Upon hearing that Hao Ziqiang wanted to record the video, Wang Lide couldn't help but feel excited. Evidence is crucial, especially in prison, and surveillance video is direct proof. The laws in this era provide strong protection for prisoners to ensure their safety. The Human Alliance Prison Committee mandates a 24/7 monitoring of all prison surveillance systems without any blind spots, and video information must be simultaneously transmitted to the supercomputers of each department of the Prison Committee. Delayed transmission or lack thereof is strictly prohibited. If something happens to a prisoner and it is not captured on surveillance, the prison bears full responsibility unconditionally.
Due to these stringent requirements, it is almost impossible for Yang Chi to incite the prison guards to act if trouble arises with prisoners. He would likely receive a call from the Prison Commission before any fight could finish. Seeing Yang Chi's silent demeanor, Hao Ziqiang deliberately displayed a shocked expression. "Oh my, Warden Yang, you're not going to tell me that there's no surveillance in Room 0, are you?" Hao Ziqiang understood that if there was truly no surveillance in Room 0, according to the prison committee's regulations, the prisoner's word would serve as the only testimony, leaving the prison in a more vulnerable position. This is why the first step many prisons take during expansion is to install surveillance cameras. If intentional prisoners discover a lack of cameras, they could spread rumors freely, which would be quite troublesome.
Observing Hao Ziqiang's arrogant demeanor, Yang Chi couldn't help but smile strangely at the thought that Hao was confident in his assumptions. Unfortunately for him, Yang Chi was already prepared.
Ignoring Hao Ziqiang, Yang Chi told Yan Cui, "It's easy to obtain surveillance, but I suggest that Team Leader Yan get the video directly from the prison committee to avoid accusations of fabrication." Yan Cui nodded at Yang Chi's suggestion and made a call. As the leader of the investigation team, Yan Cui had the authority to obtain video footage from Iron Castle Prison directly from the Prison Committee.
Soon, at Yan's request, a high-definition video was sent to his tablet. As he clicked on the video, it displayed the first time Yang Chi imprisoned Chen Erlong and Liu San. The tablet's screen was projected onto the big screen in the conference room, and soon Chen Erlong and others appeared on the surveillance footage.
On July 18, at 6:00 pm sharp, four prisoners, including Chen Erlong and Liu San, entered the dark room. Although the room appeared dark, the night vision camera revealed the faces of Chen Erlong and the others clearly. By 6:03 pm, three minutes after the door to room 0 had closed, nothing unusual could be observed among the four individuals in the room. Some paced back and forth, while others sat cross-legged. By 8:00 pm, several prisoners seemed to have acclimated to their surroundings, as some sat on the ground and leaned against the wall, seemingly falling asleep.
It was a very normal video, with nothing unusual at all. If Yang Chi had really injected some hallucinogenic gas into the room, the situation of the four people would never have been so peaceful. The events unfolded quickly, and until the end, there was no indication of prisoner abuse from the surveillance footage. In fact, people even thought that the environment of the small dark room was too good.
Typically, small dark rooms are used to punish prisoners. Many of these rooms in prisons are only one or two square meters in size, and with the space taken up by the toilet, it is impossible for a person to even sit properly. After visiting so many prisons, people had never seen a prison as spacious as the small dark room of Iron Fort Prison.
Seeing such a calm scene made Hao Ziqiang's blood pressure soar as he stared at the calm Yang Chi. Hao Ziqiang understood that Yang Chi was definitely hiding something, but he had no evidence. This time, Hao Ziqiang was not naïve enough to question the video's authenticity because it was directly sent from the Prison Committee, making it impossible to fake.
As the door to room 0 was opened again under surveillance, seven days had passed. After watching the four prisoners stagger out of the prison, Hao Ziqiang closed his eyes in despair. It was over; the only possible evidence for a comeback was gone. There was no problem with the surveillance, and Zhou Hu had also betrayed him. Everything he had painstakingly arranged in Iron Castle Prison had become a joke.
As the surveillance video finished, Yan Gui looked at Hao Ziqiang again, "Mr. Hao, do you need to watch other videos?" "No need," Hao Ziqiang replied, his face twitching. "Very good, does that mean that the evidence you mentioned before is false?" Yan Gui looked at Hao Ziqiang with a half-smile. To be honest, Hao Ziqiang wanted to say no, but seeing Yan Jui's extremely cold eyes, he finally lowered his head unwillingly. "Yes," he conceded.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's settle the accounts after we get them out." Seeing that Hao Ziqiang endured it, Yan Gui was also a little surprised. But he understood that Hao Ziqiang couldn't remain defiant for long, and Yan Jui didn't bother to speak with him further. Turning his head to Yang Chi, Yan Jui said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, Xiaochi, I'm really troubling you this time."
"It's okay, it's no trouble. This is what we should do. If necessary, you are welcome to investigate at any time." Smiling and shaking his head, Yang Chi glanced at Hao Ziqiang behind Yan Gui as he spoke. At this moment, Hao Ziqiang looked like a defeated rooster, without the arrogance he had just now. Seeing this scene, Yang Chi was quite pleased.
It is conceivable that Yan Jui will definitely cause trouble for Hao Ziqiang after this incident. It is not fun to be noticed by the top management of the Human League Supervision Department. Even the Sloka Group may be implicated. Of course, Hao Ziqiang would never have thought that although the four individuals under surveillance appeared like ordinary people, in reality, their souls had long been pulled into the world of Dead by Daylight. Their actions in the small dark room were merely the instinctive expressions of their bodies.
