Jiang Xinyu was very confused. Now that martial law has been lifted, why should trains be cancelled?
A young man in ragged clothes slowly approached the locked door of the waiting room while no one was paying attention, and squeezed in through the crack of the door due to his small stature.
This is the most common method used by homeless people. They sneak into the station in advance. Whether it is a freight train or a passenger train, they first find a nook and corner to hide in.
After a few hours, or even longer, you can take the free train and go where you want to go.
Jiang Xinyu saw it in his eyes and did not say anything to expose it. This kind of thing is like dust in the sun, it is as common as it is.
There were so many people in the ticket office that the security guards who maintained order couldn't take care of them. They didn't notice anyone sneaking in.
Tongtong was very interested, looking around and looking around. Everything he saw felt new. This is how people are, always full of curiosity about strange environments.
"Bang!"
An iron door leading to the platform suddenly opened, and the boy was pushed out. Behind him was a warrant officer wearing a helmet, who yelled: "If you catch me again, you won't be so polite!"
The young man promised obediently. When he saw the station guard coming towards him, he quickly smeared the soles of his feet with oil and escaped.
"That's weird, how did this bastard get in?" The guard couldn't help but tsked as he watched the young man run away.
The warrant officer said with a cold face: "When we found him, everyone was almost climbing into the car! Don't say I didn't warn you, if the officer gets angry, it's no joke!"
After saying this, there was a bang and the warrant officer locked the iron door from the inside.
"Who are you trying to scare by using chicken feathers as arrows..." the guard muttered while patrolling around. He was also afraid of taking responsibility, so he shouted and drove several homeless people out of the station.
There are actually soldiers on the platform?
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said to Tong Tong, "I'm going to the toilet."
"I'll wait for you there." Tong Tong pointed to the newsstand not far away.
"good!"
Entering the toilet partition, Jiang Xinyu took out the business card holder he had received.
There are all kinds of business cards. Judging from the names, most of them are businessmen, and occasionally there are government officials.
Nowadays, printing business cards is very fashionable. Even civilian officers in the army have business cards. This is not only a show-off mentality, but also very convenient.
One of the business cards bore the name of Secretary Zhou, the Senate President of the City Hall. Jiang Xinyu put the business card in his arms and threw the rest into the trash can.
He opened his briefcase and took out a pair of round plain mirrors and a brace. These were prepared in advance when he came out of the house.
Putting on glasses and braces, Jiang Xinyu became a different person. As long as he didn't meet anyone he knew, he didn't have to worry about being recognized.
After coming out of the toilet, I looked around for a while. The guards were driving away the homeless. As expected, Tong Tong was in front of the newsstand, holding a illustrated magazine and reading it with gusto.
Jiang Xinyu smiled in his heart. He just thought about what to do if he met an acquaintance, so he said that he was dressing up like this to scare Tong Tong.
Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, it is still possible to get away with it. Many people are well aware of the relationship between Jiang Xinyu and Tong Tong, and there is nothing wrong with them playing with each other.
When you come to the stairwell, walk quickly up the stairs. The second floor is condescending and you can see what's going on inside the platform.
Standing in front of the corridor window on the second floor, Jiang Xinyu looked into the distance and saw a freight train with fully enclosed carriages parked on the long railway track!
The carriages were connected one after another. Due to the different viewing angles, it seemed that the end and end could not be seen. Jiang Xinyu made a rough estimate and found that there were at least fifty carriages.
There are guard posts every three steps and one sentry every five steps on the platform, and there are fully armed military police everywhere.
Under this level of vigilance, it was quite difficult for the boy to get close to the train.
There is no doubt that this is a military train loaded with military supplies!
Jiang Xinyu understood that the martial law in nearby neighborhoods in the morning, including the cancellation of today's passenger train, were all related to this freight train!
On the other hand, although today's passenger train has been cancelled, the ticket office is already selling tickets for tomorrow, which means that this military train will leave Yanjin tomorrow!
If it were ordinary military supplies, such a large formation would not be arranged.
Normal vigilance is essential, but in Jiang Xinyu’s view, both martial law and the cancellation of passenger trains are completely unnecessary!
As soon as the door behind him rang, a staff member came out, looked at Jiang Xinyu suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Xinyu didn't panic, put his hands behind his back, and said arrogantly: "From the city hall, I'm looking for your dispatch chief!"
Seeing that this person was quite dignified and was from the city hall, the staff did not dare to ask any more questions and said, "Dispatch Chief Huang is in the office..."
"Please lead the way!"
"You're welcome, please come with me!"
Turning the corner of the corridor, the first door is the dispatcher's office.
Jiang Xinyu waved his hand to signal the staff to go away, then knocked on the door twice, opened the door and walked in.
Dispatcher Huang was in his forties and had a stout figure. A photo of the Central Daily News blocked his face and said, "Do you understand the rules and let you in?"
Jiang Xinyu walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down, took the cigarette on the table and lit one.
Hearing the sound of a match being struck, Dispatcher Huang put down the newspaper and realized that the person coming was not one of his men, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"From the city hall." Jiang Xinyu handed over Secretary Zhou's business card.
Seeing that it was the secretary of the Senate President, Dispatcher Huang did not dare to neglect and said politely: "It turns out to be Secretary Zhou. May I ask, what do you do for me?"
"I was ordered to go on a business trip to Peiping. When I arrived at the station, I discovered that the train was cancelled. I want to ask why the train was suddenly canceled?" Jiang Xinyu said.
Dispatcher Huang said: "Oh, that's what happened. The cancellation of the train is the intention of the security headquarters. I also received the notice this morning. I'm really sorry for delaying your schedule."
Jiang Xinyu snorted coldly and said: "It's just nonsense. I canceled it immediately without saying hello beforehand. It's so shameless!"
No matter it was the security headquarters or the city hall, a small station dispatcher could not afford to offend anyone. Dispatcher Huang could only agree and said: "No, it's really outrageous..."
Jiang Xinyu shook his head and pretended to be helpless and said: "Those people in the garrison headquarters are prone to military emergencies. One excuse can be used hundreds of thousands of times, and everyone still has to suffer. Alas, there is nothing we can do!"
"That's what I'm saying. There's no war anymore, so how can there be so many urgent military affairs." Dispatcher Huang crawled out of bed early in the morning and had been busy all day, feeling somewhat resentful in his heart.
"Isn't it just transporting military supplies? We even stopped the passenger train... Dispatcher Huang, what's on the train? Insoles, socks, or bedding and military uniforms?" Jiang Xinyu said in a pretense of nonchalance.
