Chapter 427 Flour

Gu Xizhou looked unconvinced, "You said this is your mother's ashes, then it really is your mother's ashes. I also said that it contains your family's flour."

A hint of guilt flashed across the man's eyes, and he held the urn even tighter.

"Bullshit, this is my mother's urn."

Gu Xizhou and the police who had been staring at the man confirmed their guess when they saw his reaction.

It seems that what is contained here is not really ashes.

The police officer who had been silent just now spoke up at the right time, pulled Gu Xizhou over and left the private room.

"Comrade, don't bother with him. He's just worried about losing something."

"Would it be inconvenient for you to travel with the urn? How about we arrange for you to stay in the conductor's compartment?"

The man stiffened and immediately waved his hand, "No, just don't let me see him."

Gu Xizhou came out of the private room and winked at Su Nanzhi, but didn't say anything.

Several people searched all the private rooms that followed, but found nothing unusual.

When we arrived at the police's duty room on the train, everyone's faces looked a little ugly.

Gu Xizhou's expression was solemn. "The contents of that man's urn were not ashes, but flour."

He just wiped the rim of the urn and found some powder residue on it.

Although the ashes are in powder form, they are definitely not that fine, and you can smell a floury smell when you put them close to your nose.

The leading police officer nodded. Although he was a train police officer and usually dealt with trivial matters concerning passengers, he still maintained the sharpness of a police officer.

The man's behavior just now was indeed abnormal.

"We've searched the private room, but we haven't found the man's accomplice. So the only possibility is that he's already gotten off the train or is in the hard-seat carriage."

They could still breathe a sigh of relief if it was the former, but if it was the latter...

Thinking of the overcrowded hard-seat carriage, everyone felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

There are only four sleeper carriages and ten hard seat carriages. The method that works in the sleeper carriage is not suitable for the hard seat carriage.

Perhaps the accomplice has already run away before he is found.

"Since we've already determined that there's something wrong with the man, all we can do now is wait and see."

Gu Xizhou said in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on that man, maybe he will reconnect with his accomplices."

No one asked what would happen if there were no connection.

The leading police officer nodded and said, "I've already asked the comrades who haven't been seen to keep an eye on that man."

"I'll ask other colleagues to keep an eye out for any abnormalities in the hard seat carriages."

Everyone discussed for a while before Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou left the public security duty room.

Seeing that Su Nanzhi looked worried, Gu Xizhou, although feeling a little uneasy, still spoke to comfort her.

"Nanzhi, it's definitely okay. We will definitely be able to resolve this matter before the other party reacts."

Su Nanzhi forced a smile on her face, but she didn't take his comfort to heart.

"Xizhou, let's help the public security comrades check if there's anything unusual in the hard seat carriage."

Compared to leaving her future to others, she believes in herself more.

Gu Xizhou looked at her cautious face, nodded without saying anything, turned around and went to the public security duty room.

The police were originally worried about the lack of manpower, but when they heard that Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi wanted to help, they were more than happy to help.

The dining car is located between the sleeper car and the hard seat car. Sleeper passengers can enter and exit the dining car freely, but passengers in the hard seat car will be strictly checked when going to the dining car.

There is also a partition door between the hard seat car and the dining car, which is closed except during meal times.

In addition, there are flight attendants guarding the isolation door.

It is very difficult for passengers in the hard seat car to enter the sleeper car through this door.

After communication, the attendant opened the isolation door, and Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi came to the hard seat compartment.

Because it was not a holiday, there were many people in the hard seat carriage, but it was not as crowded as during the Spring Festival when there was no place to stand.

However, the carriage was filled with a strange smell, which was very uncomfortable after smelling it for a long time.

At this moment, Su Nanzhi couldn't care about anything else.

The two men borrowed two sets of clothes from the flight attendant, took a broom and a dustpan in their hands, and pretended to clean.

She and Gu Xizhou used a broom to clean up the garbage under the seats. While making sure that there were no suspicious items hidden under the seats, their eyes occasionally fell on the luggage rack above to rule out the possibility that the black leather bag was placed there.

However, in this day and age, most of the things sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives are similar. You can see four or five identical black cowhide bags on the luggage rack of a carriage.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the two people's search.

However, the things in the black cowhide bag are square, so it can eliminate a lot of things.

"Comrade, didn't we just clean this morning? Why do we have to clean again in the evening?"

An old lady stuffed a sack full of sweet potatoes under her seat and asked curiously.

Wearing a mask, Su Nanzhi's eyebrows curved, and she was very calm. "Auntie, didn't the leader say that we need to check? Otherwise, we would also like to rest."

The aunt nodded in understanding, "You have to listen to your boss, otherwise you'll be criticized."

The passengers around also heard the conversation between Su Nanzhi and the aunt, and began to discuss it.

Some of them took the initiative to pull out their luggage from under their seats without waiting for Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou to clean their seats, so that Su Nanzhi could make it easier to clean.

A tall woman in the corner had a gloomy look in her eyes. Her gaze swept over Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou, and finally fell on Su Nanzhi.

Gu Xizhou, who was standing beside Su Nanzhi, was sweeping the floor while his sharp eyes swept over everyone in the car. Finally, his gaze fell on the tall woman who had kept her head down.

Soon, Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou cleared the seat where the tall woman was sitting.

Sitting next to the tall woman was an old lady.

"Comrade, I've dragged all my things out to make it easier for you to clean up."

Su Nanzhi nodded, bent down and put the broom under the seat. Apart from some melon seed shell crumbs, a black cowhide bag appeared in front of her.

Su Nanzhi's palms were sweating as she held the broom. She pretended to be calm and said, "Whose bag is this? How could you throw it on the ground?"

Gu Xizhou, who was standing by, quickly picked up the cowhide bag and stood in front of Su Nanzhi without making a sound.

His eyes fell directly on the tall woman.

The tall woman looked up, looking embarrassed as she was about to take the bag from Gu Xizhou's hand.

"Comrade, this is mine. The luggage rack couldn't hold it, so I put it on the ground. Thank you."

Su Nanzhi looked at the tall woman. The tall woman looked very ordinary and was dressed simply. At this moment, her eyes were full of fear as she looked at Gu Xizhou, just like any other country woman.

The corners of Gu Xizhou's mouth curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
