Chapter Seventy-Four: Degas's Situation
On the ordinary prison square of Butterfly Island, the prisoners sat on the ground in rows under the guard of the jailers.
This is an important moment.
Every time the warden puts on this posture, it means that an escaped prisoner has been arrested.
The warden was to execute the chickens in public and show the dogs.
And today is more special.
There was no guillotine, no shroud.
Just on a cross on the steps, a thin young man with glasses was tied.
"It's Degas......"
Many of the old prisoners identified him at a glance.
Degas was a financial fraudster who was said to be very wealthy before his arrest.
It is rumored that he had operated on a surgeon before coming in, and he had devoured several 'capsules', and these special capsules were wrapped in plastic and could hide many things inside, such as dollars, francs, and the like.
After the capsule is swallowed into the stomach, it can be excreted through the excretory function of the intestines when needed.
There is no shortage of quick-thinking people in prison, and all of them are talented.
They will do whatever it takes to survive or find a way to escape.
And hiding capsules in the large intestine is only one of the small means, and only those sand sculptures of the jailers are hidden.
"Could it be that the secret in the capsule was discovered by the jailers? Want to stab Degas's belly for treasure? ”
Many of the prisoners thought of this for the first time, and at the same time regretted it in their hearts, knowing that the peach was picked by the warden, they should not have been merciful in the first place.
"Alas......"
Know that the physical scarcity in the prison, the small outflow of dollars or francs is important to every prisoner present, who can use the money to buy a small boat, ride the wind and waves to the other side, and avoid the dangerous sea of shark stalls.
You can also bribe the jailer to get yourself an easy and good job.
Now, there's no chance.
The warden has taken action, where is their turn to drink soup.
If it weren't for the mercenary named Zhou Zunfeng guarding the front, the treasure in Degas's body, how could it not be the warden's turn to pick up ready-made bargains?
The prisoners speculated in their hearts, and many of them showed fierce looks, staring at Degas's thin body, as if they wanted to peel off the skin and directly pull out the capsule hidden in the large intestine and believed that they already had it.
There are also many prisoners with different thoughts, waiting for the warden's methods.
Is it public dissection?
Or strangulation first, in the process of disposing of the corpse?
Either way, Degas's situation is worse than death.
The Bundesliga, tied to the cross, hung its head and dying, was bare-roasted by the sun, without food and fresh water, and was whipped once by the jailers.
His body was already weak.
The heart is full of holes and death.
Silently waiting for the final execution to come.
"At this time, Zhou Zunfeng should sail out to sea, right?" In Degas's heart, he carefully preserved this last trace of beautiful imagination.
He always said I was useless.
If it weren't for the money in my belly, the coconut meat in his mouth, and the iron cone that pried open the wall, who would have helped him get it?
The first meeting between the two stemmed from a transaction.
Degas paid to help Zhou Zunfeng escape from prison, Zhou Zunfeng was responsible for Degas's safety in prison, just helping, and the two gradually became friends, and in Degas's heart, he always felt that he owed each other a lot.
Now, all the love owed has been repaid, right?
After all, I even took my life.
After Old Zhou Tou confessed, Degas's support for Zhou Zunfeng's coconut meat and iron cone had been known to the warden, and if Zhou Zunfeng was hunted down by the jailers and those vampire hunters, the ending waiting for both of them had been arranged.
Zhou Zunfeng is confined for two years, Degas is confined for half a year, and there is a high probability that both of them will die in the confinement room.
Degas opened his mouth, his throat was dry and smoking, and his black and white eyes glanced through the broken glass frame at the gate at the end of the square.
"I wish he could escape!"
One person is dead, and two people are also dead, so it is better to let him face it alone.
It's just that in this way, I am a little lonely, and I don't know if Lao Zhoutou can survive it.
The thought in Degas's mind swirled around until it turned into a soft, hoarse sigh.
Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the passage outside the square.
"Coming, coming......"
Everyone involuntarily turned their heads, wanting to see if Zhou Zunfeng, who was famous in prison, could escape the joint pursuit of the jailers and hunters, and even Degas raised his head with a strong spirit.
The first to enter everyone's eyes were only three people and three riders.
The two jailers dismounted first, threw down their whips, and ran towards the warden's office on the steps.
And Zhou Zunfeng, who everyone is most concerned about, is still nowhere to be seen.
"Have you escaped to sea?"
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and a burst of envy poured out inexplicably.
Hate it, but I have to admire Zhou Zunfeng's methods, and he can escape and ascend to heaven in an ironclad prison.
Gee...... You won't be overturned by the waves and fall into the sea to feed the sharks, right?
After another moment, the two jailers who had just entered appeared on the steps with gloomy faces, "said the warden, taking the prisoners back to the prison. Then he pointed his hand to the Bundesliga on the cross.
"Take him back to the confinement room, confinement for half a year, and halve the food."
A happy smile finally appeared on the corners of Degas's lowered eyes, "He escaped...... That's great! ”
Before he could sigh, two jailers untied the rope and walked towards the confinement prison with their arms crossed.
Degas's mind saw a picture of Zhou Zunfeng drifting on the sea in a small boat, and then he fell into darkness.
Or encouraged by Zhou Zunfeng's successful escape from prison, there was another escape incident in an ordinary prison that night.
One prisoner took the opportunity to injure his arm, and while seeking medical treatment in the infirmary, he brutally killed the doctor and escaped with the key.
He chose to escape from prison in broad daylight and killed someone?
The prison was immediately a sensation.
The warden had an unwritten rule that if a prisoner caused the death of a jailer during the escape process, he would be arrested and guillotined.
This bloody and exciting way of escaping from prison is more popular with melon-eating prisoners, and many people have begun to look forward to the bloody scene on the guillotine.
……
Upper Mushroom River.
In the pile of rocks behind the wooden house, Chen Fei looked at Li Yunqing's figure running wildly on the path, and couldn't hide his surprise in his heart.
"Did this guy escape too?"
"Or in broad daylight?"
Li Yunqing's footwork staggered and stumbled towards the direction of the wooden house.
Behind him, the faint voice of a hound came.
It wasn't completely dark yet, and the two had a fight when they were in a regular prison.
Li Yunqing is one of the people who peeked at the baby in Degas's belly.
He came to the Vietnamese Navy, became a deserter, and later appeared in the Butterfly Island International Prison.
