The key to the whole thing is Tommy.

Now that he has agreed to testify, that guy Ermo will have no chance of getting away with it.

To this end, Rosen specially hired a dozen lawyers to form a legal team, whose main strategy was to use random punches to defeat the master.

As a result, the case of the banker murdering his wife was brought up again.

As much as people hated Andy back then, thinking he was insane and cold-blooded, they hate Irmo just as much now, with some even calling for him to be put on the electric chair.

Andy was very happy when he learned that he had a chance to get out.

But he soon realized that he had oversimplified the matter.

Before Irmo was retried, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and accidentally fell into the toilet and drowned.

Even though no one believed this statement, he died after all.

As a result, whether he had killed Andy's wife and lover before became a confusing matter.

Because he did not leave any confession record.

The only evidence that he did it was the confession of Tommy, a criminal and former roommate.

But without Ermo's personal confession and his death, the matter was of course left unresolved.

After all, we cannot let the person die unjustly, and we certainly cannot accuse the person of death unjustly.

Andy, who had just felt the joy of proving his innocence and leaving Shawshank Prison with honor, felt his heart turn cold again.

What made him even more heartbroken was that Warden Norton called him to his office and said gloomily, "Andy, I don't know what your relationship is with that Rosen, or what kind of deal you two had in private that would allow him to help you at such a high price."

“But it’s all over now.”

He raised his finger, poked Andy's chest hard and said, "You, Andy Dufresne, will not be able to go anywhere now or in the future. You can only serve your sentence obediently in my Shawshank Prison."

"Why?" Andy said angrily, "You know I'm innocent."

"So what if you are innocent? You are just a prisoner now after all."

Andy is obviously not tall, but now when I look at him, I feel like I am looking down on him.

He smiled sarcastically and said, "Do you know why Ermo died?"

Andy looked at him and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Because he deserves to die." Norton looked at Andy through the lens and said, "You are very important now. You are related to the vital interests of all the police officers in the prison system. Letting you leave will harm everyone's interests. If Ermo really speaks, no one will have a good time."

"So you killed him?" Andy said angrily.

"He was just careless." Norton said calmly. "This is also a warning to you. Just do your job and don't think too much. Once you enter here, you will never get out until you are 70 or 80 years old."

"I won't do your accounting anymore." Andy said through gritted teeth.

"No, you will." Norton said, shouting outside: "Andy bumped into the warden and refused to obey discipline. He was sent to solitary confinement for a week."

"Yes." Haley walked in, grabbed Andy and dragged him out.

Being in solitary confinement is not a pleasant experience, especially when one's inner hopes are dashed and one feels increasingly lonely and desperate staying alone in the dark solitary confinement room.

The fact that Andy did not go crazy, commit suicide, or hurt himself is enough to show how strong his mind was.

When Rosen heard about this, Andy had already ended his confinement, but he might not have fully recovered yet. He looked a little down and his eyes no longer had the hopeful gleam they had before.

"Andy, I'm sorry I can't help you." Rosen said.

"No, Mr. Rosen, you have helped me a lot." Andy shook his head and said, "Maybe this is my destiny."

"Why believe in fate?" Rosen said calmly, "If you really want to leave, there will always be a way."

As he spoke, Rosen looked at Andy and whispered, "If the formal channels don't work, you can try other methods. You need to be more open-minded and bolder."

"Can you help me?" Andy asked.

"Of course." Rosen nodded and said, "What's important is that you have made up your mind. As long as you are willing to come out, at worst you can just change your identity and live a new life. I can help you."

"No, I have a new identity." Andy smiled faintly. "But before that, I have some important things to do."

After the two discussed the approximate time and steps, Rosen said goodbye and left.

From today onwards, Rosen will not appear for a long time to prevent anyone from suspecting Andy if he really escapes from prison in the future.

Andy also began to prepare for the prison break.

He already had the fake identity, which was originally used to take the blame, but now it just served as a new identity for him.

The reason why he refused to leave was that he wanted to collect evidence of the warden's crime and trick him severely.

This was certainly not a difficult problem for him, the "personal accountant" responsible for keeping accounts for the warden.

However, because of the previous friction, he still needs to be honest for a while to paralyze Norton and wait until he relaxes his vigilance.

Fortunately, what Shawshank Prison lacks the least is time, and Andy is very patient now.

One day, Andy and Red were sitting and chatting on the edge of the playground when someone hurried over to tell them that something had happened to Old Bob.

It turns out that Old Bull is about to be released on parole, but he is not willing to leave Shawshank Prison, so he wants to do something to get out and stay.

Andy persuaded him to put down the knife, but he couldn't stop him.

When Old Bu released the crow he had raised since it was a child, he watched it spread its wings and fly high, his cloudy old eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.

Because he has no idea what his future life will be like.

"Old Bob, if you encounter any difficulties after you get out, maybe you can try to find him." Before seeing Old Bob off, Andy gave him a piece of paper with a string of phone numbers written on it.

Old Bu stuffed the paper into his pocket, waved to everyone and left.

When everyone was sitting together and chatting, they talked about Old Bu again.

Red said he was not crazy, but was institutionalized because he had been in Shawshank Prison for too long and had gotten used to everything there, and was at a loss as to what to do with the outside world.

"He's been in prison for 50 years, 50 years, and now he's become a frog in a well."

"He was educated and had status in prison, but when he was released he was a cripple. The prisoner with arthritis in his hands was refused to borrow books from the library."

"Prison is a strange place. At first you hate it, then you get used to it, and then after a while you can't live without it. This is called institutionalization."

Andy sat aside without saying anything, but he had already made up his mind not to stay any longer.
