Chapter 492
There weren't that many people in the sleeper car, and it didn't take long for Su Miao's side to be checked.
After checking several people's tickets and IDs, the police officer pointed to the empty middle and upper berths and asked, "Where are the two passengers here?"
Auntie Tan replied, "The two young men's friend was in another carriage. He was not feeling well, so they went to take care of him."
"Two young men? What are their names? What do they look like?" the police officer continued to ask.
"Um... one is surnamed Zhang and the other is surnamed Li, they are cousins. They look... just like young men, nothing surprising."
Aunt Tan scratched her head, a look of embarrassment on her face. She really didn't know how to accurately describe the appearance of the two young men.
"Other comrades, please help recall what these two young men looked like. What accents did they speak? Did they behave in any strange way? Which station did they get on the train from?"
Upon seeing this, the police turned their attention to Su Miao and others in the same compartment.
Teacher Ding thought for a moment and replied, "They are both about 25 years old, both quite thin, one is 1.7 meters tall, and the other is taller, about 1.75 meters.
He didn't talk much, and apart from eating and going to the bathroom, he didn't do anything else. Oh, right! The taller guy has a mole on his chin, right here."
As Teacher Ding spoke, he gestured at his chin with his hand and described the man's characteristics in detail to the police.
Aunt Tan also realized by now and quickly added, "They speak Mandarin with the same 'stinky green' sound as me, so they must be from Guangxi. However, they didn't get on the bus from Yongcheng, but got on in Guangxi City."
The flight attendant stood by and had been paying attention to the situation here. After hearing these descriptions, he nodded slightly.
He moved closer to the public security comrades and said in a low voice:
"These should be the two. Should we notify the other groups?"
A police officer shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "We haven't seen anyone yet, so we can't be 100% sure. We must not alert the enemy. There are too many passengers on the bus, and they even brought..."
He stopped talking before he finished, and his deliberately lowered voice was only heard by the few people around Su Miao.
Su Miao was originally sitting on the upper bunk watching all this silently. When she heard what the public security comrade said, her heart suddenly moved. She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:
"Comrade Public Security, when those two people leave, please ask Aunt Tan to help look after a bag."
"Luggage bag? Where is it?" When the police heard this, he instantly became alert, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Aunt Tan.
Aunt Tan was a little flustered by the sudden attention and she stood up subconsciously.
With a trembling finger, he pointed at the black luggage bag beside him and said in a trembling voice, "This is it. Those two guys asked me to help look after it for a while."
The police officer nodded slightly to show that he understood, then gestured to Aunt Tan to move aside a little, and then carefully opened the luggage bag.
While they stopped here to ask questions, the movement in the carriage had already attracted the attention of many passengers.
Some curious passengers poked their heads out from their bunks and looked around curiously.
At this moment, the air in the carriage seemed to freeze in an instant, everyone held their breath, and the entire carriage was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
When the luggage bag was fully opened, several packages of items tightly wrapped in black plastic bags were revealed.
The police used a knife to cut open the plastic bags, revealing a transparent bag in one bag, which seemed to contain white powder. Another bag also revealed something that looked like a gun handle, and the metallic luster was chilling.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise in the carriage, and the passengers around subconsciously stepped back, their eyes filled with fear and shock.
Some people even "slipped" back into their berths to hide so as not to be implicated. If a gunfight broke out, they would cover their faces with pillows!
The police stopped dismantling the bag and quickly zipped it up, then held it firmly in their hands.
Aunt Tan was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper. Her body was shaking constantly and she cried out:
"It's not mine! It's not mine! They really asked me to help watch it! It's none of my business!"
The police officer comforted Aunt Tan, saying, "Don't panic. We won't wrongly accuse innocent people. Now we need you and everyone else to carefully recall whether those two young men said anything unusual or behaved in any unusual way."
Su Miao thought that he seemed to have been inadvertently involved in a major case again.
She tried hard to recall every move of the two young men, and suddenly, she remembered a detail: when the two young men left the carriage, one of them seemed to look back at the luggage bag with an elusive look in his eyes.
"Comrade Public Security, I remember now. When they left, one of them looked back at the luggage bag with a strange expression." Su Miao said quickly.
When the public security officer heard this, his eyes lit up. He looked at Su Miao and asked seriously, "Are you sure? Can you describe his expression?"
Su Miao nodded, trying to recall the scene at that time, and said:
“I’m sure there was worry in his eyes, but also… a hint of pride, I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Originally, they wanted my dad to help look after the bags, but I thought it was a bit strange, so I didn't agree. Because they clearly had two bags, and they took one, but they insisted on leaving the other one with someone else, which didn't make sense."
When the public security comrades heard Su Miao say that they took away a package, they did not dare to take it lightly.
The information they received was that a drug dealer had bought a ticket with fake ID and sneaked onto the train. In addition to white powder, he also carried weapons, but it was not clear how many weapons he had.
That means there is a high possibility that there are also dangerous items in the bags they took away.
In order to avoid causing further panic among the passengers, the public security comrades left the attendant to comfort the passengers, and then took Su Miao, Su Yuanzheng, Aunt Tan and Teacher Ding to the carriage where they worked.
This was done by temporarily requisitioning a dining car. The public security comrades asked some questions one after another, and several people tried to answer them as detailed as possible.
During the journey, police officers who had received the news returned from other carriages, and some continued to check each carriage.
After the questioning, Captain Shi, one of the police officers who brought Su Miao and the others, explained to them:
"We received a tip from an informant that two drug traffickers had boarded the train with drugs and weapons, so we conducted an investigation."
