The conductor and the driver were furious. They thought that the bus was in a panic because of these bad guys. They had no choice but to change direction and drive towards the Public Security Bureau.
The ticket seller glared at the female thief and the man fiercely, took out the microphone and warned loudly:
"Everyone, our car is going to drive directly to the Public Security Bureau. Please check carefully to see if the money is still on you. Our comrades in the Public Security Bureau have sharp eyes and will not let you suffer any loss."
"No, I have to catch a train. If I go to the Public Security Bureau, I will miss my train."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the capital."
"There is no train to Beijing today. The train to Beijing runs once every two days and it left yesterday."
The conductor looked coldly at the passenger who disagreed to go to the Public Security Bureau and sneered in her heart. She had been a conductor for so many years that she had memorized the departure times and schedules of the train stations by heart.
"I made a mistake. I went to Liao Province."
"The train to Liao Province doesn't leave until 8pm. It's only noon now, so it won't delay you."
"This guy is not a thief, catch him."
"Yes, he was standing next to me just now. The only ten dollars I had on me is gone. He must have stolen it."
The man's face froze and he regretted being too impatient just now. But at this point, there was only one way, to control the driver and force him to stop the car and open the door.
However, he was far away from the driver and could only move slowly towards the driver. Li Huan was shocked, realizing that the two thieves had accomplices. If the driver was hijacked, they would definitely escape.
Originally, I wanted to snatch the knife from the man's hand and then carry it on one shoulder, but the place was too small and I couldn't do it at all. I could only mobilize the masses.
"Everyone caught him. He wanted to hold the driver hostage and force him to stop the car and open the door."
When everyone heard this, they became anxious. Several young men attacked at the same time, grabbed the man who was about to move forward, and held his hands tightly.
The driver felt warm in his heart, as this car had been complained about many times, saying it was stolen, but the thief could never be found. In fact, it was not that the thief could not be found, but that he alone was simply powerless to change the situation.
Now that this couple has arrested the person, they are also reminding passengers to catch those who want to harm them. If they still don’t cooperate, they will really be not human.
The car accelerated and sped towards the Public Security Bureau. The two captured thieves stared at Li Huan and Cheng Qiao. They must remember these two faces and will definitely visit them when the boss gets out.
The car finally arrived at the Public Security Bureau. The driver got out of the car and reported the whole process to the public security comrades. Everyone in the car got out in order and came to an empty room.
Of course the three thieves were arrested. Not only did they steal money, they also committed crimes with knives. The evidence was irrefutable, and what awaited them was endless jail time.
But after searching all three people's pockets, the amount of money they found did not match the amount lost by the passengers at the scene, which proved that there was a thief among these passengers.
"Be more conscious and come forward now. You may still get a chance to get your sentence reduced. If we catch you, your crime will be even more serious. I'll start counting down now. If you still don't come out after I count to zero..."
The comrade from the Public Security Bureau paused, scanned everyone with a sharp look, then opened his mouth and counted loudly: "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."
"I'm turning myself in. I stole ten dollars from this old man."
"I'm turning myself in. I stole seventy dollars from this woman."
Well, the amount matched, so they returned all the stolen money to the parties involved, asked them to sign, and then let them go. Cheng Qiao took her twenty yuan, hugged little Cheng Li and prepared to leave.
"Comrades, please stay here. We still need your information and we will present you with banners when the time comes."
Li Huan scratched his head embarrassedly, but Cheng Qiao shook her head. She didn't know how many years these thieves would be sentenced to, but the vicious eyes of those two people at that time made her a little worried. There were children and elderly people at home, and it was impossible for her to guard against thieves every day.
The public security comrade nodded in understanding. One of the men with a knife and his wife would definitely eat peanuts, but the others had not yet reached that point.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect thieves to be so rampant nowadays. We have to be careful when we go to the county town next time."
Cheng Qiao nodded. They got on the bus from the county town, so even a fool would know that they lived near the county town. As long as one was determined to follow them, they would be able to find their hometown.
"Go home and tell Mom and Uncle Ye, and let them be alert. Lele, you and Xuhui should also be careful when you go to school."
The two children nodded seriously and kept Li Huan and Cheng Qiao's words firmly in their hearts. The days are short in winter, and seeing that the sun was about to set, they hurried to find a guesthouse.
Relying on her memories from her previous life, Cheng Qiao took Li Huan and the three children on a bus and came to a district in Chuncheng, where she did business in her previous life.
Night had not yet fallen, but a bright red light had been lit at the door of the guesthouse, standing out against the barren colors. It was the Red Light Guesthouse, where she had stayed after escaping in her previous life.
"Li Huan, let's stay here tonight."
"Red Lantern Guesthouse, that's a good name. We'll stay here."
The two walked in, took out their marriage certificate and letter of introduction, and checked into a room. They originally wanted to check into two rooms, but because they were worried about the danger of being separated, they checked into just one.
"Comrade, there are four of us with a baby, and two beds are not enough. Can you lend us two more beds?"
"One dollar for a bed, would you like to borrow it?"
"Borrow, borrow, let's borrow two beds."
The waiter looked at them strangely. He thought they could just get another room for two dollars. But when he saw the three children around them, the oldest of whom was probably only in his teens, he was really worried about having them stay separately.
Li Huan took the list and went to borrow a bed. Cheng Qiao held little Cheng Li and took Li Le and Xuhui into a room on the ground floor. Looking at the familiar room, Cheng Qiao felt a sore nose.
"Second sister-in-law, were you frightened just now? Your face looks so ugly."
"No, Lele, you hold little Chengli, and Second Sister-in-law will clean the room."
Li Le held little Cheng Li in his arms, while Xuhui helped Cheng Qiao get the rag and broom and cleaned the house carefully. Cheng Qiao put two beds together, and this was where she, Lele and little Cheng Li slept.
Li Huan and a staff member each came over with two simple folding beds and two beddings. Just looking at the color of the bedding, Cheng Qiao was speechless, wondering how long it had been since it was washed.
Since they were just out and about, no one cared. After the four of them finished, they took little Cheng Li out to eat. Cheng Qiao knew that there was a state-owned restaurant near the guesthouse and the food was pretty good.
