The warden who guards the witches

A few days later in the afternoon, Aiden was sitting in his office, dealing with paperwork.

He found an application for leave from prison to visit relatives submitted by a general prison area. After a quick look, he unexpectedly discovered that it was submitted by the old woman who had helped him obtain the gold pocket watch on the black market. She wanted to temporarily leave the prison and go home for a day next month accompanied by a prison guard, on the grounds of attending her son's wedding.

It was this prisoner who had helped Aiden write a letter to his son who was doing underground gold business on the black market, which enabled Aiden to quickly find out the whereabouts of the gold pocket watch and let the procuratorate obtain key evidence to arrest Jaron Roton.

Not every prisoner can apply for leave from prison to visit relatives. The prisoner must not only provide a reason for leaving the prison in person, but also have an excellent performance in prison without any stain - preferably with meritorious service.

No wonder this family fought so hard for the old lady's treatment level. They were willing to hand over valuable goods for free and provide witnesses to indicate the source of evidence. It turned out that all this was to allow the old lady to attend her son's wedding next month...

Aiden thought for a moment, stamped an approval stamp on the old woman's application form, signed it, and put it aside.

He then leaned back in his chair, ready to take a break from his busy schedule.

Speaking of which, Veronica's application for retrial has been submitted for some time, and it is unknown when it will be approved.

From him fooling Bruce Kane and letting that kid voluntarily surrender to the procuratorate, to him bridging the way behind the scenes to allow the procuratorate to smoothly grasp the evidence and source, to the real murderer Jia Long was also arrested, and with Aiden as a "mysterious insider" behind the scenes, the gossip that the son of a city council member killed someone and framed others quickly occupied the pages of major daily newspapers.

In short, he did everything he could, and then the development of things was exactly as he expected.

But the retrial does take time, and Aiden has been waiting for a response these days.

Naturally, Veronica is more anxious than him.

According to Fei'er, who stayed in the same room with Veronica, these days Veronica either paced back and forth in the cell with an irritable look on her face, or lay in front of the iron bars and looked eagerly at the direction of the gate.

Especially when Aiden came to the core area to inspect in person, Veronica would definitely stick to the iron bars tightly, wishing to squeeze out of the bars with her body, staring at Aiden with burning eyes and asking if there was a reply to the retrial application.

In Fei'er's original words, "This guy is almost standing in front of the prison door like a stone waiting for his husband."

Aiden understands the girl's mood, after all, it is related to her life and death, but now they have no choice but to wait.

At this time, someone knocked on the office door. Aiden shouted "Come in". The warden of the core area, Flanda, hurriedly pushed the door open and handed over a file bag.

"Warden, it's from the procuratorate, and Veronica Wolfe is required to open it in person!" Flanda said breathlessly.

Aiden immediately jumped up from his chair, strode around the desk, took the file bag and looked at it back and forth.

"Let's go to the core area!" He took the lead and strode out of the office.

"Hurry up!"

At Aiden's urging, the prison guard on duty untied the warning measures on the gate of the prison area.

Then, Aiden entered the core area and went straight to room 13. The female prisoners in the front room who saw Aiden flashing past the door were even a little bit unresponsive and rushed up to scold him as usual.

"Warden!?" Veronica heard the door opening and appeared in front of it in an instant, looking over eagerly, "Are you here?"

Aiden didn't say anything, shook the file bag in his hand, and then stuffed it through the railing when he reached the door: "Hurry up and take a look! You have to open this thing yourself."

"Oh! It's really here." Fei'er, who was in the same room, also jumped off the bed and came over with interest, "Are you going to get out of here?"

"Whether it will work depends on the result of the application." Aiden replied calmly.

The retrial procedure in this world is somewhat similar to that in his previous life. The final result can basically be seen from the content of the reply to the retrial application.

To put it bluntly, the retrial is actually to overturn the previous trial results of the court, so its review is extremely strict and cautious.

If the application for retrial is approved, it basically means that the previous trial has been found to be problematic. On the contrary, the application for retrial will be directly rejected without leaving any room for maneuver.

Veronica grabbed the file bag and tore it open. Just as she was about to pull out the paper inside, her movements suddenly stopped and she showed some hesitation on her face.

"What are you doing?" Aiden was stunned for a moment.

"Look!" Fei'er also urged from the side.

Veronica looked up at Aiden, swallowed her throat nervously, and finally stretched out her trembling hand and handed the file bag to Aiden: "Or you... help me take a look."

"Do you think this is a lottery to try your luck!?" Aiden was not polite and took the file bag directly and pulled out the documents inside.

Veronica turned around and walked two steps into the cell, closed her eyes, and waited for Aiden to tell her the result.

The psychological shadow brought to her by being wrongfully imprisoned has not completely faded. Now her mind is full of thoughts about what to do when she sees the word "rejected" on the document, and for a moment she is a little dizzy.

Aiden quickly scanned the stereotyped preamble and went straight to the result: "... The applicant's application for retrial is well-founded, and the applicant's application for retrial is accepted."

"Hey, it's approved!!" He raised his head and shouted to Veronica.

If the application for retrial is approved, it can basically be confirmed that Veronica can overturn the verdict.

But Veronica still turned her back to him without saying a word and did not move.

"Veronica?" Aiden called her with some doubts, "I said the application was approved."

"Well, I'm listening..." Veronica nodded slowly and replied in a very low voice.

Aiden frowned - this response was a bit too bland, after all, this was the result that Veronica had been looking forward to.

He winked at Fei'er standing in the cell, motioning her to go over and take a look.

Fei'er understood, tiptoed around Veronica's side, and glanced at her front.

Then Fei'er opened her eyes as if startled, then tiptoed back to the cell and smiled at Aiden.

"She's crying! She's crying loudly!" she whispered to Aiden.

Aiden blinked, then let out a long breath and smiled at Veronica: "If you want to cry, cry louder. It's not something to be ashamed of."

"Well..."

Veronica choked up and responded, then raised her face, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had accumulated over the past few days, and burst into tears.
