Chapter 20 Chapter 19 In Jail

If the novel ends here, it is just a fragile person moaning to himself, making people sympathize with his misfortune, and looking forward to the pity of the world.But Tao Zi is not such a person.He has a natural tenacious and tenacious vitality.No matter how great the pain and blow is, it will eventually pass. As long as people live, hope will be eternal.Otherwise, why live. On the same day, I accepted nearly ten hours of review in the criminal police team.Then he was sent to Zhalantun Prison.Zhalantun Prison is the only prison in Hulunbeier City that detains and rehabilitates criminals from ethnic minorities, and it is also the only prison in the entire district.To be honest, since I was born, I never thought that I could "squat on a fence". (“Wailizi” is a transliteration of Russian, and the northern dialect generally refers to prison.) When I first came in, I was really not used to it.Fortunately, I was already on the verge of despair.Therefore, no matter how difficult the environment is, it is nothing to me.I was a walking dead for a few days, except for interrogation and release, I just ate and slept.After a few days, the person lost more than ten catties.

When my sanity began to recover slowly and I began to understand this place carefully, I realized that this was a completely different world from the outside world. It may be because I am a suspect in a major criminal case. There are three or four serious criminals in the cell where I live. They wear ankle shackles that weigh several kilograms on their feet. , The sound of shackles rubbing against the hard concrete floor pierced one's eardrums.There are many gauges in the number.There were more than 30 people crowded in a hut of more than 20 square meters.In addition to a broken toilet, there are three floors of floors in the room, and there is a small grid under the floor for clothes.These people are divided into three levels, called 1, 2, and 3 respectively.When Yipu sleeps at night, each person has a width of about two feet long, and can turn half over.Those who sleep in this row are the upper class of the prison.There are more people in the second shop than in the first shop, and the people in the second shop can lie down, and there is no room for turning over.Sanpu is the most popular type of people in the prison, and it is also the lowest class in the cell. There are serious criminals such as murder and rape, blind people who come from other places to commit crimes, and newcomers.I was placed among the three bunks.Those who slept in the third bunk were not allowed to talk at all during the day, and they had no right to turn over at night. When sleeping, everyone had to turn over one by one before they could all lie down.Don’t think about getting up at night at all. At the beginning, one night I was in a hurry to urinate. I went to the toilet to pee, and when I came back, I found that I couldn’t squeeze it in.One next to the other was already full, and no one could wake them up, and they dared not wake up, so they had to sit by the toilet until dawn.Originally, drowsiness could drive Jingjing away for a short time, but as soon as she fell asleep, it was her who appeared in front of her eyes without exception.Living in such an environment, coupled with such a state of mind, can be described as hell on earth.

Captain Shi came to talk to me several times.His dark, thin face and sharp eyes have become a bright light that illuminates my world.How I wish he could see through the details and give me justice.Too bad all the evidence is too bad for me.So many people died in the cemetery, and the methods of death were bizarre and different, and the only witness, Jingjing, could not speak to me.Under the direct light of the desk lamp that baked my face, and in front of the words "Leniency in Confession, Strictness in Resistance", I even had the illusion that I was the murderer.The more dizzy you are, the more incoherent your words will be.My confession often made Captain Shi shake his head again and again.One day, he said to me very seriously: "Now you have the opportunity to overturn the case. You have to seize it and tell the truth. I will come to see you again when I have time." I had a long talk with him with everything I knew. Before he left, he expressed his trust in me.At the same time, he also said frankly to me: "Because this case is of great importance, it needs investigation, evidence collection, case filing, court trial... It will take quite a long time to complete the procedures, so you have to be mentally prepared." He left Afterwards, a few days and a few weeks later, I never came back... I finally realized that it was already an extravagant wish for me to walk out of the gate of the prison.

Gradually, I became familiar with the life here and how to behave without dignity.In life, sometimes we don’t understand the importance of respecting others. Sometimes we get angry at the excessive price increase of the hawker at the stall, or get angry at the slightest mistake of the waiter. Only now do we know that people should actually be humble and treat themselves and others kindly , having everything is not as important as living with dignity.Looking out at the sky from the barred window, it is obvious that it has the color of spring.When the wind blows, you can also see a little green shoots of the grass.It is this little bit of spring that ignites my desire for a better life.

Captain Shi, whom I was looking forward to, still did not come.This is the ninety-third day I have been in Zhalantun Prison.Under his previous care, my identity has already been upgraded to Yipu.In addition, I can write a few strokes, and I became a good helper for the prison guards to copy books and write notices.The inmates didn't care that I was called Taozi, but called me Xiucai.I am very fond of this nickname, and I often use my free time to practice calligraphy and read books, and my life has returned to peace.Since you don't know when you will be able to walk out of this gate, you might as well take it calmly.

"Xiu Cai, come out. Someone is watching you." The prison guard's usual loud voice was like thunder. "Look at me?" I froze.What do you call look at me.When Captain Shi comes, it should usually be called mentioning me. Puzzled, I followed the prison guards through a long corridor, and several iron doors filled with lives who yearned for freedom passed by me.Look at me?Who remembers me? It was a short man who finally opened an iron gate for me.This guy is not wearing a police uniform, so he is probably not a serious policeman, and he is equivalent to watching the send and receive role in a prison.When I passed him, he rolled his eyes and smiled at me, which confused me a little.But right away I knew why he had that look on his face.Because the person on the other side of the glass is too dazzling.The woman was about twenty years old, and she was born graceful, like a lotus, with tall black hair coiled on the nape of her neck, an oval face, a little baby fat on her cheeks, jet-black eyebrows, and radiant eyes. , wearing a small black jacket with a large string of diamond necklaces on the collar.No need to ask, it was Jingjing.

Shocked, I turned my head and walked away.The prison guards were not only surprised, but also looked at him with admiration.Yes, to have such a beautiful girl come to see me is a miracle in itself, and to turn a blind eye to such a girl and walk away is a miracle of miracles.It's unheard of to pick up girls to this level, and it's inevitable that all the prison guards will be willing to lose. "Master Taozi, don't go. I'm here to make a break with you." Hearing this sentence, my feet were immobilized as if immobilized. After thinking about it for a long time, I turned around and walked to sit opposite her.

The distance between us is only one meter, but a world is separated.We each sat on a folding chair.Between the two is a layer of barbed wire.I wiped my face vigorously.The beard sat crookedly on the chin like a weed.After staying in this dark place for a long time, the demand for personal image has dropped to an extremely low level.Facing her like this now, I feel ashamed. Jingjing stared at me and said nothing. "You have ten minutes. Let's have a good chat." The little man closed the iron door on his side with a bang, and there were only two of us left in the huge room. "Let's talk about it, what's the matter?" I looked directly at her and then looked away.

She was still looking me up and down, with a little strangeness reflected in her eyes.I think she may not recognize that the gloomy person in front of her is the former Master Peach. "Master Taozi, we may never see each other again. Let me call you that again." Jingjing broke the silence. I sneered: "It's up to you." "Stories always have an ending. Today I will come to complete our ending with you." When she said this, there was not much expression on her face.Just calm, calm as water.I know that I can no longer ripple widely in her mind. "What do you want to say? Do you want to tell me how you betrayed me? If so, let's start from the beginning."

"Master Taozi is really smart. Then I started. In fact, it was a trap for you to come to work in the cemetery from the beginning. Chief Wang and the shaman are good friends. , after the birthday of June 4th, Chief Wang visited all his friends and looked for Costin." Jingjing began to narrate calmly, as if she was talking about what happened to others. During this period of time in prison, I thought a lot. I had already guessed the dealings between Chief Wang and the shaman, so I was not surprised. "However, there is another thing that you probably didn't expect. Director Sun is also with them. The person who persuaded me to cooperate with them to get the treasure is Director Sun." I was surprised.Director Sun, who is fair, selfless and approachable, is also using me. It is really "it's hard to draw a dragon or a tiger, and you know the face but you don't know the heart."

"By chance, when Director Sun checked the information, he found that your birthday happened to be the fourth day of June. They would go to great lengths to trick you to Genhe. As for Secretary Luo, he deliberately approached you and made indirect remarks to you. Telling the ins and outs of Zhang Zuolin's legacy, these are also designed long ago." "No wonder. So you already knew about this." I shook my head, thinking that I was still a bit smart, but I didn't expect to live in other people's trap for a long time.What a failure. "You're wrong. I didn't know Director Wang arranged for Secretary Luo to be his eyeliner. This old fox lined up two lines to work for him at the same time, so as to ensure that his plan was foolproof. Because of this, I have been mistaking Secretary Luo was treated as an imaginary enemy. It caused a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings." "I see." Secretary Luo was nothing more than a small civil servant.How dare he refuse to follow the director's arrangement.It's a pity that he couldn't help himself when he got the bronze medal.Premature exposure finally caused a fatal disaster. "You will know the rest of the matter. But there is one thing I only heard about in the past few days. After an in-depth investigation by the criminal police team, Cheng Fei is not the eldest brother of Jixian Society." "Ah!" This surprised me.If he wasn't the boss of Jixian Club, then wouldn't all the assumptions I made before be untenable. "But at that time, your guess was already close to ten. Cheng Fei is indeed the backbone of Jixian Club. But he is not the boss. The real behind-the-scenes boss of Jixian Club is actually Fang Xiaodan." "I didn't expect that. It turned out that the positions of the two of them were reversed." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh at Fang Xiaodan's brilliance.As the saying goes, "The big hermit hides in the court, the middle hermit hides in the city, and the small hermit hides in the wild." As the boss of Jixian Society, he has been hiding himself in the Civil Affairs Bureau and driving.The two of them first lined up around the cemetery and made a lot of preparations.Then he intentionally crashed the Cherokee, and then broke his own leg, which was counted as bitter meat.After gaining everyone's trust, they cooperated with each other to kill one by one, and forced me to hand over the bronze medal by creating terrorist incidents.It can be imagined that most of their murders are done by the professional killer Cheng Fei.Precisely because he was originally a policeman, he is particularly outstanding in anti-criminal investigation capabilities.In a series of incidents, Fang Xiaodan let Cheng Fei play the role of the boss, in order to reduce everyone's attention to him, and tried to fish in troubled waters to get the bronze medal.The plan was almost seamless.But he didn't expect that I could use the name of the machine repair station to let Cheng Fei hit my fireworks ghost blowing lamp.He was also afraid that Cheng would recruit him when he was seriously injured, so he ordered the killer to kill Cheng Fei.Cheng Fei is his confidant and has been working hard for him. He can attack Cheng at this time, which shows his insidiousness and viciousness.This reminds me of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, who temporarily stayed at Lu Boshe's house when he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo.Lu Wai went out to sell wine and asked his family to host a banquet.Cao Cao vaguely heard someone sharpening a knife in the backyard.And one person said to the other: "I will kill now or at dinner time." Cao thought that Lu planned to kill him, so he drew his knife and opened the door to kill Lu's family of eight.After the killing, it was discovered that there was a pig tied up on the ground in the backyard.The other party knew that they had misunderstood others.At this time, Lu Boshe, who bought the wine, returned, and Cao Yidao also killed him.Chen Gong, who was traveling with him, was angry and frightened, and asked Cao Cao why he wanted to kill someone when he knew he was wrong. Cao said, "I'd rather the people in the world bear me down, than let the people in the world bear down on me."At first I thought this was just a fabrication in storytelling, but who knew there were such people in real life?Cheng Yaojin came out on the way.The strength of Jingjing and Captain Xiao's group is evenly matched with them.Let him have no way to attack us in time. Now that I think about it, I am really afraid. Even if we give him one more chance, we don't know what will happen. Jingjing knew I was thinking.After a pause, he continued: "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. This is the law of survival in nature. Although it is my fault that I have been hiding it from you, I have never harmed others. As I said, What we pursue is different. It was not suitable to be together. Today, I can leave here with peace of mind if I speak clearly." "Hmph." I sneered again. "Jingjing, you haven't hurt anyone, it sounds nice. You can lie to others, but you can't lie to me. You have been using Captain Xiao's feelings for you. Isn't it? Besides, you are using Captain Xiao and Fang Xiaodan to go Killing each other, you watch the fire from the other side, and then make a profit. In the end, Captain Xiao died at the door. Don't worry? You are an indirect murderer. Even if you really get the money in exchange for the bronze medal, I guarantee you can't sleep every day." There was a hint of panic on her face, and then she regained her composure. "I said before that I didn't force him, that's what he asked for. I obviously already have a boyfriend, but he still pursues me. What does this mean? One word: cheap. Men are cheap. You are the same, when you didn't Did you also fall in love with me when I made friends with Brother Meng? Why don't you talk about morality, can you be worthy of your friend?" At this point, she began to get a little excited. "Hmph, I've made it clear now. Yes, I never thought about letting Captain Xiao come back alive. I wish he and Fang Xiaodan would die together. Only in this way, you and I will go away with the bronze medal and fly away. That's the end." Perfect. Director Wang promised me that as long as I take out the bronze medal and hand it over to him, he will give us a sum of money. That money is more than we can spend in our lifetime. That morning, I not only urged Xiao The captain went to attack Fang Xiaodan, and reminded Fang Xiaodan that someone was going to attack him. That’s why the two of them were evenly matched. It turns out that my plan succeeded. It was I who wiped out all the powerful enemies that threatened our lives for you. You should be grateful for my life-saving grace. But you repay your favor and treat me as an enemy. Originally, I wanted to spend my whole life with you, but the moment I knelt in front of Captain Xiao’s corpse, I changed my mind. Yes. I have to separate from you. I can't live with such a hypocritical man for the rest of my life. To be honest, a man like Captain Xiao is much better than you. At least he is straightforward. He is what he is. Unlike you, you are benevolent when you open your mouth and keep your mouth shut. Morality. Actually doing something unethical." My face turned red.Hearing her spitting blood in turn made me furious. "You said, did I do something unethical?" "Do you still need me to say? You didn't just find out about the matter between me and Captain Xiao. You already knew that our relationship was not normal. You even knew that we had a physical relationship. But you never asked Is it out of generosity? No, it is out of your selfishness. When your life is in danger, your first thought is to protect yourself." I was caught by what she said, and I was powerless to refute.The weakness of human nature is always exposed when life is threatened.I suddenly found that although her tone didn't change much, her eyes were filled with tears. She pressed her step by step: "You said I was watching the fire from the other side, what about you? You are even more despicable, you are a typical murderer with a borrowed knife. You analyzed Fang Xiaodan and Captain Xiao to me that night, in fact, to make me take action and get rid of you The enemy in your eyes. Make yourself safer. Isn't it? You have to put yourself in a hypocritical cloak even though your intentions are vicious. The most cruel thing is that at the last moment of Captain Xiao's life, you had the opportunity to open the door and rescue him. House. But you have not acted." Her words suddenly hit my chest like a big rock.That's right, didn't I know Captain Xiao was dying when he knocked on the door?As long as the door is opened, he will have the hope of surviving.In order to protect myself, for the so-called absolute safety, and to make my jealous rival disappear, I did not open the door.Isn't it a crime to ignore the dying?Although I can find many reasons for not opening the door at that time, there are various reasons, but I also clearly realize that it is just self-deception.I, have been counted as a conscious murderer.I couldn't help but secretly startled, without Jingjing's words, I almost forgot my crime.I, who once called myself a moral guard, risked huge dangers in order to protect national assets from infringement, and was on the verge of life and death time and time again.Even when he was about to leave the cemetery, he drew such an imperfect stroke for himself.My aura was gone all of a sudden, replaced by cold sweat.This time the moral bottom line has fallen to a level that conscience cannot tolerate.I know that I have lost one of the most important things - the principles and values ​​of being a human being, and I will never get it back. My eyes are already dull, and my mind is full of the shadow of Captain Xiao. "He didn't deserve to die. He didn't deserve to die." I said this several times silently, as if talking to myself.Suddenly, his eyes pointed at her like a sharp arrow: "But you are not the same. We are all the same. We just watched a person die in front of us. And this person is not a sinner, he is someone who really likes you." "That's right, he likes me, but I don't like him. Fang Xiaodan is indeed a bad guy. He fights with bad guys. It shows that he is also a person with a sense of justice. I also regret his death." I smiled wryly, feeling a bit insane. "Sorry? What a beautiful diplomatic statement. Instructing them to kill each other. You are a murderer." Jingjing looked up at me. "If I'm a murderer. Who is it who designed me to do these things? Instigators, right?" A knife stabbed me in the chest again.I felt blood gushing out of my body and flowing down in all directions.We all fell silent again.The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. "It's time." The staff member in casual clothes pushed open the iron door and signaled that it was time for us to finish.I wanted to stand up, but I couldn't move.The inconsistency reappeared.I hate Jingjing and wish I could kill her.I have experienced a lot of life and death, and I don't think it is so scary anymore.I am a person who likes to plan, and all the plans I have in this life include her.However, she was suddenly not in my plan.Moreover, stabbing the softest part of my heart several times has made me experience the feeling that life is really worse than death these days.But no matter how much this kind of hatred is, he is unwilling to leave at this time.I have a subconscious mind, as long as she walks out of this door, we will break the marriage of this life.Since then, there is no possibility of the two ends of the world meeting each other again.At this time, I just want to look at her one more time and remember this woman who gave me heaven and hell. She also sat in the same place as I did.I know that she also has nostalgia for me, but she doesn't want to face it either.She only said something dreamily: "I'm leaving. It would be great if you hadn't come to Yantai. If you had gone to Changchun, our story would have a different ending." Prison guards in plain clothes had already arrived by my side.He stretched out a hand to grab my arm, and I stood up knowingly and followed him to the depths of the prison.I didn't dare to look back, and I didn't dare to let others drag me into any abyss.After walking a long distance, I heard the sound of iron doors closing twice.I know that my world and her world will never intersect again.The prison guard next to me took out a handkerchief from his pocket and waved it to me in a friendly way.I looked at him in confusion: "What are you doing?" He smiled: "It's nothing, just wipe it off." I just realized that I didn't know when my face was full of tears. Life in prison is boring and painful.But there is no unbearable suffering.If you stay in a bitter environment for a long time, you won't feel bitter anymore.Physical suffering is better than mental suffering, and mental suffering is the most difficult.I demand myself according to the monk's standard, but I still can't transcend the five elements beyond the Three Realms.That bunch of worldly thoughts are like annoying flies flying around me.The imagination that often appears in my mind is "What is Jingjing doing? Did she get a lot of money and go abroad to live her happy life?" "Director Wang will no longer be the director. With money He will definitely go away." "Who did the bronze medal end up in? Did Cui Shuwen get the money from Citibank, or did it hand it over to the country?" "What happened to my case, I won't stay here forever Right?" "What's the matter with my parents, will they be anxious if they can't contact me, why haven't they come to see me?" These are not fatal.Two of the most dreaded questions have always stuck with me: The first question is already super scary: I always wonder if I will be sentenced to be shot.Although Captain Shi has always been nice to me, that's only superficial.He is to gain my trust and cooperation.He hasn't been here for such a long time.What exactly does this mean.I already know the gauge in the horn.If someone opened the door to pick someone up at seven o'clock in the morning, it goes without saying that they would be killed.There was a brother who slept across the street from me. We were chatting about homework the night before. He said that if he could go out, he would buy a big house for his wife and daughter, but he was taken away the next morning.Before he went out, he said goodbye to all of us with a smile: "Brothers, I will take a step first, and we will meet in other places when we have time." He never came back.The quilts, tea mugs, washbasins, etc. he used were all tied up in a sack, stitched up with needles in the sack, and then a cloth strip was made, and I wrote a few words on it: "XXX relics" ".Although this kind of thing is not unusual in the inside, it still touched the most fearful and fragile nerve in my heart.I want to trust the government every day, but I am afraid that the government will not take care of me.Every morning at seven o'clock, my heart would be beating wildly.I won't put my heart in my stomach until it's eight o'clock quietly. The second question is more frightening than the first: why Jingjing and I have finished the final farewell, why she is still hanging over my head like a dark cloud.Every time I think of her, my heart hurts, and I want to curse out to my heart's content.Zhalantun Prison was originally a small place. After a long time, almost everyone in the prison knew that Xiucai stayed here because he was cheated by a woman. When Xiucai talked about women, he would curse.Until one "home thief" once said the truth.He said: "You say you hate her every day, which means you still have her in your heart. If you don't have her in your heart, where does the hatred come from?" Only then did I understand, looking at my heart in the mirror: "So she still Here, I didn’t leave at all.” It’s too cheap for her to go this way, and one day I will find her when I go out. Half a year later, Hulunbeier ushered in its short summer.After endless rounds of judicial proceedings.My summer is here too.All the facts have been found out, and I was acquitted due to insufficient evidence of motive for the murder.I heard that this is also thanks to a technology called "smoke detection".The principle behind this technique is shot residue identification.When the gun is fired, soot composed of gunpowder particles and metal powder entrained in the air mass escaping from the end of the barrel will remain on the back of the shooter's hand and clothes.By extracting and analyzing these substances through technical means, it is possible to confirm who has fired and who has not.Of course, this is what I learned later.
