The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1899: Investigating Together

Ye Shikai firmly believed that Tianjing surely held "fatal information" about the other party, which was why the other party took such a huge risk to kill him for silencing. Otherwise, who would dare to attempt to kill Tianjing in Yanjing?

Speaking of which, Tianjing’s death is truly regrettable. Although the dead are considered great, and despite having had conflicts due to certain matters, Ye Shikai and Tianjing had collaborated far more often than they had clashed. Moreover, Tianjing was regarded as an upright person, always prioritizing the safety of Huaxia. His death is a significant loss to Huaxia and to Ye Shikai himself.

"I’ll go take a look at him."

"Alright."

Ye Shikai arrived at the morgue, but he could only look from outside through the glass as the forensic doctor was conducting the autopsy. Tianjing had made such great contributions that his body deserved proper care after death. Nonetheless, without an autopsy, no evidence could be obtained, which made this a helpless act. Ye Shikai went to the office, finding Jing Xie and the others there. Tianjing’s death would most likely be hardest for Jing Xie and his team, who were both teammates and comrades, sharing a bond akin to life and death.

"Mr. Ye..."

"Alright, everyone sit down." Ye Shikai gently waved his hand, while Shen Wu was still sobbing. Phoenix was softly comforting her, yet her face was also filled with gloom.

"Can you tell me what happened last night?" After some time, when everyone’s emotions had settled down somewhat, Ye Shikai finally asked.

"This... We don’t know. I remember the leader said he was going out, but didn’t mention the destination." Jing Xie was relatively rational, recalling the events of last night, but they seemed of little value.

"When did he go out?"

"It was very late, around eleven o’clock."

Ye Shikai slowly stood up and walked to the window, where it had inconveniently started to rain heavily outside, as if washing away the remaining scant evidence. The murderer was unknown, but Ye Shikai suspected that the one who killed Tianjing might be the mastermind behind the HST project. Even if it wasn’t him, he must have a close connection to this project.

"Let me ask you one question: Do you want to find the murderer and avenge Tianjing?" Ye Shikai suddenly turned around and sharply inquired.

"Of course, I wish I could find the murderer immediately and exact vengeance myself." Shen Wu spoke passionately.

"Yes, we must avenge Tianjing."

"Alright, since you want revenge, I’ll lend you a hand. Tianjing was considered my friend, and it’s likely he was silenced for having obtained important clues. So, whether publicly or privately, I’ll offer my full support." Ye Shikai firmly said.

"Yes, the leader likely found some clues." Jing Xie agreed, "We found nothing on the leader’s body, not even his phone or wallet. I believe the murderer took them."

"Alright, let’s not worry about the stolen clues for now. We should first look into what happened to Tianjing last night."

"Okay."

Half an hour later.

"Tianjing’s car has a dashcam, at least that wasn’t taken. With the dashcam, we can at least find out where he went." Ye Shikai took the dashcam from Tianjing’s car and played it on the computer. Jing Xie, following the route, located surveillance cameras along the way. Prior to arriving at the National Security Bureau, Ye Shikai only knew Tianjing had died in an alley behind a bar, but he hadn’t expected this bar to be none other than Dark Night Bar, Luo Shiqi’s domain.

The bar is a place for young people to relieve stress and becomes very "wild" at night. However, Ye Shikai was well aware that Dark Night Bar was not a place where any punk dares to cause trouble. The reason is simple: it’s Luo Shiqi’s domain. And just who is she? The queen of Yanjing’s underworld. Who dares to make trouble on her turf? The bar has ample security and cameras both inside and out. It could be said that it’s Yanjing’s biggest and most upscale bar, as well as its "safest." Yet, why was Tianjing killed here, and why did he, someone who never went to bars, suddenly end up there?

"Tianjing never goes to bars, let alone at eleven o’clock at night. Does anyone know what he was doing there?" Ye Shikai asked.

"No idea, he didn’t tell anyone." Jing Xie shook his head.

"Tianjing drove very fast." Ye Shikai said while watching the surveillance, casually analyzing. Any clue might reveal Tianjing’s mood at the time. Although he couldn’t see through the car’s glass, just by looking at the speed, he could deduce that Tianjing must have been extremely anxious then. Given this line of thought, Tianjing must have encountered something urgent, likely obtaining clues about the HST project. But Ye Shikai didn’t understand why Tianjing went to Dark Night Bar. Did he have to discuss important clues at the bar...?

"Jing Xie, continue investigating and ask if anyone knows why Tianjing went out last night. After questioning those inside, go ask the security personnel. In short, everyone needs to be asked."

"Phoenix, keep monitoring the HST project. I discussed with Tianjing earlier; other bases might be large factories consuming a lot of electricity."

"Shen Wu, urge the forensic doctors to complete the autopsy quickly, then proceed to the investigation team to simulate the situation during Tianjing’s murder."

"Alright."

"Okay."

"Mr. Ye, where are you headed?"

"I need to go to Dark Night Bar myself. Since Tianjing went there, I believe there must be a reason. I trust I can find some clues."

...............

On the way to the bar, Ye Shikai dialed a certain person’s phone number.

"Shiqi."

"What’s up?" A playful voice answered on the other end of the line.

"Do you know what happened last night?" Ye Shikai straightforwardly asked.

"What happened last night? I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy to know. You might as well say it directly."

"After eleven o’clock last night, a person died in the alley behind your Dark Night Bar. It was Tianjing from the National Security Bureau. Did you know?" Ye Shikai’s tone turned serious. Even though Tianjing died at Dark Night Bar, he believed Luo Shiqi had no connection to it. After all, Luo Shiqi had no motive and wouldn’t do something so reckless and foolish.

"My subordinates reported this to me, but I didn’t expect the deceased to be him." Luo Shiqi also sensed the gravity of the situation.

"Alright, if you have time now, quickly come to the bar. I’m on my way, and I have some questions for you."
