Chapter 1112 Wisdom Beyond Imagination

Led by Dennis and the prison guards, Xiao Peng and Frank took a tour of the prison. It would be more accurate to say that Xiao Peng was 'visited' rather than being taken on a tour by them.

The female prisoners in the prison were not polite to Xiao Peng. Some whistled and some even said nonsense. Xiao Peng felt like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

This situation is actually quite scary.

It's not that Xiao Peng is "taking advantage of the situation", it's just that most of the female prisoners here are over 40 years old, all of them have no makeup on and their bodies are out of control.

Western women's skin ages very quickly after they turn 40. If their body shape gets out of control, it will be a truly horrific experience.

Being teased by such women is not a pleasant thing. If there were no prison guards around, Xiao Peng had no doubt that he would be "executed on the spot" by these women.

It's also very scary when a woman goes crazy.

"There are very few Oriental men in this prison - you are the first one." This is how Dennis explained the matter.

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I would rather not have come in. Oh my God, I never thought it would be like this."

Frank laughed after hearing this: "Xiao, are you enlightened now?"

Xiao Peng nodded. "Indeed! Frank, you're absolutely right. The prisoners' wisdom is beyond our imagination."

The official reason for their visit to the prison was to search for contraband. They turned up a ton of contraband, which really opened Xiao Peng's eyes: alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, and even several vibrators...

However, most of the prohibited items here are homemade.

For example, if Dennis hadn't explained, Xiao Peng really wouldn't have believed that the bottle of yellow substance that looked like urine was homemade wine.

They have two slices of bread for breakfast every day. After accumulating them for a few days, they put water in the bread and put it in a bottle to dilute the water. Then they crush the fruits provided by the prison and turn them into alcoholic beverages after a few days. If they put apples in, they get apple cider, oranges get orange wine, and grapes get wine... The wine looks really ugly, but after filtering out the residue inside... huh?

It tastes terrible!

But this thing is quite powerful!

All the prisoners need is alcohol!

As for cigarettes? You can indeed find commercially available cigarettes here, but the quantity is not large, and most of them are homemade cigarettes.

How are homemade cigarettes made?

Cigarettes are prohibited items in prison. Even if there is a supermarket here, you cannot buy cigarettes. Only those "capable" female prisoners can get cigarettes into the prison. Most people still don't have cigarettes to smoke.

So how do they make their own cigarettes?

Cigarettes are prohibited, but tea is not! Prisoners are given a pack of tea every day.

Many prisoners are addicted to smoking before entering prison. Such prisoners can apply to the prison medical staff for nicotine patches to relieve their smoking addiction. This is a substitute for cigarettes. When it is applied to the skin like a plaster, nicotine can enter the blood and relieve smoking addiction.

After the prisoners tear open the nicotine patch, they do not stick it on their skin. Instead, they put tea leaves on the nicotine patch and wrap it tightly. After 24 hours, the nicotine will enter the tea leaves, which are then rolled up with paper to make cigarettes. One nicotine patch can make about 20 homemade cigarettes.

And the way they light cigarettes is even more cruel - lighters, matches and the like are strictly controlled in prison. If you are caught with them, you will basically be thrown into the small dark room. They found four lighters today, and all the owners of the lighters were thrown into the solitary confinement room, commonly known as the small dark room - the same result applies to prisoners who make alcohol, possess drugs, and make homemade weapons.

So how do people without lighters light a fire? They insert wire into a socket to create a short-circuit spark, then use the spark to ignite toilet paper and then light a cigarette...

When people are in trouble, some of their wisdom is really unimaginable to outsiders!

But Xiao Peng really couldn't sympathize with them: If you had used your wisdom in other things, would you be forced to come here?

"I'll ask someone to go to the vegetable garden and call Jelena over." Dennis said at this time.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Dennis, how about this? Can I meet her alone? To be honest, I've never met her and don't know what kind of girl she is. I came to help her because she's the daughter of a good friend of mine. I want to see what kind of person she is first. Is that okay?"

Dennis laughed and said, "Why not? Frank, it's your turn to speak!"

Frank coughed dryly. "Dennis, the following is what's going on. The police have made some new progress regarding the burglary at Councilman Van Peren's house, and we'd like to investigate with the inmate, Jelena Chen. Well, Xiao just helped us solve a murder case, and I'd like Xiao to talk to Jelena Chen and see if he can find another angle on the case. Is that okay, Dennis?"

Dennis said, "Of course. I'll arrange for Jelena Chen to go to the reception room and talk to Mr. Xiao."

Frank smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm here to have a cup of coffee with Dennis. You go talk to her yourself."

"Oh, I'll have someone take you to meeting room number four. There's a problem with the surveillance there. Mr. Xiao, there's something I need to tell you in advance. Although you are a person of high social status, please abide by our Dutch laws and prison regulations. Your meeting cannot exceed 30 minutes." Dennis said.

After he finished speaking, he arranged for the prison guard to take him to the No. 4 interview room, and considerately prepared two cups of coffee for Xiao Peng - one for him and one for Jelena.

Xiao Peng sat in the meeting room, which only had a table and two chairs. When he sat down, the first thing he did was to calm himself down.

He had gained some life experience today: those homemade cigarettes, alcohol, and other contraband had already opened his eyes, but he hadn't expected what happened next to be even more bizarre. He felt both amused and embarrassed when he recalled Dennis's last serious words to urge him to follow the rules.

There are neither guards nor surveillance here, so let alone chatting, even handing any contraband to Jelena is no problem - now Xiao Peng understands where the contraband in the prison comes from!

Xiao Peng didn't know how long he had to wait. He pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He had just taken a puff when he heard the door open. A prison guard was leading a handcuffed girl. Xiao Peng was still worried about whether it would be inappropriate to smoke in front of the guard, but the guard acted as if he hadn't noticed. He locked the handcuffs' chains to the table and said to Xiao Peng, "You have thirty minutes."

After saying that, he left the meeting room without looking back.

Xiao Peng finally spotted Jelena. She was wearing the standard prison uniform and red plastic slippers. She had black hair but fair skin. Ever since she entered, Jelena had kept her head down, looking cautious.
