Chapter 13 Like a Big Fool
The door of the compartment was opened, and a middle-aged man in a flight attendant uniform came in.
"Comrade Zhang Ling, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to guard outside the door?"
“Uncle!” The flight attendant stood up excitedly and pointed at Lu Youyou, “I asked her a question but she kept evading the question. There must be something wrong!”
The middle-aged man said seriously: "Pay attention to your address when working!"
The little girl wanted to explain herself, but the middle-aged man just had her taken away.
Lu Youyou watched with interest, but she didn't know whether this person was truly impartial or just pretending.
The middle-aged man sat down with a warm expression on his face. He smiled before speaking: "Comrade Lu Youyou, I want to know something from you..."
After hearing the middle-aged man ask about her identity and whereabouts, Lu Youyou realized that the bag-searching process must have been completed.
There was no privacy at a time like this, but luckily she was careful and there was nothing inappropriate in her bag.
Lu Youyou nodded: "Just now that comrade kept asking me to explain the crime, I really have nothing to say."
The middle-aged man realized that his niece was so unreliable, and he cleared his throat awkwardly: "I'm sorry, she just started working and her work attitude is quite positive."
Lu Youyou continued to nod, not bothering to care. As long as she could get her mind clear while doing the work, it would be fine. She was afraid that saying a few more words to the young man would shorten her life.
The middle-aged man asked about the details of Lu Youyou’s contact with the female thief, and of course he did not forget the three “hidden weapons”.
Although it is indeed strange to carry a bunch of pens with you when you go out, there is no law prohibiting you from doing so, so Lu Youyou was very calm about it.
"One last question, Comrade Lu Youyou, have you ever learned Kung Fu?"
"My grandfather and mother are both doctors. They taught me acupuncture. Unfortunately, I don't have the talent and didn't learn how to give acupuncture. But I am pretty accurate at throwing things. At that time, I only had a pen, so I had to throw it."
The middle-aged man wrote down Lu Youyou's words one by one, and the questioning came to an end.
"We can only verify some details after we arrive at the station, so we have to trouble you to stay here for the rest of the journey. We hope you can cooperate with us."
Lu Youyou didn't expect there would be such a surprise: "No problem, I will definitely cooperate!"
A single room, she was so willing to do it, and there was someone guarding the door outside, it was too perfect.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Youyou asked, "Please wait a moment. I want to ask how the lady is doing?"
The middle-aged man smiled. This didn’t need to be kept secret: “It’s just a minor skin injury. It’s been treated.”
Lu Youyou felt relieved and smiled brightly towards the outside of the door, shutting out the incompetent rage of the relative outside. She could vaguely hear someone talking in the corridor.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Is there a problem? I know she's not a good person!"
"I've been told so many times to be steady and calm, but you almost made trouble on your first day. You are a flight attendant, not a police officer. Do your job well!"
"uncle……"
The sound gradually faded away, and Lu Youyou fell into a deep sleep.
——————
Nam Province, Anseong
This is a small southern town and also the final stop of this train.
Lu Youyou no longer had to go through the pain of being squeezed into the crowd and went to the railway police station surrounded by uniformed officers.
After another round of questioning, the same questions, the same answers, Lu Youyou, who had rested well, was probably the most relaxed one among all the parties involved.
She just saw the man in the Zhongshan suit. Although he no longer looked like he had been hit by a hurricane, he looked very haggard.
Of course the bag couldn't be given to him since the case hadn't been closed yet. He could only stare at the bag in the conductor's hand longingly, wishing he could hold it in his arms forever.
Yes, there were 100 Shanghai brand watches in the bag. According to the current selling price, the amount involved in the case has exceeded 10,000 yuan. It is definitely a major case.
Lu Youyou happened to pass by as she came out of the reception room. The man in Zhongshan suit was like a frightened bird. When he saw that it was her, he remembered that she seemed to be his savior, and he thanked Lu Youyou tremblingly.
"Thank you very much, comrade. If you hadn't helped me, I would have been dead. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. Um..."
Halfway through his speech, the man in Zhongshan suit actually started wiping his tears. He was just a purchasing manager and he couldn't afford the compensation even if he sold the goods!
Lu Youyou was stunned. She wasn’t good at comforting people. This, this, this…
"Comrade Lu!"
Lu Youyou quickly turned around and saw the middle-aged conductor waving at her. She immediately left the crying middle-aged man and walked over.
"Hello, do you have any questions?"
"We have already contacted the army and verified your identity. The army's procurement vehicle will pass by later. Just follow them."
Lu Youyou hesitated: "I sent a telegram to my fiancé before I came here. He should come to pick me up. I wonder if he has arrived yet."
"Then I'll have someone take you to the exit to ask?"
Lu Youyou nodded, thanked him, and followed him to the exit.
Ancheng Station is very small and you can see the edge at a glance, but I waited for half an hour and didn’t see a single person.
"Comrade Lu, why don't we go back first? The army's car will be here soon."
Lu Youyou said nothing, feeling like a fool.
After returning home, the young police officer poured her a glass of water and kindly comforted her: "Comrade Lu, don't worry. The soldiers are just like us police officers. Things may happen at any time, and they are busy day and night."
Lu Youyou curled the corner of her mouth. She didn't want to care about Gu Qingye anymore. Not only was she tired, but she was also feeling stale.
After a while, a military truck stopped at the door and a woman in her forties ran in hurriedly. She glanced around the hall and her eyes were fixed in one direction.
"Is that Comrade Lu Youyou?" Seeing Lu Youyou nod, he smiled and said, "My name is Li Sanhua, and I'm the lover of the battalion commander."
Without waiting for Lu Youyou to reply, he continued, "Captain Gu went on a temporary mission and asked me to pick you up before he left."
As she spoke, Li Sanhua leaned in and whispered, "I heard there was a train robbery. You must be scared, sister. It's okay. I'll go talk to them!"
Lu Youyou didn't say a word during the whole process. She just watched Li Sanhua rush to negotiate with the police station in a hurry. She spoke in a very loud voice and said that a soldier's wife must never be wronged.
Lu Youyou's lips curled up slightly, revealing her first smile since arriving in Ancheng. Thinking of the unlucky old lady on the train, Li Sanhua seemed to be more enthusiastic than her.
Before leaving, Lu Youyou was told that this was a major serial case and that no details could be disclosed until it was completely solved.
This is nothing, and Lu Youyou understands it, but it is not necessarily the case for the family members who came out to purchase on the truck.
No one wants to deal with the police, and the same goes for military families. They may not be afraid, but they always feel nervous when they enter the police station.
When we heard that someone was coming to pick someone up, and it was Captain Gu’s fiancée, everyone started talking about it.
Gu Qingye was well-known in the military/district. He had made great achievements in battle at a young age. His fiancée was always a topic of conversation whether she bullied others or was bullied.
