Chapter 18 5. That night

The hardest part is still the night. Our windows are always hung with dark blue curtains, and in order to save some money for the prison, we only have a small light in the square hall. The light from the energy-saving lamps is a bit pale, and the room has a gloomy feeling. At night, Lao Song couldn't sleep, and neither could I, so the two of them started chatting. He knew everything about Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhao well. He told me a secret, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhao are both abnormal and very weird. Because there is one thing that Lao Song saw with his own eyes... The incident happened a year ago. Lao Song was the instructor of another sub-district in our prison area. At that time, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhao were on the same shift, and Lao Song and another policeman were on the same shift.

During dinner at night, everyone was talking and laughing.Lao Song found that Xiao Zhao had been depressed; he didn't know why. At that time, Ma Gan was the class monitor and was in charge of a dormitory.Both Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhao were successively Ma Gan's "four guarantees" police officers. "Four guarantees" means that one policeman is responsible for several prisoners, just like the guarantee responsibility system. In the evening, Lao Song saw Xiao Zhao enter the cell and go to Ma Gan's class.After a while, he came out again.After a while, Ma Gan chased him out.

After that, Xiao Zhao and Ma Gan quarreled inside and outside the iron gate, the voices were not loud, and the dispute was very serious.Xiao Zhao said: "How many times have I warned you, please pay attention to me, otherwise, I will put you in confinement." "What are you? Your uncle was beaten to death, and you don't even think about getting out of this prison alive. I'll put my words here." "You dare to threaten me?" "You don't care about my business." Ma Gan said and left. ... "That's all?" I asked Lao Song. "How could it be. At night, the toilet in our duty room was blocked. I wanted to pee, and I couldn't bear it. I wanted to borrow their duty room toilet. So, I went to their duty room. At that time, the curtain on their door was not closed. Pull it up. They didn't even sleep, but put their ears against the wall, not knowing what they were listening to!" Lao Song lowered his voice and shook his head.

"Also, I heard that Ma Gan likes to flirt with comrades, and his arm was broken because of it." "Ma Gan is a comrade, I know it. Who did you hear about this?" "A prisoner." "He didn't lie to you." "I'm wondering if the deaths of Xiao Liu and Zhao are related to Ma Gan." "Then how is it possible, Ma Gan died first, unless?" "Unless what?" "Unless Ma Gan is not dead? He is still alive." "How is this possible?" "It's hard to say, but Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhao died so suddenly. The prisoners all said that they were killed by Ma Gan, and they were Ma Gan's ghosts."

"how come?" "One day, a prisoner told me that he had seen the ghost of Ma Gan in the prison..." Lao Song's eyes widened, he finished his cigarette, and the room was quiet. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door... The knock on the door was so loud that the anti-theft door flickered... It's so late, who will knock on the door? I was a little scared, Lao Song seemed to be fine, and continued to smoke and watch TV. Tian Xiaole smiled at me, "Go and open the door!" I stood up and went to open the door. I opened the peephole and found a woman in her fifties standing outside the door.

"Who are you looking for?" "For those who charge the electricity bill, you have owed the bill for three days. If you don't pay it, I will cut off the electricity for you." The woman's face was chubby and full of flesh. I opened the door, "Why are you here so late to collect the electricity bill?" "I usually see that you keep hanging the curtains, and you don't know if there is anyone at home, that's why you came so late." She looked into the room with her head probed. She wanted to get in, but I stopped her with my arm, "Isn't it possible to pay the electricity bill online? I'll pay you online later."

"Brother, we are a county seat, so it's better to pay the electricity bill in cash." "Do you have a work permit? Show it to me." "Here you are." She took out the certificate, her head was still stretched out, she looked into the room, said nothing, and left angrily. In the evening, we still go to the funeral home every hour to see the old color.
