Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Strange Encounters at the Airport

Berlioz sighed: "In the next few minutes, it was very normal. The runway of the airport was already in sight, the plane was landing quickly, and the ground staff of the airport were also in sight. Originally, nothing happened. , but suddenly, Captain Mackey exclaimed again: 'God...he...so fast!'" Bai Su and I glanced at each other, not understanding the meaning of Captain Mackey's call, Berlioz continued: "At that time, the wheels had been put down and the plane was diving, which was the most important moment before landing. , any pilot knows that at such a moment, one must concentrate and remain calm in order to make the plane land safely. However, after Captain Mackey yelled, he pointed forward with his hand, showing an expression of extreme panic, At this most important moment, completely give up control of the aircraft!"

I said "hmm": "No matter how dangerous the situation is, you should at least pay attention to what exactly Captain Mackey has undue panic about." Berlioz smiled wryly: "I, Vince, and Dabao all noticed that what Captain Mackey was referring to was only the personnel on the airport. At this time, a car was quickly crossing the runway. There was a person with arms outstretched, gesturing to us, that is the ground crew was signaling to us that our plane had left the runway.” Dabao, the flight engineer, smiled wryly: "I first shouted: 'Be careful! Airport, be careful!' The co-pilot also started to control the plane immediately, but he was already a step too slow. Tilting to one side, one round hit the edge of the runway first and broke immediately, if the co-pilot didn't control it well—”

Dabao shook his head and didn't say any more. Everyone knows the landing situation and the result of the plane, so there's no need to say any more. Berlioz added: "It's strange that Captain Mackey kept pointing at the man in the car until he knew something had happened to the plane, dumbfounded for some reason." After Berlioz, there was a long silence in the meeting room before Qi Shiyu said: "This is how things happened, Mr. Wei, your opinion is—" Aokun didn't wait for Qi Shiyu to finish, and said loudly: "We should listen to the opinions of experts."

At that time, my thoughts were very confused.Berlioz and the others, the narrations of the people on the plane, are already detailed enough, but I can't draw a conclusion, and I don't know what happened. Judging from the facts that have passed, Captain Mackey made a series of grotesque actions that led to the crash of the plane, and Captain Mackey obviously has to bear full responsibility. But why did Captain Mackey suddenly have such a weird behavior?Is it a hangover?This is the simplest explanation, but I don't believe in such an inference. Captain Mackey has a lot of flying experience, even if he is a little bit drunk, it shouldn't be the case.

So, for what? I remained silent, did not express my opinion, and Bai Su did not make a sound. Then, several air crash experts described the cause of the plane crash in terms of the degree of damage to the plane.These narratives, involving many numbers and terms in aeronautical engineering and flight science, sound rather dull, and I am not going to repeat them.After the experts had finished expressing their opinions, Okun said, "Okay, our time-wasting actions have come to an end, and we can stop." I have to make one point, I have simplified the process in the conference room during the past two days. Okun objected at the beginning, and even attended the conference for two days, which is not easy.

Qi Shiyu sighed: "The whole process is like this, Mr. Wei—" He was eager to hear my opinion, but I really had no opinion to express, so I had to smile wryly.At this time, Bai Su broke the silence: "Mr. Aokun is right. We are indeed wasting time. We have been wasting time from the very beginning." Qi Shiyu and I couldn't help being surprised when we heard Bai Su say this suddenly. It was stunned, but Ao Kun showed a complacent expression.After a short pause, Bai Su continued: "We discussed and narrated for two full days. The most important person, Captain Mackey, was not present at all. We didn't listen to him talk about the situation at that time. Everything you said was useless.”

As soon as I heard it, I immediately applauded. Okun's face was flushed, and I hurriedly said: "Yes, Captain Mackey must have his reasons for his behavior at the time. If you don't listen to his explanation, you can't make any decisions." .” Qi Shiyu looked at Bai Su and me with a bitter expression, and Bai Su said, "Excuse me, is there no chance for Captain Ma Ji to explain and defend the entire investigation from the beginning to the end?" Okun exclaimed: "Of course not, it's just that he is completely uncooperative, he...he..." Qi Shiyu took it up: "Captain Mackey insisted that he did the right thing and did his best to save the plane, and he couldn't have done a better job."

Okun snorted: "Including giving up control of the aircraft at the most important moment!" Qi Shiyu didn't say anything, but I already had an idea of ​​what to do next, so I stood up: "We'll discuss it here, there will be no conclusion, I want to see Captain Mackey." Qi Shiyu said: "He has been detained by the judicial authorities of our country. If you want to see him, I can arrange it." I pointed to him: "Please hurry up." I only said a word, then made a gesture to Bai Su, and Bai Su stood up immediately: "Mr. Qi Shiyu, please keep in touch with us."

Bai Su and I left together. On the way home, neither of us spoke, each of us was thinking. It wasn't until I got home that I said, "What did Markey see that made him make an emergency landing?" Bai Su made a helpless expression: "At an altitude of 32,000 meters, what can I see? Could it really be the flying saucer and the little green man?" I shook my head and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. He is not the only pilot who has seen flying saucers or UFOs." Bai Su said: "We don't need to speculate now, we will know the truth when we see him."

I agree, there is no point in making a hundred more speculations, and we have to tell Markey himself to know why he behaved so abnormally at that time. Two days later, at night, I received a long-distance call from Qi Shiyu: "Please leave immediately, it has been arranged, and you can have a brief meeting with Ma Ji before the prosecution." Bai Su has been involved in this matter from the very beginning. Originally, she would go with me to see Captain Maji, but temporarily, there are some matters that must be dealt with by her, so I have to go alone. What Bai Su had to deal with temporarily had nothing to do with Captain Maji, the plane crash, etc. at the beginning.But later on, it turned out to be related.It was absolutely unexpected at the time, but since what seemed to be a completely irrelevant matter was involved, it was necessary to describe it first.That afternoon, Bai Su received a call first, she said a few words on the phone, then put down the phone: "I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon."

I casually asked, "What's the matter?" Bai Su has already walked towards the door: "It's nothing, a distant relative was hit by a car." I was a little bit ironic: "Then what's the use of you going? You are not an emergency doctor." Bai Su glared at me: "He's injured, go and see him, what's wrong?" I had no choice but to spread my hands and made a "please go" gesture, and Bai Su walked out. A person is injured by a car, this kind of thing happens all the time in big cities, of course it doesn't attract my attention. About an hour after Bai Su left, she called: "I'm really sorry, it's a little unexpected, I won't be back until later, you can have dinner by yourself." She spoke very hastily, and I hurriedly said, "Hello——" I originally wanted to ask her where she is now and what accident happened, but I just said "Hello" and she hung up the phone. Bai Su seldom does things in such a hurry, so I had to wait until later to call me. After waiting and waiting, Bai Su's call did not come. When the phone rang, it was Qi Shiyu who called me, telling me to prepare to leave immediately to see Captain Ma Ji. I was very impatient, as soon as I put down the phone, I immediately booked a flight ticket, and I also booked a flight ticket for Bai Su, and then tried to contact Bai Su. I thought, Bai Su went to visit a distant relative who was hit by a car.With such obvious clues, with Wesley's supernatural powers, it's a breeze to contact her, it's too simple! However, I called one after another, first calling some relatives, no one knew who was injured, and then called various public hospitals to check. There were quite a few injured people, but the names were completely unfamiliar names. , and no one like Bai Su has ever visited the wounded. When I was sweating profusely, I found that I couldn't contact Bai Su at all, and it was already two hours later.I had to go to the airport to report, so I had no choice but to leave a tape and tell her my whereabouts, and asked her to come to the airport directly if she could make it in time, otherwise, to catch the next flight. I know that as soon as Bai Su calls, she can hear what I left.I went straight to the airport and waited until I got on the plane, but I still haven't seen Bai Su.One minute before boarding the plane, I called home, and what I heard was still the words I left behind, and I didn't know where Bai Su had gone. I'm not worried, just weird. The plane took off and took me to my destination - a very progressive country.However, due to the development of the situation in the future and various reasons, mainly the airlines of this country are determined not to allow me to write the name of this country, so as not to affect the reputation of the airlines, so I have to vaguely call it "this country"! The flight time was about twelve hours. Later, I met with Bai Su and found out what happened to Bai Su.Why not take this opportunity to talk about Bai Su's experience first.Because what Bai Su encountered was closely related to the whole incident. The call Bai Su received at that time was from an old woman's voice. According to Bai Su's later statement, it was like the voice of her fourth cousin. The old woman called her by her name directly on the phone: "A Su, Your second cousin crashed into a car and was injured, can you come here, he is in the emergency center hospital." Bai Su only agreed, and then asked a few more questions, mostly about whether the injury was serious or not. Although I was on the side at the time, I didn't care.Bai Su put down the phone and walked out. She drove away, and when she turned the corner of the street, she saw an old woman walking towards her in a hurry, waving her hands as she walked, beckoning her to stop. Bai Su felt very strange, she stopped the car, the old lady's skill was very flexible, which was not commensurate with her appearance.As soon as Bai Su stopped the car, she ran to the side of the car, and immediately opened the car door, sat beside Bai Su, looking at Bai Su. Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, but still maintained her composure: "I'm sorry, you are──" The old woman smiled and looked very cunning: "I called you just now." Hearing this, Bai Su couldn't help being angry and amused at the same time.She has dealt with many people before, but the opponent is an old woman, but it is rare.At that time, she said "Oh": "You tricked me out, for what purpose?" The old woman shook her head: "I didn't lie to you to come out, someone was really injured, hit by a car, and he wants to see you." Bai Su drove the car to the side of the road and stopped: "I'm sorry, I'm not an emergency doctor, and I don't have time to meet everyone who was hit by a car, please get out of the car." When Bai Su said this, he was already prepared that if the old lady continued to talk too much, he would push her out of the car as a small punishment for her inexplicable actions. However, before Bai Su finished speaking, the old woman hurriedly said: "No, you must go and see him. He told me that he must see you. He is one of my nephews. He is a very nice person. He must go and see him. meet you." Bai Su was both angry and funny: "Your nephew, do I know him?" The old woman said: "I don't know, but he said that he knows you." Bai Su snorted, she really didn't want to get entangled with that old woman anymore, she said: "I'm sorry──" When she was saying "I'm sorry", she was ready to lean forward, open the car door, and push the old woman out of the car with force, but at this moment, the old woman suddenly leaned forward and made herself body, close to Bai Su. In Bai Su's ear, the old woman whispered quickly: "My nephew was hit by a strange car. He said that there was a person in that car. He was so weird that he could only To the extent that I see you are willing to say." Bai Su frowned, the old woman not only moved neatly, but also spoke in a very orderly and forceful manner, she didn't look like an ordinary old woman.Bai Su thought for a while: "You said your nephew knows me, but I don't know who he is, nor who you are." The old woman sighed: "I'm just an old woman. I haven't seen anyone for a long time since my business went bankrupt. My words may be a bit harsh. Don't be surprised—" Bai Su waved his hand: "After talking for a long time, you still haven't said who you are." The old woman said: "My nephew is called Huang Tang. He works in the police station and has a very high position──" The old woman had only reached this point, and Bai Su had already said "ah", and yelled out, "God, why didn't you say it earlier! Which hospital is he in? Let's go!" Of course, Bai Su is no stranger to this name, Huang Tang.I have heard it, and I am no stranger to him. He is a senior police officer with a very special position, specializing in handling strange and mysterious cases. As Bai Su asked, he started the car and said at the same time: "Do you want Mr. Wei to go see him too?" The old woman shook her head and said, "No need, my nephew said that when Mr. Wei started to do things, he was thoughtless and impatient. He was far worse than you. He just wanted to see you." (When Bai Su relayed Huang Tang's comments to me in this way, I couldn't help but laugh. I knew Huang Tang's observation ability was very keen, but I didn't expect it to be so keen!) Bai Su smiled, noncommittal, feeling strange in his heart that a senior police officer was hit by a car, why would he sneak around and ask his aunt to call and ask her to come out to see him? Seeing Bai Su's puzzled look, the old woman hurriedly said: "He said things were weird, so after he came back, he wasn't in the hospital at all, but just stayed at my home to recover from his injuries. He didn't want to make things known to everyone. Just wanted to hear your opinion." Bai Su was even more puzzled, and said, "What do you mean 'after you come back'?" The old woman said: "Yes, I didn't explain clearly. He was on a business trip recently, and his destination was Sabah, Malaysia. He was hit by a car there." When the old lady talked up to this point, Bai Su didn't care about it, but the old lady then added: "At that time, he was near the airport and was hit by a car." Bai Su's heart suddenly moved, the airport in Sabah, that That's where Captain Mackey's plane crashed. Bai Su thought of this a little bit in her mind. At that time, it was absolutely impossible for her to connect two irrelevant things together, she just thought it was weird. Bai Su casually agreed: "Okay, where is the residence?" The old lady gave an address, and Bai Su drove straight ahead. Along the way, the old lady said very little, and when they arrived at the destination, it was a big and old bungalow. Bai Su stopped the car, and walked into the house under the guidance of the old woman. The interior of the house is very dilapidated, just after entering the house, there was a sound of "tapping" on the stairs, Bai Su looked up and saw Huang Tang.Huang Tang leaned on a cane and walked down the stairs.The stairs are wooden stairs, and the crutches are on it, which makes that weird "tapping" sound. Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "Are you injured?" Huang Tang went downstairs, made a gesture to ask Bai Su to sit down, and said: "I'm really sorry, because of my business, I have no choice but to ask my aunt to invite you in this way." Bai Su said: "Actually, you can—" Huang Tang said: "I don't want Mr. Wei to know that he...he...arbitrary, and what happened to me is very strange." Bai Su laughed: "How weird is it?" Huang Tang frowned: "Last month, I was ordered to bring a prisoner back to Sabah. This was a very simple task. After receiving the prisoner, I went to the airport and prepared to board the plane. But when I arrived at the airport, I didn't know that a passenger plane had crashed. Yes, the situation is very serious, the airport is blocked, and the plane cannot take off." Bai Su said "hmm": "It's about that day." Huang Tang didn't seem to know what Bai Su meant by saying this, so he glanced at Bai Su, and Bai Su made a gesture to signal him to continue talking. Huang Tang said: "I had no choice but to take the prisoner back, but in the middle of the car, the prisoner suddenly opened the car door, jumped out of the car and fled, I immediately chased after it, it was already dark, the prisoner was running ahead, I chased, and there was nowhere to go. The road was just a wilderness, and while I was chasing, I pulled out my gun and prepared to shoot. At this moment, a car suddenly drove over from the left side." Bai Su listened attentively: "What kind of car?" Huang Tang said: "Ordinary car, I didn't pay attention to it, it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, the car didn't have lights on, it just ran straight towards me, I immediately jumped to avoid it, thinking it was driven by the criminal's accomplices car." Bai Su said: "It is reasonable to speculate like this." Huang Tang smiled wryly: "Although I avoided it quickly, I still called it bumped. Because my body was spinning, I fell outwards when I bumped. My elbow touched the ground first, and then my leg twisted. I heard my own fracture." Huang Tang described it in great detail, and up to now, Bai Su still didn't know why Huang Tang invited her to go in such a way.If it were me, under such circumstances, I would definitely be very impatient and want to urge Huang Tang to get to the point quickly. But Bai Su's patience was very good, she didn't rush, but just quietly listened to Huang Tang's talk. He continued: "I fell to the ground, and the car was still speeding forward. This made me very angry. I endured the pain and lifted myself up. At that time, I just wanted to see the license plate number of this car clearly. , going to investigate and punish those who drive like that.” At this point, Huang Tang looked at Bai Su, as if he wanted to ask Bai Su impatiently, what was the result of his observation. But Bai Su still didn't respond at all, just listened quietly, waiting for Huang Tang to continue. I think Huang Tang must be very regretful at this moment. An audience like Bai Su who is not impatient at all is very boring. He may be regretting that he should look for me instead of Bai Su. He asked seventeen or eight questions. Seeing that Bai Su didn't respond, Huang Tang had no choice but to say again: "I didn't see the license plate number, I only saw the inside of the car, including the driver, a total of four people, all wearing the uniforms of civil aviation pilots." When Huang Tang was invited here, his expression was agitated, and Bai Su responded indifferently: "You are near the airport, and there are flight personnel driving past, what's so strange?" Huang Tang stroked his face with his hands: "The one sitting in the back seat raised his body and looked towards me, and he could see three horizontal stripes on his shoulders in his uniform. He is a co-pilot level officer." Bai Su wrinkled He frowned and didn't express any further opinions. Huang Tang continued: "Generally speaking, the knowledge level of flight personnel is quite high. A person with a certain level of knowledge should not ignore someone after hitting someone." Bai Su said "hmm": "Under normal circumstances, it is true." Huang Tang said: "But why don't they stop to look at Chuang me?" Bai Su made a "don't know" gesture.Huang Tang paused for a moment, then said again: "At that time, of course we would not be able to catch up with the prisoner. I was sure immediately that the four pilots in that car were pretending to be there to help the prisoner escape. It's that simple One of my tasks, I failed, I felt extremely sad, I didn’t feel the bruise and pain of broken leg bones, I lay on the ground, motionless, and almost didn’t want to get up.” Bai Su said: "You have broken a bone, if you don't seek medical attention immediately, it will be very dangerous." Huang Tang smiled wryly: "At the time, I didn't think of this at all. I was just thinking, why would such a simple task go wrong? At this moment, less than three minutes later, the car was already out of sight. The car suddenly drove back. It stopped not far from me, only about..." He said, gesturing with his hands: "It's only about two meters. I pretended to close my eyes, and the door opened. The flight crew of the co-pilot level was about to get out of the car, but the person sitting next to him said something. It’s like telling him not to get out of the car—” Bai Su was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by 'like telling him not to get out of the car'?" Huang Tang explained: "I didn't understand a word the man said. It's just that after the man said a word, the person who was about to get off hesitated for a while, and said a word I couldn't understand. The man next to him , said a few more words hastily, and the one who wanted to get out of the car stretched out a leg outside the car, then retracted it, and then the car drove away again. " Bai Su said "hmm": "From the whole process, it seems that they turned back and wanted to see how you were doing. Since you were lying on the ground, motionless, although one of them still wanted to get out of the car to take a closer look." , but the other three people thought you were dead and didn’t need to look any further, so they drove away again.” Huang Tang said: "Yes, this is exactly what I imagined." Bai Su made another gesture asking him to continue, Huang Tang said: "This way, the person who is going to get off the car but has not got off, I see very well clear." Bai Su said: "The light at that time——" Huang Tang knew what Bai Su wanted to say, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the light was very dark at that time, and after I was injured, my head was covered with sweat, and my vision was not very clear. However, I have received special training, and I am very good at distinguishing people With his handsome appearance and extraordinary ability, anyone who has seen him, as long as I pay attention to him, when I see him again, I can point him out with absolute certainty.” Bai Su said: "I don't doubt your ability, you - when did you meet this person later?" But Huang Tang didn't answer Bai Su's question right away, and talked about how he struggled to move his body after the car left, and finally a car passed by on the road, rescued him, and sent him to the hospital Some of them have passed. When Huang Tang told this story, Bai Su was the only person in the world who had the patience to listen quietly. Huang Tang went on to talk about some simple situations of his return, and then said: "I am recuperating here. Although the superior keeps comforting me, and the fugitive was captured the next day. But I am still discouraged and even consider After recovering from the injury, I quit the police. I have been living a boring life for the past few days, and I have to look through old newspapers to pass the time. This morning, I saw that man in an old newspaper. " Bai Su let out an "oh" and said, "That co-pilot-level flight crew? His photo—" Huang Tang nodded again and again: "Yes, look." Only then did he take out a neatly folded newspaper from his pocket. On the upward side of the newspaper was a picture. There were four or five people in the picture. , draws a small circle. Bai Su even froze for a moment when Huang Tang took out the newspaper. Huang Tang pointed at that person: "That's him." As he said, he stretched out the newspaper to Bai Su, asking Bai Su to read it carefully.Bai Su just said calmly and politely: "Mr. Huang, you've got the wrong person!" Huang Tang's face flushed in an instant.Because Bai Su praised his ability to recognize people a few minutes ago, but now he honestly said that he recognized the wrong person. Huang Tang blushed and didn't explain, just repeated like a stubborn child: "It's him, I won't admit my mistake." Everyone knows that most of the pictures in newspapers are not very clear. The picture is only ten centimeters square, and there are four or five people in the picture, and each person's head is no bigger than a small fingernail. Huang Tang pointed at the man's head with a firm expression, expressing that he would not admit his mistake. Bai Su also seemed to comfort a child: "I don't doubt your ability to recognize people, nor do I mean that you can't recognize a person based on a blurry picture in a newspaper." Huang Tang still blushed: "Then, why do you say I was wrong?" Bai Su said: "Because I know who this person is." Huang Tang showed a very surprised expression, but then suddenly realized: "Of course, you have read the newspaper." Bai Su said: "Just by reading the newspaper, I can't be sure that you have identified the wrong person. This person, named Berlioz, is the co-pilot of a plane. His plane crashed on the airport runway before you were hit. Think about it, how could it be possible for a co-pilot of a crashed plane to drive a car and injure you an hour later?" Huang Tang's whole body shook, and he immediately picked up the newspaper in his hand and stared at it. Look at the pictures in the newspaper. Bai Su said that he had identified the wrong person, and there was no good reason for it. The co-pilot of a crashed plane could never have left the airport within one hour of the crash.And Bai Su also knew that Berlioz's co-pilot had never left the airport after the crash. Huang Tang stared at the picture and said to himself: "Yes, the news description said that the four people in the picture were the main survivors of the crashed plane. Yes, it was because of the crash that I had to leave the airport, but ——" He raised his head up to this point, with an indescribably stubborn expression: "But I'm sure, this Berlioz is one of the four people in the car that hit me!" Bai Su said: "Maybe they are all wearing the uniforms of co-pilot flight personnel—" Huang Tang didn't wait for Bai Su to finish speaking, he shouted almost angrily: "No way, it must be him." Huang Tang's words were close to being unreasonable.No matter how good Bai Su's self-cultivation is, at most he won't get angry, and it's impossible to listen to it anymore.So, she just smiled and stood up: "Mr. Huang, I wish you a speedy recovery, and I'm leaving." Huang Tang's expression was still very angry, he poked the newspaper vigorously with his finger: "It's him! It must be him!" Bai Su spread his hands and made a helpless gesture: "Mr. Huang, there is no need to argue, I don't want to—" Huang Tang sighed, and murmured: "Oh, although Wesley has many shortcomings, I should still look for him, not you." Bai Su was about to leave, but when she heard Huang Tang say this, she stared at Huang Tang for a long while: "You mean, he can accept your ridiculous statement, but I can't?" Huang Tang said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Bai Su's character also has a very strong side, the more Huang Tang downplayed it like this, the more it made her unhappy.She said: "Okay, I can tell you further, why I can be sure that you have identified the wrong person, because I don't know anything about the accident of this plane." When Bai Su decided to tell Huang Tang the details of Berlioz's plane crash, of course it would take time, and she was afraid that I would wait for a long time, so she called me to inform me that something happened and she had to come back later. At that time, I never thought that her so-called trouble was trying to persuade Huang Tang to admit that she had admitted to the wrong person!
