第100章 人贩子

On the third day, a middle-aged couple boarded the sleeper berth opposite He Caiwei and her group. Although they were a couple, there was a sense of incongruity between them.

For some reason, upon seeing the faces of these two people, He Caiwei instinctively hid Lu Qingyue behind her back.

"I feel like we're being watched." He Caiwei carefully wrote a few words and handed them to Lu Qingzhu.

"It's okay, let's see first. If he dares to make a move, I'll definitely beat him up. Be careful of sleeping pills." Lu Qingzhu also wrote this sentence below the line her sister wrote.

He Caiwei has exceptionally keen senses, and only after hearing Lu Qingzhu's reminder did she finally understand what the strange smell on these two people was.

This is a crudely made drug by country folk, containing the scent of datura flowers, which are difficult to grow.

It seems these two are about to make a move. Either they didn't buy sleeper tickets here, or they have accomplices outside.

"What should we do, Second Brother?" He Caiwei wanted to send Xiao Qingyue into her space, but this person just disappeared without a trace, which would definitely arouse suspicion.

Lu Qingzhu frowned as he looked at the line of text. He was thinking that if possible, he would use himself as bait to catch the human traffickers on the bus, but he was worried about his two younger sisters. He didn't know what to do if they were accidentally hurt.

Just as Lu Qingzhu was struggling with her decision, the man came over and started talking to them.

"Young man, where are you taking your sister?" The uncle had a rather honest-looking face, but the scent of datura flowers on him was too strong.

"Hello, Uncle. My siblings and I are going to Guangcheng. My parents live there, and we were thinking of going to visit them during the school break. Where are you going, Uncle?" Lu Qingzhu prepared to subtly elicit information.

“We, my husband and I, are going to Shenzhen to find our son. Little brother, how old are you? You don’t look that old! How come you’re taking your younger siblings on the train by yourself? If something happens to you, your parents will be devastated.” The middle-aged woman finished speaking and reached up to touch the black hair clip on her head.

This must have been one of their secret signals. Sure enough, the woman touched her black hair clip, and the man immediately changed his tune, asking what their family did and how many people lived in their house.

Lu Qingzhu instructed him to say whatever came to mind, which easily fooled the person; all the names, ages, and other details didn't match up. What kind of nonsense was this guy spouting? If he were to ask again, he would forget everything. Who could remember such rambling?

The two of them went out for a while when the tickets were being checked. As soon as they left, He Caiwei and Lu Qingzhu immediately started discussing something.

The work ID they carried was quite useful. Lu Qingzhu went to the flight attendant's office, showed her work ID, explained the situation, and asked them to keep a special eye on these two people.

It would be best if we could catch them all, but if not, we should catch as many as possible. These human traffickers cannot be tolerated.

Soon, the train police sent people to hide secretly at the door of their compartment, and even some soldiers who were on the train on duty were requisitioned by them.

Not long after the ticket check, the middle-aged woman returned. He Caiwei could still smell a strong datura fragrance on her, indicating that she had used it when she went out, otherwise it wouldn't be so strong.

They probably thought women were easier to communicate with and could lower their guard, so the woman started rambling on and on, chatting with the brother and sister after she came in.

Suddenly, He Caiwei sensed a smell wafting through the air. She quickly grabbed her handkerchief, dabbed at the pungent scent, and sniffed it. Immediately, she felt her mind clear. She then wiped Lu Qingzhu's nose with her handkerchief, which also made Lu Qingzhu more alert. She didn't pay much attention to the little girl.

After all, she was still young and there were some things that she could handle, so He Caiwei decided to let her remain unconscious until things were dealt with, and then wake her up. This would be more convenient, as she could immediately take the little girl back into her space if there were any unexpected situations.

The little girl was truly captivated, collapsing onto the bed in a daze. He Caiwei feigned surprise, muttering to herself, "Why didn't this girl say she wanted to sleep? What if she bumps into something like this?"

He Caiwei kept his eyelids open, even though he wasn't sleepy at all; he was just putting on an act for the middle-aged woman opposite him.

When the middle-aged woman saw He Caiwei's appearance, she thought she had struck gold and decided to linger with them a little longer. If they were discovered, she could simply jump out the window and escape.

"Girl, I see you haven't gone out. Do you want me to get you some water?" He Caiwei glanced at her but didn't say anything. She turned to look at her brother making faces at her, which almost made him burst out laughing.

"No need, Auntie, our water bottles are full. Just be careful when you go out, there are too many people here, be careful not to bump into anything." The three siblings are naturally good-looking and attract attention, so it's quite normal for human traffickers to have their eyes on them.

After the old woman left, the smell in the empty room became even stronger. At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside. He looked at the two people lying flat on the ground, looking unsteady, and then sniffed the air and knew that something was wrong.

"How are you three? Do you need any help? I have some warm water here, don't worry. The old woman went out to get water and then ran to another place. Of course, those human traffickers can't let the three siblings in this private room go either, so they sprinkled some sleeping pills around the room to make sure they are both safe."

Bin was a little worried, seeing that the three siblings looked somewhat unsteady.

"Big brother, we don't need to help. You guys be careful. They smell of gunpowder on them. I don't know if it's from guns or bullets." Actually, He Caiwei meant to say bullets. After all, who would carry a bomb in their pocket? That would be stupid. If they weren't careful, there wouldn't even be any bone fragments left.

Brother Bin probably guessed this as well, so he waited until he was sure that all three of them were unharmed before going out and reporting to the captain what the little girl had discovered.

The captain suddenly realized how difficult their job was. There were too many people on the train, and if a fight broke out on the train, it could easily injure innocent people.
