress" Su Tieshou as the leader of the investigation team.

"Comrade Su Tieshou, I am the leader of the investigation team. Now I order you to get out as the leader."

"I'm sorry, our Shanhaiguan Police Station is under the jurisdiction of the Jinzhou Road Bureau and has nothing to do with your Jingcheng Road Bureau."

Su Tieshou's expression remained unchanged. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a light puff.

"Are you really willing to sacrifice your entire future for a little train driver?"

Deputy Section Chief Zhang's face gradually turned pale and his tone became much heavier.

With a cloud of thick smoke, Su Tieshou slowly uttered a sentence: "I am not doing this for a certain person, I am doing this for our railway cause and for those ancestors who sacrificed their lives to build the railway."

After hearing these words, Deputy Section Chief Zhang knew that he had encountered a tough opponent today.

This cycad is simply an unyielding "iron head".

"This matter is not over yet!" Deputy Section Chief Zhang suddenly stood up and left the interrogation room (carriage).

As long as he can find the cause of the accident at the scene, even Cycas Retusa can't stop him from taking action.

As the footsteps faded away, Huang Jing, who had been on tenterhooks, looked up at Su Tieshou with gratitude: "Director Su, thank you."

"Don't thank me. If you were the one who caused the accident, I would personally send you to the police station."

Su Tieshou said this with a stern face, then called two railway police officers and asked them to stay in the carriage with Huang Jing.

"From now on, no one is allowed to interrogate Driver Huang without my company. If anyone dares to mess around, you know what to do!"

"Captain, don't worry, there are no cowards in Shanhaiguan."

The two railway police officers were veteran police officers who had followed Su Tieshou for many years and had seen all kinds of scenes.

They didn't take Deputy Section Chief Zhang's threats seriously at all.

Su Tieshou gave them a few more instructions before leaving the train carriage and hurried towards the scene of the accident.

He also wanted to figure out how a train that was running normally could suddenly have an accident?
At this time, three teams had gathered at the accident scene.

The Qianmen Locomotive Depot team represented by the rescue team of Li Aiguo and Liu Qingsong.

The Jinzhou Railway Bureau team represented by Su Tieshou.

Finally, there is the Beijing Road Bureau team represented by Deputy Section Chief Zhang.

Also outside were the train conductor Zhou and crew members of K16 train.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two overturned carriages.

The investigation is mainly led by the investigation team, but with these two teams watching from the side, Deputy Section Chief Zhang cannot do anything wrong.

"Engineer Chen, Engineer Zhang, please help with the accident investigation.

Don't worry, the railway bureau will support you. If you find any problems, feel free to raise them."

The investigation team did make sufficient preparations this time.

Despite the tight departure time, they still specially invited two train experts from the Beijing Railway Research Institute.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang originally planned to have these two experts to support the situation.

Coupled with his skillful guidance, it was almost certain that he would be able to win over Huang Jing this time.

However, to his surprise, Engineers Chen and Zhang arrived at the scene.

The two experts did not go to inspect the accident car first, but walked straight towards Li Aiguo and greeted him enthusiastically.

This scene made Deputy Section Chief Zhang immediately realize that something was wrong.

Li Aiguo did not expect that the Security Department would invite Engineers Chen and Zhang this time.

You know, these two were members of the project team when he developed the patriotic locomotive, and they have a deep friendship with each other.

"Team Leader Li, you are here too!" As soon as Engineer Chen saw Li Aiguo, he greeted him warmly.

When he first followed Li Aiguo, he ate shredded pork noodles for a whole month. The noodles were so delicious.

Zhang Gong stretched out his hand towards Li Aiguo from a distance.

She held his hand tightly and said excitedly, "Team Leader Li, during the Spring Festival, I was planning to visit you at home with gifts, but I didn't know you were going abroad."

"Visit? You're so polite, Lao Zhang. You're so polite." Li Aiguo responded with a smile.

"That's not polite at all, we were in the research group back then.

You have reminded me many times that a teacher is a father for life, and this is what we scholars should do."

"Hey, you're still too polite, but I really like eating Daoxiangcun's cakes."

"."

While Li Aiguo shook hands tightly with Engineer Zhang, he looked at Deputy Section Chief Zhang with a hint of provocation.

This is the expert you hired to deal with my apprentice?

Upon seeing this, Deputy Section Chief Zhang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and secretly complained in his heart: How could this kid be so ignorant of the rules? Even if you are proud of yourself, you can't show it so obviously!

But he had no choice, because all the train experts in Beijing were in the Railway Research Institute. Even if he replaced the other two experts, the outcome would probably be the same.

However, Deputy Section Chief Zhang was not too worried because he knew these veteran experts well.

They are old-fashioned and particularly principled. Once they find any suspicious points, even Li Aiguo cannot stop them.

"Ahem, okay, time is running out. After we inspect the accident car, we have to move it away immediately."

Deputy Section Chief Zhang saw that the three people were chatting endlessly and had to remind them.

Engineer Chen turned his head and glared at him fiercely, saying unhappily, "Team Leader Zhang, we are discussing with Driver Li how to inspect the accident wagon. This is a technical matter, don't you know? Why are you, an outsider, interfering?"

Mr. Zhang has already started to consider whether to buy one pound or two pounds of glutinous rice cake.

After being interrupted, he was a little angry: "Yeah, I hate this kind of situation where an amateur leads the experts. If Director Liu hadn't named us, we wouldn't have wanted to come at all. Do you really think the subsidy of two kilograms of corn flour a day is attractive?!"

Deputy Section Chief Zhang: “.”

Deputy Section Chief Zhang's face was filled with embarrassment and helplessness, and he was angry but couldn't vent it.

After all, he was the one who hired these people, and he would have to rely on them to work in the future, so he could only swallow his anger.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang felt really aggrieved at this moment.

Li Aiguo was aware of the importance of the Beijing-Harbin Line, and in order to restore traffic as soon as possible, he did not say much.

"Lao Chen, Lao Zhang, let's divide into groups and conduct the inspection. Remember what I told you, any abnormal phenomenon is suspicious."

"understand!"

The three were about to investigate when Deputy Section Chief Zhang turned his eyes and waved at the members of the investigation team who were watching the excitement nearby: "Keep an eye on them."

Li Aiguo was directing the members of the rescue team to use pliers to open the twisted carriage door.

When he saw a member of the investigation team following behind him, he immediately understood Deputy Section Chief Zhang's intention.

But he didn't care.

"Lao Liu, turn on the flashlight."

Liu Qingsong turned on the flashlight.

With the help of the flashlight beam, Li Aiguo got into the carriage.

When the crew members outside saw Li Aiguo and the other two busy inside and outside the carriage, their hearts rose to their throats.

Su Tieshou lit a cigarette, squatted beside him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
