So, she hurriedly told the old man, “I’ll review the information about the missing persons first. If I still can’t find anything, you should help me retrieve information about the relevant persons who have died.”
The old man nodded. “No problem!”
Vera looked at the laptop again and returned to the information about the first person before she began screening them one by one.
Soon, a black and white photo appeared in front of her eyes, causing her eyes to widen.
The boy in this black and white photo looked just about six or seven years old. The boy looked handsome, and his features and charm seemed familiar to Vera.
She then looked at the boy’s information and muttered, “Charlie Wade, a native of Eastcliff, the son of Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker…”
“Charlie studied in Eastcliff Second Experimental Primary School twenty-one years ago, then transferred to Aurous Hill First Primary School twenty years ago. He then disappeared, and information in his file was never updated again…”
When the old man heard her muttering, he could not help but say, “Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker? This couple was a very powerful couple in Eastcliff more than twenty years ago!”
Vera asked, “You’ve heard of them?”
Vera suddenly thought of something, then pointed to the eight-year-old Charlie’s string of local Eastcliff identification numbers and said, “By the way, didn’t you say that if it’s the second encryption method, you'll be able to find out the encrypted information if you have both the name and the identification number? Help me to look up Charlie’s name with this identification number and see if you can find any results then.”
“Okay!” The old man was also a little excited and immediately opened a background on his laptop and entered Charlie’s name and his original identification number in it.
After that, the two checked the results with great anticipation, only to find that the information returned by the system was still the missing file of Charlie, who was eight-year-old.
Vera frowned. “Why can’t we find out anything? Could it be that someone gave him a new identity?”
