I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"We've never had anyone like that live here."

The manager of the apartment, probably also a middle-aged man hired here, shook his head after seeing Flora's photo.

"Can we see the empty rooms here?"

Drizzt fumbled for a low-denomination bill and handed it to the administrator.

"No problem, you come with me."

The administrator smiled after receiving the money, and he led Drizzt and others upstairs to an empty room on the top floor.

"I guess you don't want to rent it, so I'll just say it. Someone died in this room before. I don't know how it died. But since then, people who live here often have problems. After a long time, no one lives in it." gone."

The administrator introduced a sentence and opened the door.

Lu Jian saw a dilapidated but relatively clean room, which seemed to have been repainted, which was different from the other houses along the way.

The room is very small, only a bed, a table, a chair, not even a cabinet, but at least there is a door, which can be isolated from the outside world.

On the window sill, the sun shone into the room, and the dazzling golden color fell on the bed sheet. On the window sill, there was a somewhat damaged bottle, which was empty.

"Strange, was there a bottle here before?"

The caretaker picked up the bottle so that the wind wouldn't blow it and knock it to the ground.

Drizzt stood there in a daze. He looked at the window sill, saw the smoke and dust from the factory outside the window, and saw the curtains blown up by the breeze. He seemed to see the girl smiling at him.

This is the room in the dream!

It's exactly the same!

It's the same!

Drizzt walked into the room, as if he had been here countless times, he sat on the side of the bed, and came to the position in the dream.

Everything is like repeating itself.

"Has something happened here before? Who died? Is there a record?"

Drizzt hurriedly asked the administrator.

"I, I'll check."

Shocked by Drizzt's attitude, the administrator also forgot to ask for money, and wandered downstairs, Shia followed, and after a while, she came back with a thick volume of documents.

"Room 404, the previous occupant was John, a worker in a textile factory"

"No."

Drizzt immediately denied it. He took the file and checked the previous records in this room.

Fortunately, the management of the apartment is fairly formal. Each room has its own record, and you can see the traces of tenant turnover.

It's just that there are only text materials here, and there are no photos for comparison.

Soon, Drizzt saw one of them.

"Tenant's name, Liz, moved in in May 25, died in an accident in October"

Drizzt found a record of the death.

It is now the spring of 26, which was a year ago.

"Strange, why is there only one person?"

Shia remembered that there should be two people in Drizzt's dream.

But this rental record has only one person's name.

"This is normal. Our apartment here can be moved in as long as you register your name. It doesn't matter whether you live in one person or two people, as long as it doesn't affect other people."

The administrator said something casually.

"Some people rent apartments and rent out their beds to other people, even under the bed, it's no big deal."

"The second landlord is a bit outrageous."

Lu Yi probably also knows that these people can't afford enough money alone, so they find someone to "compose the bill", just like there are many groups renting houses in big cities.

Many people work hard and work, but all the money is turned into rent and handed over to the landlord.

Rent collectors exist no matter what era they are in.

He sighed.

"Now that you know the name, you can go to the police to investigate the files."

Shia said, looking at the paint in this room again.

"When was the paint put on here?"

The color of the paint was different from that of the deceased, not so colorful.

"It was after the accident. The administrator at that time had already left. I don't know where he went, but I heard that it was quite serious at the time, and people from the gangster were injured. The plumbing in this house has always been problematic."

The administrator said while recalling.

"People from gangsters will live here too?"

Shia finds it a bit unbelievable, there are naturally no gangsters in the Kingdom of the Night, but according to Shia's understanding, this should be some kind of loosely disciplined military organization, and there should be a place to live together, and they shouldn't live in such a messy apartment inside.

"Yes, of course there are, but most apartments don't accept these guys because they are easy to cause trouble. The gangsters who came here at that time, I remember it was the Catania family."

The administrator scratched his head.

"The Catania family?"

Drizzt felt that somewhere, something was connecting everything together.

"You mean the Catania family came and got hurt when the accident happened in this house?"

"It should be, I'm not sure."

The administrator was also not sure what Drizzt asked.

"But someone must have been injured at the time, because the gangsters lived next door."

He pointed to the rental records.

It said "Tucker, moved in November 23, left October 25."

It's October too!

"Oh, I remembered. I read it in the newspaper at the time. Two gangsters were fighting each other, and many people died."

The administrator seemed to have just remembered.

"Because of this incident, the big shots in the waste capital have been punishing gangsters for a while, but they only wiped out some insignificant ones, and the real ones are all fine."

"Thank you for your explanation."

Drizzt handed a banknote to the administrator, and looked at Lu Yi and Shia again.

"We now need to find out where this Tucker went, how this person named Liz died, and what the Catania family did here at that time."

"Then we should go to the police station first."

Lu Jian suggested.

"really."

Drizzt took one last look at the room, thinking as he went downstairs.

"If that girl was Flora, there wouldn't be such a big change in just one year, then the girl in the dream should be Liz, but why is this pendant in Flora's hands? ?”

"Or, the main perspective of my dream is Flora. The gaze I felt in the basement at that time was Flora's remaining will after she died because of her extraordinary power. She was parasitic on me, trying to tell me the answer?"

"At least it is certain that the murderer did not choose the target at random. Flora, Dr. House, and the deceased of the Catania family, there are connections between these people. As long as we can figure out these connections, to find out who killed them, and"

"The murderer's next target"

Drizzt thought of the charity banquet at night, when all members of the Catania family would be present.

The first more exciting novel 3w. zhaishuyuan. c-0 must be saved to favorites.

===407. No survivors===

Inside the police station.

The three of them flipped through the documents and checked the case records of the incident in the apartment of the Happy House.

However, in cases involving gangsters, the police records are very vague.

I don't know if I didn't dare to investigate carefully, or I was deliberately vague after collecting the money.

"it's here."

Fortunately, Shia has spells, and can directly read quantum fluctuations, let the files grow up by themselves, read themselves, and quickly find relevant information.

[Liz, 15 years old, cause of death, unclaimed, the body was incinerated]

"?"

Lu Bian was stunned.

Why was the cause of death obliterated?

He looked back, and found that the girl didn't even have a photo, nor did she have an autopsy report on her body. She only said that she was cremated in the funeral home they first went to, and her ashes were nowhere to be found.

A living person died like this, even the reason was covered up, and there was no final whereabouts of the body, it really made people feel that this world is too stupid.

"There are not many records on this case."

Shia pointed down.

[Two violent armed groups fought in the apartment of Happy House, resulting in 17 deaths and six injuries. Two perpetrators were arrested and released on bail after negotiation. 】

The large-scale fighting between the gangsters resulted in the death of 17 people. As a result, only two scapegoats were captured and released. It can be seen how chaotic the law and order in the abandoned capital is.

Drizzt looked at the transcript of the trial, and the list of the dead and wounded.

Except for five gang members, the others were ordinary civilians, and three people died in the Happy House apartment, including Liz in room 404.

And Tucker in room 405.
