Chapter 14 Tong Fan
"Hello, ma'am. This is a temporary inspection. Please cooperate with our work." A young and handsome flight attendant stopped a pretty girl, saluted and said.
The girl, who was wearing fashionable clothes and had her hair dyed light blonde, looked flustered for a moment. She clutched the diamond-studded handbag in her hand involuntarily and said in a trembling voice, "What...what do you mean? I didn't do anything?"
The crowded passengers all looked at the young police officer with envy, contempt, and knowing. It was obvious that the police officer wanted to take advantage of his position to get close to the pretty girl, maybe even wanted to see her ID card, copy her phone number, etc. Many men were shouting in their hearts: Let go of that girl... let me do it!
The conductor didn't seem to notice that the two of them had become the focus of attention, and still insisted, "Don't be nervous. It's necessary for work. Please allow me to check your belongings. It won't take too long, please cooperate."
The girl looked around in panic, not knowing what to do, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Seeing her so scared, people around her felt a little weird, and some men who were originally indignant at the train police also became suspicious and looked at the girl with scrutiny.
Under the gaze of the handsome policeman and the surrounding passengers, the girl tremblingly handed over the bag in her hand. When their fingertips touched, the conductor felt her fingers were cold and still trembling slightly, and he felt more confident.
The conductor took out the contents of the handbag one by one and placed them neatly on the tray: a cell phone, keys, wallet, tickets, a pack of tissues, lipstick, a makeup mirror, a small pile of coins, a bus card... and two sanitary napkins and a small umbrella.
The girl lowered her head, her face red as if it was about to bleed. The people around her seemed to understand why she was nervous before, and laughed kindly.
The flight attendant did not smile. He fumbled in the empty handbag and felt a strange touch on the side of the bag. He took off his gloves and fumbled for a while before finding a hidden opening under the zipper. He put on gloves, put two fingers in, and took out a small transparent plastic bag containing some white powder.
The noise suddenly stopped. Even if people have never seen it in person, after watching similar scenes in movies and TV shows, it is not difficult for them to guess what it is.
The girl's face turned pale as paper, her whole body trembled, her lips quivered, and she couldn't utter a word. It was not until her hands were handcuffed with cold handcuffs that she heard a sentence that seemed to come from a very far away place: "I suspect you are illegally hiding and transporting contraband items..."
…
Watching the criminal police escorting the drug-transporting girl to the police car, an old police officer patted the young police officer on the shoulder and said admiringly: "Well done, kid. You have only been on the job for less than a month and you have already made a great contribution! Incredible!"
"Yeah, this is really good luck!" Another fat police officer next to him said sourly: "How did you find it? Tell us too!"
"That's right, Tong Fan, how did you know she had drugs on her?" several flight attendants nearby asked.
Tong Fan just smiled, looking a little shy, but didn't say anything.
Only he knew in his heart that this was not luck.
"Ding-ling-ling ..." As he was talking, his cell phone rang. Tong Fan took it out and saw that it was a number with hidden caller ID. He was moved and said quickly, "Sorry, I have to answer the call first."
"Okay, okay, go ahead." Everyone said in unison.
Tong Fan walked away with the phone, then answered the call, turned on the recording, and said, "Hello."
"It seems that you already believe what I said." said a man whose voice seemed to have been changed through a voice changer.
"Yes, but how did you know..." Tong Fan looked at the crowds of people coming and going around him. There was no truly quiet place in the train station. He could only walk while saying, "How did you know this?"
"Because I'm smarter, more careful, and more observant than you." The man praised himself shamelessly, in a matter-of-fact tone.
"If you have an open mind, why hide your head and show your tail?" Tong Fan said while trying to find the person he was talking to from the crowd around him. "As the first informant, the police can give you a certain reward."
"This question is a bit stupid." The other party said arrogantly, but the next words seemed very realistic, "The reason is obvious. Good people don't live long, but evil people leave a thousand years. As a good person, I am worried about retaliation from criminal gangs."
This reason was so legitimate and convincing that even though Tong Fan was skeptical, he couldn't help but nod in agreement. But he still had one question: "Why did you come to me?"
"Then imagine, if it was your colleagues who received my call, what would they do?" Without waiting for his answer, the other party paused and continued, "They might try to find out my identity, or treat it as a prank and ignore it, or report it to their superiors and wait for the decision, or ignore it for fear of retaliation... But you would rather believe it than not, and take action immediately. That's why I came to you."
Young, reckless, kind, hate evil, just started working, take justice as their , have a passion in their heart, and also want merit and exciting life. Such a person may seem a little stupid to more mature people, but he is the best candidate for the caller.
"The next target is a gang that kidnaps children. They are at the ticket gate preparing to check in and board the train. If you want to catch this group of people, stop all your tricks. Please note that time is limited. I will call you again in three minutes."
"Hello! Wait! Who are you talking about? Hello! Hello... Damn it!" Tong Fan looked at the phone that had been hung up, angry and anxious, and almost crushed it.
The people around looked at the yelling police officer in surprise. Tong Fan ignored the gazes of others and scanned the crowd in the waiting hall in panic. However, the A City Railway Station has three floors and ten waiting halls. From where he stood, he could see hundreds of people waiting to check their tickets and enter the station, many of whom were carrying children. If there was no clear target, it would be impossible to find the child traffickers before entering the station.
Thinking of the suffering parents and broken families after losing their children, and the various inhumane experiences that the abducted children might have encountered, Tong Fan hated his own powerlessness. At the same time, he was also angry at the person on the other end of the phone who callously used the children as bargaining chips.
Suddenly thinking of what he just said, Tong Fan hurriedly unlocked his phone and deleted the recording. He thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he simply formatted the entire phone, not caring about the hundreds of phone numbers and sweet text messages from his girlfriend. Watching the blue progress bar stretch to 100, Tong Fan held the phone, waiting for the incoming call to ring.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Tong Fan grabbed the phone and answered it, saying hastily, "I deleted the recording and formatted my phone. Who are you talking about?"
"...Fanfan, what did you say? I don't understand. Mom wants to ask you what you want to eat tonight..." The person on the other side was stunned for a moment and said incoherently. It was really the voice of Tong Fan's mother.
"Mom, I have something else to talk to you in the evening!" Tong Fan said without pause, then hung up the phone with a flick of his finger, waiting even more anxiously.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The ringtone rang again. This time, the indifferent voice that had been changed by a voice changer came from the receiver: "The target is right in front of you, about five meters in front of the third ticket gate. There is a fat woman in a white T-shirt with blue stripes and a man in a gray sportswear next to her. The children they are holding in their hands are all abducted. The accomplices include a man in a hoodie three people behind him, and a man in a gray suit with glasses and a briefcase behind him..."
Before the other party could finish his words, Tong Fan saw that the man and woman who looked like a couple in front were about to pass the checkpoint. He stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket and ran over there, causing a commotion.
"Forget it. There are so many people here anyway, nothing will happen to him."
After clicking "Hang up" on the phone screen with his slender fingers, he picked up the black coffee next to him and took a sip.
"So bitter..." Rong Yuan frowned and swallowed it, then began to add sugar and milk to it, while asking: "Pea, how much have you harvested now?"
"2346." A thin voice came from the earphone in his left ear.
