Directly ahead was a wall, covered with a corkboard, which was entirely filled with photos pinned up with thumbtacks.
Li Li, Liu Meiling, Zhang Fangfang, Xu Qingquan, Xu Qingshu, Kong Wanshan, Li Li's nanny Liu Zhen, Xu Qingshu's two children, even these people's vehicles, residences, companies, training classes, parents, colleagues, and so on.
One could say that these hundreds of photos encompassed all information about these nine individuals. Even next to the photos, there were printed slips of paper with detailed notes on them, such as hobbies and allergies, who was related to whom and how, connected by lines, unimaginably thorough.
But upon closer inspection, you would notice many holes in the board, and a box of used thumbtacks lay discarded on the floor.
Xu Dayuan stared at the corkboard, examining it thoroughly.
"Have you noticed what's missing from here?"
