After narrowing the scope again, Gu Tao quickly found a female student who perfectly matched the identity of Erya, but her name wasn't Erya—it was Luo Huijuan. An extremely ordinary and common name.
Taking out her student record card, Gu Tao scanned it before leaving the school's archives room and headed straight for the municipal archives bureau.
Because the card not only contained Luo Huijuan's name but also some information about her parents, even though her parents were no longer alive, the archives still held some details. As long as he followed this thread, he could surely find some relatives connected to her.
Technically speaking, since it was confirmed that this was Erya's hometown, Gu Tao could have simply buried her somewhere here and considered his task complete. But he didn't do so because he understood that a place being a home isn't determined by its name; it's defined by whether the city still has someone who matters.
