"Chief, you've finally returned!"
As Aiden was about to head to his office upon returning to the prison, Veronica, who was standing at the office door, approached him.
"What happened, what's going on?" Aiden read a touch of anxiety on her face, suggesting that something seemed to have gone awry in the prison.
"An inmate who'd just arrived a few days ago suddenly died," Veronica reported succinctly, "He's now over at the medical wing. You should take a look!"
Aiden's expression immediately turned grave.
