World War I

Chapter 138 The Fate of Death Row Inmates

Although we didn't find the fortress, we were close.

Luo Ye was inspired by the white-haired bear's words and found inspiration.

As a person who traveled through time, he was more sensitive to changes in space. He once again remembered the light that night, the light that appeared when he was tracking the Mammoth Spirit approaching the fortress, and the foggy scene when he was escaping.

"Do we really need to find someone to throw it down and argue its authenticity?"

Luo Ye sat in his office chair, muttering to himself. Turgenev, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at him and said, "I don't believe White Bear's lies, and no one else does. Only you, a fool, believed him and wasted precious aviation gasoline. Their maps are fake, just waste paper. We should change the direction of our search and not die on the same tree."

"The map shouldn't be wrong."

"Well, even if the map is correct, who do you plan to find to jump down? Is there anyone willing to jump down? Once he jumps down, will the German fortress immediately appear before our eyes?"

Luo Ye thought about this question.

“You’ll know after you jump.”

"Jumping down would lead to death. There are so many rocks at the bottom of the cliff that even a god would die if he jumped down."

“I still want to give it a try.”

"Finding someone who can jump down is a prerequisite. Where can you find such a person?"

Outside the office, One-Eye walked in and heard this sentence, "I have a good idea, I wonder if it will work?"

"Tell me!"

"We can definitely find a death row inmate. He's going to die anyway, so let him release his final energy and atone for his sins to society."

Luo Ye's eyes lit up, then he shook his head in an instant, "This is too inhumane. No, give up this idea, give it up immediately."

Turgenev tilted his head. "One-Eye, I didn't expect you to have some brains besides your bad mouth. Why didn't I think of that? We can give it a try. Capturing Product No. 1 is a top priority. This is a case supervised by the Russian Investigative Committee. In Russia, no case is more important than capturing Mammoth! For the sake of national interests, sacrificing a death row inmate who should have been shot is nothing. It's just a different way of death. Don't Americans like to use electric shock to end the lives of death row inmates? Why can't we try a different method? Act now. Luo Ye, let's go find Director Knuckles right away. There's a prison near the county town with serious criminals inside. Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly."

Luo Ye was still lazily lying in the soft chair when Turgenev grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up.

"Kidnapping—"

------

County Police Department, Chief Knuckles' Office.

"How many death row prisoners do you want?"

"I want one first."

"Is it reliable? Why do I feel this is so absurd?"

"Whether it's ridiculous or not, why not try it and you'll know?"

After entering the office, Luo Ye hardly spoke, while Turgenev and Knuckles were talking.

"Luo Ye, your opinion."

"I object. It's inhumane. If we make him a mercenary, that would be okay."

"Turgenev is right. As long as it's for the case of Product No. 1 and to arrest that damned devil, we must do it at any cost. This is in the national interest."

Two hours ago, Turgenev was still dismissive of the white-haired bear's statement, but now he was anxious and interested. Luo Ye suspected that this guy was an executioner in his previous life.

"Since you all agree, then fine, let's do as you say."

"I'll find the death row inmate, but this has to be kept secret!"

"I see. What kind of death row inmate is the Chief looking for?"

"I've already chosen one. He's a tough guy, with a similar background to Turgenev. He was also a special police officer, has amazing marksmanship, raped and murdered four women, and killed four more pursuers during the manhunt. He nearly escaped from prison twice, strangling a male prison guard and raping and killing a female prison guard during the escape. Ten deaths wouldn't be enough for this kind of person, so I've chosen him! But I'm warning you, this guy is meticulous, vicious, cunning, and has extraordinary skills. He's more difficult to deal with than a mafia boss, so don't take him lightly."

"what is his name?"

"Samlov."

On the way back from the county police station, "Captain, Samlov is not a member of your Hellfire SWAT team." "Do you want to be beaten?"

"The steering wheel is in my hands, try it."

Turgenev looked at the scenery outside the car window and suddenly smiled and said, "Can you understand why I do this?"

"I understand. You've gone to extremes to capture Product Number One."

"The death row prisoner will be brought in tomorrow morning. Have a good rest tonight."

At night, Luo Ye was in a daze in the office. The plan was implemented too quickly. Before he could react, Chris walked in in pajamas.

"The door has been renovated and reinforced. Turgenev can no longer kick it open."

As soon as Chris came in, she sat on Luo Ye's lap with her arms around his neck.

"You look like you're worried."

"No."

"My charm has disappeared so quickly, no way."

Luo Ye smiled and pinched her fair and tender face, "Every time you show your affection, you always have a request. What do you want to buy?"

"You're really smart. I haven't decided what to buy yet, so I've put a small advance on my account."

"How many?"

"It's like checking the accounts. Do you need to ask so clearly, dear——"

Chris pulled with both hands and the pajamas fell off.

"You really are like a cow with green hair."

"Really? Then I'll stuff you to death!"

After Chris entered the office, One-Eye and Panzi were eavesdropping outside the door, and they could hear clearly the conversation between the man and woman in the house.

When the time was almost up, One-Eye came to the policewomen's dormitory.

Irina stood at the door of the director's room. One-Eye muttered something in her ear. Irina had a complicated expression, but finally smiled and said, "Can my nephew really handle her?"

"It's not a should, it's totally possible. Chris's screams are scary, and everyone in the police station can hear them."

"Really? Why didn't I hear it?"

----

At eight o'clock in the morning, three police cars drove up to the gate of the town police station, and Clifford Holmes, the warden of Black Puffer Prison, got out of the first police car.

"Are you Luo Ye?"

"Yes, I am, sir!"

Luo Ye was waiting at the door of the police station early in the morning. He saluted, but Turgenev did not move at all, as if the warden had not come. The warden's police rank was not as high as his.

The warden returned the gesture. "This is an extremely dangerous individual. I'm sure Director Knuckles has already explained his situation. I'll just say this: Black Puffer Prison is the most fortified in Siberia, with the strictest security system. There are countless barbed wire fences, police dogs, and sniper towers. The bars of the cells are thicker than your arms, and yet he almost escaped. I hand him over to you. If he escapes, it's your responsibility. Sign."

The warden personally handed the red document handed over by the prisoners to Luo Ye.

Luo Ye took a quick look, took the pen handed to him by the warden, and signed his name.

The last police car, which was like an armored vehicle, brought a man escorted by four prison guards, his arms tied behind his back, his hands handcuffed, and his feet in heavy shackles.

His face was covered with a black cloth and his mouth was wrapped with tape, revealing his two large nostrils.

After handing over the prisoner, the warden left immediately with his men without stopping for a moment.
