The warden who guards the witches

"I'm going to check the prison items?" Standing outside the infirmary, Veronica pointed at herself, a little dazed.

"Yes, the items sent to the prison on the same day will be checked in the evening and handed over to the prisoners at night. Now it's almost time, I hope you can help check it." Aiden nodded.

Prisoners in the prison will also receive items from the outside world, most of which are brought in by the prisoners' families, some are purchased by the prisoners themselves, and a small part is donated from the outside world.

According to regulations, all items must be checked by prison guards, and items that do not meet the requirements of the prison's relief list will not be delivered to the prisoners.

Veronica was assigned to monitor posts and riot squads, and this kind of review work was handed over to her for the first time.

"I see." Veronica agreed first, then asked, "Is there not enough staff for the inspection?"

"No, the staff for the inspection are all on duty. I just hope you can do an extra inspection." Aiden lowered his voice and leaned close to Veronica's ear. "Someone in the core area is spreading drugs on a large scale. I suspect that the people who checked the items are not clean. I was going to check it myself, but now I can't leave for a while, so I can only ask you."

"I understand. But sir, forgive me for being blunt, I am just a newcomer who just came in. Do you trust me so much?"

Veronica has been in the police station for several years, so she has some understanding of this kind of workplace.

For leaders in high positions, this kind of internal self-inspection can generally only be handed over to trusted people, that is, the so-called... confidants.

"I don't need someone I can trust at work, I just need someone who is professional enough. I can see that you work very hard. I think you will fulfill your duties conscientiously." Aiden responded calmly, and then scanned a note to her, "I have signed this note, go!"

The prison is a unit that operates on order and rules. As long as the prison guards fulfill their duties within the rules, the prison's management structure can operate smoothly.

In Aiden's view, as long as the subordinates who fulfill their duties well are good subordinates, he doesn't care whether the subordinates respect him or hate him.

He doesn't need to cultivate any absolutely trustworthy confidants, he just needs his subordinates not to be his biggest concern.

Veronica didn't reply, but saluted Aiden and turned to the designated post.

When she came to the room for checking items, she saw a familiar face.

"Newcomer?" The old prison guard Megan turned around with her hands behind her back, "What are you doing here?"

She was directing two other younger prison guards to move several stacks of wrapped quilts to the cart.

"The warden asked me to check the prison items." Veronica took out the note Aiden signed for her and shook it.

"This kind of work is usually not given to newcomers." Megan said with a hint of meaning, "It seems that you are very popular with your superiors."

Veronica heard from other prison guards that there are "lucrative" and "non-lucrative" positions in prisons. For example, the workshop where prisoners work is a very lucrative position. Some prison guards will operate internally and embezzle part of the benefits of the workshop for their own benefit.

In addition, checking prison items is also a lucrative job. Sometimes, people in this position have the opportunity to receive bribes from prisoners or their families.

Therefore, some old guards who are well versed in this will be particularly active in these tasks and rarely give opportunities to newcomers.

"The warden's order is for me to do another review." Veronica responded bluntly.

"What do you mean?" Megan frowned.

"Literally, I will check the items here again."

"No need, I have basically checked everything here." Megan replied lazily, "How about this, send these checked items out first, and you can check the remaining ones slowly."

"The warden's order is for me to check everything again!" Veronica emphasized expressionlessly.

"Look, you are just running errands for the warden, don't let yourself get carried away. A newcomer is showing off his power to me?" Megan rolled her eyes at her.

"You are the one showing off your power, the warden asked for a re-inspection, and now you are here to make a decision?" Veronica argued.

"Okay, okay, there is no need! Usually we check once, why do we check twice?" Megan waved her hand impatiently, signaling the other two to send the cart away, not taking the newcomer seriously at all.

However, just when the two young prison guards were about to push the cart to the door as they were told, Veronica suddenly stepped forward to block the door and swung her fist at the door. The force was so strong that the thick wooden door panel was cracked.

This loud noise made Megan and the two young prison guards stunned.

"Who dares to take things out of this door?" Veronica stared at the people present with a stern face.

Her naturally fierce face was still very intimidating when she glared at people, and coupled with the arm strength that cracked the door panel with one blow, the people in the room were instantly terrified.

The two young prison guards did not move, after all, no one was confident that their bodies were stronger than the door panel.

Megan also felt a little embarrassed. She never expected that the other party would be so tough.

"Hey, young man, don't be so impatient. It makes everyone so embarrassed..." She softened her attitude and tried to smooth things over in a slick way.

It's a pity that Veronica didn't appreciate it: "You are embarrassed, not me, and you asked for it."

Megan felt her eyes twitch, but she remained calm on the surface: "I say, there are so many things, you have to check them all again, how long will it take? This is unrealistic."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely more efficient than you." Veronica came forward, pushed Megan away, and began to check the bedding on the cart.

She knew very well the fundamental reason why Aiden would specifically ask her to handle this task.

It is easiest to hide things in the bedding, which is a project that needs to be reviewed. Sometimes the prison guards even need to open it to check the cotton inside, and then sew the quilt back together.

But Veronica just flipped through the top few layers of bedding and carried them aside.

However, when she flipped to the bottom bedding, her movements stopped.

Then, she moved her face closer and sniffed carefully.

"Leave this, and take those away." Veronica pointed to the last quilt with a serious face.

Megan's face gradually lost color.

Before she could react, she heard a sizzling sound, and Veronica had already started to tear the fabric outside the quilt.

"Got it." After searching in the cotton in the quilt, Veronica whispered.

In the clumps of cotton, several yellow paper bags appeared.

The pure-blooded werewolf's superior sense of smell, far beyond that of ordinary people, told Veronica that these paper bags contained drugs that were strictly controlled outside the prison.

"How are you going to explain this, ma'am?" She stared at Megan with a burning gaze.
