127: Chapter 127 Set Off 127: Chapter 127 Set Off Facing Sun Jinzhong’s question, Chen Hai smiled without saying a word.
Under the effect of the Corpse Transformation Talisman, Hei’s corpse visibly turned into Black Water at a rate visible to the naked eye and seeped into the ground.
Only when some clothes were left did he look at Sun Jinzhong and say, “These clothes, we need to find a place to burn them with fire!”
“And, that Wang Ba Box of yours also needs to be dealt with.
You can’t keep it any longer!”
“Those two guys, they were already criminals evading the law due to fear of their crimes.
In Shangzhuang Town, they were strangers in a strange land.
Their disappearance won’t be pursued by anyone at all!”
“After handling what needs to be handled, the two of them won’t implicate us in the slightest!”
“Of course, just to be safe, I think that, after getting the money, it’s best for you to leave Liuyuan County and go to Yuedong to find a job, stay there for a few years!”
After advising Sun Jinzhong of all that he could think of, Chen Hai finally stopped talking.
“Okay!” Sun Jinzhong nodded.
Having the chance to live the high life outside, he naturally had no interest in going inside to spend several years in Bitter Kiln.
After Chen Hai finished speaking, Sun Jinzhong nodded in agreement, and the two got busily to work.
The Wang Ba Box, now out of bullets, along with the daggers and short blades of Hei and Wu, were thrown into a river by them.
And those clothes and IDs were likewise burned to ashes by the river.
Completing all this didn’t take them much time.
Back to Shangzhuang Town, the inn they were staying at, they used the keys left by Wu and Hei to enter their room and found the money the two had lost, which was also very smooth.
From the money obtained from Director Tao at Liuyuan No.1 Middle School, Hei and Wu had spent some.
Back in their own room, Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong counted carefully.
The amount they recovered was roughly 11,300 yuan.
Considering that Sun Jinzhong had contributed a lot for this money and had personally killed Hei, bearing the weight of a human life,
Chen Hai only took 7,000 yuan, and the remaining 4,000 were given entirely to Sun Jinzhong.
In Shangzhuang Town, there was already a direct bus to Liuyuan County.
After resting in the inn for one night, the next day, around 11 a.m., Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong had already returned to Liuyuan County.
When Chen Hai went to Shangzhuang Town, he had gone empty-handed.
His luggage was still in the hotel room near the bus station in Liuyuan County.
Of course, having occupied someone else’s room for one night, in terms of money, Chen Hai had naturally paid in full.
Inside the county, there was no train station.
To go to Capital City for school, Chen Hai had to go to Wuling City to catch a train.
He originally planned to go to the train station alone, but Sun Jinzhong insisted on accompanying Chen Hai.
According to him, after reaching the Wuling City train station, Chen Hai would go to Capital City, while he would follow Chen Hai’s advice and go straight by train to Yuedong.
In the hotel, after waiting for more than an hour,
Sun Jinzhong, who had returned to Yanbei Village to inform his parents of his plans to go to Yuedong, then appeared in front of Chen Hai carrying a woven bag.
When both of them arrived at the Wuling City train station, it was already past three in the afternoon.
In these times, train stations were always the most chaotic places in each city, with the highest rate of crime incidents.
“Cousin, I know a few guys who specifically target bags at the train station!”
“Just the other day, one of them snagged a bag and found several thousand yuan inside, which was quite a little windfall for him.”
“After returning to the county, he even treated me and a bunch of the guys to a feast!”
After buying their train tickets, the two cousins had just found a place to sit in the waiting hall.
Not far away, there were several shifty-looking characters who were clearly eyeing people’s pockets, catching their attention.
After seeing this, Sun Jinzhong leaned over to Chen Hai and whispered, “Those guys are really deft, and if you’re not careful for even a moment, the luggage at your feet will be gone without a trace.”
“Be cautious on the journey as well; it wasn’t easy for us to recover our money, and we must be careful not to run into any more trouble.”
Those peering into others’ pockets were mostly pickpockets.
It was the ones wandering around the waiting hall with shifty eyes and glancing around who could be professionals at snatching bags.
Just seven or eight meters from Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong.
A tall woman, while talking to her companion, had her luggage box lifted away by a young man with a sharp face and monkey-like features.
By the time the tall woman realized what had happened, the young man had already disappeared into the crowd.
In fact, Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong could even clearly see that after the young man succeeded, several others emerged to cover for him, deliberately obstructing the tall woman’s view.
Generally speaking, at a place rich with targets like a train station, the pickpockets and bag snatchers tended to operate in groups.
Sometimes, they would even fight amongst themselves over the territory.
Watching someone else’s luggage being smoothly taken didn’t prompt Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong to interfere.
Meddling in a thief’s business was akin to crossing a person seeking revenge.
The train station had its own police station, and the officers there couldn’t possibly be unaware of what was happening at the station.
If even they turned a blind eye, what reason did Chen Hai have to play the good citizen and deal with such a thankless task?
“The train from Yang City to Capital City has arrived.
Passengers, please check your tickets and prepare to board…” The most update n0vels are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
After waiting for more than an hour, the loudspeaker in the waiting hall finally announced the arrival of Chen Hai’s train.
Sun Jinzhong, who was heading to Yuedong, had boarded his train and left half an hour earlier.
Wuling City train station was just a small stop; Chen Hai’s train would only be at the station for ten minutes.
Carrying his large and small bags, he quickly got up and squeezed into the crowd near the ticket check.
“Brother, I’m a poor student heading to university in Capital City.
There’s barely a dime in my pocket, wouldn’t your heart ache to pick it?”
He had just squeezed into the crowd when Chen Hai felt something was off.
He clutched his pocket and glared fiercely at a guy nearby who looked unsophisticated, admonishing him.
The more crowded the place, the more the pickpockets liked to move in, cheekily calling it ‘snatching food from the mouth’.
The strength of Divine Soul, though unable to grant Chen Hai the courage to defeat all foes, made his senses sharp and his reaction speed beyond that of an ordinary person.
The moment that oblivious character’s fingers neared his pocket, he had already noticed.
The pickpocket had intended to retort with some tough words, but Chen Hai’s sharp gaze inexplicably made him panic.
With an embarrassed face, he mumbled a few words and turned to disappear into the crowd.
