Chapter 696: You put a mousetrap in your schoolbag?
The conductor looked around with sharp eyes.
The thief subconsciously put his injured right hand behind his back.
"He stole my things." Zhang Ran stared at the thief and suddenly spoke.
"You're talking nonsense!" The thief jumped in anxiety and immediately retorted loudly.
The conductor walked up to Zhang Ran and asked about the details, and Zhang Ran briefly recounted the incident.
After hearing the passing policeman: "...You put a mousetrap in your schoolbag?"
Zhang Ran looked well-behaved and sensible: "My family is from the countryside, and there are always mice running around at night. I was admitted to a university in another city this year, and I was worried that there were mice in the dormitory. I couldn't buy a mousetrap, so I put one in my schoolbag. Is that not okay?"
The conductor said: "...the mousetrap has been confiscated. You are not allowed to use it again." He turned around and asked his colleagues to catch the thief who was trying to escape.
"I didn't steal anything! I didn't! I am innocent!" The thief was restrained by two flight attendants. No matter how he struggled, he could not escape and was eventually taken away.
The box fell silent again.
The old woman immediately walked up to Zhang Ran and apologized, "Nizi, it's my fault. I didn't realize he was a thief! Are you scared?"
"I didn't realize it either. I even helped him just now!" The man with glasses was indignant. He quickly checked his things and reminded Zhang Ran, "Little girl, you should also check if your money is missing."
"Yes! Everyone, check your money to see if it's missing!" The old woman took out her pocket in front of everyone, found an old handkerchief wrapped with a few bills, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, my money is not lost."
Putting the handkerchief back into his pocket, he looked at Zhang Ran in surprise, "Nizi, why don't you check if your money is lost? Your parents should have given you tuition, right? Why don't you check it quickly? If it's lost, you won't be able to go to college!"
Zhang Ran: "I don't have any money, so I don't need to watch it."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "You are a very alert child. I am not a bad person. How can you go to college without money? How can you pay the tuition without money?"
Zhang Ran shyly explained: "I have good grades, so the school waived my tuition."
The old woman's face stiffened for a moment, "...Is that so? Your ancestral grave is really smoking."
Zhang Ran nodded in agreement seriously, then turned and walked out.
"Nizi, where are you going?" the old woman asked curiously, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Go to the bathroom." Zhang Ran stopped and looked at her to explain.
"That's great. I want to go up too." The old woman walked over quickly.
"Respect the elderly and love the young. You go first." Zhang Ran brushed past her and walked back to the bed and sat down.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You are a really sensible child. Grandma will go first." Before leaving, she glanced at the man with glasses and quickly walked out of the car.
Ten minutes later she returned to the carriage and Zhang Ran went out to the toilet.
Watching the door of the box open and close, the old woman's face darkened instantly, "The girl is quite capable. Ma Zi was caught. Could she have seen something and wanted to run away?"
The bespectacled man lying on the upper bunk sneered, "You think too much. How can a girl like that be capable of that? If she is caught stealing, she will be released after a few days in jail at most. There is no need to worry." He then changed the subject and started to curse, "I think Ma Zi is stupid. How can the prey that came to his door run away? He was caught because he was impatient."
The old woman glanced at the schoolbag on the bed opposite her, "The schoolbag is still there, the person shouldn't have run away." She raised her head and looked at the bunk above her, "I've run out of medicine, do you have any left? This girl is a college student, she's well-dressed, we're lucky this time, we can make more money by selling it."
