Kerii took the piece of paper and looked it over. The address was not one that was very close by, but at least a good ten minute walk. "This is on the very outskirts of Orchidia," she said in a rather unsurprised tone. While most of Orchidia's business happened near the center, where things were less broken and plants were not as overgrown, there were still areas of Orchidia where this was not the case. Towards the outskirts, it was not uncommon to find abandoned buildings being crowded and damaged by moss, vines, and mold that found itself right at home. Very few people lived in the outskirts for that very reason, but there were a few habitable homes. While she didn't expect the now deceased man to have ever lived there, it would doubtlessly work for a good hideout.
"What do you want me to do? Is there anything else he mentioned in his hideout?" Kerii asked, to which Inspector Nilan shook his head. "No, he only mentioned his place, but I'm sure there is some valuable information there. Anything that looks suspicious, bring it back to me." The elf folded her arms across her chest and nodded her head. That was doable. "Alright," she responded. With that said, she exited Inspector Nilan's office and began making her way over to Orchidia's outskirts.
It always amazed the elf how vastly different the buildings were in the centre of Orchidia compared to the outer parts. Yes, there were still plants flourishing all over, but combined with the workmanship and design of the newer buildings, it didn't look so bad. When many people first enter Orchidia though, they are met with a hodgepodge of crumbling buildings which are largely uninhabitable. As you go closer to the centre, buildings start to appear better maintained, but they still would not be the best to live in; however, people with not as much money are able to make due in them. If Orchidia gained more money and funding, she was sure that those homes would start to become more developed, and the same would happen to the other parts of her town as well. It would take time, but eventually the outermost parts of the town would look more like the centre.
As Kerii walked towards the address listed on the piece of paper, she could see those very changes in the architecture of her town. Even the overall style of buildings had notable differences, leading to the assumption that many buildings were torn down and rebuilt, rather than being touched up or had additions build onto them. Eventually, Kerii came across the culprit's home. It looked like the rest of the buildings surrounding it, save for a few less plants here and there. It looked slightly more taken care of on the outside, but not so much that someone would become suspicious of it. If Kerii was walking by, she certainly wouldn't assume that it was a hideout, but its address indeed matched the one she held in her hand.
