Chapter 57 Another Discovery
57
They boarded the 9:30 a.m. train and couldn't get a side seat. They had to negotiate with the people on the train for a long time before they could get one. It wasn't that they didn't want to stay in the middle, but they had too much stuff, and putting it in the middle blocked the aisle.
They wouldn't feel safe if they didn't sit here. The theft on the train last time had already left a shadow on them.
After all this hassle, more than an hour had passed. They hadn't eaten dinner. Tang Bei and his brothers were tired after a day of wandering around. After a simple meal of steamed buns, they sat down in their seats, squinting their eyes and began to sleep.
Lin Cuicui packed the food, and Tang Shengkai went to get some hot water, ready to cool it down for everyone to drink later.
Old Li had been on edge for the past few days, and with trouble sleeping at night, he looked considerably more haggard. Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui cared for him attentively, but without the means to sleep, it was still a bit disappointing.
Fortunately, this was the last train. They only had to get off the train and they would be there. No more hassles. Now that they were safely on the train, Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui felt much more relieved.
After going through several places and changing several trains, those spies shouldn't be able to find them, right?
Just when everyone had packed up and was beginning to feel drowsy, Tang Yue thought about checking the entire train to eliminate any dangerous elements.
Tang Yue's consciousness slowly enveloped the entire train. These past few days, she'd been able to choose the area of her consciousness at will. Before, she'd always covered large areas, even the open areas far outside the train, which was very draining.
She has been spending a lot of time on the train these days, and she has slowly been trying selective coverage, and has now achieved some success.
As she looked at each carriage, Tang Yue was surprised to find that the few people who got off the train with them in the morning and were called "stinky old nine" were also on this train, but they were four carriages away from them.
Tang Yue felt that it was impossible for her to go over and help them since it was so far away. Also, if they were always together and something happened, it would be difficult for them to explain.
Just as Tang Yue finished her examination and was about to withdraw her consciousness, she heard a dripping sound. At first, Tang Yue didn't pay attention, but after listening carefully for a few breaths, she found that the sound was unusual.
The sound seemed to have a certain pattern. Curious, Tang Yue followed her instincts to find the source of the sound. The location she finally located left her feeling embarrassed.
The sound came from the toilet. She certainly didn't have the habit of watching people go to the bathroom. Could it be a normal human sound? But it didn't sound like it.
Tang Yue carefully felt the person's breathing again. The person's breathing was very shallow, which was different from the breathing rhythm when satisfying physiological needs. Tang Yue did not hesitate any longer and looked directly into the toilet.
Under the dim light, a man in a black coat and a round felt hat covering most of his face was standing in the toilet, holding a black box-like object in one hand and pressing up and down on a handle on the black box with the other hand.
Tang Yue looked closely at the man's expression and felt that something was amiss. She didn't recognize the object, but she was certain it wasn't for fun or entertainment; it was clearly a signaling technique.
But how can the signal be transmitted by using that black box?
Tang Yue didn't understand, but seeing that her parents looked drowsy, she didn't know who to ask.
Tang Yue thought, forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway. After running all day, she wanted to take a break.
Thinking of this, I withdrew my consciousness and closed my eyes.
But after a few breaths, Tang Yue suddenly opened her eyes. She was still worried. And she remembered who to ask for advice.
Seeing Tang Shengkai's head start to move up and down, she gently pushed Tang Shengkai, "Hmm?"
Tang Shengkai opened his eyes and saw his daughter looking at him. He rubbed his face and said, "Well, daughter, what's wrong with you? Do you want some water? Daddy will pour you some."
Tang Yue leaned close to Tang Shengkai's ear and whispered, "Dad, I noticed that the people who sat opposite us this morning are also on this car. I'll go over and say hello to them."
Tang Shengkai's sleepiness disappeared when he heard that his daughter wanted to run away. He didn't dare let her run away alone, it was too dangerous.
Looking at the carriage with the lights off, Tang Shengkai was worried. "My daughter, we'll be sitting here for several days. Can you wait until tomorrow to go?"
Tang Yue looked at Tang Shengkai, "Dad, this will only be better if those watching them fall asleep."
Tang Shengkai thought about it and sat up straight. "Oh, let's go. Dad will go with you."
As he said this, he reached out to wake Lin Cuicui up and let her see something.
Tang Yue quickly grabbed Tang Shengkai's arm and said, "Dad, it's not far. You don't have to follow me. You're too big and you'll attract too much attention if you go over there."
"No, you can't go alone."
Tang Yue felt both warm and helpless. He knew that what happened last time had frightened his parents.
The little hand took the father's big hand, "Dad, do you believe me?"
Tang Shengkai looked into his daughter's eyes and finally sighed, "Daughter, you are my biological daughter. It has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not. I..."
Tang Yue heard the ticking sound was about to stop. She didn't have time to explain anything to Tang Shengkai. She quickly passed Tang Shengkai and walked into the aisle. She turned around and said to Tang Shengkai, "Dad, trust me. I can protect myself at any time."
After saying that, the little body rushed out nimbly. Tang Yue did not go to find Lu Zhanheng and the others first. Instead, she went to the door of the toilet. This person was quite good at choosing a place. It was the toilet at the back of the last carriage.
When Tang Yue arrived, the man's signal had already been sent to the end. She leaned against the toilet door quietly, and spiritual power trickled in through the crack of the door. Tang Yue didn't know what the black box inside was, but now she couldn't make it work smoothly.
A good person wouldn't hide in a restroom to do things; clearly, there was something fishy about him. Tang Yue's spiritual power moved around the black box, finding several buttons. Using her spiritual power, she shifted some of the buttons' positions, making them ineffective when pressed.
To repair it, the black box had to be disassembled. Even the handle, which was currently pulsating, had something removed. After finishing all this, Tang Yue slipped away.
Her spiritual power cannot be controlled from too far away now, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
Tang Yue nimbly made her way to where Lu Zhanheng and his group were sitting. Similarly, the young people had bought tickets far away from them. Lu Zhanheng and Qian Ming sat across from each other, at the very outside.
Tang Yue gently patted Lu Zhanheng's arm. Lu Zhanheng opened his eyes instantly, a cold light flashing across his eyes. When he turned around and saw Tang Yue clearly, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he mouthed, "Little girl."
Tang Yue nodded, gave him a look, and then walked towards the connection between the two carriages.
Lu Zhanheng looked around and saw that everyone was sleeping, so he quietly got up and followed. As soon as he came over, Lu Zhanheng hurriedly asked,
"Little girl, why are you alone? Where are your parents?"
Tang Yue felt warm in her heart, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Uncle, my parents are in another carriage, I came here specially to find you."
Lu Zhanheng didn't ask her how she knew he was in the car. He stared at Tang Yue and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Tang Yue looked serious. He waved towards Lu Zhanheng. Lu Zhanheng squatted down. Tang Yue came closer and asked,
"Uncle, have you ever seen something like a black box with a handle on it that makes a ticking sound when you press it up and down?"
Lu Zhanheng's heart instantly jumped when he heard this. "Girl, have you seen that thing? Where is it?"
Seeing the anxious look on Lu Zhanheng's face, Tang Yue didn't hide it, "Yes, I saw it. What is it?"
"Telegram, that's used for sending telegrams. Where did you see it, little girl? Was it on the train?"
Lu Zhanheng was really worried. If they were really found on the train, it would definitely be a big deal. Although the country was liberated, spies from various countries were still active in the country.
During the war, countless spies had hidden themselves among the crowds without being discovered. Now, all nations were trying to stop China's development. They had just passed through Kyoto, and who knew for sure if another spy had discovered some secret of China and was passing it on.
"Yes. On the train."
"Quick, take me there."
