Chapter 28: A Masterpiece
Watching the two men with red armbands slam the door and leave, Ruan Anan sneered and took out the candy again and handed it to the female educated youth.
"Do you want to eat?"
"Eat!" The young woman had already forgotten her conflict with Ruan Anan and took the initiative to extend her hand. "Hello, Comrade Ruan, my name is Gao Ruoyun, and I'm a new young person going to the Binhai Farm on Nansha Island."
"Ah? Are you going to Nansha Island too?"
Ruan Anan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Gao Ruoyun's small leather shoes and dress.
This delicate girl must have something wrong with her brain, right?
Why go to that windy and rocky beach for no reason?
Gao Ruoyun didn't understand the deeper meaning and nodded excitedly: "My uncle said that the scenery in Nansha Island is very beautiful and the environment is also very good, so I signed up to go there to provide support in the countryside."
Ruan Anan's mouth twitched slightly.
Nansha Island is really...
Tsunamis, typhoons, enemy harassment, all joints in the body will ache when the tide comes.
Apart from being able to eat as much seafood as you want, there is no benefit at all.
Her uncle is clearly deliberately deceiving people.
Just when Ruan Anan wanted to speak, the door was suddenly slammed open.
After the two men with red armbands dragged the thin male educated youth into the office like a dead dog, they angrily threw the brown paper bag on the desk.
"Fuck, these guys are so bold!"
"They're actually using the educated youth movement right under our noses."
The educated youth was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, "This is not mine, I didn't know!"
Gao Ruoyun raised her chin, puffed out her chest, and looked proud.
"See! I told you..."
Hmm? What's that brown and black rock sugar on the table?
Isn't this what a bomb looks like?
I saw four large brown-black, translucent crystals that emitted a strange sweet smell.
"What is this?" Gao Ruoyun reached out curiously.
"Don't move!" Ruan Anan shouted, snapping her hand open and speaking in a voice as heavy as iron: "This is opium paste!"
"Opium... Opium?!" Gao Ruoyun's face turned pale as if struck by lightning. "Those three fat guys are using the educated youth movement to harm people?"
"Comrade, I know what those three people look like. I can draw them for you!"
The red armband no longer had any arrogance at this moment.
Looking at Gao Ruoyun as if she were a savior, she nodded repeatedly and said earnestly, "Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Gao! Please be sure to draw it carefully..."
Ruan Anan couldn't help but complain in her heart.
This face-changing skill...
Maybe you’ve studied under a Sichuan Opera troupe before?
Ruan Anan watched with interest as Gao Ruoyun took out paper and pen from her bag and started drawing.
It’s great to be eighteen.
Youth is in its prime and full of passion.
A "veteran" like her who has been through the quagmire of the workplace for a few times.
That pure passion had been almost worn out.
Just as she was filled with emotion, Gao Ruoyun drew a few strokes and raised the drawing paper as if presenting a treasure: "Comrade, I've finished my painting!"
Ruan Anan: ...
Security Captain Pan Wei: ...
Security Team Member No. 2: ...
The three people's eyes were fixed on the paper, and then they moved away with difficulty.
What...what is this painting about?
The facial features were scribbled on the three circles.
Who can tell that this is a painting?
The corners of Pan Wei's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "Comrade Gao, you're such a nice person!"
If they really used this painting to arrest someone, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize those three people even if they stood in front of them!
"That's it! Serving the people!"
Gao Ruoyun didn't notice the indescribable expressions on everyone's faces at all. Instead, she enthusiastically gestured, "Those three are so tall and so fat."
“They’re all bald.”
"besides……"
"Comrade Gao!" Security Captain Pan Wei sighed. "The public security comrades will be here soon. How about... you give them the details later?"
"Okay!" Gao Ruoyun agreed readily without any hesitation.
Ruan Anan pursed her lips, not looking at the "masterpiece" anymore. She casually pulled out a piece of White Rabbit candy from her pocket and handed it to the pale-faced male educated youth who was still slumped on the ground. "Comrade, where are you going?"
The male educated youth took the candy with trembling fingers, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. The rich milky aroma could not suppress the crying tone in his voice.
"Going to Yuncheng... I have to change trains in Mincheng. Comrade, this really has nothing to do with me! I'm just an educated youth who went to the countryside. How would I know that the cloth bag contained..."
His voice trembled and he didn't dare to mention the word.
It would be a disaster if you got involved with that stuff!
He was regretting it so much. Why was he sleeping in the waiting room for no reason?
What bad luck!
Ruan Anan nodded slightly and said soothingly, "We all saw something that has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be afraid."
She then turned to the security captain, Pan Wei, and frowned slightly, "Comrade, if we cooperate with the police investigation, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch the train today, right?"
“This… is indeed!”
In half an hour, the bus from Hai City to Min City will depart.
But this opium paste is a big deal. If they really start investigating it, they might not be able to leave for half an hour, let alone half an hour.
Ruan Anan took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "What if I can only catch these criminals if I let us get on the train?"
Security Captain Pan Wei's eyes narrowed noticeably, and he leaned closer and asked, "Comrade Ruan, do you have a solution?"
Ruan Anan didn't keep the question in suspense, analyzing it clearly. "They targeted this educated youth comrade because he had a clean identity. No one would check his luggage bag containing bedding. Since they're using him to transport goods, there must be someone to help them! Instead of detaining him, why not let him go and use him as bait? Anyway, those people are only using him to transport goods and will definitely not touch him."
Security Captain Pan Wei was obviously moved.
Their public security department made a big mistake this time.
If I hadn't been lazy and playing poker in the house, how could I have let those three bald guys do something wrong under my nose?
Of course it would be good if I could make amends for my crime now.
only……
Security captain Pan Wei's eyes fell on the male educated youth.
The male educated youth had his face covered with snot and tears, his eyes were dull, and he was shaking like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
This guy is in such a hopeless situation, will anything bad happen if he goes there?
Security Captain Pan Wei said with some embarrassment, "Is it okay with him?"
Ruan Anan's eyes swept across the room and landed on the short and thin man with a red armband next to him.
He was of similar build to the male educated youth, with short hair parted in the middle, and looked quite smart.
Her eyes lit up. "Comrade, you have the same figure and hairstyle as him! If you put on a pair of glasses, they probably won't recognize you. Do you... dare to try?"
When Security Team Member No. 2 heard this, his blood boiled.
"Dare! Why not?"
He is usually a follower in the Public Security Department, and he agrees with whatever the boss says.
If only I could disguise myself as an educated youth and catch those opium cream dealers myself...
Wow! That’s a huge achievement!
Security Captain Pan Wei was eager to act immediately, shouting, "The train waits for no one! Since we're going to 'cast a long line to catch a big fish,' you two should change your clothes quickly! When the police come, I'll let them get on the train!"
Ruan Anan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is said that every citizen is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.
But as a "fragile and weak" little girl, she was really unable to do such a dangerous job as catching opium paste dealers.
And if the trip is delayed because of this, that would be terrible!
Three days later, the "severe crackdown" storm swept in.
For someone as sensitive as her about her identity, staying in Haishi is like putting her head on her belt.
Thinking of this, Ruan Anan's eyes rolled, and he turned to the security captain Pan Wei with a smile: "Comrade, look, isn't it time to fulfill our 'bet' just now?"
The red armband looked embarrassed, "We were negligent in this matter. Who could have thought they were so bold as to dare to do this at the train station..."
Ruan Anan smiled like a little fox. "I'm willing to accept the loss. I won't make any excessive demands. Just arrange a berth for us!"
"Sleeper?"
Gao Ruoyun's eyes lit up, and her tone was full of curiosity and yearning.
"Is it the kind of carriage where you can lie down and sleep? I've heard of it!"
Security Captain Pan Wei looked embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to admit defeat, but this train...it doesn't even have sleeper cars!"
Ruan Anan: Uh...
It was a bad idea.
She only knew that trains of this era had sleeper cars, but she didn't expect that not every long-distance train had sleeper cars.
"However!" Security Captain Pan Wei changed the subject and quickly made amends. "Although we don't have sleeper berths, we do have special soft seats. That carriage should be empty. I'll write you a note. Just give it to the conductor when you get on board."
As he spoke, he swiftly took out a small notebook from his pocket, quickly wrote a few lines, and solemnly tore it off and handed it to Ruan Anan.
Soft seats, no one.
What’s the difference between that and the VIP box?
She immediately slammed the table, reached into the backpack she was carrying, and pulled out a trough cake wrapped in brown paper. "Comrade, I won't sit here for nothing. I'll treat you to some trough cake."
"As for the subsequent rat catching, we two 'fragile' girls can't help you. It's all up to you!"
As she said that, she pulled Gao Ruoyun out.
