"Wait, you just said... this prisoner named Jolyne Kujo is about to be transferred to the women's prison... does that mean she's not in prison yet?"
“Of course, the suspect has to be interrogated first, and then we’ll decide where to go,” the prison guard said. “Even though this woman killed someone in a car accident, she can’t be put in jail immediately. She has to wait for the court to convict her, just like Ames, whom you met before.”
"Is it through surveillance?" Lu Ye looked at the multiple monitors above the computer.
"Yes, she'll be on trial soon. She'll probably be in the same batch of guys sent to prison as Jolyne Kujo. Also... you shouldn't have returned the things you took from Ames earlier."
“Another prison guard and I have already checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it… I’m sorry, if I have violated any rules, I will go and get it back now.”
“That’s not what I meant. If you had broken the rules, I would have rung the warning bell already,” the prison guard said. “I have a pretty good job at the detention center now, and I’m not competing with you guys in prison, so I’m telling you this so you can understand the ‘benefits’.”
"benefit?"
"Yes, you've seen prison-themed movies and TV series, haven't you?"
"I've seen some."
"This is a state prison, unlike the federal prisons that hold economic criminals. The people in here are the most vicious bastards. Federal prisons are funded by the federal government, while state prisons are funded by the state government. Generally speaking, federal prisons have more funding, so the conditions, including food, living environment, and exercise equipment, are better. But Florida doesn't have much money to begin with, so there's not much money to spend on improving prison conditions, and guys like us get even less pay."
"So, what do you mean by 'benefits'..."
Lu Ye looked in the direction of the prison.
"That's right. You think prisoners are well-off once they're in jail? You're wrong. Most prisoners will contact friends and relatives to give them money regularly, because you need money for everything inside, from the order in which you get a chance to call the outside world to the arrangement of when you go to the toilet..."
The prison guard said, taking another sip of coffee to moisten his throat: "Anyway, you're still young, you should make more money. Feel free to squeeze every last drop out of those criminals. Don't feel guilty towards them, and don't expect them to be like you, otherwise they wouldn't be in prison right now."
After leaving the duty room, Lu Ye began to think.
Jolyne Kujo isn't in prison yet, so what is Jotaro doing at the Green Dolphin Prison?
With this question in mind, Lu Ye followed the map area marked on the door and soon found the meeting room.
All five meeting rooms were occupied, but Jotaro was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Ye then checked the meeting list and found that Jotaro Kujo's name was not on it at all.
This shows that he actually had no intention of visiting him in prison.
But... where are they?
Green Dolphin Prison is heavily guarded, with many areas that are inaccessible to the general public.
Did Jotaro not come to the Green Dolphin Prison?
Or perhaps he has nothing to do with the clues at all?
Lu Ye thought for a moment.
Right.
The information I received was about the third meeting room.
You shouldn't focus your attention elsewhere; just observe the third meeting room carefully.
Inside the prison, because of his identity as a "prison guard," Lu Ye was actually quite free.
Because in prison, each prison guard has their own duty roster and work schedule, and the guards strictly follow these schedules to carry out their work, thereby ensuring the orderly operation of the entire prison.
Lu Ye, this sudden newcomer, did not give the warden and the prison director time to prepare any work for him.
Therefore, once his name appeared on the duty roster, Lu Ye was basically free to move around in the prison, which made it easier to investigate clues.
He began to pretend to be on patrol, spending time keeping an eye on the third meeting room.
Several hours passed, but there seemed to be no movement in the meeting room.
Lu Ye even made an excuse to go in and check the situation, but he couldn't find anything.
Whether it was visitors, prisoners, or the guards, nothing seemed amiss.
Perhaps the time hasn't come yet...
Suddenly, Lu Ye felt a sharp pain in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he felt dizzy, his body temperature began to rise, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
My body suddenly changed.
Lu Ye knew this long-lost feeling.
These are symptoms of fever.
At the same time, a line of small blue text appeared in front of him.
[Bonus: Stand]
[Already Obtained]
Chapter 714 The Prisoner
substitute? !
Could it be because of that pendant?!
Lu Ye immediately realized what was happening.
He looked at his palm; the wound that had been pierced earlier had healed.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ye immediately went to the corner of the monitored area, bought a universal medicine, and gave himself an injection so that he could get through the virus.
Once the liquid enters the body, the symptoms of fever and dizziness immediately begin to subside.
However, Lu Ye didn't notice anything unusual about his body, nor did he see his own substitute...
Lu Ye took out the small stone and examined it carefully.
I see. That explains it. Jotaro Kujo probably gave this to Jolyne Kujo to help her awaken her Stand in order to cope with the situation in prison.
Although Xiaobai mentioned before that Stands can be passed down through bloodlines, this is not absolute. Sometimes, the children born to Stand users may not have Stands.
However, the children of Stand users have an advantage: if they have the opportunity to obtain a Stand during their growth, such as by getting an "arrow," then these people will not die from the virus because they have inherited their parents' abilities to some extent.
But Lu Ye still couldn't understand how this thing ended up in Aimes's hands.
Before being convicted, people in detention centers can legitimately receive items from relatives and others, which, after being inspected and deemed compliant, can be delivered to the prisoners.
Ames found the pendant on a floor bolt in the detention center.
In other words, the item wasn't sent to the wrong place; it did initially end up in Jolyne's hands, but for some reason ended up in Aimee's.
I just can't figure it out...
However, after thinking about it, Lu Ye decided to find an opportunity to return the stone fragment to Xu Lun.
A person can only have a "substitute" once. It's futile to try to use it on yourself again. It's better to give it back to the original owner, since it's a self-protection tool that a father left for his daughter.
Lu Ye wasn't worried that Jotaro Kujo was a bad person.
He didn't judge himself by appearances; he wasn't such a superficial person.
Jotaro Kujo specifically gave this pendant to Jolyne, so he himself is most likely a Stand user.
Moreover, even after his daughter possessed the qualifications to awaken a Stand user and had mastered the necessary items for awakening a Stand, Jotaro still did not allow her to awaken a Stand before the age of 19, which is enough to demonstrate his concern for his daughter.
Stands possess unique abilities, and these abilities are exclusive, just like Giorno and Mista, whom Lu Ye encountered before, both of whom had their own Stand abilities.
The former seems to be able to rewrite certain rules, making it impossible for people to reach the "reality" they want to reach, while the latter seems to be able to manipulate bullets, making amazing maneuvers such as bullets making a 180-degree turn.
The Italian chef in Morioh, whom Giorno mentioned, has a Stand ability that, while not usable in combat, can heal injuries and ailments through delicious cooking!
For most people in the world, having their own unique superpower is a good thing.
But Xiaobai said that Stand users are attracted to each other.
Because of some mysterious destiny, Stand users will meet together.
Such an encounter could be a good thing, fostering a friendship or love, but it could also attract fierce enemies and bring disaster upon oneself.
That's why Jotaro chose not to let his daughter awaken her Stand.
However, he now has no choice but to do so because his daughter is in prison, which is no longer a place a father can easily reach.
Even until the end of today's meeting, Lu Ye did not find anything unusual.
The meeting room was closed shortly afterward.
Lu Ye had no choice but to leave.
Although prison guards have freedom of movement within the prison, it is still a prison with strict management and discipline.
For example, buildings such as men's prisons, women's prisons, the main control building, laundry rooms, and factories are connected by passageways to varying degrees. While facilities like the laundry room and medical building are open during the day, these passageways are immediately closed in the evening after activity hours. The cold, closely spaced iron fences only allow rats to pass through.
These were all things Lu Ye had seen in a brochure in the detention center's lobby when he "joined" the force. New prison guards here also need training because everyone who comes here is assumed to be a graduate of an American police academy, so there is no formal training. A newcomer only needs to be mentored by an experienced guard for a few days and spend some time in the duty room before they can learn everything.
Of course, this process, similar to an "onboarding manual," still exists, although almost no one reads it, but it's just right for imposters like Lu Ye.
After leaving, Lu Ye rushed to the nearest duty room without stopping.
Although we can't go to the meeting room, there are surveillance cameras inside, so the duty room should be able to see what's happening inside.
On his way to the duty room, Lu Ye suddenly heard footsteps coming from around the corner.
It's already this late, and the passageway gates are about to close. If we don't go inside, we'll be heading towards the public area outside the prison.
Lu Ye was a little curious. He took a few steps to the outside, slowed down, and then a black figure emerged from around the corner.
After seeing the figure clearly, Lu Ye was stunned.
"Father...?"
What appeared in Lu Ye's field of vision was a brown-skinned man wearing a "sage's black robe." Lu Ye thought he was a priest because the black robe the man was wearing was the kind of long black robe worn by priests of the Heavenly Cult, resembling a trench coat.
The fact that a priest would appear in prison puzzled Lu Ye.
But considering the map he had seen before, Lu Ye had no more doubts.
After all, there is a chapel in the public area of the "Green Dolphin Prison".
Strictly speaking, it would be more accurate to call priests working in prisons "admonitors." Admonitors would advocate for the right to parole for some inmates based on their behavior, so they were highly respected figures in prisons.
Lu Ye took a quick look and concluded that the man in front of him was around forty years old, with brown skin and eyes, and short, cropped white hair that looked like plowed land...
Lu Ye felt that he was still unable to appreciate the aesthetics of this world in the short term.
Seemingly noticing Lu Ye's gaze, the other person also looked over.
