Chapter 34 Hidden Eyeliner
Hao Ziqiang's words shocked everyone in the room. Yang Chi glanced at Zhou Hu, who wasn't far away, and saw that Zhou Hu's eyes were also widened. Clearly, Zhou Hu didn't know about this either. However, Yang Chi wasn't too worried. With the help of the system, he wasn't afraid of the secret of Room 0 being exposed. Even if Hao Ziqiang had more informants, he couldn't be punished without evidence. Yan Gui was also a little surprised. It was clear that Hao Ziqiang had taken it upon himself to do this, effectively admitting to using illegal surveillance methods on Iron Castle Prison. Thinking of this, Yan Gui solemnly warned, "Mr. Hao, I hope you understand what you just said. What you are doing is illegal."
"It doesn't matter. I admit it's illegal, but what we need to find out now is the mistreatment of prisoners in Iron Castle Prison. I, Hao Ziqiang, will risk my life to expose Iron Castle Prison's illegal activities!" Hao Ziqiang declared self-righteously, but these words disgusted Yan Gui. A self-interested villain talking about something illegal in such a righteous manner was the most disgusting behavior to Yan Gui.
"Mr. Hao, you have lied to me once. Are you expecting me to believe you this time?" Yan Gui said coldly. This time, however, Hao Ziqiang wasn't afraid of Yan Gui's strict regulations. He had already risked his life, so there was nothing more to fear. So when faced with Yan Gui's questioning, Hao Ziqiang sneered. "What? Is it so difficult for Team Leader Yan to protect the son of an old friend? Or has Team Leader Yan had interests in Iron Castle Prison for a long time?"
"What did you say?" Yan Gui was furious upon hearing Hao Ziqiang's unrestrained words. Slapping his hand on the table, Yan Gui stood up and stared intensely into Hao Ziqiang's eyes. The authority of a superior made Hao Ziqiang a little timid, but when he thought of the temptation of becoming the regional CEO of Xuandao City, he stood his ground and said, "Team Leader Yan, I didn't mean to insult you. I just want to expose the crimes of Iron Castle Prison. If Yang Chi hasn't done anything illegal, I, Hao Ziqiang, am willing to be punished!"
After that, Hao Ziqiang looked at Yang Chi and gritted his teeth. "How about it? Does Warden Yang dare to let me call someone over?" Just when Hao Ziqiang thought Yang Chi would find reasons to evade, he didn't expect Yang Chi to remain calm and composed. Nodding, Yang Chi replied, "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Since Mr. Hao has said so, I, Yang Chi, will naturally accompany you."
"Very well, call prisoner No. 1034 from your prison. His name is Moika."
After hearing the name of the insider, Yang Chi briefly recalled it and remembered this person. Moika is a foreign prisoner serving time for theft. During the previous prison riot, Moika didn't cause trouble with other prisoners, so Yang Chi had some impression of him. Now, it seems that Moika is harboring hidden agendas. Smiling and shaking his head, Yang Chi looked at Wang Lide.
"Captain Wang, I have to trouble you to make another trip and bring this Moika over."
"Warden, this..." Wang Lide appeared anxious and tried to persuade Yang Chi to reconsider.
But Yang Chi waved his hands and said loudly, "What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything wrong. Being secretive only makes people suspicious. Call them over."
Seeing Yang Chi determined, Wang Lide could only smile bitterly and leave. After a while, a thin white man was led into the conference room. After handcuffing the white man to the conference table, Hao Ziqiang couldn't wait to speak.
"Moika, tell me what you've heard in prison about prisoner abuse."
Although Moika was a little confused about what was happening, Hao Ziqiang was his employer, and Moika complied with his orders. Soon, Moika revealed the truth of what he had seen and heard in prison. Seeing that Moika was honest, Hao Ziqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Moika did not betray him.
To be honest, Hao Ziqiang was a little surprised when he first received Zhou Hu's recording. The prisoners' testimonies were too ridiculous. Talk of a female ghost, the butcher, and resurrection was more outrageous than a movie. So, Hao Ziqiang found a way to contact Moika, another insider in Iron Castle Prison. Unlike Zhou Hu, Moika had only one task: to record the situation in Iron Castle Prison and report to Hao Ziqiang on time.
After hearing that Moika's account was similar to the recorded confession, Hao Ziqiang decided to report to Yan Gui. Now, Moika's words would become key evidence. As Moika finished speaking, Hao Ziqiang sneered.
"Warden Yang, do you have anything else to say?"
"It's ridiculous. This prisoner is yours. He will say whatever you ask him to say. If any prisoner's words can be used as evidence, then no prisons around the world would function," Yang Chi smiled disdainfully.
After listening, Yan Gui also nodded. "Well, Yang Chi is right, Mr. Hao. If you want to report prisoner abuse in Iron Fort Prison, you need more rigorous evidence."
Hearing this, Hao Ziqiang sneered. "Evidence? It's easy to say. If you call up the surveillance in Room 0, everything will be revealed!"
