1374 The Culprit! 1 (1/2)

Without a second word, Nian Xiaomu immediately hung up the call and rushed back to the factory.

Her gaze tightened when she looked down and saw the financial report in her hands.

She had always thought that all the factory workers had risked their lives to put out the fire purely because they wanted to protect the factory; even if the culprit for the arson was caught, he would surely be an outsider who was not a worker of the factory.

However, whatever that Fan Yu said triggered an alarm within her.

The fire did not start burning outside the factory, but the inside.

She had toured the clothing factory during her first visit. Manager Hong had worked here for his entire life, and he had established a series of safety precautions for the place.

She would believe it if no one discovered the truth about the fire if it had been set outside the factory.

However, if no one discovered that a person had actually sneaked into the factory and started a fire, this meant that the person must be highly skilled. That being said, how could such a person be unable to hold onto a lighter properly and burn himself, leaving a trace of evidence at the scene of the crime in the process?

Unless this person was someone close to them!

Fu Jin's face flashed past Nian Xiaomu's face.

He had mentioned the other time that he had burnt himself while he was putting out the fire.

Nian Xiaomu had subconsciously believed his words as she had seen with her own eyes the many workers who had been burnt in the fire while they were protecting the factory.

However, come to think of it now, he had actually subconsciously used his left hand to receive the cup of water which she had passed to him even though his left arm was bandaged.

This meant that the injuries on his arm were not serious. Also, he might be a left hander too!

These two points matched Fan Yu's deductions about the arsonist earlier on.

If he was really the culprit, he must be a good actor.

He actually managed to fake a painful and regretful look in front of her right after he set fire to the factory!

So angry!
