The only real prison is fear, and the only true freedom is freedom from fear. Aung San Suu Kyi

Fengyun Women's Prison has long been turned off, in a cell, a woman is lying on the bed, staring at a pair of bright eyes, looking at the ceiling overhead, the inmates around her have already fallen asleep, some are snoring slightly, some are talking inaudible dream words in their dreams, and some are grinding their teeth, the night that should have been quiet, with these sounds one after another, people can not sleep for a long time.

In the dark night, I couldn't see the woman's expression clearly, only her sparkling eyes, shining in the dark night.

The woman is none other than Tan Yanxue.

Tomorrow is the day she will be released from prison, for those who have been in prison for a long time, this is undoubtedly good news, and Tan Yanxue has been breaking her fingers since the beginning of this year, counting the time when she was released from prison, for people who have lived in prison, they are prosperous and rich, and they are in a high position, there is actually no use here, they only have one identity here, that is, prisoners, no one cares what you did before you went to prison, whether the family has money, a few companies under your name, a few mansions, a few sports cars, how many luxury goods, How many spare tire boyfriends, how many suitors.

Maybe having money, fame, and status is not a good thing here, although you can live a little better here with money, after all, the family has money, you can eat and use some very good things, but in the face of those prisoners who are more fierce than themselves, in addition to compromise, how can they live in prison, the biggest dream is actually to get out early and be free, after all, no one wants to stay in one place for the rest of their lives and wait for death, watching the same scenery day after day.

Tan Yanxue has been in prison for twelve years, she is very eager to be free, she was still thinking about what to do after she went out some time ago, whether to travel abroad first, or drive a luxury car, go out with those sisters in the past, go shopping, or stay at home and sleep well, however, after seeing the man with white hair and not looking like a policeman at all, Tan Yanxue's heart became a little panicked.

Punisher, this name, Tan Yanxue has heard of, and knows more or less, although this person only appeared after she was imprisoned, but just hearing the few people killed by the punisher, she felt a little creepy, although she has lived in prison for twelve years, and her figure and appearance have changed a lot, but she is still alive, and when the sentence expires, she can go out, and her figure can change back if she is out of shape, and her appearance can also be, after all, she has money in her family, and no matter how expensive cosmetics can be bought, It's really not good, you can still have plastic surgery, there are so many plastic surgery hospitals now, it's not easy to be young and beautiful, however, the man told himself an unfortunate news.

Eight years ago, the Punisher who appeared in the city died, but now, a new Punisher has appeared, and he has already killed two people, and he is the next one.

Death may be really easy, but everyone is afraid of death, especially people like Tan Yanxue, who experienced the situation that they might face the death penalty, and who has been in prison for 12 years, cherishes their lives even more, she doesn't want to die, and she is not willing to die.

When Xu Lang told Tan Yanxue that the punisher appeared, and the next target was herself, Tan Yanxue was skeptical, in her opinion, the car accident in twelve years was indeed her own responsibility, but she had already compensated the deceased a large sum of money, and she also spent her best youth in this prison, she thought that she had been punished, and no one cared about herself, the prisoner who was about to be released from prison, after all, twelve years had passed.

However, when a good friend came to visit her, after telling the city about the two recent murders, Tan Yanxue, who was suspicious, completely believed the man's words, she became uneasy, panicked, and overwhelmed, she was originally looking forward to getting out of prison, at this moment, in her opinion, she was not out of prison, but about to enter the ghost gate, so, after returning to the prison today, in the face of the congratulations and congratulations of her fellow inmates, she just smiled and responded with a few words. Most of the time I was staring at the ceiling that had been there for twelve years.

"I don't want to die, I can't die, my life is about to begin, how can I die"

Tan Yanxue thought in her heart, yes, she wants to live more than death, and she wants to live more than most people, but she will be released from prison tomorrow, will she fall in front of the punisher the next moment she walks out of prison Tan Yanxue doesn't know.

"Otherwise, I'll be out of jail, stay here again, and I'll get out after the police catch that damn punisher."

When this thought only appeared in Tan Yanxue's mind, she shook her head with a wry smile.

Just kidding, the prison is not her home, she can live as long as she wants, even if she wants to, the prison is not willing, let alone agreeing, and she herself doesn't want to stay in this damn place anymore, twelve years ago, she just graduated from college, and she didn't have time to display her talents, just because of a drunk driving, she was imprisoned, wasting a woman's most precious and beautiful years here, these years, Tan Yanxue didn't dare to look in the mirror, she didn't want to see the one in the mirror who had no neck and was full of fat, A woman with a disfigured figure, she can't face the crow's feet that shouldn't be on her face.

For the first twenty-two years, she lived in fine clothes and food, and for the last twelve years, she lived in the prison, the farthest place was the place where the prison was released, where she could look at the sky outside, and the sky was still incomplete

It was cut off by the high fence and the dense barbed wire.

This year, I am thirty-four years old, and in another month, it will be my thirty-fifth birthday, yes, I am already thirty-five, if, I am not in prison but outside, it is estimated that my children have already gone to junior high school, and now, I have not been in real love, although, when I was in college, I talked about my boyfriend, but it was just fun, curious, I don't want to stay in this place, I want to go out, and I will never come back here.

However, if you go out, you may die, and Tan Yanxue doesn't want to choose between death and continuing to stay here, however, what should she do

Tan Yanxue looked at the ceiling, caught in a tangle, tears involuntarily burst out of her eyes, thinking about it, she began to sob softly.

Time will not stop passing because of Tan Yanxue's entanglement, and the night will not permanently envelop this world because of Tan Yanxue.

"Jingle Bell"

As the familiar wake-up bell rang, Tan Yanxue knew that it was dawn, and those sleeping inmates woke up from their sleep one after another, began to get dressed and got up, lined up and started to wash, and Tan Yanxue was still lying upright on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

Her eyes were bloodshot and dark bags appeared under her eyelids, and it was clear that she hadn't slept all night.

After the inmates finished washing one after another, they all looked at Tan Yanxue who was still lying on the bed curiously, they were very curious, what happened to Tan Yanxue today, she was about to be released from prison today, they were all very envious of Tan Yanxue, being out of prison means freedom, everyone who stays here is eager to be free, for Tan Yanxue, they can't talk about liking or hating, after all, this woman has been here for twelve years, and it is her duty to behave in the world, and she has not taken the initiative to provoke anyone, since, she does not take the initiative to cause trouble, They will not deliberately go to her for trouble, and every time Tan Yanxue's relatives come to see her, they will bring her a lot of food, and Tan Yanxue is not a stingy person, she will take the initiative to give them some every time, even if she was jealous of this woman's beauty at the beginning, she can't hate it anymore as time goes by.

One of the cellmates, who usually had a good relationship with Tan Yanxue, thought that Tan Yanxue was sick, so he walked to her bed, stretched out his hand and touched Tan Yanxue's forehead, and found that it was not hot, so he asked, "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"

Tan Yanxue still stared at the ceiling, shook her head slightly, and didn't say a word.

"You're going to be released from prison today, why don't you get up and pack up," the cellmate asked again.

Tan Yanxue still shook her head and didn't say a word.

The cellmate asked a few more words, and seeing that Tan Yanxue still didn't speak, she didn't ask anything, and left the prison with the remaining inmates to have breakfast.

Before leaving, the inmate who had already walked to the door stopped, turned his head, looked at Tan Yanxue who looked like a lying corpse, and asked, "Do I want to bring you breakfast?"

Tan Yanxue still shook her head and stared at the ceiling.

Seeing this, the cellmates didn't say anything, and followed the army to the cafeteria to eat.

After the inmates left, the prison discipline came, and when she saw Tan Yanxue still lying on the bed, she asked, "Tan Yanxue, why don't you go to the cafeteria to eat?"

"I can't eat it." Tan Yanxue said in a hoarse voice.

The discipline frowned, looked at Tan Yanxue, and said, "I can't eat it."

Immediately, she thought that today was the day Tan Yanxue was released from prison, so she said, "Oh, I remembered, you can be released from prison today, you must not be used to eating prison food, you want to go out to eat delicious, right?"

Hearing the discipline say this, Tan Yanxue shook her head, she slowly got up from the bed, looked at the discipline, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Is the person who came to me yesterday really a policeman?"

The discipline was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, nodded, and said, "Yes, his name is Xu Lang, and he is the boss of a newly established criminal investigation department in the city, what's wrong?"

"I heard that Xu Lang is very good at solving the case, right?" Tan Yanxue asked again.

The discipline looked at Tan Yanxue and became more and more confused, she didn't understand why Tan Yanxue asked this, and what Xu Lang came to Tan Yanxue for yesterday, she didn't know, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, known as the city, even the detective of H Province, all the cases that pass through his hands, there is nothing that can't be solved, what are you asking for, do you know Xu Lang?"

Tan Yanxue shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know." ”

"I don't know, so what do you ask these for?"

Tan Yanxue was silent, yes, what are you doing when you ask about this, but when she thought that her fate might be in the hands of that man, after a sleepless night and thoughtful consideration, she looked at the discipline and prayed, "Can you help me contact him, just say I'm looking for him." ”

Hearing Tan Yanxue say this, the discipline rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Tan Yanxue, who do you think you are, Xu Lang is so busy, how can I have time to take care of you, do you think that just if you want to see him, those of us who have been in prison for a long time also want to see him, it's not that you can't see him, you save it." ”

"Sister Qiu, you help, you just need to help me contact Officer Xu and tell him, just say that Tan Yanxue agreed to his request, please make sure he guarantees my life, I don't want to die, woo woo"

Tan Yanxue cried as she spoke, which made Tan Yanxue think that Tan Yanxue was following herself

The discipline who had been joking was also stunned for a moment, especially when she heard that at the end, Tan Yanxue asked Xu Lang to guarantee her life safety, and for the discipline who had served here for more than ten years, she also noticed the seriousness of the matter for the first time.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll just help you get in touch."

After saying that, after locking the prison cell, the warden turned around and left to go to the office and called.

Hearing that the discipline was willing to help her, Tan Yanxue's hanging heart could finally relax a little, so she walked to the sink and began to wash.

After Xu Lang left Sun Shihao's house last night, he did not go home directly, but returned to CY, and carefully looked through the six car accident cases two years ago in the office, hoping to find some clues from them, but the result made Xu Lang disappointed, he did not find anything suspicious in these files.

After flipping through these files, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, Xu Lang originally planned to go home, but when he thought that Xiao Yueyue must be at Ning Yanran's house, and he would be alone when he went back, it was troublesome, so he slept on the sofa in the office.

Just when Xu Lang was sleeping in a daze, his mobile phone rang.

"Jingle Bell"

Xu Lang opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, and went to get his phone.

Just when Xu Lang was about to answer the phone, the phone was turned off, Xu Lang hurriedly pressed the power button, but a low power prompt appeared on the screen, Xu Lang remembered that last night, he forgot to charge the phone.

So, Xu Lang hurriedly stood up, walked behind the desk, and found the charger to charge the phone.

"Click."

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, Fan Yang walked in, looked at Xu Lang, who was charging his mobile phone, and said, "Brother Lang, phone, looking for you." ”

"Who called," Xu Lang asked casually.

"Fengyun Women's Prison."

Fan Yang looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression, she was also very curious, what did the women's prison call Xu Lang to do, and her tone seemed to be very anxious.

Hearing Fan Yang say this, Xu Lang hurriedly put down his phone, turned around and walked outside the office.

The phone didn't hang up, Xu Lang directly picked up the microphone and said, "Hey." ”

"Is it Officer Xu, I'm the supervisor of the No. 3 prison of Fengyun Women's Prison, my name is Qiu Menglu, I"

Xu Lang interrupted Qiu Menglu's words and asked directly, "Did Tan Yanxue ask you to find me?"

"yes, how do you know?"

Listening to the tone, it can be heard that Qiu Menglu was very surprised, and in addition to being surprised, she was also very glad of her decision.

"What did she say?" asked Xu Lang.

"She said she agreed to your request and asked you to keep her life safe."

"What else did she say?"

"Well, no."

"Okay, I see, Qiu Jiao, thank you."

After saying this, Xu Lang hung up the phone.

Fan Yang has been standing by Xu Lang's side, and after seeing Xu Lang hang up the phone, she let out a long breath, as if she had done something big, she asked curiously, "What's wrong, is there any new progress in the case?"

Xu Lang shook his head, picked up the phone, and dialed the phone in Du Ziqiao's office.

The phone was connected, and Xu Lang didn't wait for Du Ziqiao to speak, so he said directly, "Take someone to work immediately." ”

"Attendance has found Wang Wenruo and Shen Kaiwen," Du Ziqiao asked excitedly on the other end of the phone.

However, Xu Lang's answer shattered Du Ziqiao's speculation.

"It's not."

"Where to go?"

"Fengyun Women's Prison."

"What are you doing in a women's prison?"

"What's the matter, just take someone to attend."

After saying this, Xu Lang didn't care about Du Ziqiao's reaction on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone directly, turned around and went back to the office, and went to put on his shoes.

When Xu Lang came out of the office, he asked Fan Yang, "Is Lai Pi here?"

"Brother Lang, I'm here." Lai Pi said on the side.

After Xu Lang saw Lai Pi, he said to Lai Pi, "Go out with me." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang took Lai Pi and left CY, leaving Fan Yang with a confused face, watching their departing backs.

When Xu Lang was wearing his seat belt, Lai Pi asked curiously, "Brother Lang, where are we going?"

"Women's Prison."

"What are you doing in a women's prison?"

"Protect a person who is about to be released from prison."

"Ahh

Lai Pi was pulling his seat belt, and when he heard Xu Lang say this, he turned his head sharply and looked at Xu Lang with a stunned expression, obviously, he didn't expect that Xu Lang would pull himself out in such a hurry, that is, to go to the women's prison to protect the people released from prison.

"Who's to protect, it's worth such a stirring up, I'll just go alone." After being shocked, Lai Pi spoke.

Xu Lang shook his head, didn't say anything, and directly started the car and drove towards Fengyun Women's Prison.
