Seraphina wasn't sure if it was luck or someone's doing, but the apartment was conveniently up for rent.
So, she got in touch with the real estate agent, asked to meet the landlord and managed to do so within the apartment.
The apartment was an old-fashioned building, three bedrooms, a living room, furnished, but compared to the age of the apartment, the furniture in the room was clearly new, obviously recently replaced.
"Is all this furniture new?" Seraphina asked, walking around the room.
"Yes." The landlord replied, "These were all replaced when the last tenant moved in, but they didn't stay long, probably only about three months, so everything is still very new."
"They?" Seraphina responded casually, "How many people lived in such a big house?"
"I'm not sure." The landlord said, "The lease was signed with a man."
Seraphina didn't ask further, just nodded and casually asked, "Was he from Sunburst City?"
The landlord was surprised, "How did you know?"
Seraphina glanced at the room's layout and smiled, "The arrangement of these furniture shows the living habits, not like a Moonhaven people's habit, but more like a Sunburst City resident."
So, the landlord gave Seraphina a thumbs up.
"When did they move out?" Seraphina asked again.
The landlord replied, "They left about a month ago, but the lease didn't end until last week, so we just started re-renting."
"Has anyone moved in after they left?"
"No." The landlord said, "Even though they gave me the keys when they left, I didn't give the keys to anyone before the lease ended."
After listening, Seraphina did some mental calculation.
The landlord said the lease was terminated last week, and she received the call from this room a few days ago, which means that after the landlord was preparing to re-rent the house, someone called her from this room.
In addition to the landlord, the keys to the house should also be held by the agency.
People who view the house through the agency will probably leave personal information, but this person who lured her here in such a complicated way may not have left useful information for her.
Seraphina took a deep breath, preparing to be in for a long investigation.
"What do you think?" The landlord asked her when she was almost finished looking around, "Are you satisfied?"
"Very satisfied, extremely satisfied." Seraphina replied, "We can sign the contract right away, I want to move in immediately."
Seeing her so straightforward, the landlord was naturally very pleased, so he immediately signed a six-month lease.
The decision to rent and move in was made within a day, Seraphina naturally didn't have too much luggage, but she believed the process of moving was very important, so she asked Abbot to go to the supermarket to buy a large number of daily necessities.
The purchased goods were stacked in boxes downstairs in the apartment, Seraphina was not in a hurry to move these items upstairs, but took advantage of this time to wander around nearby.
The building where the apartment was located was a bit old, part of the old city area, the surrounding streets were full of life. Seraphina wandered aimlessly around the neighborhood for a while, but didn't leave any deep impressions. The only thing that caught her attention was Mercy LifeCare Hospital she saw in the distance.
She didn't walk to the hospital, roughly estimated, from the apartment to the hospital, it would take about three to five minutes by car, very close.
Seraphina stood quietly on the street, staring at the white hospital building for a long time.
During this time, she could have thought about many things, but she didn't want to.
Not until it was getting dark did Seraphina turn around to go back.
On the way back, she passed a wine shop, so she pushed the door and went in, planning to pick up a couple of bottles of wine to take back.
