Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Liu Cong only looked away long after Xia Qing had disappeared at the end of the corridor. He tiptoed to the door of An Xiaohai's detention cell and cautiously looked inside.

An Xiaohai returned to his previous state, resting his elbows on the armrests of the restraint chair, quietly thinking about something.

Liu Cong tiptoed back, opened the door to the detention cell next door, and slipped inside.

The detention cell was much larger. In addition to the iron cages and restraint chairs used to hold prisoners, there were also tables and chairs for the police. On the table was a lunchbox containing wontons that Liu Cong had specially brought for An Xiaohai.

Liu Cong's departure from the First Prison was actually related to An Xiaohai.

When Liu Cong was in the First Prison, he felt that there was a miscarriage of justice in An Xiaohai's case, and he tried to find out more about it.

Based on the case file, Liu Cong believed that the punishment for An Xiaohai was clearly too severe. In addition, Liu Cong had a clear feeling that someone wanted to harm An Xiaohai, which further deepened his sympathy for An Xiaohai.

But his sympathy was of no use. As a lowly prison guard, Liu Cong could not change anything, and this deep sense of powerlessness continued to torment him.

Having worked at the Public Security Bureau for some time, Liu Cong hadn't directly participated in any cases, but every day a steady stream of people were brought to the Public Security Bureau. After seeing all sorts of criminals, An Xiaohai became increasingly unique.

After these past few days of events, Liu Cong became increasingly certain that An Xiaohai had a very close relationship with the police. He also vaguely guessed the identity of the woman who was knocked to the ground by An Xiaohai in the lobby today.

Furthermore, given that Wang Tiejun instinctively stepped in front of An Xiaohai, the right and wrong were quite clear.

Liu Cong overheard some of Xia Qing and An Xiaohai's conversation. He didn't mean to eavesdrop; he just happened to witness it when he brought food to An Xiaohai.

Although we couldn't see Xia Qing's expression when she spoke to An Xiaohai, it was easy to tell from her tone that Xia Qing had great respect for An Xiaohai, and even a little bit of admiration for him.

Xia Qing was the goddess in the hearts of all the male colleagues in the Public Security Bureau. She was usually cold and aloof to everyone, so it was unexpected that she was so gentle when she was talking to An Xiaohai.

"What exactly is this operation? Or did An Xiaohai send Xia Qing to participate?" Liu Cong was very curious, but he also knew very well that it was best not to inquire about this matter.

After letting out a sigh, Liu Cong sat down in the chair, opened the lunchbox in front of him, and found that the wontons were already a little cold.

Liu Cong let out a soft breath, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Although he had already eaten dinner and was quite full, he knew he couldn't waste food.

There was some noise in the lobby of the police station.

Kunji and Lai Donglin had already arrived, and the two were insisting on seeing An Xiaohai. In addition to the police officers on duty, Xia Qing was also there to greet them.

Xia Jing overheard An Xiaohai calling Kunji and Lai Donglin, and naturally stopped them from meeting with An Xiaohai.

While arguing with the police officer on duty, Kunji kept glancing at Xia Qing, his hostility clearly visible in his eyes.

This policewoman is quite pretty! Will she steal your wife's boyfriend? ...

Lai Donglin appeared very quiet, but whenever Kunji was silent, he would argue with the police officer on duty, which annoyed the officer to no end.

Before long, the entrance to the Public Security Bureau became lively, with groups of flamboyantly dressed young people gathering from all directions, their numbers increasing as they approached the gate!

Fortunately, these young people were relatively well-behaved and no one made a loud noise. However, there were just too many people, and gradually the noise grew louder. The police station's security guard was extremely nervous and kept talking on his walkie-talkie.

drip~

A car horn sounded from behind the crowd; Zhou Zhengguo and his group had returned.

The crowd automatically parted, making way for Ali, who was standing in the crowd. He even made a gesture of invitation. This guy was wearing a suit today and looked quite respectable.

"What are you all doing gathered here?!" Cao Yingying asked, sticking her head out of the car window with a furrowed brow.

"Hello, Captain Cao!" Ali bowed to Cao Yingying. "We are Brother Hai's underlings. We heard that our boss is in jail, so we came to wait for him."

"Brother Hai? You guys are An Xiaohai's underlings?" Cao Yingying frowned even more. Ali, dressed in a suit, looked really awkward.

"Yes, my name is Peng Li, this is Mr. Wang Bulai, and this is Mr. Xie Dan!" Ali introduced with a smile.

Wang Bulai, who was being introduced, was speechless, while Xie Dan's eyes practically rolled to the sky.

……

Cao Yingying was equally exasperated; this Peng Li was a bit strange!

"An Xiaohai has been detained. There's no point in you waiting here. Just leave!" Cao Yingying said impatiently.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain Cao. We just wanted to wait for Brother Hai here. Is that... illegal?"

"..."

"Captain Cao, look, we've all been following the rules. We didn't even bring any weapons, and we haven't caused any trouble. We just want to wait here for the boss. Don't worry, we'll behave ourselves!"

"Alright, alright! If you want to wait here, then wait!"

But I'm warning you, this is the police station. You better watch yourselves and don't cause any trouble, or I won't care whose henchmen you are, I'll arrest you!

Stand back a bit, don't block the main entrance!

"Alright! Captain Cao, please wait a moment! This is my business card, please accept it!" Ali took out a business card and handed it over with a smile.

I'll gladly accept your big idiot...

Cao Yingying was on the verge of a breakdown, but she couldn't bring herself to hit someone who was smiling at her. She thought that An Xiaohai's underling might have some mental issues.

Forget it!

Cao Yingying gritted her teeth and took the business card. Then she urged the driver to drive the car into the police station compound and park it. Even after Cao Yingying walked into the main hall, she could still see Ali standing there waving at them.

"Director Zhou, Tie Jun, what's wrong with you two? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Cao Yingying nudged Wang Tiejun beside her with her elbow. Ever since they arrived at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau and saw the huge crowd of people, the two of them hadn't uttered a single word.

"I'm wondering... what exactly is An Xiaohai trying to do?" Wang Tiejun sighed softly and said, "Director Zhou..."

"I've been thinking about this too!" Zhou Zhengguo muttered to himself, looking worriedly at the crowd at the door. "These people must have been called by An Xiaohai. He's not doing this out of boredom, but what is his purpose?...

"Yes, why did he do that?" Wang Tiejun nodded repeatedly, then glanced back at Kunji and Lai Donglin sitting in the hall: "He voluntarily requested to be detained, and all his men have been summoned to the police station. What are they trying to do?"

"Wait! Tie Jun, what did you just say?" Zhou Zhengguo asked, startled.

"I didn't say anything... Oh, I mean, why did An Xiaohai call almost all of his underlings here?"

"Director Zhou, Captain Cao, look, you know Kunji and Lai Donglin, they're sitting right here; and those guys at the door, they must be his underlings from Baoshan District, aren't they all here!"

"Ah... I know, this is bad!" Zhou Zhengguo exclaimed in alarm, taking out his phone and dialing.

The phone was busy, and Zhou Zhengguo's face grew increasingly anxious. He immediately dialed another number, but it was busy again!

"Director Zhou, what's wrong?... "

"Something's going to happen! Something's really going to happen!"

An Xiaohai voluntarily requested his detention, and now he's brought all his men here. There's only one possible reason: he's trying to create an unassailable alibi!

"What?! Director Zhou, you mean..." Wang Tiejun's pupils shrank sharply, and he finally realized what was happening.

"What kind of riddle are you playing?" Cao Yingying was a little frightened. Zhou Zhengguo was always very composed, and Cao Yingying had never seen him so anxious.

Before Zhou Zhengguo could answer, his phone rang. Zhou Zhengguo immediately pressed the call button. After listening to the call for a while, Zhou Zhengguo closed his eyes, his face full of pain, and even his body was swaying slightly!

Wang Tiejun was startled and, together with Cao Ying, quickly helped Zhou Zhengguo up.

"Director Zhou, what's wrong? What happened?"

"A major accident has occurred! Cheng Zhongjin and his family were involved in an accident on their way back to Haixi Province. Their car went out of control, crashed through the guardrail, and plunged off a cliff. It has now been confirmed that all four members of the family—the three of them and the driver—have perished!"

"What?!"
