It is the largest prison closest to the Capital Star.
The prison’s main structure is built within a mountain peak. Prisoners don’t have heavy work, but there’s a lot of handicraft work.
It’s been established for hundreds of years and, to this day, there are no records of escapees.
However, the lack of escapees isn’t because of strict managent.
"Although the managent there is good, it generally only holds prisoners sentenced to less than ten years. It’s easier for family mbers to visit," Porlin nearly hinted that the Xue Family had so room to maneuver.
"But, don’t you want to force out Yi Suilu?" Su Xiaocai smiled slightly, "I know you have higher-priority cases in hand."
For instance, those involving the All-Knowing Sect.
"What if Yi Suilu knows about the All-Knowing Sect? The girl who broke into my dorm told Yi Suilu knows who the superpower user is that altered the video footage."
The investigators had already inford Su Xiaocai of the girl’s findings. Her follower was one of Xue Feiqun’s people, but she claid it wasn’t Xue Feiqun who sent her to break into Su Xiaocai’s dorm.
She hadn’t joined the All-Knowing Sect herself, but soone had control over evidence of her past cris.
The reason she knew Yi Suilu understood the truth was that Yi Suilu had recently contacted her online to ask for a loan.
The investigators couldn’t discern the truth from falsehood, given how information can be modified or fabricated. It was possible she orchestrated a ploy to lead them astray.
But she said Yi Suilu knew part of the truth. Su Xiaocai considered this likely.
Previously, at an auction, she was attacked, and Xue Huiyi was also assassinated by Yi Suilu, while a superpower user altered the video footage.
Though there was no evidence directly linking Yi Suilu to the superpower user, the possibility of their connection was high.
"Bifeng Prison prohibits outsiders from entering, so how would Yi Suilu get in?"
"That’s for Yi Suilu to figure out. You all could simulate it," Su Xiaocai offered a small suggestion and then made her exit.
The superpower user who altered the video footage needs to be near the footage to alter it. If he assists Yi Suilu in getting into Bifeng Prison, he’ll undoubtedly accompany him.
Spy organizations, assassins, rcenaries, the All-Knowing Sect, the Empire... all were adversary groups she’d encountered.
Which faction might the hidden superpower user belong to, or does he ddle in several organizations?
Porlin’s response to Su Xiaocai was to try to make arrangents.
Of course, he knew he could use Xue Huiyi to bait Yi Suilu, but without any intelligence, it’s hard to position personnel for a stakeout.
Capturing soone across planets always requires coordinating with colleagues on that planet, even to report how long the stakeout will last. It can’t just be a forceful entry.
Involve Bifeng Prison’s law enforcent for the stakeout?
They’d be good if they even listened.
Yu Haoming went back to file a visitation application, hoping to see Xue Huiyi before she left the Capital Star.
He didn’t like this cousin, yet since they were relatives, he was sowhat curious about what Xue Huiyi might say to him.
After applying, he and Su Xiaocai went to the original villa area, now called Yidian Cai Manor.
Su Xiaocai was concerned about her bamboo grove and vegetable plot, wondering about their health in her absence and when to harvest; she wanted to know it all.
Bamboo grows quickly; suitable water and soil can spur its growth.
Su Xiaocai got off at the gate; the vehicle drove itself back to its parking spot.
Yu Haoming: "Brother Ji has so many Space Buttons, how co you don’t keep the car inside?"
"I already brought two Space Buttons, one for the cha, one for miscellaneous items." Space Buttons have weight, akin to a small brick weighing seven to eight ounces. Only soone like Su Xiaocai could manage to go out carrying a bag full of Space Buttons.
Su Xiaocai pretended not to notice Ji Li’s suggestive look. After all, she’s a girl; isn’t it normal to carry five to six pounds of stuff?
Walking along the blue bamboo-lined path, Su Xiaocai spread her arms leisurely. After so distance, the view cleared up, revealing a tapestry of greens, vegetable plots, and pergolas.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a patch of bamboo had turned yellow, an outlier.
Su Xiaocai imdiately rushed over to see why the bamboo had changed.
She anxiously put on gloves to examine it, her first thought being, is the bamboo sick? An entire patch turning yellow, could it be an infection?
Upon closer inspection, the bamboo was tall and sturdy, with plenty of white spots on the surface.
She checked the soil and bamboo shoots; moisture levels were normal. After digging around, she found no peculiar insects.
It’s the season for bamboo shoots, and with the temperature control equipnt installed throughout the manor, the bamboo shoots were growing better than ever.
Yet seeing a cluster of blue shoots sprouting amid the yellow felt odd, like a spilled paint palette.
"When did this start happening?"
Ji Li said, "It should have been since the day Xiao Douya was brought over."
Xiao Douya hadn’t been around for that long; what had this gardening genius done?
Su Xiaocai scratched her head, "Xiao Douya, where did you go? Co out, I have questions for you."
