Chapter 158: The Scapegoat
There was no daylight in the prison of Wangchuan City. After Jiang Chen had a solid sleep, he woke up and found that there were still dim lights flickering around him.
The cell where he was imprisoned had no windows, only a cell door made of fine iron, with some light coming in, but he could barely see things within three steps, which was only a little better than being unable to see his fingers.
Jiang Chen stretched out and ignored the crying and howling sounds that came from the other end of the corridor from time to time.
He knew that Shen Yinglong would take action sooner or later after getting himself into this prison, so he was not in a hurry to find a way out, and any act of crying out for himself was pointless.
It would be wiser to save this little energy and recharge your batteries.
With Jiang Chen's intelligence, how could he not figure it out? At this time, he couldn't even feel the slightest panic. Even though those shrill screams were disturbing, he still had to be calm and calm.
Although Shen Yinglong did not show up, the psychological game between the two had already begun.
Shen Yinglong must also be thinking at this moment, how to put more mental pressure on Jiang Chen. Overwhelming a person can often achieve the goal through both physical and mental levels, and the methods are endless.
However, Jiang Chen has already made up his mind to settle for what he has come. Although it seems difficult to break the situation, it is by no means without a chance.
He sat up cross-legged and calmly entered a state of mind with his eyes closed, but the disturbing noise outside the cell still did not stop, and it was unknown who was being tortured.
From the Shuixie Dungeon in the royal capital of Jinyang to the current Wangchuan City Prison, Jiang Chen's identity has suddenly changed.
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, never expecting that he would end up in jail one day. It was really not as good as God, and what was even more irritating was that Shen Yinglong had carefully plotted against him.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the cell. Every time I lifted up and fell down, there was a crisp sound of the iron chain scraping across the ground.
"What a northern bear? I think he's just a little bigger. After being tortured, he screamed heart-breakingly and his nose and tears spurted out."
"Don't tell me, this big guy is as strong as a bear and looks quite capable of bluffing people!"
The conversation between the two jailers reached Jiang Chen's ears.
It turns out that the man Xiong who was defeated by Shen Yinglong was also imprisoned here, and it was the cry he made while being tortured just now.
Somehow, Jiang Chen began to sympathize with this big man, because he realized that since Shen Yinglong could use a trick to frame him for killing Jizhou Mu, would this man, Brother Xiong, have also been wrongfully accused?
Although Jiang Chen didn't know what the charges were against the Northern Territory Bears, the distinction between good and evil was not so clear when Shen Yinglong was involved.
"Brother Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here again."
An impressive voice came as expected, Jiang Chen had heard the footsteps before, and Shen Yinglong's pretentious look was ridiculous.
Opening the cell door, Shen Yinglong walked in quickly. His face was hidden in the darkness, but judging from the tone of his words, he was quite sympathetic to Jiang Chen's experience.
"I just heard about this. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao, the pastor of Jizhou, would die unexpectedly. Brother Jiang just bumped into him."
Jiang Chen said: "So, Mr. Shen thinks I didn't kill anyone?"
"That's of course. Although Brother Jiang and I have only met each other for the second time, we have a good time drinking and chatting. We have the same feelings. I know that it is absolutely impossible for you to do such a thing."
"There must be someone else who killed Mr. Zhao. It's just that Brother Jiang was unlucky and became the scapegoat."
Shen Yinglong said it seriously, as if Jiang Chen's best friend came to express his concern, but the two of them knew each other tacitly, how could Shen Yinglong not understand that in fact, Jiang Chen had long believed that he was The mastermind behind all this.
But this layer of window paper really can't be broken right away, and the game between the two is still going on.
"Brother Jiang, please follow me and write down everything you saw and heard during the incident. I will do my best to clear your name."
"Then I'll thank Mr. Shen first."
Jiang Chen did not refuse. He wanted to see what methods Shen Yinglong would use to deal with him next. Now that he was in trouble, if Shen Yinglong wanted to get something from him, now would be the best opportunity. .
Walking through the long, narrow and deep corridor, Jiang Chen noticed that in the cells on both sides, pairs of eyes were staring at them silently in the darkness. He didn't know who was being held in this cell, but he guessed that they were Some extremely dangerous criminals.
Because the layout of this entire prison is different from ordinary prisons, the most distinctive feature is the complex internal structure, with long corridors distributed in a zigzag shape, connecting dozens of cells on both sides.
If someone wants to escape from the cell, they can only go out along this narrow and deep corridor, but they will definitely be discovered by the jailer on the way, and this is the only way out.
When this prison was built, the height was deliberately lowered. If Jiang Chen jumped on the spot, he would easily hit the top of his head. This is one of the main reasons why the light is dim. When you first step into this prison, you can feel it. A very strong sense of oppression.
In addition, prison doors made of fine iron can be seen everywhere inside the prison, and even the walls cast between cells are extremely solid, leaving nothing to be taken advantage of.
Although in terms of level, it is not on the same level as the Water Pavilion Dungeon in Jinyang City, it is definitely not easy to escape. After Jiang Chen observed these clues, he also secretly felt a headache.
This would mean that if he wanted to escape on his own ability, he would have almost no chance of success.
Continuing to walk forward, Jiang Chen was brought to a relatively spacious area. He walked out of the narrow corridor behind him. The lights in front of him were bright, and he felt like he was suddenly enlightened.
He saw the northern man-bear. At this time, the big man's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and the four iron chains were so tight that he could hardly move even a little bit.
What was even more uncomfortable was that the thick chain that locked his neck had been deliberately adjusted in height, so that the man-bear had to stand on tiptoes at all times to ensure that he could breathe smoothly.
Once he relaxes, the chain can directly wrap around his neck, causing him to lose his life in painful suffocation.
"What crime did this man commit?" Jiang Chen asked.
Shen Yinglong was startled at first, as if he was saying that you are in disaster yourself, why do you still have the time to care about other people's affairs?
