Chapter 99 Welcome, Newcomer

Chen Hua saw that Lu Yao was quite young. He wanted to teach Lu Yao something about the detention center on their way to the jail, but before he could finish, his colleagues in the office began to ask him to hurry up.

Chen Hua was nice almost in every aspect, except for his addiction to gambling.

However, because the salary at the detention house was not high, and his son had been studying abroad all these years, even if he was addicted to gambling, he could not put much money in it.

At this time, he heard his colleague urging him. Although he only lost three to five yuan, he was very anxious.

He had planned to personally send Lu Yao, a newcomer, to the jail, but now he did not want to go.

Just then, Chen Hua saw a man, the new correctional officer who had just come to work in the Tanan Detention House yesterday. His name was Tang Cai. When Chen Hua saw him, he had an idea.

"Little Tang, didn't you go play cards with the colleagues?"

Although Chen Hua was the leader on duty tonight, he knew very well that he was not high in status. He had no actual power at all. Moreover, he still had to ask for a favor, so he walked towards Tang Cai with a warm smile.

Tang Cai glanced at the person who greeted him. He realized that the man was Chen Hua, the leader on duty, so he replied enthusiastically, "No, I'm not very familiar with everyone. I was afraid that I would ruin others' mood, so I came out to take a breath. Why didn't you go play with them, boss?"

"I am not lucky. We had a good time. Suddenly, Captain Niu from the municipal bureau arranged for someone to send a suspect here. There is no other way. I can only send him to the jail first!" Chen Hua helplessly pointed at Lu Yao, who was handcuffed, and said.

"It's a hot summer. Let alone the jail, even the office apartment is hot. How about this? You go and continue to play with the colleagues. I will do this job for you. What do you think?" Tang Cai asked tentatively with a smile on his face.

"That's great!" Chen Hua was overjoyed. He didn't expect Tang Cai to be so good at dealing with people. He just let out a little bit of information and Tang Cai knew what he needed to do. He immediately said to Tang Cai happily, "Little Tang, I'll remember this favor. If you have anything you don't understand here in the future, feel free to come and ask me. I will definitely help you in the future."

"Boss, you are too polite. Isn't this what we newcomers should do? Besides, in those government offices, newcomers have to pour tea for the experienced colleagues and hand over newspapers for them, don't they?" Tang Cai said as he took some of the things Chen Hua had about Lu Yao.

Chen Hua gave all of them to Tang Cai. Then, he turned around and quickly ran toward the office. After running a few meters, he turned around and shouted, "Little Tang, come and play together after you're done. Let me introduce you to the other colleagues. This way, it will be more convenient for you to work here in the future."

Then, before Tang Cai could respond, Chen Hua had already disappeared.

While the two of them were talking, Lu Yao had already sized up Tang Cai from head to toe.

Tang Cai seemed to be in his early thirties. His hairstyle was like that of a soldier of a special troop. The hairstyle was popular among young people. He was tall. Lu Yao estimated that he was at least 1.9 meters tall.

Tang Cai's body looked particularly sturdy. The police uniforms were oversized for other police officers, but it looked like a vest on Tang Cai's body. It seemed as if the uniform was about to be worn out by him.

As they were closer to the jail, the lights became brighter. Tang Cai walked in front and Lu Yao followed closely behind. Tang Cai's strong body basically completely blocked Lu Yao.

If people looked at them from the front, they wouldn't discover that there was another person following behind Tang Cai.

Although this was the first time Lu Yao had seen Tang Cai, he always felt that this person looked familiar. However, even with his current memory and observation, he could not recall where he had seen Tang Cai before.

However, Lu Yao didn't care about these things now because he had learned a lot about the detention center from Ali's explanation.

He knew that the detention center had a very unique name. Many people who worked here would call it "warehouse" because this was not the final place for everyone, but a temporary place to keep them. When the time came, someone would take the prisoners here away.

Moreover, he also knew that the jail in the detention center was not like common prisons, which had rooms for a few or a dozen people. In the detention center, each room would have at least ten people locked inside at the same time.

He even knew that before he entered the jail, he had to go through procedures like check-ups, registration, and fingerprints collection.

He was destined to have no time to rest tonight.

.

.

Sure enough, Tang Cai took him to several places. By the time he finished, almost an hour had passed.

Not to mention Lu Yao, even Tang Cai sweated so much that his clothes were all wet.

This was not because of exhaustion, but because of the heat.

On the night in June, the weather was already unbearably hot. In addition, there were so many people breathing in this so-called warehouse and there was no air conditioner or even a fan.

After completing almost all the procedures, Lu Yao was personally sent to the jail by Tang Cai, who was even "warmer" than the weather.

Even though Lu Yao had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked when he saw the jail. This was somewhat different from what Ali had said.

It was two or three o'clock in the morning. Everyone was already asleep. Lu Yao saw that there were more than twenty people lying on the ground in the three-meter-wide and six-meter-long jail room. Everyone was so close to each other.

Although the room was not big, it was very high. It was almost as high as a two-storey building. This was exactly the same as what Ali had said. He knew that it was specially designed like this to prevent some criminal suspects from hanging themselves.

The innermost part of the room was a loo, which was surrounded by a wall that was half the height of a person. On the right side of the loo was a large shared bed that spanned across the entire room. It was also the so-called berth that Ai Li spoke of. On the left side of the berth was a one-meter wide aisle. At this time, the entire berth and aisle were full of people.

Lu Yao found that the place where the three people in the front part of the berth slept was the most spacious, and the further the place was, the more crowded it became.

He guessed that the person who was sleeping with his legs and arms stretched must be the so-called jail head, because only the jail head would have this kind of treatment, and this was also a means for the jail head to intimidate others in the jail room so that no one dared to provoke him.

Besides the jail head, there were two people who slept relatively comfortably. They should be the head's subordinates, who were so-called thugs.

Tang Cai opened the door and unlocked Lu Yao's handcuffs. Then, he pushed Lu Yao inside.

Tang Cai then used the handcuffs that Lu Yao had worn to knock heavily on the large iron door of the jail room, producing a burst of rapid crisp sounds.

Not to mention the people in Lu Yao's jail room, even the people in the adjacent jail rooms were woken up.

Some people in the next jail who didn't know what was going on even shouted at the top of their lungs, cursing.

"All of you shut up and go to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, come to me then!" Tang Cai shouted, and the whole space suddenly fell silent.

At this time, even the jail head came to his senses. When he saw Tang Cai's tall and sturdy body standing at the door, he was frightened and immediately jumped up and ran towards the door. "Warden Tang, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"

Tang Cai took out two cigarettes from his pocket. He lit one himself and gave the jail head the other. After a drag, he spat all the cigarette smoke onto the old man's face.

Although the jail head took the cigarette from Tang Cai and lit it, when Tang Cai spat the smoke onto his face, he didn't even dare to dodge. He quietly waited for the smoke in front of him to disperse.

"Da Biao, I'll put someone new here tonight. Take good care of him for me!" Seeing that the smoke in front of him had dispersed, Tang Cai said in a strange tone. Then, he threw the remaining half of the cigarette onto the ground and stomped on it a few times.

"I understand. Don't worry, Warden Tang. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!" The prisoner called Da Biao fiercely took two puffs of the remaining cigarette, then threw it away and said to Tang Cai with a flattering smile.

"Go. As long as no one dies, I will take responsibility for everything!" After saying this, Tang Cai turned around and walked towards the door.

.

.

"Get up. The newcomer is here. Everyone, welcome him!" After Tang Cai left, Da Biao immediately wore a vicious expression and woke up the others who were still sleeping.

For a moment, all the people in the entire prison room stood in front of Lu Yao, looking at him with pity.

"You two, go up and teach him how to behave in our room!" Da Biao sat where he had been sleeping and said to the two thugs who had been sleeping beside him.

Lu Yao looked at everyone and found that in the entire prison, only these three people were fat. Presumably, these three people must have plundered all the nutritious food in everyone's dish.

After receiving the order from the jail head, the two thugs rubbed their palms and walked towards Lu Yao.

"Newbie, let us teach you how to conduct yourself in this prison. What do you think?" One of the thugs said with a lewd smile.

"What's more, we won't take tuition fees. As long as you learn well, there will be rewards later on!" Another thug added.
