So, his only way to save himself was to... find another train and climb back on."
Lin Huowang's analysis was very clear and logical. As he spoke, he gestured in the air with his hands.
“It’s just that there are no trains going south that late.
I guess he must have climbed onto a northbound train first, hid while recovering from his injuries, and then found a chance to take a southbound train to leave..."
Lin Huowang's voice was calm and clear, and every word seemed to strike at everyone's heart.
"Oh, yeah!
Why didn't I think he might get back on a train?"
County Magistrate Xiong woke up as if from a dream. He slapped his head and a look of regret appeared on his face.
"An ordinary person with an injured leg would definitely not be able to climb up, but Scar Liu is a climbing expert, so this is not a difficult task for him."
“County Magistrate Xiong, please contact the railway system immediately and ask if any large amounts of blood were found during the recent sweep of trains traveling from south to north.
Then notify the trains heading south; it should still be in time so the railway troops can conduct a focused inspection.
Scar Liu has obvious features. When he shows his face, he has a scar on his face and a lame right leg. When he doesn’t show his face, he has a lame right leg and his face is tightly wrapped.”
After Lin Huowang sorted out his thoughts, he quickly asked County Mayor Xiong to communicate with the railway system.
His eyes were determined and his tone was urgent, as if he was racing against time.
In this era, the Ministry of Railways was a behemoth, far from being comparable to its later split.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Ministry of Railways is as large as a country. It is even larger and more complete than some small European countries.
The Ministry of Railways has its own schools, hospitals and other institutions and facilities, and even its own army - the Railway Corps.
The person County Magistrate Xiong wanted to contact was the leader of the Ministry of Railways who was in charge of the entire Northeast Railway Bureau.
County Mayor Xiong immediately picked up the phone and began communicating with a serious expression.
On the other end of the phone, the leaders of the Ministry of Railways were a little hesitant at first. After all, mobilizing railway troops to conduct inspections was not a trivial matter.
But after County Magistrate Xiong's persuasion and detailed explanation of Scar Liu's danger and the importance of this pursuit, the other party finally agreed to send out railway troops to check along the route.
That afternoon, a discovery was made!
On a freight train heading north to Harbin, a large amount of unexplained bloodstains were found in a carriage.
The blood had dried up, forming dark red marks on the floor of the carriage. It was obvious that someone had been seriously injured and collapsed and was hiding here.
"Awang!
You really got it right!"
County Magistrate Xiong was so excited that his voice changed. He suddenly stood up from his chair, his face full of excitement and surprise.
This discovery at least proves that Scar Liu did not disappear out of thin air, nor did he hide on the spot. It is very likely that he was still thinking of fleeing to the south, as Lin Huowang speculated.
In this way, as long as we set up tight defenses on the southbound train, the possibility of catching him will be greatly increased.
"very good!
County Magistrate Xiong, now it all depends on the luck of the railway soldiers..."
A relieved smile also appeared on Lin Huowang's face, but he knew that he couldn't take it lightly.
Scar Liu is a cunning fox. No one can guarantee that they can capture him successfully until the last moment.
Lin Huowang waited for another day, and finally received definite news from the Ministry of Railways: he was caught!
Scar Liu, who escaped one after another, was finally captured by railway soldiers on a train about to leave Shanhaiguan. The process was both coincidental and thrilling.
Scar Liu disguised himself as an ordinary passenger, endured the severe pain from his leg injury, and tried hard to make himself look almost not limping when he walked.
He wrapped his face and pretended to have a cough and typhoid fever, and cleverly avoided the railway soldiers' inspections several times.
Every time the railway soldiers approached, his heart was in his throat, but he relied on the calmness he had acquired from years of escape to get away with it time and time again.
But when he got out of Shanhaiguan, Scar Liu changed to another train.
He felt that he was far enough away from Baishan County that the wanted order and news would not be able to reach here. So much time had passed and no one would remember the scar on his face.
Moreover, the wind and snow died down after they entered the country. Keeping his face covered would arouse suspicion, so he revealed his face.
Anyway, if someone asks you about the origin of the scar on your face, just make up a reason.
But he never expected that Lin Huowang would accurately predict his whereabouts.
With the full cooperation of County Magistrate Xiong, the entire Northeast Railway Bureau dispatched thousands of railway soldiers, and all southbound trains along the line were subject to key inspections, with all of his characteristics kept in mind.
So, when Scar Liu boarded the train heading south to Guangzhou with the conspicuous scar on his face, he was immediately spotted by at least three railway soldiers.
Two of the railway soldiers saw that he was not limping, so they shook their heads and paid no more attention.
But the experienced railway soldier Li Weiguo keenly discovered that although Scar Liu walked normally, his body would always shake slightly unnaturally every time he exerted force with his right leg.
Li Weiguo's mind moved. He did not alert the enemy, but followed quietly.
In the carriage, Li Weiguo found an opportunity to pretend to fall accidentally, and stepped on Scar Liu's right leg.
With this kick, Scar Liu felt as if the wound on his right leg was torn open. The excruciating pain made him curse in pain:
"You're f**king blind!"
Just as he opened his mouth to curse, Li Weiguo quickly grabbed one of his hands and handcuffed him in the blink of an eye.
Scar Liu was terrified. He didn't expect that he would be exposed at this time.
He hurriedly took out the revolver in his arms with his other hand and shot Li Weiguo.
