“My thoughts entirely. But until I’m sure, one way or another…” He blows air, regarding the screen.
“How much of this documentation is there?”
“Years’ worth. Thousands of documents. Needle in a haystack work.”
I mull that one. “If there’s so much paperwork, why not let the police handle it? They have a full team on it. They have specialists in that kind of thing. We’d be better spending our efforts on what only we can do.”
He blinks at me. “You know, you’re right. Sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees.”
