Lina cried for a very, very long time. Jiang Fei, who was outside, stopped the warden.
"Give them some more time," Jiang Fei said.
"Lord Ralph, I can only give them half an hour at most. You know that there is a specific time limit for the execution. I can't afford to delay it," the warden said.
"Alright, I won't make it difficult for you," Jiang Fei said as he stuffed an envelope with a stack of cash.
"Lord Ralph, you … How can I do that?" Although the warden said so, he did not hesitate to take the red envelope.
After taking the money, the warden waited outside with Jiang Fei. However, half an hour was not a long time. Jiang Fei did not go in to rush him. So, Lina cried until the time was up.
"Lord Ralph, we really can't wait this time. There is still a procedure for the execution. If we delay any longer, it will be too late," the warden said.
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded and turned his back to her.
Creak! The warden opened the door of the cell and walked in.
"Lord Sheriff, congratulations!" The warden said with a smile.
"Hehe, why would I congratulate you?" The warden sneered.
"Your case has been closed. Shouldn't you congratulate me?" The warden laughed.
"Alright, I'll congratulate you too!" The warden rolled his eyes.
"No, no, no … You may like it, but we don't." The warden waved his hand. He did not want to be associated with the warden.
"Alright, cut the crap. We're all in the same line of work. Who's trying to fool who?" The warden looked at the warden and said, "Can I have another drink with my daughter?"
"Please!" The warden had taken Jiang Fei's money, so he would still give face to the warden. After all, a glass of wine would not take long.
The warden first took two pieces of roasted lamb and put them in his mouth. Then, he chewed and said to himself, "Sigh, I'd better take a few bites now. I won't be able to eat anymore!"
The warden's words made Lina, who had just calmed down a little, burst into tears again.
"Come, girl, have one last drink with daddy!" The warden raised his glass.
"En!" Lina drank with the sheriff with tears in her eyes. Then the sheriff stood up and said to the warden, "Lead the way!"
"Please!" The warden was also quite respectful. He didn't let the prison guards escort the sheriff at all. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation.
After that, the sheriff strode out, leaving Lina alone in the cell, crying her heart out.
"Mr. Sheriff, do you have any other wishes?" Jiang Fei asked when he saw the sheriff walk out of the cell.
"Help me take care of that girl. Don't let her do anything stupid." The sheriff said. He knew that Jiang Fei was the judge who had tried him that day. Lina had also mentioned this person to him.
"Alright!" Although Jiang Fei agreed verbally, he knew that he could not fulfill this request at all. Firstly, Lina was determined to take revenge. Secondly, Jiang Fei needed Lina to disrupt the Gamma Dimension.
After that, the sheriff was taken away by the warden. Jiang Fei was led by another group of people to a room.
This room had a large one-way glass window. From the room where Jiang Fei was, he could see the next room, but the next room could not see this side.
Looking from the glass window, the next room was very simple. There was only a gallows that had been set up. Other than that, there were two strong executioners.
After a while, the sheriff was taken to the next room, and then, escorted by two prison guards, he walked to the gallows.
After going to the gallows, the two executioners took over the sheriff from the hands of the prison guards.
"Sir, please!" The two executioners opened the noose and said to the sheriff.
"Do you know me?" The sheriff looked at the two executioners and asked.
"…" The two executioners looked at each other. They didn't know what the former sheriff meant.
But then, the sheriff didn't say anything and took the initiative to put his head into the noose. Things had already come to this point, so it was useless to say anything. If the sheriff resisted at this time, the two burly executioners wouldn't be polite. Instead of being subdued and stuffed into the noose, it was better to die calmly like this so that he could have more dignity.
Watching the sheriff get into the noose, the warden under the gallows looked at his watch. There were about five minutes left before the execution.
"Sir, do you have any last words?" asked the warden.
"If possible, ask the supervisor next door to help me pass a message to the warden." The sheriff looked in Jiang Fei's direction. Although from his side, it was a solid wall, the sheriff knew very well that Jiang Fei was supervising the execution next door.
"What message?" asked the warden.
"Tell him that I've lost. I admit defeat. He can put all the blame on me, but I beg him not to make things difficult for my daughter," said the sheriff.
"…" There was no reply. Jiang Fei really couldn't bear to lie to a person who was about to die, and the warden did not dare to promise this on Jiang Fei's behalf.
"Please!" The sheriff looked in Jiang Fei's direction.
…
"Time's up! Execute! " After a moment of silence, following the warden's order, the two executioners next to the sheriff pulled the trigger. The floor under the sheriff's feet suddenly cracked, and his whole body fell instantly. He was then hung in the air by the noose.
Because of the effect of gravity, the sheriff's cervical vertebra was torn the moment he stopped falling. He lost consciousness, and his body could only instinctively twitch. After a few minutes, the sheriff completely stopped breathing.
"Sir, the examination is completed. The prisoner is dead!" said the warden after the examination.
"Mmm! Put the body in a coffin. "Jiang Fei nodded and then came out of the room. At this time, Lina was squatting in the corner of the corridor with a lonely face.
"He … Is he dead?" Lina asked when she saw Jiang Fei come out.
"Mmm!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"Can I take the body away for burial?" Lina asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded again.
"Thank you!" Lina stood up and bowed to Jiang Fei. She knew that Jiang Fei had pleaded for her. Otherwise, as a traitor, the sheriff would not allow the family to retrieve the body.
"Sigh, don't be too sad … Life has to go on. You have to look forward," Jiang Fei said.
"I know!" Lina nodded, then walked out of the building.
Jiang Fei went to chat with the warden for a while. After the coffin was done, he found Lina and left the prison with the sheriff's body.
