While Quentin was thinking about himself, Lin En had already found out the situation of this gang from the mouth of the robber Boss Xin.
Quentin served as a conductor on this train a long time ago.
And they used to be road bullies in the city of Joseph where this train passed.
About two months ago, Quentin, who was also from Joseph City, was stopped by a group of them while walking at night and asked for money.
To the surprise of the robbers, the seemingly ordinary Quentin refused to spend money to eliminate the disaster, and actually beat more than a dozen of them to their feet with his own strength.
Afterwards, Quentin didn't tell them to get out, but instead asked them to work with him, promising that the money they would make would be much more than if they were road hogs.
A man who was more powerful than his entire group of brothers put together issued an invitation, and Boss Xin led his men to Quentin with doubts.
The first thing Quentin asked them to do was to board the train and kill the police sergeant.
They complied and cooperated with Quentin to successfully perform a scene.
In the play, they killed the captain, and Quentin, as the captain, stepped forward to turn the tide and expel them.
Soon, Quentin used Boss Xin and his group to become the new captain of the train, cultivated his cronies among the train officers, and 'transformed' his colleagues who were taking orders from their superiors into subordinates who only obeyed him.
Before long, Quentin became a veritable "underground emperor" on the train.
At this time, he finally began to fulfill the promise he made to Boss Xin and his group, asking the police to turn a blind eye to them bringing weapons on the train. When he heard passengers calling for help in the carriage, they had to wait until Boss Xin and his group
After the robbery, I got out of the car and went over to understand the situation.
This trick has always worked, and in just two months, he has accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.
At the same time, he was not stingy with his subordinates, including Boss Xin, and gave them a considerable portion of their property, making the policemen and robbers extremely loyal.
If it hadn't been for the unlucky encounter with Lin En and Reiner today, I don't know how long his black and white strategy would have been able to play, or whether he would have reached out to other trains and gradually formed a huge network entrenched on various railways.
power.
Based on this, Linn also learned that their hometown was in Joseph City.
Joseph City is the last stop this train will make before arriving at the imperial capital Lezein.
According to estimates, we will arrive in about ten minutes.
Boss Xin and his group will get off the bus at that time, but Quentin, as the police sergeant, still needs to wait for his shift and will return to Joseph City to join the others in about a day.
It was easier for Linn to follow Quentin now, but Reiner and Capa couldn't stay in the car for a long time, so after thinking about it, he decided to inform them and get off together at Joseph City Station.
Quentin will be here in a day anyway.
It would be a good idea for them to go there early to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
Just when Lin En was organizing his words and wanted to go back in a legal name, Quentin gave him an order: "You should get off the car with Xin and others to rest first."
"Then I'll go back and get my luggage." Lin En said smoothly.
"Well." Quentin watched Lin En leave and then ordered Boss Xin, "Keep an eye on this person and pay attention to whether there is anything unusual about him."
"Are you worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about. I just think he has a lot of thoughts. I can't believe it all when I first come here." In Quentin's heart, Lin En is also one of the same suspects.
"clear."
——
"Lynn." Reiner saw Linn returning and looked behind him warily.
"No one is following me." Linn pulled away the people who occupied his seat and whispered next to Reiner, "I have initially gained their trust. Their territory is at the next stop, so I will be at the next stop.
Get out of the car first with the robbers, and you can just follow them quietly when the time comes."
"You just hit someone because..." Reiner quickly digested the information and learned more.
"Quentin suspected that there were cleaning staff in our carriage. Because we were the first to resist, he suspected us first. In order to reduce his suspicion, I pinned the suspicious behavior on the passenger. He asked
I hit the passenger just to test the passenger's reaction and further determine whether he is the same kind." Lin En spoke quickly.
Reiner listened carefully: "He is also investigating us?"
"I guess he doesn't have any hostility when investigating us, but wants to get to know more people of the same kind and cooperate with us to make money. But that's not the point. The point is that Quentin, as a police sergeant, can't get out of the car yet. He estimates that he will meet up with the robbers in a day.
So we try to learn more about the situation before he comes," said Lin En.
"Okay, how can we meet later?"
"You follow me. After confirming the addresses of the robbers, you stay at the hotel closest to their addresses. I will find a chance to meet you." Lin En had already thought about it on the way back.
Reiner had no objections, except for the last question: "Where is Capa? Let him go to Lezein alone, or should he come with me?"
"Well..." Linn struggled for a moment, "Let him go to Lezein first, and then we can find a way to contact him after we are done."
"Okay." Reiner nodded.
"I'm going back first." Linn took his suitcase from the luggage rack and handed the manuscript to Reiner. Before leaving, he stuffed a two-dollar bill into the pocket of Adam, a boy with a rough life.
A large ten-gold banknote, "The amount is a bit large, and there are many people's eyes. Wait until you get to the station to take it out and look at it. Remember, learning is the best way for you to go further."
Adam put his hands into his pockets, remembering Lynn's instructions when he leaned over, and did not take out the banknotes in his pockets.
"Thanks--"
When Adam came back to his senses and wanted to thank him, Linn only left his back.

After returning to the rest area, as expected, Boss Xin asked Lin En to open the suitcase and check it.
Lin En's manuscript was given to Reiner for safekeeping, and he took the money with him. After he opened the suitcase generously, the only clothes and a few daily necessities inside made Quentin and Boss Xin less suspicious of him.
.
A few minutes later, the train slowed down and stopped at Joseph City Station.
"Hurry up and don't be noticed by those passengers. Keep a low profile these days and don't mess around. Wait until I get back." Quentin told Boss Xin at the door.
Boss Xin didn’t take it seriously: “This is not the first time a boat has capsized in a sewer, but few of the passengers have gone to the Public Security Bureau to report the incident.”
"You still have to be careful, and keep a low profile as much as possible before I clear up the relationship with the Public Security Bureau." Quentin has a big plan, and even wants to open up the relationship with the Public Security Bureau, so that he can cover the sky with one hand, so that the passengers can only accept their fate.
Lamb to the slaughter.
"Those people in the Public Security Bureau are really greedy. We gave so much money and they didn't give us a clear attitude." Boss Xin didn't have a good impression of the people in the Public Security Bureau, especially when the people in the Public Security Bureau accepted their money.
But he never made it clear that he would cooperate with them.
"You can't rush this matter, just look at me." Quentin said calmly, "Besides, don't forget that matter."
"Understood, brother." Boss Xin agreed obediently, quickly got off the bus with Lin En and a dozen other strong men, and disappeared on the platform.
