No matter how Chen Ran thought about it, he really couldn't figure it out, and the boiling Peking skull would be in such a small storeroom.

He had seen a lot of information about the skull of the Pekingese, not only had he seen it, but Yang Long and several of them had discussed its whereabouts when they were at school.

Of course, at that time, they were discussing this purely for idle thought, and he naturally did not think that one day he would see this thing with his own eyes.

According to the information, at the beginning, the fossil skull of Peking Man excavated by them in Jalanpo in Fijian has been preserved in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, which belonged to the Rockefeller Consortium in the United States at that time.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, the Japanese army invaded Beijing, but because the Union Hospital was an institution controlled by the United States at that time, the Peking Man fossils were still "safe" in this "safe".

By 1941, relations between Japan and the United States were becoming increasingly strained. In order to prevent the fossils of "Peking Man" from being snatched away by the Japanese invaders, there were three options: one was to transport the fossils to Chongqing, the rear area during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; the second is to stay in Beijing and find a proper place to secretly collect it; The third is to find a way to send it to the United States for temporary safekeeping. Subsequently, it was decided to go with the third option.

In early December 1941, the "Peking Man" fossils, packed in two large wooden boxes, were handed over to the U.S. Navy 6 Squadron, which was about to leave Beijing and withdraw to the United States.

Unfortunately, however, the Pearl Harbor attack broke out at this time, and the Japanese army quickly dispatched to occupy the relevant US offices in Beijing, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao and other places, and the whereabouts of the Peking man's skull have been unknown since then.

Since then, the search for the whereabouts of the Peking Man skull has not stopped, after the end of World War II, the United States, China and Japan have been searched, and the new government after the founding of New China also began to find, and in the 70s, the topic of finding the Peking Man skull became hot again, and then in 1998, the academician of the Academy of Sciences with Jia Lanpo as the academician began to look for it again, and in 2oo5, a working committee was set up to find the Peking Man skull, however, so far it has not been found.

After searching for so many years, the thing has not been found, and there are more and more theories about its whereabouts, some simply say that it has been destroyed in the war, while some think that the preciousness of the skull of the "Peking Man" cannot be destroyed in the war, and some have become vague because they have not found it for so many years, and they can't tell clearly, after all, in the war, if it is gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, it may be preserved, but a few dead people's bones...... Not every Japanese soldier had such a high level of knowledge, and in that era, information was not good, let alone ordinary Japanese soldiers, and even senior officers could not necessarily recognize this as a Peking skull, and even if they recognized it as a scholar-type officer, they would not necessarily value it.

There are several theories that say that zài still exists, some say that it is in Japan.

First, this theory is that the train transporting fossils was looted by the Japanese army in Tianjin.

Later, after the Japanese army occupied Beijing, it conducted a close search of the Union Hospital, which had stored the fossils of "Peking Man". It is likely that the fossils were eventually brought to Japan or even to the Japanese people.

Others said that the "Peking Man Skull" should have been lost on the "President Harrison," a transport ship from Peking to Qinhuangdao, and that the "President Harrison" was sunk halfway because it was chased by Japanese ships.

In addition, it is said that the skull of the Pekingese was not sent to the President Harrison, but was secretly escorted to the United States through other channels, and then the same was lost to the people, and some people even claimed to have seen their photos.

The last statement is that it was on the "Awa Maru".

This statement on the "Awa Maru" is the most widely circulated and the most popular believer, for which the government even organized professionals to salvage the "Awa Maru" wreck, although the salvage results did not find the "Peking Man skull". However, the salvage personnel found the small official seal and round inkstone of Zheng Yu, a puppet Manchukuo dignitary.

Because the "Awa Maru" detoured from Singapore and did not pass through northern China, some people believe that the "Peking Man skull" could not be on the "Awa Maru", but from this official seal and round inkstone of Zheng Yu's family collection, it can be inferred that the ship carried a large number of treasures from northern China, which also shows that the "Awa Maru" is very likely to be loaded with "Peking Man skull".

But apparently this statement is a bit unreliable, just because the ship carried a large number of northern treasures, and the "Peking Man skull" must be among them?

Besides, the "Awa Maru" has also been salvaged by 70 percent, isn't there no trace of the "Peking Man skull" yet? Not to mention the Peking Man skull, even other bone fossils have not been found.

As a result, there has been a growing controversy over the claim that the skull of the "Peking Man" was on the "Awa Maru", but some experts insist that this is due to the incomplete previous salvage work, and they are even actively promoting the re-salvage of the Awa Maru.

Obviously, even if they salvage the Awa Maru again, it is impossible to find the "Pekingese" skull, because the Pekingese skull is not on the Awa Maru at all.

Regarding the fact that the Peking skull would appear in such a storage room, although Chen Ran was puzzled, he also imagined a lot of possibilities.

The first thing that can be determined is that the Peking Man skull did fall into the hands of the Japanese.

And the situation after falling into the hands of the Japanese is obviously not easy to say, it may be that the other party does not know what it is from beginning to end, it is possible that the other party knows but is not interested, but just took apart a bone fossil on it and saw the appearance of the "bone" and did not look at it again.

This is not impossible, after all, the importance of the Peking Man skull was after the end of World War II, and it was difficult to say whether Japan knew this thing at that time, and even if it knew, it may just be regarded as an antique in the Forbidden City, and the strict search of the Union Hospital after the occupation of Beijing was not necessarily to find the Beijing Man skull, and it is not excluded that some experts imposed a reason to make people believe their speculation.

As for why it ended up in the hands of the owner of this storeroom, it obviously has something to do with the hobby of the owner of this storeroom, judging from the other party's collection of fossils, if not an expert in this field, then he is a lover in this area.

It may be because of this that someone saw that it contained fossils and gave them to him, or of course, it could be that he himself appeared in a warehouse and saw the fossils in them and took them for himself.

The only thing that made Chen Ran a little puzzled was why the owner of the storage room didn't open it to see, only the two bones on the two boxes of fossils were disassembled, and the others were all preserved intact, it is said that the other party is a lover of this aspect, so how should he know something about the Peking Man skull, if he knew that the box contained the Peking Man skull, then he would open it anyway.

From this point, it undoubtedly shows that the other party probably did not know that it contained a Peking Man skull, and only regarded it as an ordinary fossil, and then forgot about it, or had an accident before he had time to look at the other party.

There may be too many of them, and if there is no written record, obviously no one can say what is going on, but the general main line can undoubtedly be imagined.

……

"What is this?"

Seeing that Chen Ran was so interested in a skull, Officer Yuan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but ask, fortunately, there were many animal fossils in the storage room, so she knew that this skull should also be a fossil, otherwise seeing Chen Ran was so precious about a skull, I am afraid that she would have to think about whether Chen Ran had a special hobby if she didn't think about it.

Chen Ran was stunned by her question, and then smiled: "Of course it's a good thing, you know the skull of Beijingers, right?" That is, it is not good to say that it is our ancestor 10,000 years ago. ”

Officer Yuan was surprised, but not too surprised, for it was clear that she did not know what the Peking Man skull meant.

Chen Ran didn't get too entangled in the reason why the Peking Man skull would be placed in such a storage room, these questions should be left to those experts and scholars to study, I believe they will be very happy to study this issue, and they can also give you a lot of claims and evidence.

Chen Ran didn't look at the other skulls anymore, and when he opened this skull, he really couldn't believe it and wanted to see it with his own eyes, in fact, there was no difference between seeing it with his own ability and seeing it with his own eyes, and he even looked at it more carefully.

Wrapping the skull in a few layers of cotton cloth on the outside and putting it in the box, Chen Ran thought about what to do with it.

He didn't want to keep it for himself, if it was other treasures, he might still have this idea, but this kind of thing, he didn't have such an idea at all, after all, this thing is mainly for research, and it would be too much to collect it yourself.

Chen Ran was thinking about how to bring things back, it is said that this underground fortress is currently only known to him, he can completely put the things here while he goes to the contact and waits for someone to send someone to receive it, but in doing so, he obviously can't rest assured, who knows if the news will leak out and then someone will take it away in advance, to say that there is no foreign spy in the country, he doesn't believe it, and once the other party learns the news, he will inevitably snatch it at any cost, so he doesn't even want to leave things here.

The other fossils in the storage room could be left here first, but he had to take the cranium with him, and since he had found it, it couldn't be lost from him.

"Turn off the lights."

Now the Peking Man skull, Chen Ran has no interest in other fossils, he picked up the two boxes and planned to leave, when he saw that the lamps he turned on were still on, he told Officer Yuan to turn them off, and after turning them off, he greeted the giant snake waiting at the door and returned to the cave from the same way, and then drilled out of the cave and out of the mountain crack.

When he drilled out of the hole, Chen Ran temporarily blocked the entrance of the cave, and he also covered the mouth of the mountain again, so that no one would stray into the fortress before it was blocked.

After looking at it, he felt that there was no problem, so he didn't say much, and let the giant snake lead the way, and the two followed behind, what Chen Ran didn't expect was that they met a few people not far away.

Chen Ran checked it, and now the other party was the soldiers who he and Officer Yuan inadvertently bumped into when they entered the mountain before.

At that time, the other party knew that someone had broken in, so they set up a net to search, but they didn't expect them to search here.

There were seven or eight people on the other side, who were talking and laughing around the fire while boiling water, and after seeing them, after thinking about it, Chen Ran didn't hide it, not only did he not hide, but he walked directly towards them.
