After returning to his cell, Andre’s IQ was now 130, far more than most people.
He directly calculated the plan in his mind. There were welds on the two ends of the round steel pipe. As long as those two welds were destroyed, the entire electric barbed wire fence would fall down.
Such a covert safety accident was definitely not allowed to happen in the prison.
They would immediately close the prisoners’ recreational yard.
The next recreational time would generally not be rescheduled, so that could easily provoke the prisoners’ resistance. It was not conducive for prison guard control.
The usual approach was to temporarily put the prisoners in Cell Block A and other blocks together. Of course, the prisoners would still be separated by the guards with an isolation belt.
That allowed the inmates to exercise outdoors and deplete their energy reserves.
It also prevented the inmates from operating in different areas.
Fighting, trading contraband, or passing on information were all not conducive to prison management…
Andre took these possible factors into account and waited patiently for the next outdoor recreational period.
It would not be long, just three more days…
Chicago Department of Justice.
Across from the Chief Justice, Christopher sat a middle-aged man with hawk eyes staring at him.
His name was Aidan. He had served in the Gulf War and worked for the immigration service since his return to the United States.
The Justice Department had transferred him to the Chicago Correctional Center to make Aidan the warden.
The original warden, Ryan had been sentenced to 25 years in prison after his trial because the criminal facts had been clear.
Ironically, Ryan was being held in the very same Chicago prison that he used to manage.
Aidan got up and took two books from Chief Justice Christopher’s hands.
One contained information from the Department of Justice and the police department, while the other had information found by the CIA.
Aidan skipped the first book and picked up the second book straight away to open and read it.
Aidan was absolutely new to the abilities of the CIA. It might be due to his past combat experience overseas, which allowed him to understand the horror of the CIA better than an ordinary person.
“Andre? Web author?” Aidan raised his head and glanced at his boss, Christopher.
Christopher gestured at him to continue reading.
‘Andre was born in Chicago…
‘He graduated from the University of Chicago’s Psychology Faculty…’
Aidan looked at Christopher again.
“What? That’s all you have for his profile?”
“It’s weird, isn’t it? I had the same expression when I first saw the information. You can just look at the rest.”
Aidan flipped to the last part of Christopher’s story in confusion. The more he read, the more shocked he became.
Half a year ago, the online writer, Andre had released his latest novel, “Prison Situation” on the Internet.
In its first week, the book set the record for the most downloaded, most collected, and most highly-rated bestseller in Amazon’s history.
Three months later, Andre had suddenly disappeared, and a month after his disappearance, he had updated the final chapter of “Prison Situation.”
The updated content confirmed that Sean, the “principal criminal” in the sadistic murder of world-famous model, Anna had successfully escaped. Plus, the process of his escape had been the same as the content in “Prison Situation.”
At that time, Chicago Warden Ryan had ordered a thorough screening of prisoners inside the prison.
The screening of the 11 most suspicious prisoners had revealed the same problem with their backgrounds.
Their next-of-kin were either dead or missing.
Plus, their identities abroad could not be verified because of the various circumstances.
The CIA operations team had mobilized Secret Service agents stationed around the country, and they had spent weeks going through them one by one.
The seven most suspicious individuals were then identified.
They were David, Hunter, Owen, Adrian, John, Logan, and Cooper.
One of the seven had to be using the pseudonym of the web author, Andre, who had somehow deleted all his personal information before he had gone to prison.
Hence, the former Chicago Correctional Center warden, Ryan never caught him.
The Chief Justice had lost huge funding because of this. So, he definitely hoped that the new warden, Aidan, would be able to catch that d*mned web author.
Aidan finished reading the information about Andre and raised his head to look at his boss, Christopher.
“I don’t think Ryan’s capture was in vain.”
“Oh?” Christopher looked at Aidan. “Tell me about it.”
Aidan adjusted himself into a more comfortable posture and said, “Since Ryan has narrowed the scope to seven people, he’s still trying to find out the identities and backgrounds of these seven individuals. He’s really stupid.
“Ryan values his public image too much. He’s always hoping for a lucky break.
“He’s afraid that due to his extreme behavior, he’ll lose control and push himself to the edge of the cliff.
“But, he forgot that Andre’s appearance already made him stand on the edge of the cliff.”
Christopher stood up from his chair and looked at Aidan with admiration.
“Well said. What would you do in his place?”
Aidan straightened his posture, and his sharp hawk eyes returned.
“Eliminate them! I would eliminate these seven people at the same time.”
