Well, this is at least something we can discuss.
- It might be the situation when A.I. is unaware but has own ideas, right or wrong, and may be afraid to know more.
- another thing I am thinking of is the house. What purpose does it serve? It could be just emotional - the last thing left of that family. We do visit gravesites, right? There is nothing there, but I guess it is the place to come back to our memories, the last connection between us and the departed. Maybe this is all the house is to An.
- However, sometimes I think, old houses might be rebuilt many times. That house looks strange, more like an agglomeration of swallows’ nests, as if it was expanded from time to time. What if there is something peculiar about its construction that is unseen from the inside or outside, but will inevitably be noticed if the house is demolished in a planned way? If it collapses, it is a pile of rubbish. If a quake destroys it, it is destroyed, period. But planned demolition might uncover something interesting.
So I don’t know what tools are used to detect, say, cavities under the house? A thermal radar or something else? I wonder if the police has examined the area under the foundation? I know they have made a 3d model, but they might have assumed that the foundation is solid, and it may be not. Or, there could be something underneath the foundation. This is what has come to my mind.
