Chapter 36: Chance

Hearing this, Jiang Chijing was stunned, and his first reaction was not to believe it.

He firmly said: "Impossible, Xu Sheng has been in prison for more than ten years, how can he escape?"

Having said that, he suddenly thought of another question, and immediately asked: "No, you are not familiar with him, how would you know that he is going to escape?"

"I'm really not familiar with him." Unlike Jiang Chijing's sudden acceleration of speech, Zheng Mingyi still said calmly, "But recently their group is very wrong."

"How do you say?" Jiang Chijing asked.

"Building No. 1 is renovating the cell, and the prisoners have been transferred to Building No. 2. Do you know this?" Zheng Mingyi asked.

Jiang Chijing probably knows that there is a plan to renovate the prison, but he has not paid attention to when it will be implemented.

"The refurbishment of the prison requires repainting many places." Zheng Mingyi said, "This part of the work is the responsibility of the painter team."

Speaking of lacquer workers, many of Xu Sheng’s group work in lacquer factories, including Lao Jiu.

"What does painting have to do with jailbreaking?" Jiang Chijing couldn't help asking.

"It's a bit complicated to say." Zheng Mingyi said, "The painters are divided into two groups, and they take turns to work overtime at No.1 Supervisory Building every night. Although overtime is paid for overtime, I think most of them are very resistant to the evening. Still have to work.

"People who don’t work overtime will work with other people to solve personal hygiene before 8 o’clock in the evening, but a few days ago, I suddenly discovered that Xu Sheng hadn’t come to the bathroom for several days. I work overtime in Building No. 2 and I won’t be back to Building No. 2 until around nine o'clock in the evening."

"What if he wants to make more money?" Jiang Chijing asked.

"It's possible, so I didn't care too much." Zheng Mingyi said, "But two days ago I went to the bathroom next to the strawberry planting shed, and happened to run into two paint factories coming out of it, and I vaguely heard a sentence ,'Make sure that the boss is in Building 1 that day'."

The lacquer factory and the planting shed share a separate bathroom, which Jiang Chijing only learned when someone visited last week. He asked: "What day?"

"I can't think of a special day for the renovation of the prison building. I thought that it might be the day when it was completed." Zheng Mingyi said, "But it doesn't have to go every day, and the completion of the renovation is not important. ."

Jiang Chijing thought for a while and said, "That means'that day' was a random event, and Xu Sheng must be there every day to just run into it."

"That's right." Zheng Mingyi smiled lightly, as if he didn't expect Jiang Chijing to be able to listen and analyze, "I thought about what kind of random events would happen, but I just thought about it, but I didn't Keep it in mind, I didn't start thinking about jailbreaking until I found out that Lao Jiu was not right two days ago."

"Old nine?" Jiang Chijing was thinking along, but unlike Zheng Mingyi, he was in contact with prisoners most of the time, and he didn't see anything wrong.

"He has jumped a bit recently." Zheng Mingyi said, "Maybe you don't know. He was very honest when he came back from the hospital, and he didn't dare to trouble me, but recently he felt like..."

After a pause, Zheng Mingyi seemed to be unable to find a good analogy, and said, "It seems that there is a throne to inherit."

"You mean, he is ensuring his status in prison?" Jiang Chijing said, "Therefore, it can be deduced that Xu Sheng may leave."

"Yes, don't you feel that way?" Zheng Mingyi said.

"A little bit." Jiang Chijing said, "I just handcuffed him. With such a small matter, he has to find face."

"After starting to think about this, the scope of the random event can be determined. It must be related to the outside." Zheng Mingyi said, "It happened to have lunch at noon yesterday. Next to me was a painter who had nothing to do with Xu Sheng. , I asked him, under what circumstances will outsiders come in."

Speaking of this, Zheng Mingyi stopped suddenly, just as if he was hanging his appetite, Jiang Chijing had to urge: "What's the situation?"

"The paint used for the renovation of the prison is different from the paint used in the paint factory. After a while, a supplier will send a second batch of paint."

"So Xu Sheng wants to go out? This is unlikely, unless the delivery person..." After a pause, Jiang Chijing changed his words again, "No, it is also possible. Xu Sheng has many contacts outside."

"Moreover, the supervision of cell building No. 1 is very loose recently, because all the prisoners have gone to building No. 2, and the attention of the prison guards is all over there.”

"But there will be strict inspections for vehicles entering and exiting, and there will be police dogs..." Jiang Chijing said and stopped.

"The paint smell is too strong, it will interfere with the sense of smell of the police dog." Zheng Mingyi said.

Adding up all these conditions, even Jiang Chijing felt that the right time, the right place, and the people.

But the reasoning is based on known information. If there is a situation that neither of them knows, then the conclusion may not be the case. And the most important point...

"Then Xu Sheng's motive?" Jiang Chijing still couldn't understand, "I don't think he would want to escape from prison."

"You can ask him directly." Zheng Mingyi said leisurely.

After talking about this, Jiang Chijing suddenly thought of a question, why Zheng Mingyi wanted to tell him this.

According to Zheng Mingyi's temperament, a person who doesn't even bother to take care of people in the community will definitely not take care of other people's affairs. He reasoned to reason, but no matter Xu Shengyue did not escape from prison, he shouldn't care about it.

And when he told Jiang Chijing about this at this time, he obviously understood Xu Sheng's personality and suddenly changed his mind and was willing to give him a chance to let Jiang Chijing stop him from committing the crime.

Jailbreaking is not a trivial matter. Even if the time and place are right, Xu Sheng really ran out, and he might be caught again later. Originally, based on his current performance, he might be able to commute his sentence indefinitely, but if he is really caught in escape from prison, then he will never want to go out in his life.

After Zheng Mingyi went to work, Jiang Chijing sat in the library for a while.

He has always disliked the nosy of prisoners, but this time the situation is very special. As a prison guard, knowing that the prisoner wants to escape, he can't assume that he doesn't know anything. However, he can't report it rashly when he is ambiguous.

Finally, Jiang Chijing did not hesitate for too long, and came to the paint factory to find Xu Sheng under the big sun.

"Officer Jiang?"

At the entrance of the paint factory, Xu Sheng stopped taking off his gloves and looked at Jiang Chijing in surprise.

The two are not familiar at all. It was good to see each other in the morning when sending and receiving letters. Now Jiang Chijing came directly to the factory to look for Xu Sheng, saying that it was unprecedented.

"Why, is Lao Jiu still offending you?" Xu Sheng continued to take off his linen gloves.

Jiang Chijing looked at the people in the factory shed, and said to Xu Sheng, "Come with me."

Xu Sheng stopped asking more questions, and followed Jiang Chijing to the shade on the edge of the factory shed.

At first, Jiang Chijing had thought about idioms euphemistically, but on another thought, he and Xu Sheng were not familiar with them at all, and could not find the entry point for idioms, so he simply asked unexpectedly: "Why escape from prison?"

Xu Sheng stared at him for an instant with a fierce expression in his expression, but he calmed down immediately and said blankly, "Officer Jiang, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

Although his mouth was negative, the expression just now had already betrayed Xu Sheng, which showed that Jiang Chijing's unexpected trick played a role.

"Don't pretend, Xu Sheng." Jiang Chijing put his hands on his chest and said calmly, "I have my source of information, and I know you want to escape from prison."

Xu Sheng did not answer the conversation. The two of them stood in a stalemate for a while. Finally, Xu Sheng let out a sigh of relief and relaxed and said, "So are you going to report me, Officer Jiang?"

"Why?" Jiang Chijing asked without answering, "Is it because of the princess? But he will be released from prison for a few years."

Xu Sheng smiled, as if saying that the reason was a little funny. He took a deep breath, let out a heavy exhale, and said, "It has nothing to do with him, the old lady is dying."

Jiang Chijing's brows loosened, and he immediately realized that Xu Sheng was talking about Awei's mother, who he wrote all the year round.

"Her heart has always been bad, and it has now reached its limit." Xu Sheng said, "The doctor said that if you have surgery now, you should live a few more years."

Jiang Chijing opened his lips subconsciously, wanting to say why the old lady would die, but he stopped the momentum in time and swallowed the words back into his mouth.

Because he knew that the old couple had no money.

"Sergeant Jiang, do you think you threatened me with mailing, will it really work for me?" Xu Sheng suddenly changed the conversation and talked about the morning.

Jiang Chijing heard something in Xu Sheng's words and quietly waited for his next words.

"I say you are a good person because I know you are a good person." Xu Shengdao, "About half a year ago, the old lady came to me once, the only time in so many years. At that time, the old man had a car accident. Able to sit in a wheelchair, the other party escaped after hitting an accident, and there has been no one to find."

Hearing this, Jiang Chijing frowned slightly, vaguely guessing why Xu Sheng wanted to mention this.

"The old lady said that I paid her for living expenses. She doesn't want it, but life at home is really difficult, so she will pay it back to me later." Xu Sheng looked at Jiang Chijing and said calmly, "I checked with my brother outside. Yes, Officer Jiang, you called them."

Jiang Chijing shifted his eyes away, be regarded as acquiescing to Xu Sheng's words.

He does not like to take care of prisoners' nosy, but in order to make up for the evil committed by voyeurism, he has long been accustomed to being willing to help others-people other than the wicked.

At that time, he was just inquiring about Xu Sheng, and realizing that the old couple had a very difficult time, so through a little relationship, he gave them 20,000 yuan.

Twenty thousand yuan is not worth mentioning to Jiang Chijing, but it is the living expenses of the old couple for a whole year.

"I have no money to pay you back, so I have always pretended not to know about this." Xu Sheng said, "You came to me this morning and asked me to solve Lao Jiu's affairs for you. In fact, you don't have to threaten me, I will help you too."

Well, it seems that Jiang Chijing's previous analysis still went wrong. However, a thought came to his mind and asked: "So you concealed the motive for the murder back then because of the old lady?"

Because Xu Sheng just said that the old lady has a bad heart.

"Do you know about this?" Xu Sheng frowned and looked surprised, but perhaps because he thought that Jiang Chijing would know about the escape, he returned to calm and said, "There is also an old man, he has a good face, even if he is hungry. I would never borrow a grain of rice from my neighbor."

Jiang Chijing said strangely: "Why do you care about them so much?"

Xu Sheng fell silent, his eyes a little empty, as if he was reminiscing about the past. After a while, he slowly said: "I have no parents since I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I met Awei. His parents treated me like their own sons. No one has ever treated me so well. "

"So Ah Wei is indeed the murderer of the serial torture." Jiang Chijing said, "But the couple has lost their son, and you don't want them to receive a double blow."

"It's more than a double blow." Xu Sheng did not deny. "Because I killed Awei back then, the old lady almost failed to survive. If they still knew what their son did, the old lady couldn't bear it, old man. Maybe I feel shameless to live, I've been hit to death long ago."

If the investigation of the case is clear, the truth cannot be undisclosed. In order to protect the couple, Xu Sheng had to carry everything alone. Otherwise, given the nature of this case, he might only be sentenced to three to five years.

Jiang Chijing no longer needs to ask what kind of conflict has occurred between Xu Sheng and Awei. It may be that Xu Sheng accidentally discovered that A Wei was the murderer and wanted to persuade him to turn around. As a result, A Wei refused to listen and Xu Sheng missed and killed him.

Jiang Chijing was silent for a while, not knowing what to say, and said in a mixed mood: "Then have you thought about the families of the victims? They may have been waiting for an answer."

"Officer Jiang, I am not a Bodhisattva, and I can't control so much." Xu Sheng said, "I have my own justice, and my justice is to repay the old couple's kindness to me."

Jiang Chijing's moral standards have always been clear, but Xu Sheng's matter made him wonder how to judge right from wrong for the first time. He persuaded: "Don't you care about the princess? What should he do if you run away?"

"I have no choice, Officer Jiang." Xu Sheng smiled bitterly, "Actually, in the past year, he has rarely hooked up with others, but he learned that I was going to escape a while ago, and he started to green me crazy again to vent. His dissatisfaction."

Jiang Chijing suddenly understood. No wonder that after the princess had looked for a gangster before, she went to Zheng Mingyi non-stop. It turned out that there was such a complicated reason behind it.

But this also shows that the princess had already acquiesced that Xu Sheng would not look back, so at this time Jiang Chijing moved the princess out, and it would not have any effect.

"Then what are you going to do when you go out?" Jiang Chijing didn't give up, and continued to ask, "Do you want to raise surgery fees for the old lady?"

"I have a brother who works in a jewelry store." Xu Sheng said lightly, "Just do this ticket, and I'll close it when I'm done."

"Xu Sheng!" Jiang Chijing raised the volume in shock, but he was scrupulous about the surroundings, and had to lower his voice and yelled, "Are you crazy? You still want to robbery!"

"I said, Officer Jiang, I have no choice." Xu Sheng said.

Jiang Chi Jing took a deep breath and asked, "How much does the operation cost?"

Xu Sheng reported a number, which is an astronomical number for ordinary families. He added: "The old man is in a wheelchair and can't take care of the old lady. He has to consider the follow-up care. I only have this opportunity. I have to do it in one step."

Although Jiang Chijing was willing to help others, he was not so kind enough to take the initiative to support two strange old people for the rest of his life.

Xu Shengying had seen through Jiang Chijing's thoughts and said, "Officer Jiang, you don't need to do anything."

This sentence is quite meaningful. Jiang Chijing's face is green, only hearing Xu Sheng say again: "Officer Jiang, I have only asked Awei in my life to let him stop. Now I beg you, what are you, Don't do it."

If Jiang Chijing was not a prison guard, perhaps Xu Sheng would really not intervene anymore for this reason.

But the problem is that he has his responsibilities, and he can't pretend that he doesn't know anything.

Seeing this, Jiang Chijing couldn't help Xu Sheng to persuade him, and if he continued to persuade him, he might even shake the bottom line in his own heart.

He had to think about it, and let Zheng Mingyi also think about it, and he would surely think of other solutions.
