The morning sun in Eiders was much brighter than the morning sun. The sunlight shone through the window and shone on the ground, creating a blinding reflection.
Kozert stood there respectfully, looking at Kieran who was showering under the sun with admiration.
Kieran, on the other hand, frowned slightly after getting a lot of information from Kozert.
However, he quickly relaxed his frown.
After all, he had gotten enough information.
Even though he didn't solve all his doubts, he solved most of them.
First of all, according to Kozert, the world before his eyes should be a world where humans and monsters lived together. The sun rose and set as signals.
When the sun rose, humans would move.
When the sun set, monsters would appear.
Of course, it wasn't absolute.
When the population reached a certain level, even at night, the monsters would gradually disappear, just like what happened in Eiders before.
On the other hand, the city would become a paradise for monsters to roam freely, like the deserted wilderness.
However, as time went by, the monsters that should have gone into hiding in Eiders started to become active.
Kozert knew nothing about it.
Similar to how he didn't know what the 'cheat' had stolen, nor did he know who the thief was.
However, as a 'hyacinth', Kozert brought Kieran another piece of news: someone offered a reward of 1,000 dollars for Kieran's identity. If there was detailed information, the reward would be doubled.
It was obvious that Kieran's appearance had attracted some attention.
Because of that, a lot of people had their eyes on Kieran.
A reward of 1,000 dollars wasn't considered high.
However, it was a piece of irrelevant information that didn't even require a fight, which made it very attractive.
At least according to Kozert, most of the 'hyacinths' in Eiders who had nothing better to do had their eyes on Kieran.
Another piece of news that caught Kieran's attention was that he knew the shop where the 'cheat' sold the stolen goods.
Unfortunately, when the news about the 'cheat' was exposed, the place was burned to ashes in a fire.
Everyone assumed the fire was the culprit.
Some said it was the thief who lost the stolen goods.
Some said it was the thief who did the dirty deed.
But as for who it was, no one knew.
"Let's go there and have a look."
Kieran said.
"Yes, my lord."
Even though he knew there wouldn't be any clues left behind, Kozert wouldn't disobey Kieran's order.
Of course, he remembered Kieran's instructions.
He was still following them!
He was not the subordinate of this lord.
…
In the back alley of Emel Street.
Kieran arrived in front of the shop that sold stolen goods.
There was no need to search. This shop was eye-catching enough.
Among the row of intact buildings, this was the only one that had collapsed, and there were signs of burning.
Kieran glanced around.
Based on the similar buildings around him, he could infer that when this place was intact, it should have been a one-story residential house.
There was no courtyard, and one could just push open the door and enter.
Of course, a place to dispose of stolen goods wouldn't have a signboard.
Kieran walked past the place where the door should have been. The crunchy feeling under his boots was enough to tell Kieran how fierce the fire was back then.
Kieran looked at both sides of the street, which were mostly intact but had burn marks on the walls. He then glanced over the 2-meter wide passageway between the buildings.
Finally, his eyes returned to the building itself.
"After the fire broke out, the police and fire brigade came here and cleaned up the place.
They didn't find any useful clues.
"There were no casualties either."
At least, no bodies were found. "
Kieran recalled Kozert's words as he walked to the center of the building.
This place was …
The fire!
Under [Tracking]'s vision, even though it had been a few days, some intense traces would still show up clearly, even though they were mixed with other traces.
Kieran bent down and looked at the traces, which were obviously dug up by a shovel and then buried again.
"Interesting."
Kieran squinted his eyes.
Most of the accidental fires would spread from the corners and eventually spread unstoppably.
The fire in the center of the building could only mean one thing: someone set the place on fire!
It matched the information that Kieran had gotten.
The stolen goods disposal shop was destroyed by someone.
However, the digging after the incident had exceeded Kieran's expectations.
After the incident with the "cheat", this place would surely be watched. In fact, there were still people around.
From the moment Kieran arrived at the shop, he felt more than one gaze on him.
So, it was natural that no one would come to the shop with a shovel after the fire.
That left only one possibility: after the fire broke out!
When the police and fire brigade were putting out the fire!
To be more precise, the digger himself was a policeman or fireman who fought the fire.
As for the traces left behind when putting out the fire?
Although soil could put out the fire, no one would dig up the land under the fire.
With thoughts lingering in his mind, Kieran walked out of the scorched land. When he walked past Kozert in the shadow, Kieran said without batting an eyelid, "I want to know the name list of the police and fire brigade that participated in the fire that day."
Without stopping, Kieran continued forward.
Kozert, who was in the shadow, quietly followed Kieran.
No one noticed anything different.
Even if someone discovered Kozert, they would only think that he was another stalker.
Everyone's eyes were on Kieran.
He arrived at Emer Street from the back alley.
Kieran looked at the never-ending flow of people and unconsciously looked at the few restaurants with signboards. As the gazes on him grew more intense?
Kieran didn't care at all.
However, when the owner of one of the gazes walked out openly and stopped him, Kieran had to unwillingly move his gaze away from the restaurant.
Mier.
One of the special consultants of the Eiders police force. Together with her grandfather, Wier, both of them were always active in the frontline against the monsters. Her temper and personality were extremely weird.
Based on what Kozert said, Mier was the last person Kieran wanted to deal with.
Because no one knew what Mier, who was smiling a second ago, would do in the next second.
Mier was looking at Kieran with a smile. Her brown hair was combed into a ponytail and her emerald eyes squinted into a fine line when she smiled.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest, squeezing out a soul-stirring dent. She then walked around Kieran, sizing up Kieran as she walked. Unlike last night, she was sizing up Kieran.
Last night, she still held back a little, but this time, she didn't hold back at all.
The burning feeling hidden in her eyes was like a woman who saw her beloved bag in a shopping mall.
When she stood in front of Kieran again, she asked with a clear voice.
"What did you find?"
Kieran didn't answer. He walked around her and headed to the restaurant that he had just picked out.
However, right away, Kieran paused his steps.
Because …
