The heart of compassion is also the end of benevolence; The heart of shame is also the end of righteousness; The heart of resignation, the end of courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, the end of wisdom.

At this time, it was the morning of July 19, 2018, and there was still nearly a day before the start of the second round of the game Guess the House, and three people had been eliminated one after another in the previous two days, so by now, no one dared to leave their room without any scruples.

"Knock Knock"

There are four people living in room No. 2, namely Gu Yi, Ye Wei, Bai Chu and He Anqi, a lot of things have happened in just two days, at this time there are only two big men left in the room, Gu Yi and Ye Wei, hearing the knock on the door, the two glanced at each other, and finally Gu Yi got up and opened the door.

Outside the door stood a middle-aged man around fifty-five years old, not tall, just over 1.7 meters, with gray hair, but he felt very refined, and when he saw him, he would inexplicably think of Watson in Detective Sherlock, a very similar image.

In fact, his experience is indeed in line with his outward manifestation, this person is named Zheng Feng, a prison guard at the East City Prison, and the number 23 player in this group of survivor games.

The person he came to find was naturally Ye Wei, and the two also had an indissoluble bond.

The prison where Ye Wei was serving his sentence was the EAST City Prison, located on the outskirts of EAST City, near a newly developed villa area. Zheng Feng works here, and because of his wife's relationship, he bought a small villa at a low price, which is also convenient to go back and forth.

Zheng Feng was transferred here six years ago, where he worked as a prison guard for two years, and was transferred further away for various reasons.

"Are you...... Captain Zheng? ”

After Gu Yi opened the door, Zheng Feng came straight to Ye Wei, Ye Wei stared at him for a long time before he slowly choked back these words from between his teeth.

"It's me." Zheng Feng raised the corners of his mouth to the most appropriate height, squeezing out the deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, looking loving and serious, but from his deep eyes, he could see something more terrifying: "You kid don't learn well, what kind of crooked tricks do you want to do when you participate in this kind of game?" ”

"Captain Zheng, how dare I." Ye Wei usually gives people an unfathomable feeling, and he never thought that when he faced the prison guards back then, his tone was as flattering as a pug: "Isn't this a crime that broke up his wife and wanted to make a lot of money!" ”

"Comeback? Keep doing your MLM? Zheng Feng's expression was smiling when he said this, but from his brisk tone, he could feel an invisible pressure, maybe he had been a prison guard for a long time, otherwise how could he deter those strange prisoners.

"If you make a mistake once, you won't do it a second time!" Seeing that this topic couldn't be avoided, Ye Wei hurriedly moved to the table, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Zheng Feng, and took out a match to wipe the fire: "Come on, Captain Zheng, you smoke, smoke......"

Zheng Feng sandwiched the cigarette between his middle finger and index finger, the filter was on his lips, and the whole cigarette was less than a centimeter away from the match handed by Ye Wei, but he didn't mean to light a cigarette, he watched the match in Ye Wei's hand burn out motionlessly, and then looked at Ye Wei, even if his fingers were burned by the fire, he didn't mean to blow out the match, but just waited for it to slowly burn out at his fingertips.

Seeing that the fire was extinguished, Zheng Feng no longer spoke, but handed the cigarette back to Ye Wei and said coldly: "Quit it." ”

"Hey, hey." Ye Wei made a promise, his head was very low, he could feel that his fingers had been burned to blister, but what he experienced back then was much more cruel than this bubble: "That, Captain Zheng, or ......"

"Hey, I can't afford it, you call me Lao Zheng." Zheng Feng said so, but his tone couldn't hide his arrogance: "Let's go, let's go down and talk about the old days by the way." ”

"That's a good feeling!" Ye Wei smiled: "But I have to trouble Brother Zheng, wait a minute, I'll clean up." ”

"You clean up yours, I'll go back and make a fuss, and I'll see you at the door of the building at twelve o'clock."

"Oh, okay." Ye Wei ran to the door to open the door for Zheng Feng and sent him out.

In fact, since he was released from prison, Ye Wei has no habit of sleeping lazy, it is already more than ten o'clock in the morning, three or four hours after he got up, and what should have been cleaned up has already been cleaned up. He didn't have any plans to go out today, but since he met an old friend, he couldn't spoil the fun.

Ye Wei has a military backpack that he often carries on his back, no one knows what is in it, at this time he walked to the washing machine in the bathroom, and through the shelf fixed on the wall, he took out a black plastic bag, the plastic bag seemed to be in it, a little heavy, Ye Wei put it in his hand and put it in the bag behind him.

It was six years ago that I met Zheng Feng, and that year was the fifth year of Ye Wei's sentence, the original prison guard was transferred, and Zheng Feng took his place.

But having said that, Zheng Feng is not a good person, he was transferred to the East Corner City Prison, because in the scope of his previous jurisdiction, the prisoners jointly reported to him for bribery and reselling prohibited items without permission.

But even when he arrived at the East Corner City Prison, Zheng Feng's previous behavior did not restrain at all, but intensified. He worked there for two years, and those two years were also the most unbearable two years in the first half of Ye Wei's life.

……

Two years ago, EAST City Prison.

"Okay, let's do it here today, everyone go back with me first, and someone wants to take you to get to know you." The leader of the team suddenly stopped what he was doing and gathered the prisoners together.

Ye Wei was a little impatient, he got up from the shade of the tree, patted the soil on his body, walked to the front of the team, and followed the leader back to the room.

The structure of this place may be different from other prisons, it has four floors, a rotunda in the middle, and is surrounded by houses next to each other, each room is about 30 square meters in size, but it has to live nearly 20 people.

When Ye Wei returned to the room, he found that the prisoners from the other rooms had arrived, and everyone was standing on the handrail at the door of the room in an orderly manner, everything was in order, as if they were waiting for something.

Ye Wei glanced at the wall clock on the central pillar, the time was less than half past five in the afternoon, it stands to reason that the usual dinner time should be at six o'clock in the evening, but I don't know why it was so early today.

At this time, under everyone's gaze, a man in a police uniform came from outside, the man was around fifty years old, although he was not young, but he gave people a feeling of being capable and neat.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zheng Feng, I was transferred here from the Capital Prison, from now on, I will be the warden here, you can call me Zheng Guan or Captain Zheng. In addition, whether it is a prisoner or a prison guard, you have to pass me if you have any problems, and my request is to be safe and orderly, and to be a new person. No matter where I am, my demands will not change, scattered. ”

Zheng Feng's Ye Wei has seen a lot, he has been serving his sentence here for the fifth year, and every prison guard will give people a sense of selflessness at the beginning, but after a month, their true colors will be revealed.

The reality is true, Ye Wei relied on the small treasury hidden by the pyramid scheme back then, and opened up a lot of relationships, and cooperated with the prison guards to transport some prohibited items such as tobacco and alcohol, and then sold them at a high price, which is equivalent to an investment and makes a lot of money.

But Zheng Feng's arrival meant that the previous prison warden was transferred, and the purchase channels that Ye Wei had accumulated over the years were suddenly cut off. In this case, everything has to be pulled back together.

"Now, Captain Zheng, come and have a taste."

On the third day after Zheng Feng was officially transferred to the East Corner City Prison, Ye Wei handed him an expensive cigarette, which was the most valuable cigarette he had in hand, and it was usually used to honor the prison guards with good relations.

Ye Wei was a little cautious of his own, he handed this cigarette to win over Zheng Feng, on the one hand, to let Zheng Feng know that he was very rich in hand, and he had a line with himself to cover him with oil and water. On the other hand, Zheng Feng should understand that if he can get expensive cigarettes, he can naturally do wine business here.

"Where did this come from?" Zheng Feng was not polite, put the filter in his mouth, and let Ye Wei light a cigarette for him.

"Hey, isn't this just a line, our Lao Liu, who transports materials every time, is responsible for the purchase, and then the inspector knows who will release it, and then transfer it to you and sell it to everyone, which is equivalent to an industrial chain, you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong." Seeing that Zheng Feng seemed to be very interested in these, the fish took the bait, and Ye Wei did not shy away from talking about it.

"So, how do you divide it?" Zheng Feng put the filter between his teeth, and his words were a little slurred, but Ye Wei really listened to them.

"That's right, because it depends on me in terms of getting through the relationship and the cost, so I get six points, one point for the purchase, one point for the security check, and two points for the previous prison warden. After all, this kind of thing, the cost alone accounts for half, so it is equivalent to me only taking one cent of profit. I felt that Zheng Feng was very interested in this, and Ye Wei explained it in detail in order to make it clear to him, for fear that he would not be satisfied with the distribution of profits.

"Cheng, then let's come to the next big one." Zheng Feng smoked half of the cigarette in his mouth, and he threw it on the ground without hesitation, Ye Wei received the instruction and had already thought about what to do, in order to impress Zheng Feng with himself, he had decided to invest all the costs the first time.

After Zheng Feng left, Ye Wei saw that half of the cigarette butt on the ground was still burning, and it was a pity to pick it up and smoke two more puffs before putting it away, cigarettes are prohibited here, Ye Wei didn't dare to throw them away at will, this kind of thing has to wait until the time is ripe to find someone to take it out.

About three or two days later, Lao Liu, who had purchased the goods, came again, Ye Wei gave all his assets to Lao Liu, and quietly waited to make a big profit, but he didn't expect that he would almost ruin his next prison career.

"Ye Wei, you go and tell everyone that from today onwards, the price of all tobacco, alcohol and snacks will increase by 20%. Including the use of mobile phones, you have to go through me. ”
