C165 Chapter 165

After the announcer on the TV screen finished introducing the last word of the news, Faang Xuan's face suddenly turned cold. That residential building, if he remembered correctly, was it the place where Ye Ying lived last night?

And the basement that was deliberately mentioned in the news was basically talking about Ye Ying's rented house.

"Could it be that something happened to Ye Ying?"

Faang Xuan's heart suddenly twitched when he thought of this. He could not let anything happen to that cute and kind girl.

Faang Xuan did not care about the delicious food on the table anymore. He grabbed the suitcase that contained the money and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

Faang Xuan, who had been focusing on the food on the table, heard the announcer mention an address. He immediately moved his gaze from the table to the television.

According to the news, three hours ago... At... A huge fire suddenly broke out in a residential building in a certain street in New Nederland. The building was mainly rented by some foreign international students. When they found out that the fire had started, they spontaneously formed a fire squad. When the firefighters arrived, the fire had already been controlled. However, a small room in the basement of the building had been burned beyond recognition.

According to the house owner's introduction, the tenant in the basement was a foreign female student from Huaxia. She usually went home to cook and eat at noon, but after careful inspection by the police, however, he did not find the foreign student's corpse in the basement.

"That's the basic situation. As for the next step of the news, this station's reporter is in the process of following it up. Whether this is an arson by human means or not, I believe that the police will soon unravel the mystery."

Seeing the last word of the news being introduced by the broadcaster on the television screen, Faang Xuan's face suddenly turned cold. That residential building, if he remembered correctly, was it the place where Ye Ying lived last night?

And the basement that was deliberately mentioned in the news was basically talking about Ye Ying's rented house.

"Could it be that something happened to Ye Ying?"

Faang Xuan's heart suddenly twitched when he thought of this. He could not let anything happen to that cute and kind girl.

Faang Xuan did not care about the delicious food on the table anymore. He grabbed the suitcase that contained the money and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

He went out and hailed a taxi. After spending double the price, he finally persuaded the black chatterbox driver to rush to Ye Ying's rented house at an extremely fast speed.

He got out of the car and went straight to the basement where the floor bed was last night. Before he even got close, a strong burnt smell came from the air.

The basement was not ventilated and only half a day had passed since the fire happened. The smoke had yet to completely dissipate.

When Faang Xuan came to the corridor outside the basement, he happened to meet the middle-aged white landlord who had appeared in the news.

"What are you doing? Do you want to rent a house? I'm sorry, this basement has already been rented out. And, young man, you saw it too. There's a small problem here. If you want to rent a room, let's go up and talk, okay? "

The landlord saw Faang Xuan's appearance and age and mistakenly thought that he was here to rent a room, so he was very enthusiastic and even wanted to bring him upstairs.

Faang Xuan took a deep breath and calmed down his anxious mood. He showed a kind smile and asked the landlord, "Hello, I am not here to rent a room. I am..."

"Not to rent a house? Then why are you here?"

The landlord was very realistic. Before Faang Xuan could finish his words, he pulled his face down immediately. He pulled his arms as if he was driving people out. Speaking of which, he really did not have a good impression of these yellow-skinned kids who all looked the same.

Faang Xuan frowned. He instinctively wanted to get angry, but when his temper flared up, he forcefully suppressed it.

The corner of his mouth trembled. He took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket. He put it in front of the white landlord and said calmly, "I am a classmate of this tenant. I want to ask you a few questions. If you are satisfied, the bill is yours. "

"You ask, you ask, hehehe..." Seeing the money, the landlord's expression immediately changed. He looked like a smiling old man and did not look like a snob at all.

Faang Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. This silly guy changed his attitude faster than flipping a book. If he did not become an actor, he would really be buried.

"One, did the girl who lived in the basement come back at noon? ___ asked. Second, before the fire broke out, did anyone come to look for her?"

"She came back. Hehe, I did! I can guarantee that... Hey, as for whether anyone came to look for her before the fire, I'm not sure about that, young man, you know... Although I'm the owner of this house, I don't come to this place often. "

The middle-aged landlord was really straightforward. He directly answered Faang Xuan's question, although it was a little vague.

Hearing the landlord say this, Faang Xuan's brows knitted even tighter. On the way here, he had deliberately observed that there was no dry wood in this place. There was no gas or gas, and the air was very humid. If there was a fire up there, it wouldn't be able to reach here. The only explanation was... This wasn't a natural fire, but a man-made one.0

"What right do you have to guarantee that the girl came back at noon?"

"Hey, young man, today is the day of rent collection. I met her at the door outside when I came in at noon. How could I not see it with my own eyes? But the group of patrolmen who grew up eating sh * t actually said that they didn't find her corpse here. This is a bit strange. There was no fire escape route here. How did this girl escape? Could it be that she has already been burned to ashes? "

The landlord frowned. The first half of his sentence was to answer Faang Xuan's question, but the second half was to guess himself.

Faang Xuan's heart sank to the bottom. He threw the hundred-dollar bill on the landlord's face, and without looking at the landlord, he slipped out of the basement.

Although he did not get any reliable information, he was certain that the arson was more than fifty percent related to Ye Ying.

Otherwise, the fire would not have burned to the basement that was filled with moldy air.

"Who exactly wanted to harm her?"

Faang Xuan frowned and began to think.

He had only met Ye Ying once and could not be considered a close friend. However, after a short period of contact, he could feel the kindness and cuteness of the girl. For such a person, even if he became enemies with others, it would not be to the point of life and death.

"Cover? This huge fire wants to hide some things? For example... "

Suddenly, Faang Xuan was shocked. A light flashed in his mind. He seemed to have caught something.

"Killing and arson? Hiding traces?"

Faang Xuan naturally wanted to kill people in his previous life. As assassins, what they needed to know was not only about killing. He had to do the necessary cleaning up work, and the fastest and most effective way to wipe away all traces. The only way to do so was to set fire, set fire to the ground, and then set fire to it. All of them would turn to ashes.

Since the patrolling officer claimed that he did not find the corpse, then Ye Ying was definitely taken away and not killed.

The person who took her away, in order to not leave any traces behind, simply burned down the basement. That was why the fire on the entire building was not big, but the basement was burned the most seriously.

"Could it be that the black hooligan who broke his leg last night did it?"

Since a girl's nature was kind, she would most likely not have an irresolvable hatred with others. There was only one answer. The hooligan who teased her last night was not willing to be taught a lesson by me, so he pulled someone over and forcefully snatched the girl away.

As an assassin in his previous life, Faang Xuan had also come into contact with quite a few people from the underworld. Generally speaking, the lower the society, the more difficult it was to deal with the gangsters, and the more daring they were. He did not care about the consequences of doing anything, and it was all on a whim. Wherever they wanted to, they would do whatever they wanted.

He had broken one of the hoodlums' legs last night. How could he swallow such an irreconcilable grudge in the eyes of Gu Bewilderment, who cared about his reputation and loyalty?

Furthermore, Ye Ying's performance at the subway station was probably not one or two days. That hooligan might have been plotting against her a long time ago, so it was reasonable that he could find her residence.

"It must be like this." Faang Xuan clenched his fist and heavily hit his other palm. His eyes flashed with killing intent. If anything happened to Ye Ying, he would not mind a massacre in New Nederland.

Since he was sure it was done by those gangsters, Faang Xuan naturally had a way to find them.
