Trafford’s Trading Club

,.

For prisoners, there are always one or two days each month that they are most looking forward to.

It’s not a holiday with extra meals in the prison canteen, nor is it an occasional in-prison activity, and it’s certainly not a day when you don’t have to work.

But an open house.

The day of the prison visit.

"Cheng Youmin, Li Sicheng, Wang Wei, Zeng Jinfu..."

When the prison guards called out names one by one, when the quiet prisoners stood up after hearing the names and walked into the interview room with smiles, it was also when the prisoners walked out of the interview room with melancholy and reluctance. , there are always people sitting here, waiting hard.

Because there are always people whose names have never been called...people who have never had anyone visit them.

He has a short hair and is half black and half white. He must be in his sixties, right? But maybe he should be younger. After all, life in prison cannot be said to be comfortable, so he looks older.

But Zhou Xiaokun knew that the old man sitting with him on the playground was exactly fifty-seven years old because today was his birthday.

"Brother, please make a wish. It's your birthday today. But I can't get a cake. I asked the aunt in the dining hall to get red eggs for you. How about that?" Guo Yushuo took out an egg from his prison clothes. .

Zhou Xiaokun was finally caught after driving drunk, and his sentence was neither long nor short. He had been in this prison for a while anyway. But the old man sitting next to him had already been there before he arrived.

I heard it was murder.

Zhou Xiaokun did not ask in detail who he killed. In this place, everyone has a past, and unless the other person is willing to talk about it, it is not a friendly act to ask.

Apart from the fact that the old man had committed murder, Zhou Xiaokun only knew that this old man was called Feng Guichun, a northerner, his wife died in childbirth, and he also had a daughter.

But the old man's daughter never came to see him. At least, during the more than a year that Zhou Xiaokun was here, no one came to visit him every time during the open day.

"Xiao Zhou." The old man... Feng Guichun glanced at the red egg in Zhou Xiaokun's hand and smiled reluctantly, "Oh, I'm interested."

"What are you talking about? When I first came to report, if you hadn't taken care of me, brother, I would have suffered a lot." Zhou Xiaokun smiled.

"I have a purpose, and you don't know it." Feng Guichun sighed, then looked at Zhou Xiaokun and hesitated: "Have you... met your brother?"

"Well, we just saw him and he went back." Zhou Xiaokun nodded, then sighed and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, my brother said he didn't find your daughter."

Feng Guichun shook his head, patted Zhou Xiaokun's thigh, and breathed out: "It doesn't matter, I expected it. Oh, for many years, people in the prison have come and gone in batches. Not only that. It’s just you, I’ve asked many people to help you... I’m used to it, I’m used to it.”

Seeing the old man's wry smile, Zhou Xiaokun said quickly: "Brother, don't worry yet, but my brother said he had heard about your daughter, but he just couldn't find her."

"Really?" Feng Guichun's eyes lit up. He didn't know how many years ago, his old eyes were so bright.

Zhou Xiaokun nodded and said, "Well, my brother accidentally found out that your daughter has been temporarily taken in by a welfare agency since your accident."

"I know that." Feng Guichun nodded and said: "That agency would come to see me at first and then talk about my daughter's current situation. Later, a family adopted her... Eight years ago, I heard that they The family went abroad and was never heard from again.”

"I heard that she is back." Zhou Xiaokun patted Feng Guichun on the shoulder: "My brother found out that your daughter came back this time because she is getting married."

"Really!" Feng Guichun suddenly grabbed Zhou Xiaokun's hand, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

He clearly saw the old man glowing suddenly, and he had never seen this old man look so excited.

Probably, for a father, there is nothing more exciting than hearing the news that his daughter is getting married soon, right?

"It should be true." Zhou Xiaokun patted the back of Feng Guichun's hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother!"

"Congratulations...congratulations..." Feng Guichun suddenly became lonely, nodding and lowering his head.

"Brother?" Zhou Xiaokun was stunned and said hesitantly: "Are you... unhappy?"

"Happy." Feng Guichun gave an ugly smile, sighed, and rubbed the sides of his thighs, "How could I not be happy...Thank you, Xiao Zhou. It's windy here, and I'm a little uncomfortable. First, gone back."

"Old..." Zhou Xiaokun looked at Feng Guichun's back and didn't know what to say for a moment.

A daughter's marriage is a big and festive event, but this old man...he can't see it.

Even if you know, what can you do?

His daughter never seemed to want to come over to see him.

The red egg still remained in Zhou Xiaokun's hand. He felt that this birthday gift given to this old man would only make him more sad.

Zhou Xiaokun also sighed. He couldn't give the red eggs away, and he didn't plan to eat them himself. Shaking his head, he placed the red egg on the stool and walked back.

…

Not long after, the red egg on the stool was picked up... by the owner of the club.

Then he sat on this stool and looked at the playground in the prison on a rainy day. On rainy days, the water on the playground rippled in countless small circles.

The scenery outside the wall and the scenery inside the wall are therefore different.

"Master? What do you think?"

Seeing Luo Qiu doing this without making a sound for a while, the maid in the club could keep her composure, but Tai Yinzi couldn't, so he could only bite the bullet and ask.

"How about what?" Luo Qiu looked at Taiyinzi and asked.

"That's... the sponsor this time." Taiyinzi said respectfully: "I'm talking about Feng Guichun... You see, how much he hopes to see his daughter! I think, for this, he must be willing Give him everything! Especially after hearing the news about the inmates just now, his thoughts must have become stronger!"

Seeing that the owner of the club just looked at him with a half-smile, Taiyinzi quickly said: "Besides, as long as Feng Guichun's daughter comes to meet her, wouldn't it be easy? I'm an expert and I can possess her in one fell swoop. We’re here, it’s convenient to take a taxi or something! Boss, the profit from this purchase is huge!”

Seeing that his immediate boss still didn't speak, Taiyinzi became a little anxious and rolled his eyes: "Master, you see, Feng Guichun must be willing to use everything he has for such an opportunity. And when he finally saw his daughter , it must be that touching thing! Crying and crying, having no regrets, etc., this quality will definitely become higher!"

Seeing that Boss Luo still didn't speak, Taiyinzi couldn't help but panic.

Did he say something wrong? That's not right... According to his observations over the past few years, this should be the club's owner's interest, right?

Besides, occasionally he eavesdropped on the conversation between the master and the maid, and could also hear the conversation about the quality of the soul.

So, right?

But the boss's silence still made him panic.

"Owner?"

Luo Qiu put the red egg back to its original place, stood up and said, "Taiyinzi, I have found a good sponsor this time."

"That's a blessing from the master."

Luo Qiu chuckled, and then disappeared... disappeared... from Taiyinzi's face.

Taiyinzi was left stunned on the spot, looking at the maid who was obviously planning to follow the master back, and could only say quickly: "Miss Youye, this... what does this master mean? I am stupid and stupid, I can't guess. Tooru?"

"I didn't hear the master say, is this financial sponsor good?" The maid said calmly: "Don't you understand?"

"Oh...I know, I know!" Taiyinzi shuddered, "Pindao will go to work right away, and he must do it well! He will never let the party and... Bah, he will never let the master and Miss Youye disappointment!"

The maid also disappeared in the rain.

…

This is a medical institution that cooperates with the bureau. If prisoners or detained suspects have any physical conditions, they will be sent here for treatment.

The windows are specially made to prevent prisoners from escaping.

The young police officer and another policewoman from the department sent Zhao Ru here. Looking at Zhao Ru who had not yet woken up in the hospital bed, the young police officer immediately asked the doctor: "Doctor, how is the prisoner's condition?"

"Well, there are many cases of fainting. I arranged to take her blood for a test." The doctor took back his stethoscope, "But this lady's physiological condition is normal and she should be able to wake up soon."

"Oh, that's good." The young police officer nodded, then looked at the female police officer who came with him and said, "The doctor and I will sign the formalities. You stay here and keep a good eye on her."

After saying that, he handcuffed Zhao Ru's arm to the guardrail of the hospital and said seriously: "Just in case, be careful."

"I know." The little policewoman nodded: "Lin Feng, leave it to me."

The young police officer... Lin Feng and the doctor walked out of the ward.

At this time, the little policewoman carefully looked at all the windows in the ward and the built-in bathroom. After finally locking the door of the ward, she took a newspaper and sat down.

But I don’t know why, but as she watched, the little policewoman felt that her eyelids suddenly became heavy.

She just slowly closed her eyes, knocked her head down, and fell asleep.

At the same time, the lock on the ward door suddenly clicked and turned slowly, and finally someone pushed the door open.

The leather shoes made a clicking sound against the floor, and the man walked in. He even pulled up a chair and sat in front of the patient.

As soon as he sat down, the man took off his glasses and wiped them carefully with a handkerchief.

After putting on his glasses again, the man looked at Zhao Ru on the bed. After a while, he stretched out his hand and gently picked up the necklace around Zhao Ru's neck.

Blackwater's crystal pendant was now in the man's palm, and it seemed to light up.

I only heard him whisper: "It's such an ugly thing...but it's not enough."

So the man lowered his head, came close to Zhao Ru's ear, and whispered something softly. (To be continued.)
