Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 307 You don’t understand, this is a violation of the rules!

Wu Liuzhi had already boarded the rail car when he spoke.

Yelling, "Drive!"

"Drive quickly!"

The driver immediately pushed the accelerator lever.

The rail car slowly moved forward.

Cheng San pushed me hard.

He said anxiously: "Hurry up and get in the car!"

Wu Liuzhi stood in the car door and stretched out his hand to me: "Run a few steps! Pull you up!"

I ran towards the car door.

Fortunately, the rail car had just started and was not moving very fast.

When I was more than one meter away from the car door, I jumped up with all my strength.

His right hand grabbed Wu Liuzhi's hand in mid-air.

He yanked me inside the car.

Bang!

The car door was slammed shut.

I glanced at the control panel and saw that the driver was pushing the accelerator lever all the way down.

The engine roared violently.

As the train sped up, the clanging sound of the wheels rolling over the rail joints became more and more frequent.

The scenery outside the window quickly receded.

The staff in railway uniforms, the middle-aged woman selling food from a cart, the passengers who had just checked their tickets and entered the station... all flashed past me.

Only when the last section of the platform disappeared from my sight did I lean against the window to catch my breath.

Is this considered an escape?

Turn your head and look back towards the platform.

I didn't see any people wearing wide-brimmed hats flooding onto the platform.

Snapped!

Wu Liuzhi slapped me hard on the shoulder.

He raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Don't worry, with the help of my fellow gang members, it won't be a problem to delay it for 20 to 30 minutes."

"By the time the guy with the wide-brimmed hat got into the freight terminal and onto the platform, we'd already arrived."

It only takes 20 to 30 minutes to get there?

Then forget about the province.

It’s even difficult to get out of the provincial capital.

Before I could ask where the rail car was going, Wu Liuzhi continued talking.

"Once we get on the car, it's like Monkey King returning to the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain."

"Even if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals came, they couldn't do anything to us."

What he said was really a bit exaggerated.

Escaping the freight station is only the first step.

The key is how to avoid being tracked down no matter how you change trains later.

"Is it true that they won't be caught by the wide-brimmed hat?"

"Tsk!" Wu Liuzhi sneered.

"According to the dispatcher's instructions, this railcar should have passed through the station directly via the second track without stopping."

Friends who often take the train may know that there are multiple railway lines in the train station.

The tracks close to the platform are used for up and down trains to stop, and the tracks not close to the platform are used for cross-station trains to pass.

This rail car, which was supposed to pass through the station, changed its route into the station under Cheng San's order and stopped briefly on the platform.

The most amazing thing is that so many staff members on the platform turned a blind eye!

"Does Cheng San have that much power?"

"Let the train that is supposed to cross the station stop on the platform?" I was surprised.

I originally thought Cheng San was just the head of the freight loader. He might have some power, but definitely not that big.

But what Wu Liuzhi said showed that Cheng San's power was beyond imagination.

"You do not understand."

“It doesn’t take much energy.”

"He's a man who makes his living from the railway and has a firm grasp of the times of passing trains."

"There are no cars coming into the station at this time."

"And it just so happens that a rail car on this section of the line is about to pass through."

"The most coincidental thing is that the railcar driver is the younger brother of Cheng San's brother."

"Put these together, and for the rest, just say hello to the brother who switches the tracks."

"Hey, just flip the switch."

"The car that should have gone straight into lane 2 drove into lane 1 and stopped!"

At that time, the Longhai Line had not yet been electrified.

Switching the switches depends entirely on people.

This provides room for maneuver.

I still felt a little unsure: "But the station staff saw it, they..."

"Cheng San has fed them well, so no one will gossip about them."

"Besides, they are all thieves who rely on the railway for their livelihood. Few of them have clean butts."

"As long as they don't catch the person red-handed, the guy in the wide-brimmed hat won't be able to get anything out of them!"

"And there's no record of the train stopping at any station in the train information. They'll have no idea how we managed to get there..."

Now I understand.

Cheng San did not take the upper-class route.

Instead, it brings the grassroots staff together.

As long as you grasp the timing and opportunity well, you can hide the truth from the world.

"It seems that this time it's all thanks to you."

I took out a cigarette and handed it to Wu Liuzhi, then took out a match to help him light it.

Wu Liuzhi said proudly, "It's a small matter."

"We'll get to Xinfeng Town later, where there are freight trains being assembled."

"When the time comes, we can load the stuff onto the truck and then we can fly freely!"

Freight trains are freight trains on the railway.

Freight trains are usually marshaled or unmarshaled at marshaling yards before departure and after arrival.

This is because different carriages are needed to transport different goods.

Each time, the carriages will be rearranged to form a new freight train according to the goods being transported.

"By the way, I haven't asked you where you're going yet?"

"Tell the brother who will pick you up later and ask him to arrange a suitable car."

"If you can't get there directly, just get on a random bus and go first. We'll find a way to arrange a different bus along the way."

"But the cost...must be paid first."

Wu Liuzhi rubbed it vigorously with his thumb and index finger.

It implies that the cost will not be small.

I whispered, "How much does it cost to go to Lingnan?"

"Oh, what a coincidence, I was going there too."

My heart skipped a beat.

What a coincidence?

Or maybe he... has other ideas.

Wu Liuzhi said casually, "My men got a big ticket, and it's very hot."

"I'm thinking of going somewhere far away to ship goods and avoid the limelight. I'm thinking of going to Lingnan to broaden my horizons."

"If there's a suitable car, we can just look after each other on the road."

I asked curiously, "What did you guys do?"

Wu Liuzhi's face darkened. "Hey, do you understand the rules?"

"I didn't even ask what you did."

"We're on the same path, but after we separate, let's just pretend we've never met!"

Not asking around is an unwritten rule in the underworld.

This is to reduce risk.

I then asked about the expenses.

Wu Liuzhi raised a finger: "You brought so many things, it must cost this much."

"One thousand?" I asked tentatively.

"It's one thousand. Don't think it's too expensive. This is still considering Cheng San's appearance."

I nodded and remained silent.

Wu Liuzhi stopped showing off and instead smoked one cigarette after another.

You can see that he is not at peace either.

No one can give a definite answer as to whether the wide-brimmed hat will find clues.

More than half an hour later.

The railcar slowed down.

Xinfeng Town Station is in sight.

Freight train marshaling operations are underway on the freight lines within the station.

At that time, the railway line was a mixed passenger and freight line.

Later, passenger-only lines and freight-only lines gradually emerged, separating passenger and freight traffic.

In the mixed-line era, stations were generally built with two platforms and seven lines.

Two platforms refer to platform one and platform two, and seven lines refer to the seven railway tracks in the station.

Usually, passenger lines are tracks one, two, three, and four, while freight lines are tracks five, six, and seven.

squeak!

Brakes sounded.

The railcar is parked on track six.

On the left and right sides of the No. 5 and No. 7 tracks, there was a train of freight trains being assembled, which just blocked our view.

I was about to look outside when the car door was pushed open with a bang.

The people outside the car stared at me: "Six Fingers, you brought a stranger here?"

"That's a bad rule!"
