Captain Richard looked at these ruins and was filled with sadness. . . These are all the people of Holy Light City. . No one wants to suffer such a disaster. . .
The two men walked forward slowly on horseback. . . Hope to see some clues. . .
At this time, they suddenly found some people wandering around the ruins. . . Some are alone and some are in groups. .
Logically speaking. . . Someone was bound to die in this accident. . It is normal for them to come to mourn their relatives and friends. . .
But they found out. . It's not like these people are here to pay their respects. . . Most of them looked panicked. . And looked left and right. . . Looking around. . . It doesn't look like he's here to mourn for his relatives and friends who died. . .
Baoyin looked at Captain Richard. . There are quite a few such people. . . It looks like there are almost 15-6 waves. . .
So the two men found one of the women. . She wanders here alone. . . walk around. . Looking panicked. . . .
Baoyin and Captain Richard walked over directly. . .
The woman seemed to be focused on these ruins. . He didn't notice the two people approaching. . . Not even the sound of horse hooves brought her back to her senses. .
"Madam, madam." Baoyin called twice in succession. . Only then did the woman come back to her senses. .
"Ah?! Are you calling me??" The woman looked at the two people in front of her in confusion, apparently a little belatedly. . . She didn't know these two people. . And look at this outfit. . And what to carry. . He looked like a businessman from afar. . . She didn't know how these two people got here. .
Baoyin nodded. . .
The woman asked directly: "Who are you?? I don't seem to know you... Do you have anything to do with me??"
Baoyin needs to test it out first. . So he asked: "We are two businessmen... first time here... came to Holy Light City... We wanted to have a good look at the capital of the Holy Light Empire... but ended up walking here... It looks like there was a fire in this place, right??”
The woman heard that she was a businessman from other places. . I didn’t think much about it. . And this is Holy Light City. . . She is naturally not afraid of bad people. . .
So the woman said: "You don't know... This place used to be a relatively prosperous business district... People around us would come here to buy some things... Things here are not as expensive as in rich areas... . The price is fair. . Children are honest... Later, more and more people came here... and some shops were gradually opened... such as restaurants, hotels, bars, etc.... About a month and a half ago... 3 in the morning At half past o'clock...suddenly...the wine cellar of a hotel here caught fire...and the flames suddenly shot into the sky...and then the wind was very strong that day...and it engulfed the place directly. ..Why..."
The woman sighed as she spoke. . . .
The two men looked at each other. . It seemed that what this woman said was almost the same as what the middle-aged man said before. . . But why did this woman remember the time of the fire so clearly? . . One and a half months ago, 3:30 in the morning. . . This is a little strange. . . At this time, normal people have already entered a deep sleep state. . . Don't talk about getting angry. . Even thunder might not wake anyone up. . . Even if it's a sudden awakening. . . Nor is it so clear about time. . .
So Baoyin continued to ask: "Madam, how do you know the time so clearly? Did you witness the fire that day?"
The woman shook her head and replied without thinking: "I was not there at the time, my husband said it... That's why I know so clearly..."
"Your husband?? He was present at that time?" Baoyin felt that something was wrong. . . So I continued to ask. .
This woman was not wary either. . Answer what you ask. . .
She said that her husband was the night watchman in the City of Holy Light. . Responsible for night patrol at night. . . He happened to be passing by here that day. . Unfortunately, he happened to be following the route of the night patrol. . I will pass through that area at exactly 3:30 in the morning. . . Saw the fire burning. . . Although he wanted to save people. . Also willing to put out fires. . . But that fire was too big. . Spreads too fast. . . He had just struck the gong to alert those around him of the fire. . Not waiting for him to call someone. . . The fire had already engulfed the entire area. . .
Later, when he called the Royal Guards and surrounding residents to participate in putting out the fire. . . Two-thirds of this area has been burned. . .
Afterwards, Richard explained to Baoyin. . It is true that there is a profession of night watchman in Holy Light City. . . Because Holy Light City is too huge. . . In addition, there are not so many Royal Guards on duty at night. . . So Captain Lancer came up with this idea. . That is to hire some citizens as night watchmen. . Divide corresponding areas. . Let them patrol at night. . Then the Royal Guard will pay them wages every month. . If any illegal behavior is discovered, the case will be solved. . There will also be additional rewards. .
When Baoyin and Captain Richard heard this, they knew that her husband was a key personnel. . If you can find her husband. . Maybe we can get more clues. . .
So Baoyin asked: "Madam, where is your husband now?? We want to find him to find out about the fire."
Although this woman has no intentions. . But now I'm a little confused. . . This is Holy Light City. . There was a fire in this place. . . The two people in front of me. . Aren't you a businessman from other places? . . Why are they so interested in this place? . This is too strange. .
Although she didn't say it. . But her expression had changed. . .
Baoyin and Captain Richard can certainly tell. .
So Baoyin quickly changed her words and said: "That's right, I have a distant relative here... I haven't been in contact with him for a long time... It's also because it's too far... This time I just have time... Let's take a look... The address they left for me at that time was here... so I came here... Don't tell me... I still asked about it for a long time along the way... I didn't expect... it would turn out like this when I got here..."
Baoyin sighed as he spoke. . . At the same time, he also showed a sad look. . .
This woman looked like this. . Just believe it. . . She is just an ordinary housewife. . How could he possibly see Baoyin's disguise? . . At the same time, there are so many people in Holy Light City. . It's not like she knows them all. . So Baoyin said this. . She believed it. . . It turned out that I wanted to find out the situation from my husband. . . This is also reasonable. . The place where my relatives lived was turned into ashes overnight. . . Naturally, I have to ask. . .
The woman looked embarrassed. . . He seemed reluctant. . .
Baoyin saw the change in the woman's mood. . Knowing that she believed what she just said. . . And now he looks embarrassed. . Most likely she is afraid that we will embarrass her husband. . .
fo
So Baoyin quickly said: "Madam, don't worry... We are just asking about the situation..."
