Railroad Mystery

Postscript Three months later, Beijing West Railway Station. The office of the "Railway Guardian" special operations team is located on the third floor of the station's public security office. It is a small room with national railway maps and timelines of several major cases hanging on the wall. The platform is right outside the window, and you can see trains coming in and out, and the sound of whistles can be heard from time to time. Tang Yan was sitting at his desk, looking at a case file. Her injury has healed, leaving only a shallow scar on her back. Li Xu sat across from him, holding a newly purchased pager in his hand - at the end of 2001, mobile phones began to become popular, but pagers were still in use. "There is a case." Tang Yan raised his head, "The Guangzhou Railway Police reported that a series of thefts occurred on the K325 train from Shenzhen to Beijing. The thefts were all foreign businessmen. It is suspected that the crime was committed by a gang and there may be an insider." "When do you leave?" "Tonight, T107, Beijing to Shenzhen. We pretend to be foreign businessmen and lure the snake out of its hole." "Okay, I'll get ready." Li Xu stood up and walked to the window. On the platform, a brand-new "Harmony" EMU is entering the station, its streamlined front end shining in the sun. "What are you looking at?" Tang Yan walked to him. "Look at the trains." Li Xu said, "The railways are changing, the trains are changing, but some things will not change." "For example?" "Like crime, like justice, like us." Li Xu turned to look at her and smiled. Tang Yan also smiled and held his arm: "Yes, like us." Outside the window, another train pulled out of the platform, its whistle sounded, and it rushed into the distance. And their new journey has begun again. The railroad tracks are endless and life is long. But fortunately, we have each other by our side. Forever. (Complete book)
