Chapter 1 One Death and One Injury
The Hague, Netherlands, is blue and clear, and the breeze is blowing. The originally empty road outside the hazel walls of the Peace Palace was full of live interview cars from famous media in the world. At the corner of the road, a female reporter wearing formal clothes, dressed in a dignified and beautiful appearance was facing the solemn Palace of Peace, holding a microphone with a CCTV-marked microphone, and making a live report on the shoulder-mounted camera: "...This is also the third time since the establishment of the International Court of Justice, the Statute of the International Court of Justice has been revised. 15 minutes later, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council will jointly sign the New Testament and abolish the death penalty..."
Two years later, Full Day Reef.
Quanri Reef is located 120 nautical miles west of the Zhongsha Islands, about 5 kilometers long and about 2 kilometers wide. It is a dry reef affiliated to Sansha City, Hainan Province. Because the reef is rich in sand and abundant in sunshine, from a distance, the clear yellow gravel shines like gold under the bright sunlight, so it is called the Golden Island by coastal fishermen who have been fishing in the past. The seas around the Golden Island are mostly shallows and are densely covered with reefs. Few fishing boats with more than 20 tons are close to fishing; and at high tides, the winds are high and the waves are thick, and undercurrents are surging, and small-tonnage fishing boats can only be deterred. Therefore, in recent years, fishermen have rarely seen cast nets in the waters near the Golden Island. Perhaps no one knows that since a year ago, several sturdy buildings have been erected on the island.
This building with moderate scale, towering walls are densely covered with power grids, and rows of reinforced concrete houses in the wall are prisons. After signing the new Statute of the International Court of Justice two years ago and officially banning the death penalty in the criminal law, the Chinese government began to build a number of special prison cells specifically for the detention of serious criminals in various places. The cell named "Golden Prison" by the government on the All-Day Reef of the Zhongsha Islands is the only pilot base among the first batch of special prison cells.
The people in it were extremely serious criminals who survived by not being executed in recent years and were lucky enough to survive. It is said that at the meeting to discuss the establishment of a pilot prison, an official from the National Security Bureau described the Golden Prison in this way: the prisoners must have strong "quality" - those with only two or three lives under their command are not qualified to enter the prison; the prison guards must have strong qualities - in addition to being able to deal with the outlaws in the cell, they also have the courage to fight against the Vietnamese soldiers wandering around the sea!
The Golden Prison is completely isolated from the outside world. The prisoners have no visits to the prison, and the prison guards cannot leave the island. The supply is airdropped by planes and contacts are via wireless telegrams.
At this time, in the office building in the southwest corner of the prison, Qiu Changqing, the warden and party secretary, was sitting in the office with a pale complexion, looking at an accident report in front of him. A middle-aged man in his 40s and thin body stood straight in front of him.
With a "bang", Qiu Changqing slapped the accident report in his hand heavily on the dark brown desk. The muscles on his face were shaking due to extreme anger. "The prison has been in use for less than a year, and someone has escaped! One of them was actually ran away! Pan Jiuming! What does your prison brigade do for food??" Qiu Changqing pointed at the middle-aged man named Pan Jiuming and cursed sternly.
"Secretary Qiu, the old city in Lin could not escape. He was shot and fell down a 40-meter cliff. There were shoals and reefs below. Eight out of ten or nine died on the spot. Even if he was lucky enough to die, there was no land or island in this radius of hundreds of miles, and he could not survive at all." Pan Jiuming said without squinting. Pan Jiuming is the captain of the Golden Prison Prison Brigade and the second in command of the prison. All the prison areas on the island No. 1, 2 and 3 are under his jurisdiction. Five hours ago, a Golden Prison, which had only been in use for 11 months, happened in the Golden Prison. A few hours ago, a 11-month-old Golden Prison happened.
An incredible prison escape incident: At 12 noon, when the Hainan Military Region helicopter dropped supplies, two prisoners actually sneaked out of the cell, attacked the guards at the gate of the prison, and fled outside the prison wall. Fortunately, the guards who reacted in time were of high quality. They hit two people with an AK74 rifle equipped with infrared scopes. One prisoner was shot in the right leg and was unable to get off the ground on the spot. The other was shot in the left shoulder and staggered to the edge of the cliff one kilometer away from the southern wall of the prison, and fell head-on.
"I have to see people alive, and I have to see corpses when I die!" Qiu Changqing knocked on the table with his fingers and shouted angrily, "It's been 5 hours, where's the corpse?"
"Secretary Qiu, we swept the sea for a long time and didn't notice it. It should have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Besides," Pan Jiuming said, "Besides, our island facilities are so simple, there is not even a speedboat, so we can't look for it on the sea..."
"Absurd!" Qiu Changqing interrupted Pan Jiuming with a glaring eyes and cursed, "You are a pig's brain? The Golden Prison is isolated from the outside. Any prisoner in the cell is a special-class criminal. He is either a perverted serial murderer or a member of the killer organization. If he escapes from the island, even the central government will be alarmed! Do you still want to be equipped with a speedboat on the island? I think you are the suspect and don't run fast enough!"
Seeing Pan Jiuming taking off his police cap and scratching his head awkwardly, Qiu Changqing walked out of the desk, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Jiuming, I know, there are only 11 people in your brigade. It is very hard to take care of three prison areas, one of which is about 40, and it is hard to retaliate offenders, but you have to know that our Golden Prison is a national pilot prison, so you must not make mistakes!"
"Secretary Qiu, I understand!" Pan Jiuming raised his chest and looked up at Qiu Changqing and said, "Our brigade will hold an accident analysis meeting today to find out the hidden dangers and disadvantages in prison management!"
"Well, too," Qiu Changqing nodded, stared at him with his hands behind his back and said, "You'd better discipline me and teach your subordinates well, and don't run to Zone 3 all day long. They are female prisoners, not ladies for them to have fun! If something happens, we'll finish it!"
