Chapter 8 Reasonable Doubt
Chapter 8 Reasonable Doubt
Tang Deshang has been in the industry for so many years, and his intuitive judgment has never been wrong.
The moment he thought of Liu Lang, his past experience told him that it must be this child.
Then he walked out of the door calmly and saw Li Kang and the others happily cracking melon seeds and eating fruits.
My heart ached, "This is all my money!~"
Where would a group of poor kids get so much money to buy fruit snacks?
If it weren't for his money, he would have dared to tear his head off.
Tang Deshang calmly came to Li Kang and others.
The empty seats on both sides of the door are where passengers without tickets rest.
As long as you don’t mind the dirt, you can sit on the ground and sleep, or even lean on someone else.
Lin Meixia likes to lean on Li Kang when she sleeps.
Lin Meixia, who grew up in a single-parent family, enjoys the warmth and support that Li Kang brings her.
Li Kang also likes a sister like Lin Meixia.
But in Tang Deshang's eyes, they are all a group of wild children.
He suppressed his disgust and looked at the five children.
"These kids are all in the same group. We can't use force against them."
Based on his experience, only the tall-looking Li Kang and the bad-looking Liu Lang are not easy to mess with.
The other three are all honest kids and the easiest to deal with.
Only one of the five children was carrying a backpack.
It looks like there's quite a lot of stuff in Liu Lang's bag.
The sound of the drum swelled up, which made Tang Deshang feel inexplicably angry.
"It looks like a lot of things were stolen. The money should be in that kid's bag."
So Tang Deshang tried hard to make himself look like a gentle and trustworthy uncle.
This was not difficult for him.
If he couldn't control his facial expressions, he would have earned so much money and would have been eaten up by others.
Unfortunately, even after success, I still couldn't suppress the expansion of my heart.
Three hundred thousand is an astronomical figure at this time.
"Hello, children."
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Only Zhang Ziming, a devout believer, replied: "Hello, uncle."
Tang Deshang felt a little unhappy, "How dare a bunch of wild kids ignore me."
He suppressed his anger and said in a negotiating tone: "Can you help me? I need a bag.
You two are together, right? Can you sell me the bag your friend is carrying? I need it to carry some things."
Zhang Ziming was in a dilemma as it was not his turn to decide what to do with Liu Lang's bag.
"You want my bag? I've already filled it with my own stuff, why should I sell it to you?"
Tang Deshang had already thought of a way to deal with it, and said with a smile: "I'll buy it for a hundred dollars, okay? Anyway, you have many companions in the same group, so I can help you take the things out."
"I'm alone and forgot to buy a bag before I got on the train. Now I want to buy some local specialties on the train and bring them back for my children."
"My child kept asking me to buy her some local specialties, but I almost forgot."
"But the things I have inside are not convenient, they are all fast-moving consumer goods."
Liu Lang also knew the other party's purpose. How could he not know what he was doing?
“This old guy is quite smart, he actually guessed it was me.
But you have no evidence, what can you do to me!"
He was panicked, but he didn't show any fear.
He noticed a faint smile on Liu Lang's face, as if he was mocking him.
My anger was rising like a rocket.
He was so angry that he wanted to rush over and snatch Liu Lang's bag.
Just when he had this idea,
"Take out your tickets, it's time to check them!"
The conductor checks tickets and does whatever he wants.
Passengers who are just taking a short trip will just get off.
But if you take such a long journey, from Yunnan to Shanghai, the total distance is more than 2,000 kilometers.
Not spending a penny would be a bit too much.
But some people still succeed in evading the ticket.
The main thing is to have a good attitude and catch a few unlucky guys.
Otherwise, if the news gets out, no one will buy tickets and they will be left with nothing.
"Brother Kang, what should we do if we don't have tickets?" Lin Meixia asked anxiously.
There were five children, and not one of them had a ticket.
Li Kang whispered to them, "When the conductor is checking tickets, go behind him. He should have picked up tickets in the places he has been to."
Generally, conductors will not check passengers with standing tickets.
He knew clearly what kind of people these passengers were.
But we can't guarantee that every one of them will be checked.
The conductor who was checking caught a passenger who evaded the fare right at the connection between the carriages.
"Where's your ticket?"
The man was a little flustered, and said in a flattering tone: "I think I lost my ticket. Please make an exception. I bought the ticket, and it seems that I accidentally lost it when I went to the toilet."
"No, you have to buy a new ticket."
As he spoke, the conductor had already taken out the ticket machine and asked, "Where did you get on the train?"
This person was also very honest and answered honestly: "Yunnan."
The conductor thought, "What a fool! We are about to arrive in Shanghai, and you are still saying you are leaving from Yunnan."
"Just say you got on the bus in Hangzhou and saved a lot of money."
He looked at the man strangely. Since everything had been said, he could only follow the rules.
The man was still begging, "Please be flexible. It's not easy for me to earn money by working outside. I can only buy two tickets for one trip."
The conductor said loudly, "I'll accommodate you, but who will accommodate me?"
"Who told you not to take the ticket? Remember this lesson next time."
In the end, I still obediently bought a full-trip ticket from Yunnan to Shanghai.
"Meixia, when you walk over, stay calm, just like you're going to the toilet."
Zhang Ziming, Liu Lang and others have succeeded.
Take advantage of the time when the conductor is checking tickets.
Even if I noticed the behavior of several children.
The conductor also pretended not to notice.
"Learn from these kids. You are a grown-up, yet you are still so stupid."
Even if he wanted to give this migrant worker some leeway, he still had to consider the impact.
Lin Meixia was still a little timid, and was visibly nervous when she passed behind the conductor.
The conductor originally wanted to let the little girl pass.
Tang Deshang, who had been unhappy with Li Kang and the others, shouted, "Little girl, it seems that your ticket has been dropped."
I didn’t expect Lin Meixia to blurt it out! ! ! !
"Uncle, you must be mistaken. I didn't buy a ticket."
! ! ! !
Li Kang's mind went blank.
Liu Lang and the others who had already passed by were dumbfounded.
I cried secretly in my heart.
"It's over. How could Meixia be so quiet? The conductor must have heard it."
Lin Meixia also realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and she was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
The person was still standing there motionless.
If you were smart, you would have run over there earlier.
Tang Deshang was happy, "After all, she is still a little young. She is just a silly girl born in the countryside."
Li Kang quickly gestured to Lin Meixia, telling her to leave quickly and not stand there.
Lin Meixia stood there for more than ten seconds.
I almost had a breakdown.
The little pearl has already run to the eye socket.
Fortunately, Liu Lang was smart and came over to pull her away.
The conductor acted as if he hadn't heard it.
After paying for the ticket for that person, I prepared to leave.
Go to the next carriage to check your tickets.
Perhaps the noise of the train tracks was too loud for him to hear.
Tang Deshang was very dissatisfied. The girl made such a loud noise just now, it was impossible that you didn't hear it.
Just as he was about to continue reporting to the conductor, Li Kang pulled him back.
"Uncle, I want to discuss something with you, can you come over for a moment?"
Tang Deshang still opened his mouth and shouted, "Conductor, I want it."
The conductor seemed to be hard of hearing, with his head down fiddling with the machine in his hands.
Li Kang pulled Tang Deshang hard.
"Uncle, stop shouting. Let's discuss what's going on."
Tang Deshang thought to himself, this is too obvious.
The people around him also felt a little uncomfortable.
He yelled, "Stop yelling! If you yell again, I'll smash your mouth."
