Scene 314. Fire
The flames are burning.
The smoke rolled, and even the air became dry, and the smell of burnt smell was filled with. Even half of the sky appeared orange-red for the flames.
Reiner stood beside the carriage and stared blankly at the plantation in the sea of fire. This plantation, which has a decades-old history and was once the base of Ohmster's most prosperous industry, was destroyed in such a way.
When he left the city by carriage, he saw the thick smoke, with a bad premonition in his heart. Reiner soon saw that the plantations far away from the city had already ignited a blazing flame, and the flames soared into the sky, making people tremble.
Reiner immediately notified the firefighting agency in the city, and was also preparing to rescue him. You should know that there should be some farmers and managers in the plantation. Although judging from the current situation, those innocent civilians are in danger, Reiner cannot give up hope.
There was an artificial river running through the plantation, and there was not much water left inside. Reiner used the tide rush technique to try to extinguish the flames and open up a path.
But the fire was too big, and even if the water in the river kept pouring in, it was still a drop in the bucket.
At this moment, a cry for help came from the plantation surrounded by flames.
"Help......"
The sound was distorted by the high temperature, but Reiner could hear it clearly. He walked two steps forward, and beside him, Isaris's prominent armor appeared, blocking the high temperature.
But this spell can only defend against external invasion and cannot create oxygen. Reiner can only rely on him to operate at the high-temperature fire scene for a while. He rushed into the fire with the help of magical acceleration. At hand, a few stones became the carrier of the Queen's Killer.
Boom-
With an explosion, Reiner destroyed the collapsed pillars and opened up a path.
He saw that several farmers were struggling to move forward, and some steam could be seen vaguely around them, offsetting part of the high temperature.
"This is?"
Reiner was a little confused, but without hesitation, and he exploded the obstacle behind him and cleared out a passage for the farmers to escape.
"Here."
He helped up a fallen man and led these men forward, while using the mage's hand to lift the injured who were unable to stand firmly.
Just as they had just escaped from the plantation, the old building finally collapsed because of flames that swallowed up the supporting structure. With a series of roars, the glory of the past turned into ruins and the glory of the past was no longer seen.
The firefighters had just arrived at this time and quickly started fire extinguishing work, while the rescued injured were sent to the city hospital.
The fire did not diminish until noon, and firefighters and sheriffs began searching for victims and possible survivors in a charred ruin.
Finally, they found five bodies in a ruin that might be a warehouse.
According to the identification of the necromancer, the identities of the four corpses were confirmed through the items they carried with them that had not been swallowed by the flames. They were all farmers in this plantation.
There is only one left, unknown.
"There is a trauma on this corpse, which was caused by a sharp weapon. This wound caused heavy bleeding, but there were traces of smoke erosion in the lungs of the deceased, which shows that this wound is not a fatal injury. He died of inhaling too much harmful gases in the fire."
The forensic doctor from the Omster City Security Bureau said that he had dissected the body and came to this conclusion.
"According to the list of the plantations, this person is not a farmer and manager of the plantations, and there is no item around him that can prove his identity. Uh, what to say, the inner pocket of the clothes, found some pieces of paper that had been burned."
The forensic doctor arranged the items that could be found on the deceased in sequence, and Reiner placed his eyes on the pile of paper he pointed at.
This pile of paper was pierced by sharp objects, and the blood was soaked in the paper, and it was burned by high temperatures. It was difficult to distinguish the text on it. Perhaps because of these papers, the wound of the sharp blade was not enough to be fatal, giving the deceased room to act, but in the end, he lost a lot of physical strength due to excessive blood loss and did not escape the fire.
"Wait a minute, I always feel that these pieces of paper look familiar."
Reiner picked up one of them in the hand of the mage and took a closer look.
"Doctor, have you checked the stomach of the deceased? What has he eaten recently?"
"There are traces of fish and seafood, and a lot of alcohol residues, and he drank a lot of wine from at least yesterday to today."
The doctor took a look at his anatomy record and replied.
Although Reiner is not a sheriff, his identity as a wizard in the Fourth Ring Road is enough to participate in the investigation, and the forensic doctor also tried his best to answer Reiner's questions.
"Where are there any dentists who record the teeth?"
Reiner asked casually that this question confuses the forensic doctor.
"Well, there is no such record, and there is nothing special about the teeth of the deceased..."
"Yeah......"
When Reiner was on Earth, he learned through novels and movies. Just like fingerprints, everyone's teeth are unique in arrangement and shape. Unlike fingerprints, teeth will not be destroyed by fires. Therefore, many developed countries will establish complete dentist medical records to confirm the identity of the victims faster and more accurately.
But in this world, such records are really too difficult.
"This kind of thing is often the case. I heard from my colleagues that the number of outsiders in Omster has doubled recently compared to the same period. If these migrant populations die in major disasters, it will be difficult to identify their identities and will eventually be buried in public cemeteries."
The forensic doctor said helplessly, as if it was commonplace.
"If you can know some of his identity clues, the Immortal Throne's priests recently developed a spell that can verify kinship based on bloodline genetic theory. Unfortunately, it requires at least two people to compare."
Reiner was a little sad. He thought about it, but with the mentality of giving it a try, someone went to investigate the list of people who had recently entered and left Omster.
The investigation result only came back in the evening. Reiner first confirmed his thoughts. He found the list of passengers for the regular ship he was on and searched through photos and names.
Soon, he saw the photo and name of the cheating man on the list of people in the economy class.
West Windermere.
"Wait a minute, Windermere, I remember it is..."
Reiner was a little dazed, and suddenly he remembered that the hotel he lived in was called Windermere Hotel.
This was really coincidental, which gave Reiner an ominous premonition.
He hurriedly picked up the information page and returned to the hotel.
Uncle Mason was busy and decorating the hotel for his upcoming 60th birthday. When he saw Reiner, he greeted him.
"Mr. Mason, I want to confirm that your last name is Windermere, right?"
Reiner asked, making Uncle Mason a little confused.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Then, Uncle Mason saw Reiner take out a piece of paper with a photo on it, with basic name and age and other information.
"Do you know this guy named West Windermere?"
Reiner asked, but in his heart, he hoped that Uncle Mason would give a denial answer.
Seeing the photo, Uncle Mason's expression suddenly became a little dim. He hesitated for a long time before answering.
"West Windermere, is my son."
