Yet upon examination, the corpse appears to be more than a hundred years old with smallpox scars, and an odd wound protrudes from the victim's leg. Lodged in the femur, under decrepit scar tissue, is a bullet shaped like a musket ball. The bullet looks like it was fired during the Civil War and had remained in the victim's leg ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRattled by the discovery, Cruz instructs her assistant to take specimens to the state authorities immediately and not to tell a soul about it.
