Chapter 59 Wei
Caitlin didn't believe in evil. Even though she knew she might run into a wall, she still went for it.
She hurried home with the intention of getting the congressman's signature and starting the investigation legally.
Levi was very politely "invited" by law enforcement officers to go to jail in accordance with the investigation procedures.
Because the management of Piltover is rather rough, there is no distinction between detention centers and prisons.
Whether they were prisoners serving sentences or suspects awaiting investigation and trial, regardless of gender, age, or whether they were sentenced to light or heavy sentences, they were all stuffed into Jingshui Prison outside the southern port of the city.
This place is several thousand meters away from the city, isolated on an island, surrounded by the sea, with humid air and dark environment. It is indeed not a good place to go.
But Levi is taken care of by the Gilaman family after all.
Caitlin had given notice in advance, and no one in the prison dared to embarrass him.
He was assigned to a relatively spacious cell, which was dark and damp, but at least it was clean.
"Hey, new guy—"
Because the interior space of Jingshui Prison is relatively spacious, the sound transmission effect is very good.
The prisoners in the prison don't have to work and don't have the benefit of going out for exercise, so they can only stay in their cells all day and stare blankly. Each one is more bored than the other.
So as soon as Levi moved in, many of his fellow inmates tried to stick their heads out of the bars and send their voices over from afar, wanting to get close to this newcomer:
"Let's talk. How did you get in?"
"Beat someone." Levi answered casually.
"Tsk... boring." One inmate was unhappy. The only entertainment here was listening to stories, but the beginning of Levi's story didn't sound that interesting.
However, Levi was quite interested in listening to their stories and having a good chat with them.
After all, everyone in the prison is talented and speaks well. He has nothing to do anyway, so he might as well try to develop them.
So Li Wei asked, "Then how did you get in?"
"Nothing, except that when I was a pirate, I killed dozens of people." Someone answered proudly.
Levi: “…”
This kind of thing cannot be modified, so just pass it.
"Ah... I was sentenced to 50 years in prison just for stealing an electric motorcycle," someone lamented.
This one seems to be salvageable, we can talk about it.
"Isn't it just that I accidentally killed a dozen people while driving away? Is it that serious? I didn't do it on purpose..."
Levi: “…”
You don't need to be reformed, just shoot you.
"I'm here because of the damn Piltover Council!" someone else cursed loudly.
Right from the start, the criticism is directed at the Piltover Council, which sounds quite progressive. I think we can talk about this.
"They actually said that my slave trade was illegal and arrested me. Fuck you... I worked so hard to get slaves from Shurima, how could it be easy for me? In the end, they just complained that I didn't pay them enough tribute, didn't they?"
Levi: “…”
Don't even bother to modify it, just let the weapon master hang you up.
After such a conversation, Li Wei discovered...
The idea of trying to develop reformable subjects in prison is completely wrong.
Because those Zaun people who have conscience, have not committed serious crimes, and may be developed into companions are basically unlikely to be imprisoned here.
They were either shot dead by law enforcement officers when they were arrested, or kicked back to Zaun by law enforcement officers.
Want to sneak into the prison and eat for free ? Not possible.
Most of those who are imprisoned in Stillwater Prison are local criminals of Piltover.
There are people from Zaun, but they are basically extremely vicious criminals who are almost impossible to reform.
Looking for potential companions among such scum...that's like panning for gold in shit.
So Levi kept chatting and decided not to pay any attention to them.
But at this time, someone took the initiative to talk to him:
"Hey, new guy~"
The person who spoke was actually a girl.
The voice is young, lively, powerful, and has a natural rebelliousness.
Although I couldn't see his face because of the cells between us, I could imagine from his voice that he must be a dashing, fake young man.
She suddenly asked Levi: "Are you from Piltover or Zaun?"
"Zuan people." Levi replied.
"Then have you seen a girl named Baobao in Zaun? She has blue hair and blue eyes. She is very cute, a little timid, but sometimes very paranoid... She should be 16 years old this year."
The girl asked in a serious tone.
"Hahaha, Wei!" But as soon as she finished speaking, a cellmate shouted her name in mockery:
"I'm really impressed by you. You ask this question to every newcomer. I say, don't waste your energy... You've been locked up here for so many years, and you're still thinking about finding your sister?"
"I think she's already dead!"
"Shut up!!" the girl named Wei growled angrily.
Then came a heavy blow from an iron fist - the fist hit the stone wall of her own cell, but the dull sound was so shocking that it could be heard from far away.
"It turned out to be her..."
Levi knew who he was talking to:
Chu Yuxuan... ahem, that's not right:
It’s [Piltover Law Enforcer Wei].
But she is still in prison now, and is far from being the partner of Sheriff Caitlyn and the future law enforcement officer of Piltover.
As for the "Baobao" that Wei mentioned , it is naturally her sister, the future [Volatile Loli Jinx].
Levi actually knows where Jinx is now.
but……
He thought about it and decided not to tell her right now.
Because Wei is a super sister complex. If she knew that Bomb was still alive, the only thing on her mind would be where her sister was, whether her sister was doing well, how to find her sister... She could only think of these questions and would not be able to listen to anything else.
Besides, everyone was still locked up in jail, so even if she told Wei the whereabouts of her sister, she couldn't rush out to see her sister.
Not to mention, according to Levi:
"Your sister is no longer the 'Boom' you knew."
"If you rashly go to see her, I'm afraid you'll only push her further away."
Levi sighed quietly in his heart.
So he carefully answered: "Sorry... I have never seen this 'Explosion' you are talking about."
"Really...Okay!" Wei punched the wall heavily.
She sighed in disappointment, and asked Levi with concern, "It's been a long time since anyone from Zaun came to our prison area."
"Since you are from Zaun, can you tell me how Hilco is doing now?"
"Um...you know Hilco, right?"
Of course Levi knew. Every Zaun knew the name of Hilco.
Because Hilco is the gang godfather of Zaun, and is now the leader of Zaun recognized by all the alchemy barons.
Here, we have to talk about the feud between Wei and Silko:
Ten years ago, Zaun organized an armed uprising under the leadership of Chief Vandal, which was brutally suppressed by Piltover law enforcement officers on the Sungate Canal Bridge.
Wei and Jinx's parents lost their lives in that failed armed uprising.
Leader Vandal adopted two sisters who were orphaned in this battle. He was disheartened by the failure and reached a compromise with the Piltover law enforcers, giving up the radical line of armed struggle.
But his former comrade-in-arms, Hilko, was extremely dissatisfied with his appeasement policy, and finally, almost six years ago, he made a severe criticism of Van der's capitulationist line - a criticism of weapons.
Hilko launched an armed coup and seized the leadership of Zaun from Vandall.
Whether this is good or bad for Zaun is not discussed for now.
Anyway, in Wei's view, Hilco is the murderer of her adoptive father Vandel, the super villain who caused her friend to die young, her sister to go missing, and herself to be imprisoned.
She hated Hilco with all her heart.
So whenever a Zaun was imprisoned, she wanted to ask them how Hilco was doing now.
"Hilco..."
Levi thought about it and answered carefully:
"I've been an apprentice in Piltover for the past two years, so I don't know much about it."
"But I heard from the new apprentice that Hilco's business has been growing bigger and bigger in the past two years, and his power has also been growing stronger. Not to mention in Zaun, even the law enforcement officers of Piltover have to be polite and courteous when they see Hilco's men."
"This..." Wei cursed angrily: "Fuck you!"
"This scumbag is getting more and more comfortable... Fine, that's fine. He needs to live well... When I get out, I'll slowly settle accounts with him!"
"Do you have a grudge against him?" Li Wei asked knowingly.
But Wei just snorted and stopped talking.
Obviously, she didn't want to expose her scars to strangers.
But Levi really wanted to chat with her for a while.
Seeing that Wei ignored him after asking his own question, he thought for a moment, then pretended to be puzzled and sighed:
"Why do you hate Hilco so much?"
"In fact, I quite admire him."
