Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 159 Lecter in chaos

"Then continue." Lecter moved his shoulders and neck to hide his trembling and fear, "When I find out the whereabouts of the gold before the twelfth, even if you kneel down to me, I won't let you stay here!"

  Adel got up and rummaged through the medicine box: "Recognize the reality, we have no possibility of reconciliation."

  Lecter stared at Adel who was treating the wound by himself, and shouted: "Come in!"

  Responsible for pushing Lecter from the infirmary to the warden's office, the prison guard who had been waiting at the door opened the door cautiously after hearing the sound, greeted Adel and Lecter respectively, and pushed Lecter away.

  —

  On October 26th and 27th, Verak obtained from Dawn the detailed prison escape records of as many as 137 large and small, and began to study and analyze these materials non-stop.

  Using the rest time outside of work, Verac, with the assistance of Keating and Dawn, spent only one and a half days reading and sorting out these materials.

  After comparing the 137 jailbreak records, they found that the security mechanism of the prison is becoming more and more perfect. The same jailbreak method had a success rate of 50% ten years ago, but today it may only be 1%.

   But despite the pessimistic information, they got something very useful for the escape plan.

  For example, in the history of prison escapes, the more prisoners involved in riots and prison escapes, the larger the scale, and the closer to the successful escape. This shows that the number of people is a key part of the smooth progress of the escape plan.

For another example, in these one hundred and thirty-seven prison escapes, the places where the prisoners escaped were all concentrated in three places: the square, the cafeteria, and the work area. The prison gates approached. But in the end, without exception, the plan to go to freedom was buried in front of the seven iron gates that were 200 meters away from the exit.

  The setting of the prison is almost impeccable, and it is also the biggest and only problem for them to escape from the prison head-on.

  During the lunch break at noon on the 29th, Verak looked at the floor plan of the prison. He had seen the floor plan of one of the floors countless times.

The areas where the prisoners work, eat, and move around are all set up on the main floor of the prison. It is precisely because the main floor can carry more than 2,000 prisoners at the same time every day, so they set up a total of ten prison guards when there are insufficient prison guards. Two doors.

  The twelve gates are each about 26 meters apart, and four prison guards are arranged to guard them. Among them, there are two doors when you turn left from the stairs to the work area, three doors when you turn right to the square and cafeteria, and seven doors when you walk towards the exit of the prison.

  No matter whether the prisoners riot suddenly from the work area, the square, or the cafeteria, and try to escape from the prison, they can catch the nearby prison guards by surprise. Few of them can break through one door, and many can break through three or four doors. But after that, the prison guards at the next few doors will have plenty of time to close the doors, and it will be impossible for them to leave.

   In addition, this defense mechanism has a very clever point. There is no need to place many prison guards in front of each door, it is enough to complete the corresponding tasks. Even if the prisoners seized several doors, the prison guards they could harm and the weapons they could seize were extremely limited.

  Verak has a headache.

  From the map, there are a total of ten doors to escape from the square to the exit, nine doors to the work area, and eight doors to the cafeteria.

   It seems that the canteen is the closest and the most feasible, but in fact the canteen is the least feasible.

  The far-sighted Adel had already anticipated that the cafeteria would likely serve as a riot spot for the prisoners because it was relatively close to the exit, so he changed the cafeteria, which could originally hold 1,000 prisoners to eat at the same time, to a maximum of 200 at the same time. By reducing the number of prisoners in the cafeteria, even if the prisoners wanted to rely on the advantage of distance to escape from the cafeteria, the difficulty was no less than other plans.

   During the morning release on the 30th, Verac, Keating, and Dawn mixed among the prisoners playing cards for leisure. They carefully planned their locations, and finally worked out their escape route based on the best locations of previous prison escape events.

  Their riot time will be set between ten o'clock and ten o'clock.

   This happened to be the time when the first batch of released prisoners returned to the work area from the square.

  Because there are too many prisoners released, more than a thousand in one batch alone, so when they return, the crowd will be stretched very long, and the five doors from the square to the work area will be opened at that time, so that they can pass through as soon as possible.

They launched a riot when the crowd was long and the five gates were fully open. They could control the five gates in a very short period of time, and they could advance in three directions, all the way to the exit seven gates, and all the way into the work area to liberate the work area Thousands of prisoners preparing for the second release locked the first gate of the square all the way.

  At that time, all the prisoners will riot, and the seven doors leading to the exit will break through at least two, at most four, and the dozens of prison guards who are in charge of supervising the release in the square will also be helpless.

   That is to say, according to this plan, they can take control of seven to nine gates, obtain twenty-eight to thirty-six guns, and solve the threat of sixty prison guards in various ways.

  The next question is how to break through the remaining doors and escape, and how to face the suppression of hundreds of prison guards with guns that will soon be organized.

  Dawn advocated the use of the least casualty approach possible.

Both Veraker and Keating agreed quite a bit. On the one hand, they did not want too many casualties, and on the other hand, they also considered that too many casualties would most likely destroy the morale of the prisoners, causing them to collapse quickly like the previous escapes. Handled by prison guards.

   It's just that it's not easy to think of a way to escape from prison without causing heavy losses.

  The three of them discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a practical solution, so they had to go back and continue thinking.

  The same day, that is, October 30th.

  Lecter has basically recovered and can go to the field. After regaining mobility, the first thing he did was to promote the implementation of the letter-writing rewards for prisoners.

   Ordered the prison guards to arrange paper, pens, and envelopes, and distributed them to all prisoners except Verak and Keating, so that they could start preparing to write letters. Prisoners who could not read even got caring help from prison guards under Lecter's instruction.

  After arranging this matter and quickly causing an uproar among the prisoners, Lecter asked Veraker to meet in the infirmary.

"You haven't been here since the football match." Although Lecter recovered from his illness, he had a different feeling about the infirmary after staying in it for so long. Lie on the hospital bed carelessly.

"The wound has basically healed, so I didn't come." Verak replied, "Actually, I planned to stop applying medicine before the game, but at that time we needed to meet here every day, so I thought I would come here and apply it by the way." You didn't call me over during this time, so I didn't bother to apply."

  Lecter specifically told Veraker not to come to him these few days. The obvious reason was that he needed to rest, but in fact he was worried that Veraker would question whether he could fulfill the reward. Now that he has regained his mobility and started to implement these, he finally called Verak over with confidence.

   "I remember you told me before the game that the football game is likely to be a suitable opportunity, so after so many days, is there any new progress on the whereabouts of gold?" Lecter asked about gold's clues.

   This matter is now related to his future. If he does not get the exact location of the gold before the 12th of next month, he will definitely lose the battle with Adel and be forced to leave Daimans Prison.

   "No." Verak shook his head, "Mr. Keating, you have to give me some time."

"I can give you time, but the question is whether it is useful to give you time?" In the precious five or six days, Verak did not make any progress. Lecter was very disappointed, and suddenly felt that his breathing was not smooth, "A week ago you How can you ask for some clues? This time? It’s been more than a week, and there is such a big event as a football game, how can you not ask at all?"

  Villac explained with reason: "I think the problem is still with you."

"How to say?"

"The reason why I told you before the football game that the football game is likely to be the key is because the prisoners will have the opportunity to write and send letters once they win. At that time, other prisoners will write letters to family and friends, Keating Mr. has no rights, he will definitely feel envious when he sees it, and this is very likely to be the key to his willingness to tell the golden clue." Verak said, "But I tried my best to let the prisoner win the game, but your side is There has been no movement for five or six days, and the rewards have just started to be implemented today, how can I get it for you?"

   "You mean, you worked so hard before, so you cared about whether you could win the game just to find out the whereabouts of the gold?" Lecter's head grew bigger and bigger.

  Verak's original intention was good, but he let the prisoner win the game, Lecter began to ride a tiger, and could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Of course, otherwise, why do I have to work so hard? Does this competition have anything to do with me? I have no right to write a letter after winning." Verak fooled Lecter, changed his tone by the way, and asked about the implementation of rewards today, " Don’t you have to wait until the twelfth of next month to send the letter? Only then will the ship arrive, why do you ask everyone to write letters so early?”

Lecter was impatient and wanted to pretend that he would fulfill his promise as soon as possible, so he arranged for the prisoners to write letters early: "This is not, this is not the letters that the prisoners have written, we still need to check. Make sure there is no special content, It’s just a simple greeting. Of course, this inspection will take time, at least ten days, right? Letting them write it earlier is also for their own good.”

   "Can you really do it?" Veraker was a little uncertain about Lecter's mind at this time.

  After Lecter's series of actions, he began to dare not arbitrarily determine whether he had the ability to help the prisoners write letters. But this matter is not important, anyway, they must escape from prison before the twelfth of next month, whether Lecter can do it or not has nothing to do with them.

   "My father—"

"Okay, okay, I know." Hearing that Lecter moved out his father again, Veraker interrupted hastily, too lazy to listen to what Lecter emphasized no less than a hundred times, "Then you should implement it, and I will hurry up and continue." Take it from Mr. Keating."

  Lecter asked cautiously: "Do you know now? How long do you think it will take to find out the whereabouts of gold?"

   "I'm not sure, but there are still two months before the time we agreed on. I feel that within two months, I can ask anyway." Verak gave Lecter a vague and general answer.

   "It's better to hurry up, within a month, within half a month." Lecter advised.

Upon hearing this, Verak re-confirmed that Lecter really couldn't fulfill his promise. He did so many fake actions to confuse himself and make himself mistakenly think that he would really help the prisoners send letters to the outside world, so as to continue to maintain trust : "Half a month? How is this possible? Is it possible that you want to advance again? We set the time early in the morning, and two months is two months."

   "I wasn't in a hurry at first." Lecter explained, "But the situation outside is not very optimistic now."

Outside?

  Verak's pupils shrank slightly, and his voice was a little low: "What do you mean?"

Lecter sighed and sat up from the hospital bed: "The main reason I called you today is to talk about this matter. Today, when my father and I were routinely reporting on the progress of the gold investigation, I heard my father say that the government and equality Negotiations in the meeting have become very pessimistic."

   "Very pessimistic?"

"Yes, my father guessed that the result is very likely to be a failure of the peace talks, and estimated that the formal negotiations will end in half a month or a month." Lecter said while glancing at Verak from time to time, "It's not that you guys The Equality Association will definitely fail to negotiate with the government, but since my father has said so, there is still a greater possibility. I am also thinking of you. If they fail to negotiate, you will definitely not be able to go out in a fair manner. If you want to go out, don’t you have to rely on gold?”

   "However, even if the external negotiations fail, why worry about gold?" Veraker really couldn't understand Lecter's logic.

   Obviously, the news that the so-called peace talks between the Equality Council and the government are not going well is also false. This is still a clumsy lie fabricated by Lecter in order to persuade him and urge him to ask about the whereabouts of the gold as soon as possible.

  In the eyes of Veraker, Lecter's position is already in chaos.

   This might not be an opportunity.

   Lecter doesn’t actually have any extraordinary intelligence. He can safely run amok in prison until now, all thanks to his father who is the Minister of Justice.

  His father didn't want him to stay in prison and be an insignificant warden. It was only because he made some achievements in the golden affairs that his father made a little retreat.

  Now, if Lecter doesn't make any more progress on gold, he'll have no reason to stay here.

  His father will take him away, and Adel will kick him away.

  The formulation of the frontal prison escape plan is just a step away, Verak thought, it is also time to push the conflict between Adel and Lecter in the backup plan to the peak.
