Chapter 9 Cold Light



Lin Yian poured hot water for himself with one hand and rubbed his neck with the other hand.

It's really killing me.

The wooden bench was uncomfortable to sit on, not to mention that she had already slept on it for two days.

She could hear her own neck cracking.

But fortunately we can arrive at the station today.

After Lin Yian poured the water, he planned to drink it before going back. There were still many people sitting on the ground and sleeping in the aisle.

It's too much trouble to carry the water back.

At this time, a smell of smoke wafted over from the side.

Lin Yian couldn't help but wrinkled her nose. What she hated most was the smell of cigarettes.

Some people come here to smoke so early.

It seems that the addiction to smoking is quite strong...

Lin Yian quickened the pace of drinking water, and after finishing it, he calmly turned around and left the connection between the carriages.

The moment he turned around, Lin Yian slowly exhaled.

She just came to get a glass of water because she didn't want to sleep on the wooden bench.

Why did I meet a man with a knife in his arms!

At first, Lin Yian just moved away because she hated the smell of smoke, and her dodging happened to put her in a position with a tricky angle.

Now the sky outside the window is just getting light.

The sunlight just happened to shine on the knife in the man's arms, reflecting a cold light that shone on Lin Yian's eyes.

Fortunately, the man was immersed in a cigarette, and the entire connection between the carriages was filled with smoke.

Otherwise I'm afraid...

It's not strange to bring a knife with you when you go out. Maybe it's for cutting some fruit, or maybe it's something you bought for your own use...

Forget it, she can’t fool herself!

This guy would put the knife in his arms and hide it so well.

It won't be a good thing anyway.

Since this person was smoking there, his seat must be not far from their carriage.

Let's tell the conductor first.

Lin Yian carefully walked past the sleeping people in the aisle and searched for the conductor in each carriage.

Finally, two conductors who were changing shifts were found at the junction of the hard seats and sleeper berths.

Zhu Meng had worked the night shift and was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He yawned uncontrollably as he handed over his shift to his colleagues.

"I'm finally done with this night shift. I'm going to go back and get some sleep."

"Go ahead. I've prepared food for you in your lunch box. Eat and then go to sleep."

"Hello, comrade. I found something I want to tell you."

Hearing the voice, Zhu Meng turned around and looked.

He had some impression of this girl, she should be an educated youth who went to the countryside.

"Comrade, what do you want?"

Zhu Meng and his colleague Zuo Ruo, who came to hand over the shift, were both shocked after listening to Lin Yian's description.

Zhu Meng calmed down and looked at the girl in front of him: "Comrade, this matter is not a joke. Are you sure you saw clearly that the man was carrying a knife?"

"Well, but I can't be sure whether it was a knife or... because at that time, there was only light reflecting off the blade."

Zhu Meng felt a little bit troubled. If such a dangerous person really got on board, he might have accomplices, and then everyone on the train would be in danger.

Zuo Ruo tugged at Zhu Meng's sleeve and said, "Zhu Meng, there are a few military comrades in the hard sleeper."

The two train attendants would definitely not be able to make a decision in this situation, as the military comrades are definitely better fighters than them!

Zhu Meng nodded and said, "Zuo Ruo, take this comrade to talk to those soldiers and then go find the conductor. I'll go to carriage 18 to check."

Carriage 18 is the car where Lin Yian and his friends are.

Zuo Ruo couldn't hide the worry in his eyes: "Then be careful. Comrade, come with me."

"good."

Lin Yian nodded and followed Zuo Ruo towards the hard sleeper car.

Zhu Meng also took out a short stick from the lounge and hid it in his sleeve. If anything really happened, at least he would have a handy weapon.

Although Ji Zebai and the other two were sleeping on the train, they still remained instinctively alert.

Even Lin Jiancheng, who was still seriously injured, was like this.

They have become accustomed to using the shortest possible deep sleep to restore their energy, and can wake up promptly from deep sleep at any time.

So when the two footsteps stopped where they were, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time.

Ji Zebai and Lin Jiancheng were both sleeping on the lower bunk. The first people Ji Zebai saw were a conductor and a young girl.

"Comrade, could you please get up and come out with us?"

Zuo Ruo asked Fang Chi who was sleeping in the middle bunk, because one of the two people sleeping in the lower bunk had his arm in a sling and the other had a pale face, and it was obvious that they were injured.

It’s better to find someone who looks healthy and capable of fighting.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Fang Chi put on his coat, got down from the middle bunk swiftly, and followed the two people to the conductor's lounge at the other end.

After a moment, Fang Chi called Ji Zebai over with a slightly serious expression.

"...Brother Ze, this is roughly the situation. The next stop is only 30 minutes away, but currently only Comrade Lin has seen that person."

After listening to Fang Chi's retelling, Ji Zebai couldn't help but feel that the situation was a bit tricky.

Lin Yian didn't expect that this handsome and casual-looking man who came later was the leader of the group.

If he wasn't wearing a military uniform, you really wouldn't be able to tell that he is a soldier.

"Comrade, can you take me to the person you saw? My teammates and I will ensure your safety."

The most important thing right now is to find the suspect, but except for the girl in front of him, no one else has seen what he looks like, so Ji Zebai is also prepared for what to do if the person in front of him refuses.

Lin Yian nodded: "Okay, but you have to wear military uniforms..."

She didn't want to have a bomb hidden around her that could explode at any time, even if it was a dud.
