Consider a shell, it is hollow and there is just air inside it. Charge cannot reside in air anywhere. It needs a surface. Thus, charge there is zero. As GAUSS law states that:-
Surface integral of electric field is equal to 1/E° times the charge enclosed by it. As charge is zero, thus E is also zero
