"Yes."
"So, you must be the daughter he took in to raise after his eldest daughter died?"
"Yes." Manman's second response was somewhat subdued.
Jiang Yan took her hand.
"This is the situation: the case has developed to the point where our colleagues are asking him where he buried his eldest daughter. Because it was said that after the child's bones were excavated from the dry well, no further forensic identification was conducted."
At that time, Grandma Wen confessed to having killed the child in the dry well. Everyone was convinced it was certainly that child. If forensic identification was to be carried out, it couldn't be done locally; the remains had to be moved to the municipal authorities. Wen Shixuan thought that his daughter dying in such a way was already pitiful enough, and that it would be unbearable to disturb her after death like this. He advocated against conducting further identification, instead returning home to find a place to quietly bury the child.
