Chapter 59

Two years ago, that is, 2020.

Noon on May 14.

The Donghai City Bureau received an operational order from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps.

The gang they had been tracking was conducting a transaction at the Donghai Grand Hotel.

Thus, the entire Donghai City Bureau mobilized, cooperating with the provincial special forces, and headed to the scene.

At that time, Zhao Mengmeng and Si Shiya were also among them.

The police operation was absolutely confidential.

Until all units had deployed and hidden properly near the hotel, no sirens were sounded.

So, no one expected it.

This operation had actually been completely mastered by the enemy!

It was learned afterward that after the enemy had infiltrated the hotel three weeks prior, they had installed private surveillance near the hotel.

But a group of desperate men, relying on their own firepower.

Actually chose to strike first and clash head-on with the police!

Bandits who treated human life as grass first shot and killed a woman in front of the hotel who was frantically evacuating, as a warning.

One shot hit the head; she died on the spot.

The little girl nearby was immediately scared stiff.

But at that time, that little girl was already completely controlled within their field of view.

If she dared to run, she would also be shot dead.

But standing still in place would make her a living target!

On the police side, they only knew the bullets were fired from some window on the hotel's front, yet still could not determine which window.

Without being able to determine it, they could not provide covering fire.

Without covering fire, they could not rescue, even though she was right before their eyes.

Everyone wanted to rush up and take that child away.

But everyone also knew.

If they did this, they would play exactly into the bandits' hands.

The enemy did not care at all about killing one more person or one less; the enemy simply wanted to warn the police through this insane behavior: their hostages were everywhere!

If they dared to kill one person casually now, then they would dare to kill another person rushing up again.

But almost at the same moment.

A female police officer rushed out.

Her speed was agile, swift as a fleeing rabbit.

She rushed up and knocked the little girl down to the ground in one move.

She rolled several times on the spot.

The second shot rang out almost at the same time.

Because of her subsequent movement, the second shot missed.

The police had already been able to determine this was a sniper rifle.

There must be an interval between one shot and the next!

That was the opportunity!

That female police officer, holding the child, did not choose to run back but instead directly hid behind a car in the parking lot on the side.

She protected that trembling, pitiful child until the special forces broke through the windows from the hotel roof, the bandits' attention inside the hotel was diverted, and gunshots erupted everywhere.

Zhao Mengmeng could never forget Si Shiya that day.

After the special forces began their assault, under the police's cover, Si Shiya ran back holding the little girl.

Seeing her unharmed, Zhao Mengmeng was truly afraid, angry, and happy, rushing up to scold her as a reckless little girl.

As a result, Si Shiya directly threw herself into Zhao Mengmeng's arms.

Her face pale, blood flowing on her body; at that time, no one knew where the wound was.

To this day, Si Shiya has been dead for over two years.

That gang of bandits from two years ago was extremely vicious; because they were engaged in the drug trade, which is least tolerable by law, they knew they would definitely receive the death penalty if caught, so they were willing to go down fighting.

But that was still just a small branch under a huge, and possibly even international, gang behind the scenes.

And two years have passed.

Until now, the police still cannot ascertain.

How Si Shiya was shot that day.

The one who shot at her was not the sniper rifle that killed that child's mother at the time.

It was, another cold gun hidden in the darkness!

46. It has been a full two years; originally, you had long since drawn a prison around yourself.

And at this moment.

The photo Zhao Mengmeng saw.

In the photo, the gun mounted on the hotel window, the man wearing gray-green clothes.

His location was not the front of the hotel.

It was the side.

And the side faced directly onto the hotel's parking lot.

That is to say, two years ago, Si Shiya, in order to save that child, held the child and hid behind a car in the parking lot.

The spot where she had hidden.

She had clutched that child tightly against her chest.

But the direction her back faced.

Happened to be, right within the full field of vision of that man in gray-green clothes!

The bullet had entered from her back.

The one who fired at her was this very assassin.

In an instant.

Zhao Mengmeng's brain nearly exploded.

Ning Chen...

How, from where, did he obtain such a photo??

For a full two years, the police had not a single clue.

And now, this photo in Ning Chen's hand.

Directly pinpointed that assassin!

Although, at that time, the assassin had turned his face toward another direction.

But, at least, from now on, they finally knew it was this person who, at that time, fired at Si Shiya!

Ning Chen...

You...

Hid from all of us...

What exactly were you doing??

What exactly were you doing???

This photo!

This assassin!

You have been hiding from all of us, searching for this assassin?

Two years...

It has already been a full two years!

You looked perfectly normal!

You decided to go traveling!

You had even started working as a travel streamer!
