This is a clear and important clue.
Shao Jingque immediately turned to the young soldier and said:
"Let's go to the conductor right now and explain the situation. Check each car for the short man with the big black mole on the left corner of his mouth. Pay attention to whether he's wearing a hat or not. We need to hurry and try to find him before the train stops at the next station."
As long as we are sure that the person is on the train, we can definitely find him. If he gets off the train, it will be difficult to find him.
"good!"
The young soldier nodded in admiration, full of admiration in his heart. Even the family of their Battalion Commander Lu was so powerful.
The two turned around and were about to leave when someone grabbed Shao Jingque's sleeve. When he turned around, he saw that it was the girl.
She looked at Shao Jingque timidly, as if she was afraid that she would leave:
"Sister, can you stay with me? I'm scared to be alone..."
Just now, a group of people around her were making all kinds of sarcastic accusations against her, but only Shao Jingque and this soldier stood up to speak for her. She unconsciously regarded the two of them as her support on the train.
Now that both of them were about to leave, the little girl suddenly became panicked.
Shao Jingque looked at the dim environment in the train compartment, and considering the behavior of the people around her just now, she knew that it was normal for the little girl to be afraid, so she said softly:
"It's okay. Just sit here and wait. I have a task for you. These two pieces of luggage are ours. Please take care of them for us until we come back. We'll be back soon."
Find her something to do to distract her from her tension and anxiety, and the waiting time will be much more bearable.
Shao Jingque's tone was gentle, and her words made people feel at ease. When the girl heard Shao Jingque say that she needed to look after the luggage, she immediately nodded seriously and said:
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take good care of your luggage this time and I won't fall asleep."
Shao Jingque and the young soldier quickly found the conductor. With their military status as a guarantee, the conductor did not hesitate at all about the situation they reported. He quickly called another conductor and formed two teams with Shao Jingque. They split into two groups and checked from the front and rear of the train towards the middle.
Not long after, the young soldier received news that a short man who was very similar to the suspect's description was found in a carriage at the rear of the train. A 15-centimeter-long sharp knife and more than 300 yuan in cash were found on him.
Because the man could not explain the origin of the large amount of cash on him and that he was illegally carrying a controlled knife, the two men took him to the conductor's workroom and temporarily detained him, preparing to hand him over to the station police after the next station arrived.
Shao Jingque also had an unexpected gain. There were many people on this train who took advantage of the passengers' sleep to steal things. She and the train conductor checked along the way and happened to catch a thief in the act of stealing.
When the little girl learned that the thief who stole her money was really caught and the money was recovered, she excitedly hugged Shao Jingque, crying and laughing, saying that Shao Jingque and the little soldier were her family's saviors.
However, to get the money back, she had to wait until the railway police interrogated the thief and confirmed the source of the stolen money before she could return it to her. Fortunately, the cadre with glasses was willing to testify for her, so there would be no problem getting the money back in the end.
The next stop is Shangdu, the capital of Henan Province. Shao Jingque and the little soldier will also get off at this stop.
Given how busy the Henan Provincial Command is, there is certainly no time to send a car to pick them up. The two of them had to take several more buses on their own before they could get to the Henan Provincial Command.
Before leaving, Shao Jingque asked the young soldier to help convey a message to the railway police, informing them that part of the stolen money was the life-saving money of the little girl's father, and hoped that it could be returned to the little girl as soon as possible after the facts were confirmed, so as not to delay her father's medical treatment.
With the young soldier coming forward, the railway police naturally would not shirk their responsibility, and would avoid putting the little girl in an awkward position.
It's no wonder that Shao Jingque is nosy. In this era, the legal system is not yet perfect, and many places still rely on personal connections and relationships. The little girl, who is alone, is bound to encounter unfair situations. Shao Jingque wants to help as much as possible.
After spending several hours together on the train, the little girl had already regarded Shao Jingque as her own sister. She cried bitterly when they parted, and was reluctant to be separated from her.
"Sister Jingque, I can't bear to leave you. Will we never see each other again? I haven't had time to treat you to a meal yet. Thank you for helping me get the money back. When my father recovers from his illness, I will definitely come to Ning City to treat you to a meal to make up for it!"
Shao Jingque was still worried about Lu Zhan's condition and could not waste any more time on the road, so he could only comfort her kindly and left her his contact address in Ning City and the phone number of the art troupe.
"Lingling, don't worry too much. Emphysema is usually a chronic disease. Let your father take good care of himself, quit drinking and smoking, and his condition will definitely improve."
"Also, you must listen to your doctor and take your medicine on time. If you encounter any difficulties again, give me a call and I will help you find a solution!"
Ding Ling nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes:
"Got it. I'll listen to you, Sister Jingque. When my father is discharged from the hospital, I'll come to Ning City to find you and Wang Tao!"
The young soldier named Wang Tao blushed and immediately looked away. This was the first time a girl said she wanted to see him!
Ding Ling reluctantly sent the two to the police station. She had to stay in the police station to take a statement. If everything went well, she would be able to get the money back before noon, and she would have enough time to go to the hospital to pay for her father's hospitalization fees.
Shao Jingque looked at the bespectacled "state cadre" glancing at them intentionally or unintentionally from a distance, and felt a little uneasy.
Don’t let this guy who is afraid of trouble run away as soon as they leave?
Without witness identification, the identification process will definitely be much slower.
Shao Jingque thought about it, then walked towards him and said with a smile:
"Thank you, comrade. By the way, which unit are you from? I'll make you a banner in a minute. I'll make it as big as I can and send it to your unit."
When the man with glasses heard this, his brows immediately lit up with joy. He was hanging around here for no reason, wasn't he just worried that Shao Jingque and the others had forgotten what they promised him?
When she asked him this question, he pretended to be embarrassed and waved his hands:
"No, no, it's all as it should be... You don't need to make the biggest one, just a normal size will do. Just write something like 'bravely doing something righteous' or 'righteousness' or something like that. Don't be too exaggerated, just keep it low-key."
Shao Jingque was almost amused. He was quite polite, but not polite enough:
"Okay, keep a low profile, but you haven't told me which unit you're from yet?"
The man with glasses raised his hand to smooth his sparse bangs, then pushed his glasses up and answered seriously:
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hu Kaixuan, the acting village chief of Tunan Village, Heichun Town, Zhengfeng Township, Gaojin County, Shangdu City, Henan Province!"
