Blackstone Code Chapter 1336: Car accident
Sometimes, inexplicably, people are startled by certain sounds because of certain things.
It's like...suddenly someone opened the door, suddenly someone spoke, and suddenly there was some noise from somewhere.
These sounds are normal, they don't have to be weird, they are usually heard, but at this time, they will become unusual.
When the phone rang, the warden pressed his hands on the armrest of the chair, and was about to stand up, but the next second, he was startled by the sudden ringing of the phone.
The harsh ringing of the phone echoes through the office, each time giving a needle-like pain.
It obviously doesn't hurt, but it just makes people feel pain, like a needle stinging itself somewhere.
It's not serious, you won't be able to stand up because of the sting, but you can't ignore it either.
The phone is still ringing, beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping...
The pores on the back of the universe began to tighten. From a microscopic perspective, a "tsunami" was rapidly sweeping the entire top of the head from the back of the neck.
His scalp was slightly numb, and after the phone rang several times, he picked up the phone.
He knew that if he didn't answer the phone, the phone would keep ringing because it kept ringing.
"You finally answered the phone..."
The voice on the phone made him somewhat uneasy. It was his wife's phone.
"What's the matter?" Before his wife could finish, the warden interrupted her.
His heartbeat began to speed up, and the other hand gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, with increasing force, as if it could be broken anytime, anywhere.
There was no bad news on the phone.
"Have you forgotten?"
"Tomorrow is Kesey's graduation ceremony. We agreed to go together. You'd better come back early."
Cosey is the warden's son, a high school student, and has been in contact with a suitable university. After the summer vacation, he can report to the new school.
Looking at the date, tomorrow is the last day of Cosey's high school career.
The Commonwealth is very free, but also very romantic, and sometimes pursues a sense of ritual.
They are very concerned about some special days, like wedding anniversaries, dating anniversaries and the like.
And in this long and short life, graduation from high school is also a very important day.
Because of it, it represents a person who officially moves from immaturity to maturity.
Many children leave home after high school.
This sentence may make some people who are not familiar with federal culture do not understand. Is there any inevitable relationship between graduating high school and leaving home?
Actually there is. If we introduce this high school graduation ceremony more vividly, it is actually equivalent to Gavra's coming of age ceremony, which is a very important ceremony in life.
Regardless of whether they will continue their studies after graduating from high school or enter the society directly, these young teenagers will leave their families and try to form their own family atmosphere.
Lynch and Katherine started living together after high school, and they were not alone.
There are many more people who move out of home after high school and find a job.
Their families of origin no longer cover their living expenses, and they have to worry about their future.
The same is true for school. Leaving home, going to school, and entering society directly after finishing school is an important process, and it is the same for everyone.
Can't miss such an important day, the warden breathed a sigh of relief, this is not bad news, "I will go back later, and will definitely not miss the graduation ceremony tomorrow."
His child Kesai is in high school in a city not far away, and it only takes about an hour by car.
His wife hung up the phone after admonishing him a few more times.
At this time, everything around was not like before answering the phone, which made him feel uncomfortable, even horrified, he stood up and looked around, isn't this his office?
In the cell, he sees Old Fox.
Old Fox just had afternoon tea.
Although he is locked up, there will be no shortage of supplies that he should have.
And he didn't participate in the fights of those people, he was just a "bystander".
Besides, dealing with those around him is enough to "warn" him, there is no need to continue to use some means against an old man, he firmly believes that no one can escape his control here.
"It looks like you're satisfied with today's meal." The warden entered the room, and the warden brought a chair in and let the warden sit down.
He glanced at some of the dim sum leftovers on the dinner plate. The strong aroma of tea wafted in the air. It was afternoon tea time.
The prison will give everyone thirty minutes at this time to rest and enjoy afternoon tea.
Includes prisoners who are "bought" to work as coolies, who also get a moment of relaxation.
Do you think the environment or conditions here are too good?
No!
Ninety percent of inmates are reluctant to enjoy afternoon tea because it is mandatory and not cheap.
Like an ordinary person, the standard for afternoon tea is five yuan every day, and the prison can plunder one hundred and fifty yuan from each prisoner just at the afternoon tea every month.
Rejected?
There is no refusal to say so here.
Anyone can't pay?
It doesn't matter, just double the work. When others have gone to rest, you'd better keep working until you pay back all the money you owe today.
Every month, the warden can get thousands of dollars from people like Old Fox just for afternoon tea. How could he just let Old Fox leave?
Old Fox, who is sitting across from the warden, is grooming his beard, and when he comes in, he begins to grow his beard.
A man always has something to do, and a beard is what he has to do.
He wiped his beard with a towel and didn't look at the warden or answer his questions, as if he didn't know there was another person in the room.
This atmosphere lasted for about a minute or two, and the warden's expression suddenly became distorted.
He pulled out the rubber stick hanging from the captain's waist and slammed it on the bed next to Old Fox with a bang.
The whole bed was shaken by the huge force.
Old Fox glanced sideways at the rubber stick, which was within a palm of his hand, and then looked up at the warden.
"I was born in the country when I was a kid. I didn't like that place. I wanted to go to the big city."
"You know, children in the country yearn for the city."
"But I don't know what I can do, I'm always switching between different roles, which has made me encounter a lot of things."
"One time, someone tried to kill me, and his knife was about to slit my throat..."
Old Fox lifted his beard to reveal a scar on his chin, "See?"
The warden didn't answer, just continued to stare at the old man.
"I'll treat you as if you saw it." He continued while stroking his beard, "Later that person, he, and his entire family were killed by me."
"Life has taught me a truth over the years. If you have an enemy, you'd better kill him immediately, and don't give him the slightest chance for revenge."
"That's what I've experienced over the years."
He took another look at the rubber baton, with contempt and mockery on his face, "So you can't scare me, Warden."
"Our captain has a gun on his waist, you can pull it out and kill me, maybe I'll respect you more!"
Old Fox looked directly at the warden without fear at all, "Have you made up your mind now?"
For old Fox, he has killed and been hunted by many people in his life.
This scene is actually not on his mind at all.
And he also believed that the warden dared not do anything to himself.
If it was before these things happened, he might have dared, but after these things happened, he would not do it.
Old Fox certainly knew why they were provoked and locked up. He could feel the embarrassment of the warden at this time, because he came to "visit" himself after ordering the prison guard to lock himself up.
He's trying to save something.
The warden slowly got to his feet, if someone of the rank of Congressman hadn't called him ~IndoMTL.com~ to die alone in prison...too common.
Sometimes knowing too much can really make you less timid.
He looked at Old Fox, pointed at him, turned and left the room.
When leaving the cell here, he hesitated for a moment, "There's no need to feed them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."
He has to show his attitude, especially in front of his subordinates.
The captain nodded to show that he understood, and then the warden went back to his room, sat for a while, and was ready to leave when he got up.
He generally doesn't leave this place unless necessary.
In prison, he is the dictator here, the emperor.
But out of here, he'll be a normal person again.
He doesn't like this kind of status change.
Sitting in the car, the warden actually had some regrets in his heart.
He made something simple a little more complicated.
Maybe he still has a chance to make it back?
With these things in mind, he drives his car down the interstate.
The outline of the city in the distance has appeared on the horizon, and seeing the city getting closer and closer, his mood is somewhat relaxed.
But at this moment, suddenly a big truck quickly caught up from behind.
He didn't care at first, it was normal to have trucks going back and forth on the interstate.
But when the truck tried to approach him, he panicked.
He opened the co-pilot's toolbox, which contained a revolver, and he had a hunch that these things had something to do with him.
The distance between the two cars is getting shorter and shorter. The warden has put on the brakes all the way, but still can't get rid of the distance.
Until the car body shakes obviously and loses direction for a moment...
