In order to avoid the auntie and the old man opposite from talking nonsense, Qian Xiaolan slipped out after breakfast and sat in the aisle to look at the scenery outside the car window.
At a certain moment, she noticed a vague gaze staring at her.
She frowned and glanced over calmly.
There were a few people sitting at the interface of the opposite carriage, eating dry food.
She thought her feeling was wrong, so she looked away, but she didn't expect that she felt it again after a while.
This time she looked straight ahead.
He is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
The other person didn't expect her to look back at him so bluntly. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked towards her.
Now it was Qian Xiaolan's turn to be stunned.
"Comrade, did you go to the restroom in the next car at four o'clock in the morning?"
Qian Xiaolan stared at him for a while, then remembered that this man was the one who stepped on her foot in the morning, and nodded.
"Great, it's really you!" the man was very excited.
The loud sound attracted many curious looks.
The other party greeted him with a smile, so Qian Xiaolan didn't want to show off, so she asked in a very good manner: "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Here's what happened. Before you entered the restroom, I was using it, and the strap of my watch was loose, so I just put it on the shelf nearby.
But after you used the restroom, I went to look for it and it was gone."
Qian Xiaolan's face turned cold: "You mean I took the watch?"
The man waved his hands: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if you have seen it."
"No." Qian Xiaolan shook her head without thinking.
The man was very dissatisfied and shouted even louder: "Hey, comrade, think about it again. I am very sure that no one has been to that bathroom before you."
In an instant, everyone in the carriage looked at Qian Xiaolan with strange eyes.
Gu Yanqing was originally leaning against the door. When he saw someone bullying his wife, he was about to speak up, but Qian Xiaolan gently shook her head at him.
Then he sneered at the man and said, "Okay, you just want to extort money? As long as you can find evidence to prove that I took your watch, I will compensate you.
If you can't find evidence, you can apologize to me via the train broadcast."
The man growled in disbelief: "Why should I look for evidence? You said you didn't get it, so why don't you show me the evidence?"
Qian Xiaolan said calmly: "Whoever claims must provide evidence. You said I took your watch, then find the evidence, otherwise, forget it."
Seeing Qian Xiaolan so calm, the crowd also thought it was impossible that she took it, so they began to persuade the middle-aged man:
"This young comrade doesn't look like someone who would steal. Think about it carefully. Did you put the watch in your pocket and forget about it?"
The middle-aged man looked excited: "Impossible, my memory is very good, I remember the watch very clearly, it was placed on the shelf in the bathroom.
After I came out of the restroom, I didn’t go anywhere but stood in the hallway and smoked.”
"Oh, yes, there were many men who smoked like me at that time. I will go find them to testify for me."
The man ran away after he finished speaking. Less than five minutes later, he came back with two other men in tow: "These two comrades can testify for me."
The two people who were pulled over by the middle-aged man nodded quickly: "Yes, we can testify that Comrade Chen stood outside smoking after leaving the bathroom."
"Moreover, apart from this lesbian, no one else entered the toilet during this period."
Qian Xiaolan glanced at the two of them and spoke slowly, "How do I know if these two are in the same group with you?
There should have been two more people at the time, why didn't you call them over? "
The three men looked at each other, their faces looking a little unhappy.
The middle-aged man was almost angry to death. He didn't expect to meet such a tough guy this time.
Gu Yanqing chuckled, walked to stand behind Qian Xiaolan, and looked at the three men with a smile in his eyes:
"Are you sure my wife stole something? Do you know what crime it is to falsely accuse a military family member?"
When the three men saw Gu Yanqing in military uniform, they immediately thought something was wrong.
The middle-aged man said stubbornly: "We didn't say she was the one who stole the things. I just wonder why my watch disappeared after she went in."
Qian Xiaolan patted Gu Yanqing's arm to comfort him, "Don't be angry, let them talk. If they can find evidence today to prove that I took the things, I will take the crime of thief and pay double compensation."
The three men looked at each other, and one of them gritted his teeth and said:
"I stood there for half an hour, and I really didn't see anyone go to the bathroom before you."
Qian Xiaolan said "Oh" and said nonchalantly: "That only proves that this comrade and I were the only ones who used this bathroom for a period of time. It doesn't prove that he lost his watch in there, and it certainly doesn't prove that I took his watch."
The middle-aged man pointed at Qian Xiaolan and yelled, "Are you kidding me?"
The onlookers sneered: "How can this be considered as dumping you? What the young comrade said is absolutely right.
If you accuse someone of stealing something, then why don't you produce evidence?
If you can’t produce evidence, we will think that you three are a gang that specializes in extorting people on the train.”
These words hit the nail on the head for the three men.
Their expressions changed again and again. One man said to Qian Xiaolan, "Since you said you didn't take the watch, then let us search you. If you don't have it, forget it."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yanqing's face turned dark.
The onlookers also looked at them in disbelief.
Three men frisking a lesbian? Are these people crazy?
Only Qian Xiaolan stood up with a smile and slapped the person who spoke in the face.
"Is this your purpose? To behave like a hooligan and insult me in public?"
"My man, who fought alongside countless soldiers and warriors at the border, risked his life to protect trash like you?"
"Looking at the tacit cooperation between you, this is not the first time you have done something like this, right? How many women have you harmed?
Trash like you should be arrested and reformed!"
"Luckily it's me today. If it was any other woman who didn't know how to resist, would you have succeeded?"
Qian Xiaolan cursed and slapped the man, and she was very fair in taking care of all three men.
They tried to resist and hide but failed, but Qian Xiaolan was well trained, and Gu Yanqing was there to quietly block them, so the three men received four slaps each.
After Qian Xiaolan finished beating the man, the train conductor also arrived with his men.
Qian Xiaolan explained the whole incident, emphasizing that after she came out of the toilet, she was pushed and stepped on by them.
"Comrade conductor, I guess they wanted to put something in my pocket, but I was wearing a sweater without pockets that morning.
If this is changed into other clothes, it will really be in their way. "
After showing his ID, Gu Yanqing also said: "I think they are habitual criminals who committed crimes in a gang. I hope they can be handed over to the police for investigation."
"You arrest us for nothing, what are you doing without any evidence?"
The three men were shouting so loudly that the conductor was in a dilemma.
