Chapter 1402: Cleanup (big chapter seeking monthly ticket)

Eve's gentle voice echoed by He Ao's ear as his gaze rested on the coffee table before him.
On the Solid Wood Coffee Table sat a smooth, translucent Agate Basin, filled with sheets of paper that had already burned to ash.
The papers had not burned completely, leaving behind corners and edges that had not been fully consumed.
He Ao had found the Agate Basin in a cabinet at the edge of the living room. It was also one of the two potentially useful pieces of "information" Eve had discovered.
Eve had detected the suspicious Agate Basin and ashes inside it through radar scans.
The basin had likely been placed inside the semi-enclosed cabinet while the papers were burning, which was why they had not burned completely and had even left behind some edges.
However, the main contents of the papers in the basin had basically been burned away. The surviving fragments were almost all blank edges.
Still, because they had been placed in the cabinet during the burning process, the ashes remained relatively "intact" when He Ao took them out.
Ordinary paper did not instantly burn entirely into ash. Without outside interference, it could retain some of its original shape to a certain extent, and even preserve part of the writing on it.
And because the burning had been incomplete, the papers showed partial carbonization, making the writing on them clearer.
At that moment, Eve was using the cameras in the room to scan the ashes from multiple angles, trying to reconstruct what had originally been written on the papers.
Judging from the handwriting, the words on these papers did not appear to have been printed. They had been written directly by hand, like some
