Yao Jingjing was at the Institute of Biology at Yunnan University at this time, waiting for the results of a special test.

The theft of the village was eventually resolved. The police station sent people to look at the old house and cemetery, but found nothing. Before and after the accident, there were no strangers in the village, and there was no actual loss of property, only an old photo album, and the police left after making simple inquiries and records. If it weren't for the old lady's grave being dug up, which made people panic, it is estimated that it would not have been possible to file a case.

By the time Yao Jingjing arrived at the village, the police had already left. She went to see Grandma's grave, and the grave did show signs of being dug up, and it seemed to have been cut open with her claws, which was the strangest place. It is precisely because of this that the people in the village are afraid, saying that the old lady has crawled out of the grave by herself.

Of course, Yao Jingjing didn't believe in such a thing. She looked carefully around the cemetery, because the whole village had come to see it, and the footprints here were already very messy, and she, like the police who had come, had not been able to identify the footprints of the grave robbers, and perhaps the grave robbers had not left footprints.

But she didn't find nothing, and in the newly dug mud pile by the grave, she picked up a red hair that was wrapped around the root of a vine grass on the ground. Who would bow his head at the grave so that his hair became tangled in the dead vines on the ground?

She quietly returned to the village and went through the whole village, and found no one dyed her hair red.

There was no result, and everyone had to refill the old lady's grave, and how should life be. Only Yao's mother was sad, sighed all day long, and said to Yao Jingjing:

"Where did you say your grandmother went? How can it be gone? ”

Yao Jingjing sent her parents back to the city, stayed with them for two days, and then went to Spring City. She contacted Shi Dazhuang and asked him to help introduce the people from the Chuncheng City Public Security Bureau and take the red hair for identification. As a result, the people from the Physical Evidence Identification Center of the Public Security Bureau said that this hair was broken, there were no hair follicles, DNA could not be extracted, and the keratin degradation of the hair was serious, indicating that this hair was not the current one, let alone decades. If you want to know more about this hair, it is recommended that she go to the Institute of Biology of Yunnan University for further identification.

Yao Jingjing didn't know anyone from the Institute of Biology, so she called Professor Mei. The professor was very cheerful, and without asking anything, he introduced her to the president of Yunnan University, and 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 the project he was working on to help a woman identify a hair, and he didn't say the direction of the identification. He didn't seem very reluctant, but he didn't want to upset this woman who was very hard in the "backstage", so he took his hair and went to the experiment, only letting Yao Jingjing wait for two days.

Yao Jingjing took the opportunity of the past two days to take the old photos left by the old lady to an art giclee print studio in Spring City for restoration.

The young man in the studio is very responsible, and after scanning the photos, he began to repair them on the computer with PS little by little, and Yao Jingjing's opinion was consulted on the seriously damaged places.

Yao Jingjing said: "You can repair according to your experience, and I haven't seen what the photos look like." ”

The young man said: "There is nothing else, I am afraid that people's facial features will be out of shape, these photos are too old, you look at this, you can't see the face." ”

"It's all the same person, you refer to each other."

Yao Jingjing felt that the most regrettable thing was that the photo of Grandma Tai and a man under the big tree was missing. She really wanted to see what the man looked like, and when she first saw that photo, she always felt very familiar, but unfortunately the photo was too mushy, and she didn't know if she was familiar with the scene or not.

The young man repaired a photo of an old lady in a military uniform and said, "Can you look at this one?" ”

Yao Jingjing kept looking at it and said, "Okay, that's good." ”

The young man exclaimed, "This woman is very beautiful! ”

Yao Jingjing said proudly: "Of course! ”

The young man said: "Hey, what a hero, I didn't see it at first, I thought it was a man in a military uniform!" Now in these years, I can't find such a heroic and good-looking woman. ”

Heroic and good-looking?

Yao Jingjing somehow remembered the lifelong flower, and then looked at the restored photo of the grandmother, and felt that the eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the lifelong flower.

She remembered the lost photograph again, and the image of Lifelong Flower and Aoki posing together under the big willow tree appeared in front of her, and a crow was parked on the tree, croaking there.

She shook her head, shook these strange thoughts out of her mind, and when she looked at the photos again, although she inevitably appeared in the appearance of her life's flowers, it was easier to think of her mother. In the end, it was her mother who inherited the beauty of her grandmother, Yao Jingjing thought.

After the photographs were repaired, they were all printed on Epsom's machines using Hahnemühler's art paper. The young man said that this kind of giktographed art can guarantee that it will not fade for 150 years. Yao Jingjing doesn't know if it's true, she only knows that the price is not cheap, but no matter how long the photos can be kept, she also thinks it's worth it for the effort of others to retouch the pictures and the electronic manuscripts that are kept.

The results of the institute are out. The associate professor, who was originally reluctant, suddenly seemed a little excited, and asked Yao Jingjing where her hair came from before he could say the result. Of course, Yao Jingjing didn't tell the truth, so she casually said that her friend entrusted it, and she didn't know.

The associate professor asked, "Is your friend an archaeologist?" Did you find anything else? ”

Yao Jingjing looked inexplicable, and she didn't know why he asked this, so she simply didn't speak.

The associate professor said "oh" as if he understood, "I understand, I don't want to say it." Then he handed Yao Jingjing a bag of documents and said:

"It can be determined that this hair is not modern. After we tested it, it must have been 3,000 years or more old. Although the keratin has been significantly degraded, and there are too few samples to extract its DNA, its genetics can still be detected by SNP testing. This is supposed to be a European hair from 3,000 years ago, belonging to the purebred 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 as he spoke, looking a little mysterious, "If your friend wants, we can cooperate." ”

Yao Jingjing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What cooperation?" ”

"If you find it in Europe, you shouldn't go back to China for testing," the associate professor said. If it was found in China, it would be a big deal! It is likely to overturn some of the conclusions about the distribution of human race and the genetics of the population. You know, the university is very generous with this kind of big event that can cause a sensation in the academic world, and you can apply for very objective funding, and you can get a lot more results and rewards than you have worked so hard to get that little thing, and there is no risk......"

Yao Jingjing suddenly felt ridiculous, she originally just wanted to investigate the theft of Grandma Tai's grave, how did it become a big deal in the academic world? The co-authors still treated me as a tomb robber!

She didn't want to explain anything, so she casually replied, "I'll go back and ask my friend," and took the document bag and left.

The whole thing is completely out of the blue. Why does a European hair from thousands of years ago appear on the grave of Grandma Tai? Where did the old lady's body go? Did someone steal it, or was she not in the tomb in the first place?

I can't think clearly, Yao Jingjing decided to go back to Wuzhong first, there are still a lot of things there. And after going back, you can also ask Professor Mei Yiqiu about this hair, and some things can be discussed with Hou Biao, that guy has an almost perverted intuition about dangerous and weird things, probably practiced in the jungle in the past.

She calculated the time, and 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 that something had happened to Yuziba, and she couldn't leave for a while, so she asked her to go back first.
