Chapter 484 When disaster strikes, everyone flees
Chen Kexin continued in a low voice: "I don't think the lady across the street is a good person either. Remember to be careful with your words."
"No way?"
Ping An had just accepted the fact that the two young men were spies from the island country, and he couldn't understand why the kind-looking old man opposite him also had problems, and his face suddenly became conflicted.
"Ping An, there is a saying that goes, 'You can know a person's face but not his heart. Can you guess what someone is thinking? Don't be stupid next time."
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but think of the Wen family and nodded solemnly.
Chen Kexin continued to remind him: "Don't say anything when you return to the cubicle later?"
"Sister, I understand!"
The brother and sister then returned to the compartment.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Chen Kexin took out the remaining tea eggs, a roast chicken and three loaves of bread from the bag she brought and said, "Let's eat!"
She washed her hands and started to tear the roast chicken skillfully. The aroma soon wafted out.
Across from her, the old woman swallowed her saliva. The old man rolled his Adam's apple a few times and glanced at his wife. The old woman immediately understood what he meant. She forced a smile on her face and said, "Girl, don't fight yet. Can you sell us half of the roast chicken? How much do you want?"
This chicken is of course a space product.
Chen Kexin shook her head decisively and said, "Auntie, this chicken is not big, it's just right for the three of us. I'll sell you half of it. We won't be full, and we don't need that little money anyway."
The old woman stared at the chicken with a regretful expression on her face, and she was complaining wildly in her heart: That chicken looked to weigh three or four pounds, and the damn girl actually said it was not big. How stingy!
He said with a determined heart, "Girl, can we pay a high price? Ten yuan? Thirty yuan? Or fifty yuan for half a piece?"
Fifty yuan for half a roast chicken is absolutely a sky-high price!
Chen Kexin muttered to herself: The market price of this roast chicken is only ten yuan, and half a chicken costs even less. I didn't realize that this old couple is so rich.
Chen Ping'an clearly remembered that there was only this roast chicken in his sister's bag.
He interjected unhappily, "We won't sell it no matter how much money you offer!"
The old woman gave up the idea with a look of disappointment on her face.
He climbed to the middle bunk unhappily, tore a piece of newspaper, crumpled it up, stuffed it into his nostrils, lay down, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Chen Kexin and the others were well fed and satisfied.
At this time, the flight attendant who had met twice came over and asked the old couple seriously, "When the dispute over the direction of the washroom just now occurred, was there anyone else in the cubicle?"
The old man stammered, "I went out for a walk, I don't know..."
The conductor looked at the old woman pretending to sleep and said rudely, "Wake up, I have something to ask you!"
The old woman had to open her eyes and looked around blankly, pretending to be confused, "Comrade, what do you want to ask?"
The conductor patiently repeated the question, but the old woman continued to play dumb, "Comrade, I was sleeping the whole time, so I don't know."
The conductor said sternly, "Someone just lost something in your compartment. If anyone takes it and hands it over, we will forgive them. But if I find it, the situation will change."
The old couple looked at each other and said nothing.
Chen Kexin added fuel to the fire and said, "Brother police officer, I understand. Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict, right?"
The conductor smiled on his serious face and said, "That's what I mean!"
Seeing that the old couple was indifferent, the conductor continued in a loud voice: "Then I will not be polite and start looking. Whose luggage is under the bed?"
Chen Kexin said hurriedly: "It's not ours!"
She only brought a backpack, and Qiao Dawei also brought a bag, which they placed casually next to the pillow.
The old man then said, "It's ours!"
The flight attendant bent down, pulled out the luggage bag below, and looked at the contents.
Chen Kexin soon noticed that the old woman was getting nervous, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved. When they were away, did the old woman rummage through the enemy spy's bag? There were stacks of RMB in the bag. Could it be that she stole it, and the flight attendant took it back just now, and the Japanese found something wrong after seeing it?
No wonder the old lady was so rich just now, it turned out that she got some unexpected money and didn’t feel bad about spending it.
But where did they hide the stolen money?
She immediately released her mental power and looked at the middle and lower bunks opposite.
There were two old people's bags on the bed, with some miscellaneous items in them.
Keep reading, what’s inside the pillow on the middle bunk? It can be seen that there are three neatly arranged stacks of money inside.
Who would not stuff the money into the pillow when taking a train? Why would they bring so much money?
Just now the old woman was lying on the middle bunk taking a nap.
As we all know, the pillows in the hard sleeper carriages are not only flat but also very soft.
The old woman put her head on it and she would not fail to feel that there were three stacks of money inside.
The truth is about to come out!
Chen Kexin wanted to give the conductor some hints at the appropriate time, but as to whether the money was stolen, she would leave it to the conductor to deal with it.
I watched the flight attendant leisurely during the search to see if he had checked the bag on the bed.
He said to the old woman seriously, "You come down first!"
The old woman said with an unpleasant expression: "Comrade conductor, my heart aches and I don't want to get off. What are you looking for?"
The police officer's face darkened a little, and he said sternly: "What are you looking for? Of course, the stolen money!"
The old woman was stunned and dared not say anything.
The flight attendant started searching from the foot of the bed, searching very carefully until he found the head of the bed. Just as he was about to grab the pillow—
The old woman grabbed the pillow and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "It's such a small place, what's there to look for? Go find it yourself."
The conductor's eyes darkened, and he quickly grabbed the pillow with his big hand. He soon felt its weight and immediately understood what was going on.
He took out three wads of money from his pillow and said righteously, "I suspect you are in league with the two young men. Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
It turned out that after Chen Kexin and the others left, the two young men also left.
The old woman found that they were the only two old people left in the box, and quickly rummaged through Chen Kexin and Qiao Dawei's bags.
She only found food and wanted to steal the roast chicken, but was stopped by the old man.
When he saw so much money in the bag of the triangular-eyed young man, he was so surprised that he took three stacks of money and left one stack for him.
Just now, the flight attendant took away the bags of the two young people, and they thought everything was fine.
Unexpectedly, the conductor made a surprise counterattack.
As for what the police said to scare them and ask them to confess, they thought no one saw it and blocked it out.
At this moment, the old couple suddenly felt weak in the knees, and the old man asked in a trembling voice: "Who are those two people?"
The police officer whispered in his ear: "Special agent!"
The old man almost collapsed to the ground and said hurriedly: "I don't know about this. I was just strolling in the corridor..."
Although the old woman did not hear what the conductor said to the old man, based on her decades of understanding of the old man, she immediately understood that the other party wanted to protect himself.
From this, she inferred that the identities of the two young men were not simple. She didn't want to bear the blame alone, so she immediately hysterically exposed, "Comrade flight attendant, he didn't wander around. I stole something and he was always on guard for me..."
Seeing the old couple's attitude, Chen Kexin couldn't help but sigh in her heart: As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes.
