Ten minutes later, Wang Zhaokai met Chen Meimei's parents.
The two elderly people were almost sixty years old.
They also had two sons living in the village.
Regarding Chen Meimei's death, according to the elderly couple, their daughter married out that year and died suddenly from an illness.
"Did you see your daughter for the last time?"
Wang Zhaokai had already collected blood samples from the elderly couple, planning to perform a DNA screening when he returned to Haizhou City.
Chen Meimei's father looked very aged, with years of heavy farm work bowing his spine, his face weather-beaten, appearing to be about seventy years old.
"No, we were not able to see her; she was already cremated when we got there."
However, Chen Meimei's husband did give the elderly a large sum of money.
"He said Meimei died because he did not take good care of her, and it was compensation for us."
The elderly seemed not very emotional about the events from back then, their voice calm as they spoke.
