Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Listen up, all of you! You should all understand why I chose you to help, right?"

I won't say much else, but in short, after you get there, besides following the police's instructions, all of you must absolutely obey An Xiaohai's arrangements. Do exactly what he says!

This is very important. If I don't do it well, I'll be in trouble. And if I'm in trouble, none of you will have a good time!

We are in a relationship where we share both prosperity and adversity, do you understand what I mean?!

Yang Yuanbing said through gritted teeth, looking quite exasperated.

Although the prisoners didn't speak, they were all nodding. An Xiaohai glanced around and indeed found many familiar faces, most of whom had appeared in the programming group. Those who hadn't appeared before were probably in the same situation as the others.

Lai Donglin, Third Brother, and others were among them. Yang Yuanbing believed that these people were An Xiaohai's men and were equally trustworthy.

This time, Yang Yuanbing didn't care about anything else and revealed all his trump cards.

"Alright, go ahead, An Xiaohai. You know what to do, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll do my best."

"Okay, okay, I believe you, I trust you, go!"

After giving the instructions, Yang Yuanbing brought An Xiaohai and the others to the scene and handed them over to Cao Yingying's people. He himself did not leave but stood aside.

The criminal investigation team didn't hold back and immediately directed the prisoners to start cleaning up the various kinds of garbage at the scene. However, the prisoners' activity area was always controlled on the periphery, and no one could get close to the center of the explosion.

"Ah Hai, what exactly is going on?!" Third Brother asked in a low voice, extremely nervous.

Judging from An Xiaohai and Yang Yuanbing's reactions, the explosion was probably related to these two. Third Brother was a little panicked because he had gotten two packets of icing sugar for An Xiaohai before this!

Although even now, Third Brother still has no idea what role those two packets of icing sugar played, if the explosion was indeed orchestrated by An Xiaohai, then those two packets of icing sugar must have had an effect.

Third Brother's heart was in turmoil!

"Third Brother, don't ask anymore. Just do as the police tell you to do, but be sure to pay special attention to one thing."

"What is it?"

"lighter."

"lighter?"

"Yes, that lighter of mine, the one I always carry in my hand, if you see it, you must find a way to hide it."

"Holy crap! Didn't you find your lighter?" Third Brother was terrified.

"No, that's a different one. Third Brother, I'm only telling you this because I trust you; the others don't know. Tell everyone that no matter what suspicious things they find, they should try to hide them first."

Whether or not to hand it in is up to me.

"Okay, I understand! I understand!..." Third Brother nodded and gave An Xiaohai a deep look before secretly going to instruct the others.

A group of people worked for most of the day, but apart from clearing out a small area, they found nothing. The police did the same.

When An Xiaohai dragged his tired body back to cell number 27, he was surprised to find that Kunji had actually returned.

"Kunji, are you always this happy?"

"Of course!" Kunji nodded. "My mother said that life is short, like a fleeting season. Since we'll be dead for a long time after we die, we should be happy while we're alive."

"What your mother said is very philosophical."

"Of course! Hehe, the boss speaks differently, tsk tsk, so philosophical! Those words sound so sophisticated! Other people would just say: 'That makes sense!'"

Kunji made a very exaggerated thumbs-up gesture.

"You! Haha..." An Xiaohai's mood finally brightened.

The more An Xiaohai interacted with the prisoners, the more he discovered about their other sides. Every person is composed of many facets, making them incredibly complex individuals.

Gui Liu is a ruthless drug dealer, but he has an extraordinary passion for rock music and a deep understanding of it.

Guo Xiangshui is ostensibly a smuggler, but he is likely a member of the Sea Hawks gang behind the scenes. However, he is also a fiercely protective father.

Third Brother does everything, anything that makes money quickly, regardless of whether it's illegal or not. However, he is also a deep tea enthusiast with profound knowledge of tea tasting.

According to Kunji, he is a thief, but he is also an optimist who lives for the moment!

Sometimes, An Xiaohai even felt that he didn't live as wisely as Kunji.

Of course, Xu Tianyou left the deepest impression on An Xiaohai, but as soon as the image of this guy appeared in his mind, An Xiaohai forcibly banished him and began to shift his attention to other things.

This guy, just thinking about it gives me a headache!

While the prisoners rested, the police did not. Through the small iron bars, it was clear that the workshop area was brightly lit all night long.

The next day, when An Xiaohai and his team arrived at the scene, the police officers were still busy, having cleared even more area than they had the day before. Several officers were so exhausted that they fell asleep leaning against a wall.

Looking at the scene before him, An Xiaohai felt a mix of emotions.

There's a saying that there are still more good people than bad in this world.

An Xiaohai had already scoffed at this statement many years ago.

An Xiaohai couldn't be sure whether the police officers at the scene were good or bad, but their professionalism was still very admirable.

"Alai, Third Brother, let's change our approach today. Let's not focus all our attention on the scene. Try to keep an eye on the surrounding area."

The explosion was so violent, the lighter might not have been left at the scene. Try to feel around, understand?

Because Kunji was back, An Xiaohai asked him in detail what the situation was like at the scene when the explosion occurred. According to Kunji's description, when the first explosion occurred, the roof of the bathroom in the workshop area was blown off.

The lighter would likely be blown far away by the blast wave. While the police are still focused on the initial explosion site, they should pay more attention to the surrounding area.

"Understood, don't worry, leave it to us!" Third Brother had two big dark circles under his eyes, probably because he hadn't slept much all night.

Soon, the prisoners were assigned tasks. An Xiaohai and the other two focused their attention on the perimeter. Whether it was divine intervention or not, as the day was drawing to a close, Lai Donglin actually found the lighter.

When Lai Donglin handed the twisted lighter, which was almost unrecognizable, to An Xiaohai, An Xiaohai's anxiety immediately subsided.

Without any hesitation, An Xiaohai immediately found an opportunity to hand the lighter to Yang Yuanbing.

Yang Yuanbing was almost in tears. Heaven knows how he got through the past day or two!

Now that he had the goods and achieved his goal, Yang Yuanbing was too lazy to pretend anymore. He found an opportunity to leave the scene. He had to get rid of what he had in his hands as soon as possible to prevent any future troubles!

An Xiaohai and his group felt much more relaxed and were not as enthusiastic about their work as before.

Before dinner, the prisoners were given a rare opportunity to rest. They squatted in twos and threes, chatting quietly.

An Xiaohai wanted to use the toilet, so he reported it to the prison guard. However, all the toilets in the workshop area were full, so he had to be escorted to the cell block by the prison guard.

Watching An Xiaohai being led away by the prison guards, the man with brown glasses, who had been standing not far away, hummed an unknown tune and found Cao Yingying.

"Captain Cao, could you please send one of your comrades to assist me?"

Cao Yingying glanced at the man with brown glasses and assigned one of the police officers standing next to her to him. The man with brown glasses immediately left with the officer, heading in the same direction An Xiaohai had gone.

"Captain, who is this guy? He seems pretty arrogant." A police officer next to Cao Yingying asked.

Cao Yingying turned her gaze away from the brown-tinted glasses and glanced at the police officer: "Why are you asking this? Didn't I make it very clear to you before we came? This is one of our men, you can just ignore him."

"But he..."

"What 'but'? Don't you have a job? Why are you so curious?"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, I'll go get back to work!" The officer quickly slipped away. Although Cao Yingying was a woman, when she got angry, it was something most people couldn't handle!

Cao Yingying's gaze returned to the figure behind the man with the brown glasses.

"These guys are always so secretive, so annoying! ...But they've finally made some moves, has he discovered something?... "
