Chapter 20 Could that pervert who was following me be an enemy spy?
"Hey, why was this guy arrested? Could he be a thief?"
"He looks shifty, so he must be. Well done on catching him!"
"Wife, please check our suitcases. Is there anything missing?"
The commotion just now attracted many passengers in the compartment to run out to watch the excitement. Some even stood on tiptoe to squeeze forward, for fear of missing this "good show".
But more people hurried to check their luggage.
It was around two or three in the afternoon, and many passengers were feeling sleepy. It would be bad if a thief took advantage of them.
As the short man was caught, the passengers around him talked about it in a flurry, and many of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing was stolen.
"Stop looking, please move aside!" The two men who caught the man escorted the short man towards Chen Zhaoyue.
Although the passengers didn't understand what was going on, they all consciously stepped aside to make way for a narrow passage.
When the short man was brought back with his hands handcuffed behind his back, his face was covered in bruises, blood was seeping from the corners of his mouth, and his right eye was so swollen that he could hardly open it. It was obvious that he had just received a severe beating. He was still gasping for breath and looked to be in great pain.
"Wen Tuan, the person has been caught."
"Um."
Wen Yanxi faced Chen Zhaoyue, his tall figure casting a shadow on her.
He lowered his head slightly, his sharp eyes looking straight at her: "Please come with us, there are some things I need to clarify."
"ha?"
Chen Zhaoyue's eyes widened, and he took a half step back in disbelief: "No way? The person has been caught, why are you still suspecting me?"
She felt like she was being wronged!
I was clearly just an ordinary passenger, and I hadn't even seen the short man's face clearly. How did I get implicated?
There was a hint of grievance in Chen Zhaoyue's voice, and his fingers unconsciously tightened the corners of his clothes.
She had heard in her previous life that in the past, people could be dragged into a struggle session for the slightest thing. At the very least, they would be scolded and humiliated, and at the worst... She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Comrade, I really don't know that person." Chen Zhaoyue tried to soften his tone and tried to argue for himself.
After all, the man in front of him didn't look like someone completely unreasonable.
Ke Wen Yanxi didn't say anything, but just turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.
His taut jawline looked particularly cold and hard in the dim light of the carriage, and he exuded an irresistible aura.
The aura was so strong that the surrounding passengers couldn't help but hold their breath. A few timid ones even quietly retreated to their berths, only daring to show a pair of eyes to secretly glance and watch.
Shen Zhaoyue pursed her lips and said nothing more.
"oh."
Just go, she has nothing to fear after all.
She returned to the compartment and picked up her small suitcase. The man who had helped her once kept his eyes on her, as if trying to prevent her from escaping.
“They really treat me as a suspect…” Shen Zhaoyue muttered softly.
Chen Zhaoyue originally thought that they would go to their carriage, but she didn't expect that Wen Yanxi would take her all the way through two carriages.
Because they were escorting someone, the passengers in the carriage, although curious, consciously made way.
The last few people stopped in the dining car.
The dining car, which should have been bustling with people, was now empty.
No, there were two people wearing flight attendant uniforms who had been waiting here early.
As they arrived, two train police officers came forward. After Wen Yanxi gave them a few instructions, they escorted the short man to the other end of the dining car.
"Please sit down!" One of the people who participated in the arrest gestured to Shen Zhaoyue in a tone that did not allow for refusal.
“…” Chen Zhaoyue didn’t do anything unnecessary and just found the nearest dining table to sit down.
The man with a powerful aura sat down opposite her, his slender fingers folded on the table.
"Tell me," Wen Yanxi leaned forward slightly, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's: "What is your relationship with him?"
"It doesn't matter." Chen Zhaoyue straightened his back and looked directly into the other person's eyes: "I don't know him."
Her voice was clear and firm, and because she had a clear conscience, she chose to answer truthfully without hesitation.
Although the man in front of him looks fierce, he can feel that he is not a bad person and even exudes integrity.
"He was just a hitchhiker. He even slipped a note to me. I guess it was some contact information?" She frowned slightly when she said this.
When she found the note, she was busy chasing the man. Later, the note was taken away by the man in front of her. She still doesn't know what was written on it.
This detail made her heart skip a beat - could there really be something wrong with the note?
"He even asked me if I was from Shanghai, as if he knew me very well. What a clumsy way to chat me up!" Chen Zhaoyue's speech speed unconsciously increased, with an undisguised look of disgust on his face.
Although Chen Zhaoyue acted very sincerely, her overly eagerness made the people present not believe her.
The man opposite kept looking at her with sharp eyes, making her feel a little uneasy for a moment.
Especially after she finished speaking, the sudden silence she faced made Shen Zhaoyue, who had never experienced such a situation, pursed her lips.
Wen Yanxi was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then he pushed the note in his hand in front of her with a stern face.
"Look at what's written on it."
Chen Zhaoyue took it with confusion, and when he unfolded it, he saw three numbers and two words scribbled on it - "7, 34, toilet".
"?" Chen Zhaoyue was stunned: "What does this mean?"
Wen Yanxi didn't answer, just looked at her.
Chen Zhaoyue didn't notice his gaze, her mind raced, pondering the meaning of the contents on the note.
"No way?" She looked up suddenly, disbelief written all over her face. "That creepy guy wanted to ask me to go to the bathroom? Is he crazy? Why would he think I would go?"
As she spoke, her voice suddenly rose in excitement: "If he doesn't find it disgusting, then I do. Ugh!"
As soon as the words fell, the air in the dining car seemed to freeze.
Wen Yanxi's brows twitched violently.
“…” The arrester who was taking notes next to him was even more shocked. The pen in his hand fell to the ground with a “click” sound, which was particularly crisp in the dead silence.
Being stared at by several people in shock, Shen Zhaoyue realized what he had shouted and coughed twice.
Her ears were burning red, and she cursed the short man in her heart - damn it, he said that people in the 1970s and 1980s were simple and honest, but this guy is playing even wilder than in the 21st century!
“Um…you…” The young man who was taking notes came back to his senses.
He opened his mouth several times, but it was as if his throat was being strangled. His whole face turned red and he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence.
Chen Zhaoyue's "tiger words" just now were too shocking for this young man who had just reached adulthood.
I can’t believe this little girl, who looks so quiet, actually knows so much.
He pushed his glasses up in panic and frantically searched for a spare pen, even his ears turned bright red.
"What exactly does the code on the note mean? You'd better tell the truth." Wen Yanxi took over the question in a deep voice and knocked his knuckles on the table twice.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the tips of the man's ears are also slightly flushed.
signal?
Chen Zhaoyue noticed the key words. If the short man was just an ordinary wretched man, she wouldn't have been interrogated so harshly.
She quietly looked at the expressions of the people opposite her - the man in the middle had a frown on his face, and the others were staring at her. The entire dining car was filled with a suffocating tension.
"That pervert following me, could he be...an enemy spy?"
This thought exploded in my mind like thunder.
