shawshank prison.

The warden looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face becoming more and more ugly. The newspaper said that a thief turned himself in to the police station and admitted that he was the one who killed the two men that year. This meant that Andy's case was likely to be overturned.

He had previously thought that Andy would not be able to overturn the verdict, and that it would be impossible to overturn the previous judgment unless there was extremely sufficient evidence.

I never expected that a thief would turn himself in.

At this moment, the warden even suspected that the thief was deliberately arranged by someone to take the blame. Such things as taking the blame were not uncommon, and he knew a lot about them.

I thought about the lawyer who came to see Andy two days ago.

It can't be such a coincidence.

Someone must be working for Andy.

He didn't care whether Andy was wrongly accused or not. What he cared about was that Andy knew too many of his secrets.

Help him evade taxes, falsify accounts, and launder money.

Once these things came out, it would be the end of Sam Norton.

Not only will he lose his position as prison warden, he will most likely be sent to prison. Maybe Andy won't tell anyone, but he doesn't want to put his fate in the hands of others.

Putting the newspaper on the table, a cold light flashed in the eyes behind the prison warden's long glasses.

Captain Hailey received a call from the warden and came over quickly, "Warden, you are looking for me."

"Haley, did Hardy also file false tax returns for you?" the warden asked.

"Oh, yes." Haley replied.

He knew he couldn't fool the warden about this.

"Take a look at this newspaper. There's news that may interest you." The warden threw the newspaper to Haley.

Haley took it and started reading it, her eyes widened after she finished reading it.

"Someone admitted to killing Andy's wife, so shouldn't Andy's case be overturned?" Haley said in surprise.

"Yes, if the verdict is changed and he is found not guilty, he will be released from prison. But he knows too much about us. If it leaks out, can you imagine what the consequences will be?" The warden looked at Haley with a gloomy look.

Haley's expression kept changing.

If his tax evasion is exposed, he will definitely lose his current job and the tax bureau will prosecute him. The lighter punishment will be paying tax and the heavier punishment will be imprisonment.

"Warden, what do we do now?" Haley asked.

The warden's eyes flashed coldly, "The best solution is to shut him up forever."

"You mean kill him?" Haley asked.

"Do you have any better idea?" The warden glanced at Haley.

Haley gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to kill him right away."

The warden nodded. "Now that Andy's story has been exposed, someone must be watching him. If you take action directly, you might be implicated. It's best to think of a safe way to let the prisoners in the prison do it, and then say it's revenge. There are a lot of serious criminals here, and they can't get out for the rest of their lives anyway, so killing one more person doesn't matter. Give them some benefits and promise that they can live a better life in prison in the future, and someone will do it."

"I understand, Warden." Haley nodded.

Haley arrived at the prison, his shoes clacking on the corridor floor, and he looked inside each cell he passed.

Others thought he was patrolling the cells, but no one knew he was looking for the right person to do the job.

In a cell, several guys were chatting. Haley heard the sound and looked over. He saw a prisoner named Damon bragging to the others. Damon was a murderer who had killed several people. He was also a small boss in prison and had a gang of people following him.

Haley thought about it.

Several prison guards were called in to open the cell door.

"Everyone stand at attention~!"

Following the prison guard's shout.

Everyone jumped off the bed and stood on the ground.

"Search for prohibited items. If anyone hides prohibited items, haha, just prepare to be punished." Haley said coldly.

Many prisoners looked grim.

It didn't take long for the prison guards to find a large number of contraband items in the room. The items were so numerous that they could be described as varied.

Cigarettes, marijuana, lighters, ropes, files, cheese cubes, fruit candies, and even a guy who made a cage out of wooden strips and kept a mouse in it.

"Five sticks per person as punishment." Haley said coldly.

Soon,

Screams were heard one after another in the cell.

Haley stood next to Damon, looked at him and said, "Your case is the most serious. Hiding the file is enough to put you in the solitary confinement cell for a few days."

"Take him to my office first." Haley said to one of his men.

Inside Haley's office.

Damon stood in the open space. He had no idea why Haley, the prison lord, asked him to come to his office.

Teach yourself a lesson?

It's fine to stay in prison, there's no need to call them out individually.

"I remember you are sentenced to life imprisonment, with no possibility of sentence reduction or parole, right?" Haley said calmly.

"Yes." Damon responded.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will live in this prison for the rest of your life, until you die of old age. I have something for you to do. As long as you help me complete this task, I will give you special care in the future. For example, if you hide contraband like this, you can get a lighter punishment."

After Haley finished speaking, he leaned close to Damon's ear and whispered in a low voice:

"Don't think I don't know that you're living a comfortable life in prison as a cigarette dealer. If you don't obey me, I'll take extra care of you in the future. Think about whether your life in prison will be easy in the future?"

Haley is the captain of the prison police and has great power.

If he targets me, I will be very sad in the future.

"What do you want to do?" Damon asked.

"I will only tell you if you agree. Once you listen to me, you can't regret it." Haley said.

Damon was silent for a moment.

He knew that since Haley asked him to do something, it must be no good. He could already guess 80% of it.

It's nothing more than letting him kill people.

Paying a jailer to help kill a prisoner is not uncommon in prisons. Some people do it for revenge, while others do it to shut someone up.

"I agreed," Damon said.

Haley smiled softly, it seemed like things were going well.

"While you were taking a walk, you had a conflict and a fight with other people, and you accidentally killed someone," Haley said.

"Who did I kill?"

"A prisoner named Andy."

Damon paused slightly, then nodded.

"I see."

Haley picked up a box of cigarettes from the table and threw it to Damon, who quickly caught it and said, "Okay, go back and don't hide prohibited items anymore."

Damon leaves Haley's office.

The next day.

All the prisoners came out to sunbathe.

Andy chatted with Old Black Red and Old Bull for a while, then found a cool corner and lay down, watching the people on the court running around and exerting their energy.

The others hang out together in groups. Almost everyone in prison forms gangs. The various gang forces outside have actually already extended into the prisons.

Damon sat in a corner of the playground, surrounded by his younger brothers. His eyes found Andy, who was also a legendary figure in Shawshank Prison.

Many people bullied him at first, but somehow, Andy got in touch with the warden, and no one dared to bully him anymore.

The prison library used to have only a few dozen old books that had long been worn out. I heard that this guy kept writing letters to the state government, and later he insisted on getting hundreds of books and some records. The songs played in the prison have since been changed to new ones.

Damon called his most loyal subordinate and whispered a few words in his ear. The guy nodded and walked slowly to the side.

After wandering around for about half an hour, the man came up to Andy and asked in a low voice, "Do you want a cigarette?"

Andy shook his head, a little surprised. He had been here for many years and these people should know that he doesn't smoke.

At this moment, the man whispered quickly in Andy's ear: "Someone wants to kill you, be careful."

Andy was shocked.

Someone wants to kill himself, why?

The lawyer who came to the prison a few days ago brought hope to Andy, and he has been excited these days.

Now suddenly someone tells me that someone wants to kill me.

He didn't know what was going on lately.

Before Andy could react, the cigarette seller got up and left, walked towards other people and continued selling cigarettes.

Andy's heart was in turmoil.

Who wants to kill himself.

Why kill yourself?

Who felt it necessary to kill himself?

Suddenly.

A flash of lightning flashed through Andy's mind. He looked up at one of the windows of the building in the distance. That was the warden's office.

The exercise is over.

Everyone returns to prison.

When Damon walked into the corridor, Haley was standing at the door. He glared at Damon fiercely, and his meaning was very obvious: why didn't you take action?

Damon shrugged, a helpless expression on his face.

Indicates that he has no chance to take action.

As for whether Haley could understand what he wanted to express, I don't know.

And in the afternoon.

Lawyer Bob and Henry come to the prison again to meet Andy.

Meeting room.

Bob took out a newspaper and said to Andy with a smile: "Mr. Andy, take a look at this first."

Andy took the newspaper with some confusion, but when he finished reading the news, he was shocked and his eyes turned red.

"Is this true? Is this true?" Andy asked Bob excitedly.

Henry smiled.

"Of course it's true. Don't worry, the thief has confessed everything. The gun he used to kill people has also been found and has been sent for inspection. The results will be out soon." Henry said.

Attorney Bob said, "I have formally requested the state court to re-examine your case. The state court has accepted it. I believe it won't be long before you can walk out of Shawshank."

Wuuuuu~~!

Andy hugged the newspaper and started crying.

He was so excited.

He suffered a lot of injustice during the seven years of imprisonment.

He didn't expect that he would finally wait for this day.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry, thank you, Lawyer Bob, and thank you especially Mr. Hardy," Andy said crying.

After venting,

Andy suddenly remembered something.

Looking at the prison guards a few meters behind him, Andy lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Henry, Attorney Bob, I heard someone tell me that someone wants to kill me."

Bob was stunned.

Henry frowned slightly.

"Do you know who wants to kill you?" Henry asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. Someone secretly sent me a message telling me to be careful because someone wants to kill me. I don't know anything else." Andy said.

Henry nodded.

"Just be careful during this time, I'll take care of the rest."

After the meeting with Andy, Henry and Bob left. After returning to the city, Henry made several phone calls in succession.

That afternoon, several groups of people came to Shawshank Prison to visit, including Damon. His cousin came to visit him with some belongings.

In the evening.

Henry knew everything.

Boss Hardy asked me to arrange someone in the prison. It was really foresighted. The prison captain actually hired someone to kill Andy.

Henry called Hardy.

After listening to Henry's report, Hardy was not too surprised. He had seen the movie and knew that the warden asked Andy to launder money and falsify accounts. Now that Andy might overturn the verdict, the warden would inevitably have other thoughts.

"Henry, give that warden a warning!"
