That night.

"During a scientific expedition some time ago, the Japan-Canada joint expedition found a male body in Nunavut. Although the identity of the deceased has not yet been determined, the place where his body was found was 26 years ago. The place where Henry Ito, the main sponsor of the former White Dove Pharmaceutical Company, disappeared during an archaeological expedition." On the TV, the news channel of 's was playing.

"What do you think about this?" When Qianyu walked downstairs and was about to make himself a cup of tea, he saw Haibara Ai watching such news. "This...isn't like you?"

"Shh!" Haibara Ai motioned him to keep silent, and stared intently at the TV screen.

"In June 1974, Henry Ito and his friend, the famous archaeologist Shinichi Fujimura organized an expedition to explore the whereabouts of another famous British expedition [Franklin Expedition] - it was during this archaeological operation , Fujimura Shinichi discovers the remains of Captain Franklin's subordinates, and finds relevant materials that can prove that Captain Frank and his remaining crew ended up killing and eating each other's scandal. But during this expedition, Henry Ito himself is missing, and after a brief search, the expedition was forced to evacuate because of the blizzard.” The TV is still broadcasting like this. "At present, due to the strong request of the family members of the deceased living in Japan, Henry Ito's body has been returned to Japan, and the Metropolitan Police Department is in charge of the relevant investigation."

"Tachibana, you shouldn't have said anything to Gregory that we will never go to him again, right?" Seeing this, Haibara Ai suddenly asked Qianyu.

"Huh?" Qian Yu was slightly stunned. "That...I haven't had time to say, if you don't want to deal with them in the future..."

"Except for this matter!" Haibara Ai's expression suddenly became a little excited. "Except this time! If there is no surprise, it must be Gregory and the others who are doing the autopsy work. I must go!"

"Ah?" Qian Yu was really frightened. "Wait a minute, I'm not talking about going with the organization..."

"Organization is an organization, this is this..." When she said this, Haibara Ai suddenly changed her words again, and her mood became more restless, and even some incoherent words when organizing language. "No... ah ah ah! In short, you must let me see Henry Ito's body with my own eyes this time!"

"Okay, okay..." Chiba still didn't understand why Haibara Ai was so excited, so he decided to at least first understand what this Henry Ito expedition was all about.

……

"Henry Ito?" Dr. A Li answered the phone and said after thinking about it. "The name gives me a bit of an impression that he is a sponsor of the medical industry, and has a strong interest in various anthropological-related exploration work-but in the end, he also died because of archaeological operations. But then again, you ask me what I'm doing ?"

"Ah... It's nothing major, I just feel that Haibara is very excited about this, but I don't know why..." Qian Yu casually said a few words and hung up the phone.

Of course, although there is no way to know too much about Henry Ito, and the only label of Fujimura Shinichi is the simple and rude hand of God who can find exciting ancient artifacts anywhere, but for another term, That is [Franklin Expedition], but he knows a lot more than the average person.

After all, Imperial College must not have fallen so badly that even famous martyrs of their own country who died in exploration are excluded from the library's collection of books, right?

When we dial back history to the discovery of America by Columbus, before the contours of the Americas were fully explored. As we all know, for European colonists, the Americas were almost a giant barrier across the ocean - although the voyage around the world has completed the exploration of southern South America and realized the most basic way to find it. But in the 18th and 19th centuries, if the Canadian colonies in northeastern North America wanted to travel to rich Asia, they had to sail from the northernmost side of North America to the southernmost side of South America before heading to Asia. Under the current situation of spending a lot of time and transportation costs, the British Empire began to think about whether the northernmost tip of North America is the same as the southernmost tip of South America. In fact, there is a passage that can facilitate them to bypass North America directly from the north side. Continent, directly to northern Asia, and then south.

Historically, this passage was known as the Northwest Passage—corresponding to the Northeast Passage along the Arctic Ocean in northern Russia, and was flown by the Amundsen (and first South Pole kill) expedition in 1906 with a crew of five A 13-horsepower fishing boat made a breakthrough as it headed south along the previously unpopular and admittedly narrower Eastern Route of King William Island.

In order to explore the Northwest Passage, a series of expeditions were repeatedly launched in northern Canada, constantly reducing the fog on the map. By 1845 ~www.readwn.com~ the blank area was less than 70,000 square miles, and the east-west distance was only about 1,040 miles. Under such circumstances, Sir John Barrow, Secretary of the Admiralty of the British Empire (1764-1848, who came to China in 1793 as a member of Macartney's mission to China.) was a number of candidates at the top of the sequence. After either refused, or was refused to participate in the operation, John Franklin, the sixth candidate, was finally selected as the operation commander.

So, on May 19, under the order of Sir Barrow, the famous explorer John Franklin led two 700-ton ships, the Nether and the Terror (who had participated in the 1812 Anglo-American War), from the British mainland, trying to get through the northwest. route. In order to adapt to this exploration activity, both ships have undergone high-intensity modifications - a 25-horsepower locomotive steam engine was installed on the locomotive as steam power, and the two warships were upgraded into steam warships, and the latest propellers were specially used as The propulsion tool, which allows the vessel to advance at an astonishing speed of 4 knots per hour (at that time) in the absence of wind, has a strong ability to maneuver in the absence of wind.

But just after that, the expedition disappeared—after July 1845, the Anglo-Saxon world of Europe and America lost forever contact with the expedition that had placed so many expectations.

……

Hmm... The Franklin Expedition is also quite famous. I modified the historical events, especially the environment where the corpses were found, and used them.

In addition, Fujimura Shinichi is also an old friend of Japanese archaeology (no mercy)

ps: As for why I thought of writing this?

Oh, when I took the TOEFL test last April, the comprehensive writing test was the mentally retarded lead can of this expedition team.
