If Lu Ye were to become the principal of a school, the original principal would remain unchanged, and the teachers and students would still remember him. But then Lu Ye would suddenly appear out of nowhere as the new principal, and all his paperwork and identification would be perfectly legal and legitimate... This kind of illogical thing would happen.
That's why Lu Ye said he was new.
After changing his clothes, he was given the right to walk freely in the prison.
Lu Ye's next step was naturally to go to the meeting room.
And at this time...
“Hey! New guy! There seems to be a guy shouting in the detention center, go check it out!” Muga Murat shouted.
Lu Ye cursed the old woman in his heart.
He only needed to go to the place where prisoners were held, where the prisoners had not yet been interrogated.
"Ouch...it hurts so much!"
Following the shouts, Lu Ye found the source.
Behind the iron bars, a woman with dreadlocks and brownish skin was clenching her hands and shouting.
Chapter 713 Awakening of the Substitute
"Hey! Stop yelling, you idiot!"
A middle-aged prison guard followed behind to check on the situation.
He took out his baton and pounded hard on the cold iron bars.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why is your hand bleeding?" Lu Ye asked.
"I...I got pricked by this thing!"
As she spoke, the woman opened her bleeding hand, revealing a golden pendant inside, but without a chain, just the pendant itself.
"What's that?! Hey!" The prison guard continued banging on the bars. "You should have been searched before you came in! Hand over your things!"
"Hey, this isn't mine," the woman quickly protested. "I found it in the drain vent in my room!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the spot where she had found the pendant and obediently handed it to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye noticed the gaze of the middle-aged prison guard beside him and handed the pendant to him.
"It would be better if you kept it."
"Wow, you're pretty good at this!"
The middle-aged prison guard smugly grabbed the pendant.
Just as he was examining the pendant closely and even opened his mouth to try biting it, Lu Ye spoke again.
"This pendant is made of electroplated gold."
"Electroplated gold?" The prison guard's eyes lit up. "If it's gold-plated, then it must be very valuable?"
"Gold-plated items may have value, but this is electroplated gold. Simply put, it's plastic, only the surface has been processed to give it a metallic sheen."
"what?"
“Because my wife sometimes likes to buy these little things, I know a lot about them.” Lu Ye took out a lighter he had taken from the stands. “It has an electroplated gold exterior, and it will turn black instantly once it comes into contact with fire. You can try it.”
The prison guard took the lighter with a puzzled look and tried it out.
Just as Lu Ye had said, the pendant's outer shell turned black instantly after being scorched by fire.
"Tch, what a piece of junk!" The prison guard spat and threw the thing to Lu Ye. "New guy, you can handle this."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After the prison guards had walked away, Lu Ye picked up the pendant from the ground.
“I was saying… actually, this pendant…” the woman began, “has a hidden compartment inside.”
“I know you said you were bleeding because of this thing, but there’s no blood on the outer shell, so it must have been something inside that hurt you.”
The woman paused for a moment, surprised that the new young prison guard was so perceptive.
Lu Ye opened the hidden compartment inside the pendant.
What he found inside took him by surprise.
Inside this golden pendant is a broken, sharp "stone," and... a photograph.
It was a photo of a man and a woman.
The man was none other than Jotaro Kujo, whom Lu Ye had just met.
what happened?
What exactly is this pendant...?
"Hey, what's your name?" Lu Ye asked.
“Aimee...Aimee Rosslotti.”
"You just said you found this?"
“Yes, why would I lie to you about something like this?” Ames said. “My hand was cut by that little stone inside, and I don’t even recognize the guy in that photo!”
Lu Ye fell silent.
Could it be that the pendant was sent by Jotaro Kujo to someone he was in contact with, but ended up in Ames's possession for some reason?
At this moment, Ames spoke, with a fawning smile and tone.
"Um... if you don't want that thing you're holding, could you give it to me?"
"Ok?"
“Think about it… even though it’s made of electroplated gold, it’s still an ornament. I’m in here for robbery, and I’ll most likely be put in a women’s prison,” Ames said, her voice pleading. “Prison needs money; you can’t survive without it. But I have no family left. This thing is at least a decoration; I should be able to make some money selling it to those vain people…”
Lu Ye paused for a moment, then closed the cap of the pendant.
"This thing... is most likely from someone I know."
"Tch, what? So stingy. If you don't want to give it, then don't. I'm a prisoner and you're a guard. Why would you lie to me like that?" The pitiful look on Ames's face disappeared.
“You said it yourself, I don’t need to lie to you,” Lu Ye said.
Just then, he felt a stinging sensation in his palm.
Lu Ye stopped and stretched out his palm. He saw that there was a small wound about one centimeter long in his palm, and blood was seeping out from it.
The wound was caused by a sharp little stone inside the pendant.
The pendant wasn't fully closed; a corner of a small stone got stuck outside, cutting Lu Ye's palm.
Ignoring the minor injury on his hand, Lu Ye went straight to the police station in the detention center.
"Hello, I'm a new prison guard. Could you please retrieve a record for me?"
"Records? Whose?" the prison guard on duty asked.
"His surname is 'Kujou', but we don't know his given name yet."
Lu Ye said that because of the pendant.
The pendant contains photos of two people: Jotaro and a strikingly beautiful blonde white woman.
Jotaro Kujo said he was visiting her in prison and that he specifically brought this pendant with him, which means he must have come to see that woman.
Of course, this is not the key point, and it is just Lu Ye's guess.
The key point is that if Jotaro Kujo wants to see someone in prison, and that person is a prisoner, he absolutely has to go through the visiting room, a fact he had already confirmed beforehand.
The meeting room is a crucial clue in finding the fragments!
Therefore, Lu Ye needs to be prepared.
"Oh... found it! There seems to be only one person with the surname 'Kujou,' named 'Air Conditioner Jolyne,' female, 19 years old, and she has a prior conviction for stealing a car when she was 14... But new guy, why are you asking about this?"
“Of course it’s out of curiosity,” Lu Ye said. “I’m new here, so I’m naturally curious about what crimes the criminals are imprisoned for. I heard that the guy named Kujo committed some pretty serious crimes.”
"Yes, this woman is ruthless. She hit a pedestrian while driving, and knowing the victim was still alive, she put the person in the trunk of her car and dumped the body. In the end, the victim didn't receive timely medical attention and died..."
“I see. Indeed, they have absolutely no morals,” Lu Ye sighed. “Do you seniors face situations like this every day?”
"Haha, murderers, robbers, thieves... all kinds of criminals are in 'Green Dolphin Prison.' It's safe to say that prisons are a melting pot of human evil. You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with those criminals."
The prison guard, sharing his experience, took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, "By the way, when you're on leave in the future, cherish this time, spend more time with your family, go for a walk to relax and adjust your mood. After all, those of us in this line of work are not much different from prisoners; we'll all be locked up here."
"Thank you, I will learn from this experience."
Lu Ye stared at the prison guard's computer screen.
Among the criminal information that was retrieved, a girl with delicate features, two-tone hair, a Mickey Mouse-like bun, and a braid at the back appeared in the prisoner list's avatar.
Jolyne Kujo.
Gender: Female.
Age 19 years old.
He has a prior conviction for theft.
He was imprisoned this time for theft, murder, and abandonment of a corpse.
He was convicted of three crimes and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
So it seems that Jotaro's visit to the prison wasn't to see the blonde white woman in the photo, but rather... to see his 19-year-old daughter.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye turned back and returned the pendant to Aimes.
This pendant was a gift from Jotaro to his daughter. Lu Ye thought it would be better to have Ames deliver it to Jolyne Kujo later, as he needed to investigate the clues and didn't have the time.
Next, we went to the meeting room.
Previously, when Director Muga Murat was checking his identity, he saw a notice posted on the wall of the detention center, which listed some things and procedures that prisoners' family members should pay attention to when visiting prisoners.
Judging from the time, Jotaro should not have arrived at the meeting room yet. Before that, he needs to go through various procedures to arrange a meeting with the prisoner.
However, at that moment, the prison guard started operating the computer, skillfully typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse on the information list of "Jolyne Kujou".
"Um...excuse me, what are you doing?"
"Oh, arranging accommodations and numbers for the prisoners, huh? This Jolyne Kujo just finished her interrogation yesterday and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. She should be transferred to the women's prison soon..."
