Chapter 28 Chapter 28

The most uncomfortable "Summer Moon" came to Room No. 9 as scheduled, looked at the smoky light yellow sky through the barbed wire outside, and there was a kind of despairing depression and suspicious silence.Suddenly there was a gust of dry and hot wind, and the withered leaves that came from nowhere floated slowly across the barbed wire fence, and in the instant they were about to fall, they rose up quickly, rolled through the meshes of the mesh, and disappeared in the room of No. 9. in view. The outside is empty, and everyone is escaping the heat inside.Xiao Ru narrowed her eyes, watching the dead leaf leave, but her mind could not be settled.Time is running out, there is only one more month left, and Wang Gou will come back on October 1st. At that time, everything will be gone with the wind, like that dead leaf, without a trace.In this tight time, Xiaoru had to solve two major problems: 1. The truth about Director Min's murder.If the boss is a safe, then Xiao Ru and Jiu Ye are thieves. Now, a corner of the safe was opened and some things were taken out, but the most important thing was not found.The most important thing must be there, and it is in the safe, but it is very difficult to take out, and you can only take out a little bit at a time, and every time you take out a little bit, you have to pay a huge price.2. The passage to escape from Room 9 must be opened.It is not wisdom that opens the channel, but opportunity.Of course, opportunity is also like that dead leaf. When it comes, you may not be prepared in your heart.

One trouser leg appeared at the end of the barbed wire, and then another trouser leg, wrinkled like a rag, without a sock inside, one rolled up, the other unrolled.Xiaoru can call out its owner without looking up: "Instructor." "Why don't you take a nap?" The instructor squatted on the top of the wall, the black face was folded on his knees, and the mouth on his knees asked Xiaoru: "Do you smell anything?" Xiao Ru sniffed vigorously and shook her head. "Shit smell." A voice said from Xiaoru's back.No matter how hot the weather is, Master Jiu must wear long-sleeved shirts, trousers and socks when he wakes up, and today is no exception.Master Jiu cut his hands behind his back, took a step forward, stood side by side with Xiaoru and said:

"Old excrement has solidified into a solid skin. After being exposed to the sun, it will emit the smell of a urine bucket. This smell is like a lazy man taking off his poor-quality leather shoes that have not been worn for a long time, or like a passer-by passing through a city's garbage dump." "Okay, okay, your mouth is like a rooster's butt, and you will never be able to get your eggs out." The instructor said, "If you come out, we can discuss it." The instructor did not lock Xiao Ru into the interrogation room, but led her to the meeting room.The instructor turned on the electric fan, and a gust of hot air was stirred and rotated, not only did not feel cool, but made the air turbid.The little bird that was mopping the floor made a cup of tea for Xiaoru. The instructor waved the little bird out, tapped some emotion on the conference table with his long nails, and said:

"I know you have urine in your baby's stomach, and I looked down on you before. Let me tell you about the stinky shit, and see what you can do to cure it." The detention center was first built in the early 1980s. At that time, there were very few prisoners in Haiyuan City, and only nine rooms were built, which are the current No. 1 to No. 9 rooms.The local Hongqi Commune reached an oral agreement with the detention center, and the Hongqi Commune was responsible for digging and intercepting the cesspool, and the manure produced was provided to the nearby production team to fertilize the fields.Because it only retains feces and does not require sludge fermentation and digestion, the residence time of sewage is very short.The volume of the cesspool is based on the standard of about 0.25 kg of feces and 1 kg of urine per person per day, and the nine rooms are designed and constructed based on the calculation of 90 prisoners.Due to frequent incidents of members of various production teams coming to the detention center to snatch manure, the manure intercepting tanks were often empty.

After the implementation of the production responsibility system, the number of farmers who came to pick up manure gradually decreased, and completely disappeared by the mid-1990s.However, more and more people committed crimes, and the nine rooms were full.In order to cooperate with the crackdown, the municipal government allocated 500,000 yuan for expansion, and built the current No. 10 to No. 18 rooms, as well as two sentry towers.The newly built nine numbered rooms are designed with three-format septic tanks. There is no problem. The problem lies in the nine old numbered rooms.No one picks up manure, and the cesspool is overflowing with filth, often full of excrement and urine, and the stench is suffocating.In desperation, Director Min forced the business section chief of the Finance Bureau to the detention center, and finally got 10,000 yuan. After discussions and discussions, this amount of money can only be realized as a stopgap measure: lower the water outlet to prevent the filth from overflowing; The domestic water from the open pipe canal is introduced into the septic tank to speed up the water flow; the surface of the pool is sealed tightly with cement boards to prevent the soaring odor from entering the number room.

The problem of not completely solving the septic tank problem is that in the midsummer season, the sewage flowing into the field canal along the outlet is exposed to the sun, emitting a faint stench, entangled with the heat, and permeating every corner of the detention center. "Originally, I didn't have the heart to deal with this trivial matter. I'm going to retire. I'll do it when Wang Gou comes back to be the director." The instructor raised his triangular eyes and sighed sadly, "Hey, what a fucking person It’s not as good as God’s fortune. There’s a new bureau chief here. He’s the captain of the 110. What will the 110 do? Picking up a piece of straw can be blown into a gold bar. That’s it. The poop has to be bigger than other prefectures."

Xiaoru said, "Could it be that the new bureau chief is in charge of the world, and also the criminals who shit and fart?" The instructor giggled, revealing his jagged, burnt-yellow front teeth. "He doesn't care about farting, but he must take care of shit. He said that every detail of the prisoners' eating, drinking, and shitting is an indispensable part of our redemption project. He said it from the watchtower, no lie you." "How much money will the director approve? We have to live within our means." "The director said that we must first change our minds. If we don't change our minds, no amount of funding will help."

"It's like not saying anything." "So, you come up with a plan for me. If there is a plan, it's his business if he doesn't pay for it. If there is no plan, it's my business. What he said is the same as if he didn't say it. If we make a plan, it's the same as if we didn't do it." The instructor led Xiaoru to board the sentry tower, condescending, and had a panoramic view of the thatch covered by the cement of the septic tank, the winding drains and the green late rice.The hot wind blows, smelling like excrement, soil and rice ears. This mixed smell makes people feel real and reliable, because it comes from the world.After a gust of wind, the waves of the late rice undulated, and even the thatch bowed down.Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the warm summer wind blowing past her ears:

"Okay, I'll make a plan." Xiaoru drafted the "Design Plan for the Drainage System Reconstruction Project of the Old Building of Haiyuan City Detention Center" and believed that the water supply and drainage system of the detention center is not perfect. There is only a water supply system and no drainage system.Fecal sewage must undergo simple purification before being discharged into nearby water bodies.The original septic tank is rectangular, as small as a three-format rectangular septic tank is designed. The first grid is a ready-made septic tank for sludge sedimentation and fermentation, and the second and third grids are used for remaining sludge. For sedimentation and sewage clarification, the volumes of the first, second and third compartments account for 50%, 25% and 25% of the total volume respectively.Because the pool body is surrounded by paddy fields and there is groundwater, the building materials of the septic tank can be built with bricks, and the pool wall is covered with a cement surface layer to prevent groundwater penetration.Because there is no vehicle passing through the top of the pool, a general cover can be used.

At the same time, Xiaoru drew a "Schematic Diagram of Brick Rectangular Three-format Septic Tank", marking the location and size of the water inlet, water outlet, cleaning port, ventilation hole, and water hole.The schematic diagram indicates that the vent holes are designed for the escape of harmful gases; the water holes can not only allow the clear liquid to flow from the front room to the back room, but also prevent the bottom sludge and top scum from entering the back room; the septic tank The water inlet of the tank is a T-shaped pipe, and the bottom of the lower mouth extends to 0.5m below the water surface, which can prevent the scum layer on the water surface and the sludge layer at the lower part of the pool from being disturbed. Used for unblocking after blockage.

Considering the fact that there were too many detainees in the old cell, Xiaoru also designed an overflow well.The overflow well is set at the sewage outlet outside the wall, and the interception groove is set in the well, and the overflow weir type is adopted.In this way, the domestic water in the No. 1 room can be separated from the toilet sewage. The domestic water flows into the overflow well through the interception pipe, and then is discharged into the field water body through the discharge pipe; the toilet sewage flows into the septic tank, and is discharged into the field water body after purification.The confluence pipe of the overflow well is connected with the sewage underground pipe. Once the sewage underground pipe is blocked, it can be dredged through the confluence pipe.The function of the overflow well is that it can not only reduce the carrying capacity of the septic tank, but also ensure the unimpeded flow of the sewage underdrain. The text on the plan can be understood by the instructor, but what the instructor cannot understand is a large number of charts, formulas and data, such as the formula for calculating the amount of rainwater, the calculation table for the intercepting main flow pipe, and the multiple of the total design flow transferred through the overflow well.The instructor said: "I'm a dog who recognizes calico, and I feel dizzy when I look at it." "This is for the construction workers, you just need to pay for it." Xiaoru stretched his neck to explain the charts, but the instructor stopped him: "I'll hand it in. Doesn't the new director want to burn three fires? Let him decide." Although the new bureau chief is very happy, after all, he is used to being vigorous and resolute, and the new official puts income first when he takes office.The traffic police were dispatched in full force to catch motorbike driving without a license and not wearing a helmet, and fined one for each arrest; 110 urgently took action to crack down on pornography;In just one week, in addition to handing over to the finance department, the account of the Public Security Bureau was also fully withdrawn. After flipping through the reports and plans submitted by the instructor, the director swiped a pen, and 20,000 yuan was transferred into the detention center's account. Once the septic tank was constructed, it was no longer possible to take a nap in room No. 1.A huge ceiling fan hums non-stop all day long, but the heat is still uncontrollable. Sweat drips from every piece of skin except the palms and soles of the body.Room No. 9 is the closest to the construction site, and the sound of the migrant workers digging with pickaxes seems to be in their heads, as well as their topics about sister-in-law and cryptic jokes, all showing Room No. joie de vivre. Xiaoru's back can't even touch the bed, let alone sleep, because he's worried all day long.The confluence pipe of the overflow well is connected with the sewer drain, as I once took the opportunity of dredging the sewer, with a pair of old trousers and a long-handled razor, to stir the isolation steel bar under the flat grate vent hole of the hidden drain so that it can be drilled sideways the curved hole.Today, the mysteriously missing long-handled razor is still caught between the bricks. To Xiaoru, every swing of a pickaxe by a migrant worker may dig out the air hole of the flat grate, and every snicker is the discovery of the long-handled razor. .What is fidgeting, what is anxious, Xiaoru can be regarded as empathetic. There was one exception, he was curled up in the corner of the aisle like a pile of torn cotton wadding, sleeping peacefully.Needless to say, he is the emperor. Xiaoru is too short, and he has to stand on his toes to see the words "Kuandang" on the wall through the round hole in the iron gate. "Wide Pit" glows dazzlingly white under the hot sun, and the two characters that were originally boring are full of vitality because of the busy migrant workers behind it.It's as small as trying to see the flat grate ventilation holes under the corner of the wall, but you can't; trying to see the bluffing high-voltage lines on the wall, you can't either.The iron gate is too thick, and the round hole with a thick wrist hoops the "Kuan Kang" to death, but only hoops the "Kuan Kang".Xiaoru is still watching with interest from left to right, as if his eyes can penetrate the fence and monitor every move of the migrant workers.When it was nap time, Xiaoru could only sit on the bunk in a daze. When she felt agitated, sweat would overflow, and her arms were like cracked water pipes. The sweat had just been wiped with a towel, and there were beads of sweat again. In Xiaoru's opinion, the construction period of the septic tank was longer than his life. In fact, it took only fifteen days. On the day when the septic tank was completed, Xiaoru did not know that it was completed. It was strange that there was no sound of shovels, hammers, iron trowels rubbing against soil and mortar outside the fence, but the noise of the crowd. Listening carefully, it was a dispute about insufficient safety factors. One of them said, "Who is responsible for the criminals?" Undoubtedly, no one else in the number room heard this sentence clearly, but it made a loud noise like thunder when it penetrated into the ear.It's over, it's all over.A thought was firmly planted in Xiaoru's chest: his father is dead, and he must be punished.Xiao Ru held on to the round hole so tightly that his body did not collapse.Therefore, when the instructor opened the iron door, Xiao Ru leaned against the iron door and threw himself into the instructor's arms. "Get up and see what you've done." The instructor flashed, and Xiao Ru almost fell to the ground. Xiaoru felt his heart jumping into his head, making him dizzy. The number room, high-voltage lines, sentry towers, walls, and "leniency for confession and strictness for resistance" all showed their hideous faces, which made people breathless. The instructor led Xiaoru out of the gate of the detention center and along the wall to the newly completed septic tank.The growing late rice emits a compelling fragrance, but unfortunately Xiaoru can't smell anything, he can only smell the smell of sweat on his body and a breath of death.A few people stood lazily on the cement cover of the septic tank that had just been closed. The one with a big belly was probably a contractor, and the others looked like cadres.Seeing that the instructor led a young man out, they stopped arguing, pointed at the overflow well and said: "Let him go down and try, can the prisoner get in and out? Just kidding." The instructor corrected, "They are not all criminals, they are collectively referred to as criminals. It's like not all the big bellies are the bosses." Amidst the roar of laughter, Xiaoru lowered the overflow well with both hands, bent down and got into the confluence pipe.The instructor picked up a lump of mud and smashed it on Xiaoru's raised buttocks, "Who told you to drill this end? Drill that end!" The soul that had been frightened away for a long time attached itself to Xiao Ru's body again. It turned out that what they were worried about was not that the criminals would escape from the underground sewage pipes, but that the criminals would drill into the interception tank from the open pipes that discharge domestic water, and then return to the interception tank. Drill from the catch tank to the overflow well and escape. Xiaoru turned his butt and dived into the interception trough, and saw the newly modified open pipe canal erected a few steel bars at the position of the wall. Although it is impossible for ordinary people to climb out, its vulnerable appearance can indeed encourage prisoners to escape from prison desire. Xiaoru backed out of the interception tank, straightened her waist and was exposed outside the overflow well, "The steel bars are too sparse," Xiaoru said shamelessly, "It's all my fault that I didn't specify that three layers of interlaced anti-theft nets should be added here when I designed it." "You go up." The instructor turned to the contractor and said, "I said that something will happen, right? Okay, what about the third floor?" Xiaoru patted the dirt on his body and said, "Three layers of staggered anti-theft net." "Yes, you can pay the bill after finishing the three-layer staggered anti-theft net." The contractor was very dissatisfied. He kicked away the stones under his feet and said, "What kind of international joke are you talking about? Isn't it just a few steel bars? You can at most deduct a hundred yuan." "You don't want to die," the instructor looked around, and said in a low voice, "It needs to be done before dark, and you have to go in if someone escapes."
