Chapter 705: Bai Shanshan’s Death

The hotel that Bai Shanshan was staying at was Ai Jia Hotel in the county town. The hotel had called the police.

When Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu arrived at Ai Jia Hotel, they saw two police cars parked outside the hotel.

Gong Tianhao frowned, then made a phone call. After that, he walked into the hotel with Xiao Lingyu.

The entrance of the hotel was also surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

“I heard that there was a murder case here. A person died.”

“This hotel is really unlucky. With such a murder case, it will probably be closed for a few days.”

“However, I heard that the person who died didn’t commit suicide. She was killed!”

“What do you mean?”

“Who knows. The victim is a very beautiful woman.”

“Could she be a mistress and was killed because of that?” That was common in movies anyway.

“That’s very possible!”

…

When Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu arrived at Bai Shanshan’s room, a police cordon had already been set up outside the door.

Three police officers were checking the scene. One of them was talking to the cleaning lady who was the first to find the deceased.

Bai Shanshan was lying on the bed. She was wearing a white nightgown, and her chest was red as if she had been shot. Her face was pale, and her expression was one of terror. Her eyes were wide open. There was a large pool of blood on the bedsheet and the floor.

The moment they saw Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu, the police officer immediately stopped them and said, “Who are you? Unrelated people are not allowed to enter!”

Gong Tianhao said coldly, “I am Gong Tianhao! I need to go in now!”

The police officer said seriously, “I don’t care who you are. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter!”

At this moment, one of the officers received a call. As he answered the call, he looked towards the door.

After hanging up, he walked towards the door and asked Gong Tianhao, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Gong?”

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Then please come in!” The police officer called him in.

“Captain, who are they?” The police officer at the door asked curiously.

The captain immediately said seriously, “Just do your work!” The officer shut up! The officer understood from his captain’s reaction that Gong Tianhao was a powerful character.

Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu walked into the room. When they saw Bai Shanshan’s miserable state, their expressions did not change.

The two of them looked around and soon noticed that there was a piece of broken glass on the ground. There was also a small hole in the glass.

At this moment, the Criminal Investigation Team Leader came over and said, “We believe the woman was assassinated. It’s very likely that she was shot by a sniper. The sniper was in the tall building opposite.” He pointed at a nearby high-rise. “As for the exact location, we still need to investigate further.”

Gong Tianhao took a look and said directly, “It’s on the eighth floor, opposite the window!”

The hotel that Bai Shanshan booked was on the sixth floor. The assassin had to find the best location and the best angle. Gong Tianhao had been monitoring Bai Shanshan so he also knew the best angle to do that.

Gong Tianhao said, “Immediately send someone to the location that I mentioned. We will definitely find some traces there!”

The captain was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately made a call and arranged for a search.

After hanging up the phone, the captain said seriously, “What is the identity of this woman? Why would someone send a sniper to assassinate her? We need to do a detailed investigation.” The captain asked tentatively, “Mr. Gong, do you know the identity of this woman?”

Gong Tianhao came once he knew this woman was assassinated, so he must know something.

Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes shot at the captain, and then he said indifferently, “You should ask your superior and not me.”

The captain, “…”

The police officer guarding the door retorted sharply, “Sir, this is a serious matter. Are you planning to hinder the police investigation on purpose?”

The captain, “…”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

There were very few people who dared to speak to Gong Tianhao like that.

Gong Tianhao glanced at Bai Shanshan on the bed and said, “This woman’s name is Weng Jingjing. Her name should be registered with the hotel, right? Also, eleven years ago, we were classmates at Imperial University!” He didn’t elaborate.

The police wouldn’t find out more than that.

The captain said gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Gong!” They could set the direction of the investigation with this.

Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu stayed for a while and then quickly left.

When they came out, Gong Tianhao asked Xiao Lingyu worriedly, “How are you?” He was afraid that Xiao Lingyu would not be able to adapt to such a brutal scene.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I’m alright!” She had been through a lot in her previous life. This was nothing for her.

Gong Tianhao only relaxed when he confirmed that she was fine.

He hugged Xiao Lingyu and said regretfully, “I didn’t expect the scene to be so bloody. I shouldn’t have let you come.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, “No, I need to come with you. Tianhao, I need to be your equal, not your burden. I can’t be so useless.”

Gong Tianhao was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, “Okay, as your husband, I’ll support you!”

“Thank you, Hubby!” Xiao Lingyu said excitedly. Then, she said, “I saw some clues just now. Let’s go back and talk about it!”

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Okay. We will go back now!”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Won’t the police investigation be misdirected since they don’t know that Weng Jingjing is actually Bai Shanshan?”

Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “They won’t be allowed to investigate this case. Jiang Tao will arrange for another group of people to take over.” Originally, such a case could be said to be a small case, and Jiang Tao wouldn’t care about it. However, Jiang Tao would intervene since Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu were involved.

“Oh.” Xiao Lingyu nodded.

“Don’t fret over it. Let’s go back first.” Gong Tianhao smoothed the hair on her forehead and said with a doting smile.

When Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao returned to the gong family, Old Master Gong’s expression was slightly serious. He said, “Bai Shanshan was actually assassinated by a sniper.”

Gong Tianhao nodded, “Yes. This suggests that Bai Shanshan was assigned a mission to approach us. She lost her value when she failed her mission. Therefore, she was dealt with efficiently.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “That’s not right.”

Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong looked at Xiao Lingyu in confusion.

Xiao Lingyu said, “How did the person behind the scenes know that Bai Shanshan had failed the mission so soon?”

Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong were shocked. Old Master Gong guessed, “Could Bai Shanshan have reported it?”

“No!” Gong Tianhao denied it without thinking. “Bai Shanshan knows very well the consequences of failing the mission, so she wouldn’t be so foolish as to tell them that the mission failed.

“This also explains why Bai Shanshan was pale with dread when she returned to the hotel. She knew that she would be killed once she failed her mission. She wouldn’t be able to escape either.”

At this moment, Xiao Lingyu guessed again, “Tianhao, is it possible that they inserted some kind of bug in Bai Shanshan when they changed her face?”

“This is not good then!”
