Chapter 4 The Smell of Sulfur
Just as Su Hao was stunned, the figure had already walked further and further away. Wen Li didn't care about anything else and called out to Su Hao.
"hurry up!"
Su Hao shuddered. Seeing Wen Li's serious gaze, he seemed to see the figure of his own cousin, so he stood up like a coward.
Yu Shuang was very unhappy with Wen Li's attitude. "Wen Li, what gives you the right to order Su Hao around?"
"This is none of your business, just watch the luggage!"
"You...you actually yelled at me?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Deng Wei, who was sitting next to them, quickly got up to smooth things over.
"Shuangshuang, forget it, maybe Wen Zhiqing needs to talk to Haozi!"
"What could she possibly want with Su Hao?" Yu Shuang was indignant. Why was Wen Li treating her like this?
Wen Li didn't want to waste time, so she gestured for Su Hao to follow. The train was crowded with people, so Wen Li could only whisper something in Su Hao's ear.
"Whhh...what?" Su Hao was so startled he almost lost his footing.
"I'll go check, you go find it..."
Even though he was nervous, Su Hao mustered his courage and said, "I...I'll go! You go find it..."
Do you know who it is?
Su Hao shook his head.
"Don't waste time!" Seeing the figure enter the next carriage, Wen Li quietly followed.
Su Hao didn't expect Wen Li to be so reckless. That was explosives. What if she was discovered if she just let it go like that?
He had no choice but to quickly go find the train police officer.
"Young man, are you sure you're not joking?" The train police officers looked at each other, unsure of the consequences if there really were explosives.
"I'm not sure either. Wen Zhiqing has already gone after that person. You guys need to think of something quickly, otherwise we're doomed if they have accomplices!"
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the train police officers immediately contacted the train conductor to begin their investigation.
Shortly after, the train police officers began to take action.
Wen Li was still following the figure. She pretended to stretch her body, and when she saw the person go into the restroom, Wen Li quickly walked to the front carriage. When the person came out again, the thing in his arms was gone.
Wen Li glanced at the carriage behind her; it was a sleeper carriage. In this day and age, those who could afford a sleeper berth were not ordinary people.
Are they targeting the people in the sleeper cars?
As Wen Li pondered, the person's figure had already disappeared.
Just as she was about to go to the restroom, Su Hao arrived with the train police.
The two exchanged a glance, and Wen Li followed.
Upon arriving at the police station, the train police officer who was with Su Hao began questioning Wen Li.
"Comrade Wen, how did you discover the explosives?"
"I smelled sulfur on that person, and he always went into the toilet whenever he passed by, so I became suspicious!"
The train police officer immediately gave a wink to the person next to him, and another person left the police station.
Wen Li waited in the police station for about ten minutes before the train police officer who had just left returned.
"There really is explosives in the toilet!"
Wen Li and Su Hao were then temporarily placed in the police station to wait.
Su Hao opened his mouth, wanting to ask Wen Li how she knew and why she believed him, but seeing Wen Li's expressionless face, he closed his mouth again.
The two waited for almost two hours, and just as Su Hao was about to lose his patience, a commotion came from outside.
About half an hour later, the door to the police station finally opened.
Along with the railway police officer came a middle-aged man in military uniform.
"Comrade Wen and Comrade Su, right? Hello, my surname is Zheng!"
"Greetings, sir!"
Zheng Dong smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down, everyone!"
Wen Li calmly sat down.
Zheng Dong glanced at Wen Li and asked, "Comrade Wen, can you tell how you can tell those people are carrying explosives just by their smell?"
Sulfur is not widely used, and most people wouldn't associate its smell with explosives.
Wen Li knew she was being suspected. She had come into contact with sulfur before when she helped her grandfather organize medicinal herbs at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and often smelled it. Of course, she was familiar with it, but she couldn't say that now.
"My father was Wen Guodong, a regimental commander in the Shanghai Military Region, and my mother, Song Yu, was a military doctor. Sulfur can be used not only to make explosives but also as a medicinal ingredient. I've smelled it before, so I recognized it!"
Zheng Dong raised an eyebrow. Wen Li's excuse was rather far-fetched, but it was basically certain that there was no problem with Wen Li's identity.
After Wen Li revealed her identity, the soldier guarding the door left.
Wen Li knew he had gone out to confirm his identity, but her face remained calm.
Zheng Dong chatted with Wen Li for a while longer, and then the soldier returned. He whispered something in Zheng Dong's ear, and Zheng Dong's expression gradually relaxed.
"Comrade Wen, Comrade Su, on behalf of the Linshi Military Region, I thank you for what happened today. It was your resourcefulness that saved the country's property and prevented losses. We will send letters of commendation and banners to the places where you were sent to work!"
A smile finally appeared on Wen Li's face. With the banner and letter of commendation, no matter how much the lucky koi heroine targeted her in the future, her reputation would not be so easily ruined. This trip was worthwhile.
When can it be sent?
Zheng Dong knew Wen Li would like this reward. Life was tough for educated youth sent to the countryside, and many died there. It would be even worse for a pretty girl like Wen Li. With the banner, those with bad intentions would have some reservations.
"I'll submit the application as soon as I get back!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Su Hao was overjoyed to find that his trip had resulted in a letter of commendation and a banner, and he was beaming with delight.
"Thank you, sir!"
"This matter is of great importance, you..."
Su Hao immediately chimed in, "I understand, I understand, we won't say anything!"
"Okay, I've applied for two sleeper berths for you. Someone will take you there in a bit!"
Wen Li's smile grew even brighter. Although tomorrow was approaching, who would rather sit than lie down!
After thanking Zheng Dong, the two returned to their carriage. Perhaps because of the commotion that had just occurred, everyone sat quietly, not daring to speak.
Upon seeing Wen Li and Su Hao return, Deng Wei excitedly stood up. "Haozi, where have you been?"
"We didn't go anywhere. Comrade Wen wanted to switch to a sleeper berth, but he couldn't find a seat by himself, so he asked me for help. Who knew something like this would happen? We hid in the next carriage for a while!"
This was the excuse the two had just come up with.
Yu Shuang glared at Wen Li, annoyed. "Are you two even that close? Asking someone else for help? How shameless!"
Wen Li knew that Yu Shuang and Su Hao had a good relationship, and considering Su Hao's help earlier, she didn't hold it against her and started packing her luggage.
Yu Shuang's temper flared up when she saw that Wen Li was ignoring her.
Su Hao grabbed Yu Shuang, who was about to start cursing again, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"She's bullying you, didn't you see?"
"Who said Comrade Wen bullied me? Mind your own business!"
"You...you..."
Yu Shuang was furious at Su Hao's attitude. She was clearly trying to help him, but he didn't appreciate it. Fine, he deserved to be bullied. She would never help him again. So she sullenly sat back down in her seat.
Su Hao glanced apologetically at Wen Li, who shook her head. Yu Shuang was Yu Shuang, and Su Hao was Su Hao; she wouldn't involve others. Yu Shuang clearly disliked her and was deliberately picking a fight.
