Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The possibility that someone has planted a listening device in your home is actually quite serious.

Upon hearing the news, An Xiaohai recalled almost everything he had done at home since his release from prison.

Fortunately, because most things needed to be kept from Chen Shuifen, An Xiaohai rarely talked about these things at home, and after Kunji and the others moved out, he talked about them even less.

As for who planted the bug in the house, An Xiaohai judged that the most likely culprit was the demon 073 mentioned. At least Haiyaozi could be ruled out first, otherwise the grass on his grave could be playing hide-and-seek by now.

073's statement itself contains a lot of information, and when you add the information hidden in the statement, it becomes even more significant.

Based on yesterday's conversation, An Xiaohai can confirm at least a few things:

Firstly, the devil is indeed very interested in me; otherwise, he wouldn't go to such lengths to do so. Some people may think that eavesdropping is an easy thing, but in reality, it is extremely energy-consuming.

In a 24-hour day, there might only be a few useful sentences, or for many days in a row, there might not be any useful information at all. But the eavesdropper can't relax for a moment.

Even if it's not real-time monitoring, listening to all those recordings carefully is still a very time-consuming task. If you're not careful, you might miss some important information. Is it worth it for the devil to do this?

From this, we can deduce some deeper information: the reason why 073 contacted him, besides warning him not to act recklessly, may also be closely related to this.

Secondly, there must be some connection between the Pig Dragon and the Demon, otherwise 073 wouldn't have given such a warning so soon after the Pig Dragon pointed the finger at him.

This judgment echoes the first point: the devil doesn't care about dealing with others, so even if he knew, it wouldn't have any impact.

But once he turned his attention to the Pig Dragon, the demon would no longer remain indifferent, which is why 073 gave him this hint.

However, it's somewhat intriguing that this happened to 073. Logically speaking, according to 073's principles, he shouldn't have offered a reminder, but he did.

If the house has been wiretapped for some time, the wiretaper should be able to determine that An Xiaohai is in contact with 073 if they are observant enough. If the wiretapping was indeed orchestrated by the devil, then the devil should already know about it.

073 knew that his home might be being bugged, and that the bugger was likely the devil, but he pretended not to know and never warned himself until he pointed the finger at Pig Dragon.

You're eavesdropping, I know you're eavesdropping, you know I know you're eavesdropping, and then you and I both pretend we don't know! What does that mean?

Third, Kunji should not be a member of the demons, or at least not deeply involved with them; otherwise, 073 would have issued a warning long ago.

This is good news.

The fourth thing, and the most intriguing, is that 073 doesn't seem too worried about his safety; he cares, but he's not concerned.

An Xiaohai felt that even if his plan succeeded and dealt a fatal blow to Zhu Polong, the demon might not necessarily do anything to him.

What kind of logic is this?

"Could it be that 073 wants to use me to force that demon out?... This is damn complicated!... And what's with that demon? He wouldn't be willing to pay such a high price to recruit me, would he?"

An Xiaohai was completely baffled.

If there are indeed listening devices in the house, finding them is not too difficult.

In this era, there were no high-performance batteries. To achieve the purpose of long-term eavesdropping, the eavesdropping device had to be connected to a circuit, and it even needed to be connected to a memory device with a wire.

Real-time monitoring is probably impossible; An Xiaohai simply doesn't believe he has that much value.

This listening system most likely involves recording audio first, and then someone periodically retrieves the recordings and monitors the system.

Based on this analysis, An Xiaohai estimated that the bugging device was either hidden in the lighting system or in the socket, and more likely in the socket.

Light bulbs are relatively easy to break. If you hide it inside a light bulb, you might find it when you change the bulb if the bulb breaks. Therefore, it is more likely to be hidden inside an electrical outlet.

Of course, it's also possible that it's hidden in a very secluded corner and controlled by a separate circuit.

"Damn it... this is so annoying!"

This is really uncomfortable!

If there really was a bugging device in the house, An Xiaohai couldn't even use it to mislead Zhu Polong, because doing so would expose everything.

The devil can accept that 073 guessed the existence of the bug, but if An Xiaohai also knew about the existence of the bug, the situation would be different.

"I wonder if there were any listening devices installed in my old house... Oh well, things are what they are now, and there's no need to dwell on it if I can't figure it out right now. Let it go, maybe the answer will just come out someday..."

Pan Zhuangzhuang went off excitedly to set up the trap. Given his cunning and wicked nature, if anyone dares to come here to install listening devices again, they'll most likely suffer a great loss.

As for what the demons might think, it doesn't matter. An Xiaohai has quite a few enemies now, so it's normal for him to take precautions in his place of residence.

"Damn it, I'm not going to think about these things anymore..."

An Xiaohai shook his head, as if trying to banish all these annoying emotions from his mind.

After watching the surveillance footage for a while and confirming that the system was running without any problems, An Xiaohai switched the signal and sent the surveillance signal to the recorder.

There's no need to keep an eye on it all the time; just observe it periodically.

An Xiaohai opened Tian Qiaoguang's database and displayed the prison guards' information page by page on the screen.

As always, write down all the information first, and then analyze it whenever you have free time.

Tian Qiaoguang entered a lot of information into the database, including not only the files of all the personnel in the First Prison, but also many people outside the First Prison.

An Xiaohai didn't care about that and went through everyone's information.

After finishing all this, An Xiaohai suddenly realized that the sun was already high in the sky. Looking at his watch, it was already past 10 o'clock. An Xiaohai knew he should rest, but at this moment, he was not sleepy at all.

This is very abnormal; it indicates that his body is in a state of abnormal excitement.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, the phone rang. It was Da Xian calling. An Xiaohai answered the phone, and Da Xian told him that the police had notified them to come and collect the remains of Guo Xiangshui's family the next day.

The immortal called An Xiaohai to discuss having Guo Fang return to preside over the funeral.

The remains of Guo Xiangshui and his family will be kept in the mourning hall in Haiwei Village for a few days before being sent back to their hometown for burial. Although cremation is now encouraged, Da Xian and his family certainly won't care about that.

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaohai crossed his arms and thought for a while, mainly considering how to make use of this situation.

Even if it can't be used to deal with Zhu Polong, at least we should take this opportunity to try and find out where Guo Xiangshui's Cherokees went.

An Xiaohai paid special attention to Guo Xiangshui's cars because he felt that the money in these cars might not belong to Guo Xiangshui alone; some of it might belong to Haiyaozi, and the proportion might not be small.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that the car disappeared immediately after Guo Xiangshui's family was killed.

While it's possible that the person guarding the vehicles stole the money, it's more likely that the money in those vehicles originally belonged to Haiyaozi's slush fund, and Guo Xiangshui was the one guarding it.

With Guo Xiangshui dead, Haiyaozi naturally retrieved the vehicles and moved them away.

It should be like this.

Thinking of this, An Xiaohai called Ah Huo and told him the news and his thoughts. Ah Huo was silent for a while after listening, and then arranged a time to meet with An Xiaohai.

After Da Xian and the others take the remains of Guo Xiangshui's family back, An Xiaohai will go with Ah Huo to take Guo Fang back.

An Xiaohai had just finished talking to Ah Huo and hadn't even hung up the phone when another call came in.

It was Mai Xiaoyu, and An Xiaohai quickly answered the phone.

"Mr. Chen, the DNA matching results you requested are in. How do you like them? Should I tell you the results over the phone, or should I have someone deliver them to He Xiaohu so you can pick them up yourself?"

Tell me the result first.

"The result showed that one of the two samples matched the submitted sample, confirming that they are direct relatives."

"Okay, I understand," An Xiaohai said, taking a deep breath. "But I still need this report; I want the original. By the way, do you have a fax machine? If so, you can fax it to me."

"Oh, Mr. Chen is even using a fax machine now!"

"I recently got internet and a phone, so I just got a fax machine too, and I didn't expect it to actually come in handy."

"Sure, I'll fax it to you. Just give me the number."

An Xiaohai gave Mai Xiaoyu the phone number, and Mai Xiaoyu hung up the phone.

"No, I have to go check it out..." An Xiaohai stood up, went out, and walked towards Kunji and the others.

The fax machine was right next to Lai Donglin. As soon as Mai Xiaoyu's fax came in, Lai Donglin saw it immediately. If Kunji had been there at that time, he would have seen it too.

An Xiaohai was afraid that Kunji might not be able to accept it in time and might do something foolish, so he had to go and see.

Just as An Xiaohai reached the outside of their courtyard, he heard Kunji wailing loudly coming from inside the house. An Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in his tracks.

Cry, just let it all out.
