The layout of the Abandoned Capital Parlor was different from others.
A normal parlor would have the mourning hall and crematorium all connected; after paying last respects to the corpse in the mourning hall, it would be directly taken to the crematorium for incineration.
However, the parlor near Grey Alley, located between the slums of Black Street and the residential areas of common people, was somewhat tainted with undesirable affairs, and it also had a spacious morgue and an autopsy room.
"People die every day in Black Street. In the beginning, nobody dealt with those bodies, but they were prone to causing epidemics and polluting the water supply. Later, probably someone higher up couldn't stand it anymore and donated a sum of money here. The interest from that money is used to deal with the corpses from Black Street—of course, only the ones that can be found."
The staff member was leading the three of them towards the morgue as he explained.
