Chapter 427 Accident on the Train
When Zhao Shengrui and his father came back with lunch boxes, the carriage had been almost cleaned up. At least a layer of cotton was laid on the berths, so there was no need to worry about unsanitary issues.
"I think everyone is hungry, right? Let's eat first and clean up later! The food on the dining car isn't that great, but it's okay. You can give them a little more money and ask them to help steam some egg custard so that the children can eat."
Tang Yue took out the meat sauce she made in the space, otherwise she would not be able to eat the rice, which was lacking in oil and salt. If there was no meat sauce for rice, how would she get through the next few days?
Every time Tang Yue took the train, she missed the current express train very much. It takes three days at this speed, but nowadays it may only take one day.
When it was time to go to bed at night, fortunately the children were happy to sleep with the adults as long as they were coaxed into bed. Each person would hold one in their arms and sleep until midnight, when they heard noisy noises outside.
As soon as Zhao Shengrui heard the noise outside, he got up and went outside. "Wife, when I get out, quickly lock the door. I'll go and see what happened."
Tang Yue quickly went to lock the car door, not knowing what was going on.
She could understand Zhao Shengrui's actions. After all, he was a soldier of the people and he would go wherever there was trouble.
When Zhao's mother saw her old son running away, she was worried and angry. She was worried about her old son's safety, afraid that he might be in danger, and she was angry at those who were looking for trouble. She felt uneasy every day.
Worried that her daughter-in-law would have wild thoughts, she quickly comforted him, "Yueyue, don't worry, the brat will be back soon, go to sleep first, and I'll open the door for him when he comes back."
Father Zhao came up from the upper bunk and wanted to go out to see what happened and see if he could help. After all, he had been in the army for decades and was still quite strong. Although he was old and his health had declined, he could still knock down one or two people.
Unfortunately, before he could act, he was stopped by Zhao's mother. "You old man, you don't even know how old you are now, you want to go out and show off. I didn't even let my old son go out, let alone you. Stay here honestly. If the incident spreads here, you won't protect us. There are so many people, and you just leave?"
"Besides, we finally have a peaceful life, but you start to meddle in other people's business again. If something happens, will your son protect you or others? You'd better not go out and cause trouble."
Father Zhao felt that the old woman looked down on him, but when he saw her tugging at his sleeves and refusing to let him go with such a stubborn look on her face, he let her go.
The most important thing is that he feels guilty towards the old woman. He has been fighting for decades and has made her worry for decades. Now he has finally retired and has lived a peaceful life for two years. He really doesn't want to let her worry.
"Okay, I won't go anymore, let go quickly, aren't you embarrassed by so many people watching you?"
Tang Yue quickly turned her head and pretended not to see it. If her mother-in-law saw her looking at her, she might be embarrassed.
Zhao's mother looked to the side and saw that everyone else was sleeping and her daughter-in-law didn't look over here. She breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that her daughter-in-law must have heard it, since she didn't look over here, she could also pretend that her daughter-in-law didn't know.
"Yueyue, go to sleep quickly. We don't know when Shengrui will be back. He will definitely knock on the door when he comes back. Go and rest first. Old man, you should also go and rest. There's no need to wait for him."
Tang Yue lay down directly on the bunk, but she couldn't fall asleep at this moment. She was always thinking about Zhao Shengrui. She didn't know what happened outside and whether he would come back soon.
After Zhao Shengrui came out of the carriage, he saw a commotion in the carriage in front of him. He walked over and found that many people's money was missing.
Because this car was the first to discover the problem, then the cars next to it also started to check to see if any money was missing, and then they discovered that car was also missing, and after a final count, they found that almost all the money of people in three cars was gone.
This was a gang crime. After all, so much money was missing in just one day. There was a platform almost at dawn. If the money could not be recovered before dawn, it would be difficult to recover the money if the thieves got off the train.
Zhao Shengrui had served in the army for so many years, and it was not in vain. He showed his ID to the flight attendants and then started to help them look for it.
Walking along the carriages, he found one or two people looking strange in almost every carriage. Even in the carriages where no money was missing, there were people looking strange.
It seems that there is an insider in the carriage where the money is short. There are three carriages in total, with hundreds of passengers. He told the chief conductor about the people he found to be abnormal, and asked him to gather all the crew members, arrest those people first, and then start interrogating them.
Although some people escaped when they were being arrested, they were all caught in the end.
Zhao Shengrui started to help with the interrogation again. After all, he was considered a professional. After the interrogation, he arrested all the people who had escaped the net. In the end, a total of sixteen people were arrested.
Unexpectedly, these 16 people were all from the same village. They wanted to kidnap some women to be their wives during the New Year when there were many people around. However, they saw that some of the people in the carriage were very rich, and they couldn't control their lust. Unexpectedly, they were exposed in the end.
"Captain, when we hand them over to the police tomorrow, let them examine them again. This is definitely not their first time. Let the police go to their village and see if there are many abducted women there. This may not be a small case."
Zhao Shengrui was particularly worried. He didn't know how many girls had been abducted and sold. When he returned, he would look around to see if there were any familiar comrades here and ask them to help keep an eye on them.
When he finished all the work and returned to the carriage, it was already dawn outside. He was worried that his wife had been waiting for him and hadn't gone to bed, so he hurried back.
When Zhao Shengrui returned to the carriage, he pushed the door but it didn't open. He originally wanted to wait outside and ask them to open the door when they got up.
But I didn't expect to hear the sound of the door opening after just two steps.
"Brother Shengrui, come in quickly, where do you want to go? Isn't the matter over yet?"
Tang Yue waited for a whole night and felt very sleepy, but she just couldn't fall asleep. She kept waiting until dawn outside, when she finally heard some movement outside.
At first I thought it was someone else, but after a quick scan with my mental power, I realized it was my own husband who was outside. Judging from his appearance, he was probably afraid of disturbing everyone's sleep and was preparing to leave.
