Chapter 36 Being targeted
The train conductor Cui Yeqing asked in surprise: "Lao Zhou, is this the second sister you have been looking for?"
Director Zhou Honghai quickly stepped forward, walked up to the middle-aged woman and replied: "Yes, this is my poor second sister, what's going on?"
As he spoke, Director Zhou's eyes widened and he looked around at the people around him.
At this time, a police officer who had just squeezed in answered: "The train said that your second sister had a bomb on her body, and then the passengers on the train subdued her. We just brought her here."
Hearing that there was a bomb, the train conductor Cui Yeqing said to Director Zhou seriously: "What? There is a bomb? Old Zhou, we can't be careless. Let Xiao Wang search it. If there is no bomb, everyone will be relieved."
Director Zhou also knew the seriousness of the matter. He stood up and signaled to the female police officer Xiao Wang beside him, while sending someone to find a doctor.
After a body search, nothing was found. Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Yu stood up tremblingly.
Zhang Yu thought he had made a mistake, so he first apologized sincerely and then explained why he did that, emphasizing that he was worried about the child's safety.
However, Director Zhou did not blame him. Instead, he looked past him and looked at the child. Then he trembled and approached the child, touched the child's head, and said in disbelief: "Xiaoxuan?"
Then he turned his head to Zhang Yu and asked sharply, "Are you saying that she doesn't care about the safety of this child?"
Zhang Yu quickly replied: "I said, I bumped into her and the child fell to the ground, but she didn't care and just carried the child away. I thought... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
The more Zhang Yu spoke, the more unlucky he felt. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Director Zhou stared into Zhang Yu's eyes and said, "My second sister has been looking for Xiaoxuan who was abducted by human traffickers for more than a year. This incident is weird in every way."
At this time, the train conductor Cui comforted him and said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. We have found the person. As long as he is okay, we can ask him after he wakes up."
At this time, the doctor also arrived and gave the child and the middle-aged woman a careful examination.
After examination, it was found that the child was knocked unconscious by a drug and there were no other problems; the middle-aged woman was hit on the head, but her life was not in danger and she would wake up after a while.
At this time, Director Zhou and Train Captain Cui had time to ask Zhang Yu.
As soon as the two of them started talking, Zhang Yu took the initiative to explain: "My name is Zhang Yu, I am a purchaser at the supply and marketing cooperative in Gongshan Town, Qing'an County, and here are my IDs." He handed over his work permit and letter of introduction, and then he repeatedly emphasized: "I am a really good person, I just can't bear to see children get hurt."
Zhou and Cui took Zhang Yu's work permit and letter of introduction and looked at them carefully. They both felt that there was no problem. It seemed that there was no problem with Zhang Yu.
Director Zhou pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Not good, the traffickers should be in the car, everyone, hold the door, don't let anyone go out, work in groups of two, search the car immediately"
After an hour's search, they finally found the drugs in the trash can. However, because the car was too chaotic at the time, no one paid attention to this place, and everything became a mystery. The traffickers disappeared.
Although the human trafficker was not caught, Director Zhou found his sister and her only grandson, which was an unexpected surprise.
Zhang Yu was not fined either, because Cui Zhou and others believed that it might be because of Zhang Yu's inspiration that disturbed the traffickers' sight, which allowed the two men to come back.
So Zhang Yu did not get the punishment he thought he would get, but a reward of free fares and upgrade to a hard sleeper. This was a temporary decision made by Cui Zhou and his friends when they learned that Zhang Yu was going on a business trip to the black market.
Zhang Yu was overjoyed when he suddenly learned that he would not be fined and could enter the sleeper car without having to sit there for two more days and nights. He hurriedly thanked the two of them, asked for the direction of the hard sleeper car, and happily ran towards it.
As he walked, a pair of eyes covered by a straw hat in the corner kept staring at him through the gaps in the tattered hat, emitting bursts of viciousness that made people feel cold.
Zhang Yu seemed to have some feeling and looked back, but the joy of punishment turning into reward overwhelmed his perception of danger, and the joy in his heart drove him to continue walking towards the hard sleeper.
At this moment, the train slowly drove out of the station again.
Although the conditions of the hard sleeper cars were not good at that time, there were few people riding them. Zhang Yu was the only one assigned to the car. After entering the car and closing the door, it became a very private space. After this experience, Zhang Yu fell into a leisurely sleep.
The man who had been watching Zhang Yu outside took off his big straw hat when Zhang Yu turned into the hard sleeper compartment. He was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest look, and his eyes were no longer vicious. He talked to the passengers around him in a friendly manner, but if you pay attention, you will find that his eyes have never left Zhang Yu's hard sleeper.
After two days and two nights of travel, just when Zhang Yu had changed his sleeping positions 108 times, the broadcast on the train finally sounded.
"This is train No. xxx. The train is about to arrive at the final stop, Heishi Station. Please get ready. Thank you for taking this train. I wish you a pleasant journey!"
Walking out of the station, Zhang Yu clearly felt that the temperature in the black market was cooler than at home, but fortunately it was summer and he would not feel cold in his original clothes.
Given his poor sense of direction, Zhang Yu directly asked the public security comrade at the station how to get to the nearest state-owned hotel and asked him to draw a map for him.
The nearest state-owned hotel was not far from the station and was on the same line as the station. Zhang Yu did not even need to take out a compass to reach his destination.
Now, Zhang Yu just wanted to have a good sleep on the bed. After all, it was a two-day and two-night journey. Even if it was a sleeper berth, he could not bear it, after all, he was weak and frail.
Entering the state-owned hotel, the receptionist was a waitress in her 30s. She was sitting behind the front desk, knitting a sweater flexibly. The style was quite new. When she saw Zhang Yu coming, she didn't stand up and said lightly: "Accommodation? Letter of introduction?"
"Sister, accommodation," Zhang Yu said as he handed over his letter of introduction and work permit.
The waiter asked again, "How many days do you want to stay? Here you have to pay for three days first, and then you can get a refund if you have paid more than you paid."
"Okay, big sister, then I will pay for three days first."
"We have single rooms here, 3 cents a day; double rooms, 2 cents a day; quad rooms, 1 cents a day; which one do you want to stay in?"
"I live in a single room. Is there hot water?" Zhang Yu handed over 1 yuan.
The waiter collected the money and gave Zhang Yu an invoice, then handed him a room key and said, "This is a dime for you. Hot water is available from 7am to 10pm. There is a thermos in the room, go get it yourself. Be careful not to damage public property, or you will have to pay for it when you check out."
"Okay, thank you." After saying that, Zhang Yu looked at the sweaters that had already been knitted and praised: "Sister, you have such a skillful hand, and the sweaters you knit are so beautiful."
Hearing Zhang Yu praising her cooking skills, the waitress raised her head and became more polite. It seemed that she was very proud of her cooking skills, but she still said modestly: "You are really good at talking, little comrade. It's not as good as you say."
Maybe Zhang Yu's words made her happy, so she told Zhang Yu: "If you have anything to do, remember to come before 10 o'clock in the evening. You won't be able to find anyone after 10 o'clock."
"Hey, thank you, big sister."
Seeing that the waiter treated him well, Zhang Yu thought that he might be able to find out more about the situation of this place from the waiter.
So he asked politely, "Sister, I'm a purchaser from the Gongshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. I'm here to buy some food in the black market. How's the food production here? Do you think I can buy food?"
The waitress, Zhang Xiaoli, looked at Zhang Yu in surprise and said, "I'm not sure about this, but this year's harvest is much worse than in previous years. To be honest, there isn't much left after paying the public grain this year. Now everyone is replacing their fine grains with coarse grains, otherwise they won't be full."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had said too much, so she waved her hand and said to Zhang Yu: "Little comrade, I didn't say anything. Our grain production here is quite good."
"Of course, sis. I'll go back to my room then."
After listening to the waiter's words, Zhang Yu felt that the situation here was not too optimistic. It seemed that he had taken it for granted.
