Chapter 38: The Cleaner [2/3]

As they went upstairs, Renji sorted through the information they had gathered so far.

Firstly, Brian, the owner of Sea Sand Bar, had mentioned that he sent someone to visit Eileen's mother just yesterday. Therefore, Renji found the nurse's account—that Eileen's mother had been moved out at noon today—to be quite credible.

Based on this, a new question arose: why was she moved at noon? Was there anything special about this timing?

The answer seemed clear. With a little calculation, Renji figured out that this was likely the time when Eileen and the people from Callewa had left the gathering area to go to the Relic Cave—where he was supposedly "buried."

The last remaining question was: why did Dr. Frederic immediately send Eileen's mother out of the clinic right after Eileen and Callewa's people had left?

A terrible answer formed in Renji's mind.

He hoped he was wrong.
