It was precisely because of skin color and language issues that made Zuo Shaoqing uneasy.
Her skin color is white and delicate, which stands out among the dark-skinned Cambodians. And she really doesn’t want to stand out in the crowd. Another problem is the language issue. If she goes to Phnom Penh Railway Station, how will she explain herself to the conductor?
Where and when? And the train station is a place where people gather, and it is the most dangerous place in her mind. She is very worried that she will attract the attention of others.
Dr. Mei said that she would be safer after crossing the border. Zuo Shaoqing did not think so. Lieutenant Colonel McCann knew without a doubt that she would definitely cross the border into Cambodia. And Cambodia is too close to Vietnam, so McCann
It would be easy for the lieutenant colonel to send people into Cambodia to track her.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing was standing under the banyan tree on the street, looking at the train station with some lights in the distance. She couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. However, when she entered the snack bar next to it, she wanted to buy a bowl of lidded water.
When I filled my stomach with rice, this problem was unexpectedly solved.
The owner of the small shop was fair and fat, holding a rag in his hand, wiping the table and walking towards her. Zuo Shaoqing guessed that he was most likely an overseas Chinese or of Chinese descent.[
The fat and white shop owner said something to her. When she saw no response, he rolled his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "What do you want to eat here?"
Zuo Shaoqing heard it and realized that he was speaking blunt Chinese.
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him in surprise and said, "Boss, are you an overseas Chinese?"
The fat boss smiled and said, "Yeah, yeah. Overseas Chinese, yes, you too?"
Zuo Shaoqing already had an idea in her mind, but she didn't want to say it right away. She asked the shopkeeper to sit down at the table and handed him a cigarette. In this way, they started chatting like old friends.
She said: "I'm here to do something. But I can't speak here. I want to go to the train station and buy a train ticket. But I can't speak, what should I do?"
The shop owner was a little surprised, "Madam, how dare you come here if you don't know what to say here?"
Zuo Shaoqing said with a smile: "I used to have a friend with me. Now my friend has something to do at home, so he went back. He told me that the train station is in front of him. But I won't tell."
The fat shopkeeper raised his head and thought for a moment, "You can write something. You write two words on a piece of paper. One is, I am going to a place. Madam, where are you going?"
Zuo Shaoqing said honestly: "I want to go to Bangkok."
The fat shopkeeper said: "Yeah, yeah, you write, I want to buy a ticket to Bangkok, write it in the language here. The second one is, how much do you need? That's okay, the train station understands."
Zuo Shaoqing also showed a bright smile to him. Being able to give very useful advice to others is a very fulfilling thing for this shop owner. She hopes that the fat shop owner will feel a sense of achievement and then help her do the following
She smiled and said: "Boss, I don't know how to write the words here."
The fat shopkeeper slapped the table and said, "Of course, I can help you by writing. I can do it."
The shopkeeper took out a small book with a menu from his pocket, took a pencil tip from his ear, and wrote two sentences on the paper carefully. Then he pointed and said: "This is Cambodian. The first one, I
Buy a ticket to Bangkok. Secondly, how much do you want it for? Is that right? This will definitely work."
With a smile on her face, Zuo Shaoqing put the small piece of paper into her pocket. Then she ordered a plate of mixed vegetables, a grilled fish, and a bowl of rice, and had a full meal.
Then he waved to the fat shop owner and quietly left this cute snack bar.
Zuo Shaoqing put his hand in his pocket, holding the small piece of paper, and walked slowly along the street, staring calmly at the train station facing east in the dark.
.Just as Pan Qiwu expected, Zuo Shaoqing unknowingly stepped into the network port he set up.
When Zuo Shaoqing passed a stall selling daily miscellaneous goods, she bought a bamboo hat and put it on her head. Her face was hidden in the thick shadow under the hat.
Pan Qiwu chuckled, "You can't see her. I know. She is too good at hiding."
Jiang Shanyan looked at him unconvinced. He felt that the lights around him were bright enough, but he didn't want to argue.[
The small train station was now in front of Zuo Shaoqing. She walked onto the small station square, passed through the people enjoying the cool air, and walked towards the train station.
Pan Qiwu stood on the steps in front of the train station, looking at the dark small square in front of the station, where groups of residents were enjoying the cool air and chatting. "Shanyan, she will walk past those chatting people and keep walking."
Go up this level. But you can't see her. I know her, understand her. She is a master."
Jiang Shanyan stood next to Pan Qiwu and looked at the small square in front of him. His hand was in his pocket, holding a heavy pistol, as if he was ready to pull it out at any time. At this time, he also believed that the woman in the photo was...
Walking through the chatting people towards the train station.
"She will even pass in front of you, then stand on this step and look both ways."
"Sir, each of us has a photo of her in our hands. Observing people and identifying them is our duty."
"But you still can't see her. She will walk past you and then enter the station hall. Then she will go directly to the ticket office to buy a ticket."
"Sir, please have a little confidence in us." Jiang Shanyan said softly.
"Of course I have confidence in you, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here like this. Brother Shanyan, let me tell you, after she buys the ticket, she will look up and look into the hall. Only at this time will you see
she."
Zuo Shaoqing calmly walked up the steps in front of the station, looking cautiously to both sides under the bamboo hat. There seemed to be many ghosts in the shadows on both sides. This feeling made her feel very uneasy.
She walked into the waiting hall of the train station. The rows of long wooden chairs were filled with male and female passengers waiting for the train. It was obvious at a glance that they were all country people. There were large and small baggage and boxes around them, and some were napping.
His eyes were dull and blank. Two children ran screaming between the wooden chairs.
The innermost part of the hall was a double-open glass door. Through the glass on the door, she could see the straight track and the open-air platform inside. There were no trains on the platform. She looked to the right side of the hall, where there were three ticket booths. Here.
There was only one ticket gate selling tickets at the time. Two passengers stood in front of the gate, counting the banknotes in their hands quickly.
Zuo Shaoqing walked calmly to the ticket gate and stood behind the two passengers buying tickets. A few minutes later, it was her turn to buy tickets. The middle-aged woman in front of her raised her eyes indifferently.
Zuo Shaoqing took out the small piece of paper and held it up in front of the middle-aged woman's eyes. The middle-aged woman looked at the small piece of paper and stretched out a few fingers to her. Zuo Shaoqing understood it and started from
He took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them into his mouth. After a while, a bus ticket and some change came out of his mouth.
Zuo Shaoqing put the tickets and change into his pocket, then turned back and looked at the hall behind him.
At this time, she saw with horror that on the other side of the waiting hall, a young man was staring at her with his mouth open in shock. Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at the palm of his hand. Zuo Shaoqing immediately guessed that
Everyone must have a photo of themselves in their hands.
The alarm bells in Zuo Shaoqing's mind rang sharply. Her eyes instantly glanced to the other side of the waiting hall, where a similar young man was standing up from the bench, looking at the palms of his hands from time to time, and being shocked.
He raised his head and looked at her with panic and fear in his eyes.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing felt as if electric current was passing through her heart, and her nerves were suddenly tense and clanking like a piano string. She could read the other person's eyes and knew that she had fallen into a trap. If she wanted to leave safely, just
She had to decide the direction of retreat immediately. She subconsciously glanced at the glass door on the right. Inside the glass door was the platform. Could she break open this door and escape? She had no idea.
Pan Qiwu stood cautiously in front of the glass door, looking at the dark platform inside. "Brother Shanyan," he said softly, "can she escape from here?"
"Impossible." Jiang Shanyan said simply, "This is a small train station. There are only four railway tracks in the platform, and there are railway workers' dormitories and walls on both sides. There are no trains on the platform, so she can hide everywhere. I arranged at the end of the wall
He killed a man. He would shoot when he saw someone running. Sir, he was a good shot."
Pan Qiwu nodded, "Very good, it should be arranged like this. But, I feel that she will not run away from here. She does not understand the situation on the platform, and she will not take risks. I guess she will withdraw from the original route."
Jiang Shanyan said: "I will arrange people in the waiting hall to catch her before she can run away."
Pan Qiwu smiled at him and said, "Don't be surprised. You people in the hall may not be able to stop her."[
Zuo Shaoqing stared coldly at the two people approaching her, and saw their hands thrust into their arms. Their eyes were panicked and nervous, and they stared at her intently.
Her eyes instantly swept across the waiting hall, and she initially judged that there were only two people in the hall. She was not worried about them, she was worried about how many people were outside. After understanding the situation in front of her, she had no choice but to fight for her life.
She glanced at them from the corner of her eyes and saw them slowly moving towards her. She had no choice but to slowly walk towards the door of the hall. She had to immediately determine the situation outside the station.
Pan Qiwu stood on the steps outside the station door, looking at the small square in front of the door. He pointed to the left side of the station square, "Brother Shanyan, you need to arrange two people in the parking lot over there. If you see her
Run out of the hall and shoot immediately. You tell them not to hesitate!"
Jiang Shanyan looked at the parking lot on the left, "Sir, the distance may be a little far, so we may not be able to hit it."
Pan Qiwu smiled at him and said, "We have to hit her. We just have to force her to run to the right. Our snare is on the right."
Jiang Shanyan nodded, "Sir, I understand, there is no problem."
Facts have proved that everything was as Pan Qiwu expected.
