Experienced prison guards can tell from some peculiar expressions and behaviors that some prisoners will have accidents. Although prison life is different from free life, it is also one of the forms of human life. In many places, those laws cannot be escaped.Therefore, the veteran prison guard warned him to be careful two days ago, he would cause trouble. He was not a prisoner who behaved himself (is there a prisoner who behaved himself?), and in the past two days, his behavior was a bit strange, so the warning was quickly spread among the prison guards, and he was paid special attention to.

The first time the old prison guard noticed that he had a tendency to move was during that meeting. He clasped the iron branch in front of him with both hands, his knuckles protruded and turned white, his face was ashen, and he stared at the young man who was separated from him by the iron branch: Why doesn't she come? The young man muttered, obviously looking for an excuse, but he couldn't find it. He yelled like an explosion: Next time you visit, tell her to come! He yelled too loudly, and the old prison guard who walked behind him gently pushed his shoulder with his hand. This was originally the gentlest way of warning, but he jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and stared at him. Looking at the old prison guard; even though he had seen so many fierce eyes in the past twenty years, the old prison guard was also taken aback: Don't yell!

He immediately turned around and stared at the young man: Go tell her, if you don't come next time, I will go find her! The young man was taken aback: this His voice was even angrier: She didn't wait for me, changed? The young man lowered his head, his voice was too low to be heard: I don't know, I'm busy with schoolwork He began to shake the iron branch vigorously, and the old prison guard went over again, stretched out his hand to hold down his shield, and said calmly: If you are not quiet, I will call another prison guard! He turned around and rushed out of the meeting room. The visiting young man was still standing still: the old prison guard waved to him, indicating that he could leave, he would not come out again.

The young man stood up, and the old prison guard murmured: I hope she will come at the next visit time! The young man didn't know if he heard it, and his expression was bitter. Visit, once every three days. The old prison guard knew that something was going to happen, and asked everyone to pay attention to him, lest he make any changes. When the old prison guard mentioned this to his colleagues, the colleagues expressed concern for him: You are retiring soon! The old prison guard took off his hat and stroked his gray hair: next month, twenty-five years, the voice of serving in prison is so dull that it makes people feel sad, it doesn't sound like he has served in prison for twenty-five years , but spent twenty-five years in captivity.

what is the difference? What's the difference even if it's been 25 years giving orders in a large and luxurious office? Everyone complimented him again, and the old prison guard put on his hat, tidied himself up, straightened up, and walked out. When it was time for the next visit, he seemed extremely uneasy from the very beginning of the morning. In the morning, whenever the prison guard called the prisoner's number to indicate that someone was coming to visit, he became anxious. No one came to visit him in the morning. At noon, he didn't eat. He stared blankly at a plate of rice for a long time. Then, he suddenly yelled and threw the whole plate of rice on the ground. Several prison guards walked towards him. The muscles on Shuo's body couldn't stop beating. The two prison guards had already held batons in their hands. The old prison guard was far away. He couldn't catch up for a while, so he had to shout: "Apologize quickly, or you will be disqualified from being visited!"

He shook his head and lowered his head: I'm sorry, I will clean up! The two prison guards were also happy to save trouble, and one of them cursed: If you want to lose your temper, go be a young master! Without saying a word, he poured the spilled rice and vegetables into the basin with his hands. Since he lowered his head, no one noticed his gritted teeth and twitching face.The hatred in his heart could not be concealed. His young wife refused to come to see him. There was no other reason. Naturally, her heart and her body were given to another man. He couldn't imagine her being in another man. The coquettish coquettish attitude in the arms of the man in his arms will make him explode, but he can't think about it.

He straightened up slowly, with no joint in his body stiff, carrying a plate, and slowly walked out of the dining hall door, just as a police officer walked in, he jumped forward, with one hand pushing the police officer down, and the other hand grabbed the pistol. In his hand, he drank loudly, so that everyone was not allowed to move. He wants to fulfill his promise: if she doesn't come, he will go to see her! No one moved, staring at him, only the old prison guard strode towards him. His voice was terrifying: Stop, I will shoot, I will kill! No one doubted this. He was sent to prison for killing people in the first place.But the old prison guard kept going.

The police officer shouted, calling the number of the old prison guard: You will retire next month, don't be a hero! Everyone was sweating. The old prison guard came to him and stretched out his hand. Something unexpected happened. He trembled violently and handed the gun into the old prison guard's hand. Two prison guards rushed over to arrest him, and the police officer shouted: How brave! The old prison guard turned around with an extremely tired expression: No matter how fierce he is, he will not kill his father!
