Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 269 Armed theft?

Bang, bang ...

It was already past two in the morning of June 5th.

The train is still running tirelessly across the land of China in the deep night.

Perhaps he heard the noise, Zhang Quanzhou, another member of the second team who lived in the same box with Qu Xianfeng, also came to Li Yancheng's box and joined in the discussion about Wei Haiping's wife Liang Jinhua.

Not long after, Tian Linjun and Zeng Honglin also came over.

Well, they were up all night, sitting in the box smoking. They were afraid of disturbing others, so they could only talk in low voices, showing their night owl attributes to the fullest.

When it was past three o'clock and everyone was still discussing more and more enthusiastically, Lao Xu could only wave his hand and signal everyone to go back to their own boxes and sleep.

If we don't stop it, it will probably last until dawn.

"Yancheng, do you also think there is something wrong with Liang Jinhua?"

After the other four returned to their respective boxes, Lao Xu suddenly asked.

"Director, to be honest, I find problems with everyone I see now."

Li Yancheng sighed a little depressed, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit another one for himself.

"Smoke less." Seeing him smoking one cigarette after another, Lao Xu frowned.

"Finish this one and go to bed." Li Yancheng raised his hand to signal and continued the previous topic.

"In fact, we are now like headless flies stuck in a dead end. If there were any other solutions, we wouldn't be here now.

It was the same when we looked for Xue Baolai in the past, and it is also the same when we analyze Liang Jinhua now.

Director, we have no choice."

Li Yancheng's words left Lao Xu silent. Yes, they were now at a dead end.

"Well... let's do this. Tomorrow, no, it should be today. The post office may be closed by the time we get there today. So, let's call the office tomorrow morning and ask them to check on Liang Jinhua first. It's useless, though."

"Take a rest, Director. Don't think about it. I'm going to the bathroom."

"it is good"

I opened the door of the compartment and walked out, then closed it again. The sleeper car was quiet.

There were two people living in each of the two compartments near the other end of the carriage.

To be able to live in a sleeper car, one must be of a fairly high status. Normally, someone of Lao Xu's status can only sit in a hard sleeper and cannot even reach a soft sleeper.

Because there were so few people, when the conductor arranged berths for strangers, they would arrange each person in one compartment. Since it would not be full anyway, it was better to arrange them together to avoid any conflicts.

If you want to adjust yourself, that’s another matter.

After walking out of the compartment, Li Yancheng stood in the aisle for a while before walking into the bathroom at the connection between the carriages.

After draining the water and washing his hands, he was just about to go out when he heard a creaking sound as the car door opened outside.

Ok?
Who is it?

Why is there anyone entering the sleeper car so late at night? And from this side.

He remembered that the conductor locked the door of the carriage at around nine o'clock in the evening.

Their sleeper car was the third to last in the entire train. To the front was the dining car, to the back was an empty hard-seat car, and to the back was the last cargo car, which was filled with postal letters.

Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for someone to come from behind. They hadn't slept just now and didn't hear anyone passing by at all. Where did this person come from?
Thinking of this, Li Yancheng gently pressed down the bathroom door handle. He had not turned the occupied indicator lock when he came in to use the bathroom just now, so it was convenient to open the door now.

At this time, the train should have just passed the track change section, and the banging sound became louder. He quietly opened the bathroom door without attracting the attention of the person who just passed by outside.

Looking at the man who just passed by wearing the conductor's uniform, Li Yancheng frowned in confusion. He really didn't remember anyone walking past him just now, and judging from the back, this man was not the conductor in charge of their carriage.

Just when he was about to call out to the man to ask about the situation, he saw that the man had walked to the door of the box where he and Lao Xu were staying and stopped.

Yo, what does this guy want to do?

Seeing that he stopped, Li Yancheng swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and took a step back into the bathroom with only one eye looking forward. He wanted to see what this guy was going to do.

He just took a step back, and the man standing there looked back. There was no light at the connection between the carriages, and the light inside the carriage was also dim.

He did not notice that the bathroom door, which had been closed just now, had now opened a crack, and an eye was staring at him.

I saw this person lift up his clothes with his right hand and reach back, and when he came out again, there was a dagger in his hand.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng already knew that this guy must have come up from the small station where the car stopped just now.

He must have the triangular key used by train conductors, and he was wearing a train conductor's uniform, probably for convenience. He was an armed thief.

He didn't plan to play with this guy anymore. When he opened the bathroom door, there was a gun in his right hand.

"Xu..."

A whistle sounded, scaring the guy who was about to open the door of the box. When he turned around, he found that someone was standing at the bathroom door.

It wouldn't be a big problem if there was just one person standing there, but the problem was that the person was holding a gun in his hand, and the gun was pointing at him.

Before he could react to what was happening, the door of the box was suddenly opened from the inside, and then he felt something hard pointing at his head.

At the same time, the doors on both sides of the box where he was standing were opened almost at the same time, and four pistols were stretched out from inside.

The four pistols were pointing in different directions. Two were pointing at him, and the other two were pointing in two directions, one in front and one behind.

Mom, I'm scared!
"bang"

The middle-aged man in train staff uniform who was standing at the door of Li Yancheng's compartment didn't say a word after seeing this scene. He very graciously dropped the dagger in his hand, and threw it farther away on purpose, probably because he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

After throwing away the dagger, he squatted down with his hands on his head. His movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.

He regretted not checking the almanac before going out today. It must have said that today was not a good day for anything.

Otherwise, why would he come to the police station?

By the way, what are the ranks of these police officers? Why can they all live in sleeper berths?

Could these people be guards? I haven't heard of any important people in the sleeper berth of this train today.

While he was lost in thought, he heard someone talking.

"Xianfeng, search him to see if he has anything else on him. Honglin, go find the flight attendant."

"Yes"

He quickly said cooperatively: "Nothing, I have nothing on me except a key... um..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt someone slap him on the head, and the blow made him see stars.

"Did I let you speak?"

Okay, shut up!
Then he saw someone walking in front of him, and then he felt a strong force pulling his arm and pulling him up.

"Hold your hands against the wall and open your legs."

As soon as he stood up as instructed, he saw the man who pulled him up reached out and pulled away the cloth strip that tied his trouser waist. Whoosh, the trousers, which were a bit baggy at the waist, fell down, revealing the large shorts he was wearing with holes on his buttocks.

Based on his many years of work experience, he knew that the people he met today were not police officers, at least not ordinary police officers.

Because he had been arrested many times, he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment. At most, he would be handcuffed behind his back, and then he could use...

Before he could finish thinking about the little things in his mind, he felt himself being slapped on the head again.

"Is this what you meant by having only one key on you?"

Looking at the thin wire stretched out in front of his eyes, which was supposed to be pinned in the hole in his sleeve, he knew that he might be sentenced to prison this time.

By the time Zeng Honglin called the flight attendant over, the man had already been searched by Qu Xianfeng. In addition to a key, three thin iron wires were found from three relatively hidden places on his body.

Then his hands were tied with his own rag, not at the back, but at the front, because he still needed to hold up his trousers by himself, as they were hanging at his ankles.

The flight attendant called by Zeng Honglin almost burst out laughing when he saw the scene.

He controlled his expression, saluted Lao Xu and the others, said some words of thanks, and then pointed at the middle-aged man standing there dejectedly and introduced him. This guy is indeed a frequent visitor, but what is a little strange today is that he actually brought a dagger. Usually he just stole, and basically in the hard seat carriage, because there are many people there, it is convenient to start.

This guy had indeed been caught several times and imprisoned, but he had also escaped several times. Just look at the thin wire on his body and you will know that he had been mentally prepared to be caught.

Soon, the flight attendant took the guy away. It seemed that he would not be able to escape this time.

Li Yancheng and his friends had never expected that they would encounter such a person while riding on a train.

Ten minutes later, the sleeper car returned to silence again, and the doors of the three soft sleeper compartments where the six of them lived were closed again. After all this commotion, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

……

"Xiao Wang, what do the six people living together in the soft sleeper car do? Are they police officers from Beijing? Or are they police officers who are on a business trip to Beijing and are about to return?"

Dining car. At night, many staff members on the train rest here.

After handcuffing the middle-aged man to the iron bar that fixed the dining table, the conductor walked over to the conductor in charge of the sleeper car and asked.

"Not the police," the conductor named Xiao Wang shook his head. He looked around and saw that everyone was still resting on the table and no one was paying attention to this side, so he leaned over to the conductor's ear and whispered.

Zeng Honglin called the conductor quietly just now and did not attract anyone's attention.

"They are from the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau. Was Er Gouzi caught by those people?"

"So it was them. No wonder their kidnapping method was so strange. Well, Er Gouzi has hit a wall this time.

But it's strange, why did this guy think of stealing the soft sleeper car this time, he has never been here before."

Xiao Wang stretched his head to look at the middle-aged man who was sitting on the ground listlessly after being handcuffed, and curled his lips: "Who knows, maybe he is crazy about money."

After saying this, he suddenly saw the dagger that the flight attendant had placed on the table when he came over, and asked in surprise, "No way, Brother Liu, don't tell me he took it?"

"He was the one who took it, so I found it strange. This guy has never made such a big fuss before."

The flight attendant named Liu looked at the dagger on the table, then looked down at the middle-aged man and touched him with his foot.

The middle-aged man raised his head and said, "Er Gouzi, you have made a difference today. You dare to steal from a car with a weapon. Haha, you have found a job that will provide you with food for a long time."

"Comrade Liu...Comrade Liu, please...please don't scare me. I haven't gotten anything...anything."

The middle-aged man's face turned a little pale.

"What you did today is different from what you did before. If you stole with your bare hands and didn't steal anything, you would be locked up for ten days or half a month at best. But if you were armed, you are a bitch, then the nature of the crime is completely different. Conservatively speaking, you will be sentenced to at least three years."

"what?"

Liu Gongan's words made the middle-aged man called Er Gouzi's face turn even paler and his screams became louder.

His shouting actually woke up the other staff members who were resting in the dining car. When they saw that he was caught, they all laughed out loud with joy.

"He lied to me, he lied to me..."

Seeing Ergouzi muttering something, Liu Gongan listened attentively. When he heard him muttering that he had lied to him, his expression immediately became serious.

So this guy was instructed by someone this time? No wonder he changed his usual behavior and ran to the sleeper car with a dagger.

What did you order him to do? To commit murder?

No, this guy definitely doesn't have the guts to do that. He must have been ordered to steal something.

Who did they steal from? Those people from the Social Affairs Bureau?

It shouldn't be that necessary. Those who steal from the Social Security Bureau are just looking for death.

It must be someone else. There were two other people living in the sleeper car, so it must be one of those two.

Thinking of this, Public Security Liu immediately turned to look at the conductor in the sleeper car.

"Xiao Wang, what are the other two passengers in the sleeper car doing?"

"Ah? What's wrong, Brother Liu?"

"First, tell me, what do the other two passengers do?"

"Uh...both of them got off at Xu City. One is a local cadre there, and the other is a technician from a factory in Xu City."

"Technician? Why can a technician sit in a sleeper berth?"

"He has a letter of introduction, saying he is carrying something important."

"Which box is he in?"

"Just go this way for the second one."

Hearing this, Liu Gongan leaned over and grabbed Ergouzi by the collar and made him raise his head.

"Er Gouzi, tell me the truth, who ordered you to steal things in the sleeper car?"

“No…no one.”

"Er Gouzi, don't fool me. This time is different from your previous situation. If you don't tell the truth and get found out, you might lose your head. Tell me, did someone ask you to steal the things in the second box?"

The restaurant, which had been noisy after being woken up, quickly became quiet. Seeing Liu Gongan's anxious look, everyone realized that something big must have happened.

"Liu Gongan, you...how did you know that?" The expression on Ergouzi's face became extremely surprised.

Seeing that he admitted it, Liu Gongan let go of his collar, stood up and ran towards the sleeper car. When he reached the door of the second compartment, he started knocking on it.

He knocked hard on the door, but the door he was knocking on didn't open yet. Instead, the doors of the three compartments at the other end of the carriage were all opened.

Then the door he knocked on opened, but only a small gap, just enough for a head to stick out.

A 30-something man wearing glasses and looking sleepy stuck his head out. Seeing that it was the police who knocked on the door, he asked hesitantly, "Comrade Police, what's going on? I haven't reached my stop yet, have I?"

"Hello, we just caught a thief. Could you please check if you lost anything?"

At this time, the door of the first box also opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out, looking at this side in confusion.

Seeing this, Public Security Liu also asked him to check his things.

The few people at the other end of the carriage didn't come over, they just stood there looking at this side.

The other person didn't ask them for help. Although they were curious whether the man had accomplices, they didn't want to interfere with other people's normal work.

Soon, the researcher poked his head out of the box again and said, "Comrade Public Security, my things are all here, nothing is missing."

call……

Public Security Liu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't lost.

The middle-aged man in the first box also came out at this time, and he didn't lose anything.

As long as none of them are lost!
Public Security Liu waved his hand and asked the train staff standing at the connection between the carriages to leave. He also asked the middle-aged man in the first compartment to go back and continue to rest, then pushed aside the researcher with glasses and walked into his compartment.

The man with glasses who was pushed away was a little surprised, and hurriedly followed him into the box. Just when he was about to ask why he came into my box, Public Security Liu spoke first.

“Your letter of introduction stated that you were carrying important things, why didn’t you report it after you got on the bus?
Also, if that thing is so important that it needs to be in a soft sleeper car, why do you want to go alone?"

"I... I didn't know I had to report it!" Faced with Liu Gongan's questioning, the man with glasses was a little flustered and had completely forgotten what he wanted to ask just now.

have no idea? !

The answer from the man with glasses almost made Liu Gongan laugh. This researcher is a novice, and how come his leader is also an idiot?

"Please show me your work permit and letter of introduction. What important things are you carrying?"

"I can show you my work permit and letter of introduction, but they are marked as confidential, so I can't let you see them."

What the hell!

At this moment, Liu Gongan really wanted to kick this guy.

How dare you take the train alone with secret information and not report after getting on board!
If you're looking for death, don't drag me down!
"Haven't you learned the code of confidentiality? Why are you the only one keeping such an important thing?"

He snatched the work permit and letter of introduction from the man with glasses, and when he saw that they were from a heavy industrial factory in Xu City, he immediately became furious.
