That same evening.

"During a scientific expedition some time ago, a joint Japanese-Canadian expedition found the body of a man in Nunavut. Although the identity of the deceased has not yet been determined, the place where his body was found is the same place where Henry Ito, the main finando of Shirakuhato Pharmaceuticals, disappeared during an archaeological mission 26 years ago. "On TV, NHK's news channel was broadcasting like this.

"What do you think of this?" When Qian Yu walked downstairs and was about to make himself a cup of tea, he saw that Gray Yuan Ai was watching such news. "This ...... Not like you, huh? ”

"Shh Gray Yuan motioned for him to be 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, the Franklin Expedition, and it was during this archaeological operation that Fujimura Shinichi discovered the remains of Captain Franklin's men, and found relevant information that could prove that Captain Frank and his remaining crew eventually killed and consumed each other's scandal. However, during this expedition, Henry Ito's whereabouts were unknown, and the expedition team was forced to evacuate due to a snowstorm after a short search. "It's still on TV." At present, due to the strong request of the family of the deceased who lived 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're never going to look for him again, are you?" When he saw this, Gray Yuan Wai suddenly asked Qianyu.

"Huh?" Qian Yu was slightly stunned. "That...... I haven't had time to say if you don't want to have anything with them later......"

"Except for this one!" Gray Yuan's expression suddenly became a little excited. "Except this time! If nothing else, it must have been Gregory who carried out the autopsy, and I must have go! ”

"Huh?" Qianyu was really scared. "Wait a minute, it's not like you're going to ...... with the organization"

"An organization is an organization, this is this ......" When he said this, Gray Yuan Wai suddenly changed his words again, and his mood was even more restless, and he was even a little incoherent when he organized his language. Wrong...... Ahhh 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 Gray Plains was so excited, so he decided to at least find out what this Henry Ito expedition was all about.

……

"Henry Ito?" Dr. Asa took the phone, thought for a moment, and said. "The name struck me as a pharmaceutical sponsor with a keen interest in all sorts of anthropological explorations – but in the end, he also died as a result of archaeological work. But then again, what do you ask me for? ”

"Ah...... It's not a big deal, it's just that I feel like Gray Yuan seems to be very excited about this, but I don't know why......" Qianyu casually prevaricated like this, and hung up the phone.

Of course, although there is no way to know too much about Henry Ito, and the only label for Fujimura Shinichi is the hand of God who can find exciting antiquities anywhere, but for another term, "Franklin Expedition", he knows more than the average person.

After all, Imperial College London certainly hasn't degenerated enough to exclude even the famous martyrs of their own country who died in the course of exploration from the library's collection records, right?

When we turn back the clock to the time after Columbus discovered America, before the contours of America were fully explored. It is well known that for European colonists, the Americas were almost a giant barrier across the oceans – even though circumnavigation had completed the exploration of southern South America and enabled the search for the most basic pathways. However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, Canadian colonies in northeastern North America had to sail south from the northernmost part of North America to the southernmost part of South America before they could reach Asia. In the face of this time-consuming and costly transportation, the British Empire began to wonder if the northernmost tip of North America was also the southernmost tip of South America, and that there was in fact a passage that would allow them to bypass the North American continent directly from the north to the north of Asia and then go south.

Historically known as the Northwest Passage – the northeastern route that sailed along the Arctic Ocean in northern Russia, it was broken through in 1906 by an expedition of Amundsen (who also won the first kill at the South Pole) and five crew members to travel south along the previously unpopular and narrower eastern route of King William Island.

In order to explore the Northwest Passage, a series of expeditions were repeated in northern Canada, narrowing the fog on the map. By 1845, there were less than 70,000 square miles left in the empty space, and about 1,040 miles from east to west. Under these circumstances, Sir John Barrow (1764-1848), Secretary of the Admiralty of the British Empire, came to China in 1793 as a member of Macartney's mission to China. After several of the candidates at the top of the sequence either rejected or were denied participation in the operation, John Franklin was finally selected as the sixth candidate as the commander of the operation.

So, on May 19, under the orders of Sir Barrow, the famous explorer John Franklin led two ships in their early 700s, the Nether and the Terror (which had participated in the Anglo-American War of 1812), from the British mainland to try to open the northwest route. In order to accommodate this expedition, both ships were heavily modified - a 25-horsepower locomotive steam engine was installed and put on as steam power, upgrading the two warships into steam warships, and the latest propellers were used as propulsion tools, allowing the ships to move at an astonishing speed of 4 knots per hour (at that time) without wind, with a strong ability to move without wind.

But after that, the expedition disappeared – and after July 1845, the Anglo-Saxon world of Europe and America lost contact with the expedition forever, on which there were many expectations.

……

Well...... The Franklin Expedition is also quite famous, and I changed the historical events, especially the environmental demons that found the corpses, and used them for use.

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

PS: As for why I came up with the idea to write this?

Oh, and when I took the TOEFL test in April last year, I took the mentally retarded lead cans of this expedition
