Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 521 The highest security prison
In northern Mexico, in front of the Altiplano Prison, Song Heping and Ferrari got out of the car, told Jiang Feng to drive the car to the parking lot and wait, and then came to the door.

After a phone call, a senior superintendent in a blue prison guard uniform quickly came out, followed by two prison guards wearing bulletproof vests and holding M4A1 assault rifles.

Song Heping noticed that the prison guards here were a little different.

Not only do they have assault rifles and bulletproof vests, but they also have grenades and stun grenades hanging on their tactical vests. It is no exaggeration to say that they are armed to the teeth.

It can be seen from this that this is a prison with a very high security level, which is not comparable to ordinary prisons.

"Mr. Song, I'm Gardner, the deputy warden here. We received a notice from our superiors yesterday. However, before you go in, I still need to go through the formalities according to the regulations. This way, please."

After saying that, Gardner turned and walked towards the prison entrance, with Song Heping and Ferrari following behind him.

In the small house at the entrance, Song Heping registered, and then the Ferrari was stopped.

"He can't go in." Superintendent Gardner pointed at the Ferrari. "Only you can go in."

"He's my man," Song Heping explained, "and I have high-level authorization from the government."

Song Heping obtained authorization from the CIA.

Kelly contacted the Mexican government and obtained high-level authorization from them. With the authorization, Song Heping was able to enter and leave Altiplano Prison freely and meet Joaquin and Barlotte.

"Sorry, we've been told by our superiors that only you can go in," Gardner said, seemingly in a businesslike manner. "Our prison is a top-tier one. Shorty has escaped before, so the president has personally instructed us to ensure he doesn't get out this time."

Seeing this, Ferrari said to Song Heping: "In that case, I'd better wait here."

Song Heping no longer insisted: "Okay, my people stay here, I'll go in."

After completing the registration and verification procedures, Song Heping followed Gardner out of the cabin and continued walking forward.

After walking about ten meters, there was another door.

This time, Song Heping was asked to take out all his belongings for inspection and pass through a metal detector. After that, all the small items were sealed in plastic bags and placed in a cabinet for safekeeping. His belt was even taken away...

Then walk further in and soon enter a long corridor.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were painted in a light yellowish-green color, and the gaps between the bricks were clearly visible. After taking a look, Song Heping felt that the quality of this type of building was very reliable.

There are two iron gates along the way. Both of them are made of fine steel as thick as a thumb, and there are two guards on duty at each gate.

After coming out of the corridor, the view in front of me finally opened up.

The two continued across an open space and onto a paved road.

Soon, they arrived in front of a pickup truck.

The police officer waiting by the car opened the door and welcomed the two men into the car.

After getting in the car, Song Heping started to find topics to talk about.

"Deputy Warden, Shorty was captured before but managed to escape. Can you really guarantee that he can't escape this time?"

"That's impossible this time. We've made special arrangements for him. Even if he spreads his wings like a bird, he can't fly out of this prison."

Garnard answered Song Heping's question very frankly.

In his opinion, Song Heping is a CIA man.

The capture of Shorty and important figures from the five major families has become a household news in Mexico. Garnard has also heard some legends from insiders. This time Shorty and his men were arrested because of a Chinese undercover CIA agent.

When he saw Song Heping, he roughly guessed that the other party might be the undercover agent.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to ask such a sensitive question to confirm Song Heping's identity.

"Look at our prison. It's divided into six areas. Areas one to five are divided according to the severity of the crimes. Area one is for small-time drug dealers and thieves. Area two is for violent criminals. Area three is for gang thugs and killers. Area four is for drug dealers. Area five is for psychopathic murderers. Area six is ​​different from the previous areas. It's completely independent and heavily guarded. The security level is much higher than the other areas. It's used to detain famous drug lords, like Shorty and the top leaders of the five major families..."

He boasted endlessly about his prison. The Americans had been demanding the extradition of several major drug lords from Mexico, while the Mexican government, for various reasons, was reluctant to do so. In the back-and-forth political wrangling, the Americans used rampant corruption in the Mexican police and lax prison security, leading to frequent drug lord escapes, as excuses. Gardner suspected Song Heping had a purpose in this visit: to investigate the prison's security vulnerabilities and then provide intelligence to the CAI, potentially as a pretext for an attack.

Little did they know that this was exactly the effect Song Heping wanted.

There's nothing more convenient than being able to do your own thing under the CIA's guise.

It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

The CIA's banner is a good way to cover up one's own misfortune.

Soon, they arrived at District 6.

As Gardner said, other areas are surrounded by barbed wire walls, while this area is an independent campus with high walls. There are circles of iron spikes hanging on the walls, and high-voltage warning signs on them. There are watchtowers on the four corners of the wall. Prison guards are on duty in the towers with rifles, overlooking the entire prison.

From this point of view, Garnard was not bragging. District 6 was a country within the entire prison.

At the entrance, the two went through the same security check process as before at the main gate. Song Heping noticed that the security check here was stricter than at the outside gate.

Song Heping kept every detail in mind.

Suddenly, he brought up another topic: "How did the dwarf escape from you before?"

Garnard was in high spirits when Song Heping opened up his old scars, and his old face immediately turned red.

"That's a loophole..."

After the awkward explanation, he briefly recounted Joaquin's previous prison escape.

In fact, it was very simple. Last time, Joaquin bribed some guards inside, then hid in the truck that came to transport dirty clothes, covered himself with clothes, and swaggered out of the gate.

"But we've closed that loophole," Garnard said confidently, not forgetting to make amends. "To prevent this from happening again, our guards now mask their faces while on duty, and identity checks are extremely strict, requiring a clean record. Furthermore, all logistical services for District 6 are no longer outsourced, but are now handled directly by prisoners from other districts. Aside from food being delivered and garbage being taken out, nothing leaves the prison. We use small trash cans, which are loaded separately into the garbage trucks. No one can hide in them."

"Not bad……"

Song Heping nodded and gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad, it seems that I really can't escape this time."

After entering the main building of the prison, Garnard continued to introduce the situation inside.

The wall is more than one meter thick and is made of concrete and bricks, making it as solid as a rock.

Also, the amount of time allowed for exercise is no more than two hours a day. Inmates like Joaquin and Barlotte are only allowed one hour, and that's in a separate yard. They have no contact with other prisoners, and even the guards are not allowed to have any conversations with them outside of work management...

Joaquin was locked up in a cell at the innermost part of the prison, and Song Heping saw the familiar figure from afar.

The dwarf was now facing away from the cell door. His figure could be seen through the iron bars. Even in the cell, his feet were still shackled.

It seems that Mexico's newly elected president is determined not to let him escape this time.

"Deputy Warden, I request that he be taken to the exercise room. I want to talk to him alone."

"alone?!"

Garnard was stunned.

"That's right, let's talk privately." Song Heping said, "The CIA has some questions they want to ask him, and these matters involve confidential information. If you want to obtain the content of this conversation, you can have your officials contact the US government personally."

Garnard looked a little embarrassed, then said, "Then I need to ask my superiors. I can't make the decision on this matter."

"Okay, then go ahead and contact me. I'll wait for your reply."

Song Heping was not worried at all, so please feel free to do as you please, Garnard.
