A year ago, he was in court, standing in the dock waiting for the verdict, and he was not nervous at all.He was telling himself in his heart: How many years of sentence is meaningless to me, anyway, if I want to escape from prison, what is the difference between three years and thirty years? He even looked at the high-ranking judge with a mocking expression, imitating the movement of the judge's lips, and exaggerated it. The judge loudly pronounced the sentence: the defendant's crime is serious, so he was sentenced to 28 years in prison At that time, he applauded vigorously and vigorously, which made the whole court startled. The judge also stopped talking and stared at him. No matter how experienced a judge is, he would not know what to do in this situation. Cuo: He cannot be prosecuted for contempt of court. He just applauded and praised the judge's verdict. What's wrong?Moreover, his applause was so serious!

The judge had no choice but to continue reading the judgment, and he continued to applaud until the judge finished speaking, and he was escorted away by the court police. After a push, he stopped applauding because he felt the pain and knew the truth that a good man never suffers from immediate losses.He was laughing in his heart: twenty-eight years!Not even for twenty-eight days, the prison can't hold me, I will go to freedom! On the third day after entering the prison, he had figured out the environment of the prison and had at least three escape plans. He spends a day working on one option and finds that none of the three options are feasible.The first one: excavating from the prison cell, that was just kidding myself, and it was not the era of "The Encounter of Monte Cristo", how could it be so dramatic, it was all cement walls, digging tunnels, haha!

He actually laughed, because in prison, thinking up a ridiculous escape plan and then denying it is a supreme pleasure, which is definitely not enjoyed by people outside the prison walls of! The second plan was rejected the next day, and that plan was better than the first one: weaving a rope ladder in secret, and then slipping to the foot of the high fence, it was easy, but the fence was six meters high, and at least a six-meter-long rope ladder had to be weaved , where can I find so many ropes?Moreover, even if there is such a rope ladder, how can the rope ladder be hung up? When he thought of this, he laughed again. He felt that he had created the best joke: climb up the wall, hang the rope ladder, then come down, follow the rope ladder, and climb out of the wall!

The third plan is a big improvement over the previous two: attack a prison guard, knock him unconscious, then put on his clothes, pretend to be him, and walk out grandly The plan is to think out even the details. To pretend to be a person, or not to be recognized by others, of course, the first condition is that the person has quite special characteristics, so that people will intuitively think it is him when they see it, and will not be suspicious.Therefore, he immediately identified one of the many prison guards with a thick mustache.As long as he grows the same moustache as him and puts on a uniform, even in front of his girlfriend, he can get by!

However, prisoners serving sentences are not allowed to grow beards, which is a major difficulty.However, this difficulty can be overcome. If you shave the prison guard's beard and stick it on your own beard, it will be perfect. Sticky beard, as long as there is glue, get some glue, it couldn't be easier! He didn't implement this plan, not because the plan itself was not good, but it was a bit like man's planning and God's decision, and he had no choice but to let it go. Just as he wanted to put this plan into practice, he almost When he felt the fragrance of the free air outside the high wall, the prison guard shaved off his mustache without any sign beforehand.

That made him stare at the prison guard with extremely angry eyes for three minutes, and the prison guard was terrified. He didn't know what happened. This made him happy for a long time, and he laughed happily: the prison guard is also afraid of prisoners. It's a big discovery, maybe that guy has done a lot of bad things?He thought, when he was staring at him, he felt guilty and didn't know what happened, so he was at a loss! It was such a great pleasure, even if the prison guard never dreamed that it was because of him that he suddenly shaved his mustache! Since none of the three plans can be implemented, it is natural to consider the fourth and fifth ones. He remembered reading a book that mentioned at least two thousand ways to escape from prison!

Two thousand kinds, what is that, he waved his hand vigorously, that's what a stupid prisoner would say!A prisoner who has no determination to escape from the prison said, so worthless, two thousand ways to escape from prison?Hmph, there are at least six thousand, seven thousand, or even eight thousand!Any one, as long as the environment is suitable and the time is right, can be put into practice, can be successful, and can leave prison and go to freedom. In the days that followed, the plans he came up with were more elaborate and more feasible than the last, but before each plan was put into practice, when he thought about it over and over again, he found a little problem, so he had to change it. There are thousands of ways to escape from jail, so what does it matter if you give up some? Of course, you have to find a perfect plan to implement. He even laughed happily every time he gave up a plan, celebrating his smartness and not rashly Unreliable schemes are put into practice.

It takes a day or two to conceive a plan, a day or two to consider carefully, and a day or two to decide to give up. He forgot to count the number of days in twenty-eight years, otherwise, he would know with certainty that when the number one plan was conceived, he would definitely be able to leave the prison and go to freedom!
