Chapter 308: Audacious [Graveyard Old Tree]???

~7 min read 1,321 words

The older patrol captain sucked down the remaining half of his cigarette in one drag, the smoke rings he exhaled hazing his entire face; his tone seemed like a cold laugh, yet also like a sigh of emotion as he replied:

"The other set of rules is: prick up your ears, keep your mouth shut, strive to be a mute or a repeater; otherwise, you might not even have the chance to speak in the future."

Chen Yang's face was full of shock, he simply suspected his ears had malfunctioned; his mouth gaped into an "O" shape: "Ah?"

The older patrol captain casually tossed the cigarette butt on the ground, then stomped it out fiercely with his shoe sole, and said in a heavy tone:

"Ah what ah, what I said, did you remember it?"

Although Chen Yang felt indignant in his heart, meeting the old captain's stern gaze, he still lowered his head and nodded.

The older patrol captain continued: "Remembered it? Then this case is handed to you to handle this time; you know how to handle it, right?"

A trace of delight appeared on Chen Yang's face; in the past, the cases the two of them ran into were all led by the old captain with him assisting; this time, he finally got the chance to lead a case?

Chen Yang hurriedly nodded and said: "I understand, I'll just handle it as those prison guards said just now; the charred corpse downstairs was killed by this person, the fire was also set by him, then he was witnessed crashing into those arriving prison guards and was shot dead on the spot."

Hearing this, the older patrol captain's face finally revealed a satisfied smile: "Good, you understood what you heard; that's the right way."

Chen Yang sighed faintly, as if still somewhat unwilling in his heart; he tentatively asked:

"But we all wear official skins; is there a need to be this afraid?"

A look of reminiscence appeared in the older patrol captain's eyes; he said meaningfully:

"This isn't fear; this is the wisdom of survival; there's no need to bring trouble to the Patrol Bureau or invite disaster on yourself for unrelated dead people; everyone wears the same skin; don't tear faces with outsiders; harmony brings wealth."

The older patrol captain patted Chen Yang's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You must firmly remember this rule; this is a lesson the many predecessors of our Patrol Bureau exchanged with blood and tears."

Chen Yang let out an "Oh," quickly finished processing the scene, and called the incineration plant to send a corpse cart to collect the bodies and haul them away for cremation.

These few days, the Patrol Bureau was unusually short-staffed, so there was no need to haul the bodies back to the police station for autopsy and testing; anyway, the case was already solved and classified; later they could just get a forensic doctor to supplement a report.

The two sat in the blue-white car; Chen Yang drove, the older patrol captain sat in the passenger seat, and some physical evidence simply collected from the scene was placed on the back seat.

The older patrol captain half-squinted his eyes scrolling on his phone, when suddenly his pupils violently constricted; on the internet he scrolled to a headline: 【Prison Black Curtain Exposed! Prisoners Rise in Anger, Prison Guards Suffer Heavy Injuries!】

Shocking Revelation, Major News!

This morning a major riot occurred in this district's Second Prison; the news was blocked internally, but Old Tree still got hold of some information, and now releases it for everyone to see.

The older captain was originally half-lying in the passenger seat; at this moment he adjusted the seat upright and sat straight.

Old Tree, full internet name 【Graveyard Old Tree】, is not a traditional news practitioner, but a self-media person who rose on the internet in the past two years.

According to Old Tree's own words, the reason he gave himself this name implies he has already dug his grave and is ready to bury himself in it at any time.

And his content lives up to his name; it mainly focuses on the unknown hidden corners of the Lower City, including but not limited to capital black curtains, tech circle strange tales, some Executive Government Councilors' under-table transactions, and so on.

His articles usually have sharp language, pointing straight at the core of problems, daring to expose and criticize those darknesses hidden behind the light.

In short,

【Graveyard Old Tree】 with his unique unafraid-to-die style and news nose, these two years has fiercely attracted a batch of attention heat on the internet, or rather accumulated hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans, counting as having no small influence in the Nine Districts.

The older patrol captain privately also secretly followed this audacious media person; he wasn't a supporter or fan of 【Graveyard Old Tree】.

He purely did so out of professional sensitivity and safety considerations, using this media person as a "lightning rod."

Meaning: any news content this 【Graveyard Old Tree】 exposes, once it transforms into a case landing in the Patrol Bureau's hands, he avoids it like the plague, absolutely will not touch it.

The older patrol captain straightened his sitting posture, his finger lightly tapping into the webpage's title page.

The moment the page unfolded, a document title marked in eye-catching red font immediately met the eyes — 【Second Prison Last Place Elimination System Implementation Management Measures】.

This document displays as incomplete; the pictures are also somewhat blurry, looking like they were secretly photographed in a hurry.

Despite this, the content recognizable on the document is already enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.

Because, between those lines, whether you look horizontally, vertically, right-side up, or upside down, they actually faintly condense into two words — "eat people"!

"Gonna die yo!"

The older patrol captain turned pale with horror; not pale at "eat people," but terrified that this kind of thing could be put on the table to discuss, and even land on paper in writing!

His finger slid rapidly on the screen until the very bottom of the document; there, shockingly, were several signatures and blood fingerprints.

Some of these signatures and blood fingerprints were photographed a tiny bit blurry, hard to recognize specific names; only the last one was very clear — it was the Prison Warden's signature seal — Qian Huan!

The older patrol captain fixed his eyes on this name for three seconds; he didn't recognize this name, but in his heart he had already sentenced this name to death.

He thought with schadenfreude: "This Prison Warden named Qian Huan, at the very least will be dragged down from this position; even if he doesn't die he'll have to shed a layer of skin."

His finger continued scrolling down; below there was further explosive material from 【Graveyard Old Tree】:

Regarding the above 【Man-Eating Document】, Old Tree doesn't want to analyze further, because any words before "eat people" are pale and powerless.

Regarding this Prison Warden's "man-eating" conduct, Old Tree only wants to send him eight words: Those who eat people, people will eternally eat them!

However, hatefully, the superiors' cruel acts often have not yet suffered due judgment, while the many people below have already paid the price of their lives for him.

This morning, Old Tree received news that the Second Prison experienced an unprecedented massive riot.

According to a prison guard with a conscience leaking it, the vicious environment inside the Second Prison had already reached an unbearable point; prisoners long suffered cruel physical abuse, prison guards also repeatedly suffered torture of conscience, and finally this morning it brewed a huge evil consequence.

The scene was too horrible to look at, simply a human hell; currently inside the Second Prison, there are already over a hundred prisoners dead, and dozens of prison guards sacrificed in the riot...
