Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 2354

"Like you said, Fifth Prison is where many mentally ill criminals are imprisoned. Perhaps that man is also mentally unstable, which was why he claimed that he was sane." Jonah wasn't too bothered. In a cold voice, he continued, "It's just like how drunk people would never admit that they've had too much to drink."

"There's a huge difference between the two," Alyssa interjected, drawing both Sean and Jonah's attention. "In fact, people with mental illness often believe everyone else is insane, while they are the only sane ones in the room."

Sean's eyes lit up. "That makes sense!"

Jonah nodded. "Yeah, that sounds right."

"According to what Sean described earlier, that man was very articulate and didn't seem like he was mentally ill. Moreover, he seized an opportune time to dash out before Mr. Steven. This suggests he had been waiting for the right moment, indicating he didn't want to miss his rare chance."

Alyssa then asked, "Sean, what did your brother do in the end?"

"Steven mentioned that the prison guards dragged that prisoner away before he could get a clear understanding of what was going on. The guards even claimed that the prisoner was absolutely insane. In short, he was more violent than the other prisoners."

A look of dismay came across Jonah's face. "That's strange. Since Mr. Steven was hired to provide legal assistance to prisoners, every prisoner has a right to consult with him and to have their questions answered. Why was that prisoner forcibly restrained?"

Alyssa lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Sean continued, "Afterward, Steven couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He used a contact from the courthouse to check the case files on that prisoner. But guess what? They couldn't access the files. It turns out they were only available with the Attorney General's approval!

"All other criminals' case files were accessible while his was the only one that couldn't be accessed. Not only that, it's being kept under strict control. Doesn't this sound really strange to you?"

After a moment of silence, Jonah asked, "What is that prisoner serving time for? This should be something that we can find out, at the very least."

"He's in prison for murder, and not the murder of just one person. According to the other inmates, his victims were two women, and his murders were quite gruesome and brutal.

"But Steven's description of the criminal was that he's not particularly tall, he looks thin and sallow, and he has a congenital disability in one of his legs. He really didn't look like a brutal murderer."
