The older sister had not expected Xiaofeng to realize she was a man in drag; she had committed several crimes appearing as a woman and no one had ever discovered it—she didn’t expect this younger sister to find out so quickly.
With Xiaofeng pulling off the wig, the man, of course, had no face to stay any longer and turned to slip away.
Xiaofeng certainly wasn’t going to let him get away that easily, reaching out to grab him, she caught hold of his clothes, "What, you’re going to run away now that I’ve exposed you?"
"Unreasonable, you have no proof that I am a trafficker. You’re hitting back at someone who’s trying to help you, you must be sick." He had thought she would be an easy target, but it turns out she was formidable.
The man tried to push Xiaofeng away.
A train conductor stepped in and restrained him, "Stay calm, we’ll find out soon enough, move along."
Indeed, there had been a gang stealing children on several train journeys, but due to the well-divided labor in their crimes, they had not found any leads.
"Comrade, I really am a good person. As for wearing a wig, it’s just for convenience when traveling." The man began to defend himself.
"If you have something to say, you can explain it clearly in the interrogation room later." The train conductor had finally found a clue about the child traffickers and naturally wanted to interrogate them thoroughly.
As the man was being led away, he glared fiercely at Xiaofeng, as if to say, "You just wait; once I get back, I’ll make sure you’re dead."
"Comrade." Xiaofeng called to one of the conductors, "I think there’s something wrong with their luggage too, you’d better check it out."
The man’s face turned white. This damn woman.
"I recognize them." A woman suddenly rushed over, "A year ago, they stole my child. I’ve been riding this train for over a year, hoping to encounter them, and I didn’t expect to actually do so. Comrade, they specifically target women with children on the train, my child was taken away by them."
It was in the middle of the night, she was sleepily unaware when a knife suddenly appeared before her, before she could react, her mouth was covered, and then she passed out.
When she awoke, her child was gone. Reporting to the police was useless because she couldn’t provide any useful information.
The man from that time, he looked just .
The conductor certainly recognized this woman, who was convinced that the gang who stole her child would appear again, so for the past year, she worked on the train as a cleaner.
In the process, she had also helped solve a few petty theft cases.
"Tell me, where did you sell my son, tell me, I’m asking you!" the woman grabbed the clothes of the man who had been disguised as a woman, demanding answers.
Having lost her son, she dared not go home. For more than a year, she had been working as a cleaner on the train, hoping to one day find the culprits and bring them to justice.
"You must have mistaken me for someone else." The man in drag did not expect to be recognized on this train.
A year ago, he had committed the crimes directly, but in the span of a year, he had changed his tactics and was no longer directly involved.
It just hadn’t occurred to him that his wig would be pulled off in the process.
"It was you, I will never forget, even unto death. That night, you came to my bed with a knife, then used an anesthetic to knock me out and took away my baby, it was you." The woman was not much older, probably just over twenty, not much different in age from Xiaofeng.
Her face showed signs of hardship; it was clear that she had had a rough time over the past year.
"Take him away." The conductor trusted what the woman had said.
All of a sudden, the man in drag pulled a knife from his bosom and lunged at the woman, but Xiaofeng was quick and landed a kick to his stomach.
With a thud, the man in drag was sent flying, crashing into the metal siding of the train.
The conductor quickly subdued him.
Attempting to attack in front of everyone was enough to get him taken into custody.
The cleaner hurried after them, thinking of something, she bowed to Xiaofeng, "Young lady, thank you for your keen eye. If you hadn’t noticed him in disguise, I could work on this train for ten years and never find him, thank you."
"No need to thank me, I did it for my own children as well, they got what they deserved."
"Thank you," said the cleaner before she followed the conductor. She needed to quickly find out where her son was.
Xiaofeng watched them leave, then turned to look at the two babies sitting on the small bed, kissing each one, "Look at the trouble mom goes through when stepping out, gotta watch out for bad people trying to take you away."
