On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Daxiong had been in jail for more than three months, and there was still about a month left before the trial of his own case.
At 11:30 p.m., lunch was served at the Criminal Detention Center of Longcheng Police Station on time. In cell 106, more than 30 suspects were already sitting on the bunks, forming a formation, waiting for someone to prepare meals.
A criminal detention center is very different from a formal prison, because it is where suspects awaiting trial are held, and the management system is relatively strict. For example, family members are not allowed to visit, people are not allowed to leave the prison for recreational activities, etc. In short, people enter this place.
Once inside, and before the official trial results come out, the suspect has almost no possibility of leaving this cell except for being interrogated by the judicial department.
More than 30 people were locked up in a room of only 40 to 50 square meters for four to five months, and they were always thinking about the outcome of their trial, so the mentality of the people here was somewhat distorted.
Especially suspects who have committed serious crimes are filled with countless negative emotions, and each of them looks weird.
When it was time to eat, Big Bear squatted at the prison door early with a basin in hand, preparing to receive the suspect's meal from the food delivery port.
Daxiong is mentally retarded and can't speak fluently. In addition, he is relatively introverted, so the three months he spent here may be more painful than the three years spent by other ordinary suspects. Because this is a small town full of sins.
In society, if a suspect is picked out at random, he is someone who violates laws and disciplines outside. They are not good people, so you can imagine what Da Xiong will experience here.
Bullying! Almost everyone in the prison was bullying this young man with congenital defects, doing all the dirty work for him, and even making fun of him in their spare time.
Da Xiong squatted at the door of the cell and dutifully received the food for more than thirty people. Then he took his own small plastic rice bowl, grabbed some food, and squatted in the corner of the room to eat.
During the meal, the familiar suspects all communicated with each other in low voices, but no one paid any attention to Da Xiong. He squatted alone in the corner and strictly followed the prison regulations not to make any noise or make loud noises while eating.
Big Bear has a big appetite, and one person's meal cannot satisfy him at all, so he eats very slowly, as if he is reluctant to devour it. He breaks the hard bun into pieces, puts it in the soup, and drinks it carefully.
After lunch, the suspects began to lie down on the bunks as required, preparing to take a nap.
The big bear hugged his legs with his arms, squatted in the corners of his corners, and yawned non-stop.
A prisoner came over, lowered his head and said to him: "You are still on duty at noon today!"
Big Bear raised his head and glanced at him: "Brother...brother, I'm too sleepy...I've been on night shift for several days in a row."
"Bang!"
The prisoner went up and kicked the big bear on the head and cursed: "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
The big bear was kicked in the head so much that he was dizzy. He pursed his lips and looked at the other party. He only nodded and did not retort.
In a criminal detention center, three to two prisoners must be on duty during sleeping hours, because police officers cannot lie in the prison and keep an eye on the suspects all the time, so the suspects must supervise each other to avoid that kind of behavior.
Serious criminals commit suicide, hurt others in an explosive manner, or cause other troubles.
Daxiong has been on duty for many days in a row. He has been on the third shift at night, which is in the middle of the night, from two o'clock in the morning until the morning, and he is also on duty during the lunch break. Therefore, the time he can sleep every day is the same as every night.
First half of the night.
Da Xiong can endure the physical exertion because he has been doing this since he was a child. But the mental consumption has brought Da Xiong to the edge of mental collapse.
The accidental murder case of the top tank, the selective abandonment of his parents, his own confusion about the future, and the various experiences in the prison, Daxiong can only bear it by himself. There is not even anyone around him who can nag.
At noon, Daxiong and another person were on duty together. They each sat in a corner of the room and did not disturb each other.
Daxiong leaned his head against the cold wall and naturally thought of his third sister again, the days when he was talking nonsense with Gou Liuzi, and the small iron box in which he secretly hid his money.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared in the corner of Big Bear's mouth. There were too few things in this world that could make him miss and make him happy. He could only recall them carefully, carefully, and over and over again.
Maybe he was too tired, or maybe after being highly depressed and exhausted, people instinctively need to adjust themselves, so the big bear leaned his head against the wall and fell asleep, and soon started snoring.
At around twelve o'clock, creaking footsteps were heard on the bunk floor. A prisoner walked up to Big Bear, looked down at him, and slowly raised his arm.
Diagonally opposite, the suspect who was also on the afternoon shift looked at this scene and grinned meaningfully.
"Snapped!!!"
An extremely clear slap sounded, and the sleeping bear was suddenly woken up. He was defenseless just now, and he was stunned and frightened by the slap.
"Who told you to sleep, ah?!" The prisoner bent over, pointed at the big bear and cursed: "The police will come over and sneak into the prison later and see you sleeping, what should I do? Are you looking for trouble for me?
!”
Daxiong looked at the other party in shock and anger: "I...I have been on duty for a long time. I...I am too sleepy. I can't control it."
"Damn it, you think you're still at home, you can come wherever you want? This is a detention center, people are like beasts here, and you still negotiate terms with me?!" The prisoner habitually raised his feet and ran towards the big bear's door.
He was kicked in the head.
"Bang!"
In shock and anger, the big bear stood up suddenly, raised his arm and knocked the prisoner down directly.
If the weight of an adult hits the hollow plank, how much noise will it make?
"Gudong!"
A muffled sound echoed throughout the quiet prison corridor.
All the other prisoners in the room woke up, and the eldest brother, who had the highest status in the prison, asked sleepily: "What's going on?"
"He fell asleep on duty and beat me."
"You stupid fool, you don't want to be treated well, do you?" The eldest brother in the prison sat up and shouted: "Beat him!"
"Hoola la!"
More than a dozen people in the prison rushed over, surrounded the big bear and started to take action.
The big bear leaned against the corner, relying solely on his weight and strength to knock down three people in an instant. He fought like a bear. If you punch him, he might not feel any pain, but if he punches you, it will basically hurt him.
It's almost like being hit with a hammer.
Although the big bear was brave, it could not support itself alone. The prisoners swarmed up and knocked it down.
There is an extremely ironic phenomenon here, that is, many of the people who participated in the beating of the big bear were also targets of bullying and had very low status in the prison, but at this moment, they all had red eyes and participated in the beating of the big bear.
I know there is a deep hatred between them.
The fight in the prison quickly alerted the police, and then the alarm bell rang in the prison corridor.
…
Within the city.
Xu Hu suddenly called Tang Baiqing: "I have some news, please come over right away."
at the same time.
Su Tianyu was at home, happily preparing gifts for visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival: "Second uncle, would you like to send something to the Bai family?"
"Okay, you can give Bai Dabiao some hot red pants. I remembered correctly, this is his birth year." Su Zhengcai replied politely.
