(Thanks to the reward of "Feng Xiao's legs" and "The moon in the sea under the eyes", the two-in-one update, and one more in the middle of the night)

The long dragon of steel painted with the word "Russian Rail" in red crawls under the semi-circular steel canopy, the curved dome is supported by translucent fiberglass frames overhead by an intertwined gray steel frame, and the thick rectangular steel pillars on the side are full of rivets, all of which give the K20's departure platform a steampunk feel.

Although the blue K20 is not retro at all, with no pipes, pedals, control pipes and hydraulics, and no sparks and steam, the Russian on the platform and the white Russian painted between the windows are like graceful spells, giving it the beauty of a magical instrument that came out of a steampunk comic.

Xie Minyun stopped and let go of the hand dragging the box, picked up the Leica camera hanging around his neck and began to take pictures, Cheng Mo immediately reached out and grabbed Xie Minyun's box lever to prevent someone from taking advantage of his unpreparedness to grab the box and run, there is no way to chase at this point in time.

The shutter was ringing, the flash was shining in a somewhat gray space, and Xie Minyun's expression was very focused, like a professional photographer.

Although Xie Minyun didn't say anything, Cheng Mo knew that she was actually quite looking forward to it, because no matter where she went before this, she didn't hang her camera around her neck, and she didn't even take pictures.

Cheng Mo guessed that because she had already been to those places, there was no value in taking pictures, and taking the train through Siberia would not be much for Xie Minyun in this life, maybe only this once, after all, the international train through Siberia is notoriously bad for public security, thieves, robbers, drug dealers and even police are all objects that passengers need to guard against.

In the nineties, the world-shocking Sino-Russian international train robbery occurred on the K3 international train through Siberia, the movie "Moscow Action" is based on this case, when the Soviet Union had just collapsed, the Russian police did not care about the affairs of the Chinese people at all, and the Chinese police got off the train in the second company, so this train became a veritable death train after leaving the Chinese border.

Even if the murderous name spreads far and wide, the unfortunate people who travel between the capital and Moscow are tempted to make money, and they still take the train desperately and desperately, and after getting on the train, they will lock the door of the private room with iron chains, eat, drink, and sleep in it, and dare not open the door for six days and six nights, but the lawless criminals will hold gas guns and forcibly break open the carriage door, robbing, forcib, and killing all evil.....

But this is an old thing, and now that law and order is much better, the main artery that runs through Siberia is still a haven for criminals, and large quantities of drugs, weapons and contraband flow through this railway across Eurasia.

Of course, to this day, for ordinary tourists, taking this train is not too dangerous, at most it is to be stolen and robbed, and nothing will happen. The only thing to note is that you must keep an eye on your bags and don't be taken advantage of by drug dealers, if you stuff drugs in your luggage, then you will be in great trouble.

After Xie Minyun finished taking the photo, he saw Cheng Mo holding the towbar of her box tightly, looking cautious, and observing the surroundings, staring at the passengers who got on the train not far away from time to time, a little ashamed of his too slackness, but he refused to admit defeat in his mouth, and pulled the box from Cheng Mo's hand, "It's not like this, like walking on thin ice like facing the abyss, as if this train is a death train to hell..."

Cheng Mo said in his heart: "This is really not good, if it weren't for the situation, I didn't have a choice, I really didn't want to get on this train." In just a few minutes, he saw several people who did not look like tourists, and passengers who did not look like passengers.

Traveling in an expensive custom suit?Don't be funny?A backpacker with a crystal clear face and no sun marks at all?Is it possible?The man with camera glasses pretending to be waiting for someone, without blinking his eyes, looked around at the passengers preparing to take the bus....

said that these people have no ghosts, and Cheng Mo didn't believe it when he was killed.

"I'm just watching to see if there's anyone suspicious. Cheng silently wrote down the looks of these people, and then walked towards the last carriage, it stands to reason that this train has a total of eighteen cars except for the dining car, and the last five are first-class carriages, and the first-class carriages are all double rooms.

"Yo! You're in the working state, has the detective found anything?"

Cheng Mo shook his head.

Xie Minyun dragged the box to follow, and the two walked to the number car, handed the ticket to the Russian aunt who was standing at the door of the carriage, with short red hair and a short-sleeved Russian railway uniform, took a look at it, and boarded the train.

The first-class carriage was relatively empty, there was no one in the corridor, only white gauze curtains floating by the window, some of the brown-red sliding doors were closed, some were open, and the corridor was so narrow that only one person could pass through, and two people had to turn sideways when they met.

Cheng Mo dragged the box and walked inside, he calculated that their bunks No. 4 and No. 42 were the penultimate rooms at the end of the carriage according to the bunks of the first double room, and the originally light boxes became extremely heavy because they contained a lot of things that Xie Minyun later bought in the supermarket, and the rubber rollers made a loud noise on the wooden floor, echoing in the cramped corridor.

Xie Minyun followed behind him, whispering the number printed on the sliding door of the double room, while Cheng Mo cautiously spied on who was sitting in each double room that did not close the door.....

Until the two of them walked to the end of the carriage, the door of the double room next to them was not closed, and a pair of blonde foreigners were talking inside, Cheng Mo heard them speak German, he didn't dare to look more, just glanced at it hurriedly, and went to look at the dense timetable posted on the carriage, the double room belonging to them was on the side, and the one at the end of the carriage closed the door tightly.

The room is small of course, but clean and tidy, with white pillows and towels on khaki chairs, peach-colored curtains are pulled down, and you can't see the outside view, the small table is covered with pure white tablecloths, there are sockets at both ends of the windows, and the blue seat backs are down to make a single bed.

Cheng Mo stuffed the box directly under the seat, Xie Minyun walked in, her expression was very satisfied, because the conditions were much better than she imagined, she had never taken a train sleeper, her imagination of the sleeper came from the movie, and her impression was dirty and messy, assuming that she wanted to be alone with Cheng Mo in such an environment for seven days and six nights, it would be a terrible thing.

In fact, the conditions of the second-class carriage and the hard sleeper are still very far from the first-class carriage, you must know that the price of the first-class carriage is almost 000 Huaxia yuan per person, while the second-class carriage is only half the price.....

Xie Minyun didn't sit down immediately, but closed the door and locked it, and then laboriously put the box on the sofa, and cleaned out some of the things she had started to buy in the supermarket, and placed miniature humidifiers, night lights, alcohol pads, garbage bags, folding slippers, and hangers on the sofa.

Cheng Mo took away the pillow, put it aside and sat by the window, opened the curtains, and looked out the window quietly, without the slightest intention of helping.

Xie Minyun sprayed disinfectant spray around the room, wiped the places around her bed with alcohol swabs, and then took out mineral water and various snacks from the box and put them on the small table.

"Hey, give you ....." Xie Minyun handed Cheng Mo a new pair of blue folding slippers.

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Xie Minyun, hesitated, and reached out to take it, after all, boys are not as careful as girls, and Cheng Mo is actually taking a long-distance train for the first time, so he didn't think of this stubble at all, so he didn't prepare slippers at all, but he didn't expect Xie Minyun not only to buy it himself, but also to help him buy a pair, although it was his money, but Cheng Mo still had a ripple in his heart.

"Thank you. ”

"Nothing to thank, your money. Xie Minyun responded coldly, and after saying that, she put the humidifier on the small table, added mineral water to it, installed the battery, and then the curling water vapor sprayed out from the pull ring of the can.

When Cheng Mo changed his slippers, Xie Minyun handed him a simple cloth box for shoes, and she glued a simple hook on the window, then pasted a simple hook on the sliding door, and made a curtain with a clip and a dark blue tablecloth, which was pulled between Cheng Mo's bed and her bed.....

So Xie Minyun clapped her hands when Cheng Mo was close but completely invisible, and then pulled her self-made curtain to the side of the sliding door, and said with satisfaction: "Perfect!"

"Do you want to put a few bowls of water on the floor at night....." Cheng Mo didn't expect Xie Minyun to prepare so fully and meticulously in order to prevent him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course not, if you dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, I will definitely break your dog's paws....." Xie Minyun sneered and took out a stunner the size of a cigarette case from his bag, pressed the switch, and the blue arc and snapping sound sent out a dangerous signal.

CHENG WAS SPEECHLESS, LOWERED HIS HEAD AND TOOK OUT THE KINDLE E-BOOK FROM HIS BACKPACK AND BEGAN TO LOOK AT THE BOOK, BUT SAID IN HIS HEART: "THIS WOMAN IS JUST CRAZY....."

Just then the soft Russian music in the carriage stopped, and the conductor first said in Russian that the train was about to start, and then in English, and then the train began to move slowly, and after a few moments, it drove out of the semicircular platform and rushed into the thin rain curtain.

August in Moscow is like a cool and light autumn, the gray skyline and unlit buildings form a somewhat sad parting picture, Cheng Mo sat on the train, feeling the train gradually accelerating, like a rocket out of gravity, speeding away from a city, falling like an unattainable blue light in the distance.

The voice of "Besides" and the renewed Russian song seemed to tell a mottled memory, for this great city he was just a passerby, like a bird flying across the lake, not mooring, but just passing by.

"But where can I land? Where can I fly to? Actually, I could have refused to step on this train, but why should I be a little nervous and excited about it? What exactly do I want? Is it really like I say to myself that I have no choice but to live?"

He remembered his father's cold face, and then remembered Li Jiting's always smiling face, and suddenly, when Li Jiting was away, he actually felt a little nostalgic.

At this moment of leaving, Cheng Mo didn't know why, he was actually a little lonely in his heart, maybe because of the raindrops that he hadn't seen for a long time, maybe because of the unknown he was about to face, but he had to shield this weak moment, cheer up to face the danger that might come, he had to concentrate a lot.

Because, after last night, he has understood that if he is not careful, he will die.....

Even so, he hoped that Sylkov was on top of the K20 and that he could find his traces.

Cheng Mo watched the raindrops crackle on the window, looked at the Ouroboros on his wrist and began to think about how to find Shirkov who might be on the train.

Xie Minyun put the toothbrush, plastic toothbrush cup, and mouthwash neatly, put a large bag of snacks on the sofa, then changed into slippers, put his fisherman's shoes into the shoe bag, placed them under the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the hazy Moscow in the rain outside the window and said softly: "Досвидания?? ，москва。 (Goodbye, Moscow)

—————————————

At the same time, in the eighteenth car of the train, Napoleon VII was quietly looking at the laptop, which was the information of all the passengers of this train, generally speaking, K20 only had 5 cars, but this trip was full of people, and some powerful people asked for three more cars, so a total of eighteen cars.

Five first-class cars, four second-class cars, seven third-class hard sleepers, two hard seats, the first-class car can accommodate 4 people, a total of 70 people, a second-class car can accommodate 3 people, a total of 44 people, a hard sleeper car can accommodate 42 people, a hard-seat car 08 people, a total of 2 people, the whole train plus the staff should be 99 people, but he is a person in one room, so it is 98 people.

Maurice, who had already activated the carrier, touched his round inch, looked at Napoleon VII who was engrossed, and said puzzledly: "Your Royal Highness, there is no point in reading these materials, right? Most people basically buy scalper tickets, and they don't register real information at all....."

"It's true, but even if it's only one percent of the time, we're going to give it our all.... The ray of hope is not something that you just stand there and expect, you have to keep walking, maybe there is a dead end ahead, you have to try to find out. Napoleon VII looked at the computer and said lightly.

"Your Excellency, what you say is always so philosophical. Morris said with a slight bow.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Morris stood up and asked, "Who?"

"Aksai steward, the conductor Mr. Sergei Shakurov is here....."

Morris opened the door of the room, and outside the door stood the conductor Sergei Shakurov, who was wearing a Russian railway uniform and had a fat body and a belly, and when the conductor saw Morris, he took off his large-brimmed hat, revealing the slightly bald top of his head, bowed slightly, and said in suffocated English: "Dear Butler Aksai, I have come to visit at the invitation of His Excellency the Prince. ”

Morris smiled, looked at Sergei Shakurov, who looked a little nervous, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and said: "Please come in, Mr. Conductor, His Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Morris leaned away to let the bloated Sergei Shakurov in, then gently closed the door and motioned for the conductor to sit opposite Napoleon VII, while he stood respectfully on the side of the rickety carriage, watching Sergei Shakurov's every move.

The conductor tugged his big-brimmed hat on his chest, bowed slightly to Napoleon VII and said, "Your Royal Highness, it is a great honor to meet you, please tell me if you have any comments or suggestions, and my men and I will do our best to serve you." ”

Napoleon VII did not stand up, nor did he mean to shake hands with Sergei Shakurov, but just poured a glass of Evian mineral water for Mr. Conductor, "Mr. Conductor, I think Gregory has already told you that it is a small matter that needs your help....."

"Yes, Mr. Rasputin has an explanation, but he does not make the details very clear. The conductor put his big-brimmed hat on the sofa, then took the crystal cup filled with Evian mineral water from Napoleon VII with both hands, and said with a smile, although there were many drops of sweat on his chubby face and his expression was a little frightened, but the pair of small, deep-set eyes shone with a cunning light.

"Here's the case, a thief stole a valuable item from me, and when I received the news, he was hiding in this car in disguise and with a fake passport, so I would like my men to follow your ticket inspectors and police officers to search all the carriages..... Good for catching this shameful thief. Napoleon VII said lightly, holding the scepter.

The conductor hurriedly nodded and said, "With Mr. Rasputin's explanation, of course this problem is not big, but it is just ......."

Napoleon VII waved his hand slightly, "No, I have prepared some small gifts for you and your subordinates, Maurice, and show them to Mr. Conductor." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Maurice took out a large brown paper envelope from under the sofa, unwrapped the rope, and opened it to the conductor, which contained five stacks of five thousand rubles each.

"2.5 million rubles. The conductor wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and immediately came up with this number, he laughed dryly, and said: "Your Excellency, I didn't mean that, Mr. Rasputin's face is enough......"

Napoleon VII knocked on the table, and Maurice stuffed the brown paper bag into the conductor's arms, "It's just a little money, if you can find the thief, there is a higher bounty, at least ten times, if you can catch a live one, a hundred times is not impossible." ”

"A hundredfold ....." The conductor couldn't help but open his mouth wide, grabbed the brown paper bag tightly, and was so surprised that he forgot to refuse Morris, and said tremblingly: "I'll arrange for someone to start checking and checking tickets now.... Do you need to change into uniforms?"

Napoleon VII smiled, "There is no need to be in such a hurry, when you usually conduct the first round of inspections, we will start when .... In addition, the patrol was also replaced by my people, so it just so happened that the police comrades could take a good rest. ”
