Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 133 Prison Controversy

  If they wanted to discuss a practical solution, they had to wait until they had finished talking with Lecter, so Veraker and Keating did not make unnecessary plans before the matter became clearer.

  After the lunch break, not long after the other prisoners left, Lecter came to the door of cell 208 in person, waved his hand sullenly and ordered the prison guard to open the door.

  After the prison guard opened the door, Lecter walked straight towards the interrogation room.

   It seemed that Lecter was in a very bad mood, so Veraker went out and followed quickly.

  The two of them didn't say a word until they arrived in the interrogation room. After entering the interrogation room and Lecter closed the door himself, he said, "Tell me, what did you talk about."

"Adel asked me what we talked about every day when we met. I assure you, I didn't say anything, and I didn't need to say anything at all. Adel guessed it easily, obviously he came prepared." Verak didn't say anything trivial, and threw the biggest problem at the moment to Lecter, "The main reason he called me over was to hope that I would skip you and cooperate with him."

   "You agreed?" Lecter was not surprised that Adel had guessed his purpose, he was concerned about Verak's choice.

   "Not yet, I have negotiated with him for half a day, and I will give him an answer tonight." Verak said, "He said that if I reject him, the consequences will be very serious."

  Lecter was silent.

  Seeing that Lecter did not express his opinion on this for a while, Verak knew that the situation was more serious than imagined.

   "What do you think?" Lecter asked after a long time.

   "Of course I'll listen to your opinion first, and then make a plan." Verac looked forward to some solution from Lecter, after all, only if Lecter stays, they have the hope of escaping from prison.

"My opinion..." Lecter walked to the torture rack, looking at the torture rack with fascination, "You also know that your rebellious party and the government have reached a peace agreement, and Adel and I can't touch you now, so the consequences are serious. Not going anywhere."

  Villac shook his head: "If you can only make such an opinion, then I can only cooperate with Adel."

"I haven't finished yet." Lecter turned his head, "It is undeniable that, as the prison warden, Adel has more power to speak than me and is more qualified to dispose of you, but this is limited to the moment. As long as you Ask about the whereabouts of the gold, even if it is only a part of the clue, I can report it to my father immediately, and then I will take full responsibility for you, and even be promoted to the warden."

   "What if I don't ask the golden clue?" There will definitely be a golden clue, but Verak still has to pretend that he is not completely sure.

  Lecter reassured: "Even if you didn't ask, according to my ability, it's no problem to save you in front of Adel. What's more, your life will not be in any danger."

   If Veraker didn't give Lecter the golden clue on the twelfth, Lecter would have to leave, so the so-called protection of him was just a promise. Fortunately, Verak was just going through the motions, not trying to take a reassurance.

   "Then I want to ask another question. If I choose to side with Adel, what can you do?" Verak asked boldly.

"I can't do anything." Lecter can give everything that Adel can give, so he doesn't have much confidence to threaten Veraker under Adel's protection, "All I can do is give you what I have done. The benefits will definitely be better than Adel's. We can completely discuss this, and you can raise your requirements."

   Lecter's concession in terms of interests fell right into Verak's arms.

  No matter what, he had only one choice from beginning to end in order to escape from prison, and that was to stand by Lecter. The biggest question "whether it is possible to ask for the golden clue" is completely within his control. The method of protecting him proposed by Lecter is basically feasible, and there is no reason to hesitate in making this choice.

  After it was feasible, Verak did not end today's conversation.

   Originally, there was no competitor, and Lecter did what he said. Verac couldn't expose the truth, tear his face apart, and win more things. Today is different, he has become the partner of the two biggest talkers in the prison, and he has capital up for grabs.

  The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Verak seized it, and took advantage of Adel's threat to Lecter to seize the opportunity to strive for greater benefits.

   "My request..." Verac didn't have any thoughts yet, "There is nothing very necessary for now."

   "Then you can mention it to me at any time." Lecter said sincerely, "How about it? Cooperate with me."

  That arrogant lunatic suddenly became so cute, Verak was very uncomfortable: "What should I say about Adel?"

"You don't need to go there, I'll just talk to him in person." Lecter worried that Veraker and Adel would regret it after meeting at night, so he decided to use some means to prevent the two from contacting each other, "I will continue to ensure your safety and treatment during this time." All your support, you just need to deal with Keating with peace of mind and find out the whereabouts of the gold."

   "Okay." Verak just didn't want to see Adel, "I'll leave the rest to you."

  When Veraker said this, Lecter knew in his heart that their cooperation was preserved, and he hoped to stay.

   "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Lecter beckoned Veraker to sit down, "Sit down, standing up as soon as we come in makes us look different."

"Besides, I have one more thing to tell you." Verak sat on the extremely familiar interrogation chair, "I have some more risky but perhaps more useful tips on the matter of setting up golden clues." idea."

   "Tell me." Lecter's mind was full of golden clues, and when he heard that Veraker had a new idea, he couldn't wait to listen.

  Verak opened his mouth slightly for a few seconds.

   Lecter thought he was thinking about what to say, but in fact Veraker was hesitating whether to do it or not.

After a few seconds, he made a decision: "I think the relationship between me and Keating has stabilized. If there is nothing special, it is difficult to ask for clues in a short time. Since you set me so tight , I think we can only take some extraordinary measures to stimulate him and see the situation."

   "How exciting?"

"Continue to abuse me." As soon as Verac finished saying 'abuse', he quickly explained in detail, "This abuse is not what you understand, nor is it what I endured some time ago. It is for Keating to see that he does not If you tell the whereabouts of the gold, my friend will suffer a lot. Even if he is still clinging to you, there is some hope that he will reveal it to me."

   "Be more specific." Lecter knew that since Veraker was willing to propose, he must have a detailed plan, so he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

   "Like other prisoners, arrange me to work in the work area." Verak said.

   This matter was a temporary decision he made.

  When contacting prisoners in the morning and at noon, because they enjoy some kind of "privilege" in the eyes of other prisoners, the prisoners are generally hostile and alienated towards him. If he wants to unite everyone and spread "Theory of Equality", he must integrate into the group of prisoners and cannot make an exception.

  The prerequisite for integrating into the group of prisoners is that Verak has to get rid of his privileges, such as not having to work.

  When he starts working, he will be no different from other prisoners, and he will have more time to communicate with everyone and observe the information of prison guards.

   "It's too risky. If it doesn't succeed, it will waste a lot of time." Lecter didn't agree.

   In his opinion, once Veraker goes to work, he will spend a lot of time on meaningless things every day. Relatively, he will have fewer opportunities to communicate with Keating, which is not conducive to asking for golden clues.

Going to work is the only way Veraker thinks he can integrate into the group of prisoners. He strives for it: "The reason why I proposed this method is because I think this method is more likely to ask for golden clues than staying by Keating's side, otherwise I wouldn't have Need to speak up."

   "There are still five and a half days. I will give you three days at most to try this plan." Lecter let go. He knew that he didn't understand the situation as well as Veraker, so it must not be considered comprehensive.

"I will do my best." Three days seems a bit short to Veraker, but he is not in a hurry to persuade Lecter to extend the time now. Anyway, if everything goes well, there will be reasons after three days, "If there is no effect , we terminate immediately and use something else.”

"Well...then I'll arrange for you to go to work tomorrow. You haven't fully recovered yet, if you can't bear it and need to reduce your workload, you can tell me anytime." Lecter rarely feels tired. He is not good at fighting with power. What's more, the opponent is Adel, "Is there anything else? If not, you can go back first. I will go to Adel."

  Both things have been resolved, and Verak has no other problems: "No, then I'll go back first."

   "Go." Lecter stayed in the interrogation room as usual, watching Verak leave.

  Compared with the magnificent office, he felt that this cold, **** interrogation room was more suitable for his work.

  —

"It's the right thing to do." In the 208 cell, Keating affirmed Veraker after hearing how he and Lecter reached a new cooperation, "As long as the safety is guaranteed, I didn't expect you to take advantage of it by the way." Our advantages amplify our interests, so today's risk is worth it."

  Verak knew that this matter was not a big problem: "Well, the main thing is that they all ask us, and we are more proactive. Another thing is that Lecter and I proposed my work, and he agreed."

   "Why did he agree with you to work at this juncture?"

  Verak explained the bitter trick of acting for Keating on the surface but actually acting for Lecter: "I told him that this would stimulate you, and he agreed."

   "This is indeed the best way. We don't have any shortcuts to integrate into the prisoner." Keating didn't have a better way, so he didn't dictate this decision to Verak.

   "I'll start working tomorrow, and I'll be back at nine o'clock to take you out for a walk." Verak moved his arms.

   Keating was a little worried about Veraker's body: "They said at least that they would have to work for thirteen or four hours. Can you, a kid from a rich family, bear it? Not to mention that your injury has not fully recovered."

   "Yes, I will give up if I can't hold on." Verak grinned.

   "Give up..." Keating also smiled, "Then I don't need to worry."

   "We have to hurry up, because the battle between us, Adel and Lecter will become more and more intense, and many things will become uncontrollable." After joking, Verak quickly became serious.

  Keating said "hmm" and said, "Then start working hard tomorrow."

  —

   "Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the prison warden's office door.

"Please-"

   Warden Adel hadn't finished saying "please come in", Lecter pushed the door open and walked all the way to the sofa in the living room to lie down: "Uncle Adel, good afternoon."

   "What's the matter?" Adel looked at one end of the sofa, because Lecter lay down on it without taking off his shoes, causing dirt to be scratched there.

   "You are asking the question knowingly." Lecter adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, "I called Chris over when I saw you at noon."

   "Chris? Who?" Adel pretended to be stupid.

   Lecter sneered: "Prisoner No. 8196, Thomas Chris."

   "The leader of the rebellious party..." Adel suddenly realized, "I asked him to come here at noon today, what's the matter?"

   "What did you call him to do?"

   "You don't need to know this, you will be transferred soon, there is no need to be busy in the last few days of staying here." Adel flipped through the documents and said in a concerned tone.

   Lecter couldn't bear Adel's eccentricity: "He told me all about it."

"Really? I know you just met him in the interrogation room on the basement floor. Did you just talk about this? Let's talk about something else." Adel looked up when Lecter first entered the door, and kept his head buried in the rest of the time Studying the file, this enraged Lecter even more.

"He will continue to cooperate with me." Lecter sat up, looking at Adel who was a few meters away from him in the office area, "I hope you don't do anything else. The small tricks on the stage caused Chris to not ask for gold clues, I will report the truth to my father and let my father deal with you."

"Even if I don't interfere, you can be sure that he can really find out the clues of gold?" Adel snorted disdainfully, "You have arranged so many prisoners to live with Keating, you should be very clear that it will not be that simple, If this is the case, how could Keating have kept this secret for two full years."

  Lecter's face was terribly gloomy: "You don't need to worry about that."

"Then I'll wait patiently for a few days and give you a chance." Adel closed the file and finally looked up at Lecter, "It's not bad for me that you pin all your hopes of staying on the prisoner. "

   "Uncle Adel, I am more and more interested in the position you are sitting in now." Facing the suppression, Lecter really aroused the idea of ​​kicking Adel away and becoming the prison warden with one hand covering the sky.

  Adel shrugged, sat firmly, but said to Lecter: "Come and sit and watch."

   Lecter really stood up and walked in front of Adel: "Then get up and drive."
