After Wei Ran finished translating this sentence, Xia Shushi immediately grinned and said, "Fortunately, I didn't open it."

"The next thing is this Indian pipe ax and this little pipe."

Anfisa pointed to the ax placed separately in a small plastic tray, as well as the ax handle placed directly in the stainless steel tray and the small Japanese incense pipe, "First of all, there are obvious traces of cutting use on the ax blade.

Secondly, I found fine sand stuck in the solidified tar accumulated under the pipe axe.

Similarly, fine sand was also found in the hollow ax handle, the feathers on the ax handle and the small pipe."

With that said, Anfisa picked up a slide from the tray and placed it on the microscope, then raised her hand towards Wei Ran who had finished translating.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Wei Ran put his eyes to the eyepiece of the microscope, Anfisa continued, "You can clearly see these fine sands through the magnification of the microscope.

The structures are basically the same, so we can guess that these sands should come from the same place."

"Anything else discovered?" Wei Ran asked, making way for Xia Shushi. At the same time, his eyes subconsciously looked at the last petri dish in the tray.

"It was taken out of the handle of the pipe axe."

Anfisa said as she slowly pulled out the black and yellow cigarette holder that seemed to be made of horn on the side of the ax handle.

"This cigarette holder is made of tortoiseshell and has engravings on it."

Anfisa handed the cigarette holder, which was half the size of a ham sausage, to Wei Ran, pointed to the hollow part inside and said, "I suspect the things taken out from here are dry flowers and unknown plants.

Seeds, but because there is a lot of dried smoke oil on the flowers and the shape has changed, it is temporarily impossible to identify the species."

"It's jasmine. At least those seeds are jasmine seeds."

Wei Ran looked at the cigarette holder in his hand and said, "When I was a child, my grandma's house planted a large patch of jasmine. When Aurora was about four or five years old, she once stuffed the jasmine seeds into it.

It got into my nose, and I went to the hospital specifically for it. Since then, all those jasmine flowers have been chopped off."

"Apora has never told us about this kind of thing."

Anfisa shrugged nonchalantly, pointed at one end of the tortoise cigarette holder with tweezers and said, "The engraving is here. It was originally tied up with a leather rope."

"To War Chief Captain Ernest Evans! - USS Alden, DD-211, Destroyer Squadron 57 - 08/13/1942"

Just as Wei Ran was turning around to read the English inscriptions on it, Anfisa, who knew that her boss did not speak English, also translated it into Russian and read it out.

"So this is Captain Evans' 34th birthday gift?" Wei Ran weighed the tortoise cigarette holder.

"I don't know when the birthday of the captain you are investigating is."

As Anfisa spoke, she picked up another slide and put it on the microscope, "Now comes the final discovery."

"What is it this time?" Wei Ran turned around and asked after he finished translating for Xia Shushi.

"Fish scales, very small scales, and there are signs of carbonization."

Anfisa pointed to the leather rope removed from the ax handle, "I found it in the gap of the leather rope. There seem to be some slight burn marks on the ax handle."

"It can be used for fire... Could it be that you are really living on a desert island?" Wei Ran muttered to himself, and then gave Xia Shushi the translation of what Anfisa just said.

"Although a lot of details have been discovered, it doesn't seem to be of much help to us in finding Captain Evans."

Xia Shushi went to the microscope and took another look. Seeing that he could not figure out the reason, he straightened up and continued, "I think you should start the investigation from the personal information of your friend's father. Just rely on this."

I’m afraid I won’t be able to find any clues at all.”

"The Johnston is an American destroyer," Wei Yan said, "but my Indian friend lives on an Indian reservation in Canada."

"How can we find this..."

Xia Shushi scratched his scalp and retreated, "Brother, how about... how about I help you continue the investigation after returning to China? You see, the business you gave me hasn't been done yet, we can't delay it.

It’s down to business, right?”

"You're doing it because Lola ignores you, right?"

Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, but at the moment, relying only on these clues, he really couldn't find anything. What's more, he had originally intended to help directly through the metal book, and now he has done the preparations that should be done. The most important thing is

What's more, both the Katenka sisters and Xia Shushi, in addition to helping to cover up, have actually done a lot of help to him, but they don't know it.

Of course, this includes the details of the last battle of the Johnston that have been found out these days. But the most important thing is actually the burnt fish scales just now.

The fish scales themselves are naturally nothing, but since they can be burned, at least the fish must have been burned. If there is fire, there must be land.

Since there is land, at least Captain Evans, whom he is looking for, may not have sunk into the sea in the end, but may be buried on some unknown uninhabited island.

Seeing that Wei Ran was silent, Xia Shushi gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, do you think this is okay?"

"What kind?" Wei Ran came back to his senses and looked at Xia Shushi with interest.

"I'm going to do my business first."

Xia Shushi took out the authenticator hanging around his neck and shook it, "When I finish my business, if you haven't found the captain and his destroyer by then, I will help you find it. If I find the exact location,

, I will accompany the Philippine Monkey on a trip, and by then, whether it is a person or a boat, as long as you can dig it out or fish it out, I will guarantee that you can take it with you."

"Does this mean you have a relationship there?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter to me"

Xia Shushi grinned, "But that second-in-command of Qin Beast has something to do with him there. Do you remember that Brother Yang who was in Munbei last time? The bodyguard next to Qin Beast."

"Remember" Wei Ran nodded, "we went into the mountains together to find the cemetery."

"Their security company seems to be based in Philippines, and they are easy to talk to."

Xia Shushi patted his chest and said, "Whether you can find it or not, I'll go back and do some work first, and then I'll call the beasts over to pave the way for you to go to the Philippine Monkey Pagoda in advance. What do you think? Isn't my brother generous enough?"

"That's okay"

Wei Ran nodded. Since the other party was responsible for what he said, he naturally had to let the other party go.

"That's enough!"

Xia Shushi snapped his fingers and turned around and walked out, "I'll go up there and have a cup of coffee, and then I'll buy a plane ticket and leave."

"Let me buy the ticket for you."

As he spoke, Wei Ran winked at Anfisa, who had already taken off her white coat. The latter immediately nodded, picked up the tablet placed on the table and chased out.

Seeing that he was the only one left in the laboratory, Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, then walked to the darkroom next door, which was specially used to develop photos, holding a stainless steel tray in one hand and the shell casing in the other.

Ignoring the scumbag friend who went to the library to exchange feelings, Wei Ran returned to the house alone after leaving the basement. He first went to the storage room to replenish the metal book, and then took away the bits and pieces in the collection room.

All the broken objects were put into the sailor bag, carried on the shoulders, and sent to the darkroom underground in the library. They took out the items one by one and placed them on the table like a stall.
