Chapter 160 The Ugly Beast
Stockholm Prison.
"The time for sitting and reflection is over. We will count the number of people later, and then it will be time to relax."
The jailer's call rang in Primo's ears, and he put away the He crossed his legs and then started to stand up slowly. He couldn't stand up too fast because he had been sitting quietly and reflecting for 45 minutes with his legs crossed, and now his legs were very numb.
And if you stand up too quickly, you will feel dizzy in your head.
Primo stood up and subconsciously started the next journey:
14:30~15:30 - Counting people, sitting down for the second time to reflect.
15:30~16:00——Second release.
To be honest, life in prison reminded him of his student days, except now the teacher was replaced by a jailer and his classmates were replaced by inmates.
Oh, by the way, at the same time, there are no young, beautiful and lively members of the opposite sex here, but that’s not bad. Most of the young and beautiful love in the student days has nothing to do with him. Well, it should be said that it has to do with most of them. It doesn’t matter how many people there are.
Apart from these, his days and life are still so regular and "fulfilling".
During the break time, Primo did not play ball on the playground with the inmates with strong limbs, nor did he hang out with the thorns who hid in the corner and smoked with the guards behind their backs. They are generally characters who are not easy to mess with in prison. Their ability to get cigarettes proves that they understand the rules of the game here.
Everything is so familiar, just like the public school he stayed in when he was a student, everyone will form a small group of their own.
Every prisoner in the prison claims that he is innocent - the reason why they came in was because they were framed by cruel judges, incompetent lawyers, police officers, and became victims, or else they were just unlucky. .
In this test of life, everyone here performed abnormally, including himself.
When Primo came to the shabby bench where he usually stayed in a daze, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes. After proving that he had no hallucinations, he showed an expression of disbelief.
"Mr. Primo, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Sitting on the bench is a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes, holding a copy of the Stockholm Daily News in his hand 》, legs crossed; beside him lay a large dog with white hair and red eyes, and the large dog was yawning boredly.
"You..."
Primo didn't know what to say for a moment, how did the young man in front of him come in, and what happened to the dog.
"Would you like some hot shrimp paste toast?" Xia Xiu folded the newspaper in his hand, picked up the package of shrimp paste toast and handed it to Primo.
"Ah...uh...thank you."
Primo took the toast handed to him with an unnatural expression, feeling the toast through the wrapping paper The heat coming from him made him sure that he was not dreaming.
"What on earth are you..."
"Mr. Primo, sit next to me. I also have a special fruit drink here. You can eat it first."
A warm smile appeared on the handsome face of the blond young man. He patted the empty seat beside him and motioned for Primo to sit down.
Primo came to the other party and sat down.
"You probably haven't eaten outside food for a long time. The food in prison must be very inappropriate." Xia Xiu smiled at Primo as if chatting with a friend.
Primo recalled the strange foods he ate every day, and then looked at the fragrant toast in his hand. He couldn't help but swallow.
"Are you a devil?" Primo turned his head and looked at the other person's perfect profile and asked.
"No, I am an angel." The blond young man replied with a smile.
If the other party is really some terrible guy, no matter what I do, it will be useless. Primo thought.
Looking at the toast in his hand, Primo finally couldn't hold back the greed in his stomach. He opened his mouth and took the first bite, then the second, and the third.
Gobbled it up, while Xia Xiu next to him thoughtfully handed him a glass of juice.
When Primo leaned on the bench and looked at the sky with peace of mind after eating, the gentle voice came from the side again.
"Mr. Primo, I have a question to ask you."
Here comes the price.
This is indeed what Primo thought.
“What do you want to ask?”
“You are the head of the tram company. Three years ago there was an accidental collision between a tram and a tram, and here Part of the responsibility is because you misappropriated the reconstruction funds allocated to you by the government.”
Xia Xiu spoke slowly in the warm sunshine, while Primo beside him froze.
“The victim of the case three years ago was a woman, and you were thoroughly investigated for this matter. The final result was that you were sentenced to fifteen years.”
Primo lowered his head with regret.
"You people are really interesting. You have obviously committed a crime, but now you are pretending to have a bad conscience." Xia Xiu said to Primo with a sneer.
But Xia Xiu didn't care whether the other party was really sorry or not. He just came here to piece together the jigsaw puzzle of Lina's case.
"Hughes Robin, you should know him." Xia Xiu asked Primo.
Primo was stunned for a moment, he was a little surprised that the other party said this familiar name.
“He once worked for me, but then he resigned.”
Primo recalled it carefully, and then continued:
“He He resigned a month before the accident.”
Primo had a rough memory of Hughes Robin's resignation. After all, he resigned a month before the incident.
"Did Hughes Robin be responsible for the No. 101 line where the accident occurred before he left his job?"
"Yes."
After listening to Primo As he spoke, the blond young man's index finger and thumb of his left hand began to turn the ring on his right index finger.
Inexplicably, Primo couldn't help but shiver. Just now, he felt a biting chill.
"What kind of person do you think Hughes Robin is?" The blond young man continued to ask questions casually.
Primo recalled it in his mind. He was very impressed by the young man because he exuded an aura of "young walking dead".
Hughes Robin has the nihilism that belongs only to young people. He is like himself who has just stepped out of the ivory tower: he lies all day long, and these lies are very expensive. A poor young man I always choose to lie in order to live a decent life, but these lies still require careful calculation and holding on to every penny.
Adults have to experience many setbacks before they can slowly stop living in the eyes and expectations of others.
"His life should be very bad. To be honest, tram buses are already a product of the old times. Even if he doesn't resign, he will be laid off soon. I heard that he also has a man from the countryside. Wife, a family like this is always in debt.”
"Oh, by the way, I remember one thing. That guy seemed to have been involved in pornography. I heard that a woman was tortured by him to the point of calling the police."
After hearing this, Xia Xiu was generally sure. Realizing his suspicion, he got up and started to walk outside
"Really..." "Can I ask why you are looking for Hughes Robin..." Pulley Mo couldn't help but ask Xia Xiu who was standing in front of him.
At this time, the sun was shining on the blond young man. Primo saw the other person turning his body sideways and smiled at him and said:
"The lady Lena who died three years ago was the wife of Hughes Robin."
The corners of the blond young man's lips were showing undisguised mockery.
When Primo heard this sentence, he instantly thought of something, and a chill rose from the bottom of his head to the top of his head.
Primo opened his mouth to ask something more from the blond young man, but when he looked up again, the handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes and the large white-haired dog had disappeared.
Everything just seemed to be his hallucination.
········
【It is now six o'clock in the evening, air quality: good. 】
[Temperature: 5~7℃/light rain, no continuous wind direction<Level 3]
Hughes Robin ran into the rain shelter in front of him in an unusually embarrassed manner. With his hair soaked, he frowned and looked at the hazy sky above his head. At this time, the looming Razor was rolling in the dark clouds.
“Hu——”
Hughes stretched out his hands in front of him and let out a breath of hot air to warm his hands that were red from the cold. He hated winter rain, especially this kind of cold rain. It was easy for him to get acne on his body due to the arrival of winter. Frostbite usually occurs in awkward places, such as the toes.
The itching that comes from time to time between the toes is the most uncomfortable, and you can only relieve the itching by constantly flexing your toes through the boots.
Hughes waited and watched for a while, determined that the rain would not stop for a while, and he was now trapped in it.
Hughes turned around and planned to find a seat in the rain shelter. When he just turned around, he saw a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes drinking a steaming cup of beer. coffee, and a stack of documents on the young man's knees.
The blond young man is holding coffee in his right hand and a document in his left hand. He is looking at the document in his hand with interest, and at the same time, he opens his mouth to take a sip of hot coffee from time to time.
Hughes couldn't help but look at the large white-haired dog lying next to the young man and another cup of steaming coffee placed by the young man in the empty space on his left hand.
The blond young man seemed to have noticed his gaze. The other person pointed to the unopened cup of coffee, raised his head and smiled warmly at him:
"You want to drink it."
A very cheerful young man, this was Hughes' first thought.
“If you are willing to give it to me, I am willing to pay you three times the market price.”
Winter, rainy days, heavy wind... under such circumstances, it is difficult for anyone to refuse a cup of hot coffee.
To Hughes's surprise, the blond young man shook his head and refused.
"Sir, I like equal exchange, so this cup of coffee has a price, but the price is not limited to money. In exchange, I would like to ask you to tell me a story, a few simple sentences will do."
Hughes was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing:
"You are really an interesting person. May I take the liberty to ask, are you a novelist? Only those who like writing stories will have this inexplicable interest.”
"Well, my current career is very close to that of a novelist." Xia Xiu replied with a smile.
He didn't lie. His current occupation is a detective, and detectives always appear in the works of novelists.
Detectives are always favored by novel writers. The stories written by novelists also make people unknowingly have an inexplicable liking for detectives. However, in fact, most detectives have no interest in stories. So miraculous, the police superintendent system in various countries also puts detectives in an extremely embarrassing position.
At this time, Hughes had come and sat down in front of Xia Xiu. The icy cold wind had already made his nose red. He couldn't wait to pick up the coffee on the side and took a sip, which was full of warmth. The coffee flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and the warm heat made him exhale.
"Phew——, I feel much more comfortable. If you want to ask anything, just ask." Hughes turned to Xia Xiu and said with a smile.
The blond young man glanced at the ring on the ring finger of Hughes's left hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Hughes: "You are married. If you can, tell me about the relationship between you and your wife." Story, love is always a topic that people talk about."
Hearing the blond young man's question, Hughes couldn't help but raise his hand and look at the ring on his left ring finger, and he answered happily. :
"I met Wendy two years ago. She is seven years younger than me. When I met her, she was still a freshly graduated student."
Next, Hugh Si began to chatter endlessly to Xia Xiu about the happy and interesting stories between himself and Wendy. Xia Xiu listened and nodded with a smile, as if he had been moved by the other party's beautiful love story.
Ten minutes later.
"...That's it. I proposed to Wendy, and she agreed to me."
After Hughes finished telling his love story, he turned around with a look of anticipation. Waiting for the other party's reaction.
"Wonderful and wonderful."
Xia Xiu clapped his hands with emotion on his face, a bright smile on his face.
Jiam, who was lying next to Xia Xiu, couldn't help but look at Hughes with pity after seeing his boss's familiar smile.
This guy is hopeless and should wait to die.
"Mr. Hughes, I'm actually trying to write a novel recently. Would you like to follow along and listen."
The blond young man spoke to Hughes in a sincere tone at this time. Robin said.
"Oh, then I'm really interested in listening to it." Houston became interested.
“My story is about a car accident.”
“There was an accident at a roundabout at a three-way intersection. At the time of the incident, the car hit the wall at an almost vertical angle on the outside of the roundabout. Traffic police After on-site inspection, it was confirmed that the impact speed was over 80 km/h and there were no brake marks at the scene. By conducting a blood test on Zhou Jin, the police ruled out the possibility of drunk driving. "
" Speaking of the husband who was driving. He was seriously injured and his wife in the car died. Originally, this was just an ordinary traffic accident, but you know what’s the strangest thing about it.”
The blond young man rubbed his chin and looked at Hughes, who was a little unnatural. , there was a hint of cat-and-mouse banter in his golden eyes.
"What's weird? Isn't this..." Hughes asked absently.
"No, no, no, this is not an ordinary traffic accident."
The blond young man said with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth:
"The family of the deceased discovered multiple insurance policies afterwards. If the wife dies unexpectedly, the husband can receive up to 500,000 yuan in compensation. "
"In other words, there is a conspiracy to kill his wife and cheat her insurance."
Xiu. Si smiled stiffly and said:
"It's really a dramatic story. The audience will definitely like it. I think the rain is about the same..."
Just when Hughes was about to change the subject, he saw the blond young man take out a card The photo was placed in front of him.
“No, Mr. Hughes, my story has just begun. The case I just mentioned provided a source of inspiration for the protagonist of the story, and the protagonist of the story I want to tell is comparable to the husband in the story just now. It’s even more hypocritical, it’s more cunning, and it makes people feel...disgusting!”
The young man with blond hair and golden eyes stared at Hughes and chanted slowly:
“Just! Among the jackals, dogs and leopards, monkeys, scorpions, vultures, and poisonous snakes;
In this evil and despicable zoo, crawl among the reptiles, roaring and snarling.
But there is a beast, uglier, more vicious, and more despicable!
It does not shout loudly, and its behavior is low-key;
But it deliberately wants to reduce the world to a ruined wall. "
"Hughes Robin, you are that ugly beast. ”
