"Formalin?" Yang Ziping frowned slightly, and then said in confusion: "What is Formalin? Do people in the village have such things?"

I stared at Yang Ziping for about three seconds.

"Sorry." I took a deep breath and nodded at Yang Ziping and walked out of the room.

Formalin is not common. Some people may never know about it in their lifetime, and some people may also be exposed to it for the rest of their lives.

It is difficult for people like Yang Ziping, who are born and raised in Ernst & Young Village to know about formalin. It seems that I am more worried about it.

I speeded up and followed Zhao Jiyou and Jiang Bing.

We have known Anleman’s parents before, and the authentic rural people rarely go out. Even if they go out, they are limited to Xiling City and Qingquan County.

Ten years ago, the old couple became more and more haggard and did not have children. All their thoughts were placed on An Leman. Now that this kind of thing happened, they almost couldn't accept the blow.

An Leman's father was An Chengxu, and his ancestors were all in An Yong Village. An Leman's mother was Zhang Yuling, who was from Zhangjia Village, a village near An Leman.

Instead of rushing to enter the room where Anleman's parents are, we observed quietly for a while through one-sided glass.

An Chengxu and Zhang Yuling's haggardness surprised us a little. They both can be said to no longer secretly wipe their tears at all times.

I could clearly see Zhang Yuling's rough hands slashing her cheeks. The white hair on her head was better than the black hair, and she looked very old.

Zhang Yuling is only in her forties, but now she looks like a person in her fifties should have.

An Chengxu looked no better than Zhang Yuling. He stood alone in the corner with us on his back, smoking a inferior cigarette in a muffled voice.

The feet are already filled with cigarette butts, and it is easy to imagine that the cigarette has not left his mouth for a while.

The not-so-magnificent back swayed slightly, and I knew An Chengxu couldn't help sobbing silently.

I have seen too many separations of life and death. Although I was a little numb to the scenery in front of me, I still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Secretly rubbing my face, I patted Zhao Jiyou and Jiang Bing on the shoulders and walked into the room first.

As soon as the door opened, the strong smell of tobacco came towards me. I opened the door as much as possible to let the smell of smoke inside dissipate.

An Chengxu and Zhang Yuling saw someone coming in and instinctively looked up and turned to look at us.

An Chengxu hurriedly threw the cigarette that he had not finished smoking on the ground and stepped on it.

"Police...comrade police, I...we." Zhang Yuling looked at us and pointed at An Chengxu. She didn't know what to say.

I comforted them and asked them to sit down first, and poured them a glass of water to signal them to drink.

Zhang Yuling took the water cup with trembling hands but did not go to drink it.

I sat across from them and whispered to them: "The reason we came to you is to investigate what happened to your daughter."

Speaking of the word "daughter", the two of them couldn't help but cover their faces and burst into tears again.

Hot tears flowed slowly across their cheeks.

Jiang Bing took out a few pieces of paper and handed it to Zhang Yuling to try to comfort them.

I think if the shriveled female corpse An Chengxu and Zhang Yuling were not found, maybe it wouldn't be so painful, but the appearance of the shriveled female corpse directly disrupted the normal life of An Chengxu and Zhang Yuling.

It can be said that they directly uncovered their old scar that was gradually healing.

After nearly three minutes, the two of them gradually improved a little. I got up and closed the door of the room and returned to my seat.

"Comrade Police, if you have anything you want to ask, please ask." Zhang Yuling wiped her tears with paper and suppressed the pain in her heart. She spoke tremblingly.

Jiang Bing winked at me, meaning that he asked me to ask.

I am not good at speaking very much, which makes me really afraid that if I say something wrong, I will make them both sad.

After hesitating for a moment, I opened my mouth and said, "I think you all know what happened before. We mainly want to confirm whether the female corpse I found was your daughter Anleman."

"Yes, this is absolutely impossible to be wrong..." An Xuwen answered our words without hesitation.

Zhao Jiyou frowned and said, "Why are you so sure that the female corpse is your daughter?"

"Scar!" An Chengxu swallowed and said nervously: "My daughter has a very long scar on her right arm. The scar was scratched at school at that time. And the scar also damaged the bones. That...the body also had a scar on the right arm."

"It's a bit a hasty to make sure she is your daughter just because she's an old scar." Jiang Bing answered quietly.

Now we mainly want to figure out the identity of the shriveled female corpse. If the shriveled female corpse is really Anleman, then this case will be redefined.

"Comrade police, how could we parents not even recognize our daughter? Manman was grown up by our old couple. Even if we were like that, we could recognize her." Zhang Yuling sobbed and took a deep breath.

At the end of the story, An Chengxu suddenly stood up and took out a stack of yellowed paper from the bag he carried with him and handed it to us: "This... this is a photo of our Manman ten years ago and some basic information. It contains Manman's height and blood type, and we have been keeping it. See if you can help you."

I saw a lit up before my eyes, which I took the stack of information from An Chengxu, and compared it carefully with the information of the shriveled female corpse.

We can only judge Anleman's physical characteristics and height, and we have no idea how to start with blood.

In the end, we found that the similarity between the shriveled female corpse and Anleman reached 99%.

In other words... the shriveled female corpse is very likely to be An Leman.

"Comrade... Comrade, if this cannot be proved, I have something to do with it." Zhang Yuling said tremblingly.

An Chengxu seemed to know what Zhang Yuling was going to say, and without waiting for her to speak, she grabbed Zhang Yuling hard and didn't let her continue to say anything.

"Lao An, do you still have any conscience? What happened to me when my daughter is like this? Do you don't care about your daughter at all?"

Perhaps because of An Chengxu's stopping, Zhang Yulan suddenly stood up and pointed at An Chengxu crying and accused him.

An Chengxu was speechless and sighed heavily and turned his head away without further talking.

We kept watching them both of them being a little confused.

Zhang Yuling took a deep breath and told us: "At the beginning, we only knew something was wrong, but we didn't know what happened. Until Yang Ziping told us that the body of my daughter was found, I felt it was impossible. My daughter had been burned to death by the fire ten years ago. How could there be a body of my daughter?

I told Lao An about this, and Lao An said that no matter what, we went over and took a look first. Then we rushed to the police station. When we arrived at the police station, we recognized the Manman who had become that look like that at first glance..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuling couldn't help sobbing softly again.

"My Lao An and I couldn't believe that Manman was buried behind the village after something happened. How could he appear here for no reason? And... and this is the same. When we left the Public Security Bureau, Lao An and I felt that there was something wrong with us, so... so we went to the place where Manman was buried."

"What did you see?"

Zhang Yuling finally reached the point, and I straightened my waist and stared at her without turning my eyes.

"See...See..." Zhang Yuling whimpered without saying anything.

"Seeing Manman's grave was scattered!"

The following words were said by An Chengxu, and he covered his head and burst into tears.

We looked at each other in shock.

But after the shock, I slowly calmed down.

I had previously guessed that An Leman might have walked out of the classroom and escaped from the fire scene because of playing, but we had no clues about where she went after she left the classroom.

So since she escaped from the fire scene, how did the subsequent burial form?

An Leman must be buried during the burial, but if I follow my guess, An Leman will no longer be in the classroom, then who is buried?

Or... my guess was completely wrong, An Leman was in the classroom at that time.

But this is not right. If An Leman was in the classroom at that time, then if the shriveled female corpse was An Leman ten years ago, how could there be no sign of burn on her body?

No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to burn the corpses to ashes, right?

What we learned from Yang Ziping and An Chengxu and his wife once again overturned our previous speculations. The confusion and weirdness of the case became increasingly serious, making us feel that we had nowhere to be found.

"What else do you see besides seeing An Leman's grave being opened?" I held back my curiosity and quietly asked.

Zhang Yuling took a sip of water and whimpered, "The village was still buried ten years ago. When I was buried, I saw my daughter's body buried in the soil with my own eyes. But when we went there, we found that the grave was opened and the bones...the bones were gone."

"The bones are gone?" I was a little surprised.

An Chengxu nodded heavily and said, "It's gone, nothing is left. We were afraid that this incident would cause panic among the villagers, so we secretly filled Manman's grave with the child's mother."

"You filled in the grave again?" Jiang Bing stood up with a frown and said, "How can you do this?"

Jiang Bing probably wanted to find some clues from the cemetery, but now An Chengxu and his wife filled in the grave, which means it is unknown whether this matter is true.

But I think An Chengxu and his wife should have no reason to joke about such things.

I pulled Jiang Bing's corner of the clothes and told her not to get angry and sat down and said slowly. Jiang Bing sat down helplessly and stopped talking.

"When Anleman was buried ten years ago, can you confirm that the body was Anleman himself?" I continued to ask.

An Chengxu and Zhang Yuling looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.

After pondering for a moment, An Chengxu said, "At that time... I really couldn't confirm it."

"At that time, the body was burned to the dark, and it was difficult to find whose child it was. Moreover, there were so many people in a class, it was even more difficult to find."

"In other words... you are not sure if An Leman is buried right?" I nodded in understanding.

An Chengxu and Zhang Yuling looked at each other and nodded heavily.

After asking all the questions, Wen Rong sent Yang Ziping and An Chengxu and his wife back to An Yong Village.

Before leaving, An Chengxu begged to take An Leman's body back for burial, but we refused. Now the case cannot be solved, and the only body cannot be buried.

Although it is now possible to confirm that the shriveled female corpse is An Leman, there are several confusion points on this female corpse. We will not allow An Chengxu to take away the corpse without unraveling these confusion points.

When we returned to the conference room, we found that three extra lunch boxes were released in the conference room.

We thought it was Wenrong who was doing it, so we didn't care about it and started eating it. We didn't eat all the way, and now we are a little hungry.

But soon I found something was wrong.

Jiang Bing and Zhao Jiyou had braised pork and tomato scrambled eggs in their lunch boxes, and the same was true in my bowl. The difference is that there was an extra egg in my bowl.

Just when I was confused and didn't know what was going on, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked a few times.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure that made me familiar with appeared in front of the door. She held the door and pointed at me gently and said, "Certainly, can you come out?"
