"Brother Zhou, come and give you two packs of good cigarettes!" The foreign worker shouted at the iron gate.

A little confused, this kid comes to the cell every day to rub cigarettes and give me cigarettes? Putting down the betel nut in his hand and walking over, the foreign worker handed in two packs of soft China from between the iron gate fences with an expression of invitation: "I helped you ask, your boss is in the second prison of the second building in the north, this is the cigarette he sent to you, and there is a letter for you." ”

took the cigarette and letter he handed over, turned around and took two packets of red plums in his cabinet and gave them to him: "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

After opening a pack of cigarettes sent in, giving one to Wang Yongfei and Boss Xu, he gave the rest to Wu Jianguo and opened the letter.

The content of the letter was very simple, the boss told me that he had hired a lawyer, and he had also contacted the other party outside, telling me that the matter was not big, and that all four of them should be sentenced to prison within one year, which was what his lawyer told him. He also asked me if I had any living expenses, and if I didn't, I asked the foreign worker to bring a message over, and when his lawyer met with me, he arranged for someone to send me some living expenses.

After reading the letter, under the reminder of Boss Xu, he burned the letter and flushed it into the toilet, after all, this is a collusion, and if it is discovered, it will inevitably be punished with shackles and the like.

"Your boss is okay, are you still going to follow him when you go out?" Boss Xu asked me.

"I don't know yet, let's talk about it then, I have to go home first and then decide." I thought for a moment and replied.

The iron door opened, and Zhang Li returned to his cell. The head drooped and the mood was not high, presumably because the lawyer didn't hear any good news during the meeting, Wu Jianguo leaned over and asked, and the others listened carefully with their ears open.

is similar to Boss Xu's analysis, several bosses who were arrested together have been released on bail pending trial, and now Zhang Li and one of his brothers are still in the detention center. The basic nature has already been determined: Zhang Li is the principal offender who opened the casino, his brother is an accomplice, and the bosses are only members involved in gambling.

"There's no way, I can only carry it myself, can I still pull others, there's no need. The lawyer said that it would be about one to two years, and now it would be good for him to try to get me a suspended sentence, or in the future, when it is time to serve my sentence, he will find a way to see if he can get a sentence outside of prison. Zhang Li can still see it, "I'm more satisfied, it's good to be able to do it for so many years without an accident, how can there be such a good thing, if you have the idea of breaking the law, you should have the consciousness of going to prison, the old man who set up a fortune teller on the street at home, I looked for him several times, and every time he said it was in the clouds, and he didn't dare to say it to me, but I calculated it myself, and I can't run away from prison in this life, and it can be regarded as retribution." It's true that I haven't done anything good for so many years, but I have done a lot of bad things. Zhang Li seemed free and easy at this time.

"Indeed, there is really no one here who is innocent, and they all deserve it." Wang Yongfei glanced at everyone and said after a smile.

"College student, can you buy me two cigarettes when I order today?" After the shipment, Wu Jianguo told everyone at the door that foreign workers had started ordering again, and when Zhao Changping found me and asked.

"What, you're running out of money? Didn't I just send you 3,000 years ago? I asked him, a little confused.

Zhao Changping was used to piling up a smile on his face and said: "It's used up, it's so expensive to add vegetables, dozens of dollars a day and dozens of dollars a day are really useless!" It's okay, didn't you write a letter for me? In a few days, the family will send money and I will pay you back, and if you don't add vegetables in the past few days, you will eat the head and tail. You can buy me a box of instant noodles later, just eat the head and tail without starving. ”

"Get you a cigarette and a box of instant noodles, you can also save some money, and go to jail! I don't have much money, so who knows how long it will take to go? "When I saw that face, I was ready to refuse but agreed to him.

The Seventh Prison is indeed relatively wealthy, except for the Northeast where I rushed to prison with me, everyone else has ordered, and cigarettes and instant noodles are the best-selling goods. Except for Wu Jianguo, Boss Xu bought Yuxi, and everyone else bought red plums, which made the foreign workers more determined to have a good relationship with Wu Jianguo.

During the period between his sentence and his final release from prison, I wrote three letters for him, and his cadres called him three times, all for the purpose of getting his family to send him some more money, but there was no reply. Zhao Changping told me a few times when he felt hopeless, saying that he would help me work to pay the cigarette money he owed me, but after each task was divided, I had already completed it with the help of Boss Xu, so it was over.

In the evening, when everyone was chatting, Xia Cadre opened the iron door of the cell and came in, bringing in a fat man with shackles on his feet. Boss Xu touched me, who was reading the chicken soup for the soul in "Reader", and said, "The fat man from the Sixth Prison, why did he come to our number?" ”

Looking at the fat man with a sideways face squinting his eyes and probing around, I said suspiciously: "How long has it been, why are you still wearing shackles?" How did you get to our cell? ”

After saying a few words to Wu Jianguo, Xia Guan clapped his hands and said: "The seventh prison has one more person today, and if you make a mistake, you will have to wear three days of shackles." Fatty, let me tell you, you have also suffered this time, and when you come to the Seventh Prison, let me be honest, it's not that you can't do anything, if you still make trouble like before, I will directly throw you into the strict prison. When I go to the prison cell and listen to the arrangement of the learner, I will take the set in your society for me. ”

The fat man seemed to have practiced changing his face, and immediately put on a seemingly harmless smile and said to Xia Cadre: "No, no, Xia Cadre, don't worry, I will seriously reform, work hard, and no longer cause trouble for you." I'm going to follow the rules, I'm going to take a shower right away, I know the rules. ”

It is very troublesome to take off your pants with shackles, you have to take off the pants of one leg first, and then slowly pull out the pants from the iron ring on the leg from the other leg, when the fat man slowly took off his pants by the pool, Boss Xu asked Xia Cadre: "Xia Cadre, why did you get this evil star to the Seventh Prison, let him go back to the Sixth Prison?" ”

Xia Gan ignored the fat man who was undressing and preparing to take a bath, walked to the cell where he was sleeping and resting, and said to everyone: "He went to the sixth prison and was not as lawless as before, the whole prison room made him afraid, Wu Jianguo, there is no special arrangement for him, what should be done in the number." ”

After taking a cold shower, the fat man dragged his shackles to the inner cell and asked, "Brother Jian, I know you, the foreign worker used to say that the boss of the Seventh Prison and Cadre Xia were classmates, what should I do now?" Registration information, right? Who is responsible for the registration? Come and register me. ”

I took out the roster of detainees, beckoned to the fat man, and motioned for him to come over.

Wu Jun, twenty-seven years old, asked him what he had committed when he came in, the fat man looked up at me and said, "I don't know, there are many things, I have been interrogated several times and said that there was intentional injury, extortion, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, you can write casually." Pretty much all of these things have been done anyway. ”

"What was the charge you were guilty of when you approved the arrest?" I ignored his words and interrupted him and asked.

"I don't remember, you can write whatever you want, what's wrong, when you're a case officer? Just write one and you're done. The fat man said impatiently.

"Okay, then I'll write it all down for you, do you see if there's anything left to add?" I asked after writing down all the items he said to the fat man in the cause of the crime column.

"Brother Jian, what bunk do I sleep in?" The fat man got up and asked Wu Jianguo after registering.

Wu Jianguo looked at him, pointed at me and said, "Zhou Shaoqing is responsible for arranging the bunk duty in the cell, just ask him." ”

I paused for a moment, and immediately thought that Wu Jianguo didn't want to offend the fat man, and Cadre Xia said that he would not make special arrangements, so he brought this ball to me.

Obviously, no one else in the cell expected Wu Jianguo to make such an arrangement, they all looked at me, and Boss Xu stopped talking when he wanted to. I looked around and said, "Of course, you will be the last to come to the shop, and you will be on the fourth shift tonight, and someone will tell you to get up and be on duty at that time." After saying that, he ignored him, and went to the wind room to wash his clothes.

When I was on the first shift, I was still two people with Wang Yongfei, and it was rare that he didn't find much to chat with, so he was silent for a long time and touched me with his foot and asked softly: "That fat man doesn't look like a good person, you arrange for him to sleep at the back and arrange for him to be on the last shift, are you okay?" ”

"What's the matter? Didn't Cadre Xia say that you should follow the rules? Isn't that the rule? I said lightly.

"No, he's different, be careful that he hates you, it's not good to do something." Wang Yongfei kicked me again, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, what difference can it make? How dare he beat me? If he hits me, won't I fight back? Besides, are you an ornament? It's okay for you to take down the two of them alone. I smiled lightly and said to Wang Yongfei.

"Did you mean to?" Wang Yongfei asked me suspiciously.

"Well, almost, I heard Boss Xu say so many things, but I just can't get used to him, I really think of myself as the king of people, I seem to be quite proud when I register, I really see myself as a big brother in the underworld? If you really have the ability, don't get involved, why are you arrogant to a group of vulnerable groups when you get here? He has to have the ability to see what he can do to me, to be honest, I am not worthy of him, everyone is in prison, and he is not the person who will have any dealings in the future, why should I get used to him? If Cadre Xia said that he was the object to be taken care of by waterway, I would arrange him to the bunk in front of me today, since the cadre didn't say it, then I have to follow the rules. Besides, if he wants to trouble me because he slept in the last bunk and was on the last shift, I really don't mind sending him to the strict custody again. ”

"I always think that he will do something when he comes, you better be careful, and I will help you pay attention." Wang Yongfei thought for a while and said, "Look at the way he looks at people, just like a wolf." ”

"If the jackal comes, he'll be greeted with a shotgun! Have you ever learned this song? When I was in junior high school, my teacher taught me. I quipped.
