Xiaolang Li shared a photo. 6/18 near Birch Hills

The man in the first photo is my cousin and legal guardian, Leon Zhong. He hasn't been home since yesterday afternoon, and some of his Retrospec-related items seem to be missing. The woman in the second photo is his girlfriend, Mio Sonozaki. She's the most likely candidate of people he may have been with, but I haven't been able to get in touch with her since last night. If anyone has seen either of them in the past 24 hours, please let me know. It's of the utmost importance.

I can't say. He was home when I went out yesterday, but he wasn't there when I got back or went to bed... I thought he was just staying out late, though. I didn't see or hear him when I woke up this morning either. It's possible he may have left earlier in the day, but we're usually awake around the same time...

The university and the library are my best guesses, but some of his classmates already told me they haven't seen him there.

As for his girlfriend... I have no idea. I don't know her usual locations, and even if I did, I think she'd be avoiding them.

Would you like me to come by and take a look around your place? Maybe my CSI training can notice things you aren't. And if his phone's still on I might be able to track it.

[And this is why it pays to have connections with someone in CSI!!!]

... if you can, that would be a huge help, actually. I was going to call the police earlier, but with everything the way it is now, I didn't think anyone was going to respond. I'm not sure who else on the force aside from you is even part of the network to begin with.

Is it really possible to do that, though? His phone isn't here, so if his battery hasn't died yet, that could give us some answers.

There's Tatsuo who is also a CSI and there is Togusa who is a cop.

And yes it's possible to do that, though I may need to get on my computer at work because it does take some security clearance to do it. Perhaps we should also drop by the crime lab after I look through the apartment? Since there's only Retrospec people in town, it's not like boss is going to stop me from using the lab for more personal reasons.
