Chapter 219: A Close Call
Soon the toilet door was opened, and two short middle-aged men walked out, both of them were very cautious.
Li Meng quickly lowered her head and pretended to tie her shoelaces, watching the two people walk past her. In order not to arouse their suspicion, Li Meng also wanted to see their faces clearly, so she carried her luggage and followed them. Just when she was about to get close to the two people, her front foot stepped on their back feet and she fell towards them!
The man walking behind was bumped by Li Meng and almost fell down. He quickly turned back and supported her.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't see it when I was walking and stepped on my shoelaces!" Li Meng took a quick look and then lowered his head to apologize.
"It's okay, just be careful when walking next time!" The short man who helped her up didn't say much, just said this and left.
Li Meng saw clearly that the man who was talking had a scar on his brow bone, and the slightly taller man in front who turned around to look at them had a red mole at the corner of his mouth and his eyes were very cold, which made Li Meng feel that this man must be very dangerous.
Coincidentally, the short man and she were in the same carriage, and the man with cold eyes was in the next carriage.
When Li Meng entered the carriage, she saw the short man and greeted him pretending to be familiar with him.
"What a coincidence! We are in the same carriage. Thank you for that!"
"Where are you going? If you're going to the same place, then it's fate. I was saying that the car ride was boring!"
Li Meng spoke warmly to the short man who was about to climb onto the upper bunk in the carriage.
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake. Put your luggage down first!"
It was obvious that the man didn't want to talk to her more and refused to chat.
Li Meng didn't try to get the other person to say anything, but she wasn't discouraged either. She just smiled at him and went to pack her luggage, then climbed onto the upper bunk.
At this time, a young man came into the carriage. He was dressed very casually, was very tall and thin, looked very sunny, and had a mouthful of big white teeth when he smiled.
At this time, the short man opposite had taken off his shoes and covered himself with a thin blanket, looking like he didn't want anyone to approach him.
When the tall man was standing on the upper bunk and looking up to put his luggage, his suitcase scraped the quilt at the short man's feet, and the quilt was briefly lifted. At this moment, Li Meng noticed the socks on the short man's feet, which made him more certain that he was Japanese.
Because his socks are two-toed socks, and the characteristic of Japanese people is to wear wooden clogs, such socks are more suitable for them to wear wooden clogs.
This man is a spy, and alarm bells are ringing in Li Meng's mind.
How can we catch them both? And from the few words they said, they must have stolen national archives or something and wanted to destroy our New China.
If there was no one else in the carriage, Li Meng could use the tools in the space to knock the man out, but now there were other people in the carriage. If this was exposed, the spy in the next carriage would definitely run away, and she was not sure whether the young man coming from behind was their accomplice.
What should I do? It’s really worrying!
"Girl, where are you going?" The young man who just came in greeted Li Meng!
"I'm visiting relatives. My aunt's son is getting married and I'm going to the wedding." Li Meng definitely couldn't tell the truth without fully understanding the situation.
He just made up a lie and got away with it.
"Me too, haha. I brought some apples. If you want some, just take some!" The young man generously put a bag of apples on the table.
"I brought some too. After I finish eating, I will definitely not be polite!" Li Meng laughed.
The train was running smoothly and soon it was time for dinner. It was getting dark outside and I could hardly see the scenery outside the window.
During these few hours, Li Meng and the young man named Wu who came in later were chatting very enthusiastically, while the short man on the upper bunk didn't say a word and was sleeping all the time.
At this moment, the short man on the upper bunk quickly stood up, put on his shoes, and went out before the two men could react.
When the short man stood up, Li Meng heard the sound of a harmonica coming from the next carriage. At first she thought it was played by a child in the next carriage because it was out of tune, just a few simple notes.
Only then did she react, and hurriedly found an excuse to Comrade Xiao Wu and walked out of the car, seeing that the two men were about to take action.
Whether they are here to assassinate or to contact others, they are definitely up to no good, so we must keep a close eye on them.
So Li Meng almost jogged all the way, and only when she saw the man with the mole on his face appear in front of her did she slow down.
The two people walked in front, and Li Meng secretly followed behind them.
Just as they passed by the dining car, the man with the mole on his face suddenly turned around and stared at Li Meng.
"Why are you following me!" His voice was cold and his eyes were terrifying.
"Brother, are you kidding me? This is a dining car. You can come but I can't? And I'm following you? Do you think you're a handsome guy? How funny!"
"I have never met such a narcissistic person, it's hilarious!"
Li Meng was very nervous, but he didn't show any sign of panic and continued to talk nonsense.
Just as the two of them were refusing to give in and exchanging glances, a clear male voice came from behind them.
"Didn't you go to order food? Why are you still standing here?" This was Xiao Wu's voice.
"Didn't someone say that I followed him? He thought he was a handsome man! It's so funny!" Li Meng glanced at Xiao Wu behind him, his head turning quickly.
It seems that Xiao Wu is not one of them and he came to rescue her. I wonder if he really doesn't know the situation or is pretending not to know.
"Okay, okay, even if you're not hungry, I am! Go order food!" Xiao Wu pulled Li Meng over, pressed her down on her seat, and went to order food himself.
"I'm sorry! This is a misunderstanding!" Xiao Wu walked up to the man with the mole on his face, smiled, and said in a relaxed tone.
The man did not respond to him. He just glanced at the two of them coldly and walked to the other side of the table.
"Why did you follow them?" After Xiao Wu sat down, his face changed, his expression became serious, and his aura rose.
"Why should I tell you? Who are you? Why did you help me out?" Li Meng asked instead of answering.
"Aren't you afraid of death? These two people are not good people!" Xiao Wu continued to ask.
"How do you know I'm going to die? It's not certain who will die! What do you mean by asking me these questions? Who are you? If you don't want to tell me, just leave me alone!"
Li Meng was not afraid at all. At worst, he could just knock the two men out and drag them over to the flight attendant.
Xiao Wu struggled for a while. He was afraid that if he didn't tell her, the woman would definitely sabotage their plan. But if he told her, he was afraid that the woman was a bad person. However, according to his observation, the woman cared more about the matter than he did, so it seemed that she was not a bad person.
"Is this what you want?" Li Meng took out a volume of Chairman Mao's quotations from his backpack and pointed at the five-star red flag on it.
