Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight entered the small confinement unit from a small window.
A series of hurried, brisk footsteps could be heard through depths of the corridor from the confinement unit.
"Hey? What's going on?"
Zhao Huzi looked at the iron gate that was as smooth as a mirror the last time he saw it and wondered how it became so uneven overnight. There were marks of punches and kicks everywhere, some being almost half a foot thick.
The monitoring personnel that had followed closely behind Zhao Huzi smiled bitterly amongst themselves. They had no idea how to explain it. They simply took the room card and placed it on the electronic lock.
Beep beep...
In the past, with the buzzing sound of the electronic lock would open automatically with a thudding sound.
Today, after the buzzing sound, the electronic lock still did not move.
"Hey?"
"This is?"
"It's broken?"
"It couldn't be?"
