As long as there is someone behind you, you can still be a pacesetter in scientific research.

Go back and touch Hui Yuanai's smart big head, and be careful to follow the helpless eyes of this genius science girl. The paper will be printed with Lin Xinyi's name in a few days and published in academic journals.

"It is technically feasible to extract DNA from burned bones."

"I will publish another paper when I go back. If you are interested, you can learn about it yourself."

"This..." Shimabukuro Junhui was taken aback by the education of the idol: "This is also okay?"

"of course can."

"However... You have to analyze specific issues in detail."

Lin Xinyi thought for a while and asked:

"Miss Shimabukuro, the body was found in the warehouse of your shrine. You should have seen the bone."

"Then do you still remember what color the skeleton was?"

"Hmm..." Shimabukuro Junhui thought for a while with a complicated expression.

She seemed a little reluctant to recall these.

But after a while of silence, she still replied: "It seems to be...yellow, brown, a little black."

"Brown and black?"

Lin Xinyi has a bottom line in his heart:

DNA has indeed been detected in burned bones.

However, this also requires specific analysis of specific issues, and the influence of factors such as incineration time, incineration temperature, storage time, humidity, microorganisms, pH value, combustion accelerant, and incineration method on the DNA test of burnt bones must be considered.

The most influential one is the incineration temperature.

Generally, the average temperature of bones incinerated is above 500 degrees, so it is difficult to obtain comparable STR typing results.

And Junhui Shimabukuro said that the skeleton burned by the fire three years ago was brown and black.

"The color of the surface of the bone can reflect the temperature at the time of burning." "The white color indicates that the burned bone is basically only composed of high-temperature-resistant inorganic substances, so the higher the temperature, the whiter the bone."

"The surface of the bones is brown and black, indicating that the burning temperature was between 250 degrees and 350 degrees most of the time, and there may be organic matter."

"This temperature is not too high, very good..."

"It seems that we still have hope to get the DNA test results, try to compare with the missing persons in the nearby area, and determine the identity of the deceased three years ago."

The more Lin Xinyi said, the more confident he became:

With the DNA identification results, it is possible to determine the source of the corpse; and if the identity of the deceased can be confirmed, more clues can be dug up.

It seems that the old fire case three years ago is not completely hopeless.

So he kept asking:

"The information I found on the Internet shows that the so-called 'mermaid corpse' three years ago was brought back from the Fukui prefectural police by residents of the American island after causing a sensation, and buried on the island."

This kind of unidentified and nameless corpse should be kept by the local police according to common sense, so as to facilitate subsequent investigation and handling.

However, the Fukui County Police closed the case hastily for the sake of a good year-end summary.

Of course they don't care where the body is kept.

And after this case hit the news three years ago, this unknown corpse found on the "Mermaid Island" that was suspected to be missing a calf became the so-called "mermaid corpse".

This mermaid legend became a sensation all over the country, and it also attracted countless dignitaries to come to seek longevity and see it.

So the active-minded residents of the American Islands hit it off with the local officials of Fukui County.

They used the "Legend of the Mermaid" as a selling point to find a new way to develop characteristic tourism, which not only effectively promoted the deep integration of "folklore + tourism + mermaid culture", but also promoted the rapid development of the local tourism industry.

Moreover, while the mermaid tourism industry is developing rapidly, we will not forget to be prepared for danger in times of peace, expand and innovate, and continue to enrich the IP settings of mermaid on the existing basis to create new folk cultural products with local characteristics.

in short…

This "mermaid corpse", like the "longevity mother-in-law", is also regarded by the locals as a selling point to attract tourists.

Taking advantage of the heat brought about by the spread of legends, they took advantage of the trend to describe the unidentified deceased as a "mermaid" and buried it on the American island as a "tourist attraction".

When foreign tourists come, they can not only see the living mermaid, the longevity mother-in-law.

You can also go to the "mermaid's tomb" to pay respects to the dead mermaid.

"Where is this 'Mermaid Tomb' now?"

"Can you show me?"

"This..." The three ladies in front of them fell silent.

Heijiang Naoko and Ebihara Sumi were already supernatural and suspicious, but it's not surprising that they showed nervous and unnatural expressions on their faces.

But Junhui Shimabukuro's reaction is a bit concerning:

A trace of undetectable panic flashed in her eyes at first, but she quickly regained her composure.

His expression was still as calm as before, but he pressed his lips nervously subconsciously:

"Mr. Lin... sorry."

"I can't take you to see the 'Mermaid's Tomb'."

"Huh?" Lin Xinyi quietly frowned:

This lady witch had been very interested in the case three years ago, and she meant to consult him.

Why is she not cooperating now that she wants to open the coffin for an autopsy?

"Sorry, it's a long story..."

Junhui Shimabukuro bowed deeply to apologize, and then replied in a tangled way:

"The unidentified 'mermaid corpse' was originally buried in our shrine."

"But then more and more tourists came to visit the mermaid's tomb, even to the point where the shrine was unable to receive them."

"Worst of all, there are some very restless fanatics among those tourists."

"They believe in the legend that 'you can live forever if you eat merman flesh', so..."

Miss Miko's voice froze.

Talking about these things seemed to make her feel very uncomfortable.

So she pondered for a while before continuing:

"That's why people often break into the shrine in the middle of the night to... dig the grave of the deceased."

"They want to get the so-called 'mermaid bones' and take them back... as medicine."

Speaking of this, Junhui Shimabukuro's face is already very ugly:

"We really can't help it."

"Later, it was my great-grandmother, also known as the long-lived mother-in-law, who spoke:"

"She said that this is disrespect to the dead, and even more a blasphemy to the mermaid--in order to appease the anger of the mermaid, no one can disturb the peace of the tomb of the mermaid."

"So she asked someone to secretly move the tomb, and moved the mermaid's tomb to a deep mountain on the island."

"As for the specific location on the mountain, only the person who was in charge at the time and she knew."

"This..." Lin Xinyi had a strange expression when he heard it:

Changshou mother-in-law secretly moved the grave?

But this longevity mother-in-law, isn't it you who pretended to be yourself?

How can you not know where the bones of the dead are?

"Miss Shimabukuro..."

Lin Xinyi frowned and asked tentatively:

"Then can't you ask 'Longevity Granny' for us?"

"You also know that we are not bad guys who rob graves. We went to that grave just to avenge the dead."

"Even so, can't you take us to see it?"

"No... no."

Junhui Shimabukuro pursed her lips in confusion:

"It's not that I don't want to help you."

"It's my great-grandmother who said that if outsiders are allowed to disturb the peace of the deceased, then... it will arouse the anger of the Mermaid and bring disaster to the American island."

Facing the temptation, she not only did not change her words, but even brought out the unimaginable ghost theory, thereby rejecting Lin Xinyi's request.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin."

"Maybe you don't believe in the legend of the mermaid, nor do you believe in my great-grandmother's warning."

"But I'm the witch of the Mermaid Shrine after all. Since the great-grandmother set us such a rule, I..."

"I can't make that kind of decision that goes against my ancestors."

Shimabukuro Junhui used the ancestor's rules as an excuse, although her tone was relaxed, her attitude was very firm.

"This..." Lin Xinyi wanted to ask again.

But she turned around on her own.

"Mr. Lin, I have to take Naoko and Sumi to meet my great-grandmother, and I have to prepare for the evening ceremony."

"Time is too tight, I can only be rude first... sorry."

Saying that, without waiting for Hayashi Shinichi to respond, Shimabukuro Kimie led Naoko Kuroe and Ebihara Sumi and walked straight to the inside of the shrine.

Miss Miko quickly disappeared before everyone's eyes.

At the same time, a strange atmosphere was left behind.

Everyone could vaguely realize that something was wrong.

"Hattori, what do you think:"

Lin Xinyi looked at his companion seriously:
