Act 212. Final clue
Reiner's actions exceeded the butcher's owner's expectations, he originally thought that Reiner was just an ordinary student in the school who had never seen the world, but he didn't expect the other party to use magic so decisively, he was a little helpless, he just wanted to tentatively murder the other party first, and if he found out that it was a soft persimmon, he would knock it well, but he didn't expect Reiner to be much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
"Uh, I'll take a look at ......"
The butcher shop owner had studied reading and writing for a while in order to do business, and he could barely read the text, but when he saw the address in Reiner's hand, he still showed a surprised expression.
"You...... Why are you looking for a place? ”
The boss asked rhetorically, making Reiner even more curious why such a vicious guy would have such a jealous expression when he saw the address.
"You lead the way."
The kitchen knife beside Reiner moved forward slightly, making the bald boss's face pale, and he nodded silently before taking off his apron and walking out of the store.
As soon as he walked out of the door, a few thugs who had gathered just now wanted to come over, but after noticing the dozen or so kitchen knives hovering around the bald boss, these brave and ruthless young men were silent.
"Tell me, how much do you know about this place?"
Reiner asked the bald boss as he walked leisurely.
"This was originally a slum, even on Engels Street, where it was the lowest corner, inhabited by losers who didn't even dare to commit crimes, and almost every day you could see the dead bodies of maggots being carried out of this building, and even wild dogs would not come near it."
The boss said slowly, his pronunciation was a little strange, not like a local.
"But a few years ago, it changed, and for some reason, the people there started to be positive, in contrast to this abandoned street, in fact, I used to live there for a while before I made a little money and opened my own shop."
Along the way, Reiner saw that the young people on the side of the road were like walking corpses, with no light in their eyes, and living on such a street, it was no wonder that Lady Lysa would say that Siris was reluctant to go home.
"But you may not have come at the right time."
The boss said, he suddenly stopped, pointed ahead, and said.
"That's where you're looking, 220 Engels Street, Belém Apartments."
Reiner followed the boss's finger, but what he saw was not the building he had imagined.
It was a ruin.
It can be seen from the wreckage that a small three-story building originally stood here, but a fire has burned the place, the stench of charred pillars is emanating, and many homes are buried under the collapsed walls.
Pedestrians on the side of the road don't look at this place, insensitive to it, as if nothing has changed here.
"It's been so hot lately, Therestan hasn't had rain in a month, and most of the houses here are made of wood, so it's easy to catch fire in this environment."
The boss said, sighing.
"It may have been caused by a group of young people who had gathered together to smoke, and they had recently gotten a special gadget, which was said to be particularly stimulating to smoke, and those of us who had lived on Engels Street for a long time were not interested in these things, and those young people liked it, and in order to avoid the sheriff, they hid and smoked, and as a result, the cigarette butt fell in the corner and ended up in a fire."
Reiner was silent, and he looked at the address on the paper again, and it was indeed the Belém apartment, 220 Engels Street.
"When did this happen?"
Reiner saw that the ruins didn't look like they had been abandoned for a long time, and that there was even a smell of burning in the air, which he guessed had happened recently.
"Last night."
However, the bald boss's answer was still beyond Reiner's expectations, and he didn't expect that such a disaster would happen here just the day before he came.
"The fire was found late at night, and the fire lasted all night and was not extinguished until the morning."
The bald boss said, with indescribable helplessness in his tone.
"And the people who live in here ......"
Reiner thought of the worst-case scenario, looking at the charred ruins, he asked.
"This is the most incredible part."
However, the boss's answer was unexpected.
"Although it was late at night, someone woke everyone up, and in a short period of time, most of them evacuated the apartment, only a few people were smoked or burned, and no one was killed in the whole apartment, which is a miracle."
"No one was killed?"
Reiner felt incredible, even a well-trained soldier could not necessarily escape without any preparation, but the result of this fire could indeed be regarded as a miracle.
"Yes, last night was really thrilling, when the last person escaped, the door of the apartment collapsed, and if it was a few minutes late, there might have been a dead person."
It was as if everything from last night had reappeared in front of me, said the bald boss.
"Do you know where the original inhabitants are?"
When asked, Reiner had already put down the knife, and although the bald boss looked fierce, he was unexpectedly a straightforward guy, so Reiner had no need to coerce him.
"Most of them went to the nearby public hospital, Baifan Hospital, which is just two blocks next door."
The bald boss replied, touching his head and glancing at the ruins again.
"Then you know Siris. Oldman? ”
Reiner asked casually.
Unexpectedly, when the bald boss heard this name, he didn't stand still and took a step back.
"Y—Where did you know that name!?
There was a slight panic in his eyes as he stared at Reiner.
"What's the matter, you know Ciris. Oldman, what happened to him? ”
Reiner immediately asked, and he had a vague hunch that the answer he had been looking for was close at hand.
He ...... has passed away. ”
The bald boss replied, hesitation in his tone.
"Siris. Oldman died five years ago, he was not in good health, and then he didn't know how to get weaker, and he lay in bed for a month of treatment, and finally left. ”
"What? He's dead? ”
Reiner felt a chuckle inwardly, feeling like a whirlpool of things he had learned before, trying to absorb everything.
"Does he have any family, or anything left behind......
He subconsciously glanced at the apartment that had been scorched to earth, and even if there were relics, I am afraid that they would have been scattered in the past few years.
But the bald boss's words made Reiner break free from the dark whirlpool and see a little hope.
"His mother suffered severe burns last night and is being treated at Baifan Hospital...... Hey, you wait......"
Before the bald boss could finish his sentence, he saw Reiner running away and disappearing around the corner in a blink of an eye.
