Chapter 48: Nightmare Linkage (Flames)

Xu Tian and his entourage came to a small restaurant near the hotel, the six-hour drive was still a bit boring, and everyone didn't want to eat after getting off the bus, but Lao Chen felt that he should discuss it before entering the hotel, so he had a meal by the way.

"I think it's better for you to go in, I'd better wait before deciding whether to go in or not." Teacher Jin said.

"Why? If Mr. Jin doesn't go in with us, I'm afraid he will be in danger. Xu Tian said worriedly.

"Are you worried about my leg injury? I can tell you responsibly that my leg injury is not a problem at all. Teacher Jin said confidently.

"So what does Mr. Jin want to do? Always out there giving us foreign help? But do you think the ruling year can agree? Xu Tian said.

"We all already know what the purpose of this time is, and I think this hotel is just a front, and we will probably be moved elsewhere." Teacher Jin said.

"I also think that this kind of thing has a high chance of happening, because the location of the hotel is in the center of the city, so it is very inconvenient to do anything, and so are we, and so is the old man Tai Sui." Xu Tian said.

"So we have to start first, and we have to speculate on the next move of the ruling Tai Sui." Teacher Jin said.

At this moment, Xu Tian and Lao Chen heard a familiar voice.

"Waiter, old bowl of noodles, hurry up, the sooner the better."

This voice is the owner of the restaurant where the fire broke out in Dong'an City, the boss of Yan An.

"Why is he here!" Old Chen muttered quietly.

"Look at his outfit and his backpack." Xu Tian looked at the hotel owner and said. "Maybe he has the same purpose as us, he just got off the high-speed train, and he should be in the same car as us."

"I can see it." Teacher Jin said. "That person came out in a hurry, unlike us pulling the suitcase, that person was only carrying a backpack that was very inappropriate for his age, which should have been borrowed from the hotel staff, and his clothes were very dirty, and there was a smell of oil smoke from a distance, and the clothes should not be his."

"I remember you personally witnessed this boss's van catch fire two nights ago, right?" Xu Tian asked Lao Chen.

"Yes! The case hasn't been solved yet, but now I know what to expect. Lao Chen stared at the hotel owner and said.

"There are many ways to make the car catch fire, I heard Li Ming tell me about the general experience, in that environment, the only person who can set the fire is this hotel owner, but I don't understand why he set the fire." Xu Tian said suspiciously.

"Whatever his purpose, he should be able to identify him by now." Lao Chen stood up and walked towards the restaurant owner.

"Hey!" Lao Chen patted the hotel owner on the shoulder and said.

When the restaurant owner saw Lao Chen, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, and the bite of noodles that he hadn't finished almost squirted out.

"What are you doing here?" Lao Chen asked.

"Come and vote for relatives!" The owner of the restaurant said.

"Vote for relatives?" Lao Chen felt a little puzzled.

"My hotel has been destroyed, and I can only go to my cousin to do something in his five-star hotel."

Lao Chen looked at the restaurant owner for a while, then nodded and turned to leave.

Xu Tian and his party in the distance have been staring at the hotel owner, Xu Tian clearly saw that the hotel owner made a gesture of covering his backpack, and when he did that action of covering his backpack, the hotel owner's eyes were dripping, as if he was looking for someone.

After returning to the table and sitting down, Lao Chen looked worried.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Tian asked Lao Chen.

"When I got closer to that person, I could see very clearly, his backpack seemed to contain a lot of heavy things, we are not in this city now, we don't have the authority to hold a position, otherwise I would really want to search his backpack." Lao Chen said.

"No need to look it up." Xu Tian stared at the restaurant owner and said. "He should be one of the arsonists, but I don't have evidence yet, but I'm sure that he burned his kitchen and his own car."

"How do you know?" Lao Chen said suspiciously.

"It's simple." Teacher Jin took over the conversation and said. "Do you think that person can not be on guard in the back kitchen after something happens to a dead person in the back kitchen? Something happened within a few days, does that seem like a coincidence? ”

"So you mean that the owner of the restaurant is an arsonist?" Lao Chen said.

"I'm just speculating, because there's no evidence yet, but I feel like things should be very easy to explain." Xu Tian said.

At this time, everyone looked at the restaurant owner, especially Lao Chen, and always felt a little flustered, but Lao Chen couldn't say what caused the panic.

The restaurant owner had finished eating noodles and was about to open his backpack to check out, when the hotel owner looked back and looked around, and only opened his backpack when he was sure that no one was looking at him.

"That's not right!" Xu Tian said suspiciously. "He knew we were watching him, but he opened his backpack anyway, why?"

"Are you nervous?" Dr. Lin said from the side.

"That's not right! There's something! There must be something! Xu Tian stared at the restaurant owner, and there was a very resolute light in his eyes. It's the strangest thing to be around us for no reason, what's the deal with his outfit? What's more, we didn't know in advance that we came to this small restaurant, it was completely immediate. Why is it so coincidental? The owner of the restaurant also came to this store? ”

At this time, the owner of the hotel took out a hundred-yuan bill from his backpack and handed it to the waiter, and then sat on the seat with the backpack and waited for the waiter to find money.

"Stop him!" Xu Tian pointed at the hotel owner and shouted.

But at this time, it was too late, and just as the waiter handed the change to the restaurant owner, suddenly the backpack he was holding in his arms burst into flames.

The restaurant owner's face was immediately engulfed in flames, and the fire spread very quickly, and in less than three seconds, the hotel owner's body was on fire.

The surrounding guests and waiters were so frightened that they ran outside, Xu Tian, Lao Chen, and Teacher Jin hurriedly looked for fire extinguishers everywhere, while Dr. Lin sat still and dialed the fire alarm, first aid, and police calls.

The hotel owner rolled desperately on the ground, but the fire on his body spread too fast, and before two minutes had passed, the hotel owner's body had been burned to pitch black.

It was too late, Xu Tian stopped at the edge of the cash register, and at this time Xu Tian seemed to see a face full of ridicule in the flames.

This is undoubtedly a disappointment given to them by the ruling Tai Sui, but for the reason during this period, Xu Tian is afraid that it will be difficult for him to detect the truth for the rest of his life.
