The flames are blazing.

Smoke billowed and even the air became dry, the air was filled with the smell of burning, and even half of the sky was orange-red with the firelight.

Reiner stood beside the carriage and stared in amazement at the burning plantation, a decades-old plantation that had been the base of Olmster's most prosperous industry.

He saw the smoke as he rode out of the city, and with a bad feeling in his heart, Reiner soon saw that the plantations, far from the city, were already burning with a fierce flame, and the fire was terrifying.

Reiner immediately notified the city firefighting agency, and at the same time prepared to rescue himself, knowing that there should be some farmers and managers on the plantation, although the current situation shows that those innocent civilians are more than lucky, Reiner cannot give up hope.

With an artificial river running through the plantation, and with little water left, Reiner used tidal surge to try to extinguish the flames and make a path.

But the fire was so big that even if the water in the river kept pouring in, it would still be a drop in the bucket.

Just then, a cry for help was heard from the flame-fringed plantation.

"Help......

The sound was distorted by the heat, but Reiner could hear it clearly, and he took two steps forward, and beside him, Isaris's illustrious armor appeared, blocking the heat.

But this spell can only defend against the invasion of the outside world, unable to produce oxygen, Reiner can only rely on its action in the hot fire scene for a while, he rushed into the fire with the help of the acceleration of magic power, and a few stones at hand became the carrier of the queen killer.

Boom –

With an explosion, Reiner destroys the collapsed pillar and opens a path.

He saw several peasants struggling forward, and a faint amount of steam could be seen beside them, offsetting some of the heat.

"What is this?"

Reiner was a little puzzled, but didn't hesitate, he directly blew up the obstacles behind him, clearing a way for the farmers to escape.

"This way."

He lifted up a fallen man and led them forward, while at the same time lifting the wounded who were physically exhausted and unsteady on their feet with the hands of the mage.

Just as they were fleeing the plantation, the old building finally collapsed as flames engulfed the supporting structure, and with a series of roars, the glory of the past was reduced to ruins, never to be seen again.

The firefighters had just arrived at this time, and they quickly started the fire extinguishing work, and the rescued injured were taken to the city hospital.

The fire did not subside until noon, and firefighters and sheriffs began searching the charred rubble for the victims and possible survivors.

Eventually, they found five bodies in the ruins of what could have been a warehouse.

According to the identification of the necromantic forensic doctor, the identities of four of the bodies were confirmed by the items they were carrying that had not yet been consumed by the flames, and that they were all farmers on the plantation.

Only one remains, unidentified.

"There was a wound on this body, which was caused by a sharp weapon, and this wound caused heavy bleeding, but there were traces of smoke erosion in the lungs of the deceased, indicating that this wound was not fatal, and he died because he inhaled too many harmful gases in the fire."

A medical examiner from the Olmster City Sheriff's Department said he had dissected the body and came to this conclusion.

"According to the list of the plantation, this man is not the farmer and manager of the plantation, and he has nothing around him that can prove his identity, uh, if you really want to say, the inside pocket of the clothes, and found some pieces of paper that have been burned."

The medical examiner lined up the items he could find on the deceased's body, and Reiner focused on the pile of scraps of paper he was pointing to.

This pile of paper was pierced by sharp weapons, the blood soaked the paper, and it was burned by the high temperature, and it was difficult to distinguish the words on it for a long time, perhaps because of these pieces of paper, the wound of the sharp blade was not enough to kill, so that the deceased had room to act, but after all, he lost a lot of physical strength due to excessive blood loss, and did not escape from the fire.

"Wait a minute, these pieces of paper always look familiar to me."

Reiner picked up one of them in a mage's hand and took a closer look.

"Doctor, have you examined the stomach of the deceased, what has he eaten lately?"

"There were traces of fish and seafood, and there was a lot of alcohol residue, and he drank a lot of alcohol at least yesterday until today."

The doctor glanced at his autopsy and replied.

Although Reiner is not a sheriff, his identity as a four-ring mage is enough to participate in the investigation, and the medical examiner has tried his best to answer Reiner's questions.

"What about the teeth, are there any dentist records or something?"

Reiner casually asked, a question that puzzled the medical examiner.

"Well, there is no such record, and there is nothing special about the deceased's teeth......"

"Really......"

What Reiner knew through the movies when he was on Earth is like fingerprints, the arrangement and shape of each person's teeth are also unique, and unlike fingerprints, teeth will not be destroyed by fire, so many developed countries will establish a complete medical record of dentists, so as to confirm the identity of the dead faster and more accurately.

It's just that in this world, such a record is too strong for people to do.

"This happens all the time, and I've heard from colleagues that the number of outsiders in Olmster has doubled recently compared to the same period, and if these migrants die in a major disaster, it will be difficult to identify them, and they will end up buried in public cemeteries."

The medical examiner said helplessly, as if it had become commonplace.

"If you can know some of his identity clues, the Immortal Throne has recently developed a spell that can verify the kinship according to the bloodline inheritance theory, but unfortunately, this requires at least two people to compare."

Reiner was a little gloomy, he thought about it, and still had the mentality of giving it a last try, and asked people to investigate the list of people who had recently been in and out of Omster.

When the results of the investigation returned in the evening, Reiner first confirmed his thoughts, and he found the list of passengers on the regular ship he was on, searching through photos and names.

Soon, he saw the photo and name of the swaggering man in the list of people in the economy class.

West. Windermere.

"Wait, Windermere I remember it......"

Reiner was in a trance, and he suddenly remembered that the hotel he was staying in was called the Windermere Hotel.

It was such a coincidence that Reiner had a sense of foreboding.

He hurriedly picked up the page and returned to the hotel.

Uncle Mason was busy setting up the hotel's decorations for his upcoming sixtieth birthday when he saw Reiner and said hello.

"Mr. Mason, I want to confirm that your last name is Windermere, right?"

Reiner asked, leaving Uncle Mason a little confused.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Then, Uncle Mason saw Reiner pull out a piece of paper with a photograph on it, along with basic information such as name and age.

"You know this called West. Windermere people? ”

Reiner asked, but in his heart, he wanted Uncle Mason to give a negative answer.

Seeing the photo, Uncle Mason's expression suddenly darkened a little, and he hesitated for a long time before answering.

"West. Windermere, is my son. ”
