Chapter 75 Duan Ran's Scandal
"Please put down your weapons and stop threatening the hostages. Let's talk about what you want, okay?"
The soldiers outside found a loudspeaker and shouted to the prison guards in the hall.
They did not dare to shoot easily, after all, there were more than 30 prison guards inside who were coerced by the prisoners.
It is still unknown why the prisoners escaped en masse.
If a head-on conflict really occurred and gunshots were heard, it would cause an uproar within the base and might even cause unrest in the base.
At this moment, in the prison guard hall, the prisoners, following Mu Jiu's suggestion, tied up all the more than 30 prison guards who had been pinned down with ropes and trapped them in a corner to prevent them from escaping.
Long before rushing into the hall, Mu Jiu had already warned everyone that their goal was to be rehabilitated and released from prison, not to rebel and be suppressed.
At the same time, Mu Jiu saw the figure of the young officer, Duan Ran, among the troops surrounding the prison guard hall.
The person who just shouted was the soldier standing next to him.
Mu Jiu was delighted. Her purpose was to alarm an important figure, but she didn't expect that the person who came would be him.
Commander Duan has always been known for his integrity and uprightness in eliminating evil and promoting good. Leaving this matter to him would save a lot of trouble.
Mu Jiu found a police loudspeaker in the hall and shouted to the outside of the hall on behalf of everyone inside:
"If you want to negotiate, you can. Let your boss Duan Ran take off his weapons and come in alone, and we can talk.
In exchange, we can release 10 prison guards.
If you agree, please come in directly. I’m counting down ten seconds now, and no one will be allowed after the countdown expires.
Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Mu Jiu's words caused quite a stir among the outer military forces, and everyone perceived a lot of information in these words.
First of all, the people inside are willing to talk, which shows that this matter is not simple, but there is still room for maneuver.
Secondly, the people inside knew their boss and even knew his name clearly.
Furthermore, the people inside were willing to take the initiative to exchange the boss for ten hostages, which shows that the boss is very important to the people inside. What might this matter be related to the boss?
Finally, the first voice to speak out was a woman's voice, who sounded young.
Could it be that he is a suitor of their eldest brother, a bachelor for thirty years, who has been single all his life and cannot get the love he wants?
With this analysis, this large-scale hijacking case suddenly became a little subtle.
Although this exchange may not be cost-effective, considering the character of their boss, he will definitely be willing to exchange hostages.
Duan Ran felt that the female voice seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
After all, he carries out missions outside every day, and has come into contact with and saved countless people.
Duan Ran was confused and didn't care about his men trying to stop him. When Mu Jiu counted to the last three seconds, he resolutely took off his weapons and equipment and walked into the prison guard hall alone.
When Duan Ran saw Mu Jiu holding a loudspeaker in her left hand and an electric baton in her right hand, he was slightly startled, "Miss Mu!"
"Hello again, Commander Duan!"
After Mu Jiu finished speaking, he signaled to the prisoners behind him and threw out the ten tied-up prison guards as agreed.
"Aren't you supposed to be living in the Level 2 resettlement area? Why are you being held in a prison in the Level 3 resettlement area?"
After Duan Ran finished speaking, he scanned the faces of everyone in the hall. Seeing Mu Jiu's position among the group of people, he couldn't help but ask:
"You planned this hijacking, didn't you?"
It’s no wonder he thought so. After all, the woman in front of him was an extraordinary person.
He is the person who can lead more than twenty weak women, rely on burning firewood for heating in the extremely cold apocalypse, revitalize the land and feed everyone.
Her leadership and ability to take action were so amazing that even he was somewhat impressed.
“Commander Duan guessed it, and I won’t hide it from you. Everything that happened today was to attract official attention.
But it is not quite accurate to say that it was planned. Like most people here, I was imprisoned unjustly and had no place to seek redress.
The police at the base did nothing, and the prison guards even threatened that the only thing that could walk out of here was a corpse.
In this situation, we had no choice but to take extreme measures to seek justice for ourselves.
After all, it is not easy to survive in extreme natural disasters. People come to the base to seek a strong support to survive.
Instead of dying after only living here for a month, what do you think? "
What Mu Jiu meant was naturally the hot spring resort and farm that were forcibly occupied by the government.
But among the people present, only Duan Ran could hear these words.
He is the executor of this matter.
If the authorities had not included that piece of land in the base, Miss Mu would never have been locked up in this place.
And the price given by those official old men was completely bullying the little girl, as they set it too low.
Although the food supplies at the base were tight, they were so low that even he couldn't stand it, and he couldn't undermine them in person.
That's why he tried his best to reach this agreement when Miss Mu asked for the resettlement housing qualification certificate.
"Since Miss Mu has asked me to come in alone to discuss the terms, why not just speak directly.
What do you want me to do to settle this conflict?" Duan Ran was a smart man and spoke directly.
“I want the base prison to sort out the background and evidence of all the prisoners’ cases here and give everyone an explanation.
However, if your base is unable to spare staff to solve the case because it is out looking for food and supplies, then cancel the prison and let everyone go.
After all, if you allow an unjust place to judge justice, you will only suffer a greater backlash in the end."
Mu Jiu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Duan Ran's expression instantly became extremely serious, "What on earth did these prison guards do to make Miss Mu so dissatisfied?
The decision on the prison was made by the top brass of the base, and Duan alone could not make the decision.
But if Miss Mu has any evidence that can be provided to me, I will definitely deliver it personally if it can be passed on to the higher authorities."
Having said that, Mu Jiu let out a long sigh and took out a stack of Polaroid photos from his pocket and handed them to Duan Ran.
“This should be considered evidence, I took these photos in the chaos just now.
The first photo is of a mahjong room made up of an interrogation table in a basement cell.
When we rushed out of the cell, the prison guards who kept saying they didn't have time to deal with the case were playing mahjong.
I would like to ask Commander Duan, is gambling on supplies over mahjong more important than the lives of hundreds of people here?"
Seeing this, Duan Ran frowned slightly.
"The second photo is of the cabinet in the interrogation room, where the prison guards secretly hid a large amount of cigarettes, liquor, tt, and even a lot of small toys.
I think this is probably the stakes they are playing cards with. As far as I know, these supplies are priced sky-high on the base's exchange list.
I don’t know if the salary in prison is very high or if there is plenty of benefits.
After all, since the day I came in, no one here has ever seen my Fire Card again."
Duan Ran's brows were furrowed.
“The third photo is of three pairs of men and women in the dressing room behind the upstairs lobby.
When a few big brothers broke in, they were making love on the sofa with their bare chests, forgetting everything else.
This was the first time I saw such a scene in prison, so I took the opportunity to take two photos as a souvenir and to broaden my horizons! ”
Seeing this photo, Duan Ran's cheeks suddenly turned red. He looked up at Mu Jiu unnaturally and said:
“Ms. Mu, let me handle this matter regarding the prison guards. I will take them all back for trial today.
I agree with what you just said about re-examining the circumstances and evidence of all the cases here.
I will leave a group of people behind to handle this matter and guarantee a satisfactory result for everyone. Is that ok with you?"
