Chapter 431 Telling a lie that is easily exposed
This was just a small episode on the train. Tong Dapeng and Dabao continued to check tickets and patrol. When they arrived at the second sleeper car, Dabao saw Dang Jianjun sitting on the lower bunk, and a young man was lying on each of the two middle bunks.
Dabao sighed secretly. With this posture, is he really afraid that others won’t recognize him as a soldier?
Dang Jianjun turned his face away. You can just turn it away if you want. Why are you peeking at it? It's like peeking at a beautiful woman. Good guy, Dabao is almost worried to death.
After a circle, we arrived at the soft sleeper compartment. The two soldiers were still on guard. This time, they learned their lesson. When they saw the big horse, they immediately stood at attention and saluted, shouting, "Hello, Chief!"
Dapeng was amused. He thought he was being saluted and called "chief." This delighted him. "Is it so polite?" He quickly stood at attention and returned the salute. Not to mention his posture was quite standard.
"Hello, comrades!"
A soldier impatiently pushed him aside, revealing Dabao returning the greeting.
Dabao took out a pack of cigarettes and gently put it into the pocket of a young soldier, patted it,
"You can smoke again after you get laid off."
The two young soldiers were so moved that their eyes turned red: "Thank you, Commander."
"Let's go check inside the carriage."
"Yes!" A little soldier opened the door.
Dabao dragged Tong Dapeng into the soft sleeper compartment. Dapeng was still confused and kept saying, "Why are you the chief and I am not? No, we are both police officers, why are we treated differently?"
The door closest to this side was box number 10. Dabao knocked twice, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."
When I opened the door of the compartment, I saw two elderly people, a man and a woman, sitting on the lower bunk. The elderly people were in their sixties, dressed very simply, had kind faces, and looked very approachable.
The old man smiled and said, "What's the matter, young comrade?"
Dabao saluted and said, "Old man, we are the train police. The train is about to leave, and we have to check the tickets according to regulations."
It is already May and the weather is very warm, but the two old people are still wearing woolen vests. It is obvious that they are not in good health.
The old lady smiled and it was clear from her words that she was an intellectual and had great temperament. Judging from her eyebrows and eyes, she must have been very beautiful when she was young.
The old lady opened a handbag and took out two tickets from it, handing them to Dabao. Dabao took a look, saluted, and handed the tickets back with both hands: "Thank you, sorry to bother you, please rest."
The old man and the old woman nodded slightly.
As the compartment door closed, Dabao's heart was in turmoil. He had just scanned with his consciousness and saw the IDs of the two elderly people. They were both famous in later generations, academicians of the Academy of Sciences. How could they be on this train? Could it be...
Dabao was full of questions. He knocked on the door of the seventh, eighth, and ninth compartments, but no one was there. He and Dapeng came to the sixth compartment. Dapeng knocked on the door and said, "It's normal that there's no one in this soft sleeper. Our soft sleepers are often empty..."
The door to the box opened, and a young man in a police uniform poked his head out. He was wearing a pair of glasses, and when he saw Dabao, he called out happily: "Brother Bao, why are you here?"
Dabao was also surprised: "Wu Fan, didn't you ask for leave? Why are you here?"
Dabao walked around Dapeng and stood at the door of the box. He saw that in addition to Wu Fan, there was another middle-aged man in the box. He looked like a cut above Wu Fan.
Wu Fan said happily: "Brother Bao, this is my father Wu Qiming. I will not be able to see my father for a long time because he is going to Xijiang for work. I asked for leave to send my father to Xijiang."
Dabao knew that Wu Fan's father was a scientific researcher, and it was not easy for the father and son to meet. The lack of fatherly love since childhood was Wu Fan's biggest regret. It was probably for this reason that he sent his father far away. He wanted to stay with his father for a few more days.
"Dad, this is Qin Dabao, our section chief."
Wu Qiming smiled and extended his hand to shake Dabao's. "Chief Qin, my son Fanfan is an introvert and doesn't like to socialize. I'll have to rely on you to take care of him in the future."
These two sentences were said in an extremely stiff manner, and it was obvious that the speaker did not often say such social words.
Dabao waved his hand: "You're welcome, Wu Fan is very good."
Wu Fan felt a little embarrassed. He was very lively today, probably because he was with his father.
"Brother Bao, what are you doing..."
Dabao raised his finger, shushed him, and whispered, "Don't ask. Keep it a secret."
Wu Fan had learned about confidentiality regulations when he was in the confidential department. After hearing this, his expression immediately froze and he nodded and said yes.
"Uncle Wu, you and Wu Fan should take a rest. I'll come over later."
As he said this, he closed the door of the box.
Dapeng was confused. He grabbed Dabao and asked in a low voice: "Dabao, what's wrong with you? Why did that guy call you Section Chief?"
Dabao rolled his eyes: "What the hell is it to you?"
Dapeng curled his lips: "I understand, you offended someone and were sent to us, right?"
Dabao pulled his hat down and said, "Sun thief, if you don't go to tell stories, you'll be wasting your material."
As he was speaking, he opened the door of the fifth private room, but was stunned. This was his private room, and there was a woman sitting on the lower bunk. She was reading a book. When she heard the door open, she turned around and looked at him.
She is not particularly pretty, but rather gentle. She is dressed in a very Western style, with big wavy hair, a blue bell hat, a pleated skirt, and a windbreaker.
Dabao frowned and said, "Ma'am, please show me your ticket."
The woman smiled and stood up: "I'm sorry, Public Security Comrade, I'm a three-pack smoker. Because someone was smoking, my rhinitis started, so I found an empty box and wanted to read quietly for a while."
At this time, the door of Sanbao's private room opened, and a man in his thirties wearing a Zhongshan suit came out. He was startled when he saw Dabao and the other two, then walked over with a smile.
He took out his work ID and handed it to Dabao: "Comrade Qin Dabao, right? My name is Xiao Ke, and I'm from the Ministry of Public Security's Special Protection Group. You should know my mission this time. I'm responsible for protecting Professor Yang Jingning." He extended his hand and introduced the woman: "This is Xie Jiayin, Professor Yang's assistant."
Dabao was startled, looked at his work ID, and then handed it back to Xiao Ke. He saluted and said, "Hello, Team Leader Xiao."
At this time, the door of the fourth bag was also opened. Inside were two middle-aged men dressed like scholars and a young man. The young man stood up and handed over the ticket. Dabao checked the ticket and returned it to him.
This young man obviously had no experience, and he even stole a glance at Xiao Ke, pretending not to know him.
There was no one in the first and second bags. After the soft sleeper car was the luggage car. There were also two soldiers standing guard, while the rest of the soldiers were resting in the luggage car.
The train whistle blew, and the train slowly started, and this life-or-death journey officially began...
Dabao sat in the dining car, looking out the window quietly. The scenery outside the window moved backwards quickly.
The task this time was indeed difficult, but what was even more troubling was the three-party collaboration: the military, the ministry, and the municipal bureau, all of which were like a pile of loose sand.
Dabao sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? This is clearly a trap. I don't know who designed it. It's nothing."
First, there are three or four physics experts. According to Dabao's observation, the elderly couple in the tenth soft sleeper compartment are the physics experts escorting this time.
Wu Fan's father Wu Qiming is an expert, so these three people are definitely the ones who will be involved.
The middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in the fourth package was the bait used by the department to fish. As for Professor Yang, Dabao had never seen him and did not know whether he was real or not.
But this female assistant Xie Jiayin was very problematic. First, she took the so-called empty bag without authorization. Dabao didn't think she could see her handbag.
Secondly, her excuse of avoiding the smell of cigarettes was far-fetched, because given the qualities of Professor Yang and Xiao Ke, they must have smoked at the connection between the carriages. But why would she tell a lie that could be easily exposed?
