Yao Jingjing was at the Institute of biology of Southern Yunnan University, waiting for a special test result.
The theft of cuanjia village finally ended. The police station sent people to visit the old house and cemetery, but found nothing. Before and after the accident, there were no strangers in the village. In addition, there was no loss of any actual property. Only an old photo album was lost. The police left after making a simple inquiry and recording. If the old lady's grave had not been dug, it would have been impossible to file a case.
When Yao Jingjing arrived at cuanjia village, the police had already left. She went to grandma's cemetery. There were signs that the grave had been dug, and it seemed to have been dug with her claws. This is the strangest place. Because of this, the village was afraid and said that the old lady had climbed out of the grave by herself.
Yao Jingjing certainly doesn't believe this kind of thing. She carefully looked around the cemetery, because the whole village had seen it. The footprints here were very messy. Like the police who had come, she couldn't identify the footprints of the tomb robbers. Maybe the tomb robbers didn't leave footprints.
But she didn't get nothing. In the newly dug mud beside the grave, she found a red hair wrapped around the root of a vine grass on the ground. Who will bow his head at the edge of the grave so that his hair is entangled by the dead vines on the ground?
She quietly returned to the village and went through the whole village. She didn't find anyone dyeing her hair red.
There was no result, so everyone had to fill the old lady's grave again. What should we do or what should we do. Only Yao's mother was so sad that she sighed all day and said to Yao Jingjing:
"Where did you say your great grandmother went? Where could she disappear?"
Yao Jingjing sent her parents back to the city, stayed with them for two days, and then went to Chuncheng. She contacted Shi Dazhuang and asked him to help introduce the people of Chuncheng Public Security Bureau and identify the red hair. Results the people from the physical evidence identification center of the Public Security Bureau said that the hair was broken, there was no hair follicle, DNA could not be extracted, and the keratin in the hair was seriously degraded, indicating that the hair was not now, for decades at least. The physical evidence identification center mainly makes criminal related identification. If you want to know more information about this hair, it is suggested that she had better go to the Institute of biology of Southern Yunnan University for further identification.
Yao Jingjing didn't know anyone from the Institute of biology, so she called Professor Mei. Without asking anything, the professor introduced her to the president of Yunnan University. The president introduced the director of the Institute of biology to her, and the director introduced a young associate professor to deal with the hair.
The associate professor didn't know why the school asked him to stop his project and help a woman identify a hair without saying the direction of identification. He seemed reluctant, but he didn't want to make the hard woman in the background unhappy, so he took his hair to do the experiment and only asked Yao Jingjing to wait for two days.
Taking advantage of these two days, Yao Jingjing took the old photos left by the old lady to an art micro spray studio in Chuncheng for repair.
The young man in the studio is very responsible. After scanning the photos, he starts to repair them bit by bit with PS on the computer. If the damage is serious, he has to consult Yao Jingjing.
Yao Jingjing said, "you fix it according to your experience. I haven't seen what the photos look like."
The young man said, "nothing else. I'm afraid that people's facial features are out of shape. These photos are too old. You can't see their faces when you look at this one."
"It's the same person. You can refer to each other."
Yao Jingjing thinks the most regrettable thing is that the photo of grandma and a man under the big tree is missing. She wanted to see the man. When she saw the picture, she always felt very familiar. Unfortunately, the picture was too blurred. She didn't know whether it was a person or a scene.
The young man repaired a picture of the old lady in military uniform and said, "look at this one. Is it OK?"
Yao Jingjing kept looking at it and said, "OK, good."
The young man exclaimed, "this woman is very beautiful!"
Yao Jingjing said proudly, "of course!"
The young man said, "Hey, it's really a heroine. I didn't see it at first. I thought I was a man in military uniform. I can't find such a heroic and beautiful woman these days."
Heroic and beautiful?
Yao Jingjing somehow remembered the flower of her life, and then looked at the repaired photo of her grandmother. She felt that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the flower of her life.
She thought of the lost picture again, and she saw the picture of flowers and green trees all her life under the big willow tree. There was a crow standing on the tree, croaking there.
She shook her head and threw these strange ideas away from her mind. When she looked at the photos again, although she could not avoid the appearance of lifelong flowers, it was easier to think of her mother. After all, her mother inherited her grandmother's beauty, Yao Jingjing thought.
After the photos were repaired, they were all printed on Epson's machine with hanemler's art paper. The young man said that this micro spray art can ensure that it will not fade for 150 years. Yao Jingjing doesn't know whether it's true or not. She only knows that the price is not cheap. However, no matter how long the photos can be saved, she also thinks it's worth the effort of others to repair the pictures and the retained electronic manuscripts.
The results of the institute came out. The reluctant associate professor suddenly seemed a little excited. Before he said the result, he asked Yao Jingjing where the hair came from. Of course, Yao Jingjing won't tell the truth. She casually said that she was entrusted by her friend, and she didn't know.
The associate professor asked, "is your friend archaeological? Did you find anything else?"
Yao Jingjing looked puzzled. She didn't know why he asked so, so she stopped talking.
The associate professor said "Oh" as if he understood it, "understand, don't say it." then he handed Yao Jingjing a file bag and said:
"It can be determined that this hair is not modern. After our detection, it should be 3000 years or more ago. Although the keratin in it has been significantly degraded, and there are too few samples to extract its DNA, its genetic characteristics can be detected through SNP detection. This should be a European hair 3000 years ago, which belongs to pure hair The red haired race, which now accounts for less than 2% of the global population, and most of them are not so pure. You... "
He paused, a little mysterious, "your friend, we can cooperate if you like."
Yao Jingjing was stunned and asked, "what cooperation?"
The associate professor said: "If you found it in Europe, you should not go back to China for testing. If you found it in China, it would be a great event! It is likely to overturn some conclusions on ethnic distribution and population genetics. You know, universities are very generous to this event that can cause a sensation in academic circles. They can apply for very objective funds and achieve results There are also rewards, which are much more than your hard work, and there is no risk... "
Yao Jingjing suddenly felt very funny. Originally, she just wanted to investigate the theft of grandma's grave. How did it become a major event in the academic community? Together, she regarded me as a grave robber!
She didn't want to explain anything, so she casually answered "I'll go back and ask my friend", took the file bag and left.
The whole thing was completely lost. Why did a European hair thousands of years ago appear on Grandma's grave? Where was the old lady's body? Was it stolen, or was she not in the grave?
I don't know what to think. Yao Jingjing decides to go back to Wuzhong first. There are still a lot of things there. After going back, you can also ask Professor Mei to ask about this hair. Some things can also be discussed with Hou Biao. That guy has an almost abnormal intuition about dangerous and strange things, which may have been practiced in the jungle in the past.
She calculated the time. It was time for Shi Dazhuang and the beauty to return, so she called Shi Dazhuang and asked if they wanted to go together. As a result, Shi Dazhuang said something had happened to yuziba and she couldn't go for a while, so she asked her to go back first.
