Chapter 17 24 hours (Saturday)

At 2:00 a.m. on the 21st, Carriage 10 of the L63 train

The l63 train has been out of Dongxi Station for more than an hour, and the lighting of all the cars has already gone out. Most of the passengers who have been struggling all night have fallen asleep.

Yang Sufen was lying in the No. 5 Middle Shop but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The middle-aged woman in the No. 6 Middle Shop opposite was simply a shrew. Others treated Yang Sufen as a life-and-death enemy with a few words of teasing. First, they cursed, and then rushed up with their teeth and claws to fight Yang Sufen! Even though Yang Sufen had a lot of strength to farm since she was a child, she was not the opponent of this shrew. This woman in the No. 6 Middle Shop was too ruthless! She grabbed her face, pinched her breasts, pulled her hair, teared her clothes, and kicked her lower abdomen. A series of cruel and vicious actions made Yang Sufen feel busy and almost had no power to fight back. It was naturally difficult for women to participate in the fight. Duan Qiang finally pulled his wife away. In just a moment, Yang Sufen had been caught with several bloody wounds on her face.

After such a struggle, the young man who was coughing naturally failed to go to Yang Sufen's middle shop. Duan Qiang, who was full of evil spirits, dragged the young man back to his bed - the lower shop of No. 10. The big man who had just driven away the young man away, looked at Duan Qiang's provocative look and didn't say anything...

The son made even snoring around her. Yang Sufen pulled the blanket covered by her son and then gently turned over. She could still feel the scorching pain on her face. Although it was too late, she was not sleepy at all.

What happened to these people? Yang Sufen really couldn't understand. Didn't he just stayed in the quarantine area for about 20 days? Why did they look like a doomsday? A young man almost got sent to the quarantine area after coughing twice. If there was no police in the car to maintain order, these people would definitely drive the young man out of the car!

Yang Sufen sighed secretly. People nowadays are becoming more and more impetuous. Just because of Dr. Zhang's words, the people in the entire carriage were about to go crazy.

Dr. Zhang? Yang Sufen looked at the lower bunk of No. 6. From the position where she was lying, you could see the lower bunk of No. 6 in full. Dr. Zhang was lying inward with his body in his side, as if he was asleep.

What Dr. Zhang said was really terrifying. In his mouth, the pneumoplague seemed to be no longer a germ, but an invisible devil. They were patiently lurking in every corner of the carriage, rushing out at any time, taking away the lives of passengers...

Dr. Zhang's body suddenly moved, and a shimmering light leaked out from the gap in his side-lying body.

Lan Guang? Yang Sufen was stunned. The lights in the car had already turned off. How could Lan Guang appear next to Dr. Zhang's body?

Yang Sufen sat up quietly, stretched her neck and looked at the inside of Dr. Zhang's body. In an instant, Yang Sufen almost screamed. The one that emitted the blue light was actually a mobile phone! And Dr. Zhang didn't sleep at all. He leaned against his body and blocked his phone with his right hand. He pressed the keyboard of his mobile phone as if he was typing something. Although Yang Sufen is a rural woman in the mountainous area, she is not unfamiliar with mobile phones. Many villagers in Yangjia Village bought mobile phones, so they have a better understanding of some basic functions of mobile phones. Judging from Dr. Zhang's actions, she can basically be sure that Dr. Zhang is secretly sending text messages to the outside world!

Yang Sufen slowly lay on the bed again, and all kinds of thoughts came over. He could hear clearly from the radio - according to regulations, all passengers must hand over their mobile phones and be kept by the police, otherwise they would be severely punished. Why didn't Dr. Zhang hand over his mobile phone? What was the purpose of hiding his mobile phone at a huge risk? Just to send a few text messages in the middle of the night? Thinking of Dr. Zhang's creepy appearance of portraying the pneumoplague, Yang Sufen felt increasingly that Dr. Zhang was not a good person!

No! I have to report this situation to the police! Yang Sufen made up her mind secretly. She turned her head and looked at the lower bunk No. 6. The doctor Zhang was still fiddling with his cell phone with his side. I will report it when you fall asleep! Yang Sufen yawned and slowly closed her eyes - it was so sleepy, I will take a break for a while...

At 3:40 in the morning, Yang Sufen suddenly woke up from her dream.

She looked around and saw that the carriage was pitch black and the surroundings were quiet, and sometimes the man could be heard. She turned around and looked at the lower bunk No. 6. With the faint light on the aisle of the carriage, she saw that Dr. Zhang was already lying flat on the bed and was already asleep.

She sat up and climbed quietly along the ladder. She tiptoed to the lower bunk of No. 6, stretched her neck and looked inside the bed - her phone was gone. She turned around and was about to walk away - suddenly, her shoulder was patted!

Yang Sufen was startled. She turned her head and saw a man sitting on the bed under her bunk, looking at her with bright eyes.

"What do you want to do?" the man lowered his voice and asked, "Want to steal something?"

Yang Sufen hurriedly put her finger in front of her mouth and made a silence gesture. She walked gently to the lower bunk of No. 5 and sat down, bit the man's ear and said, "I saw Dr. Zhang contacting the outside with his cell phone."

"Did you see his cell phone?" The man's voice was low, but his expression was surprised.

Yang Sufen nodded, bit the man's ear and said, "I don't think this person looks like a good person. I'm going to go to the police report."

"Are you going to find the police?" The man's face seemed a little strange.

"You stare at him and you can catch him when I find the police." Yang Sufen said softly.

The man suddenly laughed. Although the light in the car was very dim, Yang Sufen vaguely felt that the man's smile seemed very strange...

4:12 am.

A female passenger in Break 15 climbed down from the upper bunk and was in a daze to go to the bathroom. As soon as her feet fell to the ground, she stepped on something soft.

"What?" She bent down and took a look.

Immediately, she jumped up.

"Die! Dare! Help..."

The sound is shrill, like a ghost.

4:16 am.

Liu Chang hurried to Car No. 10. At this time, the flight attendant had turned on the lighting of Car No. 10. A large group of sleepy passengers rubbed their eyes and squeezed around the aisle next to Bed No. 15 and were talking. A man's sad cry was so harsh.

Liu Chang separated the crowd and walked to the next to the bed No. 15. A female corpse was lying quietly on the ground. A man next to him was kneeling on the ground and cried in a mess, his face covered in tears and snot.

Liu Chang squatted down and looked at the female corpse on the ground carefully. The dead woman was about thirty years old and had rough skin. She looked like a rural woman who worked outside all year round. She looked at the top with empty eyes, and her neck was covered in blood and flesh - her throat was cut off.

Liu Chang raised his head and asked the crying man next to him: "What is the name of this woman? What does it have to do with you?"

"Her name is Yang Sufen, and he is my wife." The man wiped tears with his hands, his face very badly.

"Which bed is yours? When did you find out she was killed?" Liu Chang asked.

"We are in Shop 5. I slept on the upper bunk. My wife and son were in Shop 4. After the train left Dongxi Station, we all went to bed. Until just now, I heard someone shouting 'It's dead,' I was awakened. I looked into the Shop and my wife disappeared. I thought it wasn't good, so I climbed down from the bunk and walked over to see it. The result was that my wife was killed."

The man started crying and everyone around him sighed.

Liu Chang slowly stood up, his face tightly. A murder occurred in the carriage, and it was on such a special train - which made him feel very tricky.

"Police officer, I know who killed my sister-in-law!" a man said excitedly.

Liu Chang turned his head and asked, "Who are you? How do you know who the murderer is?"

"My name is Duan Gang. This is my brother Duan Qiang. The person who died is my sister-in-law!" The man was very excited. He turned his head and pointed at a middle-aged woman watching the fun and said gritting her teeth: "It's her! I even had a fight with my sister-in-law before going to bed. Look at the scratches on my sister-in-law's face, it's her who did it!"

The woman's face turned pale suddenly. She waved her hand desperately and shouted, "It's not me who killed me, I've been sleeping."

Duan Gang forced her over step by step, his eyes seemed to be spitting out of fire: "You dare to say that you didn't kill me? You are closest to my sister-in-law in the No. 6 Middle Shop! You fought with my sister-in-law before going to bed, and you held a grudge. I killed her while my sister-in-law got up! This must be the case!"

"Calm down! Little brother." Liu Chang held Duan Gang, who was about to pounce on him, and said, "Your sister-in-law was cut off from her throat. Few women can use this kind of murder method unless she has received special training!"

Duan Gang was stunned. Duan Qiang had already stood up slowly and gritted his teeth and said, "This police officer is right! Your sister-in-law was not killed by a woman, but a man killed her!"

"Man? Who is it?" Duan Gang asked hurriedly.

"It's him!" Duan Qiang's fingers pointed at the man on the lower bunk No. 9. The man's face immediately turned pale.

"At that time, the little brother from Shop 10 was just coughing twice, and this person was about to drive him away. It was your sister-in-law who stood up and said justice! I forced this little brother to let him return to Shop 10. He must have a grudge, but I can't do anything to him. So he attacked your sister-in-law!" Duan Qiang said with a slight measure.

"I'll fight with you!" Before Duan Qiang finished speaking, Duan Gang waved his fists and pounced on him, but was forcibly lifted away by two special police officers.

"Police officer, I didn't kill anyone, really, I didn't kill anyone. I swear..." the big man said pitifully.

Liu Chang pondered for a moment and made a gesture to his special police: "Take away the two suspects who were witnessed by the relatives of the deceased! Also, take the body of the deceased to the medical carriage."

At 5:5 am, the L63 train command car.

Fang Tianming listened to Liu Chang's report silently, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

"The deceased was a middle-aged woman in the middle shop of No. 5, Carriage No. 10. It is understood that the deceased had a dispute with a man and a woman before going to bed. The deceased's relatives also accused the two of them of being the murderer. I also took them to Carriage No. 14 for temporary detention. However, according to my observation, these two people are not very suspicious."

"Why?"

Liu Chang calmly analyzed: "The deceased was killed by someone's throat cut. Such a killing method is not common. Also, the No. 10 car is so big, and more than 100 passengers were squeezed. Although everyone was sleeping at the time of the incident, it was impossible to kill a living person so quietly and throw the body into the aisle without disturbing others - is this what an ordinary person can do? I saw the two suspects who were witnessed by the relatives of the deceased, and I won't say about the woman, an ordinary middle-aged woman. The man was bloated and had loose skin. It's hard to imagine that such a person could do such a beautiful job. I took these two suspects out of the No. 10 car, the main purpose of me was to soothe the emotions of the deceased's relatives. On the other hand, I could also protect these two passengers. If I left them in the No. 10 car, I was worried that something might happen."

Fang Tianming nodded, expressing his agreement with Liu Chang's handling. He thought for a while and asked again: "What do you mean is that the real murderer is probably still in the No. 10 carriage? Do you have any doubts?"

Liu Chang shook his head: "I don't know. This murder case is very difficult. I have observed carefully at the scene. The deceased was dressed neatly. Therefore, it is unlikely that he was killed on the bed. It was probably because she was killed after the lower bunk. The place where the deceased was found was on the aisle next to the bunk. The deceased was lying towards the exit of the carriage. This posture was very strange. First of all, the deceased had his throat cut off. The most likely possibility of the murderer was to cover the mouth of the deceased from the back of the deceased and then cut off her throat. If the deceased was killed in the bunk No. 15, lie from her

Judging from the posture of the train, it should have been killed on the way back from the toilet. However, I asked the guards, and the guards had never seen the deceased go to the toilet. Therefore, it was unlikely that the place where the deceased was the first scene of the murder, but that the murderer killed the deceased in other places and threw the body there. Due to the special situation of this train, it was impossible for me to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the No. 10 car, so I can only confirm that the murder is probably still in the No. 10 car. Moreover, I feel that the murderer is very unusual, and it is very likely that he is a professional veteran with special training!"

Professional veteran! Fang Tianming felt a sank and asked, "What about the motive? Why did a professional veteran kill a middle-aged woman?"

"Kill people to silence!" Liu Chang looked solemn. He said slowly: "The passengers on the train are all strangers. The possibility of vendetta can be ruled out. The deceased is an ordinary rural woman. The train is at such a special moment, and the possibility of slaughtering can also be ruled out. The only motivation is that the deceased sees something in the aisle, and these things will threaten the safety of someone, so the deceased will be killed."

Fang Tianming's body was shocked and he murmured: "This No. 10 car is not simple."

Liu Chang said helplessly: "I have sent one special police to the junction of carriage No. 10 and carriage No. 9 to strengthen the vigilance there, so that there will be three special police there. We have limited staff and the junction of carriages is only such a big place - now, we can only do so much."

Fang Tianming nodded. He looked at his watch: "It's 5:30 am now. There are 13 hours left before we can reach the destination. You tell the guards the special police - everyone has tightened the strings within these 13 hours, so be vigilant!"

"There are 13 hours left?" Liu Chang smiled bitterly: "This time is so slow."
