Chapter 246 The content of the text message, touching Feng Mu
After saying that, Zhou Hu didn't even give anyone time to ask questions. He took out his cell phone with a cold face, made a call in front of everyone, and walked out angrily.
"Stationmaster Lou, I must report to you immediately that another unfortunate incident has occurred in the Second Prison. This time, a captain under Chang Wei was killed. His body was just discovered in the prison's duty room..."
There was a slight tremor in his voice.
"That's right. What other evidence do you need? Apart from him, who else could do such a cruel thing?"
Zhou Hu's speech speed increased and his emotions became more and more excited.
"I have endured it again and again, but when will this end? If it continues like this, I will have to sleep with one eye open tonight. Stationmaster Lou, the Second Ward cannot let him continue to do this. You can't really ignore us..."
Angry roars echoed through the corridor.
The prison guards looked at each other, shock and confusion written all over their faces.
They didn't even know that Chang Wei was in trouble until Zhou Hu's back gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor. They immediately began to whisper to each other, nervously discussing this sudden shocking news. Everyone's expression revealed different emotions and suspicions.
At this moment, a prison guard pushed the door and walked into the duty room. His eyes swept around and finally fell on the cell phone left on the bed.
With a sudden thought, he walked over to pick up his phone, turned on the screen, and saw an unsent text message draft:
——District Chief Chang, something unexpected happened. Wang Cong betrayed us. Feng Mu is not dead. Please hurry up...
The prison guard stared at the text message thoughtfully, with a storm in his heart.
Then, he walked back to the crowd calmly and gently handed the phone to a prison guard with whom he had a good relationship.
The prison guard took the phone, his eyes fixed, and the same thoughtful expression gradually appeared on his face. Then, he quietly passed the phone to another close colleague.
You passed it to him, he passed it to him, and in silence, all the prison guards seemed to be infected by the virus, and they all quietly put on the same thoughtful expression.
They looked at each other, no one spoke, but it seemed that everything was unspoken. As they looked at each other, they completed a kind of tacit communication.
"Feng Mu did it, right?"
"Impossible, Feng Mu was not in prison last night. He was having dinner with us."
"It seems that District Chief Chang also had an accident last night?"
"It has nothing to do with Feng Mu, so it shouldn't be."
"So, it's all coincidence. Someone avenged Feng Mu overnight. Is that what you mean?"
"Do you remember what Feng Mu said to Captain Tian Tao in the incinerator yesterday afternoon? 'The captain seems dissatisfied with my request to shut them up. Then I have to ask him to go down and ask them in person.' Thinking back on it now, those words are really meaningful."
"The most important words came true overnight. The captain really went down."
"This should, perhaps, just be... a coincidence?!!"
The sound of steady and powerful footsteps echoed in the corridor, gradually approaching.
The prison guards tacitly stopped making eye contact, as if guided by some invisible signal. They turned their heads in unison and focused their eyes on Feng Mu, who was walking towards them. He was wearing a neat uniform and had a calm and gentle expression.
They stared at him without blinking, seeing a trace of deep sorrow on his face, and listened to him say in a gentle and compassionate tone: "I heard that Captain Tian Tao was in trouble. I didn't expect that one night of not seeing him would be a farewell forever. Hey, do you know who killed him?"
At that moment, everyone fell silent and stared at Feng Mu with rather strange eyes.
That look didn't seem like he was looking at the murderer, because they had just used reasonable logic and solid evidence in their private eye contact to clear Feng Mu of suspicion.
However, there seemed to be an indescribable emotion hidden in those eyes, as if everyone was searching for invisible flaws in Feng Mu, silently confirming the murderer's appearance, even though objective evidence and logic could not accuse him of the crime.
But... the pursuit of logic and evidence is the duty of the police station, not the professional field of the prison guards. They prefer to follow their hearts.
There seemed to be an invisible tension in the air, as if even breathing had become cautious.
"Hey, Prison Guard Feng is here. To be honest, we are all confused about this matter. Captain Tian Tao is a bad person on a daily basis, and countless people hate him."
The chief prison guard who spoke first sighed, and his tone unconsciously lowered by three points. His attitude towards Feng Mu became more polite and courteous than ever before.
"Yes, it is true that Captain Tian Tao's daily behavior is hard to describe, but I didn't expect that he would leave so suddenly and so miserably."

The other prison guards echoed him, their eyes all fell on Feng Mu at the same time, with a hint of imperceptible flattery and awe in their eyes.
The last prison guard in the line, when his eyes met Feng Mu's, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if Feng Mu's eyes were fixed on him.
He was startled and his fingers involuntarily slid across the screen of his mobile phone, deleting the words in the unsent text message draft one by one, as if those words contained a hot secret.
After he finished, he sighed softly and said in a tone full of kindness and concern: "Hey, the Second Prison has indeed been a bit uneasy recently. We all need to be more careful and protect each other."
In conclusion,
They collectively showed that none of them were willing to go down and ask the captain who the real murderer was who killed him.
Feng Mu sighed softly, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, his voice was low and full of sympathy: "I heard that Captain Tian Tao has a child at home. He passed away so suddenly, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. How difficult their future will be.
Alas, I think we should collectively apply to the warden to try to get a pension for Captain Tian Tao so that his family can have some comfort."
After hearing this, the prison guards' faces froze for a moment, but soon, they showed admiration on their faces, and they all praised Feng Mu's kindness and meticulousness. No one objected to this proposal.
Their smiles were warm and sincere. They surrounded Feng Mu, as if moved by his caring feelings. They vied with each other to express their support and surrounded Feng Mu as he walked towards the warden's office.
However, the strange thing was that despite their lively gathering, they all subconsciously lagged behind Feng Mu by half a body length. If others saw this scene, they would probably mistakenly think that they were all subordinates following behind Feng Mu.
