The Misilin Freight Yard, a small freight station for trains, is usually unmanned. Only the nearby forest farms will put the wood they cut down each year here, and when they put together a train, a train will come and pull them away.

When the five of them appeared here, there was only one old man on duty, stupidly looking at an old TV set in the duty room. Noah went over and knocked on the door, but the old man ignored him, still holding a cat, sitting in a chaise longue, sleepily watching the TV in the house.

Du Ping's guess was correct, and several found 2 hidden campsites along the road, connecting the 3 campsites in a line, and sure enough, they pointed directly to this place: the Misilin Freight Yard.

Dixon passed, kicked the locked door open with one kick, and walked into the duty room with a shotgun. With a gun on the left and a 100-member bill on the right, Dixon pressed the two things against the table in front of the old man and stared at the old man fiercely.

Dixon, "Old fellow, ask you something, is it okay?"

The old man took the money on his right and put it in his pocket and nodded. Dixon turned his head to look at Du Fair, who walked over.

"Is there anyone here who usually comes?"

Old man, "No. In addition to the people from the forest farm who came to deliver the wood, it was the workers of the train transportation company. ”

Du Fair, "No?"

The old man shook his head, and Dixon suddenly snatched the money in his pocket and put it back on the table. The old man looked greedily at the banknote.

Old man, "There will be some homeless people here." ”

"What are they doing here?"

Old man, "Take the train! Take the free train." As long as they don't steal, the people at the tree farm and the train company don't bother to pay attention to them, so there will always be some homeless people here. ”

"What are they doing here?"

The old man, "I don't know! Some people get in the wrong car, come here, and then wait for the new truck to come out, and then leave here." And some of them come often, see them every year, and don't know what they're doing here. ”

Du Ping nodded, Dixon let go of the hand pressed on the money, and the old man hurriedly put the money into his pocket again.

"Did anything happen on March 19 of the year before last?"

Old man, "How can I remember such a long thing!"

As Dixon was about to step forward again, the old man quickly threw out a notebook.

Old man, "This is the work notebook, if anything really happens, I should record it on it." ”

Du Pingping took the notebook, found a bench in the duty room and sat down, and several other people also walked in, some picked up the boiling water on the stove in the duty room and poured it into their own cups and drank it. Others start by taking out hard bread and baking it on the stove. Not caring that this was actually the owner's place, and the old man seemed to not mind still lying in his seat, holding his cat, watching the old TV.

At this time, it became a new base for Du Ping and the others, eating and drinking, Dixon baked a slice of bread and threw it to the old man, who also happily took it and ate as if everyone was a family.

Noah unsaddled, watered, and fed all the horses outside, while Lisa prepared the day's dinner and replenished the water in the water bags inside. Although Mild and Dixon are both old hunters in the forest, they also walked in this forest for a full 3 days, which is not much faster than the murderer who completed the murder in Red Maple Town.

On the bench in the room, Du Ping found what he was looking for, and on March 19 of the previous year, a train of timber was bound for Uzebu in the south. Du Pingping picked up his mobile phone, took a picture of the work diary page by page, and then threw it back to the old man, pointing to the freight plan and asking.

Du Pingping, "Do you have any impression of this freight plan?

Old man, "I really don't remember that. It seems that this season there are always homeless people who go to the cotton-producing areas in the south to work as temporary laborers, earn some money, and play with women. I once asked them why they went there to work, and they said there was wine and women. The stingy cotton farmers in the south found a way to earn back the money they had spent. They are still happy and happy. ”

Things are at an impasse again, so it seems that although the truck was bound for Uzebu, it is highly likely that the guy jumped out of the car halfway through. Even if the destination is the southern cotton producing area, there are many places in the southern cotton producing area, and it is impossible to determine the specific location.

When Du Ping was having a headache and didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a homeless man in a small open space next to the freight yard where a bonfire was being lit, and he didn't know what was roasting.

Du Ping looked at Dixon on the side. Dixon nodded, picked up his shotgun and walked out. Mild followed suit.

Dixon had not yet approached the homeless man, who had already looked at Dixon alertly. Then he shouted twice, which was supposed to warn Dixon not to go by, and seeing that Dixon did not react, he continued to step forward, and immediately ignored his own things, turned his head and ran to the side. Dixon hurriedly raised his gun and chased after him. However, the distance between the two is still getting farther and farther.

Suddenly a horse caught up with Dixon, crossed Dixon, caught up with the tramp, and a heavy object on the horse's back smashed out, knocking the tramp to the ground, and then Dixon had already caught up, and after kicking the tramp to the ground with two kicks, he took a rope from the horse's back and tied the tramp firmly.

It was Mild who rode the horse later. She jumped off her horse and dragged the homeless man back with Dixon.

It's so barbaric and violent! If it's in a metropolis like New York City or Washington, someone will come and accuse you of violating human rights. But when Du Ping looked at the old man, Noah, and Lisa next to him, he found that they showed a very normal attitude. When the old man saw such a story, he was a little excited, and his eyes lit up.

It seems that either vagabond is an unwelcome profession all over the world, or the culture here is such that there is some brutality in law enforcement.

In the open space outside the duty room, the homeless man was hung upside down from head to foot on a tree, and the old man had given up his beloved television, hugged the cat, and sat on the ground to the side, watching the excitement. It was Dixon's fierce-looking guy who interrogated the homeless. He lit a bonfire underneath the homeless man, and was literally roasting the captured homeless man with the fire. Of course, the homeless man was still hung high.

Dixon, "Who are you?"

Tramp, "I'm just a tramp and haven't hurt anyone. ”

Dixon, "Why do you run away when you see me?" ”

Tramp, "because of fear." Big brother, you walk to me with a gun, and I ask you, and you don't answer, can I not be afraid?"

Dixon, "Looks like I'm doing something wrong!"

Homeless, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't have run." ”

Dixon, "You said you didn't hurt anyone, so do you know what happened here?"

Homeless, "I don't know what happened to you here, but there are many places where things happen and we always think we did it. Like stealing. ”

Dixon, "I heard it very clearly that you mean hurting, not stealing. What are you trying to hide?"

Tramp, "Big brother, I mean doing bad things, such as: stealing, stealing, etc. ”

Dixon, "Clear your mind, and tell me when you're ready! ”

Dixon ignored the homeless man and returned to the duty room. This made the old man on duty feel very bored, and then sat back in his chair and watched the old TV.

Dixon entered the duty room, and Du Ping looked at the homeless man hanging on the tree outside, roasted by the fire below, and whispered to Dixon.

Du fair, "Are you okay?"

Dixon, "It's okay! These homeless people are all thieves, stealing chickens and dogs, stealing things, it's too normal for them! He must not be telling the truth! Cool him down first, don't worry! I have experience with this kind of thing, and I have a feeling that this guy may know a lot of things. ”

Du Ping nodded and asked no more.

Soon the homeless man hanging outside began to cry and scream, saying things like "I'm going to die" and "I'm going to sue you", but no one paid attention to him and began to curse.

Dixon was not angry, but from time to time he went over to add some material to the fire to keep it alive, and did not say a word to the bum.

The homeless man began to call people again, first Lisa, then Mild, then Noah, and finally Du Ping. Hope to get someone's attention. But no one paid attention to him, and he began to curse everywhere again. Everyone scolded.

Angry, Noah ran over and gave him a few whips, but he was not angry, but wanted to communicate with Noah and ask Noah for pity.

Dixon, "There's got to be something wrong with this guy!

Looking at the performance of the homeless man, Dixon said to Du Ping with a smile, with some excitement in his expression.

"What's next?"

Dixon, "It's not time yet! This guy is like a lone wolf in the wilderness, the wildness is too heavy, and he has to polish his wildness before he can really interrogate." ”

The homeless man was hung all night, and every time the homeless man was about to fall asleep, Dixon used to pour a glass of cold water on the fire, and the huge water vapor was rising, and every time the homeless man would be awakened again. In the second half of the night, after Dixon also began to sleep, the job was handed over to Noah, who was on duty at night.

The next morning, when Du Ping woke up, he didn't know when he had been replaced by Mild on duty. Mild handed Du a washbasin, hot water, and towels for washing. I'm on hard bread with coffee on the side.

When Du Fair was done, Mild poured all the water that Du Fair used to wash himself into the fire. The homeless man hanging on it shook again as the huge water vapor rose.

"What do you want to know, big sister?" and ask me!"

Mild ignored him, and after pouring the water, he returned to the duty room and poured coffee for Du Fair, and served him toast and fried eggs.

"He's okay, right?"

Mild, "It's okay, I can't die!"

"When will you ask him?"

Mild, "Wait until Dixon wakes up, it's like a hunter in the mountains, you can't change people in between." ”

Du Fair, "Okay!"

Du Pingping didn't ask any more questions, and after solving his own breakfast, he turned on the tablet computer and studied the information of the case. Of course, when Du Ping remembered the homeless man again, he didn't know when, Dixon had already lowered the homeless man from the tree. The homeless man was sitting by the fire on the side, drinking water constantly.

Although I was curious, I still decided that I was not in a hurry to get over without Dixon's request.

…………………………

After a while, Dixon finally walked over with the homeless man. Walking into the duty room, Dixon threw him a loaf of bread.

Dixon, "Tell them what I just said." ”

Tramp, "All?"

Dixon, "All." ”

"Okay then! My name is Leon, from Golden Bay." About 5 years ago, I went bankrupt and became a homeless man after my wife divorced me with the children. ”

Leon, the homeless man, began to eat and explain in frustration.

Leon, "I started out in the Golden Bay City Park and the Riverside Park. Later, because of the little informant fees of the police, he testified against a drug dealer who was distributing pills in a city park. Although the drug dealer was arrested, their brother went looking for me everywhere to kill me in revenge. I had no choice but to run out of Jinwan. At that time, I casually climbed into an empty train cargo car, thinking that as long as I left Jinwan, I would escape with my life. I didn't want to be surprised by the guys in the middle. ”

Du Pingping, "What person?"

Leon," they call themselves wilderness wanderers. ”

Du Ping, "Where did you come from?"

Leon, "I don't know. Trains, wagons, and passenger cars are not the same, and sometimes they don't know what kind of wilderness they stop for hours or more than a dozen hours, and I know what the place is. It was one night, I was sleeping in a daze, and when I heard movement, I saw five people coming up. I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, and when I saw that they were carrying something to eat, I went and begged for it. After that, I started talking to them. They said they were wilderness wanderers and asked me if I wanted to join. I saw that they were mixing well, and when I left the city, I realized that I couldn't even find a stutter or a bottle of water to drink. If you don't agree, you can quickly worship the eldest brother and join the gang. ”

Du Pingping, "Then why did you do it alone?"

Leon, "I didn't do it alone! People like us, in the peak season, we all get together and eat together." When it comes to the famine season, you can only take care of yourself and find food by yourself. ”

"When is the peak season?"

Leon, "It started when the weather was warm, and I first went to the south to help people pick cotton and earn a little money, but at that time I drank and played with women and spent it." This can be chic for more than a month. After that, there was something to gather there anyway. In autumn, it is time to go your separate ways, prepare food and clothing, and prepare for the winter. ”

"What are you doing here?"

Leon, "Winter! It's not too cold here, and there is no shortage of food, wood, or water in the forest." Except for being a little lonely, life is pretty good. ”

"Why don't you go to the city for the winter?"

Leon, "What's good in the city, you can only pick up other people's garbage to live, and you will be looked down upon by others." Policemen, gangsters, community workers, etc., none of them can be offended. That's chic here!"

Dixon, "Don't say it all!"

Dixon, who was next to him, began to remind him that Leon had to change the subject.

Lyon, "Actually, there are many people like us who are half-bandits, half-thieves, half-workers, half-scavengers. If you have a job to do, you can do some odd jobs, and if you are bored, you will not do it. It's common to steal something, grab something. Anyway, all we stole and robbed was food and clothes, and even if most of them caught us, they would be beaten at most. ”

Dixon, "What about you?"

Leon, "Stealing is absolutely stealing, but robbing is absolutely not." ”

Dixon, "Tell me what's important!"

Leon, "The guy I used to follow was actually nice to me! and they had a good life, and they were always drinking. Once, when I drank too much, several people took turns bragging about it. This one said that he killed one person in his hands this year, and the other said that it was too little, and I was 3 people this year, and there was another person, or you were at stake, I only had 2. The last one said, "What is this, I've killed a litter." I was scared when I heard it, so I ran away while they were drinking too much. ”

Du Fair, "When?"

Leon, "Two years ago! After that, I had been avoiding them, or I wouldn't have come to this place where birds don't. ”

Du Ping looked at Dixon next to him.

"It doesn't seem to be telling the truth." ”

Leon, "I'm telling the truth. ”

But no one paid any attention to him, and Dixon came over to tie him up again.

Leon, "I said, I said, they wanted me to kill people, so they officially joined the gang." I didn't dare and ran. ”

Du fair, "It's not right either!"

Leon, "It's true!"

But no one paid any attention to him, and Dixon came up and kicked him on the ground, took the rope and began to tie it up.

Leon, "I'm telling the truth!"

Dixon had already begun to drag him out of the room.

Leon, "I'm here because they have their standing point!"

Du made a gesture, and Dixon stopped at the door.

Leon, "I've had a bit of a mixed up this year, and I haven't gotten enough food for the winter, so I think of it." There should be a regular hiding place for them, and there must be food and other supplies in the hiding place!"

"Why do you have a standing hiding place here?"

Leon, "I do too many bad things! I'm always afraid that others will catch them, so I set up points everywhere." I like to find some remote and less crowded places. This is exactly what it is. ”

"How do you know they're not coming here this year?"

Leon, "because one of them did a crime here, and they abandoned it, so I dared to come." ”

Du Ping finally smiled.

"Let's talk slowly. ”
