Seventy percent of the prisoners here are minor offenders or criminals awaiting trial.

These people are characterized by their ability to endure and avoid trouble, waiting to leave rather than getting involved in fights.

Kevin was always the boss in prison, and no one dared to mess with him except for Lin Feng and Selena.

She stared at Sarah: "Kevin had a conflict with Lin Feng at the exercise yard, and many people saw it."

Lin Feng has a huge motive and is a suspect.

Once these injured people regain consciousness, they will tell the truth; the truth cannot be hidden.

Sarah shrugged, her tone remaining calm: "You don't need to tell me that."

As the head of the disciplinary team, you are responsible for investigating anyone you suspect.

Find the evidence and handle it according to the rules.

My job right now is to do everything I can to save these injured people's lives and reduce the prison mortality rate. Please don't interfere with my work.

Selena felt a tightness in her chest from Sarah's unyielding and even subtly protective attitude.

She glared at Sarah, said nothing more, and strode out of the infirmary.

Upon reaching the corridor, she immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and coldly relayed the order: "All off-duty guards, assemble immediately in front of the rest area of ​​cell block B."

Repeat: All off-duty guards, assemble in the B block rest area.

"receive!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Soon, more than 20 prison guards, fully armed, lined up in the corridor outside the rest area.

The piercing emergency assembly whistle echoed throughout the entire prison area.

"All prisoners, assemble immediately in the rest area."

You have three minutes. Anyone who doesn't arrive within the time limit will be locked up in solitary confinement.

The prison guards rushed into the cell corridors like wolves, shouting and driving away the prisoners.

The only exception was when they arrived at cells 2A01 and 2A02, where they didn't shout or yell, because Lin Feng was living there.

The prisoners all knew what had happened and dared not delay. They came out of their cells and, escorted by the prison guards, gathered in the rest area.

More than four hundred people stood in a dark mass, the air thick with tension and unease.

Selena stood on the stool, looking down at the viewer with eyes full of anger.

"Just now, an extremely heinous incident of group violence occurred in the bathroom."

This resulted in eight prisoners being seriously injured and in critical condition, with extremely negative consequences.

Selena's voice came through a small megaphone, echoing in the quiet rest area.

"I'm giving the person who's going to do this a chance."

Who instigated this? Who struck first?

They should come forward and admit it, rather than letting us find out ourselves.

Once the eight injured people regain consciousness, you won't be able to escape.

She paused, then raised her voice, her tone becoming more threatening, "The punishment will be doubled, and there will be absolutely no leniency."

"I'll give you one minute to consider."

She pressed the stopwatch.

The rest area was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The prisoners kept their eyes down, their minds blank, some with their heads bowed, others with wandering gazes; not one of them uttered a sound.

Time passed second by second.

Time was up, but no one stepped forward.

Selena's expression grew increasingly grim. "Fine, very well."

Nobody's admitting it, is that right?

"So you've decided to cover up the murderer?"

Her voice rose in anger, "Then tonight, nobody's going to sleep. Until someone confesses, or we find out the truth!"

After she finished speaking, she walked straight through the crowd and came to Lin Feng in front of him.

"Prisoner 3792" Selena's gaze was like a nail, trying to pierce through Lin Feng's defenses.

"Answer me, did you do what happened in the bathroom?"

In an instant, hundreds of eyes in the entire rest area focused on Lin Feng.

The air seemed to freeze.

Lin Feng raised his eyelids to meet Selena's almost fiery gaze, and asked calmly, "Sir, what are you referring to?"

I went back to my cell after showering and had no idea what happened in the bathroom.

Selena's chest heaved with anger. She took a sudden step forward, almost pressing herself against Lin Feng.

Lin Feng could even feel her warm breath spraying on his face.

Lin Feng leaned back slightly, creating some distance. "Captain, don't get so close. You have bad breath. Eat less sweets. You're a classic case of constipation and being all skin and bones."

"Hahaha," the prisoners and guards present couldn't help but laugh.

Selena instantly flew into a rage: "Fuck you, shut your mouth! I don't need you to remind me!"

"I'll give you one more chance. Did you do it?"

"Sir, perhaps we should ask those people in the bathroom?"

"I gave you a chance!"

Selena took a step back abruptly, no longer trying to break through Lin Feng's defenses.

She turned around and sternly ordered the surrounding prison guards: "Men, take all the prisoners, one by one, to the interrogation room for questioning, according to their cell numbers."

I refuse to believe that among so many people, not a single one dares to speak the truth.

"Yes, Captain."

The prison guards responded in unison and began calling people out according to the list.

The long and exhausting siege began.

The prisoners were called out of the line one by one and taken to different interrogation rooms or offices that served as temporary questioning rooms.

Time passed slowly amidst the oppression.

Selena personally interrogated Li Honggang, one of the key figures.

Prisoner 3793

"Here, sir!" Li Honggang replied immediately;

"Look me in the eyes and tell me, was the riot in the bathroom just now instigated by Lin Feng?"

"Did you see him do it with your own eyes?" Selena stared intently into Li Honggang's eyes, trying to catch any trace of a lie.

Li Honggang looked distressed, but his tone was very firm: "Sir, I really don't know."

When I went to take a shower, there was nothing in the tub.

"I'll give you one more chance." Selena's voice turned cold, carrying a mixture of temptation and threat.

"If you tell the truth and provide valuable clues, I can consider applying for priority processing of your case, allowing you to see the judge earlier, and even try to reduce your detention time."

But if you lie and cover up the murderer, I wouldn't mind transferring you to an illegal immigrant detention center.

Detention center for illegal immigrants.

Li Honggang's heart skipped a beat.

But the image of Lin Feng's cold and ruthless gaze when he broke Kevin's finger immediately flashed before his eyes.

Thinking of the ambiguous relationship between Lin Feng and Dr. Sarah.

Reporting Lin Feng is only a waste of his time.

Selena's threat was indeed terrifying, but Lin Feng's revenge would definitely not be delayed overnight.

As long as he remains adamant and refuses to admit anything, Selena has no evidence, and ultimately the matter will have to be dropped.

The lesser of two evils.

Li Honggang's bitter expression deepened, and he almost cried: "Sir, I really just went to take a shower."

I don't know anything, what do you want me to say?

No matter how much Selena threatened or bribed him, or even slammed her fist on the table and roared, Li Honggang remained stubbornly unchanged, repeatedly saying "I don't know," "I didn't see it," or "I'm taking a shower."

Selena could only helplessly wave him away and send him on his way, then move on to the next person.

The interrogation was like hitting an invisible wall; more than an hour passed, and the prisoners being interrogated were changed one after another.

The number of people in the rest area dwindled until Lin Feng was left standing alone in the middle of the empty space, looking particularly out of place.

And all the prisoners who were questioned, whether white, black, Latino, or Asian, whether they were henchmen like Matthew and Paul.

Or perhaps it was those two Korean prisoners who had been constantly bullied, and even some prisoners who were usually close to the Blood Gang—their stories were remarkably consistent:

"have no idea."

"I didn't see it."

"The game was already over when I got there."

"I was so busy taking a shower."

No one admitted to involvement, and no one identified Lin Feng.

They weren't fools. Pointing out Lin Feng would not only immediately invite this ruthless man's furious retaliation, but they could also be implicated in charges of participating in the riot and face additional punishment.

Lin Feng's ruthless methods and terrifying strength have been deeply imprinted in everyone's mind through the bathroom incident.

Prison guards at least have rules and restrictions when they beat people, but Lin Feng is truly ruthless and capable of making you wish you were dead.

Most of them were only guilty of minor crimes and could be released after a few days or ten days in jail. Nobody wanted to offend a devil who could kill them at any moment just because of the threats from prison guards.

More than 2 prisoners were interrogated in shifts for two hours, and despite being subjected to coercion and bribery, they were unable to extract any information from them.

This eerie, collective silence left Selena and all the prison guards involved in the interrogation feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

Ultimately, Selena had to face this frustrating reality.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her surging anger, and picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Marcus, Jensen."

"You two, go and bring 3792 to interrogation room A-3."

"Roger that, Captain."

Marcus and Jason, two prison guards who had assisted Will and Robinson in interrogation room B-7.

After receiving the order, they exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of hesitation and apprehension in the other's eyes.

They walked toward Lin Feng, who was standing alone in the center of the rest area.

In stark contrast to Selena's aggressive demeanor, the two hesitated slightly, their expressions strained to convey a hint of polite ingratiation.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin," Marcus approached, his voice unconsciously lowering, not even addressing the prisoners by their numbers or surnames as he would with other prisoners.

"The captain requests your presence in the interrogation room; there are some matters he needs to inquire about with you."

Lin Feng: "No problem, I'll cooperate."

"This way, please."

"Without handcuffs?"

Marcus quickly waved his hand, forcing a slightly stiff smile: "No need, Mr. Lin, it's just routine questioning to assist with the investigation."

We believe you are innocent; just cooperate with the process.

His attitude even had a hint of ingratiation. Jason, standing next to him, quickly nodded in agreement.

The shadow of Robinson and Will's successive mysterious and sudden deaths hung over Lin Feng like a sword over their heads, and every prison guard who knew about it was terrified of him.

They might not have been so terrified if they had known they died from some known poison or from a clear homicide.

But it is precisely this kind of inexplicable, sudden, and undetectable death that is most chilling.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Privately, not only Marcus and Jason, but many prison guards were whispering among themselves, casting suspicious glances at Lin Feng.

Some absurd rumors even began to circulate, claiming that the Chinese man knew witchcraft, understood "curses," and could kill people invisibly using "mysterious Eastern powers."

Although reason tells them it's absurd, when faced with inexplicable, continuous deaths, primal superstition and fear always prevail.

A mere four thousand US dollars a month, pre-tax, why work yourself to death?

The male prison guards were wary, but many of the female guards were excited and eager to talk to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was fairly satisfied with Marcus and Jason's pragmatic attitude.

He nodded, his tone indifferent: "Let's go, lead the way."

Go and meet your dedicated and conscientious captain.

As they passed by, two female prison guards, biting their lower lips, deliberately bumped into Lin Feng while carrying the ball.
