Chapter 88 A Bandage

"..."

Are you poisonous? I have my head covered, how can you find me?

Although he got a pretty good badge from the female police officer, it was still quite embarrassing to meet her. Leon really didn't want to meet her, so he pulled the corner of his coat tightly and continued to pretend to sleep.

After tapping a few times without any response, the female police officer wanted to use more force, but felt that was really impolite, so she bit her lip hesitantly, wondering whether to continue.

At this moment, the female prisoner who had been watching coldly beside her probably saw her plan. She gently bumped her shoulder and said expressionlessly:
"Don't change it, I won't run away."

"..."

You said you won't run away, so you definitely won't run away? A man who claimed that nobles were all lice in their crotches, and still insisted that he was not a rebel!

Although she sympathized with the other party's situation, the female police officer was not stupid enough to believe the criminal's promise. Not only did she not give up on waking up the man who was pretending to be asleep, she even put more strength in her hands.

After all, disturbing someone's sleep is just impolite, but if the prisoner really escapes and hurts someone, it is no longer a question of politeness.

"Sir? Sir? Wake up!"

"gentlemen?"

Seeing the female police officer ignoring her and still insisting on "harassing" the man next to her amid the roar of the boiler, the female prisoner was silent for a while and couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you believe me? If you think I would lie to you, why did you insist on investigating the Ryan family according to what I told you?"

"It's not a question of whether I believe you or not, but I have to do my job well."

After checking the prisoner's condition, she found that her mood seemed unstable. In order to avoid unexpected troubles, the female police officer had to turn around and responded seriously amid the roar of the boiler:
“Although my job is somewhat special, I am still a police officer of the Police Department after all and I have the responsibility to do my job well and try to avoid affecting the lives of ordinary citizens.

So I can't relax my supervision of you just because I think you won't hurt anyone, nor can I give up investigating the case because I hate your behavior of killing ordinary people or I'm worried about offending the Ryan family."

"..."

After listening carefully to the policewoman's answer, the prisoner could not help but remain silent for a while, then looked at her as if she were a monster, and continued to ask with surprise in his eyes:

"Is that why?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Forget it... just pretend I never said anything..."

After looking at the policewoman who looked stunned by the question, the female prisoner actually changed her previous obedience and said with a slightly mocking expression:
“Dear Miss Isa, when I first learned your last name, I was a little skeptical, but now I am sure.

You must have a close relationship with the new person who took office in the military at the beginning of the year, right? At the very least, you should be a distant relative of his, or even his direct relative."

? ! ! !
"I guessed right, didn't I?

"Haha, I should have thought of that earlier. After all, only a family like that could raise someone as naive and stupid as you."

Looking at the policewoman next to her with a very surprised expression, the female prisoner, who was about 40 or 50 years old, seemed to be provoked by something and sneered. Her face with a lot of crow's feet and sun spots revealed contempt and ridicule from the bottom of her heart.

"Ms. Isa, who comes from a distinguished family, I'm afraid you don't know what the consequences will be if you want to fulfill your duties here and insist on doing the 'right' thing!"

Before the policewoman could recover from the shock of her family background being exposed, the female prisoner began to take advantage of the situation. She stretched her handcuffed right hand out from the clothes used to cover her chest, poked her chest hard, and whispered gloomily, "My husband was an investigator in the military's combat readiness bureau. Six years ago, on the eve of the outbreak of the Patriotic War, he discovered that the company under the name of the Ryan family used black cotton purchased at a low price to replace the carefully selected cotton wool to produce bandages, which was very easy to cause wound infection after use.

After reporting the incident to his superiors several times without any results, he insisted on reporting it to higher-ups again and again for the same reasons as you. However, since he still received no feedback and was repeatedly reprimanded, he also wrote a letter of complaint to the person in the military department at that time. Guess what he got in the end?"

"Is it... dismissal?"

"Of course not, it's a huge reward!"

Looking at the stunned female police officer, the female prisoner smiled and leaned her head over. Amid the deafening roar of the boiler, she whispered indifferently:
"After receiving the letter, the military officer immediately ordered a thorough investigation and replaced all the defective bandages. He received applause from everyone in the army. My husband also received the commendation he deserved for his contribution and was transferred from the War Preparation Bureau to the more important Confidential Bureau. Our daughter and I also moved into the allocated housing.

Unfortunately, less than two weeks later, not long after my serious yet foolish husband completed the handover, the person sent to inspect announced that the intelligence files managed by my husband were suspected to have been tampered with on a large scale, and then he was taken away directly on charges of espionage and interrogated in your Secret Investigation Bureau for a full seven months! "

"..."

"Interesting, right?"

Looking at the silent policewoman, the female prisoner sneered and said:

"If I take over the files without checking them carefully, I will inevitably be set up by the previous person. But as long as I check and check them carefully, I will inevitably be suspected of espionage. So from the moment I accepted the transfer, no matter what choice my husband made, the final result would be the same."

What’s even more interesting is that the person in charge of investigating my husband in the Secret Investigation Bureau is his former boss! Because he repeatedly blocked him from reporting normally, my husband’s boss was suspended and transferred, and the place where he was transferred happened to be the Secret Investigation Bureau responsible for investigating my husband. Haha, don’t you think this is a coincidence?"

The female prisoner chuckled but continued without a smile on her face:

"Fortunately, my husband was not only strong, but also had a strong life. After being imprisoned for seven months, he managed to get out alive without confessing his guilt, except for losing 40 kilograms and having a limp in one leg 'accidentally'.

Unfortunately, the military has too many things to do, and it is impossible to wait for a crippled man who is suspected of being a spy. His original position has long been taken by someone else, and not only is there no department willing to "take him in", but my daughter and I have also been kicked out of the assigned residence."

“Haha, during the Patriotic War, the price of goods in the capital rose by as much as fifty times. When he came out, our family’s savings were almost completely spent, and all our property added up to only a few silver wheels.

In order to keep my daughter and I alive, and for the so-called just patriotic war, he chose to take a settlement fee and enlist in the army. Then, because he ran slowly due to his lame leg, he was shot in the other leg.

The policewoman bit her lip and said with a pale face:

"Then your husband..."

"He's dead. He went from being a stupid cripple to a dead cripple!"

After describing her husband's fate with a cold expression, the female prisoner raised her lips slightly and said in a playful and gentle voice:
"By the way, there are more interesting things here, do you want to hear them?"

"I……"

"If you don't object, then I'll take it as what you want to hear."

The female prisoner smiled and rolled up her sleeves a little, revealing an old bandage with heavy blood stains tied around her wrist. In the crude stitches on the edge of the bandage, a tuft of coarse cotton clotted with dark brown blood was stubbornly sticking its head out.

"When he was carried back home, his leg was wrapped in this bandage, and underneath the bandage was a piece of rotten flesh oozing ginger pus and full of fat white maggots!"

After turning her wrist slightly, the female prisoner looked at the relic of her late husband on her wrist and smiled calmly:
"My crippled husband was lucky. He was not killed on the battlefield and managed to crawl back to his position. Unfortunately, he eventually died from the infection of his wound.

And what killed him in the end was exactly what he had tried so hard to report to his superiors. It was a low-quality bandage made of dirty black cotton. Isn't that funny?"
