Director Liu¡¯s arrival was not preceded by a call through the Justice Department¡¯s office. Song Bin heard Director Liu's voice while still in the corridor of the office building. He walked a few steps and came to the conference room. He stretched out his hands to hold Director Liu's hand from a distance: "Hello, Director Liu!"
"What, you went to the prison area?" Director Liu looked nearly 50 years old, with a rosy face and a strong body that had begun to put on weight. "Let's go to your office."
Gao Xiaodan made tea for Director Liu and Song Bin and was about to leave, when Director Liu called him: "Xiao Gao, you also sit down." Seeing that Xiao Gao and Song Bin had both sat down, Director Liu said:
"I was passing by here after a meeting. To make a long story short." Director Liu picked up the water glass and took a sip of water: "I want you to pay attention to one thing." After saying this, he continued to drink water.
As the top leader of the provincial prison system, Director Liu used this tone this time, completely lacking the majesty and support he displayed when he came for inspections in the past.
Song Bin felt something was amiss, so he asked, "Director Liu, if you have anything to tell me, please feel free to tell me."
After a while, Director Liu stopped drinking water. He put down his cup and looked at the two wardens:
"Is there a prisoner named Lu Qiao here?"
It¡¯s Lu Qiao¡¯s name again! Song Bin thought to himself, it seems that this Lu Qiao will be in jail for a long time, and this name will ring in his ears for a long time.
"Yes. There is Lu Qiao. Xiao Gao and I were just dealing with the fight between Lu Qiao and other prisoners."
"Fighting? You mean Lu Qiao was fighting with someone else?" Director Liu burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Just now, Supervisor Song was specifically talking to Lu Qiao. We haven't finished talking yet. Well, when we heard you were coming, we hurried back." Gao Xiaodan guessed that Director Liu might have come to Lu Qiao, so he simply Follow Song Bin's words.
"Lu Qiao is your prisoner now, but she used to be my subordinate! Don't you know this?" A leader is a leader, and one sentence has profound meaning.
The two prison directors definitely didn¡¯t know. The police officers who stay in the prison all day long know very little about things that have nothing to do with the prison. But one thing they both understood was that Director Liu came here because of Lu Qiao.
"It was only after I heard a case analysis at a bar association recently that I found out that Lu Qiao was sentenced. Her case had a great response among the lawyers in the province, who believed that there were problems with the court's decision, but she gave up on it herself Appeal." At this point, Director Liu stopped talking and asked, "How is it? How do you feel about her serving her sentence?"
Gao Xiaodan told the truth: ¡°I was punished three times before this, and the police officer¡¯s reaction was difficult to discipline.¡±
"We are also thinking about how to create some opportunities for her to reform. At least she can spend the next few years safely and have her sentence commuted as soon as possible." Song Bin said while thinking. He hoped that his words would make Director Liu feel more comfortable. From a human point of view, Lu Qiao's sentence must have made Director Liu feel uncomfortable, otherwise the leader of the prison system in the province would not have personally come to defend his former subordinates.
"You have the right idea. Opportunities should be created for her. She is a very good lesbian. Back then, I was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in city n in charge of publicity and education. She was seconded from the government department and worked with me to do a lot of work. She is also one of the 30 female reserve cadres in the province. I originally wanted to transfer her to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, but before the Standing Committee could study it, I ended up transferring her to the Department of Justice. Later I heard that Lu Qiao was in charge of the government To attract investment, alas, it ended up like this.¡±
Song Bin noticed that Director Liu called Lu Qiao using the word "comrade". Was it Director Liu's habitual expression or did he deliberately say it to the two prison directors? Song Bin came to a conclusion in his hurried thoughts, that is: in the eyes of Director Liu, Lu Qiao will always be a good "comrade".
"Director Liu, regarding Lu Qiao's reform during his sentence, how can you best arrange it?" Song Bin simply asked Director Liu to give specific instructions, but Director Liu stood up and said, "I'm leaving. I'll be back in the afternoon." There¡¯s a meeting.¡±
Director Liu said as he walked: "I will not interfere with your work. Let's explore it through practice. Pay attention. If you have the right ideas, you can definitely create a first-class prison management experience."
The two of them watched Director Liu¡¯s car drive away, looking at each other and pondering the meaning of Director Liu¡¯s words. Song Bin said to Gao Xiaodan: "Please use your brain and think about how to do work for this 'comrade'." After that, he hurried to the office.
"Hey, Supervisor Song, I can't pull out this nail, so you should practice it yourself." Gao Xiaodan was afraid that Song Bin would throw away his sleeves and blame Lu Qiao, the "old problem", on himself, so he followed Song Bin and complained. went.
Lu Qiao was still in the police officer¡¯s office receiving a lecture from the district chief.?Gone.
The district chief said he was tired, and it was the sergeant's turn to speak. The police sergeant was thin and small, and his voice was not loud. He and Lu Qiao yelled at each other for a few times, but it became boring. Immediately afterwards, he was responsible for police education. As a result, he also had a dry mouth and a sallow face.
Seeing that the three police officers were silent, Lu Qiao said, "I'm going to work." After that, he walked out the door.
"Stop!" said the district chief: "Who allowed you to enter the workshop?"
"You guys have stopped talking. Can't I enter the workshop? Are you responsible for failing to meet the production value?" Lu Qiao was even more angry than the three police officers.
¡°You promise, you promise not to fight with other prisoners again.¡± The prison chief said.
"I can't guarantee it. Nothing can be guaranteed here. If I don't fight with others, if others want to hit me, then I have to defend myself, right?"
"If you don't write a guarantee, don't leave this office!" The warden has never seen such a hard nut to crack: You dare to be so tough when you come to prison. Who can show you how tough you, Lu Qiao, are? "snort"! The warden thought to himself: I don't believe I can't cure your temper!
"That's what you said. I won't leave this office until I write a guarantee, right?" Lu Qiao turned around and said, "Okay, I won't write a guarantee and I won't leave this office. Let's see what you do!" After finishing, Lu Qiao sat down on the ground against the wall and closed his eyes.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, the prisoners in the workshop stopped working. Lu Qiao sat on the ground without even moving.
At this time, the district chief and the police chief were no longer in the office.
The police officer on duty said to Lu Qiao: "Go out and stand in line for roll call!"
Lu Qiao raised his eyes and looked at the police officer on duty: "The district chief told me not to leave this office until I write a guarantee."
"Go back to the prison cell and write. After you finish writing, leave it to me." The police officer on duty said, and made a gesture: "Hurry up, go out and stand in line for roll call. Don't delay everyone's going back to take a shower and rest just because you are alone."
Lu Qiao then stood up from the ground and walked out of the police officer's office.
Silent tears flowed down Lu Qiao's face. At this time, she truly realized what it meant to lose freedom.
After returning to the prison cell, everyone stood in a row again, waiting for the police officer to call his name one by one according to the order of the cells and call "arrive". Only when the number of prisoners in the entire prison area was quite large, the prisoner on duty began to lock the cell door, and then again The police officer shouted: "Disband on the spot!" The prisoners shouted: "Yes!" The day's hard work was over.
The next step is to wash up. There are four faucets, three shower heads, and three sanitary pits for 12 people. It should be said that it is not too crowded. Everyone went to wash up, and Lu Qiao started to drag out his food box and opened it to find something to eat. After eating a small pack of biscuits and drinking a glass of water, Lu Qiao started to wash up.
When I walked into the bathroom, I saw that the toothbrush in my mouthwash cup was missing. Looking around, I found it was placed in another prisoner's cup. She shouted: "Who used my toothbrush? Whose cup is this?" No one responded.
Lu Qiao took the cup and went to the room to ask everyone, but still no one answered. She went to the bathroom to ask a few people who were still taking a shower, and one of the prisoners admitted that he had used the wrong toothbrush.
Lu Qiao said: "It doesn't matter if you use it wrong. Can you just tell me? You don't have a toothbrush and I can give you a new one. You can't use my toothbrush without saying a word, right? It's so uneducated!"
"Who is uneducated?" The female prisoner who was taking a shower left the shower head with her bare butt: "You are the only one who is educated, aren't you? Why are you in jail if you are so educated?"
Lu Qiao didn't want to talk to her anymore, but the prisoner became reluctant and said, "Your toothbrush isn't made of gold. Are you making a fuss?" As he spoke, he pushed Lu Qiao: "Let me ask you, is your toothbrush made of gold?" Made of gold?¡±
Lu Qiao was already angry, but when she saw this woman's deliberate provocation, her anger suddenly came out. She turned around and grabbed the prisoner's arm, dragged the woman out of the bathroom, and bumped against the iron bars on the edge of the bunk bed. go! Then he rushed to the bathroom and threw all the cups at the female prisoner one by one! Then he picked up a basin of water filled by other prisoners and poured it over from head to toe. Lu Qiao, who couldn't understand his hatred, picked up another basin of water from the sink and poured it over the female prisoner from head to toe. Then the crazy Lu Qiao searched around with his eyes to see if there was anything that could be used as a weapon. Then he heard a loud roar that shocked everyone in the prison cell:
"Lu Qiao! It's you again!" The police officer on duty appeared outside the iron partition of the prison cell and looked at Lu Qiao angrily: "Look, there is water everywhere, including water on the bed. How can others sleep?"
"Report to the police officer, Lu Qiao hit me!" The prisoner who used the wrong toothbrush ran to the police officer and trembled regardless of his naked appearance. The villain first complained: "She hit my head on the iron bar.The police officer must punish her. If she is not punished, the people will not be angry! "
The prisoner on duty opened the cell door, and the police officer said: "Lu Qiao, come out!"
Lu Qiao, who was forced to stand in the corridor of the prison cell, was covered in water. She was waiting, waiting for the punishment given to her by the prison district.
Gao Xiaodan is in charge of prisoner education and reform. It just so happened that it was my turn to be on duty today. She had signed the last few times Lu Qiao had been detained, but this time she did not dare to sign her name on the "Application Form for Confinement of Criminals" easily. She said to the police officer in charge of the Sixth Ward: "You go back first. Lu Qiao should be changed when her clothes get wet. It's not cost-effective if something goes wrong here without being punished here."
Seeing that the police officer from the prison area left, Gao Xiaodan hesitated and wanted to call Song Bin, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dial the button. Gao Xiaodan thought to himself: So what if I just tell Supervisor Song? Doesn't that mean handing over the conflict?
Lu Qiao just stood in the corridor. The weather was not even in May yet, so it was humid and a bit cool at night, and the soaking clothes wrapped around my body were sticky. In the morning, I had a fight with the supervisor "master" in the workshop and was covered in dirt. In the afternoon, I sat against the wall in the police officer's office for several hours. He had just eaten a pack of biscuits for dinner. He had just fought with that shrew-like old woman, and Lu Qiao, who was hungry and sleepy, had already collapsed from exhaustion. She closed her eyes slightly, leaned her head against a corner of the corridor and fell asleep.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but she was gently tapped awake by a hand: ¡°Lu Qiao, I¡¯ll change a bed for you, go wash up and go to sleep.¡±
He is a senior supervisor. This is the first time Lu Qiao has not been punished in three months since he was imprisoned. Tears flowed down quietly, but grievances welled up in my heart. She didn't know whether she was calling for her mother, Zheng Dongsheng, or Shen Fei in her heart. She just felt wronged, sad, helpless, and felt that life would be better than death.
