Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

During this period, An Xiaohai clearly sensed something unusual about the prison. This unusualness wasn't directed at anyone else, but rather at him.

The other prisoners in the prison seemed to avoid him, including Hu Jianming and Yang Bo. Unless absolutely necessary, the two of them would never say a word to An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai knew in his heart that this was most likely due to Xu Tianyou's influence.

"Hopefully, I can have some peace and quiet..."

An Xiaohai thought silently, but dared not relax at all. Xu Tianyou could indeed have a great deterrent effect on the underworld, but An Xiaohai was also very clear that his enemies did not all come from the underworld.

Therefore, we cannot let our guard down.

That night, An Xiaohai tossed and turned in bed for a long time without being able to fall asleep. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

"Prisoner An Xiaohai, get up right now, do you hear me? Get up immediately!"

The iron door of the cell was banged on, and the voice was clearly that of the young prison guard in charge of their cell.

An Xiaohai quickly scrambled to his feet and tidied his clothes.

"Come with me!" The prison guard opened the iron gate and nodded at An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai frowned slightly, not daring to ask what the reason was, and could only silently follow the prison guard to the interrogation area.

When the interrogation room door was opened, Wang Tiejun was sitting inside. He wasn't alone; a policewoman whose face was completely covered by a mask was sitting next to him.

An Xiaohai recognized her at a glance; this policewoman was Xia Qing, whom he had met once before and who was unbelievably beautiful.

Something's not right!

An Xiaohai glanced at the camera set up to the side. This time, the camera's red light was on, indicating that the camera was recording. This also meant that Wang Tiejun's meeting this time was not a private one, but a formal interrogation.

The young prison guard had An Xiaohai sit down in the interrogation chair, handcuffed him, saluted Wang Tiejun, and then left.

Wang Tiejun stared intently at An Xiaohai, remaining silent for a long time.

If Wang Tiejun didn't speak, An Xiaohai naturally wouldn't either. Besides, this was a formal interrogation with records, so he couldn't just open his mouth and say anything.

"Name."

"An Xiaohai."

"age."

"19 years old."

Xia Qing began the interrogation according to procedure, and her cold voice indeed created a strange sense of unease. Although An Xiaohai appeared calm on the surface, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

This is the second time An Xiaohai has experienced this situation. The first time was when he was just arrested and taken to the police station, and the police officers were questioning him about the assault. The second time is now.

An Xiaohai didn't have a deep impression of the first interrogation.

After understanding what had happened, the police officers at the police station did not punish him too harshly. After questioning him, they quickly removed his handcuffs and put him in the detention room.

In addition, An Xiaohai was in a dazed and confused state at that time. Everything had happened, yet it was as if nothing had ever happened.

This time, An Xiaohai felt particularly awkward.

"An Xiaohai, you need to tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Xu Tianyou?"

"What relationship could I possibly have with him? We're just prisoners in the same jail."

"Is it really that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"An Xiaohai, I urge you to tell the truth. If you and Xu Tianyou were just ordinary cellmates, why would he have someone set fire to your house?"

"What?!" An Xiaohai was shocked and instinctively tried to stand up, but the handcuffs held him firmly in place.

"An Xiaohai, don't get agitated."

Wang Tiejun finally spoke up: "Xu Tianyou's men burned down your house, not Pan Zhuangzhuang's, but this matter is too heinous and seriously affects the safety of people's lives and property."

So An Xiaohai, you need to tell the truth, what exactly is the conflict between you and Xu Tianyou? If you don't tell the truth, we can't help you.

An Xiaohai's heart was pounding. He had indeed lost his composure just now. He subconsciously thought that Xu Tianyou had burned down his family's current residence. Xu Tianyou had been there before and knew where his family lived.

It wasn't until Wang Tiejun said that An Xiaohai finally realized he had misunderstood.

Xu Tianyou definitely did this on purpose. Firstly, it confirmed that he had a grudge against An Xiaohai, and secondly, it helped An Xiaohai vent his anger.

After all, the house had already been compensated to Zhou Tie's family, and it was unknown whether anyone in Zhou Tie's family had been burned to death.

"An Xiaohai, what are you thinking about? Tell me!" Xia Qing's cool voice pulled An Xiaohai back to reality.

"How would I know? I just heard about this from you guys. I'm sorry, I'm a little confused!" An Xiaohai tried to maintain his composure, took several deep breaths, lowered his head, and covered his face with his hands.

Xia Qing glanced at Wang Tiejun beside her. After all, she had just graduated from school, and the scene in front of her was a bit hard for her to bear.

An Xiaohai's first impression on Xia Qing was that he was an overly composed peer, seemingly unbreakable by anything.

But at that moment, An Xiaohai's anxiety and hesitation were all too real.

Wang Tiejun remained noncommittal, and didn't even respond to Xia Qing's gaze. After An Xiaohai seemed to calm down a bit, he continued his questioning.

An Xiaohai, of course, wouldn't say anything, repeatedly claiming ignorance or inquiring about his family. Finally, Wang Tiejun grew impatient and ended the questioning.

"Xia, you can go out now. I have a few questions to ask him privately."

"Yes!" Xia Qing stood up and walked away as if fleeing.

After Xia Qing left, Wang Tiejun didn't say anything. He just stood up, walked to the camera, rewound the videotape, erased his last words, and then turned off the camera.

"An Xiaohai, being interrogated isn't a pleasant experience, is it?"

"It really hurts!" An Xiaohai said, letting out a long sigh.

"I know it's really painful!"

Wang Tiejun also let out a sigh of relief: "But An Xiaohai, you need to understand that arson is an extremely serious crime with extremely severe harm and extremely bad influence. Since the matter was caused by you, then interrogation of you is unavoidable!"

That's good. Hopefully, through this experience, you can learn a few lessons:

First, drug dealers like Xu Tianyou are utterly devoid of humanity.

Don't have any illusions about them. If you have any entanglement with him, I hope you can tell the truth. This is not a matter of opening up.

Just kidding.

Secondly, this incident also serves as a reminder to you, so that you can understand how ruthless and vicious the enemies you will face in the future will be!

So, do you still think it's perfectly reasonable for you to involve your two friends?

"I'm sorry, Captain Wang, my mind is still a mess right now. I need some time to calm down and think things through."

"Alright, take your time thinking about it. I'll be going now. Same as always, I'll have someone come and take you back in ten minutes."

I won't help you remove the handcuffs. I hope you take this opportunity to experience and remember this unpleasant feeling.

I don't want to one day have to interrogate you again like I am today, like I am interrogating a real criminal.

You're a smart person, so you'd better watch yourself!

"Captain Wang, what about my family...?"

"Don't worry, our people are protecting your family 24 hours a day."

"Thank you, Captain Wang."

"No need to thank me. Didn't you already say when we first met that I am a police officer and it is my duty to protect the lives and property of the people?"

I will not forget my duty.

Wang Tiejun left, patting An Xiaohai on the shoulder before he left.

An Xiaohai remained in the same position, burying his face in his hands.

The play must go on, and who knows if Wang Tiejun or someone else is still watching him from some unknown corner.

Damn it...

"Xu Tianyou, Xu Tianyou, thank you so much!"
