Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

An Xiaohai wanted to laugh, but he held it in; it wouldn't be appropriate.

Having spent 20 years in prison, An Xiaohai knew all too well that this was just an interrogation technique.

In another life, An Xiaohai would panic and try his best to distance himself from the Liu Jun incident, which would have played right into the other party's trap.

If you answered like that, Liu Cong's second question would be: "You were unconscious at the time, how could you know what happened in the cell?"

This time, An Xiaohai's emotions didn't even falter.

"Report, I fell by myself," An Xiaohai said in an unusually calm tone.

Sure enough, Liu Cong frowned deeply upon hearing this answer: "I wasn't asking about your own affairs, I was asking about Liu Jun's affairs!"

"What does Liu Jun have to do with me? I'm not familiar with him, and whatever he does is none of my business."

Liu Cong and Sun Li exchanged a glance, both of them able to clearly sense the doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Don't you know what happened to Liu Jun?"

"Report, I don't know," An Xiaohai shook his head. "You see, I fell pretty badly and passed out immediately. I don't even know how I got here, so how would I know about other people's affairs?"

"An Xiaohai, I advise you to behave yourself! You think a fall can cause such serious injury? Do you think everyone is stupid?" Sun Li's tone became very stern, but it still had no effect on An Xiaohai.

"Report, I did fall on my own. As for why it was so bad, I don't know. Maybe the food wasn't good and I'm calcium deficient?"

"You..." Sun Li was speechless.

"Our meals are provided strictly according to government standards. If you have any complaints, you can raise them. But we came here this time to understand the situation of Liu Jun's case."

If you know anything, you must tell the truth. Telling the truth will be considered a meritorious act. If we find out ourselves, you won't get such a good deal!

Liu Cong said, enunciating each word clearly.

"I really don't know what Liu Jun did. I'm not familiar with him at all."

"Alright then, you have a few more days. You can come to me anytime you've thought it through," Liu Cong said, clearly still unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about An Xiaohai.

They had already read the doctor's report. An Xiaohai not only had two broken ribs, but also a fracture in his right hand. Under such circumstances, it was indeed somewhat unbelievable that he was the one who stabbed Liu Jun.

Liu Cong and the others had already questioned the other inmates repeatedly, but everyone insisted that they didn't do it and didn't know who did it.

The prime suspect is An Xiaohai, because the injuries on An Xiaohai's body were inflicted by Liu Junqian, a fact that Liu Junqian himself confessed to.

Liu Jun said he beat An Xiaohai up badly and then threw him next to the toilet.

In terms of motivation, An Xiaohai's motivation was the strongest, but his physical condition did not support him in doing such a thing.

"Could it be that he broke his own hand bones after stabbing Liu Jun?"

Liu Cong had also considered this question, but ultimately dismissed the idea. This was too ruthless; it went beyond the bounds of normalcy.

Liu Cong had learned a lot about An Xiaohai and felt very sorry for him. A top student from the National University of Defense Technology had ended up like this because he accidentally killed someone, and his life was ruined. It was truly regrettable.

Judging from An Xiaohai's behavior in the past day or two since he went to prison, he couldn't possibly be such a ruthless person.

Liu Cong found it difficult to remain calm when facing An Xiaohai, and even felt a little guilty towards him, since he had been bullied like this in the prison cell, and Liu Cong felt that he also bore some responsibility.

"Okay, that's all for today. Take your time to think it over. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any ideas, or if you encounter any difficulties or problems. Understand?"

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Liu Cong stood up.

"Report, understood. Thank you!" An Xiaohai nodded, a faint smile always on his face. A smiling child is bound to have good luck.

Liu Cong turned and left. Sun Li glanced at An Xiaohai and silently followed. Just as they reached the door, Liu Cong turned back:

"Your mother and a female student surnamed Lin have applied to visit you in prison. Would you like to see them?"

"Yes, I'm willing," An Xiaohai nodded. "But I only want to see Lin Xuan'er, and I don't want to see my mother for the time being. Please tell my mother that I'm in a bad mood right now, and ask her to come visit me again in a month."

Are you afraid she'll see you like this?

"Yes, I don't want to hurt her. She's already hurt enough."

"If you don't want to upset your mother, you shouldn't have come here!" Liu Cong was slightly agitated, but he quickly suppressed it: "Okay, I'll tell her."

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he and Sun Li left.

An Xiaohai let out a deep breath; he had temporarily passed the second hurdle.

What should we do next?

An Xiaohai closed his eyes again, his brain racing.

It is virtually impossible to get a reduced sentence or escape legal punishment.

In another life, An Xiaohai's family, including his two best childhood friends, all met such a tragic end. This was not just caused by fate; there must have been an unseen hand controlling everything behind the scenes!

Who would do this to me?!

The answer doesn't seem hard to find; it's most likely related to the person An Xiaohai accidentally killed.

However, it's too difficult for An Xiaohai to find the answer under the current circumstances; it's only possible after he gets out.

"Will I be able to get out smoothly?" An Xiaohai's face was ashen. Compared to them, the other party's power was simply too great; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to accomplish all of that!

With such powerful and terrifying eyes watching him from behind, it would be almost impossible for An Xiaohai to overturn the case.

Does he have to obediently serve the full ten years in prison?

No, that's impossible too!

Given the immense power of the other party, An Xiaohai's desire to serve his ten-year sentence peacefully is nothing but wishful thinking!

In another life, An Xiaohai had already humbled himself to the dust, but the persecution from both the open and the covert never stopped, so much so that he spent a full twenty years in this dark and hopeless prison!

"Why are they so determined to kill me? There must be some secret I don't know about!"

An Xiaohai took a deep breath, forcing himself not to recall the details of the accident. Thinking about it now was useless; the most urgent thing was to get out of his current predicament.

Judging from An Xiaohai's injuries, he can stay in the infirmary for about ten days. After ten days, he will return to that cell.

Liu Jun is definitely not coming back, but Wu Guanhai is still there.

Liu Jun's targeting came out of nowhere, and there must be someone behind it. The real boss in that cell is Wu Guanhai.

Therefore, it is very likely that the other party contacted Wu Guanhai. Otherwise, Wu Guanhai would not have provided Liu Jun with the murder weapon, let alone admitted that the toothbrush was his afterward.

This is important: the toothbrush was for Wu Guanhai's self-defense. At worst, it would just be a charge of possessing a weapon, which wouldn't add much time to his sentence.

In this case, Liu Jun stabbing An Xiaohai would only be an accident. If the toothbrush belonged to Liu Jun, then his crime would be much more serious. The sentencing standards for manslaughter in the heat of the moment and premeditated persecution are completely different.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Liu Jun did this under Wu Guanhai's instructions.

Since the other party took such a big risk to do it, they have no reason to stop. Liu Jun has failed, that's his own problem, and Wu Guanhai will likely still not give up.

If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

An Xiaohai understood very well that if he didn't get rid of Wu Guanhai, this hidden danger, he would eventually fall into that endless abyss again!
