My Transformed System is Toxic

Chapter 378 The Truth
"The food in the cafeteria is a bit salty today."

"I'm still a little thirsty."

The woman who said she was thirsty was named Liu Xihua. Since she was imprisoned, she had always blamed Shi Lan for her husband's death, and she always held great resentment.

The two people not far away didn't seem to have heard Shi Lan's words, they were still sitting by the bed, talking to themselves.

Apparently, Shi Lan's attitude of not caring about them recently made them a lot more courageous.

"Thirsty……"

Shi Lan's eyes darkened, she glanced at Song Run, and walked towards the bed.

Liu Xihua sat on the edge of the bed with his back to Shi Lan, and suddenly found that his companion's face turned pale.

"how……"

Before she could finish asking, a strong force had already grabbed her short hair and dragged her into the bathroom, followed by her head being firmly pushed into the toilet.

Shi Lan pressed down the lid, stepped on Liu Xihua who was about to get up, and immediately pressed the flush button.

wow——

"Ugh-"

"Doo-doo-doo-"

"what sound?"

The prison guard not far away heard the movement, walked over, and asked with a frown.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm helping people wash their faces."

Song Run giggled and blocked the bars.

"Be quiet, others have to rest."

"understand!"

Liu Xihua's companion shrank obediently by the bed, listening to the movement from the bathroom, his face was pale, obviously he had no intention of extending a helping hand to Liu Xihua.

In the washroom, Shi Lan pressed the flush button more than a dozen times before slowly lowering her legs.

Liu Xihua raised his body and sat down on the ground, his face flushed. After a series of violent coughs, he gagged again and again, but he couldn't vomit anything.

"Still thirsty?"

Shi Lan squatted down, looked at the woman in front of her in a mess, her eyes didn't fluctuate at all.

"No...not thirsty anymore!"

Liu Xihua shook his head frantically, backed away again and again, his flushed face turned pale instantly, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Then... now answer my question."

"Just now... what were you laughing at?"

The night is still long...

In the early morning of the next day, Song Run helped the two of them take sick leave for two days.

.........

Qi Pingxia was shot to death while chasing down a group of drug dealers.

But Shi Lan had a vague premonition that the cause of Qi Pingxia's death was inseparable from what she had been investigating during her lifetime.

There is too little news that can be obtained in prison, even if Shi Lan wants to do something, he can only wait to be released from prison.

Some restless thoughts were buried in her heart, Shi Lan could only vent out her more depressed mood through other channels.

……

In a blink of an eye, the cold winter passed, spring and summer alternated, and Shi Lan's sentence was about to expire.

The day when he was released from prison came soon, Song Run specially asked for half a day's leave, did not go to work, and saw Shi Lan off.

"Don't come back again."

At the time of parting, Song Run suddenly didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time to squeeze out such a sentence.

No matter how she teases Shi Lan, in fact, in her eyes, Shi Lan is still just a child, her life has just started, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

Shi Lan stepped forward, hugged Song Run, turned her head, glanced at the cell where she had been in for a year, and strode away without the slightest nostalgia.

Seeing Shi Lan's back gradually drifting away, Song Run turned around, looked at the prison guard not far away, and smiled.

"There's another empty bed here, little girl, just stuff it in my place!"

……

The clothes I wore before I went to prison have been cleaned and neatly placed in the bathroom.

Shi Lan washed away her bad luck, changed into clothes that were a little smaller, and stepped out of the black iron gate.

"Don't come back again."

When passing the gate, some familiar words sounded again.

The grey-haired guard handed some scattered items to Shi Lan, and then slowly walked back to the guard's room.

A silver coupe stopped not far from the door, and Zhang Guang, who had gained a lot of weight, leaned on the car and waved at Shi Lan.

"Hey, the food in the prison is good, and I've grown up."

In one year, Shi Lan has grown a few centimeters, already exceeding 1.6 meters, but still far from 1.7 meters.

After getting into the car, Zhang Guang took out a portfolio and handed it to Shi Lan.

"This is your ID card. If you don't have an ID card, you have to do it yourself."

Shi Lan took the file bag and opened it, inside was a pile of information about her, her household registration had also been completed, and her hometown address was written in Yunhai City.

"This has been done for more than half a year. I originally wanted to wait for you to come out and pick it up by yourself. Later, Officer Qi... I ran over to get it out for you."

Zhang Guang put on his seat belt with some difficulty, stopped this topic, and said with a smile:

"What do you want to eat? Brother will take you to a big meal!"

"No need, Brother Guang."

Shi Lan shook her head, clenched the file bag in her hand, and said softly:

"Please take me to a place, I have to find someone first."

"Okay, what do you say?"

……

More than an hour later, the silver coupe stopped at the door of a bar.

During the day, the door of the bar was ajar, and it hadn't opened yet.

"Who are you looking for here?"

Zhang Guang was a little confused for a while.

"Brother Guang, please wait for me for a while."

After finishing speaking, Shi Lan opened the door and got out of the car, and walked straight into the bar.

Zhang Guang scratched his head, subconsciously took out his pocket, wanted to touch a cigarette, but found nothing.

……

The lights in the bar were not turned on, and the light was a little dim.

Not long after leaving, Shi Lan was stopped by a waiter.

"Hi, sorry, it's not business hours yet."

"I'm looking for Hao Fei."

"you are?"

Hearing Hao Fei's name, the waiter became more respectful.

"My name is Shi Lan."

"please wait."

The waiter hurried away.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Lan saw Hao Fei crouched on an office chair in the office on the top floor of the bar.

The reason why we meet here is because Shi Lan received a message from Hao Fei when he was in prison.

"Little girl, I'm a happy person. I admit that I have to bear a large part of the responsibility for involving you in the later results. Here I apologize to you."

Hao Fei opened the drawer, took out a check, signed it, crossed a cross at the position of "million", and pushed it in front of Shi Lan.

"You can fill in as much as you like, this is my apology."

Shi Lan didn't refuse, took the check, put it in his pocket, and said: "I have something else, I want to ask you for help."

"You say, as long as I can do it."

"Help me find out the cause of Qi Pingxia's death. It's best to know who the murderer is."

Hearing this sentence, Hao Fei frowned, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression:

"Little girl, let me advise you, take the money and live a comfortable life for two days, don't wade into the muddy water here, it's not something you can manage."

"Don't get me wrong, although Officer Qi sent me in, I have nothing against her. She is a good person, and I, Hao Fei, admire her, but this world is very complicated, and there are some things that she can't control, so That's what happens."

"As much as you are capable, you can be as careful as you are. If you go too far, you can only burn yourself."
