Xia Qingqing confiscated the knives from the two men, but left the money and tickets untouched; these were the evidence.

Then he gestured to Xia Heping to restrain the person and told Wang Sisi to call the train police.

Sister Zhen was pinned to the ground by Xia Qingqing, shouting, "Let me go! You've really misunderstood me. I'm not a thief. I just got up to use the restroom!"

“Hongyan, tell your daughter to let me go! My son is in the army, and I’m just going to visit him at the military base. How could I possibly be a thief?”

Zhang Hongyan looked at Sister Zhen with some hesitation. Sister Zhen didn't seem like a bad person, but she still trusted her daughter more. Qingqing wouldn't wrong someone for no reason.

She felt a little upset. During the day, she had treated the other person as a close friend, but at night the other person stole her money.

Xia Qingqing sneered: "Whether he's a thief or not, we'll know if I'm mistaken when the train police arrive."

The man, who was being suppressed by Xia Heping, was unusually quiet. If he didn't speak during the day, one could say that he was just quiet and didn't like to communicate with others, but it was strange that he remained silent about this matter.

Xia Qingqing squinted at the man, whose eyes held a hint of ruthlessness, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.

Xia Qingqing punched him in the eye: "What are you looking at? I'll poke your eye out if you look again."

Xia Heping was bewildered by her violent behavior. Was this still his usually obedient and gentle daughter?

Seeing that Xia Qingqing was about to continue, he quickly stopped her, saying, "Qingqing, don't do it yourself. If you want to hit someone, let Dad do it. Dad will help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Sisi brought over two train police officers, along with a train attendant who was also a colleague of Wang Sisi's third sister.

When her colleagues heard that something had happened in Wang Sisi's carriage, they rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the thief had been apprehended.

When Sister Zhen saw the train police coming, she was clearly flustered: "I didn't steal the money, I'm really being framed, let me go."

Xia Qingqing handed the person over to the train police officer: "The stolen money should still be on them. Please have the train police officer search them."

“No problem, you guys better behave yourselves. Whether you stole it or not isn’t up to you to decide.” One of the train police officers began searching Sister Zhen’s pockets and, sure enough, found a stack of bills in her pocket, about a hundred yuan.

Upon seeing this, Wang Sisi excitedly exclaimed, "This is my money and tickets!"

Thinking that she had almost lost all her money, Wang Sisi glared angrily at Sister Zhen: "You damned thief, you should be sent to jail for a good education."

Besides her own savings, this money also included rewards from her parents and three older sisters. She would be heartbroken if she lost it.

"You're talking nonsense! This is clearly my own money. Officers, don't believe what she says. She must have been watching me long ago when she saw I had money on me during the day," Sister Zhen tried to argue even when she was about to die. Anyway, the money didn't have Wang Sisi's name on it, so she stubbornly refused to admit it.

As the saying goes, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, but you'll be imprisoned for life; resist and you'll be punished severely, but you'll be able to go home for the New Year."

Seeing that she was still trying to argue, Wang Sisi directly stated the specific amount of money and coupons: "This is my money. There is a total of 124 yuan and 3 mao, 10 jin of national grain coupons, 2 jin of meat coupons..."

She checked all the money and tickets carefully before leaving home; there was no way she could have misremembered them.

Upon hearing this, the train police checked the money and found that the amount matched what Wang Sisi had said, and the ticket was also the same as she had described.

Now Sister Zhen could no longer deny it. Her face was ashen: "I know I was wrong, young lady, please forgive me. I didn't steal the money on purpose."

Wang Sisi ignored her. She didn't realize she was wrong when she stole the money, but only realized her mistake after being caught. She's a typical hindsight expert.

On the other side, the train police also found Zhang Hongyan and her companion's money on the middle-aged man. After checking that the amount was correct, they returned the money to its rightful owner.

The middle-aged man stared intently at Xia Qingqing, clearly regarding her as his greatest enemy. If it weren't for this brat, he and his wife would have already gotten the money. They could have gotten off the train as soon as it pulled into the station at dawn.

This couple were repeat offenders on the train. The man was mute, while the woman was very talkative. Initially, they were desperate because their family was too poor. They overheard someone saying that it was easy to steal money on a crowded train, so they spent a few dollars to buy two train tickets. Working together, they successfully stole the tickets.

Later, their ambitions grew, and those who could afford sleeper berths were wealthier than passengers in the regular carriages.

The two decided to do the opposite. No one would guess that someone who could afford a sleeper ticket would be a thief. Although sleeper tickets are more expensive, they are also more comfortable, and the amount of money that can be stolen is greater.

This was the second time they had stolen money from the sleeper car. The two originally planned to do it a few more times and then stop, but Xia Qingqing ruined their plan.

As the middle-aged man was being escorted past Xia Qingqing by the train police, he spat fiercely in her face.

Xia Qingqing hurriedly raised her hand to block it, and the disgusting liquid stuck to her sleeve. She immediately felt nauseous, and her anger surged.

The two train police officers exchanged a helpless glance at the scene. Before they could say anything, Xia Qingqing kicked the man in the stomach.

"You bastard, do you want to die?" she said, kicking him several more times before taking off her shoe and slapping it across the man's mouth. The man was unable to make a sound and his face was contorted in extreme pain.

Xia Qingqing was going crazy. What was the difference between this and getting poop on her clothes? It was just a hair's breadth away from getting on her face.

The train police officer kept the man quiet until she had vented her anger, then stopped her, saying, "Young lady, let it go. If you really hurt him, we won't be able to explain it to our superiors."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingqing immediately stopped and smiled at the train police officer, saying, "I'm sorry, officer, I was too impulsive."

"It's alright, it's alright, this guy deserved it. Could someone please come and help him take a statement?"

Xia Heping quickly said, "I'll go."

After the two train police officers and Xia Heping left, Xia Qingqing immediately took off her coat: "Mom, quickly find me some clean clothes, I feel disgusted."

"Yes, right away," Zhang Hongyan quickly opened a large package and took out Xia Qingqing's cotton coat from it: "Put it on quickly, don't catch a cold. Mom will wash this coat for you in the bathroom later."

Xia Qingqing didn't say anything, but she was determined never to wear that dress again; it was just too disgusting.

Wang Sisi looked at Xia Qingqing with admiration: "Qingqing, you are so amazing! Thanks to you, I was able to get my money back. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done."

Although her family consists of workers, she wouldn't starve to death without the money, but losing more than a hundred yuan would still be enough to make her heart ache for a long time.
