South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 10: Encountering a Thief in a Carriage

"Officer Yuan, thank you for helping Lao Ma so much, but I have also helped appeal this matter for several years, but I have always lacked evidence. Why don't we just forget it?"

"How do you know if you don't try this thing? Just forget about it. That's it for now. I'll come over when I leave and take away the things you want to give to Lao Ma. I won't stay any longer. I'm leaving first." Yuan Mu stood up and said.

"No, stay for dinner!" Wang Sufang said quickly.

"No, I have something else to do. Let Lao Ma treat me to a meal when he gets out of prison!" Yuan Mu smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left.

"Mom! When will my dad be able to come back?" Ma Yan was crying and looked at Wang Sufang.

"Yan Zi, it will be soon. Someone is helping us." Wang Sufang sighed deeply and touched Ma Yan's head to comfort her.

After Yuan Mu left the Ma family, he started to wander around. He went to the Railway Public Security Bureau and the Passenger Police Team. He walked around for two days in a row, but it was all in vain. In the end, there was just one word: lack of evidence.

Yes, now the chain of evidence is broken. If Wang Yongge doesn't help to testify, the two thieves won't be caught. This is a vicious circle.

Yuan Mu had no choice but to give up. His vacation was limited to five days, and nearly two days would be spent on the road. Now he had used two days to help Lao Ma, so he basically had no vacation left.

Is Lao Ma destined to wait until the ten-year term is up and the two thieves are caught before he can be rehabilitated?

At six o'clock in the evening, Yuan Mu bought some snacks and a few bottles of wine and returned to the compound. He found a few people he was on good terms with and got together to drink.

Wang Yongge, Wang Xin, Uncle Cai, Cai Xiaonian, Uncle Lu and Old Brother Wu gathered at Yuan Mu's house to drink. They each brought some wine and food, and everyone was having fun together.

Although what Wang Yongge did in this matter of Lao Ma was indeed very unkind, he could not comment on it because Wang Yongge had been nice to the original owner back then, so he would not judge.

This person has problems, but he has more good sides. He is not feeling good about what happened to Lao Ma either. Many things are like this. Yuan Mu himself is powerless, and he has tried his best. Maybe this is Lao Ma's fate.

Of course, Yuan Mu did try hard on Wang Yongge. He tried to probe Wang Yongge, but Wang Yongge was very tight-lipped and he would not get any information from him, so he just gave up.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the holiday, Yuan Mu took the clothes that Wang Sufang gave to Lao Ma and boarded the train back to Harbin.

Yuan Mu was lucky on the return trip, as he successfully got a sleeper ticket from Wang Yongge. He finally didn't have to stand or squeeze with others. He could just lie on the berth and have a good sleep before arriving at his destination.

Time soon came to late at night. Yuan Mu, who was lying on the bunk, was awakened by the urge to pee. He raised his wrist to look at his watch and found that it was already twelve:05 in the morning.

He got down from his bunk quietly, put on his shoes and walked towards the toilet, but he found that there was a queue at the toilet door and several people were waiting to use the toilet. Yuan Mu was a little anxious so he walked towards the toilet in the next carriage.

But it is really inconvenient to go back and forth. Although there are fewer people in the sleeper car, there are many people in the ordinary car. People are crowded together, and many people fall asleep while standing.

Yuan Mu shook his head and carefully walked through the crowd, trying not to wake them up. Fortunately, there was no one in the toilet in this carriage, so he went to the toilet happily.

Just when Yuan Mu was about to return to the sleeper car, he saw a man in a brown hat and a yellow cotton jacket in front of him looking around suspiciously.

Who is Yuan Mu? In his previous life, he was the captain of the criminal police. He had seen countless criminals of all kinds and arrested hundreds of suspects. Judging from the state of this man, he was not a good person, so Yuan Mu hid in a corner.

He had the skill of Eagle Eyes and could see very clearly. He clearly saw the man looking around for a while and then reaching his hand into the pocket of a woman who was sleeping while standing. In just a few tenths of a second, a wad of money was taken out by him.

This method, he's a habitual offender! Yuan Mu narrowed his eyes and thought, but he didn't rush forward to catch him, because at this time it was more important to observe and see if he had any accomplices.

A smart thief will often not keep the stolen goods on himself, but will choose to transfer them as soon as possible. In this way, even if he is caught, the police will have no evidence to convict him, and will have to release him helplessly.

The man was seen walking towards Yuan Mu, passing many people along the way, but he never made a move. However, Yuan Mu was not in a hurry at all. This was just the beginning. In his previous life, he had waited for several days or even months to catch a criminal.

The man was getting closer and closer to the connection of the carriages. At this time, a man sitting near the connection raised his head. The two men quickly exchanged glances, and the man in yellow clothes quickly transferred the money in his pocket to the hand of the sitting man.

Yuan Mu looked as if it was just as he expected. This was indeed the routine. The man sitting there was not participating in the theft. He was only responsible for collecting the stolen goods. The two would divide the money after getting off the car.

Just when Yuan Mu felt the time was almost right and was about to step forward to catch the man, the man in yellow clothes chose his target again, a man leaning against the door at the connection between the carriages.

The man was leaning against the door, with his head tilted back and snoring softly. It was obvious that he was fast asleep. Moreover, his clothes were wide open. Wasn't he inviting theft?

Yuan Mu moved his wrists and ankles, ready to take action at any time. Just as the man in yellow put his hand into the clothes of the man sleeping by the door, Yuan Mu pushed the ground with his right foot and rushed out.

Yuan Mu was standing very close to the man in yellow, probably only a few meters away, but he was turning a corner and had a blind spot, so the man in yellow did not see him.

When the man in yellow reacted, Yuan Mu had already grabbed his wrist with one hand, and in his hand was a wad of money and several bills.

For a moment, the man in yellow was stunned, and the man who was sleeping standing up was also awakened and looked at the two of them blankly.

"Wake up and see if your money is lost!" Yuan Mu said unhappily to the man who was sleeping standing up.

The man who was sleeping standing up subconsciously touched his pocket, but nothing was missing. He was about to get anxious when he suddenly saw the money and bills in the hands of the man in yellow.

"You stole my money!" he said, snatching the money from the man in yellow.

"Boy! I advise you to mind your own business!" The man in yellow glared at Yuan Mu fiercely, and then tried to break free from Yuan Mu's hand.

But Yuan Mu's hands were like iron clamps, tightly gripping his wrist. The more he struggled, the more pain he felt. Finally, the man in yellow screamed in pain.
