Chapter 262: Natural Disaster or Man-made Disaster?
Han Ye was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had misheard.
A few days ago, he was still in the same room with the family, and he ate at the humble dining table with his sister and brother.
Their voices and smiles are still in their hearts, why haven't they seen each other for a few days, and they have suddenly all died in the flames?
Han Ye asked again in disbelief: "You...... Who's dead?"
"The whole family died in the fire. The fifth uncle shook his head sadly, and said again, "The fire started suddenly, and it was late at night, everyone was asleep, and the family of three didn't have time to escape.
By the time the rest of the village woke up from their dreams by the fire, the fire had become too fierce to extinguish. I could only watch my family's house burn down. ”
Speaking of this, the fifth uncle sighed heavily: "It's a pity, it's a pity! That kid is so sensible and so filial, how could he be involved in such a disaster?"
Alas, if you want to blame, you can only blame God for having no eyes, their family is not good!
Seeing that the elixirs for the treatment of the disease have been prepared, the sixth child's illness will be cured immediately, and he will finally be able to live a good life, but there is such a thing......"
The fifth uncle's words were broken, he lit a cigarette, smoked silently, and covered his expression behind the cyan smoke.
At this time, Han Ye was finally convinced that the three members of the Dong family had indeed encountered an accident.
He couldn't help but fall silent, as if he had been poured a piece of lead into his heart, so depressed that it was difficult for him to breathe.
He had only been in contact with him for a short time, but the kind and strong image of the little girl was deeply imprinted in his mind.
He loved this little girl from the bottom of his heart, was very sympathetic to his father's tragic experience, and he sincerely wanted to reverse the fate of the family.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to give a precious spirit crystal, and did not hesitate to search for medicinal materials to refine the Three-Yuan Compound Bone Pill for his father.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as the elixir was refined, he heard such bad news!
Recalling those innocent and kind eyes, recalling her thin shoulders that carried the burden of the family, Han Ye first felt a heartache, and then his chest was filled with indescribable anger.
He is angry at the creation of people, angry at the injustice of heaven.
Why is the life of that family already so miserable, but they still have to bring such a huge disaster?
The anger burned like a flame in his chest and there was nowhere to vent, so he couldn't calm down, and could only walk around the room in frustration.
At this time, the fifth uncle took a deep breath of cigarette and muttered, "Poor, from birth to now, I didn't think that I would leave in a few days."
Alas, I didn't understand how her house would suddenly catch fire.
I heard that there has been a little rain in the village in the past two days, why is the fire in her house burning so big and fierce, it has all burned out in just one hour!"
His words were actually unconsciously talking to himself, but when it fell on Han Ye's ears, it was like a bolt of lightning, exploding in his ears and brain, turning all the doubts in his heart.
It rained? It burned out in an hour?
The family is extremely poor, the house is empty, and there are few decent pieces of furniture, how can it cause such a big fire?
The most likely thing to start a fire is the pile of firewood in the yard.
But since there has been a little rain in the village in the past two days, the dry firewood must have been damp, and it should burn very slowly, or even if it can't burn, how can it burn down the whole house in just one or two hours, leaving nothing behind?
The more Han Ye thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He suddenly thought of a possibility:
"Could someone have set it on purpose?"
When the fifth uncle heard him ask, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head like a merchant's drum:
"No way! Absolutely impossible! There are no such ruthless people in our village. There are not many people left in the village, the relationship between the families is quite good, and the family has never had a grudge against others, who will set fire to their house?
What's more, that child is very sensible, and the people in the village can't love her, so how can she be so ruthless?"
Han Ye was not as optimistic as Fifth Uncle.
The family was in a difficult situation and was kind to others, and it was impossible for anyone to have ambition and hostility towards the family.
But the problem was that he gave a spirit crystal before leaving.
For those who don't know the goods, that spirit crystal is a slightly more beautiful stone, and it is useless.
But for those who know the goods, that spirit crystal is an extremely rare treasure.
If you keep it for your own use, that spirit crystal can greatly improve the strength and realm of the cultivator, and if you can find a suitable buyer, then the spirit crystal can definitely be sold for a sky-high price!
And that number is enough to make most people in this world excited, and it can make many people become mad and do not hesitate to kill innocents!
Han Ye has experienced similar incidents more than once, and it can be said that he has a very deep understanding of this inferior nature of people.
He couldn't help but feel deep regret, regretting that he hadn't thought it through and gave away the precious spirit crystal.
He may have had a good wish, hoping to reverse his fate with that treasure, but he forgot the truth of his guilt.
When a family has a treasure they can't defend, the greedy and wicked set their sights on them, and disaster begins.
The more Han Ye thought about it, the more he felt that he was infinitely close to the truth, there was no expression on his face, but the anger in his chest was boiling like magma.
If the fire at home is not a natural disaster but **, he swears to God that he will definitely find out the murderer behind this tragedy, so that this crazy murderer will regret being born in this world infinitely!
The fifth uncle was smoking a cigarette, and suddenly felt that the temperature in the room had dropped suddenly, and at the same time, Han Ye seemed to have changed as if he had changed, exuding a chilling aura, which made him panic and a little frightened.
He looked at Han Ye with some trepidation, not knowing how this guy could have changed so much and possess such a terrifying momentum.
At this moment, Han Ye suddenly opened his mouth and asked him to call the people in the village to investigate the situation of the fire last night.
To tell the truth, the fifth uncle has lived in Dongjia Village for most of his life, and he can be said to know the people in the village, and he doesn't think that the fire at home was caused by the people in the village, and it must be a natural disaster.
But Han Ye's demeanor and tone made him dare not refute it, so he could only honestly follow Han Ye's request, call back to the village, find a well-connected villager, and inquire in detail about last night's incident.
After a morning call, almost every household in the village asked all over the place, and they all said that the night was the same as usual, nothing abnormal, and the fire at home broke out suddenly and had no clue.
Only the last villager mentioned it in passing when chatting, saying that Dong Fang's two sons took their father to the city yesterday morning, but when he went out to chop wood in the afternoon, he seemed to see the two brothers and turned back to the village.
It's just that because of the distance, I don't know if it's me.
The fifth uncle didn't put this sentence at ease, let alone whether those two were Dong Fang's sons or not, even if they were, it wouldn't explain anything.
When you move, you leave something important, and it's normal to come back and pick it up.
When Han Ye heard this, he was suspicious.
If those two were really Dong family brothers, then since they picked up their father and left the village, why did they suddenly turn back halfway?
What is the important thing for them to waste half a day and turn back on such a rugged mountain road?
After they returned, why didn't anyone in the village show up with them?
The more Han Ye thought about it, the more he felt that these two people were extremely suspicious.
The most important thing is that the last time he listened to his father chatting with his fifth uncle, he talked about how these two brothers seemed to be **** mixed up, and they were mixed well.
People like this kind of cautious and ruthless people, as long as they are driven by huge enough interests, they can completely do things such as killing people and setting fires!
Han Ye immediately decided to take these two people as the biggest suspects and conduct a detailed investigation.
So, he immediately asked the fifth uncle about the background of these two people.
Seeing that Han Ye suspected that Dong Fang's two sons were murderers, the fifth uncle only felt that this guy's suspicion was too serious, and he had reached the point of nervousness.
Although the two brothers are ****, they are from a village after all, how can they attack the people in the village?
What's more, the family is so poor that they still owe a lot of debts, what treasures are there to worry about the two brothers?
The fifth uncle didn't agree with Han Ye's idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute it, but secretly complained.
Those two brothers are also well-known figures on Ishida's ****, if he tells Han Ye the details of the two, who knows if those two brothers will come to find trouble for him afterwards?
But if he conceals it, the guy in front of him seems to have a great background, and now is the time when he is emotional and murderous, in case he angers the other party, his fate is really worrying.
The fifth uncle couldn't help but regret that he was inexplicably involved in this trouble.
He carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to get through the hurdle in front of him first.
So he didn't dare to hide the situation of the Dong family brothers, and told Han Ye everything he knew, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
Dong Fang's two sons, the elder brother is called Dong Cheng and the younger brother is called Dong Jie, the age difference between the two is not much, they are both in their early thirties.
After graduating from high school, they left the village and went to Ishida to make a living together, and became the horses of Liu Si, who had just made a name for himself on the road at that time.
More than ten years have passed, Liu Si has become the black and white Liu Siye who is feared by everyone.
The two brothers of the Dong family have also changed from two little horses to Liu Siye's henchmen.
The fifth uncle has a good relationship with Dong Fang's family, and he knows more about the situation of the two.
Han Ye listened to the fifth uncle's story, and basically got to know Dong Cheng and Dong Jie, he asked the two brothers where they lived in Shitian, as well as their workplaces, and then went out, ready to explore the situation of the two brothers.
