Chapter 7 [Deliberation Before Digging]

"The wall on the left side of your cell is ten feet thick, but it's actually two walls, the middle is empty, and you just have to dig through four feet thick!"

In the corner of the sports field, Chen Ze leaned against the wall, drawing a simple topographical map of the prison on his toes.

He had already informed the other party of this, and he repeated it again at this time, explaining it in more detail.

When people have a rush in things, they do things with half the effort, and he always believes this.

"Four Feet ......"

Andy's brow was furrowed, and his toes were gesturing on the ground, and the thickness of such a was extremely amazing.

Obviously, he had to think not only about the tools, but also about the time, and the problems that would not be discovered, which was too difficult.

But that's just the first step.

"These four feet are the hardest part, and with this part done, the rest is not a problem."

Chen Ze continued to explain softly while paying attention to the guards around him in the distance.

"After four feet, there's a mezzanine space, like a sandwich with minced meat, and the middle layer is empty.

And below this, is a sewer pipe! This drain pipe leads all the way to the perimeter of the prison! The only way out is on this drain! ”

Hearing this, Andy glanced up at him, "As far as I know, the drainage pipes in the prison are all cast iron!" ”

His meaning was simple, the drain was cast iron, and if you could suddenly pull him open, even if it was four feet through the wall, it would be in vain.

Chen Ze shook his head: "The drainage pipe at the end of the passage is a porcelain pipe installed more than ten years ago, you know how strong this thing is, you can smash it open with a stone when the time comes!"

Andy's eyelids twitched, and the surprise in his eyes was almost beyond words.

The other party explained in such detail and knew so much about the passage, as if he had already experienced it in person, which made him a little indescribably weird.

Truth be told, he was moved.

Thinking of such a life, he will stay here for countless years, and he will be coveted by those special hobbies, he is like a thorn in his back.

It is only after being in such a place that you understand the preciousness of freedom.

Besides, he was still wronged, and escaping prison did not have any psychological burden on him.

"Four feet is a bit thick...... I'm afraid it's going to take a long time. ”

Andy frowned slightly, thinking in his heart, thoughtful.

Chen Ze: "Isn't there a shortage of time in prison? ”

Andy laughed dumbly.

"Tools, what do you do with the sand!"

Chen Ze asked, if the other party hadn't thought of this, he would remind him that it was the other party's own idea anyway.

"Unfortunately, I have a special hobby, so I know that something is very suitable, as for sand, I think this sports field is very large, and it should be normal to drop a little dust from my body, as for the hole in the wall, ......"

"Rita Hayworth."

"Huh?"

"Don't you think Liva Hayworth isn't very beautiful, so you don't want to have her in the room?"

"Poster."

Andy was stunned for a moment, remembering to say these two words, and then laughed.

In a sense, he felt that the other party's thoughts seemed to coincide with his.

"However, now there will be another problem, since the establishment of Shawshank Prison, the number of people is sufficient, all use a single room, this problem is not big, but it is inevitable that the cells will be changed after a period of time, this is a problem!

Moreover, if the inspection is very careful, it is difficult for those guards to skip the posters on the wall! Unless you have a good relationship with the Praetorian Guards. ”

"I will solve this problem, not only will I carve some stones, but I will also understand some tax things, and I believe that the prison will not lack a shrewd lawyer."

Andy's words are actually modest enough, as a vice president of the trust department of a big bank in Portland, to be an accountant in prison, is like shooting mosquitoes with a cannon.

In fact, Andy in the previous movie did the same.

Although in 1948 the administration of prisons was not as formalized as it is today, the necessary rounds.

Everyone has a sense of reciprocity, and it is not a strange thing for Andy to provide them with high-value help, in exchange for some prison guards to take care of them during the inspection, without violating their duties, and to have more space.

As for not changing cells, it is natural for Andy to give higher value to the prison management, and it is not difficult to understand that he helped the prison warden Norton launder money in exchange for some privileges in life.

Chen Ze nodded when he heard this, he didn't have any surprises or problems with the way Andy said.

Without such a value swap, that poster, while easy to overlook, would be discovered sooner or later.

"Then, when the passage is dug through, how will you get out!"

It's a question, but it goes straight to the point.

Andy would never think that Chen Ze was kind, just to let him out, and he was still in prison.

If this is the case, he will have to consider the feasibility of the plan.

Indeed, Chen Ze had already thought of this question before, but there was no good way for the time being, and when he was asked about the Fa at this time, he was also silent for a while.

His cell wasn't on the side of the pipe.

He had thought of using the same way to stand posters on both sides of the wall, and he would dig through them, and then borrow the passage that Andy had dug through.

But he gave up thinking about it, the same way is not dazzling, and he didn't think he had enough luck with Andy.

Suddenly, he remembered the octagonal hammer in his equipment, and his eyes lit up.

"You said that with a sledgehammer, can you smash a big hole in that wall?"

Andy's face was slightly stunned, thinking to himself what the hell this Asian young man was asking, and continued to answer, "Of course there is no problem." ”

After being reminded by the other party, he looked at the walls of the cell, which were different from the newly built buildings in the outside world, and looked quite old, and looked sturdy on the outside, but in fact they were unsatisfactory and easy to penetrate the rain.

As long as it rains, these walls become very damp, in short, he has repaired two or three geology courses, and he can still see some things, these walls, in fact, are not as strong as imagined.

At least, it's far worse than the walls of the factory building that was built later.

This is also the reason why he thinks that the wall can still be dug through, and he doesn't feel strange when he hears the other party's thoughts.

The partition wall of the cell is not even half a foot, and if you hit it with a sledgehammer, you can naturally quickly smash through it.

The question is, what are you doing as those guards to break through the wall in the prison, and besides, what a big hammer is that, Andy didn't think that old black man Red could be so powerful.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that for his problem, it is not a problem for Chen Ze at all.

When he heard Andy's tone, he realized that his question was inaccurate, and just asked again, "You said, the fastest few hammers can be smashed through!" ”

"If you're strong enough, four or five strokes! Should! ”

Andy didn't understand why Chen Ze was entangled in this, such an impossible thing.

But Chen Ze was very satisfied when he heard this answer.
