Chapter 232 The Evil Embryo in the Two Prison Incubation

Javert's victory at Gorbo's House might have looked complete, but it was not. First, and his chief concern, Javert had not made the captive a captive at the time.The escaped victim was more suspicious than the murderers. Since the gangsters valued him so much, he should also be a rare commodity to the authorities. Secondly, Mount Parnas also slipped through the hands of Javert. He had to wait for another opportunity to deal with this "scented goblin".At that time, Eponine was watching under the big tree on the side of the road. Montparnasse met her and took her away. He would rather flirt with the girl than seek favors with the old man.Fortunately, he was still at ease.As for Éponine, it was no consolation that Javert had her pinned up.Together with Azma, Éponine went to the prison of Madeleinet.

Finally, on the way from Gorbo's House to Raffles Prison, one of the leading criminals, Iron Fang, disappeared.No one knew what happened, the police and the guards were "bewildered", he turned into a puff of smoke, he slipped from the handcuffs, he flowed through the cracks in the car, the carriage cracked, he slipped, Everyone didn't know how to explain it. They only knew that Iron Fang was lost when they went to prison.There is the trick of the gods or the trick of the police.Can iron teeth melt in the night as a snowflake melts in water?Is there any tacit understanding on the part of the police here?Is this man a charade of both chaos and order?Is he the common center of crime and law enforcement?Is this Sphinx with two front paws in sin and two hind paws in law?Javert did not accept this kind of misleading statement at all. If he knew of such double-handed tactics, his hair would stand on end. There are also some other scouts in his team, although they are his subordinates. But he knew more about the secrets of policing than he did, and Iron Fang was just such a thug who would make a pretty good cop.Being able to establish such a close relationship with the dark forces in terms of stealing the sky and changing the sky is very good for theft, and it is also extremely valuable for policing.There are such double-edged gangsters.Either way, Iron Fang was gone.Javert was more impatient than surprised by this incident.

As for Marius, "that frightful, foolish lawyer," Javert did not care much, and forgot his name.Moreover, what is a lawyer, a lawyer can be found at any time.But is this thing really a lawyer? The interrogation began. The magistrate felt that it would be beneficial for one person among the Cat Boss gang to escape prison, and hoped to hear something from him.It was Brujon, the long-haired one in the Rue Petit Bankers.They put him in the courtyard of Charlemagne, and the wardens watched him with open eyes. The name Brujon was remembered in the prison of Laforce.There is an ugly so-called new building courtyard in the prison. The administration calls it St. Bernard Court, but the criminals call it the Lion's Groove. This courtyard has an old rusty iron gate that leads to the former Ducal Raffles Palace. The chapel was later converted into a dormitory for prisoners.Near the left side of this gate, there is a stone wall high to the roof, covered with scales and lichen, on which, twelve years ago, a kind of fortress-like figure could still be seen, nailed into the It was randomly carved on the stone, and the following words were signed below:

This Brujon of 1811 was the father of Brujon of 1832. This little Brujon, whom we had only glimpsed casually in the murder at Gorbeau's, was a very cunning, very capable, well-built lad with a naive appearance and a sad face.It was because of this naivety that the magistrate let him go, thinking it would be more useful to keep him in the Court of Charlemagne than in the isolation cell. Prisoners are not kept from each other because they are controlled by the law.They don't shy away from such a small matter.Being in prison for a crime does not prevent you from committing another crime.An artist already has an oil painting on display in an exhibition hall, and he can still create a new one in his studio.

Brujon seemed to have been put in prison for a fool.He was sometimes seen standing for hours near the window of the commissary in the courtyard of Charlemagne, looking like an idiot at the dirty price-list, from the first "Garlic, sixty-two centimes" Read all the way to the last "cigar, five centimes".Otherwise, he kept shaking, grinding his teeth, saying he had a fever, and asking if one of the twenty-eight beds in the ward was free. Suddenly, in the second half of February, 1832, the sleepy Brujon was discovered, not in his own name, but in the name of his three companions, through some prison laborers. , for three different operations, which cost him fifty sous altogether, an unusual expense which attracted the attention of the prison superintendent.

After investigation and research with reference to the errand bill posted in the prisoner's reception room, it was finally known that the fifty sous were allocated as follows: three errands, one at the Pantheon, ten sous ; one at the Military Medical College, fifteen sous; one at the Grenell gate, twenty-five sous.This last sum is the highest number on the meter.At the same time, the Pantheon, the Academy of Medical Sciences, and Grenelle were the dwellings of three rather vicious thieves, one called Cruydagne, also called Piczaro, and one called Glory, a freed convict. The culprit, a man called a traffic blocker, this incident drew the eyes of the police to them again.The letters from Brujon were not addressed, but were delivered to persons waiting in the street, so that the police guessed that there must be secret notices of some kind in them.With other clues, they arrested the three men, thinking that any plot of Brujon had been thwarted.

About a week after these measures were taken, one night, a warden on night watch was inspecting the dormitory on the lower floor of the new building and was about to throw his chestnuts into the chestnut box-this was used to ensure that the wardens The method of strictly carrying out the task, nailed to the boxes at the door of each dormitory, one chestnut should fall into it every hour-the prison guard saw Brujon sitting on the bed with his legs bent over from the spy hole of the dormitory , What are you writing by the light of the candles on the wall.The guards ran in and sent Brujon to a black cell for a month, but found nothing of his writing.The police were unable to grasp other circumstances.

One thing is certain: the next day, a "mail coachman" was thrown into the sky from the courtyard of Charlemagne, over the six-story building, and landed in the lion's ditch on the other side of the building. What the convicts called a "mailman" was a dough ball artfully balled up and sent to "Ireland"; and to be sent to Ireland, that is, tossed from yard to yard over the roofs of the cells. (Etymology: Across England, from one landmass to another, Ireland.) In short, the loaves fell into that yard.Whoever picks up the loaf, cuts it open, and finds in it a note addressed to some prisoner in that yard; whoever finds it, if a prisoner, forwards it to the appointed place; if a guard , or a prisoner who has been secretly bought, that is, the sheep in the prison and the fox in the hard labor prison, the note will be sent to the management office and forwarded to the police.

This time, the mail driver reached his destination, even though the recipient was in "quarantine".The recipient was none other than Barbour, one of the Big Four of Cat Boss. The postman had wrapped a rolled-up paper with only two lines on it: This is what Brujon wrote that night. Despite layers of male and female searchers, Barbour finally figured out a way to get the note from Raffles Prison to one of his "friends" who were incarcerated in a women's workhouse.The girl forwarded the note to a woman she knew, Manon, who had been closely watched by the police but had not yet been arrested.Of this Manon, the reader has already seen her name, and we shall speak later of her relationship with the first family of Danes, who, through Éponine, is able to act between the Ladies' Hospice and the Prison of Madeleinette. bridge role.

At this moment, in the case against Thenardier, Éponine and Azma were both released due to lack of evidence on the part concerning his two daughters. When Eponine was released from prison, Manon secretly waited for her outside the gate of Madeleinette, gave her the note that Brujon had written to Barbour, and sent her to "clear up" the matter. . Éponine went to the Rue de Plumet, recognized the iron gate and the garden, inspected the house carefully, watched it for a few days, and then went to Manon's house in the Rue de la Congre, and gave her a biscuit, and Manon gave her another biscuit. The biscuit went to Barbour's friend at the women's workhouse.A biscuit is "no way" to symbolism in prison.

So, within a week, Barber and Brujon, one on his way to "teaching" and the other on his way back, met each other on the patrol road.Brujon asked: "What's the matter, Bujie?" Barbour replied: "Biscuits." Thus was the miscarriage of the offspring that Brujon had created in the prison of Laforce. There was more to this abortion, but it had nothing to do with Brujon's plans.We'll talk about that later. We often connect another wire when we want to connect this one.
