"Swimming, huh?" Sheng Yuanshuo thought Luo Jinhan's question was a bit silly. "I came with friends."
Luo Jinhan was speechless. These rich people have such big private pools at home, why do they come to the hotel pool to swim?
Well, it's none of his business what other people's hobbies are.
However, he had a question for Sheng Yuanshuo: "Young Master Sheng, was that in the pool or on the shore just now?"
Sheng Yuanshuo looked at him, then walked to the side with him and whispered, "Is this member of the Gong family very important?"
If it weren't important, why would Gong Chengjue send his special assistant? Besides, Gong Chengjue himself is coming over later.
Luo Jinhan knew that Sheng Yuanshuo and Gong Chengjue were good friends, but there were some things he couldn't reveal. He only said, "This person had a disagreement with Mr. Gong at the company earlier today."
Although they eventually reached an agreement, the people in the company only saw the beginning; nobody knew what would happen next.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuanshuo's expression turned somewhat serious.
"Young Master Sheng, you haven't answered my question yet," Luo Jinhan asked.
"I was just playing on my phone on the lounge chair." He then sent Luo Ziqi photos of the hotel, saying that if she wanted, he would book the whole place and the two of them could swim there.
The building is dozens of stories high, and the infinity pool offers a truly amazing view.
However, it was all just his enthusiasm; Luo Ziqi ignored him completely, and he was blocked on WeChat shortly after they added each other...
"If it's said to be drowning, were there any suspicious people around at the time?" Luo Jinhan asked again.
He didn't want to be completely clueless when Gong Chengjue arrived.
Then his special assistant is really useless.
Sheng Yuanshuo looked at him, "You suspect..."
"Mr. Gong is going through a turbulent time right now, so a little suspicion isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"What's the big deal? We can just check the surveillance footage," Sheng Yuanshuo said.
When Gong Chengjue arrived, the police had already taken away Gong Changmu's body, and the on-site evidence collection was also completed.
However, some specialists were still left behind to gather further evidence.
Based on the current scene, it appears that Gong Changmu did indeed pull his cane out and then drown in the deep end of the swimming area.
As for why no one noticed it in time?
First, there are already few people in the pool. Second, the people who come here aren't the gossipy types, so who would bother looking at the pool?
Thirdly, and most importantly, drowning people don't usually call for help; they simply stand upright...
However, the view from here is very beautiful. When Gong Changmu died, he was facing the view outside the pool. That is, even if someone saw him drowning, they would have thought he was in a good mood and was just looking at the night view outside.
“Mr. Gong.” Luo Jinhan had already finished watching the surveillance footage. Before Gong Chengjue spoke, he did not presume to say anything to the police.
Gong Chengjue glanced at Sheng Yuanshuo, who was wrapped in a bath towel next to Luo Jinhan, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"A coincidence." Sheng Yuanshuo pulled him aside, his expression serious. "Have you been having a lot of trouble lately?"
Gong Chengjue laughed when he heard this, "Since you met me, when haven't I ever troubled you?"
This... seems to make a lot of sense.
"Who is this Gong Changmu?" Sheng Yuanshuo asked.
Gong Chengjue had no intention of satisfying his gossip, saying, "He's just a cousin. If you have nothing else to do, go home first and don't get involved."
He felt that Gong Changming had gone a bit crazy, and who knew when he might go insane again, affecting anyone connected to him without any regard for the consequences.
"Is it that troublesome?" Sheng Yuanshuo sensed his friend's concern.
"Um."
"Then I'm leaving." Sheng Yuanshuo hummed in agreement, then patted his shoulder. "I just checked the surveillance footage, there were no suspicious individuals. There were only five or six people at the pool tonight. Including the staff, there were only about ten people."
Gong Chengjue simply hummed in response, his eyes fixed on the swimming pool.
Sheng Yuanshuo left.
Gong Chengjue walked towards the poolside, and Luo Jinhan followed beside him, whispering, "Mr. Gong, the surveillance footage is fine. The forensic doctor has preliminarily determined that Mr. Gong Changmu also drowned himself."
Surprised?
But isn't that too much of a coincidence?
Seeing that Gong Chengjue remained silent, Luo Jinhan continued in a low voice, "But regardless of whether Mr. Gong Changmu died in an accident or something else, Gong Changming will probably make a big fuss about it."
Isn't that right? Gong Changmu challenged the patriarch's authority during the day, and then drowned that very night.
Accident?
Yes, we know it was an accident, but will anyone believe it?
A cold glint appeared in Gong Chengjue's eyes. They wanted to use peacekeeping tactics, but Gong Changming was determined to provoke them to the end.
With Gong Changmu dead, all those in the Gong family who had shady dealings would feel insecure.
Even those who have no connection to Gong Changming, let alone those who are involved with him, would probably think that Gong Changfan, the head of the family, is a wolf in sheep's clothing after being frightened by Gong Changming.
On the surface, they say the matter is over, but what happens afterwards? Those who don't listen get caught in the crossfire.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Who knows if they'll be next?
"Mr. Gong?" Seeing that Gong Chengjue remained silent, Luo Jinhan felt that Gong Chengjue was extremely angry.
Because his face was really, really dark, just like the night.
“Continue the investigation.” Gong Chengjue looked at Luo Jinhan. “Find out who booked the room based on Gong Changmu’s intention to stay at this hotel.”
His hands clenched unconsciously. Did Gong Changming think that this would throw them off balance?
Oh.
…………………
The news that Gong Changmu died in the hotel pool spread to the ears of important members of the Gong family in no time.
Considering his reckless provocation of the family head's authority during the day, some people were thinking to themselves, "See? He's brought this upon himself."
Meanwhile, at the Gong family's old residence, more than a dozen important members of the Gong family had gathered. These people had all acknowledged Gong Chengjue as the next head of the family.
So, Gong Changfan, the current head of the family, is here, but they are all waiting for Gong Chengjue to return.
Finally, the sound of a car was heard, and the servant said, "Young Master Chengjue is back."
Gong Chengjue unfastened the cufflinks on his wrist, rolled them up, and walked towards the crowd.
Seeing his serious expression, Gong Changfan knew that the trip to the hotel had not gone smoothly.
Gong Chengjue didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "The forensic doctor has already issued an assessment, confirming that it was suicide by drowning."
Upon hearing this expected news, everyone fell silent.
The living room was as bright as day, but none of the dozen or so people uttered a sound. Gong Changfan scoffed, "They're trying to frame us."
Since Gong Changming turned against them, every move he made was deadly; he was ruthless and vicious.
However, they cannot retaliate in the same way; this is the biggest difference between right and wrong, black and white.
"This just shows that we've driven him to the point where he has no other options left," Gong Chengjue sneered.
Did Gong Changming think they would be like him?
How could someone on the side of justice fall for Miyako Nagaaki's tricks?
