In the past, Yoko was also a street boy who could "call the wind and rain", but now he is just a very inconspicuous small character in the prison area. But Yoko still has her own pursuits, he said: "Life is so short, you must live a wonderful life." The degree of this "wonderful" can be big or small, but as long as you live, there is hope.
Yoko was on the top of alcohol at the time,
took a machete, and borrowed a gun from a friend,
With the brethren shouting,
Hurried to the construction site that Brother Ji said.
It's like the plot in the movie "Crazy Boy".
After taking the brothers to the construction site,
Yoko took out her pistol and loaded it,
"Bang Bang" fired two shots into the air.
Two shots later,
That's six and a half years in prison.
"Starting point" means to improve one's position.
The inmates in the detention center are a bit high and low. The "Commander" is the person with the highest "point" in the cell, usually a figure with a head and a face outside, that is, the big brother we usually call a mixed society. Secondly, there are a few "trumpet managers", whose prestige is not as high as that of the trumpet, and when the newcomers come in, they are responsible for teaching the rules and arranging some daily affairs in the trumpet. Those with low "points" have the least status in the number, and they have limited access to food and water, and they can only sleep on the floor when there are not enough beds.
If a newcomer wants to improve his status in the number, which is commonly known as the "starting point", he generally defeats the powerful people in the number by fighting in the number.
That day, Yoko's cell 804 was in a boiling and alarming the general monitoring room.

Yoko has been in for a year to guard the house. Longer than I've been here.
Like most mixed societies, Yoko is covered in tattoos.
It was my first year at the detention center, and it was the first time I had seen so many tattoos. When I first joined the company, Lao Li told me: "Don't be afraid, people with tattoos are afraid in their hearts and want to scare others through tattoos." "Later, I saw a tattooed nameless Buddha statue, a tattooed demon skeleton, a tattooed dragon playing with pearls, and a tattooed martial saint Guan Yu.
I noticed that Yoko had a colorful tattoo on her body, and if you looked closely, I could tell that it was probably a fish.
Yoko said that this is a koi, and a few years ago it was said that koi can bring good luck, so she got a tattoo.
However, the koi did not bring him good luck. 24-year-old Yoko is the second to enter the palace.
On the day of the accident, Yoko was drinking outside and was getting drunk. A man named Brother Ji called him and said, "Yoko, something happened, you should call some brothers to come to the construction site quickly!" It is said that Yoko was drunk at the time, and dropped a beer bottle with a snap, and then called his friends around him, and soon saved up two carloads of people. Armed with a machete, he borrowed a gun from a friend, and with the shouting of his brothers, he hurried to the construction site that Brother Kei had said.
It's very similar to the plot in the Hong Kong movie "Crazy Boy".
The two groups of people on the construction site could not negotiate because of engineering problems, and they were ready to go.
It should have been Yoko and their arrival that contributed to this shopping rush. Yoko's fellow cellmate said that she was very excited at the time.
After the two carloads arrived at the construction site menacingly, Yoko took out a pistol and loaded it, and fired two shots into the air with a "bang".
Two shots later, six and a half years in prison.
There was a dead man that day, and it was the head of another group of people who died, called the vulture. The cause of death was bleeding from the thigh arteries. However, no one wants to admit that the fatal wound was from their own hands.
As soon as the police first arrested a few people, the two groups began to bite each other and report each other, and as a result, more and more people were involved. Yoko was caught in another prefecture after running away.
It was night when I was caught. Later, I saw the footage of that day in the promotional video of the big case in the city: Yoko was shirtless and was taken out of the house by two policemen. What impressed me the most was his tattoos.
Yes, it's the koi.

The commander of cell 804 is Brother Ki, who called Yoko.
Although in principle, co-defendants cannot be kept in the same cell, for fear of colluding with each other. But their case has long passed the investigation stage, and when it arrived at the procuratorate, the trial had already been held some time ago.
I remember that on the day of the trial, several police cars and forty or fifty bailiffs came to the court, and they were handcuffed and shackled, and their heads were covered. The road to the court was immense.
Shortly after the trial, the original commander of 804 went to prison to serve his sentence. Brother Ji was transferred from 808 to 804 as the commander.
And this time there was a fight in the 804 cell, and it was Yoko and a few low-point prisoners who beat the 804 "current" commander.
What kind of existence is the commander? Is it a "position" that has been "sealed" by the people's police? Or is it a natural leader of their group?
Later, a document was issued to crack down on the phenomenon of "cell bosses and prison tyrants" and prevent the existence of a commander, so the following was changed to a euphemistic name, called "security watchman". Later, the security attendant was not allowed to do so. All the work in the cell must be done by the civilian police. But in reality, every group has its own natural leader, whether it is a crowd or another group.
As their leader, Brother Kei's management seems to have caused a lot of dissatisfaction. After the old trumpet commander left, his younger brother may not be very suitable for the new trumpet, and some of the low ones may remember a little, so the group fight of 804 broke out.
But Yoko is not for these reasons.
Yoko did it because Brother Ki wanted to shake the pot.
When I went to the construction site to fight for land that day, Brother Ji made a phone call, and Yoko didn't say a word and pulled two cars of people in place. However, according to Yoko, on the day of the trial, in court, Kigo flatly denied that he asked Yoko to call someone.
Yoko said he was angry.
We looked at the footage of the fight in cell 804, and Yoko was very heavy. I took a plastic bench and smashed it on my head, and the bench broke several times.
Yoko was quickly equipped after the group fight, and then transferred to another number. The police of the package number talked and educated him, and Yoko was still unconvinced, probably because of the youth and vigor of this age, which is a tendon as the saying goes, or-
Paranoid personality.
The mind is completely occupied by the truth that it thinks is right, and it is constantly strengthened, and finally it falls into narrow thoughts and cannot extricate itself. I don't listen to anyone at all.
Yoko is like that. During my time there, he got into two fights. Another time he got into an argument with the prison doctor, and he used vulgar language to insult the prison doctor, but fortunately there was an iron bar separating the two of them, otherwise it would have been another disaster.

Yoko's childhood and adolescence cannot be described as stable.
When he was eight months old, his father went to the detention center for picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Later, when his father was sent to prison to serve his sentence, his mother took him to the prison to visit him. But when he was three years old, his mother left him and returned to Sichuan.
Yoko dropped out of school early and learned to make cakes at a cake shop.
However, the environment is too important to live. The circumstances in which you live determine the direction of your life. After playing around with some young people in society for a while, Yoko quickly integrated into them.
And in this social environment, it is too easy to learn badly.
Yoko, who has nothing to do, lingers in bars, KTV, chess and card rooms and other places, singing all day and night, and the lights are bright. And I don't know when he started "skating".
"Methamphetamine is a thing that can easily be picked up in society. Yoko said.
There are a lot of drug users in this world, far more than I imagined when I was a student. Sometimes we see that the outside world is peaceful, and once I talked to a friend who was still in college about drug dealers, and he even looked naïve: "Drug dealers?
Later, Yoko slowly boiled from a little brother to a small head of a group of people.
There are shares of Yoko on the outside game. Mahjong, Pai Gow, in which the organizers take a profit. Some people lose all their money in it, and some people put usury in the casino, for example, if you borrow 10,000 yuan, you can only get 9,000.
Investing in the card game, following others to put usury, Yoko has a head and a face. However, people like him are impetuous, and they don't know the height of the sky, so on the night they received the call, they rushed to the scene with someone with a gun and shouting.
I asked Yoko that day if she had a girlfriend.
Yoko said, "If I didn't come in last year, I should get married this year." The house has been bought and is being renovated. ”
I said, "What about your girlfriend when you come in?"
Yoko fell into deep thought.
People are suspicious by nature. If you can't meet her for three or five years, will the outside world have already been turned upside down?
I've heard Yoko say from someone in the same cell that in prison, there are often people who break the little trust you just built. For example, there are always people who tell you that your girlfriend is dangerous outside, and there are so many temptations outside, you don't know how many times you have been green.
In the detention center, you can write letters to the outside world, write some short stories about parents, and as long as the content does not involve the facts of the case, you can send it out. You can also receive letters from outside. Some prisoners become anxious and anxious as long as they do not receive a letter from their home for more than a month.
I didn't want Yoko to be anxious and imaginative, so I quickly diverted from the topic.

Cell 807 contains a special prisoner.
Ever since I arrived at the detention center, he has been lying on his bed with his eyes closed. Tell him not to hear, shoot him and don't react.
There were two groups of people fighting at the construction site that day.
A group of vultures and a group of Kego. At the beginning, on the whole, there were many people in Brother Ji, and the vulture was not convinced, so he asked his subordinates to call people. Later, the man who came with a machete was nicknamed Leopard.
The leopard really has a leopard tattooed on its body with a fierce gaze. That day he exposed the wild nature of the leopard, and his hand fell with a knife, and one person was cut by him with minor injuries, and several minor injuries.
807 was lying down the leopard who was fearless at that time.
I thought he was injured during the fight, so he couldn't take care of himself. But Lao Li told me that he didn't have anything to do, he just kept pretending to be stupid and sick.
He was wearing a green hospital gown when I came, and he was the focus of attention.
For more than a year, he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, never saying a word, and urinating and urinating into his pants.
The detention center could not watch him starve to death, so they put him on a stomach tube and gave him liquid food for three meals a day. The people in the same cell also took care of him, and found someone to carry him to the toilet every day.
There is a reason why everyone agrees that the leopard is faking illness.
The leopard had previously been sentenced for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and was executed outside prison for pretending to be crazy and stupid in prison. Now, before the sentence outside prison has expired, this incident has happened again.
Yoko said: "At that time, he was holding a machete, and he was happier than anyone else, and now he is pretending to be a grandson here." ”
The six-year sentence for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, plus the six years that had not been completed before, will take another 12 years for the leopard to see the light of day.
The above means that he must not be released on bail, and this guy will die in it even if he dies.
The leopard's condition seems to have deteriorated these days. Because he has been lying in bed and is inactive, he has bedsores on his back. The weight has also dropped sharply from 200 catties when he first entered the institute to 100 catties now. Skinny and a little scary.
The money leopard tattooed on its body also seemed to have shrunk to the point that it had lost its previous aura.
Whether the leopard wanted to pretend to be sick and stupid and be released on bail pending trial, or for other reasons, no one knows.
However, it is also astonishing to have such amazing perseverance, and not open your eyes and not turn over for more than a year.

The verdict was handed down not long after the trial.
The first defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment, that is, the man who cut out the fatal wound, and probably spent the rest of his life in prison.
Yoko was sentenced to six and a half years. After coming out, he was thirty years old, missing the best age. Not to mention what earth-shaking changes will happen outside in the past six and a half years, the departure of lovers, the loss of various opportunities, etc. In the past six and a half years, he has had very few opportunities to contact with the outside society, and when he comes out, he is seriously out of touch with society, and he doesn't know how to integrate into it.
Lao Li told me that if you stay here for a long time, people's hearts and eyes will become small, and big things will quarrel and even fight.
Yoko said that she always likes to use some extreme words to express her emotions in it.
I asked him what extreme words he was.
"For example, if I want to say, 'I'm angry,' I always say, 'I'm going to kill you.'" ”
He said this with a serious attitude, but it made me laugh.
I remember watching a movie called "The Shawshank Redemption" a long time ago. Lao Bu spent fifty years in prison, and after regaining his freedom, he found that he was out of step with the outside world, and finally left behind the masterpiece of "Lao Bu visited here" and committed suicide in a daze.
The Shawshank Redemption
At that time, there was a word mentioned in the movie, "institutionalization". After spending so much time in prison, I have become dependent on life there.
I don't know what kind of mentality Lao Bu had at the last moment of his life. Burnt, disappointed, or calm?
I don't know if Yoko has ever really regretted it.
There is a line in "Infernal Affairs", if you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
It seems that there are many choices to be made in life, but in fact, there are only a few intersections that determine the direction of our lives.
When she was eight months old, Yoko was already destined to be a policeman, because he couldn't even pass the political trial. In many cases, there is no choice.
But if he is still so arrogant that he is empty-eyed, what awaits him must be the most severe sanction of the law.

There are two types of people in the detention center who can stay in the corridors of the detention area. One is called "foreign workers", which is to assist the police in cleaning the corridors and doing some work such as taking out garbage. There is also a haircut, which cuts the inmates in the cell every once in a while, so that they can breathe in the fresh air in the corridor.
Yoko gave them a haircut, and the technique was not bad.
I asked Yoko if she would get a haircut outside before?
Yoko said, "No, I learned it inside." ”
Yoko said that barbers could "come out and play", so she learned to barge.
He smiled and said, "Do you want to give you one too?" ”
I waved my hand and said no.
Time hasn't been completely wasted.
I have seen some people read the Analects and the Tao Te Ching in the number, and talk to the prisoners in their cells every day.
I've seen some horn commanders recite the Heart Sutra with the whole cell, and recite it every morning.
I have also seen prisoners bully prisoners in an attempt to assert their authority.
Yoko is just a very inconspicuous small role in the prison area.
In fact, who is not like this, and I myself am not an inconspicuous small role among many police officers.
Yoko said one day: "Life is so short, you must live a wonderful life." ”
Everyone's understanding of wonder is different, I don't know what he said about wonderful, singing every night, the girl hugging left and right, probably what they call wonderful.
And why care about what is high and low.
It's all small people, don't say anything big.
Just stay alive.
