Peter Humphrey: Is Steven Schwimmer Overfed

Will prison escapes lead to extended sentences?

This didn't even need asking.

Although he was saying he didn't know on the surface.

But in fact, Xu Mo knew very clearly.

Thanks to him today, every prisoner who participated in the prison break.

Not a single one could get away, each would have their sentence extended.

It was even possible the detention center could not hold them anymore.

They would have to be sent to prison...

After all, escaping from prison was no small matter.

Pulling people down in something like this was indeed not very ethical.

But as long as Xu Mo had no ethics, no one could ethically hijack him!

...

Xu Mo's gesture of touching his nose before answering.

Was seen very clearly by Zhou Qiaoqiao.

From a psychological perspective.

Touching one's nose and eyes wandering around were all signs of lying.

This showed that Xu Mo knew what kind of consequences the prisoners would face for escaping from prison.

He just didn't want to say it.

Although Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't know the relevant regulations very clearly.

But she could probably guess that escaping from prison was an extremely serious matter.

Extending their sentences was unavoidable.

Considering that she was also Xu Mo's accomplice.

Zhou Qiaoqiao also started pretending to be stupid.

Don't ask. If asked, she would say she didn't know, she would say she was unaware!

Moreover, these people detained in the detention center were all lawbreakers.

Letting them undergo more correctional education for a period of time.

Could also be considered doing something beneficial for society!

...

The investigation team rushed over as fast as they could, and finally arrived at the detention center.

But as soon as they got here, they were dumbfounded.

They saw detainees in prison uniforms and policemen in police uniforms outside the detention center.

The detainees were running and the policemen were chasing...

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Seeing the scene before them.

At this moment, all four people instinctively felt that something was not quite right.

Of course, what made them feel uneasy was not about all these detainees escaping.

All the detainees escaping was nothing to worry about.

After all, this was a detention center, not a prison.

The people locked up here were not considered vicious criminals.

Moreover, these were people who had been caught by the police once before.

Even if they all escaped, recapturing them once wouldn't take too long.

At most, it would just require a lot of police force.

What really made the members of the investigation team apprehensive.

Was that Xu Mo had most likely already rescued the girl from the detention center!

Without thinking too much, Han Fei immediately opened the car door and rushed out.

At this moment, a policeman just happened to walk past the investigation team's car, escorting a detainee he had just caught.

Han Fei immediately went up and asked.

"What's going on here?"

The policeman smiled bitterly: "The detainees suddenly organized a collective prison break. I just caught someone and was about to lock him back in. After finishing up I still have to go catch more people. It's going to be a busy day today..."

"A collective prison break?", Han Fei continued asking: "What about the girl arranged by the TV station to be detained here? Did she escape too?"

"Everyone has escaped. There is not a single detainee left in the detention center.", the policeman replied.

Although Han Fei already had the answer in his mind earlier.

But when he heard this answer with his own ears.

He still found it somewhat hard to accept.

Xu Mo actually rescued the girl out.

Not only did he rescue her, he also let all the other detainees in the detention center escape.

Stunned for a few seconds, Han Fei shouted in distress.

"He's crazy! I understand rescuing people but letting all the detainees out, what was Xu Mo thinking!? Is he overconfident from eating too much!?"

The policeman and Han Fei's expressions were not great.

But this recaptured detainee had a full smile on his face.

He rubbed his hands eagerly and looked at the policeman full of expectation: "Erm...How was my performance, was it good enough? Can I get a reduced sentence?"

Han Fei: "???"

Policeman: "???"

Wanting a reduced sentence even after escaping from prison?

What the hell are you thinking!

"What reduced sentence are you talking about?", Han Fei suddenly asked.

"Just...a reduced sentence.", the detainee looked at Han Fei innocently: "Didn't you guys say that those who performed well and ran quickly in this prison break exercise could get reduced sentences?"

Before Han Fei could even speak.

The policeman next to him directly refuted his words.

"What exercise, who told you escaping from prison could lead to reduced sentences?"

Hearing the policeman's tone, the detainee also became anxious.

He explained hurriedly with gestures:

"It was what you guys said! There was a policeman wearing a uniform who opened all the cell doors. He told us this was an exercise and also said those with good performances during this exercise could get reduced sentences. That wasn't...Don't tell me you guys want to go back on your word?"

Hearing the detainee's words.

Han Fei now had a fairly good idea of what had happened.

It was most likely Xu Mo dressing up as a policeman, infiltrating the detention center.

He got a hold of the cell keys.

Then opened all the cell doors and used the excuse of a practice drill.

Turning the detainees into pawns to create this prison break.

Finally, amidst the chaos of the mass escape, Xu Mo slipped out of the detention center unnoticed.

After deducing all this, Han Fei's eyebrow twitched violently.

What kind of person was this!

To use such despicable means so readily!

Han Fei looked at the policeman: "It was Xu Mo pretending to be a policeman that said this to them."

After hearing this, the policeman was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the detainee.

"You heard that right, someone was impersonating a policeman. This has nothing to do with us. We never said anything like that to you."

The detainee was puzzled. His tone was rather anxious.

"Comrade police, how could this be possible? How could someone impersonate a policeman inside the detention center? You guys aren't trying to deny your promise right? You said there would be reduced sentences, how can you go back on that now? Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I was hoping the reduced sentence could allow me to go home for New Year..."

The policeman smiled bitterly.

He also found it unbelievable that someone would dare impersonate a policeman inside the detention center.

But coincidentally, Xu Mo really dared to do something this audacious!

"If this was really promised by us, we would definitely not go back on our word. But the problem is, we never said anything like this...The situation is quite complicated. We'll have to see what the superiors think regarding how to handle this."

"But I have to warn you, don't be too optimistic. After all a collective prison break is no trivial matter. It's very likely all your sentences will be extended. Forget about spending this New Year outside, even next year's New Year you will be hard pressed to get out."

After speaking, the policeman looked towards Han Fei.

"Captain Han, I won't chat with you anymore for now. I have to get this detainee locked back up. There are still a bunch of escaped detainees outside that need catching. We are pressed for time."

Han Fei didn't say anything. Instead he patted the policeman's shoulder.

He now understood this whole incident clearly. Asking further would only be taking up this man's time.

At this moment, the smile on that detainee's face had completely vanished.

He had joined the escape for the sole purpose of getting a reduced sentence.

Yet now, not only was there no sentence reduction, his sentence might even be extended!

He didn't have much of his original sentence left to serve.

Just 10 more days and he would be able to get out.

He was hoping to reduce his sentence to make it back home for New Year.

Yet now things had taken a turn for the worse.

He wouldn't make it home for New Year!

That still wasn't the worst part.

The worst part was what the policeman said: he would be hard pressed to get out even by next year's New Year.

Did this mean he still had to stay for another year!?

"This is retribution...This is retribution!"

Unable to accept such a crushing blow.

This detainee's eyeballs rolled back and he fainted...

Seeing this, Han Fei frowned and sighed.

"Xu Mo ah, look at the fine mess you've caused. Look at how you've made people suffer! Doing something like this, does your conscience really not ache?"
