The news that Ma Kui and Wang Xin were transferred to the criminal police team soon spread throughout the compound, but they left Ningyang by train the next day and headed for Harbin.
Before leaving, Ma Kui came to see Zhou Chen specially, because he didn't know how long it would take him to come back, and he was worried about his wife, so he asked Zhou Chen to help take care of her illness before leaving.
Zhou Chen naturally agreed. After all, his schedule was relatively fixed now, so he had enough time to give Wang Sufang acupuncture treatment.
After becoming criminal police, Ma Kui and Wang Xin were indeed very busy and had not returned for several days.
Zhou Chen has been quite busy these days. He asked the two old men, Yu Xingguo and Chu Jing, to each take on a newcomer, and he was responsible for mediating and filling in the gaps at any time.
The three newcomers are not as motivated as Ma Kui and Wang Xin, and are far inferior to Yu Xingguo, so Zhou Chen, the captain of the flight attendant, naturally has to set an example and train them well.
Especially the old conductor Chu Jing, who was nearly ten years older than Zhou Chen. He was not a blessing to the young conductor Zhou Chen. He was not diligent at work and was always procrastinating. After being taught a lesson by Zhou Chen twice, he became more restrained, but he was still not as good as Ma Kui and Wang Xin.
The two newcomers don't have so many tricks, but they have no experience, and it will be impossible to train them well without three or two months.
"Zhou Chen, are you going out?"
"Well, go out and buy some meat."
When walking out of the gate of the compound, Zhou Chen saw Ma Yan playing with Ma Jian, and chatted with her for a few words.
"Do you know what case my dad and Wang Xin are working on? Why haven't they sent any news yet?"
"How would I know? They have all been transferred to the Criminal Police Team. I am just a flight attendant. Two different departments."
After chatting for a few sentences, Zhou Chen was ready to leave, but suddenly, he looked behind the house on the right in front of him. Just now, he felt someone staring at him, not the kind of quick glance, but a gaze that lasted for a long time.
He greeted Ma Yan calmly and walked forward.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen walked around and came to the back of the house he had just looked at, and sure enough, he saw a sneaky figure.
Hou Sanjin was standing behind the wall, secretly watching Ma Jian playing in the distance, his eyes full of excitement and expectation.
Ever since he learned that his son who was abandoned on the train was adopted by Ma Kui, he would sneak here every once in a while to see his son from afar.
He didn't dare to acknowledge his son because he was very clear about his current situation. His son would have a bleak future if he followed him, and he couldn't support a child.
Now his son is adopted by Ma Kui, a policeman. He has met Ma Kui several times and knows what kind of person Ma Kui is, so he is very relieved that his son will be very happy in the Ma family, happier than with him, his biological father.
The fact was just as he thought. His son had been in the Ma family for more than two years and was raised very well. He had a father, a mother, and a sister. The neighbors were also very kind...
Seeing his son being taken back to the compound by Ma Yan, he wiped his eyes, put a smile on his face, slowly stood up, and prepared to leave.
But the moment he turned around, he was so scared that he almost screamed.
"you you you……"
Hou Sanjin pointed at Zhou Chen with trembling hands, his face full of fear and panic. He recognized Zhou Chen.
"We meet again, Hou Sanjin."
"Zhou, Officer Zhou."
Hou Sanjin forced himself to calm down, but his trembling tone still showed his panic at the moment. He had to be panicked. How could a thief not be panicked when seeing a policeman?
"Officer Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Chen snorted, "I should be the one asking this question. You were so engrossed in watching that I didn't even notice you standing behind me for a long time. What bad intentions do you have?"
Hou Sanjin looked flustered and explained hastily, "I, I didn't mean to do anything bad, Officer Zhou, I really have given up evil and turned to good. Uncle Ma can prove that I am a good person now, really, a good person who makes a living."
"Good guy? Haha."
Zhou Chen knew that Hou Sanjin would become a drug dealer in the future and would be sentenced to death. Not to mention the future, even now, Hou Sanjin could not be considered a good person.
"Don't try to fool me. Don't think I can't see that you were staring at Xiao Ma Jian just now?"
"I didn't, you misunderstood. I actually wanted to come to see Uncle Ma, but I heard that Uncle Ma was not here..."
"Okay, stop pretending in front of me. Your little tricks are all flaws in my eyes."
Zhou Chen was too lazy to play dumb with him and said directly: "Since you don't want to say it yourself, then I will say it for you."
"We found Ma Jian on the Ningha Line train and Uncle Ma took him home to raise him. Unfortunately, his parents never came to look for him. At that time, Aunt Ma was diagnosed with a disease and had to put him in an orphanage. But later, Uncle Ma's family couldn't bear to part with Ma Jian and took him back from the orphanage. From then on, he became the son of the Ma family, Ma Jian."
"Why was Ma Jian abandoned on the train? Who abandoned him on the train? Hou Sanjin, do you want me to continue?"
Hou Sanjin's face turned pale. He took two steps back in panic and said in horror, "You, you know everything?"
"Otherwise, do you really think we police officers are useless? Who would hide and watch a child for no reason? Who else could it be except the child's biological parents?"
Hou Sanjin suddenly rushed towards Zhou Chen, bent his legs, knelt down in front of Zhou Chen, and grabbed Zhou Chen's clothes with both hands.
"Officer Zhou, I beg you, please don't tell Uncle Ma about this. I am sorry for him. I am an irresponsible father. I don't have the ability to raise him, so I had to leave him on the train. Uncle Ma was kind-hearted and adopted this child. I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life. I......"
"Shut up, you."
Zhou Chen rudely interrupted his plea and snorted, "Your gratitude is worthless to me. Even if you don't beg me, I want to warn you not to come again. You are not worthy of being Xiao Ma Jian's father. His surname is Ma now, and he is Uncle Ma's son. If you really want to do good for him, remember my words and don't bother him again. I don't think he wants to have a biological father who abandons him and is a criminal."
Hou Sanjin felt as if he had been hit hard. His hands loosened unconsciously and he collapsed to the ground, his face pale and his body trembling slightly.
"You are right. I am not worthy of being his father, nor am I worthy of seeing him. For his own good, I should not show up. What you said is right, yes, yes..."
Zhou Chen didn't feel any sympathy for Hou Sanjin at all. Human traffickers were vicious, but parents who abandoned their own children were not much better. All he felt was disgust and nausea.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me. I'm not Uncle Ma, and I don't have any patience for you. Now that I've found you today, in addition to the matter of Ma Jian, I also want to give you a warning. Don't commit crimes again in the future, whether it's petty theft, murder, arson, or drug trafficking. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to consider your biological son. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, Zhou Chen no longer cared about Hou Sanjin who was sitting on the ground and turned away.
It is difficult to persuade a damned cunning person with kind words, and it is difficult to show great compassion to a self-aware person.
He has already said this much. If Hou Sanjin still cannot understand, then he is courting death. He can't care less. He is a policeman now, but he is not a saint and cannot save those who have allowed themselves to fall into depravity.
Hou Sanjin watched Zhou Chen go away with an extremely complicated expression on his face. Zhou Chen's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were all facts and he could not deny them.
After a long time, he slowly stood up, took one last look at the courtyard, tears streaming down his face, and finally gritted his teeth and quickly left.

Chapter 1365 Encounter on the train, that girl
After the summer vacation, it is the busiest period for trains again, because during this period, major universities across the country start their school year and students have to report to school. In this era, trains are the most convenient and cost-effective way to travel.
After training the newcomers for two months, they finally got on the right track, so Zhou Chen directly found Captain Hu and transferred back the old flight attendant Chu Jing who had been transferred here before.
This Chu Jing had worked under him for two months and had been punished by him several times, but he was still a veteran.
It would be fine if he was just trying to get by, and he would avoid problems whenever possible. He even made a mistake and violated the principles once, so he transferred him away. He didn't want to have such a person under his command.
The two newcomers grew up very well under his training. He and Yu Xingguo each took care of one, and they were able to handle it on the train.
Zhou Chen took the newcomer Qin Yan to patrol the carriage. Looking at the many young people with smiling faces in the car, Qin Yan was full of envy.
"It's great to be a college student. After graduation, you can become a cadre."
Zhou Chen glanced at him and said, "Why, are you envious?"
Qin Yan nodded and said, "Well, I wanted to go to college at first, but my grades were not very good, so I could only go to the police academy."
"Don't be envious. College students are great, but we train police officers aren't bad either. This is a stable job. Others want it but can't. Besides, who says college students will definitely have a good future? There will definitely be many college students who won't do as well as you."
Zhou Chen's words of comfort made most of the envy on Qin Yan's face disappear, but he didn't quite agree with the second half of Zhou Chen's sentence. Everyone knows how precious and scarce college students are. Although their work in the Railway Bureau is also very precious, no matter what, it can never compare to college students.
Zhou Chen did not explain much. It was true that all college students in the 1980s were proud students, but 20 or 30 years later, college students were really worthless.
Of course, what he said about being worthless is only relatively speaking. Even decades later, the starting point of a university degree will be higher than that of a large number of people.
"It's useless to envy others. Just work hard. Maybe there will be college students working under you in the future."
Zhou Chen gave an encouraging word. Although Qin Yan thought it was impossible, he became motivated after imagining it.
After arriving at the final stop, Harbin, the train was repaired at Harbin Station while Zhou Chen went to buy some things.
When the train was repaired and ready to depart, the train attendants and conductors started to get busy again.
Zhou Chen and a few others were maintaining order. There were many passengers on the route from Harbin to Ningyang, many of whom were elderly people with young people. It was obvious at a glance that they were parents sending their children to college, carrying large and small bags, which made getting on the bus extremely difficult and crowded.
"Slow down, don't rush, get on the bus in an orderly manner. The more crowded it is, the slower you will get on..."
Zhou Chen and others were shouting to maintain order, and even the radio was giving reminders, but this is often the case in this era, with everyone rushing in, it is difficult to maintain order.
Zhou Chen, who was maintaining order, relied on his great strength to stand firmly in the crowd and control the passengers at the door of the carriage he was responsible for.
When most of the people on his side had gathered, he went to the front to help Qin Yan and the others maintain order among the passengers.
After finally getting started, Zhou Chen and his team finally got some breathing space.
Another newcomer, You Yuejin, took off his hat and wiped the sweat off his head.
"Oh my god, I'm so exhausted. The starting and ending points are the most tiring. It's not easy at all."
Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao You, you've followed many trains, you should be used to it."
He usually called Qin Yan by his name, but when it came to You Yuejin, he didn't dare to call him by his full name. Calling out the name 'You Yuejin' was really embarrassing.
"You guys take a rest for a while, I'll go around the carriage."
Soon after entering the passenger compartment, I heard a familiar tone. Cai Xiaonian began his performance again, saying a long string of words in one breath, making the passengers laugh non-stop.
Zhou Chen walked over only after Cai Xiaonian finished speaking.
"Not bad, Xiaonian, you are becoming more and more eloquent now."
Cai Xiaonian said proudly: "Of course, I rely on this to make a living. Are you going on patrol?"
"Well, let's see. You got here without any trouble, right?"
"I met a fare-evader and I used my eloquence to make him pay for his ticket."
"Not bad, you're a good train conductor in the future."
Cai Xiaonian's eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "Of course, you came later than me, but you have already become a train police captain. Even if I can't compare to you, I can't let you fall behind too much. It won't be long before I can become a train..."
"Snapped."
A slap landed on Cai Xiaonian's hat, and Lu Hongxing walked out from behind.
"You are really good, kid. I haven't even retired yet, but you've already started thinking about taking my position. You are really brave."
Seeing Lu Hongxing, Cai Xiaonian hurriedly said in a flattering manner: "Master, I was joking with Zhou Chen. If you don't retire, I will definitely not be able to be a train conductor."
"Are you hoping that I will retire soon?"
"No no."
Ignoring the master and disciple, Zhou Chen walked towards the next carriage.
Arriving at the next carriage, Zhou Chen first asked the passengers blocking the door to make room, and then continued to walk inside.
But suddenly, he stopped and looked ahead with blank eyes, only to see a young girl a few meters away, walking towards him across the aisle.
The reason why he was stunned was that the girl who was walking slowly towards him looked very much like his previous wife in the world of “The Story of Minglan”, Sheng Hualan.
Even though they were several meters apart, he could still see clearly that this girl really looked like Hua Lan. They looked 70% similar, but their temperaments were completely different.
This was not the first time that Zhou Chen had traveled through the world of film and television. He had traveled through it many times, and this was not the first time he had met someone with a similar appearance. But even so, the moment he saw this girl, his heart still trembled violently.
He was suddenly stunned, but he reacted quickly and walked towards her slowly. Just when he was about to get close to the girl, his eyes suddenly focused, and then his body suddenly rushed out, crossing a distance of several meters in two steps, and stretched out his right hand.
Zhou Chen's sudden action startled the girl opposite who looked very much like Hua Lan. Even though Zhou Chen was wearing a police uniform, she instinctively wanted to step back.
But just as she was about to move back, she was stunned the next moment.
Zhou Chen's right hand stopped just to the left of her head, with a black suitcase in his hand. If Zhou Chen hadn't grabbed it, the suitcase would have fallen on her.
"Are you okay? Are you scared?"
A gentle voice sounded in her ears. Peng Yongli stared at the tall, handsome and upright flight attendant in front of her, and forgot to speak for a moment.
Zhou Chen smiled at her. No matter who this girl was, he could treat her gently just because her face was similar to Hua Lan.
He put the bag back on the luggage rack, tucked it in to make sure it wouldn't fall, then let go.
"Thank you just now." Peng Yongli said gratefully to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "No, this is what I should do. I am the chief train attendant of this train. Zhou Chen, I see that you look like a college student."
Peng Yongli nodded her head and replied, "Yes, I am a college student studying in Ningyang. My name is Peng Yongli."
Faced with this young policeman with a gentle smile, and considering that Zhou Chen had just helped her, she unconsciously felt more favorable towards him and told him her name.
"It takes more than a day to get from Harbin to the final stop, Ningyang. If you encounter any problems on the train, you can come to me directly."
Zhou Chen's gentle tone put Peng Yongli at ease and she nodded gently, "Thank you."
It was just a small episode, and the two soon separated. Zhou Chen continued to patrol the next carriage, and Peng Yongli returned to her seat.
