By now, he had disappeared from sight, but the image of his retreating figure lingered in her mind.

She compared it to the person in the photo-almost an exact match.

But relying on mere similarities in body shape seemed unreliable.

After all, many people share similar features, and even their postures can resemble one another.

Isabel touched her chin thoughtfully, pondering. After a pause, she made a decision. She would find a way to visit the Nelsons' place and look deeper into this.
