Leon turned around and saw a man in prison uniform being pushed and brought over by guards.
The warden said: "You two, we are already here. If you need to talk privately, I can lend you my office, but I have to be there to ensure that the prisoner does not behave excessively or even escape from prison."
Wei Yin nodded: "No problem, you are welcome to listen."
Then, he stood up and walked to James: "You are James Wensley, right?"
James nodded: "Yes...sir."
"Oh, it's different from what I imagined." Wein touched his chin, took out the communication terminal, and called up James' photo, "Is this photo of you?"
James looked at the screen: "It's me."
"Yeah?"
"Yes..." James hesitated and added, "I was still very thin at that time."
Leon: "..."
What is this familiar line about?
Moreover, he has also seen photos of James. The man in front of him is in his forties, which is in line with James's current age, but he is obviously fatter than James' original appearance.
The conditions in hell are so bad, how can you still gain weight?
Leon seemed to have guessed why the warden was so nervous and uncomfortable.
Wei Yin clicked and tapped on the communication terminal screen: "This is not you."
James was stunned: "You said he is not me?"
"no."
Suddenly, there was silence in the room. After a few seconds, the warden also stood up with a dry smile: "Haha, Mr. Detective, you really know how to joke. Isn't this James Wensley? Look, these eyes and this nose
,this ear..."
"The loopholes in the lies you weave are too obvious." Wein snapped his fingers impatiently, "A careful analysis of loopholes of this level is an insult to me, Leon, come on."
So isn't it an insult to me? Liang had no choice but to stand up, take the communication terminal, glance at it a few times, and then find the entry point.
"First of all, the most obvious point is that the face shape is wrong." Leon showed a circle with the communication terminal, "James has a typical horse face, while this gentleman has a round face."
"Well, maybe he gained weight because of eating?" the warden wiped his sweat.
"Haha, you must be eating liquid food because of your unhealthy body shape." Wein patted the warden's protruding belly without hesitation.
Seeing that no one objected to this argument, Leon continued: "Secondly, he has no beard on his face and is very clean. According to the warden, prisoners in the bottom prison should not have the opportunity to have such a luxury as beard trimming."
thing."
The warden continued to quibble: "Maybe he just doesn't have a beard in the first place..."
"There is a serious flaw in your words." Leon raised his phone again, "James in this photo obviously has a beard, or a beard."
"Maybe it's a fake beard..." the warden's voice became smaller and smaller.
Wein smiled: "Can't think of a reason? Let me teach you that you can still eat liquid food without a beard."
Liang looked at the counterfeit in front of him and found the third entry point: "The other thing is the sun marks on his body."
"Sun marks?" The warden was stunned.
"Since James, who was imprisoned in the bottom prison, had no chance to relax and stayed in a dark cell all day long for 17 years, it is impossible for him to have such obvious sun marks - such as here on his neck."
Everyone's eyes followed Liang's statement. "James's" skin color was divided by his neck, and there was a big difference in skin color between the front and back.
"Judging from the shape of the sun marks, this 'James' has similar sun marks to the guard next to him. I'm afraid his true identity is also a prison guard, right?"
"This..." The warden was speechless.
Wei Yin: "I'd rather eat liquid food."
This guy really had a sarcastic expression on his face... Liang twitched his lips and looked at the warden: "Do you need more evidence?"
"No, there's no need." The warden shook his hand bitterly, "Oh, you go out first."
After dismissing the two guards, the warden sighed and sat back at his desk.
Leon returned the communication terminal to Wei Yin and whispered: "He seems to be relieved."
"This means that the problem is not with him, right?" Wein did not lower his voice deliberately.
The warden nodded: "James Wensley did escape from prison here, but not during my tenure. James Wensley escaped from Caspers Prison 12 years ago."
"Twelve years?" Liang was surprised, he didn't expect it to be so long ago.
"Since no one cares about the life and death of inmates in the bottom prison, my predecessor suppressed the matter to prevent him from losing his position. However, my predecessor did not want to cause trouble over nothing and offended the former warden who had been promoted to a higher position. He also chose to ignore it.
This is a prison break, so I will do it as usual." The warden sighed again.
If the Imperial Envoy had not been killed and these two detectives had found out that the Imperial Envoy's death was related to an old case, James Wensley's escape from prison would have been kept secret.
Wayne knocked on the table: "How much do you know about James' jailbreak?"
The warden shook his head: "Not much, I just heard about it. It seems that the prisoner in the room next to him got sick and died. This guy didn't know what method he used to sneak out into the dead man's body bag, and
The body of the dead man was not found for some reason when the 'body' was being transported. The jailer still found that James' food had not been touched much after that. There was a smell coming from the cell next door that should have been empty, and he discovered that James had escaped from the prison. I don't know.
Whereabouts."
This method of escaping reminded Leon of the famous "cool" novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" he had read: "There won't be a tunnel in the cell of these two prisoners, right?"
"That's not true. I still haven't figured out how James slipped out of the cell." The warden frowned. "To be able to do this, there must be someone who has the key to help him, but the jailer only has the door."
The key to the small window and the door are both in the warden's office. It's impossible for my ex to let him go secretly, right? Moreover, the deceased person next to James had no relatives, and his body would have been given to Cass.
I am doing research at the University of Pasir Medical School, and there is no news about the escape of the body from the school."
"In other words, James has at least one accomplice." Wein said, "And this accomplice is very influential. He can plan an escape from the prison and can also silence the school responsible for accepting the 'general body teacher'."
James Wensley's escape from prison has cast an additional layer of doubt over the death of the Imperial Envoy, involving more unknown entities.
To this, the warden had no answer.
"Yeah, but I expected James' escape from prison." Wein touched his chin, "It's time for the Suppression Bureau to issue a wanted order for him."
"He escaped from prison 12 years ago. I'm afraid it's too late to arrest him now..." Liang whispered.
"Prison escape?" Wein glanced at him, "Prison escape is secondary. The main reason why he is wanted is that he killed the Imperial Envoy Wilson Swift."
"He is the murderer?"
Liang and the warden said in unison, Liang was stunned, and then said: "It seems... it makes sense."
They speculated that the murderer was involved in disputes in the East Exile 17 years ago, had old grudges with Wilson, and mourned Ron, the victim of the abuse case, which all made sense for James.
James and Wilson served in the same squad; in the abuse case, he took all the charges alone and was imprisoned for about 5 years. It was difficult to have no resentment or hatred; he may have been abusing Ron "
"I played my part", it's possible that he felt guilty towards Ron.
However, there is still something difficult to explain.
"Magic." Liang said, "You said that after a certain age, it is difficult to master the power of magic. James has been in prison for more than 20 years, and he will be in his thirties when he comes out of prison.
He's old, and he doesn't have the qualifications to learn magic as you said."
"I can't explain this at the moment." Wein spread his hands, "But I think we might be able to find out more about this from the mysterious being who assisted him in escaping from prison."
Who was that person? Why did he help James Wensley, who came from an ordinary family and had no one to back him up (it’s easy to see from the fact that James took the blame), to escape from prison. How did he get to know James, and did he help him master the power of magic?
