The train was driving on the railway track, and the surrounding scenery kept receding, and his body was swaying. Wang Gang was holding a pen and a small notebook, listening to Du Jiang's arrangement of work.
"Wang Gang, you and I will inspect the carriages later. Jiang Daqiao, you can write out the carriage records, and then take a good rest and take over from Wang Gang in the evening."
"Yes, master." Jiang Daqiao replied.
"Wang Gang, follow me in a moment and observe what I do carefully. I will lead you twice, and then you will patrol alone." Du Jiang turned to look at Wang Gang and said.
"Yes, master."
Du Jiang then said to the two of them: "Due to manpower shortage, there are only three of us policemen on this bus. Let's work hard and patrol in turns. Those who are not patrolling should take the time to rest and be prepared to take over."
After giving the instructions, Du Jiang took Wang Gang out of the dining car and walked towards the first carriage.
After really getting into contact with the work of a police officer, Wang Gang discovered that this profession is not easy.
Let’s talk about working hours first. From the time the train departs until the end of the station, it is the police’s working hours, regardless of day or night.
Take the line from Ningyang to Harbin as an example. Because the train was still an old-fashioned steam train at this time, the speed was very slow. It took two days and one night to depart from Ningyang to Harbin.
Including the time to return to the city, Wang Gang will have to stay in the car for at least three days.
This period of time is all his working time. Not only does he need to patrol and deal with problems during the day, but at night after the people in the car go to bed, he cannot sleep and needs to patrol every one and a half hours.
Fortunately, the three police officers took turns patrolling and had some rest time.
Secondly, there are many conflicts and disputes on the train because there is no security check system for entering the station. In theory, as long as you can carry it, you can bring anything on the train, including some dangerous goods.
Wang Gang just accompanied Du Jiang on patrolling three carriages and saw many strange people.
In order to save money, some passengers bought standing tickets, but they slept on the luggage racks, and there were even more people who got under the seats.
Some people brought a lot of luggage and even brought poultry on the train, which made the already semi-enclosed carriage stink. Other passengers couldn't stand it and started arguing, which required the police to resolve the dispute.
Wang Gang accompanied Du Jiang in the carriage and caught three piglets and two chickens. These must be recorded in the entry and exit records.
As for the petty thefts on the train, there were even more. There were people of all stripes on the train. Not long after we started driving, a middle-aged woman came over and said that her child was lost.
"Comrade police, my child is missing."
Du Jiang and Wang Gang thought there were human traffickers on the train and were suddenly shocked.
"How old is your child? Is it a boy or a girl? In which carriage was it lost?" Du Jiang took out a small notebook and prepared to record it.
"Comrade police, you misunderstood, it's not a child, it's shoes." The middle-aged woman is from the south, can't speak Mandarin, and her accent is too strong, so she refers to shoes as children.
Du Jiang and Wang Gang were relieved when they heard that the child was not lost.
"Comrade police, my shoes are very valuable. They are a pair of Shanghai brand leather shoes." The middle-aged woman said anxiously.
"Comrade, don't worry. Look around your seat to see if someone has kicked your shoes under the seat." Du Jiang is a veteran police officer and has seen a lot of strange things on the train.
, and a solution was quickly provided.
"Xiao Wang, please accompany this comrade to look for shoes."
Although Wang Gang felt speechless, he still had to look for shoes. Sure enough, he found a pair of Shanghai brand leather shoes sitting next to the middle-aged woman.
"Comrade police, thank you so much. I bought this pair of leather shoes for my man, but it cost me half a month's salary. It's really a shame. I don't even know how to tell my man."
Wang Gang said: "Sister, please put your leather shoes away. Don't put them on the ground. It's best to put them in your luggage."
"Okay, okay." The middle-aged woman said gratefully.
Wang Gang straightened his hat and prepared to leave to join Du Jiang.
When he walked to the front seat, he suddenly found a man sleeping on a chair, covering half of his face with a hat, but unconsciously reaching into the pocket of the man next to him.
Wang Gang remained calm and did not alert the thief. He pretended not to notice the man walking past him, walked out of the carriage and found Du Jiang.
"Master, I saw a thief stealing passengers' belongings."
Du Jiang frowned and asked, "Are you sure you got it right? Is it a misunderstanding?"
"It can't be a misunderstanding. The thief pretended to be sleeping and reached into the pocket of the passenger next to him. I can't be mistaken." Wang Gang said firmly.
Du Jiang's face darkened and he asked: "Since you saw the theft, why didn't you stop it?"
Wang Gang explained: "I'm worried that the thief has weapons hidden on him and there are too many passengers in the carriage."
Du Jiang looked much better and asked again: "What if the thief runs away?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I remember the look of the thief. It's still half an hour before the next stop. He can't escape unless he jumps out of the car.
Moreover, when we catch a thief, he didn’t steal anything, and we don’t have the evidence to arrest him. If he denies it, there’s nothing we can do.”
"You have considered it quite comprehensively." Du Jiang's eyes flashed with a strange look.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Master, this is what I think. Let the conductor cooperate and remove the passengers around the thief in the name of checking tickets, and then we will arrest him."
"This needs to be coordinated with the train conductor. I'll go find someone. You hurry up and keep an eye on the thief. Don't let him escape."
"Yes." Wang Gang set off immediately, but did not return to the carriage. Instead, he hid outside the carriage and kept an eye on the thief's movements.
Within a few minutes, Du Jiang came over with a man, and Wang Gang found that he was still an acquaintance.
"Uncle Lu, are you the conductor of this train?"
The person next to Du Jiang is Wang Gang's neighbor Lu Hongxing, who is also Cai Xiaonian's master.
"Xiao Gang, good job. You found a thief on the first day you got in the car. Your eyes are so poisonous."
Lu Hongxing is a neighbor who watched Wang Gang and Cai Xiaonian grow up and has a very good relationship.
"Uncle Lu, you can pretend to check the tickets later and try to get rid of the people around the thief."
"Don't worry! I know how to do it." Lu Hongxing looked at Du Jiang with a smile.
"Lao Du, this apprentice of yours has great ideas!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay! We are all our own people, no need to be polite." Du Jiang rolled his eyes and said.
Lu Hongxing laughed, then walked into the carriage alone and started checking tickets from passengers.
When he came to check the tickets next to the thief, Lu Hongxing was surprisingly calm. He first checked the tickets for the thief, and then checked the tickets for the people next to him.
"Comrade, there's something wrong with your ticket!" Lu Hongxing took the ticket and said, "Please come over and get a replacement ticket."
"What's wrong with my ticket?" The passenger stood up and shouted, "I bought the ticket at the station, is it still fake?"
"Please cooperate." Lu Hongxing said with a smile.
The passenger stood up with a grumble and followed Lu Hongxing forward.
The thief seemed to have noticed something, pressed his hat, and wanted to get up and leave in the opposite direction.
At this time, a big hand pressed on the thief's shoulder, preventing him from moving.
"Don't move, police." Du Jiang shouted loudly.
The thief was startled and suddenly took out a knife from his pocket. Wang Gang, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stepped on his wrist with one hand and cooperated with Du Jiang to suppress the thief with his body, making him unable to turn over.
"Why are you arresting me?" the thief yelled.
Wang Gang took the knife from the thief and said, "Just because you attacked the police with a knife, is this crime enough?"
The thief continued to shout: "The police are beating people! The police are beating people!"
Du Jiang snorted coldly, put his knee on the thief's waist, and pressed him firmly on the seat.
"You still dare to resist." Du Jiang searched the thief's pocket and took out two purses.
"This is my wallet." A passenger who was watching the excitement saw the two wallets, his face changed, and he immediately touched his pocket.
Wang Gang took the wallet and asked the passenger: "What evidence do you have to prove that this wallet is yours."
The passenger said: "My mother made the purse with her own hands, and my name is embroidered on it. There are twelve and thirty-five cents in the purse, which is my salary last month."
Wang Gang opened his wallet and found out twelve dollars and thirty-five cents, exactly the same.
"What else do you have to say now?" Wang Gang asked the thief with a cold face.
