Chapter 20, pure black
When Xi Xingchen thought of arresting Yao Wenbin, a trace of panic flashed in Yao Wenbin's eyes at first. When he learned that Xi Xingchen was going to send him to prison, Yao Wenbin didn't even resist except showing a weird smile.
Xi Xingchen didn't understand why Yao Wenbin could still laugh at that time, but now he understands that it was because he was confident.
Yao Wenbin just wanted Xi Xingchen to report to the officials so that they could take Yang Xuelian back without any effort.
In fact, Xi Xingchen has also thought about the consequences of reporting to the official, and whether the Yao family has any relationship with people in the county government.
Xi Xingchen believed at the time that even if someone in the county government colluded with the Yao family, after Dong Liangce handed over the victims, suspects, and accomplices to the county government according to normal procedures, even if the Wan County magistrate wanted to protect Yao Wenbin, There must be a minimum trial process!
As long as the Wan County magistrate goes to court to hear the case, Xi Xingchen can present the confessions of Yao Wenbin, Yao Daqiang, and Yao Agou at the trial scene, and can even invite the best lawyers from the Mo family to help Yang Xuelian fight the lawsuit. .
In short, as long as the case trial process is entered, Xi Xingchen will bring Yao Wenbin's family to justice even if he uses the power of the Mohist family.
But what Xi Xingchen didn't expect was that Wan County Magistrate Dai Andong and the Yao family never thought of going through the formal process. They chose the simplest and fastest way - to kill and silence.
In the final analysis, Xi Xingchen's lack of social experience seriously underestimated the evil side of human nature.
Now, Xi Xingchen can only pray for God's blessing, and Yang Xuelian is still in the county government office.
Yao Wenbin and Dong Liangce, the official of the county government, even dared to kill the family, which shows that he is a completely inhuman madman. Xi Xingchen couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be if a helpless woman like Yang Xuelian fell into his hands.
After Xi Xingchen rushed to the county government office, he originally wanted to go to the county government office to find Yang Xuelian, but when he arrived at the county government office gate, he hesitated.
When Dong Liangce transferred Yang Xuelian and Yao Wenbin to the county government, Wan County Magistrate Dai Andong imprisoned Yao Wenbin, while Yang Xuelian was placed in the county government hall.
The people living in the county government hall were all female relatives, and Xi Xingchen didn't know which room Yang Xuelian was placed in. In the middle of the night, he couldn't be a grown man looking for room after room in the county government hall, right?
Since Xi Xingchen couldn't go to the county government office, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran to the prison.
To prove whether Wan County Magistrate Dai Andong colluded with the Yao family, it would be clear to go to the prison and see if Yao Wenbin is still there.
In Wan County Prison, cell leader Wang Dabao yawned, got up from the bed, put on some clothes and lit a lantern.
At nine o'clock every day, Wang Dabao would go around the prison. This was a habit he had developed over many years of guarding the prison.
Wang Dabao was originally a spy hired by the magistrate of Wan County. When he was dissecting a corpse, he accidentally cut his finger with the scalpel and was infected with corpse poison. Although he later saved his life, the hand holding the knife was left disabled and he could no longer handle a dissection knife.
Fortunately, Wang Dabao's apprentice took over his class and became the county government's assistant. With the help of his apprentice, Wang Dabao found a job in the prison, so he didn't have to worry about his livelihood.
Compared with the outside world, the prison belongs to another world, because the people who live here are either roosters, dog robbers, or treacherous criminals; of course, there are also unlucky people who have been imprisoned unjustly.
Here, there is no so-called black and white, there is only one color, and that is pure black.
The most sinister things in human nature that cannot be seen in the normal world, or are deliberately hidden, are the basis of survival here.
To be honest, for Wang Dabao, who has been dealing with corpses for half his life, he still likes it here, because here he doesn't have to think hard to figure out whether a person is good or bad, good or evil, loyal or traitorous. Anyone who comes here will be called a prisoner by Wang Dabao.
Since the prison is a place where prisoners live, death is commonplace. Especially in the second half of the night, especially the two hours before dawn, the prison will be particularly eerie and terrifying. Those prisoners who have been tortured during the day will probably not survive the night if they do not receive medical treatment.
With more people dying abnormally, various ghost stories will naturally appear in the cells. For example, the prisoner's ghost will appear in a certain cell at a certain time on a certain day to cry out for injustice. If someone is not careful, If you are haunted by his ghost, you will soon have bad luck.
Stories like this, if there is a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, every prison guard can tell them for three days and three nights, and there will never be a repeat.
Because of this, the yamen guards guarding the prison were unwilling to stay till midnight.
Since Wang Dabao had been dealing with corpses for the first half of his life, he was very courageous. When he first came to the prison, he applied for this job. Over time, Wang Dabao became a thorn in the side of the night, even if he is now at the level of the cell leader. , in order to take care of the brothers who came later, he still took on the responsibility of watching over the rest of the night.
That night, Wang Dabao woke up at his most normal time. As usual, he prepared to go to the prison for a walk, come back and have a drink, and then have a good night's sleep.
As soon as Wang Dabao entered the prison, a gust of wind blew over and blew out the lantern in Wang Dabao's hand.
"Oh, what a ghost today!" Wang Dabao smiled.
In fact, Wang Dabao knew that this was a natural phenomenon. This is because the prison has not seen sunlight for many years, and the temperature inside the prison is three to five degrees Celsius lower than outside. This is why everyone who has never been to the prison will feel the wind here when they first enter the prison. .
Wang Dabao lit the lantern again and immediately saw a man covered in blood standing in front of him.
As soon as he saw this person, he was startled and quickly took two steps back, his eyes involuntarily looking behind him.
Under the light, there was a long shadow behind the man.
This man covered in blood was Xi Xingchen who came to the prison from the county government.
"Let me ask you something, is the prisoner sent here tonight still in the prison?" Xi Xingchen asked.
Because he was in a bad mood, Xi Xingchen's tone was rather harsh.
"I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, leave immediately and pretend you didn't see you." Unknowingly, Wang Dabao's tone became a little angry.
Being frightened in the middle of the night, no one's temper was much better.
Wang Dabao has dissected countless corpses in his life, and he has a very strong evil spirit. Especially when he is angry, his momentum is very frightening.
Wang Dabao is fifty-six years old this year. He learned a few self-defense skills from others when he was young. Although he has been in prison these years, he has not let go of his skills. Therefore, his body is still strong. One or two ordinary people cannot even think of getting close to him. , this was also his confidence when he saw Xi Xingchen covered in blood.
