Blackstone Code

There are two types of federal prisons.

One is a prison under the direct jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the other is a prison where the Federal Bureau of Prisons does not directly intervene in its operation.

It sounds a bit... complicated.

In fact, to put it bluntly, only prisons managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons are "public prisons."

Prisons set up by state governments themselves and prisons set up by the federal Ministry of Justice are essentially private prisons.

It sounds incredible, but it is true.

There is essentially no difference between these private prisons and for-profit private prisons, except that for-profit private prisons require inmates to work.

The purpose of prisons similar to those established by some government agencies is to prevent some special prisoners from escaping from their sight.

Joanna's doctor was imprisoned in an unnamed prison built by the Federal Security Council, which only had a number.

The prisoners held here do not need to work, they have free time every day, and they have good food and a dedicated medical team.

The only drawback is that you may occasionally be interrogated.

The doctor's verdict was pronounced last week.

He and Joanna conspired to embezzle and misappropriate funds from the foundation and were sentenced to ten years.

But because he actively admitted his crime and was willing to compensate for part of his fault, and because of the prosecutor's plea, he was eventually sentenced to three years and six months.

His defense lawyer helped him apply for the opportunity to serve his sentence in a private prison, so that he could pay only 115 yuan a week and be exempted from working.

He stepped on the sewing machine and gave the prison money directly, but the result was the same. The warden liked these people who paid but did not work.

But unexpectedly, he was supposed to go to prison life, but was brought to this unknown prison by the Security Committee.

After several days in custody, he was arraigned.

The interrogation room was filled with the pungent smell of cheap disinfectant, and the doctor's attention was focused on something that resembled blood residue.

Disinfectant and the like cannot clean the blood clots soaked into the cement very well, but will instead spread the diluted red color outward little by little.

This house has at least experienced a very brutal torture!

The doctor's heartbeat began to speed up slightly.

He was held for about twenty minutes, during which time no one came to interrogate him, and his nervousness gradually eased.

Just when he was almost completely relaxed, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open.

Two guys who looked like agents came in. One of them threw some documents on the table, then leaned his butt on the edge of the table and looked at him.

"Who else knows about the relationship between you and Joanna except you."

The doctor became nervous again and answered quickly, "I don't know."

The guy in charge of the interrogation shook his head, "No, you know."

"We met your wife and children. She told us that one night a friend of yours came to the house. You tell me who this person is and what the deal is between him and you."

The interrogator's eyes were fixed on the doctor's. He knew that the doctor was lying.

Mr. Trueman's death seemed to be nothing special, and people forgot about him in just over two months.

In fact, the subsequent series of changes brought about by this incident have just begun.

After re-examining the entire assassination several times, the Security Council found some clues.

The reason why they didn't start immediately before was because several heads of the Security Committee believed that the person who planned the entire assassination behind the scenes had great energy and was definitely a well-known person.

If a thorough investigation were launched immediately after Mr. Trueman was assassinated, it would most likely run head-on into the defensive measures deployed by the other party.

It is better not to move for now, wait until the situation gradually calms down, there are not so many people discussing, and the person or people who planned the assassination have relaxed their vigilance, and then start quietly investigating.

In fact, they planned to wait a little longer, but some bad news forced them to take action in advance.

They found that some people who may have certain problems or may have some secrets are dying.

Someone is continuing to attack these people.

If an investigation is not launched now, those possible insiders will be dead soon.

Moreover, there is indeed not much time left for them.

The doctor, as one of the people who does not seem to have a direct relationship with the case, has become one of the important suspects.

The exposure of Joanna's scandal and the assassination of the President are not two isolated incidents. They should be regarded as different steps in the entire assassination.

Therefore, after the Security Committee established a secret investigation team, it immediately launched an investigation and interrogated the doctors.

Before this they had visited the doctor's family, his wife, and children.

The doctor's wife had actually known for a long time that her husband was having an extramarital affair with a female patient.

The doctor's wife knew it, but she didn't object.

Because doctors earn a lot of money.

His monthly income is more than 7,000 yuan, and sometimes when he has surgery or provides other additional medical services, his income can exceed 10,000 yuan.

In this era of federation, the income of a middle-class family is only four to five thousand, seven to eight thousand.

Those with more than 10,000 are either engaged in the financial industry or are partners and can receive dividends.

An income of hundreds of thousands a year is fucking higher than the income of some small entrepreneurs!

It is easy to object to her husband's contact with those female patients, but their quality of life will decline, so she never interferes with her husband's work.

As long as he went home for the night, she didn't care about anything else.

During the heart-to-heart interview, the agents soon discovered an anomaly—someone came to their home for a family dinner. This was the only thing that had ever happened before the president was assassinated that impressed her.

Afterwards, the two left briefly for a while. The agents of the Security Committee believed that this person might be related to the murder.

The doctor remained silent.

He actually didn't know who that person was. Neither party had exchanged information. He was just manipulated unilaterally.

Even if he is asked to explain, he doesn't know how or what to explain.

His silence was actually another way of acknowledging the information obtained by the Security Committee.

The agent in charge of the interrogation didn't say much, raised his chin, then took out a pack of cigarettes, walked to the corner, and lit one.

Another agent took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, walked up to the doctor and slapped him twice, shaking his head left and right!

He couldn't even feel the pain on his face, his whole face was completely numb!

It took almost several seconds for the pain to reach the brain!

But the guy in charge was not satisfied so easily. He punched the doctor in the stomach.

In an instant, he felt his stomach begin to cramp, and the acidic water and the steak he had eaten for lunch began to rise.

He instinctively wanted to soothe these things by swallowing, but the second punch that followed made everything he did was in vain!

With a sound of "Wow", everything I ate for lunch was sticky and vomited out.

Vomiting on his own leg, the stomach acid irritating his throat with a stinging sensation.

The nasal cavity is also filled with gastric acid and mucus, the same stinging pain, and it seems that some food residue has entered the nasal cavity!

He was crying, whether from vomiting or pain.

His disgusted look made the agent who took action frown.

Fortunately, the interrogation room had very professional equipment. He walked aside, picked up the water pipe, and opened the valve.

The stimulated cold water is bitingly cold!

When it was poured on the doctor, his whole body was chilled from the inside out!

He couldn't hide but couldn't. After washing it for a while, it was clean, but the wet clothes made him feel even colder!

He sat there shivering.

The guy in charge of the interrogation tore all of his clothes into pieces. They were originally prison uniforms, and they were nothing but simple.

He sat naked in the interrogation room, with red and swollen cheeks and severe pain in his body, plus mental shame and fear. He felt that this might be the end!

"do you know?"

The smoking interrogator said, "At least a hundred people have been interrogated in this room."

"Among them are gang enforcers who have killed seventeen people, underground boxing champions, serial killers, and even anti-government militants."

"There's a lot of them, and everyone's more of a tough guy than you are."

"But in the end, everyone gave their account, and there was no hidden explanation."

"Think about yourself, who can you compare to?"

"You are not a tough guy, but you want to do things that even tough guys can't do. Your persistence is meaningless."

"Do as I say. Now tell us what you know and cooperate with our investigation."

"I know that you will not directly participate in the assassination of the president. You are just an inconspicuous little person, a screw in a certain link."

"After you answer our questions, you can go back to your private prison, and we will also apply for a commutation of your sentence."

"Wouldn't that be better than having to say it after being tortured here?"

The doctor knew that these words were not lies, and he began to reflect and think.

Perhaps after realizing that the doctor was indeed not a tough guy and had little persistence, the interrogator asked the man who did it to turn on the heater and pour him a cup of coffee.

The interrogator handed the coffee to the doctor, "As you can see, we will not talk to you about your freedom rights like in the TV series."

"We only want the truth. Even if we accidentally kill you in the end, that is still allowed."

"This money is involved in the assassination of the president. With such a big connection, if a few people disappear, no one will blame us!"
