Chapter 55: On the Train

"Bang dang bang", the train spewing black smoke laboriously pulled a dozen carriages forward, and the trees on both sides were slowly receding.

Su Hongniang's face was solemn, but she was very curious in her heart, although she had heard him say that this iron machine with infinite power had long been heard, but sitting in this machine, the feeling of dizziness was indescribably strange.

This is a passenger carriage, the environment is very elegant, the windows are hung with lace white gauze curtains, the wooden seats wrapped with sponge, the coffee table fixed on the carriage is covered with white and green checkered tablecloths, Ye Zhao and Su Hongniang sit next to the window.

There are only a dozen passengers in the whole carriage, most of them are Westerners, except for Ye Zhao and Su Hongniang plus two guards, leaning on the black uniformed railway patrol in the last row to take a boring break, the only Chinese passenger is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a calm bearing, sitting at the next table by the window, with a golden knife in Malaysia, and his eyes slightly closed, like an old monk in a fixed place.

Nowadays, there are very few passengers who take the train, Guangzhou to Foshan is mostly freight, mainly steel, coal, wood, etc., the fixed shift is a week, or there are cargo owners to hire temporary overtime, the passenger carriage has hung three sections at most, two of which are the Foshan Patrol Bureau to the Guangzhou General Administration to train chartered buses.

Nowadays, most of the people who take the train are businessmen, and the environment of the carriage is quiet, like a tea house, and the price is also extremely expensive, five dimes of silver per person, otherwise this additional carriage will not be able to recover the coal money burned. However, I believe that with the change of people's thinking and the number of people taking the train, the ticket price will be lowered.

Opposite the matchmaker, Ye Zhao flipped through the information of the Shi family, the fleet had an accident in Xinjiapo, most of which was done by the Shi Daguan who had been taught a lesson by Jiner's grandmother, and the Daguan was bailed out of prison by his second uncle at that time, it is said that the uncle and nephew soon returned to Xinjiapo, and they were afraid that they would not be able to get out of the fleet.

Shi Daguan is not capable of staying in the shipwrecked fleet, and there must be people who bring weight to the family sometimes, but I don't know if the Shi family is involved.

The information of these members of the family was compiled by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia were extremely wealthy, and the Internal Affairs Bureau had set up archives.

Xinjiapo is a British territory, and it is the Xinjiapo authorities who seize the fleet, and in the China Sea in Southeast Asia, Britain has a permanent fleet to escort merchant ships to suppress pirates and safeguard the interests of the colonies.

Just pondering, a crisp voice came from the carriage: "Hot water, coffee, flower tea, tea eggs!" A girl in a dark blue uniform walked out of the private room at the front of the carriage with a basket, although the journey was short, but the fast food service was still available.

The girl naturally belonged to the Canton Railway, and repeated it in English as she walked, just a few words, although a little stiff, but also understandable.

Several foreign businessmen gestured and said stiff Chinese for coffee and tea eggs, and the girls were very skilled in coping, and they knew how to speak in English.

Su Hongniang watched this scene quietly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"When", when the girl passed by the middle-aged Chinese, the basket accidentally rubbed the black cloth burden that the Chinese put on the coffee table, and the burden fell to the ground, the girl was startled, and hurriedly said sorry, and wanted to help him pack the package.

Who knew that the girl suddenly screamed, and even took a few steps back, and the original black cloth burden fell to the ground, scattered slightly, revealing a cold dagger, and faintly seemed to see something bloody in the baggage.

The middle-aged man glanced at the girl, slowly picked up the baggage, slowly tied it up, and put it back on the coffee table with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the patrol who was napping in the last row had already been alarmed, and strode over, asking as he walked, "Xiao Xia, what's the matter?" Obviously, the two often mingle in the same carriage and are very familiar with each other.

The girl pointed at the middle-aged man with a pale face and said, "He, he has a murder weapon on his body, and it seems that there is a human head in the package!" ”

The black-clothed patrol was a young man, his face changed greatly, and he immediately took out his revolver, pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "You, open the baggage!" Hurry up! ”

Their commotion finally attracted Ye Zhao's attention, and the two guards also slowly got up, and seemed to come to Ye Zhao's seat to watch the excitement, so they naturally stood in a guard position.

"Hurry up!" The young man patrolled and gestured with a pistol, while on the other side, most of the foreign merchants didn't know what was going on and watched this scene blankly.

The middle-aged man stared at the young man for a few moments, then took the baggage, opened it slowly, and took out the contents in the same way, a dagger, a wooden box, and a few pieces of clothing.

The young man pointed his gun at the wooden box and said, "Open it!" ”

Just now, the wooden box broke a line, and the girl just saw that there was a bloodshot hula in the wooden box.

The middle-aged man slowly opened the wooden box, the girl's heart rose to her throat, and she took a few steps back, while the pistol of the young man's patrol was tightly aimed at the middle-aged man, staring nervously at his movements.

The wooden box was finally opened, but inside was a bloody pig's head, which could be seen to be a little piglet.

"What's going on? Why is there a pig's head? The young man looked at him vigilantly.

"Countrymen, worship ancestors." The middle-aged man's tone was flat.

"Nonsense! Need to come all the way to Guangzhou to buy pig's head? After a little thought, the young man pulled out the handcuffs from behind and said, "According to the railway law of public security, you will be temporarily detained for investigation!" "Although it is not uncommon for a single guest to carry a dagger in these troubled times, this person is also too suspicious.

Ye Zhao looked at this scene, and said in his heart that it seems that the census and the identification certificate with photos are also going to be put on the agenda, but there are several benefits, one is that this ID card can enhance the pride and cohesion of local residents, and the other is more beneficial to public security. And this young man's cleverness, Ye Zhao is extremely satisfied, and it seems that the newly added railway patrol is also competent.

Speaking of which, a few days ago, I went to the Xiguan Patrol and Arrest Bureau to go around, but the bureau was almost full of fresh faces, and a large number of patrols were dispatched to Jiangxi, and almost all of the patrols in Guangzhou were recruited after a short period of rapid training, and the Xiguan Branch, the inspector Wei Dingyi, was transferred to Jiangxi, and Heizi and Xiaocui went to the General Bureau. Ye Zhao was in the middle of the class, and he felt that he was very happy, so he returned home early.

"This person is a practitioner, but he has never killed anyone." The matchmaker glanced at the middle-aged man, and felt that the patrol was making a big fuss.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Just because you haven't killed someone doesn't mean you're a good person, one day, killing people will become a very serious crime, and murderers will become synonymous with demons." Even if it's a fight, it's a violation of the law. ”

Su Hongniang was stunned, silently picked up the teacup, and her bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
