The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Only then did the salesperson understand. He looked her over and said, "There are not many people buying that one, so it's not here. If you are sure you want it, I'll find it for you." After that, he added, "That one is precious."

Compared to the previous salesperson, this one has a better attitude.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, comrade, please help me look for it."

The salesperson nodded and asked his companion to keep an eye on it. He went out and came back about half an hour later. He took a few boxes and said to Zhu Xiaomin, "Is this it?"

Zhu Xiaomin saw a layer of dust falling on the box and reached out to wipe it off. Then he opened the box and saw a blue pen. The pen shape was clearly printed on the gold clip of the pen cap. He immediately nodded: "Yes, that's it." ." He unscrewed it and used his fingers to test the smoothness of the pen tip, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the one."

The salesperson was curious: "You didn't ask how much it cost."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "How much?"

The salesperson was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile and said, "Five three dollars." He took the ticket and looked at her.

Fountain pens these days only cost one or two yuan, and even good brands cost less than three yuan. Five three yuan is really expensive.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I want one."

Seeing that she really bought it, the salesperson quickly issued a ticket to her. She wiped the other boxes in her hand and put them on the counter. The one Zhu Xiaomin picked was put aside.

Zhu Xiaomin went to the cashier to pay the money, came back to get the pen, and wiped the box with her hands several times before putting it in her bag.

Seeing the happy look on her face, the salesperson couldn't help but ask: "Comrade, this is for drawing. Did you buy it for your own use?"

It doesn't look like she is dressed like this.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled at her and said, "I bought it for my man." After he was satisfied with the gift, he stopped shopping and walked out.

The salesperson looked at her back and was speechless.

Either men are very earning, or women are too spendthrift.

The so-called road for a poor family to get rich. Zhu Xiaomin brought a hundred yuan with her when she came out this time. She had about thirty yuan for food and accommodation on the way. She originally planned to leave fifty yuan for her family, but when she went back, she was no longer willing to take out the money. , now they have been replaced by gifts brought back, and my mood suddenly improved.

Meeting Lu Minghui by chance brought back too many past events that she didn't want to remember. The next day, Zhu Xiaomin stopped going far and only found some provincial and city-specific food nearby to satisfy her appetite. In the evening, she went straight to the train station. .

This time, the train lasted nine and a half hours, from around 10pm to nearly 8am the next morning. After dinner and getting on the train, there was no need to prepare dry food at all. Zhu Xiaomin only brought some snacks.

Compared with Hedong City Railway Station, the waiting hall of the Provincial City Railway Station is larger and has more chairs. Zhu Xiaomin came here an hour early, just as the previous train had just left, and some chairs were vacant far away from the ticket gate. sit down.

Time passed by, and there were still more than ten minutes before the ticket check-in time for his train. Zhu Xiaomin was paying attention to calling people. Suddenly, he saw a chaos at the ticket gate, followed by a woman's wailing cry: " I'm not, this is my child, my child, let me go, what are you doing..."

Zhu Xiaomin turned around and saw the chaotic crowd moving this way from the ticket gate. The women's wails were accompanied by the sounds of men shouting.

What happened?

When Zhu Xiaomin saw the group of people moving towards her noisily, she turned around to look at the environment and wanted to get out of the way.

It’s just that the chairs at the train station are lined up in a long row, separating several ticket gates. If you want to avoid it, you can only walk in the opposite direction of the crowd.

At this time, there were more people in the train station. Zhu Xiaomin had just taken a few steps, and the group of people had already squeezed in and passed her noisily.

This time, Zhu Xiaomin saw clearly that it was two tall and thick men dragging a woman, and several other people were blocking the sides. One of them was holding a child of about one year old.

At this glance, Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help but say "Eh".

She didn't see the child's face, but the child's clothes looked very familiar.

At this time, the woman also saw her and suddenly screamed: "She, she knows me. If you don't believe me, ask her. This is really my child."

Zhu Xiaomin lowered his head and saw the woman he had met before at the Hedong City Guest House, and his eyes widened immediately.

What a coincidence. Yesterday I met one of the female cadres, and today I met this woman again.

But then she thought about it and realized that the guest house was originally next to the station. Most of the guests staying there were there to catch the train. Unexpectedly, those few people and she had arrived in the provincial capital.

Hearing the woman shouting, several men also looked towards Zhu Xiaomin. One of them came over to salute and asked, "Excuse me, do you know this sister-in-law?"

Zhu Xiaomin immediately shook his head: "I don't know."

The woman immediately screamed: "I know you. We stayed in the guest house together a few days ago. You even helped me take care of the child."

Hearing her talk about children, the man's eyes suddenly darkened and he said to Zhu Xiaomin: "Comrade, please come with us."

Zhu Xiaomin felt thunder rolling from the sky, shook her head and said: "Comrade, I did see this woman. She was at the Hedong Station Guesthouse three days ago. We stayed in the same room. When I had to catch the train the next day, she insisted on She asked me to look after the child for her, but I didn't agree, but she ran away while I was packing her things, and I went out to find the manager of the guest house and left. Doesn't that count as knowing her?"

"Since you have seen it, you should cooperate with our investigation." The man did not waver and took out his work permit from his pocket. "We are from the Provincial Public Security Department and are cracking down on a criminal gang that abducts children."

Child trafficking?

Zhu Xiaomin immediately opened her eyes wide, glanced at the child held by another person, and nodded: "Okay." Without them saying another word, they walked out together.

In such a case, in addition to confirming whether the woman is a human trafficker, we also need to find the child's family. She has met the woman before and can indeed give clues.

Seeing her cooperation, several plainclothes officers were also very polite. There was a group of police cars parked outside the station. They handcuffed the woman and pushed her onto a police three-wheel motorcycle, but asked her to get on a 212.

The police car drove all the way through the gate of the Provincial Public Security Department, and the woman was taken to the interrogation room. However, Zhu Xiaomin invited her into the reception room. Two police officers sat opposite and asked for their identities first.

Zhu Xiaomin took out the letter of introduction and gave it to him, explained her identity, and told him what happened when she met the woman.

After taking notes, the police officer in charge of questioning asked again: "You said you came to the provincial capital that day? I don't know why you came? Do you have any evidence?"

Zhu Xiaomin took out the train ticket from her pocket and gave it to him: "I really had to catch the train at that time, but I didn't agree to help her take care of the child. Another reason was that I thought it was troublesome, so I didn't think much about it at the time."
