NOVEL NEXT Chapter 469: Suspects (Part 3)
Moreover, it was not just Fang Yuxin here, but also the menacing Bai Ye, and two High-level Contracted Beasts! Even though Angela seemed to be only palm-sized, they knew that within that small body lay almost infinite power, capable of obliterating them with just a slight swipe of the paw!
The Caravan Captain quickly revealed the investigation results. Although his voice was calm, upon careful inspection, he was clearly nervous. He said, "When Axiao had the incident, it was the day we arrived at Jin City Base. At that time, I was negotiating business with some people in the Base. After Axiao took out the goods from her Personal Space, she went for a walk, probably wanting to see the situation in Jin City Base.
She was supposed to have someone with her, but then they got separated. Afterward, an explosion suddenly occurred in a corner of the Base. I took people to check it out, but there was nothing left aside from a mess. From then on, we couldn't contact Axiao. I suspect the explosion has something to do with Axiao, but the explosion site is under lockdown, with personnel responsible for the investigation. They suspect someone self-detonated."
Fang Yuxin's face turned grim hearing this: "And then? Do you have any suspects in mind?"
The Caravan Captain felt a chill under her gaze. After swallowing, he continued, "Jin City Base claimed they suspected an Advanced zombie infiltrated, and was discovered by Axiao. Axiao allegedly self-detonated to eliminate the threat, and they expressed willingness to offer some compensation. However, I think... there's something odd about this. Axiao is a Space superpower user, and her Skills are highly destructive. Even if she encountered an Advanced zombie, she could still hide if she couldn't win; there was no need for her to self-detonate. Unless... she fell into someone's trap and couldn't hide."
By the end, he dared not look at Fang Yuxin's expression any longer. After pausing, he quickly added, "Miss Fang, the people who went out with Axiao, I have already controlled them, but I'm still not certain if they are involved. Also, I heard news that a very skilled researcher recently joined Jin City's research institute. But this person is extremely mysterious, and I could find very little information."
Fang Yuxin understood what he implied; he evidently suspected the new researcher. Whether his suspicion was genuine or he was simply shifting blame, Fang Yuxin would thoroughly investigate this person's background! As for those two detained people... they better pray they have no involvement in this matter, or else, she wouldn't mind letting them experience a fate worse than death!
Fang Yuxin narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Take me to see those two." She glanced at Bai Ye as she spoke.
Bai Ye understood and immediately said, "I'll go check on that researcher." After his words, he shot the Caravan's members a warning look and then left with Bai Er.
Fang Yuxin was taken to the room where the two suspects were held. Before she got close, she heard an angry roar from inside: "Liu Yao! I'm innocent! I had nothing to do with that incident! Let me out now!"
It was a man's voice, sounding full of energy, indicating he hadn't suffered much. Fang Yuxin sneered, and in a blink of an eye, she was at the door. The door wasn't locked, so she pushed it open easily.
The people inside saw the door open and, before checking who it was, rudely said, "Finally decided to open the door? Let me out quickly!" But as he finished speaking, he saw Fang Yuxin's face.
Due to Hope Base's official website, no one in the Base didn't recognize Fang Yuxin. As soon as he abruptly saw Fang Yuxin, his gaze flickered, and his face changed instantly. First astonished, then he began to complain: "Miss... Miss Fang? Why are you here? Let me out now! I was wronged!"
However, in the next moment, he felt a sharp, piercing pain in his brain, followed by something seemingly extracted. He had no idea what happened and couldn't control his body, leaving only fear and regret spreading in his heart.
At this moment, Fang Yuxin no longer looked at him but turned toward another person in the corner. It was a young woman, fairly good-looking. She hadn't been crying or making noise all this time, but seeing the fate of the other, her face quickly turned pale, and she started to tremble even with a forced composure.
Noticing Fang Yuxin's icy gaze, she abruptly lifted her head and quivered, "No... It's none of my business."
Fang Yuxin sneered, curling her lips: "Regret now? Too late!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
