Li Shang quickly glanced through the five criminal records attached to the email. At first glance, everything seed routine, with nothing unusual—just so common criminal activities followed by corresponding arrests and sentencing.
As for the five individuals' educational records, employnt history, health records, and other information, they all appeared unremarkable, without any details worthy of suspicion.
Li Shang scrutinized the criminal records several tis and finally captured two subtle anomalies.
The first point was that there seed to be no connection between these five people and the Cyan Wolf Gang according to these docunts, which was the most illogical aspect.
Li Shang pondered, "Since the Cyan Wolf Gang has no ties with these five individuals, why would Ma Bin help them transfer prisons? Either Ma Bin is doing soone else a favor, or he has a deeper, undisclosed connection with these five people."
The second point was that the ti of incarceration for these five individuals was unusually concentrated, all occurring between January and February of this year, which raised Li Shang's suspicions.
He couldn't help but wonder, "If these five people don't know each other, then naturally there's no problem, but if that's the case, it all becos intriguing, as if they are collectively committing cris to enter prison together. What underlying motive could there be, or is there sothing within the prison that attracts them?"
As for whether these five people knew each other, the answer beca clear the mont Ma Bin spoke up to request the transfer.
"How strange, why does Ma Bin want to arrange the transfer for these five people from Prison No. 4 to Prison No. 2? Hmm, could there be an undiscovered treasure hidden in Prison No. 2?"
Li Shang almost amused himself with such absurd speculation and shook his head to turn off his phone.
It's not that he bore any ill will towards Ma Bin; he was simply heeding Chang Erbing's reminder, wanting to have a better understanding of the "cri partners" he would be tied to in the future.
Of course, this matter wasn't urgent. Li Shang just kept it in mind, planning to pay more attention to the dynamics of Prison No. 2 in the future.
Li Shang closed his eyes to rest, musing inwardly, "It's just a gang leader; even if there are secrets, how significant can they really be, hehe—"
…..
At the sa ti, in Zone 9's Prison No. 4, Light Supervision Area.
In the spacious labor workshop, rows of neatly arranged sewing machines stood silently, with their needles glistening coldly under the lights.
Inmates wore uniform prison garnts and sat in front of the sewing machines, skillfully operating them, stepping on the pedals, producing a rhythmic "tat-tat" sound, an echo of heavy and monotonous symphony.
There weren't many expressions on the prisoners' faces, their eyes mostly hollow and numb.
Their gazes occasionally fell on the clothes or fabrics they were working on and then returned to the incessant pedal pressing. As the pedal moved up and down, their ankles rhythmically quivered, integrating their entire bodies into the machine.
At the entrance of the workshop, several prison guards in tidy uniforms leaned against the wall, with high-voltage electric batons hanging around their waists, glinting coldly.
They smoked cigarettes, exhaling light smoke, leisurely exchanging casual conversations.
Nearby, the inmate Yuan Dabiao stood there obsequiously, his body slightly leaning forward, with an ingratiating expression written on his brow.
He strained his mind for those awkward jokes, trying to amuse the prison guards with humor. His efforts paid off, and hearty laughter resonated in the air.
"Alright, stop amusing us here, and go supervise diligently." One of the prison guards interrupted the laughter, with a slight tone of severity in his voice, "Let tell you, the Prison Chief was very unsatisfied with last week's clothing production quantity."
He paused, a hint of warning flashing in his eyes, "If this week fails to et the standard again, be careful, I might strip you of your team leader position."
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" Yuan Dabiao straightened his back, pressing a hand to his bald head, saluting in a comical manner that again provoked a burst of joyous laughter from the guards.
As the laughter's echo faded, Yuan Dabiao turned around and swiftly returned to the workshop.
The ingratiating expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a fierce and bristling countenance, with his greasy, wrinkled forehead emitting a layer of nacing light under the lamps.
Approaching a sewing machine, he grabbed the scant clothes from a basket, speaking with a nacing voice, "Old Li, have you been slacking off again? You've only made three pieces all morning, is this efficiency up to standard?"
Old Li raised his head, a trace of undisguisable fatigue flashing in his eyes, yet his voice tried to remain calm, "Yuan, I'm old, my hands and feet aren't like those of the young anymore, I've already done my best."
But Yuan Dabiao was unmoved, his gaze cold and demanding, "Oh, hands and feet don't cooperate, let see."
Before he had finished speaking, Yuan Dabiao suddenly grasped Old Li's hand and pressed it harshly towards the needle under the sewing machine.
Two other prisoners reacted promptly, lunging from both sides to hold down the struggling Old Li firmly.
The pedal of the sewing machine, under Yuan Dabiao's frantic stepping, emitted a dull and urgent sound.
Bang clank bang clank—
The withered and wrinkled hand was rcilessly pierced under the needle, with a string of dense needle holes shocking to the eyes, spreading blood everywhere, staining the machine and adjacent fabric.
"Hmm, let see; indeed, the hands and feet don't cooperate."
Yuan Dabiao's tone was indifferent, with evident disdain, releasing his grip on Old Li's hand.
Old Li emitted a harrowing wail, yet his hand remained inseparable from the machine, as threads were sewn into his flesh, stained with blood, cruelly binding his hand to the machine.
Next to them, Chen Ya was diligently operating his sewing machine, his face splattered with blood. He lightly wiped the blood stains from his face, watching the drops splatter onto his clothes, frowning slightly as he turned his head to the side.
Yuan Dabiao imdiately glared, face full of viciousness, "What are you looking at, you want to stand up for Old Li?"
Chen Ya shook his head indifferently, seriously said, "Move more gently, don't dirty my clothes."
All the while speaking, Chen Ya continued to align the clothes to the needle, his foot rhythmically pressing the pedal, producing a regular sound.
Pa-dah!
Pa-dah!
Pa-dah…
