Chapter 231: Yun Jiao Helps Catch A Thief
“Shut up!”
The train conductor was also angry.
It wasn’t that they were judging by appearance; what kind of thief brings a child?
Moreover, after understanding the whole situation, they were more inclined to believe that the couple was making a fuss unreasonably.
This was clearly holding a grudge because of yesterday’s incident.
That old person was also imposing; there might really be some precious items in his luggage that were inconvenient to inspect in public.
Now, there were no surveillance methods like in later times, and the thief might not even be in this carriage. It would be too difficult to find a thief on a train with so many people.
Furthermore, when the train stopped at the next station, the thief might get off with the crowd, and then escape completely, making it harder than reaching heaven to find them.
So, for a time, the matter fell into a stalemate.
“I can find them.”
At this moment, Yun Jiao, who had been quiet all along, spoke.
Everyone’s gaze immediately fell on her.
Yun Jiao looked at the train conductor, her clear, bright pupils filled with seriousness.
“I remember that person’s scent.”
Shen Yunlian and the others worried, “This, Jiaojiao, don’t push yourself.”
Yun Jiao shook her head, “I’m not pushing myself.”
Although the matter was a bit absurd, with the mindset of trying anything to see if it worked, the train conductor eventually took Yun Jiao to look for the thief.
Regarding the people in their carriage, Yun Jiao directly shook her head and said no.
The plump woman and her husband clearly didn’t believe Yun Jiao at all, shouting for the conductor to arrest Yun Linhai and his group.
“Comrades, if you continue to make a scene and obstruct official duties, you will be invited to the police station to have a good chat when we reach the station.”
The two immediately dared not make a fuss, but their expressions clearly showed their dissatisfaction.
Everyone else was too lazy to pay attention to them.
The train conductor led Yun Jiao from one carriage to another.
During this time, when he asked anything, Yun Jiao shook her head.
It wasn’t until the fourth carriage.
Yun Jiao, holding the train conductor’s hand as they walked, suddenly stopped in front of a couple.
Among them, the woman held a sleeping child and had a simple expression, “Conductor comrade, what is it?”
The man scratched his head, “Did I disturb someone by smoking yesterday? I promise, I won’t do it again.”
The woman immediately glared at the man, “I told you not to smoke, you…”
Before they could finish speaking, several train conductors, under the leader’s signal, directly moved to arrest them.
In that instant, the simple and honest expressions on their faces completely vanished, and they struggled quite forcefully.
The man tried to break through by climbing over the seats behind him.
The woman, on the other hand, threw the child she was holding away from her.
With this action, the conductor understood everything; this child was not the woman’s at all.
Instantly, the entire carriage descended into chaos.
The child was narrowly saved by a conductor who lunged and used himself as a cushion to catch the child on the ground.
The man was surrounded, and he quickly grabbed the only child in the crowd, using Yun Jiao as a hostage.
“Don’t you all come any closer, if you dare, I’ll kill him!”
The human trafficker thief held a dagger, currently at Yun Jiao’s neck.
Because there were too many people and it was too chaotic to get out, Yun Jiao, who was caught and used as a hostage, was an unlucky person:…………
The conductors surrounded him but dared not act rashly.
“Don’t do anything rash. If you really kill someone, the nature of your offense will be different.”
“Let the person go, and we will consider lenient treatment.”
“Jiaojiao!”
Yun Linhai and the others came over and saw this scene; the two elders were so scared they almost fainted.
They shouldn’t have let Jiaojiao come; what was this all about!
Everyone was in a panic and tense.
Only Yun Jiao, on her beautiful little face, appeared calm, even having the mood to wave to her father and the others.
The train conductor’s leader had been paying attention to Yun Jiao, and upon seeing her demeanor, his mouth twitched.
Was this how a hostage facing life and death should behave?
“Jiaojiao, stop playing around…”
Old Master Yun’s voice trembled.
Yun Jiao said “oh,” and raised her hand, gripping the human trafficker’s wrist.
The man looked down, “You, for me…” behave yourself.
Before he could finish speaking, with a “crack,” followed by the man’s screams.
His wrist bone was dislocated.
The dagger fell to the ground, and his hand hung limply.
Without time to be shocked, the train conductor’s leader and his men quickly apprehended him.
Yun Jiao walked towards Yun Linhai and the others.
“Grandma, Grandpa, are you okay?”
“Jiaojiao, are you okay?”
A group of relatives surrounded Yun Jiao, checking her all over and breathing a sigh of relief when they confirmed she was fine.
“Mommy was so scared.”
Shen Yunlian hugged her, her eyes red.
When she saw the dagger at her neck, her heart almost stopped.
Yun Jiao comforted them, “I’m fine, the bad guy couldn’t beat me.”
The train conductors searched both the man and the woman, finding gold jewelry on them.
The plump woman and her husband immediately rushed over, “It’s ours, it’s ours.”
“No, there’s more!”
“We had so much gold jewelry, how is it that we only have one gold ring and bracelet? Where’s my husband’s thick gold necklace?”
The train conductors were speechless; these two were truly oddballs among oddballs.
Who would wear so much gold jewelry when going out?
Wasn’t that openly telling thieves they had a lot of money and to come and steal or rob?
And traveling on a train for a long distance.
The composition of people on a train was very complex, coming from all over, and even with train conductors patrolling at any time, petty theft and similar incidents could not be completely prevented.
“They must have accomplices, and your gold jewelry was probably distributed to their accomplices.”
And these two were actually human traffickers.
The child who was thrown out was brought by them.
They needed to interrogate the two immediately and try to catch their remaining accomplices!
The couple who lost so much gold jewelry continued to make trouble, demanding that the train conductors find their other gold jewelry.
The train conductors were impatient and simply took the two, along with their son, away.
The train conductor’s leader did not leave but crouched down to talk to Yun Jiao.
“Little friend, you are truly amazing. When the human traffickers are caught, we will give you a reward.”
Hearing this, the Yun family members were all happy.
This was glory!
In this era, awards issued by public relations departments carried great prestige and were a source of honor for the entire family.
Especially for people from rural areas like them.
“Can you tell me, Uncle, how did you find them? And how did you dislocate that human trafficker’s hand?”
Yun Jiao: “I smelled it.”
“Everyone’s scent is different.”
Yun Jiao’s five senses were much sharper than ordinary people, and in her previous life, as a merfolk, she had many animalistic traits.
For example, animals mostly relied on scent to track prey.
And every prey had a different scent.
It was like how cats or dogs differentiate people by smell.
To Yun Jiao, everyone had a unique scent, and even if they were similar, they were still different.
Moreover, she herself was alert in unfamiliar environments. She knew about the appearance of that person last night and their departure, but she didn’t bother to interfere.
