The middle-aged man's face turned pale. After he understood Su Congwen's words, he realized what the so-called white powder in the box was.
That's a man, that's a soldier!
Everyone understood this and looked at the box in awe, speechless.
Lin Ya felt ashamed as she thought about her vague rejection and disgust just now. How could she do such a thing?
The aunt also looked remorseful. If she had known that she would not be able to let this person open the box no matter what she said, what is this?
"White powder, isn't that..."
"My mother, isn't this person's behavior an insult to the martyrs?"
"It's too much. How can you touch people and things casually!"
The onlookers were filled with indignation and began to criticize the middle-aged man.
"Sorry, I can't check the box for you." Su Congwen told the police, "I went to Ji Province to send him home. I didn't want others to disturb him along the way."
On the final journey home, he hoped that Brother Zhang would have a peaceful life.
The policeman looked serious and nodded, "I understand."
"But I'd still like you to come with me to make a transcript."
"Okay." Su Congwen nodded.
"And you." The policeman looked at Lin Ya and said, "Let's go together, too." Since this was the person involved, he naturally had to follow him.
"Okay... okay." Lin Ya was still a little scared, but when she looked at Su Congwen, she suddenly became more confident.
Then the police officer turned to look at the middle-aged man who was already panic-stricken, and said in a cold tone, "I'm going through my personal belongings privately. Come with me."
Insulting a soldier, or a soldier who died, can't just be ignored!
The middle-aged man did not dare to say a word and could only follow them away. This time Su Congwen took all his things.
There was a police station on the train, and the police took a few people there. After a few words with his colleagues, the middle-aged man was taken aside for questioning.
Lin Ya and Su Congwen also told what happened.
After listening, the policeman nodded, "We have noticed this small criminal gang for a long time. In the past year, they have carried out thefts and robberies on trains many times, and even attacked women. We also got the news this time. I was waiting in the car, ready to catch each of them and steal the stolen goods."
Capture the thief first and capture the king first. The leader had been caught by them long ago. When they went to arrest Biaozi and other accomplices, they found that Su Congwen had caught them first.
"Comrade Su, thank you for today." The policeman said to Su Congwen gratefully.
According to their description, the girl named Lin Ya was in a very dangerous situation at that time. If he had not arrived quickly and rescued the girl, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"The responsibility lies." Su Congwen said this sentence again.
The policeman was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and repeated, "Yes, that's where the responsibility lies."
One of them is a public security officer and the other is a soldier. Although the division of labor is different, in the final analysis, their responsibilities are to protect the safety of people's lives and property and to protect the peace and stability of the country.
"Then you sign, and that's the end of the matter." The police gave the transcript to Lin Ya and Su Congwen to sign.
"We will handle the rest. Don't worry, these people are habitual offenders. They will be punished for several crimes, which is enough for them."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Ya smiled gratefully.
The policeman nodded, returned the things found from Biaozi to Lin Ya, and warned: "Next time, little girl, don't wear this kind of gold and silver jewelry when you go out. It's too conspicuous and it's easy for others to stare at you. Also pay more attention.”
"I know." Lin Ya nodded in shame. She was indeed too careless.
"Okay, let's go."
"Uh-huh."
Su Congwen and Lin Ya walked out of the police room. On the way back, Lin Ya thanked him in a low voice.
"Thank you for saving me."
"No need." Su Congwen said calmly.
Lin Ya looked at his cold expression and said nothing more. She thought that if it were anyone else, he would come to the rescue.
After returning to their seats, the aunt greeted the two of them with a smile.
"You're back? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Lin Ya said.
"This is really scary." The aunt patted her chest with a frightened look on her face. "These people are so courageous. They dare to steal money on the train. It's really outrageous."
When the two of them were away just now, she had already listened to other people talking about what happened just now.
"Comrade, do you want some fruit?" After knowing that Su Congwen was a soldier, the aunt became even more enthusiastic, "I have oranges here."
"No, thank you."
"Then..." The aunt looked at the box in his hand, thought for a while and said to Lin Ya, "Girl, how about I sit with you for a while, and I will put something for this comrade in my place. He keeps holding it. It's heavy and tiring." She estimated that the man might not come back that easily.
"Okay." Lin Ya agreed quickly.
The aunt sat over and the seat was vacant.
Su Congwen did not move, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
How heavy is this? Only living people have weight. For those who leave, only the thought of going home is left to support the light soul.
Seeing him closing his eyes, Auntie and Lin Ya stopped talking for fear of disturbing his rest.
The middle-aged man never came back, and they were happy that there was no annoying person to disturb them.
The train traveled all the way over mountains and ridges, and when it arrived in Hebei Province and entered Anding City, everyone was exhausted. These hard seats were really not meant for people to sit on. After sitting for so long, my legs were swollen.
"The train has arrived at the station. Passengers please take your luggage and get off the train in an orderly manner." the announcement sounded.
Su Congwen opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
"Comrade, we're here." The aunt said with a smile.
"Yes." Su Congwen nodded slightly, "I'll leave first."
"Okay, peace."
"Thanks."
Su Congwen was about to get off the train with his luggage.
"Hey!" Lin Ya stopped him, "Can you tell me your name?"
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to know the name of the person who saved me."
"No need." Su Congwen said, "Just remember that I am a soldier."
After saying that, he strode away.
Lin Ya was behind him, watching him leave from a distance. She didn't look back until Su Congwen disappeared into the crowd.
She pursed her lips, feeling some inexplicable emotions in her heart.
"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Lin Ya's father, who came to pick up his daughter, looked at her and asked strangely.
"It's nothing." Lin Ya shook her head and put away the messy thoughts in her mind, "Let's go, Dad."
"okay."
Father and daughter also drifted apart.
Su Congwen took two more bus trips and walked a long way before finally arriving at the destination of his trip, Brother Zhang's hometown, Daxing Village, Xiliang Town, Anding City.
As soon as he entered the village entrance, he saw the yellow horn tree that Brother Zhang was talking about.
