After asking that question, the two soldiers put aside their curiosity and then focused their attention on asking about Su He's situation.
"May I ask what Comrade Su's job is?"
Knowing that the question had hit the nail on the head, Su He also became serious.
"I used to be a police officer. At the beginning of this year, I was recommended to go to university and I am currently a student at Peking University."
The two were surprised, but then they understood. So they were police officers. That made sense. No wonder they were so skilled.
"Have you learned to shoot?"
Su He nodded, "I've learned it!"
However, she didn't say that this was the first time she had fired a gun.
The two soldiers assumed she had done it before, nodded without giving it much thought, and then asked, "Why did you take action back then?"
"I didn't think that much. The carriage was in chaos at the time. I saw that the man opened fire so easily, so I knew he was someone who didn't care about anything. I had to take him down quickly!"
It just so happened that my position was in a blind spot at the time, so he probably wasn't as wary of women, which is why I was able to get my way.
As for firing the gun, it was a completely instinctive act. I saw him trying to run, and fearing he would actually escape, I fired. I didn't expect it to be unnecessary.
At this point, Su He looked embarrassed.
The two exchanged a glance, clearly agreeing with her point.
In addition, since she was a military dependent, they were less suspicious and said, "We understand. Although what you said still needs to be verified, I thank you on behalf of the army. If it weren't for your help, we might not have been able to capture the criminal so easily."
Su He quickly waved her hand, "Don't say that. I'm just glad you don't mind me being a busybody. Even without me, the criminals wouldn't have gotten away."
The soldier shook his head and sighed inwardly. There was indeed no way to escape, but they hadn't expected the criminals to have guns. If it weren't for Su He, who knows how many more people would have been killed.
Su He and the others understood this, which is why the soldiers were very grateful to her.
But instead of letting her leave immediately, they called the Tianqiao Police Station in Beijing to confirm that what she said was true before they truly believed her.
Su He was finally released.
Upon exiting, she saw Lin's mother and Shu Qing waiting anxiously outside. She quickly went up to them and asked, "Mom, Sister Shu Qing, are you alright?"
Lin's mother shook her head, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter come out. "We're fine. How about you? Are you alright?"
Su He shook her head. "I'm fine. We can leave now. Let's hurry up and leave so our brother doesn't keep us waiting."
Lin's mother nodded, "Alright, let's go then. We should be quite close to Nan Province now, but I don't know if there are any buses going there?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone came out from behind him.
"We're heading back to our unit anyway, why don't you come with us?"
Su He turned around and saw the two people who had asked her the questions earlier.
Seeing Lin's mother's surprise, she explained, "Mom, these are my eldest brother's comrades-in-arms."
The soldier in the lead smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Liu Changjun. I am the deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment. I am a comrade-in-arms with Deputy Battalion Commander Lin."
The soldier behind him added, "My name is Xie Daqiang, and I am the company commander of the second company of the third battalion. Aunt, you and your sisters-in-law should come back with us. Otherwise, we will have to find a boat after we get to the southern province. The private boats that go to the island usually don't return until the afternoon."
Lin's mother was overjoyed to hear this, "What a coincidence! That's wonderful!"
However, Shu Qing hesitated upon hearing this, "But, our family called Brother Lin after we got on the train. If he didn't pick us up, will he be waiting at the train station?"
Liu Changjun laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to the train station to inform Deputy Battalion Commander Lin. We'll meet at the dock then."
Hearing this, Lin's mother and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, then we won't worry anymore."
