After leaving that religious sanctuary, Xu Huo finally figured out what had happened.
After he disappeared from the engineer's house, the Girl in the Painting went all around Jiguanhua City searching for him. However, it was difficult for her to communicate, and without a photo of Xu Huo, she could only give a vague description of him. Based on her description, everyone in the city resembled the person she was looking for. Moreover, people were unwilling to help her without reason, so she used the money Xu Huo had given her to pay people to aid her search.
Initially, she offered that anyone who had seen Xu Huo and informed her could receive more money.
Then, more people came to claim the money. As the crowd grew, it was too time-consuming to explain in detail, so she hired someone to help her explain, condensing the message to just "Find Passerby A."
