Chapter 800 – Cannibalism
160+170… I never touch the gre again, never again...

According to a sketch by Shinichi Fujimura, the body was found by Henry Ito's expedition in a low headland 1.5 miles west of the southeast coast of King William Island, and according to memoir documents, the bones were distributed around a tent whose boundaries had long been blurred. Unlike the typical Inuit tent in the area, this is a typical makeshift canvas tent, and the materials used in it are also typical British materials, so the expedition determined that the remains of the tent there were left behind by the British Franklin Expedition. After saying this, Gray Yuan looked at Grigory and signaled that he had finished saying everything.
"......" Grigory didn't say anything, but looked in the direction of Hotaru and Fujiwara. But this time, it was not Fujiwara, who was supposed to speak in order, who was the first to speak, but Hotaru.
"This, in terms of the examination of skeletal elements, the identity of oxygen isotopes has been said, and the δO value of oxygen isotopes of this corpse is -5.6, which is closest to the -5.4 measured by the Irish workstation, which is obviously inconsistent with the more common values of -10 to -25 in North America, so it can basically be determined that it is a native of England."
"Secondly, in terms of elementalism, we detected a large amount of lead in the bone samples – 179 ppm (more than 80 percent is thought to cause symptoms such as vomiting and colic, and more than 200 can cause muscle paralysis and coma), which is 30 times the level detected in the bones of the two Inuit bodies. As for the source of lead...... The lab is still running isotope ratio analysis, and it should be coming out soon. ”
"Why did you say it first, Fujiwara didn't memorize the speech, so do you still need time?" Realizing that Hotaru had finished speaking, Gregory glanced at Fujiwara.
"Because what I'm going to say should be enough for a weighty paper," Fujiwara said, taking a deep breath, handing a few photos to Gregory. "This is what I just lined up with a Polaroid, and you can look at it at the corresponding position of the bones."
"According to the results of the examination now, the damage to the bones of the HLV officer is obvious, including a large number of bones such as the mandible, pelvis, shoulder blades, clavicle, sternum, ribs, etc., which are completely gone, while at the same time, it is disturbing that ...... We see obvious signs and ...... from carnivores on long bones, such as leg bones."
When he said this, Fujiwara's expression was a little lonely. "Marks of tool cuts, obvious tool cuts, not things like animal tooth marks."
"Is it certain that it was eaten by people, not animals?" Gregory didn't seem surprised by this—although the box of bones they had found had disappeared with Professor Ito, leaving them unable to provide the skeletons for writing a dissertation, and could only barely manage the loss of prestige through photographs and published memoirs, he had seen the marks on it and knew that there were indeed human cuts on it.
"I don't think so, we measured the width and depth of the cuts, and we were sure that they weren't the teeth of a carnivore, but if they were narrower, they might be like the front teeth."
"Write it down, I'll look at the wound later, and I'll continue to report back."
"In addition to this, we have found other direct and indirect evidence." Fujiwara thought for a moment and said. "There is at least one long bone...... It is the tibia, although most of the bones may have been broken when they fell down from the ice crack with Professor Ito in the bag, but we found that one tibia, probably due to the relatively good environment, although the sections of the other bones were blunted due to weathering, this bone still showed the characteristics of [small stepped fractures], which means that the bone fracture occurred while the person was still alive, or a very short time after death. In other words, it is possible that after he died, he artificially dismembered and broke the bones. ”
Long bone fracture, this is one of the recognized standards of [cannibalism], because in this process, only the long bone fragment can be better absorbed - if you can't get nutrients, what's the point of eating people?
"At the same time, we also found a large number of cut marks on the articular surface, including the wrist joint and the knee joint, which may have been used to separate the two bones from the joint so that they could be eaten separately. But at the same time, I have not been able to find a reason why there are similar cuts on the metacarpal bones, phalanges and metatarsals - there is no reason to go under the knife here because the flesh is so limited in these places. If the purpose of cutting the thighs is to cut the meat, then I really can't figure out why I can't get along with the hands and feet where the meat can't be cut. ”
"Has the atlas been found?" Gregory said this, but seemed to think of something, and looked around.
"Found it, I was about to say that there were similar cuts on it......" Fujiwara said at this point, but was interrupted.
"Alright, no need to say it." Grigory motioned for Fujiwara to be quiet. "And the girls are here."
“?” Fujiwara realized that what he said might be a little scary for a girl, and immediately looked at Hotaru. “!”
But he found that although Hotaru's expression was complicated, he also maintained a tenacity that would not be frightened.
And the one who has already broken through the psychological defense line is Gray Plains Wai.
As far as the eyes of the few people present, Qian Yu hugged the gray plain mourning in his arms and made a [sorry] look to them. "That...... I'll take her out first. ”
……
"You...... Are you really not afraid of these things? When Qianyu escorted Gray Yuan Ai out of the workshop and came outside, Gray Yuan Ai suddenly asked.
“?” Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, and then told the truth. "This ...... I actually think it's okay - maybe I'm the type who doesn't really care about that? ”
"I thought I would be able to be indifferent," Gray Hara's expression was quite complicated. "But...... When you mention the dismembered bones, I can make up a picture of them cutting the body open...... It's scary! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, good, we don't want to." Qian Yu sighed in his heart and continued to soothe Gray Plains.
What can be said? Maybe...... Is this what a girl should look like?

This chapter was supposed to be coded on the 7th, but while writing the above paragraph, the author felt a chill and fear in the dark room, and then turned off the computer......
