The middle-aged man's face turned pale. After he understood what Su Congwen said, he realized what the so-called white powder in the box was.
That's a man, that's a soldier!
Everyone understood this and looked at the box in awe, speechless.
Lin Ya thought of her subtle rejection and disgust just now, and felt ashamed. How could she do such a thing?
The old lady also looked regretful. If she had known earlier, she would never let this person open the box no matter what. What kind of thing was this?
"White powder, isn't that..."
"Oh my god, isn't this person's behavior an insult to the martyrs?"
"That's too much! How can you touch other people's things casually?"
The onlookers were filled with indignation and began to criticize the middle-aged man.
"I'm sorry, I can't let you check the box." Su Congwen said to the police, "I went to Hebei Province to send him home. I don't want anyone to disturb him along the way."
On the last way home, he hoped that Brother Zhang would live in peace.
The public security officer nodded with a serious expression, "I understand."
"But please come with me to take a statement."
"Okay." Su Congwen nodded.
"And you." The police officer looked at Lin Ya, "Go too." Since this was the person involved, he naturally had to go with them.
"Okay... okay." Lin Ya was still a little scared, but when she looked at Su Congwen, she suddenly felt much calmer.
The police officer then turned to look at the panicked middle-aged man and said in a cold tone, "You are rummaging through personal belongings without permission. Come with me."
Insulting a soldier, especially a sacrificed soldier, cannot be let go like this!
The middle-aged man didn't dare to say a word and could only follow them away. This time, Su Congwen took all his belongings with him.
There was a police room on the train, and the police took several people there. He said a few words to his colleagues, and then the middle-aged man was taken aside for questioning.
Lin Ya and Su Congwen also recounted what happened.
After listening, the police nodded and said, "We've been aware of this small criminal gang for a long time. In the past year, they have repeatedly committed thefts and robberies on trains, even targeting women. We got the tip this time and were waiting on the train, ready to catch them red-handed."
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. The leader had been caught by them long ago. When they went to catch Biaozi and other accomplices, they found that Su Congwen had got there first.
"Comrade Su, it's all thanks to you today." The public security officer said to Su Congwen gratefully.
According to their description, the girl named Lin Ya was in a very dangerous situation at that time. If he had not arrived quickly and rescued the girl, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"It's my duty." Su Congwen said this again.
The police officer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, repeating, "Yes, it's my duty."
One of them is a public security officer and the other is a soldier. Although they have different divisions of labor, their responsibilities are ultimately to protect the lives and property of the people and to safeguard the peace and stability of the country.
"Then just sign your names. This is the end of the matter." The police gave the transcript to Lin Ya and Su Congwen for signature.
"We'll handle the rest. Don't worry, these guys are repeat offenders. They'll be punished for multiple crimes, and they'll have enough time to spend in jail."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Ya smiled gratefully.
The police nodded, returned the items they had found on Biaozi to Lin Ya, and warned her, "Little girl, next time you go out, don't wear this kind of gold and silver jewelry. It's too conspicuous and can easily attract attention. Be more careful yourself."
"I understand." Lin Ya nodded in shame. She was indeed too careless.
"Okay, let's go."
"Uh-huh."
Su Congwen and Lin Ya walked out of the flight attendant room. On the way back, Lin Ya thanked him in a low voice.
"Thank you for saving me."
"No need." Su Congwen said lightly.
Lin Ya looked at his cold face and said nothing more. She thought, if it were anyone else, he would also help.
After returning to her seat, the old lady greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Are you back? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Lin Ya said.
"This is really scary," the old lady said, patting her chest with a look of shock. "These people are so bold! They dared to rob people on the train. It's really outrageous."
When the two of them were not around, she had heard others talk about what had just happened.
"Comrade, would you like some fruit?" The old lady became even more welcoming after learning that Su Congwen was a soldier. "I have oranges here."
"No, thank you."
"Well..." The old lady looked at the box in his hand, thought for a while and said to Lin Ya, "Girl, how about I sit with you for a while, and I'll give this comrade his things here. He has to hold them all the time, and the things are heavy and tiring." She guessed that the man would not be able to come back so easily.
"Okay." Lin Ya agreed quickly.
The old lady sat over there, leaving the seat empty.
Su Congwen did not move, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
How could this be considered heavy? Only living people have weight. For those who have passed away, only the thought of returning home remains to support their light souls.
Seeing him close his eyes, Auntie and Lin Ya stopped talking for fear of disturbing his rest.
The middle-aged man never came back, and they were happy not to be disturbed by any annoying people.
After the train crossed mountains and rivers and arrived in Hebei Province and entered Anding City, everyone was exhausted. The hard seats were really not meant for sitting on. After sitting for so long, their legs were swollen.
"The train has arrived. Please take your luggage and get off the train in an orderly manner." The broadcast sounded.
Su Congwen opened his eyes, and his vision was clear.
"Comrade, we're here." The old lady said with a smile.
"Yeah." Su Congwen nodded slightly, "I'll go first."
"Okay, safe."
"Thanks."
Su Congwen was about to get off the train carrying his luggage.
"Hey!" Lin Ya called him, "Can you tell me your name?"
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to know the name of the person who saved me."
"No need." Su Congwen said, "Just remember that I am a soldier."
After saying this, he strode away.
Lin Ya was behind him, watching him leave from afar, and only withdrew her gaze when Su Congwen disappeared in the crowd.
She pursed her lips, feeling some inexplicable emotions in her heart.
"Daughter, what are you thinking about?" Lin Ya's father, who came to pick up his daughter, looked at her and asked curiously.
"Nothing." Lin Ya shook her head, putting aside the messy thoughts in her mind, "Let's go, Dad."
"Oh, okay."
The father and daughter gradually drifted apart.
Su Congwen took two more buses and walked a long way before finally arriving at his destination, Brother Zhang's hometown, Daxing Village, Xiliang Town, Anding City.
As soon as he walked into the village entrance, he saw the yellow horn tree that Brother Zhang had mentioned.
