Chapter 1118 Emergency Response

After listening to Captain Xiong's words, Chu Xue frowned and said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out, but the entire train has already been checked."

Suddenly she stopped talking: "No, we really didn't check under the train."

She did indeed miss that; the train was in motion at the time.

Safety checks are conducted before trains depart, but the stops at stations only last a few minutes, leaving little time for any action, so everyone overlooks this.

It's likely that everyone thinks that while the car is moving, no one would dare to risk doing something under it.

Captain Xiong looked at Chu Xue: "Have you thought of a solution?"

Chu Xue pondered for a moment: "Could we communicate with the railway dispatcher? If we can get the train driver to speed up first, we can leave about ten minutes before entering the next station and let the train make a temporary stop. With the staff you have now, that should be enough to conduct a thorough inspection of the train."

Captain Xiong also felt that this was the safest method at the moment. He was afraid that they had arranged personnel at the previous stations. If they really tampered with the undercarriage of the train, and then arranged for someone to carry out a precise sabotage, the consequences would be unimaginable: "Comrade Xiao, I have a favor to ask."

Before he could speak, Chu Xue understood what he wanted to say and nodded directly at him, asking, "How much longer until the next stop?"

Captain Xiong glanced at his watch: "Thirty-five minutes left."

Chu Xue looked at Mi Aijun, who was not far ahead: "You go and contact the dispatcher first, then go ahead and communicate with the driver. Mi Ge and I will check the back first, and then meet up with you at the front in a while."

Captain Xiong was surprised by Chu Xue's thoughtfulness: "Comrade Xiao, thank you. Don't worry, once this is over, I will definitely recommend you for commendation by the higher authorities."

Upon hearing about the commendation, Chu Xue couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. Both of her business trips had resulted in incidents on trains. She wondered if she was the one who caused the accidents, or if the train was her playground for reaping the credit. Soon, the three parted ways. Captain Xiong went to find the train conductor and instructed him to immediately contact the railway dispatcher to explain the situation and to contact the duty officers at both ends of the station to ensure the safety of the train's temporary stop before entering Zhuzhou Station.

Afterwards, Captain Xiong immediately went to arrange for the train to make a temporary stop before entering Zhuzhou Station to conduct a comprehensive safety inspection of the undercarriage.

Fortunately, there were reinforcements at Changsha Station, so we had enough manpower.

While Mi Aijun accompanied Chu Xue to inspect the carriages, Captain Xiong also made arrangements for personnel to ensure that as soon as the train stopped, each carriage would have a dedicated person to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the undercarriage for potential hazards.

After walking through three carriages, Chu Xue and Mi Aijun clearly felt the train begin to accelerate.

Thanks to Captain Xiong's alertness, Chu Xue looked quite unwell after this trip. As before, she couldn't directly say which carriage had something hidden at the bottom. After inspecting all the carriages, she said, "Captain Xiong, when I passed through carriages 12 and 9, I smelled a faint smell of sulfur and ammonium nitrate. I'm afraid there really is something strange under the carriages."

Captain Xiong did not doubt Chu Xue's words. It was inevitable that the wind outside would seep in through the connecting parts of the carriages. Her sense of smell was extraordinary, so it was very possible that she could smell a faint odor.

He glanced quickly at his watch: "Comrade Xiao, I've already arranged the manpower. The train will make an emergency stop in six minutes."

Chu Xue was surprised by their helpfulness: "Okay, I'll get off after the train stops."

These six minutes were an unusually agonizing experience for everyone standing there.
