South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Wang Xin, long time no see. You're a police officer now!" Yuan Mu looked at Wang Xin and said with a smile.

Hearing this voice, Wang Xin raised his head and looked at Yuan Mu, and then his expression became surprised.

"Brother Mu!!"

"Oh, yes, that's me."

"Why are you back?"

"That's right. Ningyang is my home, so I have to go home!" Yuan Mu rolled his eyes at Wang Xin in annoyance.

"No, I mean how do you have time to come back?"

"Okay, now is not the time to reminisce. Let's get him in the car first. We'll be leaving soon."

"Okay, then Brother Mu, I'll have to trouble you to come with me to take the statement." Wang Xin pulled the man up and said to Yuan Mu.

"Okay, let's go." Yuan Mu nodded, then got into the car with Wang Xin.

Inside the dining car.

Yuan Mu sat on one side, the thief squatted on one side, and the man who was robbed sat opposite Wang Xin.

Under Wang Xin's interrogation, the thief confessed to the fact of theft and was then taken away by another conductor on the train and temporarily locked up.

Speaking of Wang Guofu, the man who lost the money, he was quite resourceful. He hid the money in the sesame seed buns, but unfortunately, it was still eaten up by others.

Wang Guofu was a weirdo. He was afraid of losing his money again, so he wanted to put the money with Wang Xin first. Wang Xin disagreed and insisted on making him kneel down. Finally, Wang Xin had no more tricks and arranged Wang Guofu to sit in the driver's seat. Now he was completely safe.

No matter how powerful the thief was, it was impossible for him to steal things in the train cab. That would be simply seeking death.

Car connection.

"Here, would you like a whole one?" Yuan Mu took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Xin.

"Brother Mu, I don't smoke." Wang Xin quickly refused.

"Okay, it's better not to smoke. Unlike me, it's hard to quit smoking." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile, then took out a lighter and lit it.

"Hey, Brother Mu, you were so handsome just now. You just slammed your back and knocked the thief away. How did you get so strong? How did you practice it? Can you teach me?" Wang Xin asked with a longing look on his face.

"Hey! I didn't use much strength in that move I just made. It was just a clever move. Look, that thief was running towards me. He had a high speed and I used that strength to knock him away. Actually, you can do it, too." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Really? Okay, I'll try it tomorrow." Wang Xin looked eager to try.

"I'm telling you, you have to be careful and don't hurt yourself. It's best to subdue the suspect in the simplest way." Yuan Mu reminded.

"Okay, I see."

"By the way, how do you feel about being a police officer these days?"

"It's pretty good. Let me tell you, I've caught a few thieves recently. There's just one bad thing. My superior assigned me a master, and that guy was very cruel to me. I'll have to report to my superior tomorrow to get a new one." Wang Xin looked unhappy when he mentioned this.

"Oh? What's your master's name?" Yuan Mu asked, vaguely guessing something.

"His name is Ma Kui. I heard he was released from there. His police status was restored after he was wrongly convicted. Hey! He was released from your Harbin prison. Brother Mu, do you recognize him?"

"Ma Kui? I know him. I know him very well! You should be happy that Ma Kui can be your master. I am very familiar with him. He is a very capable man. Go and learn from him. You will be able to do it well once you learn it." Yuan Mu showed an expression as if he knew it, then patted him on the shoulder and said.

"No way, I've been with him for several days, and I haven't seen him do anything." Wang Xin looked unconvinced.

"You'll learn about this later. Take your time. We in the police business must not rush into anything. We must proceed step by step. When we do things, we must watch, listen, and observe more. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand." Wang Xin nodded.

Yuan Mu knew from his expression that he didn't listen, but it didn't matter. Young people need to experience more setbacks in order to make progress. If everything goes smoothly all the time, he won't be able to grow, right?

"By the way, where is the old horse?"

"Oh, he didn't come today because of something else."

"Okay, then don't stand here anymore. Go on patrol. You don't have to accompany me. Come find me when you get off the bus and have time." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Brother Xingmu, when I get off the car, I'll go have a drink with you." Wang Xin smiled and then turned and left.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

With a long whistle, the train slowly stopped and arrived at Ningyang Station.

Yuan Mu took his luggage and got off the bus with the crowd, then took a bus towards the compound.

Everything was still so familiar. The children were playing at the entrance of the alley. When they saw Yuan Mu, they all showed puzzled expressions. It was obvious that they didn't know Yuan Mu.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Aunt Cai, Aunt Wu and Aunt Lu standing in front of the faucet, washing vegetables and chatting, laughing from time to time.

"Hey! You're all chatting!" Yuan Mu walked forward and greeted with a smile.

"Oh! Who is this? Isn't this Xiao Mu?" Mrs. Wu spoke first, still with an exaggerated expression.

"Oh my god, Xiao Mu, how come you have time to come back?"

"Well, I was transferred back, so now I'm back!" Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Oh, you're transferred back? Where are you transferred to? To the train police team?"

"No, he was transferred to the criminal police team." Yuan Mu shook his head.

"Oh my god, this guy Xiao Mu has made it big. He's already a criminal policeman?"

"Okay, Aunt Cai, Aunt Lu, and Aunt Wu, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the house to clean up. I haven't been back for more than a year, and the house must be covered in dust." Yuan Mu waved his hand and walked towards home.

"Xiao Mu! Wait a moment." Aunt Cai called Yuan Mu.

"What's the matter, Aunt Cai? Can you invite me to dinner?" Yuan Mu joked with a smile.

"You kid, if you want to eat, just come to your aunt's house. Well, your old Ma will clean up for you once a month."

"Ah? Lao Ma will help me clean up?" Yuan Mu was stunned.

"Yes, we often see Old Ma, his wife Sufang, and Ma Yan helping you clean your room. Now your room is very clean. You may not know that Old Ma and his family have moved to our yard, to the small second floor of No. 16." Mrs. Wu echoed.

"Really? Then I have to thank them very much." Yuan Mu nodded.

When he met Lao Ma more than a year ago, Lao Ma asked for the key to Yuan Mu's house and made a copy for him, saying that sometimes he came back late and didn't want to disturb his family, so he wanted to sleep at his house occasionally.

Yuan Mu agreed immediately. He didn't expect that Lao Ma had this idea. He wanted to help him clean up the house. Okay, Lao Ma was really thoughtful.

If this house is not cleaned for more than a year, it will be uninhabitable as it will be covered in dust.

Yuan Mu took out the key and opened the door. Just as Aunt Cai and the others said, the house was really clean. It wasn't spotless, but it was almost.
