Absent

Billionaire Ji Jin mysteriously disappeared on the top resort island "Fantasy Island" he built. The surveillance did not capture him leaving, the search and rescue team could not find him, and the entire island was still operating perfectly - the hotels were full, the bars were full, and the laughter of tourists was as tireless as the waves. Only Ji Jin's 18-year-old daughter, Ji Honglie, could hear the terrible silence in this dazzling bustle. She has a rare form of hyperamnesia that allows her to remember every detail accurately. Replaying every detail of the 37 hours before her father disappeared in her mind - the angle of lighting, pauses in words, facial expressions - she firmly believed that this was not an accident. Guided by the secret clues left by her father, she summoned four strange "helpers" - a logician who is so calm that he is almost cruel, an engineer who only believes in data and probability, a psychological profiler who specializes in human nature, and a former investigator who has personally uncovered countless truths. They knew each other but never really trusted each other; they had both benefited from Ji Jin, and they might have been the reason for his disappearance. Everyone on the island is smiling, but the red hyperamnesia captures countless cracks in the moment: the trembling of the butler's fingertips, the hesitation of the secretary, the eyes of the gardener avoiding the camera... The clues lead them to the depths of the island, to another side of their father that has never been shown to anyone. As the investigation gets deeper and deeper, Honglie begins to wonder - does his father really want to be found? Or is it that the disappearance itself is the... Final test that he wants everyone to take part in? This is a suspense novel about memory, control and free will. It is also a cruel and sober coming-of-age ceremony designed by a father for his daughter.
