In an instant, the silver needle silently pierced the acupoint on the back of the fat man's neck!
This is a specially made anesthetic needle she got from the space medicine laboratory; it works quickly and has no side effects.
The fat man had barely taken two steps when his body suddenly went limp, as if he were drunk, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, the fat man fell to the ground, bag and all, unconscious.
The passengers in the corridor were startled and quickly gathered around.
"Oh dear! What's wrong with this person?"
"Is he having a relapse?"
"Quick! Call the train police!"
When the train police arrived, Su Tang calmly walked over, pointed to the briefcase on the ground, and said to the two train police officers who had rushed over after hearing the news:
"Officer, this man is a thief. He just stole this bag from our private room."
One of the younger train police officers frowned and looked Su Tang up and down: "Young lady, you saw it?"
"Yes, I saw it." Su Tang nodded. "I just came back from the bathroom and saw him steal the bag from the guy in the upper bunk. I called out to him, and he probably felt guilty and fell down."
She downplayed her actions.
Another older train police officer, who was more experienced, squatted down to check the fat man's breathing and then examined his eyelids, looking puzzled.
"He's alright, he just fainted."
He stood up, his gaze towards Su Tang filled with scrutiny: "You said he collapsed after you called out once?"
Su Tang looked innocent: "Yeah, maybe I did something wrong and got scared."
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the private room came out after hearing the commotion.
When he saw the briefcase on the ground, his face turned pale instantly!
He rushed over in three strides, snatched the briefcase, and hugged it tightly to his chest, his hands trembling.
"My bag! My bag!" He checked the bag and, finding nothing missing, breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked up at Su Tang, his eyes filled with shock and gratitude:
"Young comrade, thank you! Thank you so much!"
The older train police officer immediately knew what was going on when he saw the bag; there must be something important inside.
He said to the middle-aged man, "Comrade, would you please come with us to the office to make a statement?"
He then said to the young train police officer, "Take this thief away and interrogate him properly!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said to Su Tang, "Young comrade, come along too, you are a witness."
Su Tang followed them to the railway police office.
She spoke slowly and deliberately: "Officer, I think this thief is not simple."
The older train police officer said, "Oh, what do you mean?"
“Ordinary thieves would steal some money and run away. But this person had a very clear target; he was after this comrade’s briefcase.”
Su Tang paused for a moment, then continued her analysis:
"Moreover, this train is crowded and full of people. The fact that he dared to make a move in the sleeper car shows that he is very bold and is likely a repeat offender, or even has accomplices behind him."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man tightened his grip on his bag, and the way he looked at Su Tang changed.
This girl has such a keen eye for observation!
The older police officer also became serious: "You mean, they might still resort to violence?"
“Very likely,” Su Tang said with certainty. “Since he fainted, there’s no guarantee that no one else will be there to help him. I suggest you increase patrols tonight, especially around our private room.”
"Also, you'd better search this thief carefully to see if there are any strange marks or items on him."
The young train police officer was stunned and couldn't help but mutter, "How do you, a woman, know so much?"
Su Tang smiled slightly: "My uncle works for the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. I've heard him talk about cases since I was a child."
It's perfectly reasonable for her to bring up her uncle, Lin Wenbo.
The middle-aged man immediately said to the train police officer, "Officer, I think this young man makes a lot of sense! There are indeed some very important research materials in my briefcase, and they absolutely cannot be lost! Please make sure to ensure their security!"
With the middle-aged man's endorsement, the older train police officer dared not be negligent and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, we will arrange for people to keep a close watch tonight!"
After giving her statement, Su Tang and the middle-aged man returned to the private room together.
The middle-aged man solemnly thanked Su Tang: "Young comrade, we really owe you a lot today."
