Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Master Hong, I just ran into Xiao Li. He heard there's a gang of thieves around here, so I came over to learn from them." Chang Kun was very modest, saying that he was learning from his senior as a railway police officer.

"Haha, let's learn from each other!" Red Soldier patted Chang Kun on the arm, having a better impression of the young man.

The old woman who had wanted to change seats earlier saw Chang Kun coming over and was chatting enthusiastically with the train police officer when she started cursing.

"I lost my money, and instead of catching the thief, you police officers are chatting idly!"

"Where's your boss?! Call him here!!"

The train police officer standing nearby looked embarrassed and advised, "Auntie, this is our leader. Please stop calling him, or you'll scare the thieves away!"

As the captain of the train police squad, Hong Sanbing was mainly responsible for security on the train. He looked a little unhappy when he heard the old woman nagging.

"Qian Shitou, take the people involved in the missing money aside. Don't obstruct the investigation!"

Qian Shitou pulled the old woman towards another carriage: "Second Aunt, don't cause trouble here. If the thief gets away, the money will really be gone."

The old woman, being pulled along, continued to mutter, "Little Stone, don't pull me! He's just a minor leader, what's with all the swagger! If he can't find my money later, I'll demand compensation from your boss!"

Qian Shitou smiled bitterly. This second aunt was really afraid that the leader would make things difficult for him.

The carriage finally quieted down, and the other passengers watched with bated breath as the train police caught the thief.

People who are away from home generally don't hate thieves.

Especially in this day and age, if someone is away from home and their belongings are stolen, it can almost cost them their life. For some families in financial difficulty, it could even lead to the entire family going hungry.

Faced with the eager gazes of the passengers, Hong Sanbing mustered his spirits and began to investigate, feeling uneasy. After all, he had encountered many theft cases, but in the end, he had only caught a handful of thieves.

But at this moment, Chang Kun's arrival was like a shot in the arm for him.

"Chang Kun, you arrange how to conduct the investigation?" Hong Sanbing didn't act like a senior and took the initiative to step down.

The surrounding passengers were stunned. This veteran train police officer seemed quite experienced, so how could they let this young guy who had just arrived give orders?

Especially since this young man wasn't even wearing a police uniform, it was obvious that he was just like any other passenger.

Does he have some special ability?

Chang Kun did not refuse.

In those days, the police force hadn't yet developed a culture of seniority and report writing; anyone who could catch criminals was considered a good police officer.

"Master Hong, then I won't stand on ceremony."

He frowned as he sensed the thief's location.

This is a bit tricky. This group of thieves is very experienced. There are eight thieves in total, spread out in four adjacent carriages.

This way, even if someone is caught, thieves in other carriages can sense the danger and flee, preventing them from being caught in one fell swoop.

After quickly considering a plan, Chang Kun pulled Hong Sanbing aside and said in a low voice, "Master Hong, when I came over just now, I noticed that this group of thieves was not in one place, but scattered in several carriages."

Red Soldier frowned: "How many did you spot?"

"At least four locations, two people at each location."

The situation is urgent; the train could stop at any moment. Chang Kun immediately relayed the information he had sensed: "We don't have enough manpower. If we force our way in, these thieves might escape."

Hong Sanbing nodded. Having worked on the railway for so many years, he knew how difficult it was to deal with such organized crimes.

Once you alert them, these thieves will either disappear into the crowd or jump off the vehicle, making them difficult to catch.

"What ideas do you have?"

Chang Kun pondered for a moment, then glanced around the carriage and his gaze fell on the passengers whose belongings had been stolen.

"We need to get everyone together first." He lowered his voice. "Master Hong, you and Xiao Li, plus two other colleagues, that's four people in total. Call all the train attendants in the carriage, quietly, without alerting anyone."

Hong Sanbing's eyes lit up; he understood what Chang Kun meant.

Although the train attendants haven't received specialized arrest training, they are still our own people on the railway, so they can help keep an eye on someone or block a door.

He winked at Xiao Li, who understood, beckoned to Qian Shitou, and turned to walk towards the cabin.

After gathering everyone together, Hong Sanbing briefly explained the situation, and everyone huddled together to listen to Chang Kun's instructions.

"The two thieves in carriage number seven are the most obvious, they're near the aisle."

"The two in number eight are close to the train door, we need to keep a close eye on them!" Chang Kun gestured on the ground to indicate the locations of the pickpockets in each carriage.

"Number nine is a bit further inside, but there's a toilet next to it. If someone runs in and closes the door, that would be a real problem."

"The two in carriage number ten, one always squeezes into the crowd, the other is dozing by the window, like he's keeping watch."

"Master Hong, let's see how to assign tasks?" Chang Kun simply explained the situation and did not overstep his bounds by actually assigning tasks.

Red Soldier San nodded approvingly: "How about this, I'll allocate carriages seven, eight, and nine, and you can give carriage ten to Chang Kun, okay?"

Chang Kun had previously helped catch thieves and human traffickers, and the Red Army soldiers had a very deep impression of him, remembering that he was quite skilled.

Chang Kun had just nodded in agreement when Qian Shitou spoke up: "Comrade Chang Kun, please allow me to accompany you!"

He looked earnest, as if he wanted to apologize for the earlier seat-changing incident.

Chang Kun was perfectly fine with it; he had originally planned to find a flight attendant to assist him anyway.

"Alright! Comrades, count to 60 in your minds, then move out immediately!" The Red Guard clapped his hands, looked around, and added with a touch of worry, "Remember, safety is paramount!"

The four train police officers discussed their specific tasks and each led one or two train attendants to the target carriage.

Chang Kun didn't rush to leave. He leaned against the chain connection between the carriages, closed his eyes, and activated all the system sensors.

The two thieves in carriage number eight were still in their seats. One was dozing off in his seat, but his hand was quietly reaching into the bag of the passenger next to him.

The two thieves in carriage number ten were quite well-behaved; the one who was dozing off was still dozing off, while the one who was squeezing into the crowd was talking to someone, as if asking for directions, but his eyes were looking around everywhere.

The thieves in carriages seven and nine didn't touch anything.

Chang Kun opened his eyes, feeling reassured.

He was about to walk towards carriage number ten when he suddenly sensed that the thief who was dozing off in carriage number ten had moved.

It wasn't an ordinary movement; the man suddenly opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and looked directly in Chang Kun's direction.

Chang Kun's heart skipped a beat.

broken!

That thief had such sharp eyes that he could see right at me from half a carriage away.

No, he wasn't looking at himself, but at what was behind him.

Chang Kun turned around and met the gaze of the old woman who had lost her money.

The old woman had sneaked over sometime earlier and was peering through the connecting area between the carriages, muttering, "Stone, you have to help me get my money back. Everyone says the police catch thieves right away!"

Chang Kun wanted to stop him, but it was too late!

The thief whispered something to his accomplice, and the two of them got up at the same time. One of them squeezed into the crowd, while the other darted toward the car door!
