The warden who guards the witches

On the third day after Sophie Carter's maid was imprisoned, there were still Sophie Carter fans demonstrating outside the prison, but the number was obviously much smaller. Another day later, the demonstrators did not show up again. The prison guards at Rose Iron Prison were not too surprised by this incident. Those fans who caused trouble because of Sophie Carter's recuperation were actually just looking for an outlet. That’s all.

After the demonstrations were over, there was basically nothing worth paying special attention to about this maid - except for the ridiculous amount of money in her account.

Then, Aiden received a report from the Second Ward.

"From the documents provided by the finance department, it seems that the money was remitted through the bank. We asked the bank to assist in the investigation, and the remittance account information was given there." The Superintendent of the Second District submitted He made a report, "They are not registered family members at all. To be honest... they don't seem to have anything to do with this maid."

"Money sent by a stranger? What did the maid say herself?" Aiden asked.

"She said she was a friend of her father's and owed her family a large amount of money. She was going to pay it back when she was in jail, so her family asked her to transfer the money into the control fund account."

"What's going on with her father?"

"In the personal information registered by the prisoner, her father died five years ago."

"A lie that you don't care about being discovered." Aiden put the information aside casually, "Yes, if you cared, you wouldn't put such a large amount of money on the account for us to see."

"Then there's another thing. This prisoner's popularity in prison is getting better and better..." the warden continued to report, "It's so good that it seems a bit... excessive."

"What's too much? It's only been three days and three nights since she came in, and she's already created a gang in the prison?" Aiden asked casually.

"It's really pretty much the same." The warden replied seriously.

"Huh?" Aiden didn't understand. "She gives out money directly in prison?"

"That's not true... You can go to the playground during the break this afternoon. Maybe she will continue her 'performance' yesterday." replied the superintendent.

"Performance?" Aiden was even more confused.

"When she was having fun in the past two days, she kept breaking gossip about Sophie Carter on the playground like a talk show, attracting many people to gather around to listen." the superintendent replied.

"Aren't there not many prisoners who are fans of Sophie Carter? Why would they be interested in hearing gossip about a star they don't know much about?"

"How should I put it? I can't tell." The district chief obviously didn't know how to describe it. "Anyway, you can see for yourself when the time comes."

So in the afternoon, Aiden came to the large playground in the general prison area.

The playground in the ordinary prison area is much larger than that in the core area. It is a place shared by the three ordinary prison areas in batches.

But in terms of security level, the playground in the ordinary prison area is much more relaxed. There is no barrier to seal the magic power. The boundaries of the playground inside the prison are not covered with iron bars with thick arms, but barbed wire. The surveillance posts are also reduced to two.

Aiden would occasionally visit the general prison area, but not so frequently. The prisoners in the general prison area are also criminals, but they are still within the category of "ordinary people". Compared with the people in the core area, they are as docile as sheep. He often goes to the core area because he often needs to be there to keep things under control.

He did not enter the large playground directly from the prison area like the prison guard on duty. Instead, he came to the outdoor area of ​​the prison and looked into the playground through the barbed wire fence on the edge of the playground.

At this time, the prisoners in the Second Ward and the Third Ward had been put on the playground to move around.

Aiden searched for a while and quickly found Susan Finger, the maid of Prisoner 15’s Carter family.

It wasn't hard to find this person because she was so conspicuous.

She was standing on a bench near the barbed wire fence, surrounded by more than a dozen prisoners, and Susan was talking endlessly:

"...You may think it's not good for me to talk about so many private topics of Miss Carter. In fact, after I found out about some things, she did tell me not to tell anyone else. She also threatened me, Susan, some If you tell me about it, I will never admit it, and it will become your slander." Then I said, "Ms. Carter, what are the consequences?" Then she said seriously, "It means you can only go to I told other prisoners in prison." Susan said, spreading her hands, "Actually, I don't really want to say anything, but listen, she insisted on me saying it here. I have never heard anything like this in my life. Strange request!"

The prisoners around laughed loudly.

Susan continued: "I often meet reporters asking whether Miss Carter has a man and whether she has had trysts in a private house. But I think there must be no, because the only man I have seen in the house is Mr. Butler. . So I replied, 'Sorry, the only man I know she has a relationship with is the housekeeper.' But for some reason, the reporters suddenly cheered as if they had won a lottery."

The prisoner laughed again.

"Then I thought about it and realized I'd missed someone, so I added, 'Oh, there's actually a gardener.' And they started clapping."

This time the prisoners laughed and started clapping.

"Later, I don't know why, Miss Carter started to get angry when she saw the newspaper... Alas, I really don't know what happened. I thought if I could read, I might be able to comfort her. Of course, I thought it might be related to what I answered to the reporter, so I found her and tried to ask, 'Miss Carter, can you tell me about the men you have a relationship with...'. As a result, she immediately widened her eyes and said, 'How do you know?'"

There were sporadic laughter among the prisoners.

"Then after a second, she asked again, 'But which one are you talking about? Please give me a hint.'" Susan continued.

The prisoners burst into laughter.

Aiden listened for a while from a distance with his hands folded, and turned his head to observe the nearest prison guard on duty in the playground - the prison guard was actually listening with interest.

As a talk show, it was okay, mainly because Susan Finger standing on the bench attracted attention inexplicably.

But Aiden thought it shouldn't be so interesting that even the prison guards were attracted and even forgot to manage discipline.

You know, in places like this, prison guards usually don't let too many prisoners gather together. The crowd will block the view, and it will be difficult to see what is happening inside, or what someone is doing.

Faintly, Aiden had a sense of déjà vu, an inexplicable sense of disharmony - the last time he had this feeling was when he ignored Kikimora who was present at a witch gathering.
