Conan: The Mechanic

The next afternoon, on the bus from Didan Elementary School to Mihua Central Hospital.

"Yeah, it was because they discovered the cannibalism of the Franklin Expedition that made Fujimura Shinichi and Henry Ito famous all over the world." Leaning on Chiba, Haibara Ai said this talking. "Well... I won't hang the book bag. You should have a lot to tell me, right?"

"When I was studying over there (Imperial College), I actually saw someone arguing about this," Chiba said as she hugged Haibara Ai. "There must have been an Inuit student, because when arguing with a white Canadian student, the other party called them an insulting Eskimo (Indian: people who eat raw meat), and then there was the British The students took part, and the last topic was Dickens. I thought... 'These savages find that once they see the white people are weaker than them, they will turn on the white people and kill the white people, maybe they killed the team members of the expedition.' "

"It's a satire of John Rae, right? Dickens's classic work," Ai Haibara is no stranger to this matter. "Things about those bold reports from John Rae."

"Yeah, the sad public." Qian Yu pouted.

In 1848, more than two years after the departure of the Franklin expedition, the British Admiralty launched a series of exploratory activities. In 1854, when Dr. JohnRae, employed by the Hudson's Bay Company, which oversees more than 5 million square kilometers of land in British Canada, was conducting a related search, the Inuit said they could provide The whereabouts of a survival team of about 40 people led by the captain of one of the expedition ships in the winter of 1850 - and when the Inuit encountered them again in the spring of 1851, the Inuit found only about 30 corpses rather than any living person. At the same time, they also obtained a large amount of materials belonging to the expedition. The Inuit also told John Ray that they found cuts and cooking marks on the body.

[From the many dismembered corpses and the contents of the jugs, it is clear that our poor compatriots have been forced to resort to the use of last resort - cannibalism - as a means of gaining time to survive] - 1854 On October 23, the "London Times" disclosed Dr. John Ray's report to the British Imperial Admiralty.

But what is ironic is that since Franklin had been portrayed as a tragic hero by the United Kingdom at that time, and was even posthumously named a rear admiral, John Ray's report caused an uproar, which also led to John Ray's eventual shouting in the UK. Fighting, the reputation was discredited, and this topic also became an insurmountable national emotional taboo at that time.

But the truth cannot be buried by the anger of the people, and subsequent explorers continue to bring back similar news.

[(boots) as high as knees, some of which have boiled human flesh in them—yes, cooked human flesh]—Charles Francis Hall's description of the Inuit in Field Notes, Vol. 26, 1869 .

[One man's body was found by the Inuit with only two hands amputated at the wrist, but most of the others had their flesh cut off like someone had cut them off before eating them Drop the same] - the same Honda wild notes, volume 34

[[An Inuit] saw what appeared to be bones that had been sawn from legs and arms... The condition of the bones led the Inuit to speculate that the whites had been cannibalistic... He reasoned that the bones were cut with a knife or saw or the like] - Captain Frederick Schwarka, 1879

Although such second-hand evidence is constantly being discovered, it was Fujimura Shinichi and the others who smashed the final hammer to end these disputes: in June 1974, the Ito team found a Franklin expedition on King William Island in June 1974. The corpse of a member of the corpse, and through the vague, but still enough to convey the relevant photos, it is claimed that the corpse does have the marks of the skeleton being cut.

But in order to find this precious expedition, Ito sacrificed his life, and his remains have not been transported back until now.

"But then again, I've talked so much, do you want to talk about it too?" When she said this, Qian Yu suddenly rubbed her face against Haibara Ai, who was leaning against her neck. "Why are you so positive about this?"

"I... have?" Haibara Ai was at first at a loss, but finally admitted it frankly. "Ah... well, it looks like I'm really not very good at hiding things. All in all, he has something to do with my family."

"Ah?" Qian Yu was stunned. "With your home?"

"Well, Baijiu Pharmaceutical, you know the name, right?" Haibara said sadly~www.readwn.com~ and this Henry Ito..."

"The main sponsor of Baijiu Pharmaceuticals, the inconsistency of the investment direction of the heirs brought about by his sudden death is considered to be the ultimate reason for the final downfall of Baijiu Pharmaceuticals, and this is also the reason why my father finally joined the organization." Ai Haihara Say so. "So... I definitely want to see the old man. After all, according to the tapes that the organization gave me before, my mother seemed to say that the old man was very nice and helped my father a lot."

"So, it's actually just to meet once?" Qian Yu asked. "After all... If you die in that kind of place, you will obviously freeze to death. So the only meaning is to confirm your identity, and there is no room for other forensic work. And the most important thing is that the body is not necessarily Henry. As for Ito, if it wasn't, we might be completely for nothing."

Having said that, the bus arrived at the nearest station of Rice Flower Central Hospital.

They should get out of the car.

……

And when they arrived at Gregory's forensic workstation, they found that the body had arrived, but only at the point where it was taken out of the mobile freezer used to preserve the body.

"You are here?" Gregory glanced at Chiba and Haibara Ai who were wearing warm clothes. "Well... Since you are here, we will not be short of manpower."

Beside him were Fujiwara and Hotaru, and none of the other staff members appeared here.

"What about the others, can't they come?" Qianyu and Haibara Ai sat on a chair with a swivel wheel, and used this device to come to the dissection table. The usual general corpse is taller, on the corpse wearing a cold suit.
