Excessive ferocity due to caution

The management quickly took away the seventy-five corpses of the Black Tiger Gang members to prepare for finding cherries for verification.

He had a headache.

If it weren't for the Black Tiger Gang members who died, things definitely wouldn't be in this mess now.

The Black Tiger Gang is made up of strong, burly men, making them arguably the best workforce in the entire prison. The warden wants to transform many undeveloped areas of the Sand Sea Prison into his own backyard, and the Black Tiger Gang members are his biggest asset!

That's why they were able to obtain so many privileges outside the rules while in prison.

All of this was because of the warden's tacit approval.

But now, with nearly half of these cheap and high-quality laborers dead, it's impossible for the warden not to be furious. The most crucial thing right now is to quickly find a target for the warden to vent his anger on!

Otherwise, he might be the one who suffers!

The prisoners were sent to their workplaces, and on the way, the people in Warehouse 8 were in high spirits.

This was the first time they had seized an opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to the Black Tiger Gang!

Who told these bastards to bully them every day?

I finally got my revenge!

Cool!

...

The morgue.

Cherry carefully examined the bodies of the seventy-five Black Tiger Gang members with the equipment, her tone carrying a subtle hint of praise:

"There are no fingerprints."

"These people's wounds were inflicted by sharp, pointed objects."

"It should be a controlled knife."

The warehouse manager standing next to him raised an eyebrow.

"Interestingly, I had already searched every corner of these people beforehand, and also sent people to thoroughly search Warehouse No. 8, but there were no hidden weapons."

Cherry, wearing rubber gloves, gently pried open the corpse in front of her, examining its wounds.

A glint of light flashed deep in his eyes.

"It's an ice skate..."

Cherry had a guess in her mind, but she didn't say it.

But the administrator nearby couldn't resist and leaned forward, whispering in Cherry's ear:

"Dr. Che..."

"So, do you have any way to help me commit perjury?"

Cherry seemed to have gotten used to it; the wrinkles on his face not only showed his age but also made him seem worldly and sophisticated.

"What kind of perjury should be committed?"

The manager said:

"A new inmate named Zhao Yi recently joined the prison..."

Cherry's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Why him?"

The administrator coughed twice, took out some gold coins from his pocket, and handed them to Cherry.

"He's had some issues with the Black Tiger Gang lately. I've received some favors from them, and coincidentally, they've caused some trouble this time. The warden is having a hard time explaining things to me, so I'm looking for a scapegoat. That way, the warden can vent his anger, and the Black Tiger Gang can also get rid of this headache..."

The light from the incandescent bulb shone on his face, casting a deathly pale glow.

Cherry looked at the gold beans in his hand but didn't reach out to take them.

"I won't do false testimony for you."

The warehouse manager was stunned, then gritted his teeth and took out a few more gold beans from his pocket and handed them over, but the cherries still did not take them.

He said:

"It's not about the money."

"That Zhao Yi... I need him."

The warehouse manager was a bit bewildered this time.

"He's a newcomer, what use are you to him?"

Cherry looked up at him, her tone enigmatic:

"You don't need to worry about that."

"I'll take care of things with the warden, but in exchange..."

He gave a grotesque smile as he spoke:

"When you report the bodies, remember to omit one."

The administrator hesitated slightly, but quickly gritted his teeth and agreed.

If the Black Tiger Gang can't make money off of their gold coins, so be it.

The most important thing is to keep your position!

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

As long as I retain this position, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future!

"Oh, right... have someone call Zhao Yi to the medical tower later."

The administrator agreed and left.

Cherry took out a saw, cut a corpse into several pieces, packed them into a box, and dragged the box away...

...

Zhao Yi, who was working, was told by the guard that Cherry wanted to see him, and immediately went to the medical tower.

Although Cherry was imprisoned in the Sand Cage by the gentry of Z City, he still had considerable authority here.

After all, his merits speak for themselves; he is still a great contributor to Z City.

As long as the military in Z City doesn't send any news, no one will dare to touch him in this cage.

Pushing open the tower door, Zhao Yi was led by a robot to a special laboratory, which contained a lot of messy research data and unfinished research products.

The cherry, wearing special eye protection, is being laser-cut into something...

Hearing the knock on the door, Cherry took off her blindfold and looked at Zhao Yidao:

"Just find somewhere to sit."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly, sat down at the corner of a table, and lit a cigarette.

"It seems you've made your choice."

Cherry's breathing was slightly rapid. His sharp, hawk-like eyes stared at Zhao Yi for a long time, his voice trembling slightly:

"Without the restraint of the collar... how strong are you?"

Zhao Yi had a smile on his face:

"I can beat everyone in this prison to death."

"Even if all the prisoners with their collars removed attacked together... they wouldn't be a match for me."

Cherries clenched their fists:

"You're that confident?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"How dare you go against the big shots in Z City if you don't have some skills?"

"The key...when can you get it out?"

The cherries remained silent for a long time:

"It will take time."

"At least two to three days."

"I can't directly ask them for the materials to make the key... or I'll be targeted."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the human head wearing a collar on the experimental table.

"The collar and the key are made of the exact same materials and in the same weight. I need to figure out a way to melt the collar off the neck of the head first, and then make the key."

"You'd better keep a low profile these next few days and avoid causing trouble in prison to prevent any unforeseen problems or accidents..."

Zhao Yi exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled:

"The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease."

All I can say is that I'll do my best.

Cherry gave Zhao Yi a deep look, then put her blindfold back on and said to him:

"I'll let you know when the key is ready."

"Also... watch out for the warden."
