That night.

"During a scientific expedition some time ago, the Japan-Canada joint expedition team found a male body in Nunavut. Although the identity of the deceased has not been determined yet, the place where the body was discovered was where Henry Ito, the main funder of Shiratsuki Pharmaceutical Company, disappeared during an archaeological activity twenty-six years ago." On TV, NHK's news channel was playing like this.

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

"Shh!" Haibara Ai signaled him to silence and stared at the TV screen intently.

"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 that Shinichi Fujimura discovered the remains of Captain Franklin's subordinates and found relevant information that could prove that Captain Frank and his remaining crew members finally killed each other and ate each other's scandals. But in this expedition, Henry Ito's whereabouts were unknown, and after a brief search, the expedition was forced to evacuate due to a blizzard." The TV is still broadcasting like this. "At present, due to the strong request of the family members of the deceased who lived in Japan, Henry Ito's body has been sent back to Japan, and the Metropolitan Police Department is responsible for the relevant investigation."

"July, you probably didn't say anything to Gregori that we will never look for him again, right?" When he saw this, Ai Haibara suddenly asked Qianyu.

"Hey?" Qian Yu was slightly stunned. "That... I haven't had time to say that if you don't want to do anything with them in the future..."

"Except for this matter!" Haibara Ai's expression suddenly became a little excited. "Except for this time! If nothing unexpected happens, it must be Gregori and the others doing the autopsy work, I must go!"

"Ah?" Qian Yu was really scared. "Wait a minute, I didn't mean I wanted to go with the organization..."

"Organization is an organization, this is this..." When he said this, Ai Haibara suddenly changed his words, and he was even more restless. He even spoke incoherently when organizing his language. "No... ahhhh! In short, you must let me see Henry Ito's body with your own eyes this time!"

"Okay..." Qianyu still didn't understand why Ai Haibara was so excited, so he decided to at least understand what the Henry Ito expedition was about.

...

"Is Henry Ito?" Dr. Agasa took the phone call and thought about it. "I feel like this name is a sponsor of the pharmaceutical industry, with a strong interest in various anthropological explorations - but in the end, he died because of archaeological operations. But then again, what do you ask me for this?"

"Ah... nothing big, I just feel that Haibara seems to be 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 Shinichi Fujimura is that he can find the hand of the gods who can find exciting ancient relics anywhere, for another noun, that is, [Franklin Expedition], he knows that there are more content than ordinary people.

After all, Imperial College must have not fallen to the point where even the famous martyrs who died in exploration in their country were excluded from the library's collection records, right?

When we turn history back to Columbus' discovery of America, before the outline of America was fully explored. As we all know, for European colonists, America was almost a giant barrier across the ocean. Although the global voyage had completed the exploration of southern South America and achieved the most basic pathway search. However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, if the Canadian colonies in northeastern North America wanted to go to rich Asia, they had to sail south from the northernmost side of North America to the southernmost side of South America, and finally to Asia. Under the current situation of consuming a lot of time and transportation costs, the British Empire began to think about whether the northernmost end of North America was like the southernmost end of South America. In fact, there was a pathway that could facilitate them to bypass the North American continent directly from the north, reach northern Asia, and then head south.

Historically, this channel was called the Northwest Passage—corresponding to the Northeast Passage along the Arctic Ocean in northern Russia. In 1906, Amundsen (also the first killer of the South Pole) expedition team sailed with five crew members on a 13-horsepower fishing boat along the previously unpopular, recognized as a narrower East route of King William Island, and finally achieved a breakthrough.

In order to explore the Northwest Passage, a series of expeditions were repeatedly launched in northern Canada, continuously narrowing the fog range on the map. Until 1845, the blank area was less than 70,000 square miles, and the distance between the east and west was only about 1,040 miles. Under such circumstances, Sir Barrow, Secretary of the Admiralty of the British Empire (1764-1848, came to China as a member of Macartney's delegation to China in 1793.) After multiple candidates with the highest sequence either refused or were refused to participate in the operation, they finally chose John Franklin, the sixth candidate, as the operation commander.

Therefore, on May 19, under the order of Sir Barrow, the famous explorer John Franklin led the Netherworld and the Terror (who once participated in the 1812 British and American War) two ships, with a length of 700 tons, from the British mainland, to try to open up the northwest route. In order to adapt to this exploration, both ships were modified with high intensity - the 25-horsepower locomotive steam engine was installed on the steam power, upgrading the two warships into steam warships, and especially using the latest propeller as propulsion tool, which allowed the ship to advance at an astonishing speed of 4 nautical miles per hour (at that time) without wind, and had strong windless action capabilities.

But after that, the expedition disappeared - after July 1845, the Anglo-Saxon world in Europe and America lost forever with this expedition that had only a large number of expectations.

...

Well... The Franklin Expedition is quite famous. I changed the historical events, especially the environmental magic that found corpses, and took them to use them.

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