Chapter 333: No Choice, Then Let’s Wipe Them All Out!
Lu Qiaoge took a nap in the afternoon, so she went to bed late at night.
She and Qin Hengzhi chatted sporadically, but after everyone else was asleep, the two of them stopped talking.
The two secretly kissed, then each lay down.
Although it was feigned sleep, she was also about to fall asleep.
But at this moment, she had to sit up.
She grabbed a handful of hair; this wasn’t because it happened to her on the train, but because… even now going out to buy a train ticket requires a letter of introduction, thieves stealing this stuff could never be completely eradicated.
Cities and rural areas all have thieves.
Stealing money, stealing clothes, stealing grain, stealing chickens and touching dogs.
After all, this was a business with no capital.
Even if caught, they wouldn’t be sentenced to death.
If not caught, they could make a windfall and live comfortably.
To say these thieves were really sharp-eyed, the few passengers they spotted really were all carrying huge sums of money.
The most outrageous thing was daring to steal information.
That so-called Liu Daye proposed selling the information, which proved he had special channels.
No method, so take down the whole nest!
Otherwise, what else could be done?
Lu Qiaoge told Xiao Cangcang to continue scouting.
She got up and put on her outerwear and shoes.
It was just after eleven at night; although Qin Hengzhi seemed to be asleep, when Lu Qiaoge sat up, he had already opened his eyes.
Then he put on his shoes and said in a low voice, “I’ll go with you to the toilet.”
Anyway, since boarding, every time Lu Qiaoge went to the toilet, Qin Hengzhi always accompanied her.
Lu Qiaoge checked the time.
In another twenty minutes, it would be the next station, and then these people would get off together at this stop.
Once off the train, the passengers would disperse; even if they discovered money missing and had a suspect, they wouldn’t catch them.
But thirty minutes was enough time.
Lu Qiaoge looked up at the upright Qin Hengzhi and said half-seriously, half-jokingly, “I heard there are thieves active at this time; should the two of us go on patrol?”
Qin Hengzhi: “…”
If he said he wasn’t surprised, that was impossible.
But he didn’t ask Lu Qiaoge why she wanted to do this.
However, he didn’t want Lu Qiaoge to come along and said, “I’ll go find the train conductor to pay attention to nighttime travel safety; you stay here safely.”
He decided to follow the train police from the rear of the train to the front, which should provide some deterrence.
Usually, thieves wouldn’t enter the soft sleeper carriage.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t have a determined look; she just smiled and said, “No, I have to go with you.”
Qin Hengzhi was silent for a moment; then together it was!
Lu Qiaoge didn’t idly ask why he didn’t ask why, but said seriously, “Don’t be careless; be careful if real thieves get cornered and take passengers hostage.”
Qin Hengzhi gave a soft hum, then took Lu Qiaoge to find the train conductor.
First, he showed their work permits; after some pleasantries, Qin Hengzhi stated his purpose.
The train conductor smiled wryly, “It’s not that we don’t care or don’t catch them; it’s that these thieves are slippery—they always find loopholes—and with insufficient police force, most of the time it relies on passengers defending themselves.”
This could be understood.
Qin Hengzhi said, “I remember the section from the previous station to the next is the shortest distance among all stations, right?”
The train conductor nodded, “Yes, it’s also a nighttime travel section; our train police are preparing to patrol the carriages.”
Having a soldier along would be even better.
Although he’d never met him, he knew Qin Hengzhi’s background.
Then he looked at Lu Qiaoge and said, “Comrade Lu, you’re a woman; thieves are basically in the hard seat carriages, which are crowded and chaotic—don’t go along; you stay in the dining car, it’s very safe there.”
Lu Qiaoge blinked her eyes, “He doesn’t feel assured leaving me alone and insists on taking me along.”
Train conductor: …
Representative Qin had such a romantic side.
Sigh, young people—very normal; the train conductor expressed understanding.
Qin Hengzhi just smiled and made no explanation.
Without much nonsense, they started from the rear and screened carriage by carriage.
To say Qin Hengzhi had no ideas or curiosity in his mind now would be false.
He could now confirm that Qiao Ge had a wonderful communication method with animals.
Suddenly wanting to act bravely for a just cause was probably from definite news.
But this actually had precedents.
As far as he knew, there were some internally, like the special departments from folk legends.
So toward Lu Qiaoge, he upheld letting nature take its course.
Whatever Qiao Ge wanted to say or not say, it was her opinion that mattered.
Qin Hengzhi exhorted Lu Qiaoge, “You go in front of me.”
Even putting Qiao Ge behind him, he still wasn’t reassured.
At this time, Xiao Cangcang told Lu Qiaoge: 【Little master, they’ve succeeded—oh my, their hands are really fast; I was watching right beside them and saw it with my own eyes—they must have practiced, even their finger speed was super fast.
Now the money is on a fourteen-year-old boy; he came with Liu Daye and calls Liu Daye grandpa—who knows if it’s real grandpa or fake grandpa.
Then the information is in a weaving bag filled with potatoes, right now under Liu Daye’s feet.
Liu Daye, the boy, and another old woman are in car six; the old woman is a man over fifty pretending.
Wearing a floral headscarf on his head, not speaking, coughing a few times now and then—gotta say, it really sounds like an old woman’s cough.
The other two are in car five; they’re not sitting together…】
Lu Qiaoge praised Xiao Cangcang for getting more and more capable now.
Xiao Cangcang said regretfully: 【If only I had cat claws, or Little Yellow’s teeth that would be good too.】
Lu Qiaoge said to her in her mind, “You’re already very capable.”
The little thing was heaven-defying enough.
At this time, the train police walked in front, followed by the train conductor, then Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi.
Except for Lu Qiaoge, the other three were in uniforms.
So when the crowd passed car five, those two thieves were quiet.
They secretly opened their eyes for a glance, then quickly closed them.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t move; they had to catch the thief leader first before dealing with these two.
With Lu Qiaoge there, naturally everything went smoothly.
She deliberately accidentally tugged off the “old woman”‘s floral headscarf; some nearby passengers who weren’t asleep exclaimed—oh my god, this wasn’t an old woman, it was actually a man.
Qin Hengzhi grabbed the man at once—not undeserved of training from Old Master Qin since childhood; he threw the man to the train police and then pinned down “Liu Daye”; as for the boy, he was surprisingly experienced—he was by the window, and at this time the window could be opened; he seemed to have rehearsed countless times, really opening the window in one smooth motion to jump out.
Lu Qiaoge was faster; she grabbed his clothes in one tug and flung him in front of Qin Hengzhi.
This carriage was also full of people.
Because everything happened too fast, many who were asleep and woken up hadn’t reacted and just stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
Even the seasoned Liu Daye had a moment of stunned daze.
Yeah, Lu Qiaoge’s hand was too fast—who’s little girl had hands not only fast but also so mischievous, going to tug at someone’s old woman’s floral headscarf?
