"What happened outside?" Qin Ying asked when she saw her daughter and the others coming back.
Before Su Qingyun had a chance to speak, the talkative Zhang Xiaofang couldn't wait to start telling her story.
"Aunt Qin, the man in our compartment was caught by the train police yesterday. He had prohibited items in his bag, and he was taken away very quickly."
"Prohibited items? What are those?" Qin Ying was a little surprised.
"There is a tiger skin in his bag!" Zhang Xiaofang said in an exaggerated tone.
"Tiger skin?" Qin Ying was even more shocked. "Then this matter is a bit serious." She knew the consequences of poaching.
"That's right. He was stubbornly refusing to admit it just now." Zhang Xiaofang shook her head. "But he was still caught red-handed."
"It's really satisfying!" She was already somewhat dissatisfied with what happened yesterday, and now she was in a very good mood.
But after saying this, she suddenly remembered that Su Qingyun knew that person.
Immediately, Zhang Xiaofang looked at Su Qingyun apologetically, "Qingyun, I'm sorry, I forgot that you knew him. I shouldn't have said that." At least you shouldn't have shown so much happiness in front of him.
"It's okay." Su Qingyun shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
"Yunyun, do you know him?" Qin Ying looked over in confusion. "Who is he?"
"I've only met him once. He's Uncle Yuan Nan's cousin." Su Qingyun said concisely.
After hearing Yuan Nan's name, Qin Ying didn't ask any more questions. After all, there were too many people here to talk about what happened between Yuan Nan and Ai Min.
"Yunyun, let's go buy some breakfast." Qin Ying thought for a moment and said to her daughter, "Ayue, Xiaofang, what do you two want to eat? Auntie will bring it to you."
"I'm fine with anything, Auntie." Zhang Xiaofang smiled brightly.
Ji Yueyue was a smart man. He knew that Qin Ying said this because the mother and daughter wanted to talk alone, so he said, "Auntie, let's go buy food together, Mr. Zhang and I."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaofang was confused.
"Let's go." Ji Yue went out directly.
Zhang Xiaofang didn't understand why, but she followed him out anyway.
"Yunyun, what happened? What happened to the person who was caught?" Qin Ying asked Su Qingyun with a serious face.
"Wasn't there a quarrel over there yesterday? I went over to take a look and found out that the man was Uncle Yuan Nan's cousin, Wang Lei. Uncle Yuan Nan had asked Dad to find him a job before, and Dad agreed, so he found him a job as a warehouse keeper in the fleet. The monthly salary is around ten yuan, which is pretty good. That's all I know."
"But for some reason, he doesn't seem to have done it at the fleet. Yesterday, when I went to the restroom, I saw him holding a bag that looked suspicious, so I asked him a few questions, but he denied it. I didn't think much of it. Then just now, the conductor said that someone had reported him for having prohibited items in his bag, so he was arrested."
Su Qingyun explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Qin Ying frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "You talked to him last night, and he was reported this morning. He wouldn't suspect you did it, right?"
Nothing else matters, but she is a little worried that this man named Wang Lei will hold a grudge against her daughter.
"It doesn't matter. The innocent will be innocent. Besides, what he did was illegal in the first place." Su Qingyun really didn't take this matter to heart.
Not to mention that she was not the one who reported it, even if she did, she would not be afraid of retaliation.
"Okay, Mom, don't think too much. You should think about where we should go when we get to the capital." Su Qingyun changed the subject.
This sentence successfully diverted her attention. Qin Ying looked out the window, her eyes drifting away. Outside the window, white clouds were floating and green mountains were receding.
Where to go? There are so many places, so many places she misses day and night.
Seeing her mother lost in thought, Su Qingyun couldn't help but smile.
Soon, Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaofang came back with breakfast. The breakfast served on the train consisted of steamed buns and steamed bread. Although simple, the taste was pretty good.
After breakfast, some of them started doing their homework, some read books, and some chatted from time to time. Time passed quickly, and it was not boring.
On the other side, Wang Lei, who was taken away, was taken off the train at an intermediate stop.
In the police office at the station, several train police officers looked at him seriously, and the tiger skin was placed on the table.
The leading flight attendant knocked on the table. "Wang Lei, right? Tell me your story in detail and honestly."
"Do you understand?"
"I...I understand." Wang Lei stammered.
Wang Lei was originally a country man who had not seen much of the world. He had used up all his courage to take the risk to do this business. Now that he was caught, he was scared out of his wits. He just wanted to confess the truth and see if he could be dealt with again. He didn't want to really be put in jail.
"Where did you get this tiger skin?"
"They killed him, on the mountain."
The conductor frowned, emphasizing his tone as he asked a series of questions, "Who are they? What weapons were used to kill them? On which mountain? You must explain all the details clearly, otherwise how can we handle your case? It's difficult for us to judge."
"I...I know." Wang Lei licked his dry, chapped lips and swallowed hard, trying to recall all the details. "There were four of them in total. I don't know their names, only their nicknames."
"What question mark?" The conductor next to him picked up a pen and began to take notes.
"The big tiger, the wild bull, the giant elephant, and one called the lion, who is their boss." Wang Lei said obediently.
