Fucheng turned his head and ignored a man again.

Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows lightly, chewing gum in his mouth, and gently blew a bubble. His eyes were on the beautiful side of the black-haired young man until Lovens came back with several American Airlines staff.

Lovens: "This is Mr. Patrick, you should have known each other just now."

Two American Airlines staff nodded repeatedly: "We have greeted Mr. Patrick just now."

Lovens continued to introduce: "This is a member of UAAG, Evan Fu. I don't need to introduce this person, Joseph. He was the captain of your American Airlines back then." As he was speaking, Lovens found that Mr. Zhuo was chewing gum. His mouth twitched, and was about to explain to him, Zhuo Huan spoke himself: "Addict to smoking."

The two American Airlines staff certainly had no objection to this: "It's okay, it's okay."

Everyone sat down one after another.

Lovens: "I'm asking you to come again this time because the wreckage of American Airlines 4012 has been caught. Today the plane has just been transported to the investigation headquarters and has not been cleaned yet. I want to know about the situation of the two pilots from you now."

0 American Airlines staff looked at each other: "Our company had already sent pilot information to NTSB three months ago."

Lovens nodded: "Yes, of course I know this. I personally received these two documents. But there are still some specific situations that we want to understand before the investigation officially begins."

"Of course it's OK."

Lovens smiled and said, "Then let's divide it into two groups. You two are familiar with the captain and the other is familiar with the deputy captain. We happen to be four of us, so how about the interview with you, Mr. Patrick, Joseph and Fu?"

"OK."

Without further ado, the four of them immediately formed groups to interview the two American Airlines staff.

However, before leaving the conference room, Zhuo Huan stopped: "Fucheng and me."

Lovens was stunned: "Okay, okay."

Fu Cheng looked at Mr. Zhuo in surprise, but Mr. Zhuo had already left the conference room before him and went to the next room to wait for the interview.

This is a small conference room worth ten square meters. The sharp and long whistle of ships came from the port pier in the distance. The traffic outside the window was full of traffic and people were buzzing, but the room separated by a window was silent.

This American Airlines employee was obviously nervous, or he always felt uncomfortable after seeing Zhuo Huan.

Fu Cheng turned on the recorder to relieve the atmosphere. However, Zhuo Huan pulled a piece of paper from the table, wrapped in chewing gum and threw it into the trash can. He sat upright, supporting his knees with elbows. In an instant, the originally undestrained aura suddenly turned around, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. He looked at the American Airlines staff in front of him seriously, his voice calmly and with a hint of solemnity.

"How many years have you worked at American Airlines and what is your relationship with the captain?"

The American Airlines staff were stunned for a moment, and looking at Zhuo Huan's solemn expression, he slowly got into the state.

"I've been with American Airlines for 21 years..."

"American Airlines 4012, Captain Kevin Schulman, 49 years old. He was a US Air Force pilot and transferred to civil aviation for 9 years. He has 13,911 hours of flight hours and has rich experience in driving the Airbus A390."

The bright incandescent lamp illuminated the office of the investigation headquarters. Zhuo Huan stood in front of the whiteboard and posted the photo of Captain Kevin.

He continued: "Deputy Captain Tim Harrison, 26, has 1,187 flight hours for the Airbus A390. Obviously, he is a newbie."

Everyone listened to his words and turned their eyes to the young pilot on the whiteboard.

It was a young American young man who had a very standard American face. His yellow-brown hair was slightly curly, and under his wide forehead, there were blue-green eyes. His eye sockets were deep, his nose bridge was high, and his nose was large. He did not smile on this airline ID photo, and he stared at the camera very seriously. But the smile lines on his cheeks showed that he should be a cheerful person.

As for the captain Kevin next to him, he seemed much more serious. He was serious and his silver hair was neatly treated with hair wax. His eyes were like eagles, his lips were thin, and he was pursed tightly, which was very unhappy. Even in photos, it puts people under great pressure.

Lovins continued Zhuo Huan's words: "Kevin and Tim both flew many times on the London-Boston route. The information provided by American Airlines said that Kevin had taken off from London 87 times and landed at Boston Logan Airport. Tim was a little less, and he landed at Logan Airport 21 times. The two pairs of routes were absolutely familiar with them."

Fucheng said: "American Airlines staff said that Kevin and Tim had flew three times together. This is their third collaboration."

Zhuo Huan glanced at Fucheng, he picked up the marker and wrote on the whiteboard—

"Not much cooperation".

As we all know, pilots of large airlines do not fly only one route, such as from London to Boston; nor do they only fly the same plane. Before each flight, basically on that day, they know which plane they are going to fly, the pilots and flight attendants are flying with them.

Everything is random.

But generally speaking, because pilots can only fly one model of aircraft for a period of time, there are still opportunities for them to meet.

But three times, this number is definitely not many. This is an embarrassing number that is neither up nor down: the two pilots definitely know each other, but they must not be familiar with each other.

Fucheng looked at the interview information he recorded and said, "Kevin is a very skilled and famous as an excellent captain at American Airlines. Last year, he received the honorary captain from American Airlines. The pilot who carried out the mission with him said, "Mr. Schulman is an extremely reassuring excellent pilot. He had many experience in completing the mission successfully when he served in the US military. When he arrived at American Airlines, his flight records were always outstanding and admirable."

After saying that, Fucheng looked at Old Joseph.

Old Joseph opened the interview record: "Deputy Captain Tim, his grades during training were very good. All his grades were excellent, and only the low-altitude wind shear project was good. His friends said that Tim himself was optimistic and cheerful, often attended various company gatherings, and many friends. He had always had a hard-working attitude towards flying. Before the accident, he was preparing for the flight course of the Maifei F485, and he wanted to change the model of the flying aircraft."

Fucheng said in surprise: "His Airbus A390 has only 1,187 hours of flight hours, are you going to change the flight model?"

Joseph Old Joseph: "Fu, Maifei F485 is the most advanced civil aviation passenger plane at present. Since its debut, many pilots have wanted to fly it."

Su Fei muttered: "If you praise me again, I feel that RIP is going to be proud again."

However, as Su Fei expected, although he was praised in public again, there was no expression of excitement on Mr. Zhuo's face. He seemed to have not heard it and refused to comment on this matter.

His eyes stayed on the pilot information on the whiteboard for a long time, and Zhuo Huan turned around and asked, "How is the situation of the wreckage of the plane?"

Lovens immediately said: "The investigators are still cleaning it. It has been buried underwater for four months, Patrick, and many places are inevitably rusted and corroded. In addition, the impact of ocean currents and the activities of underwater creatures have also left it covered in bruises. There is no doubt that we fished up most of the plane, but a small part disappeared into the vast ocean."

Zhuo Huan: "Have you found the black box?"

In the conference room, there was suddenly silence and no one dared to say anything.

Zhuo Huan slowly frowned.

One hand was raised.

Zhuo Huan looked at him.

Fucheng: "I just heard the news about this. Teacher Zhuo, the black box is not in the salvaged aircraft wreckage. In fact, it is likely to have disappeared with the currents..."

***

One day ago.

As an administrator of UAAG, Lina came to the staff responsible for receiving the families of the victims and took over the other party's work.

In an air crash, interviews with the families of the victims are also crucial. Especially for such planes that suddenly crashed on the ocean, many people's first reaction is hijacking.

In 1996, an Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 suddenly encountered a hijack when it flew to Kenya. The crew calmly communicated with the robbers patiently. Unfortunately, no matter how the crew persuaded the crew that "the plane did not have enough fuel to fly to where they wanted to go", the three kidnappers did not understand and believed it.

In the end, the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean due to insufficient fuel.

After a busy day, Lina just returned to the hotel and saw a familiar person in the hotel lobby. She walked up with a smile and gave the other party a hug: "Hi, Lovins, shouldn't you be investigating the headquarters now? Why did you go back to the hotel so early?"

Lovens smiled bitterly: "I'm here, of course I want to ask for help if I have something to do."

"Oh? Do you have something to do and need my help?"

"Actually, half a month ago, when I found the wreckage of American Airlines 4012 in the sea, I immediately ordered to search for the black box first and let the divers salvage the black box first. But we searched for two days and couldn't find the black box! And just this afternoon, I searched for the wreckage of the salvaged plane for a long time, and now I finally confirmed... Lina, the black box of this plane is really missing."

Lina froze: "So, what do you mean?"

Lovens begged, "Go and tell Patrick about this for me. Half a month ago, when I realized that the black box might have disappeared, I discovered that this might be an extremely difficult case and a big trouble, so I came to Patrick. If this accident was simply mechanical, weather, or something, it would be possible to find the truth without a black box. But if it was related to human factors... it would be really difficult without a black box, and it would even be a unsolved case. Oh my God, Patrick would be very angry. I don't want to see his bad face. You have the best relationship with him, please tell me."

Thinking of this, Lovens' scalp numb: "Actually, I should have told Patrick about this matter in advance, but I think if he had said it, he might not have taken this big trouble. As a result, he would have been hiding it until now..."

The black box is the most important key to an air crash accident. Just like the corpse of a victim in a criminal case and the sample specimens in experimental research. Most of the air crashes in the world that have not found the truth are almost all because the black box is not found or the black box is damaged.

"You should have said it from the beginning, and it shouldn't be hidden until now." Lina frowned, she thought for a moment, and smiled Youran: "Actually, I've been thinking about why you always think Reid has a bad temper, he is really gentle. Maybe he will get angry if you hide other things from him. But this is an air crash, and he will never joke about this. Of course, I will explain this to him, but it's not for me."

"Well? It's not yours, who's going?"

Lina smiled mysteriously: "There is a better choice."

At night, Fucheng had just returned to his hotel room. Suddenly, his doorbell rang.

When I opened the door, I saw a blonde in a long dress standing outside the door and smiled at him: "Hi, Fu."

Fucheng: "Lina, how do you know I'm back?"

Lina smiled softly and said, "Because I am Lina. Are you free? I want to invite you to have a cup of coffee, and by the way... please help me."

From beginning to end, Fucheng didn't think this was a big deal.

Everyone knows that from the moment NTSB invites UAAG to investigate the accident, all the travel expenses and expenses of UAAG will be borne by NTSB, American Airlines and Airbus. This is not a small number, of course, it is definitely not an astronomical figure like $7 per second. But if it is just a simple accident, why does NTSB spend this money?

The black box cannot be found, this matter is a difficult problem, but in Fucheng's opinion, it may not be impossible to solve it.

He even had a little wonder: "Why didn't Mr. Lovings go and talk to Teacher Zhuo in person?"

Lina's eyes flashed, and she turned her head and smiled: "Yes, you also think Reid is not that kind of person. Why didn't he talk to Reid himself?"

……Um?

Seeing that there was something in the other person's words, Fu Cheng silently said, not understanding Lina's meaningful gaze, so he lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

Lina: "Fu, I am not a Chinese, and sometimes I don't understand some of your Chinese words. If someone tells you, you will never have a chance from now on. What do you think is his implication?"

Fucheng was confused and looked at Lina's smiling eyes. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "You seem to be in a good mood, Lina."

Lina: "Yes, I have always cared about my friends and cherished every one of my friends, so I am in a good mood now."

Fucheng waved to the waiter: "Did you give this beautiful lady the wrong coffee? She seems to be drunk."

The waiter was stunned.

Lina was so amused and crying: "Your jokes are really hard to distinguish between Reid's."

Fucheng thought to himself: I think I am quite humorous.
