Fengcheng Women's Prison.
Life in the prison was monotonous and dull. The inmates didn't spend most of their time staying in their cells. They had to strictly follow the prison's daily schedule for activities.
At six in the morning, all the inmates had to get up on time, finish washing within the stipulated time, then line up for some simple exercises before starting their day.
The inmates in the prison had committed different crimes, but without exception, they all had to receive re - education and engage in production work. What did they do? Socks, shoes, underwear or some handicrafts, which was to prevent them from being too out of touch with society and unable to integrate after they were released.
They also had free - activity time, during which they could engage in some simple entertainment. This was the only way for the inmates to socialize.
Yuan Ya'er had been serving her sentence in the prison for the second year. Since she entered the prison, she had always worked diligently, actively participated in various activities, and had received several commendations for it.
She worked so hard not for anything else but to strive for a commutation of her sentence.
She would never allow herself to waste another six years in prison! She wanted to get a commutation of her sentence as soon as possible and leave this hellhole!
In the workshop, the machines roared. Yuan Ya'er was concentrating on cutting the fabric in her hand. Her forehead hair was completely soaked with sweat.
Her movements were fast and precise. One could even say she was very proficient, not at all like an inmate who had only been serving for two years, but more like someone who had been doing this for many years.
Suddenly, two female prison guards walked in with solemn expressions and headed straight towards Yuan Ya'er.
When the other inmates noticed, they all looked up.
"Prisoner No. 7056, please put down what you're holding and come with us right away," the prison guard said coldly to Yuan Ya'er.
Yuan Ya'er looked up, was slightly stunned for a moment, then obediently put down what was in her hand, stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, officer."
Although the prison life had made her much thinner, there were still two little dimples on her face when she smiled, which made people involuntarily have a good impression of her.
However, this trick didn't work on the prison guards at all. Without hesitation, the two guards stepped forward, one on each side, to control Yuan Ya'er's movements and took her outside.
Everyone saw this scene, and for a moment, the workshop was filled with the noise of discussions.
"Why was No. 7056 suddenly taken away? I think she has been behaving well recently. She hasn't done anything wrong, right?"
"Who knows? Maybe someone is here to visit her."
"But the officers' expressions don't seem like it's a visitation. It seems more like... an interrogation."
The prison guards around shouted, "Quiet! Is this the time to chat? Don't forget who you are! Get back to work!"
Yuan Ya'er was indeed being interrogated.
She was directly taken to the interrogation room inside the prison, where she met Wang Hao, the captain of the criminal police team of Fengcheng Police Station.
Being suddenly taken away by two prison guards had already made Yuan Ya'er a little uneasy. When she saw Wang Hao's face again, her heart skipped a beat. If her arms hadn't been held on both sides, she would definitely have turned around and run away in fear.
No inmate wasn't intimidated by an experienced criminal police officer, especially when she had something to hide.
"Prisoner No. 7056, the suspect Yuan Ya'er, we meet again," Wang Hao nodded at Yuan Ya'er, whose face was obviously a bit off, and knocked on the table.
"This interrogation has all the proper procedures. We have plenty of time to sit down and have a good talk."
Yuan Ya'er sat on the chair with her hands cuffed, forcing a smile as she said, "What does Officer Wang want to talk to me about?"
Wang Hao said, "I want to talk to you about how you deliberately had a relationship with another suspect to get pregnant and escape punishment."
Yuan Ya'er's pupils suddenly constricted. She couldn't help clenching her fists, and her heart began to pound violently.
He knew! How did he know! Who leaked this information!
"I also want to talk to you about how you, together with your parents, hired a hitman to kill someone during your medical parole," Wang Hao continued.
Yuan Ya'er felt all the hairs on her body stand on end, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her body.
He even knew this!
Wang Hao smiled and said, "No. 7056, do you know what you should tell me now?"
The confessions of Yuan's father, Yuan's mother, and the red - dressed woman were very clear. Coupled with Wang Hao's proficient and rich interrogation skills, Yuan Ya'er confessed within ten minutes.
Since she had committed another crime during her prison term, and it was a criminal case that caused someone's death, the nature of the crime was very serious. After the interrogation, she wasn't taken back to the collective cell as usual, but was put into a solitary cell for separate detention.
Three days later, the court would reopen the case and make a new round of judgments on her and the other suspects involved in the case.
This time, their punishments would only be heavier!
There was only a bed less than one meter wide in the small cell. The cramped space and the dark, damp environment were extremely depressing. Yuan Ya'er was in such a cell, feeling extremely irritable.
She was back in this place again!
Why, why could she never escape such a fate! Everything had been going so smoothly. Where exactly was the problem?
She just couldn't figure it out. Lying on the narrow, small and cold bed, she unconsciously fell into a drowsy sleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept when she suddenly heard the sound of the cell door opening. She woke up instantly, propped herself up and sat up, looking towards the door.
It was already late at night. In order to manage the inmates in a standardized way, the prison would cut off the power supply for all lighting and sockets at ten o'clock at night. So the whole cell was very dim, with only a little light projected from the corridor outside.
With a "creak", the cell door was pushed open. In the darkness, a tall figure in a prison doctor's uniform walked in. Even though the light was dim, the other person's fair, almost sickly skin was enough for Yuan Ya'er to recognize his appearance.
Her pupils suddenly constricted, and a name involuntarily escaped from Yuan Ya'er's mouth.
"Bai He! You... you're not..."
Bai Xuanhe put his finger in front of his lips and said indifferently, "Fool, do you want to attract everyone here?"
Yuan Ya'er thought she was doomed this time. But seeing Bai Xuanhe, who shouldn't be here, her whole body trembled slightly with excitement.
She was saved! She was saved!
She rushed towards Bai Xuanhe, trying to grab his sleeve. "I knew it. With your abilities, you wouldn't be caught so easily! Bai He, for the sake of me saving your mother, please, help me one more time. Take me away!"
But she didn't even touch Bai Xuanhe's shadow. Instead, she was kicked hard in the chest by Bai Xuanhe.
A sharp pain came from her chest. Yuan Ya'er fell to the ground, her vision going black. She almost lost her breath. Before she could recover, her neck was grabbed and she was lifted up from the ground.
In the darkness, Bai Xuanhe's eyes were extremely gloomy.
"Because of you, I sacrificed a deputy and several capable subordinates, and destroyed the organization's stronghold. I only managed to escape from the pursuit with great difficulty. And now you actually want me to take you away. You're really shameless, Yuan Ya'er."
"Maybe I shouldn't have called you Yuan Ya'er at all. You've been planning everything since you approached my mother, am I right?"
"Who are you and where do you come from?"
