Chapter 261 – Xiao Qi
Xu Jinning inferred that this group had likely started less than a year ago.
It had to be stopped!
They had to be captured!
That was the first thought that flashed through Xu Jinning’s mind.
If she had turned a blind eye, she couldn’t fathom how many people would be harmed by them in the next ten years, how many families would be shattered.
Xu Jinning thought that since fate had led her to discover this on the train, it must be a sign that she was meant to intervene.
Xu Jinning didn’t think she was wrong in her deductions.
But…
How could she get this man arrested?
She definitely had to call the police and let the authorities handle it.
But…
If she called the police, it had to be at the next station.
However, the man had said he would get off at the next station.
If he got off, it would be difficult to capture him.
Xu Jinning couldn’t think of a solution, her brow furrowed tightly.
“Ningning, do you have something on your mind? If you can’t figure it out, you can tell big brother, and we’ll figure it out together.”
Xu Xiangdong, who had been observing Xu Jinning, spoke up.
Seeing her changing emotions, he couldn’t help but feel worried.
Was it still because of that Murong Jing?
Xu Jinning turned her head and saw her big brother’s worried expression.
Her heart warmed.
Without much hesitation, she said, “Big brother, come closer, I’ll tell you…”
Xu Xiangdong leaned in.
Xu Jinning whispered in his ear, telling him about her discovery and inference.
“…Big brother, I’m not mistaken, that man definitely has this intention, we must capture him.” Xu Jinning concluded.
“Ningning, don’t worry, big brother believes in you.” Xu Xiangdong naturally believed in Xu Jinning.
No matter what Xu Jinning said, Xu Xiangdong unconditionally believed her.
Dr*gs, addictive dr*gs…
Xu Xiangdong had been living in the village before, so he didn’t really know much about these things.
But he recalled something he had learned in books.
He remembered something about it.
That was opi*m.
Opi*m, the thing that would addict people to the point of losing rationality and conscience, and would also erode their bodies.
So, what Xu Jinning said, the drugs that man carried should be similar to opi*m.
Xu Xiangdong remembered how much harm opi*m had caused to the country at that time.
That thing only brings harm!
So, that thing absolutely cannot be allowed to spread.
And just now, his little sister also said that their country prohibited the sale and transportation of this thing, whoever touched it would be violating the law.
But often, people still saw the enormous profits behind these things, even if it meant losing their conscience, they would still do it.
But as people of this country, since they saw it, knew about it, they couldn’t just sit idly by.
Xu Xiangdong thought for a moment and said to Xu Jinning, “Ningning, do you remember what Uncle Changzheng said? The stationmaster of this train’s final stop is his friend, maybe we can seek his help.”
Xu Jinning’s eyes suddenly lit up.
That’s right.
Dad Changzheng did mention this to her.
The stationmaster of this train’s final stop is his longtime friend, and it’s precisely because of this relationship that Zhang Changzheng was able to easily help them buy two sleeper tickets, all thanks to his friend.
Dad Changzheng also mentioned that he had asked his friend to take special care of them siblings.
In other words, if there’s a problem, they could go to this person.
And currently, this was their only option.
Tell the stationmaster, make the stationmaster believe their words, and then at the next station stop, instead of letting passengers disembark, choose to call the police. This way, the authorities could come and arrest that man.
“I remember the train staff are in carriage 5, come on, I’ll take you there.”
“Okay.”
They entrusted their luggage to Wang Chenggong again and walked hand in hand towards carriage 5.
Carriage 5 housed all the train staff, but it was off-limits to non-staff.
“Hello, we’d like to see Stationmaster Xiao Qi, we have something very important to tell him.”
“Do you know our stationmaster? He’s busy, so if there’s something, tell me first, and I’ll pass it on to him later.”
The staff member was a young guy who was quite impressed when he saw Xu Jinning and had a good impression of them.
However, he didn’t think they had anything important.
It was better not to disturb the stationmaster for trivial matters.
Because before, there were passengers complaining about losing a few cents, or their shoes, using trivial matters to make a fuss.
Some things didn’t need to disturb the stationmaster; they could handle them first.
“Sorry, this is something we can only discuss with the stationmaster. Could you please inform him? Just say I’m Zhang Changzheng’s goddaughter. If you mention that, the stationmaster should see me.” Helplessly, Xu Jinning had to bring up Zhang Changzheng.
“Zhang Changzheng… Are you Xu Jinning who got admitted to Beijing University?” the young man suddenly asked.
“Yes, that’s me.”
“So it’s you. If it’s you, there’s no problem. Our stationmaster had instructed that if someone named Xu Jinning came to see him, they must be brought to him immediately.”
“In that case, follow me.”
So there had been instructions beforehand.
Even though they hadn’t met yet, Xu Jinning’s impression of Stationmaster Xiao Qi had improved considerably.
The siblings followed the young staff member into the carriage.
They quickly met Stationmaster Xiao Qi, who was around the same age as Zhang Changzheng.
Stationmaster Xiao Qi exuded a refined and friendly aura, with clear and perceptive eyes.
When Xiao Qi saw Xu Jinning and Xu Xiangdong, he was stunned.
The siblings were really good-looking.
Especially the girl, with her temperament, standing there made one think she was a young lady from a prestigious family.
She seemed very cultured and refined.
“Hello, I’m Xiao Qi. You must be Xu Jinning and Xu Xiangdong that Changzheng mentioned. Changzheng and I have been good friends for many years. You can also call me Uncle Xiao.”
“Uncle Xiao,” Xu Xiangdong and Xu Jinning said together.
“Right, you’ve come to see me. Are you facing any difficulties?” Xiao Qi’s tone was gentle.
“Uncle Xiao, it’s like this…” Xu Jinning lowered her voice after seeing that there were only staff around and recounted the story of the man and her speculation.
“So, from the old man’s words, you suspect that the man had previously dr*gged the loaches and then used them to transport dr*gs?” Xiao Qi’s brow furrowed instantly, and his expression became serious after hearing Xu Jinning’s words.
Using loaches to transport dr*gs, honestly, this was the first time he had heard of such a method.
It was feasible, but was this what the girl had encountered?
“Are you sure based just on the old man’s words? What if the old man’s son was sick for other reasons? What if it’s a coincidence? Besides, you haven’t seen anything inside the loaches, have you?”
