Conan: The Mechanic

"Okay, they're out, let's continue the topic of the adults," Gregory looked at Chiba and the others who were leaving, and took over the conversation from Fujiwara. "Well... let's talk about the wound you mentioned earlier, the wound you didn't understand. Do you think it's unnecessary to stab your opponent's feet when you eat people?"

"Isn't it?" Fujiwara asked. "When eating people, shouldn't you mainly use the place with meat as the place to cut the knife? What would you waste time and energy cutting in such a place without meat?"

"Well..." Gregory raised his eyebrows, and then asked a somewhat confusing question. "Have you... ever eaten someone? Have you ever eaten someone with a good relationship?"

"Of course not, what do you want to say?" Fujiwara's brows twitched.

"When you're so weak that you can't find anything to eat, and the only source of food you can get is your friends who just died, you can only eat them. It's painful, but it's better than dying together. ." Gregory shrugged. "U****takeablytothefastwaningstrengthandenergiesofthestarbingsurvivors."

"And when you want to eat the flesh on a complete corpse, as long as you're not too mad, then you must be unable to speak - this is your good friend after all, and his face is in front of you, It's like he's just gone to sleep, maybe even in a state of glaring rage. And you're going to tear a piece of meat off him and eat it? I think even if the court will forgive you, your conscience will never be There will be peace. So, in order to solve this step, a necessary means for those who are struggling in their hearts is..."

Gregory turned a cervical vertebra on the dissection table and showed Fujiwara that he had given him a chance, but there was no trace of being discovered by the latter. "Have you seen this? When you just gave me a picture of the dismantling of the shoulder joint, you swept it here. The picture is clear enough, but you don't know anything about it."

The atlas (first cervical vertebra, c1) is a ring-shaped bone similar to the shape of a drawn bow and arrow, and on the bow body of this "bow and arrow", a small incision is clearly visible.

"This..." Fujiwara's face was a little embarrassed,

"I thought you could find this place, so I'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention it in your report just now." Gregory reprimanded Fujiwara seriously. "Next time, you will need to search these bones carefully - this cut mark is highly homogenous to many of the marks you just mentioned. If you really read it, you must be able to realize the meaning of this mark, understand?"

"Yes."

"Okay, since there are cutting marks here, tell me," Gregory nodded, then returned to the previous topic. "What is this knife for?"

"In order to cut off the head of the deceased, disintegrate the cognition of the identity of the other party, so that I can continue to cut it in the next action?" Fujiwara thought thoughtfully.

"Well, I think this should be the first step - if you really want to cut something, it must not be cutting off the meat directly for cooking, but the first step will be able to show the other party and yourself. Those traits of intimacy are eliminated." Gregory nodded. "It's unacceptable for most people to eat their own relatives or friends, so they have to find a way to ignore it."

"Then, what about the cuts on the hands and feet?" Fujiwara asked again. "Could it be for..."

"Essentially the same, it's all about dispelling concerns. But strictly speaking, it should be said to be different." Gregory was satisfied with Fujiwara's extrapolation. "I don't think that cutting these places is basically to forget that he is a good friend - after all, unless you have very careful observation and understanding, it is difficult to remember who this is with just one hand. In these The fact that the knives are used locally is mainly so that they can stop thinking that it is a human hand, and more like a... delicious roast leg."

"Is there any difference between the two?" Firefly asked. "Is there any essential difference between trying to ignore that this is my friend, and trying to ignore that this is a person?"

"Normally there is no~www.readwn.com~ but in this case it is different." Saying this, Gregory motioned for Fujiwara and Hotaru to carefully observe the incisions on the neck and finger bones. "You look at those two cuts, then the cuts on the shoulders and legs, and see if there's any difference between them."

"..." After looking at it for a long time, Fujiwara frowned slightly and seemed to have found something. "This...it seems that the types of nicks on these things are not the same? I mean...it seems that the type of these nicks seems to be Not the same, it doesn't feel like the same pattern. You see. This mark on the arm and the shoulder and head marks are unusually high compared to the other marks and not particularly deep, but It's extremely narrow--obviously from a very high-quality cutting tool. Wait, do you mean--"

"Well, because they are obviously not made by the same tool," Gregory nodded. "These are deep and narrow, probably made by some specialized saw for cutting: if you look closely at the cuts above the scapula, there is one that doesn't cut the scapula completely, but just cuts Halfway through the mark. Unlike a normal knife cut, part of the curved surface of this bone was worn away by the cutting action - meaning the mark was created by a tool, through repeated... sawing action. "

Having said that, Gregor used his palm to simulate the saw body of the saw, and simulated the figure-8 cutting trajectory of the sawing action. "Look, does this create the mark on the half-cut scapula? If it was a normal meat-to-bone movement, it wouldn't have this strange shape."

"Why use a saw to cut these parts, but use another tool to cut hands and feet?" Ying asked in confusion.
