Lin Dongxue arrived at the bureau . Everyone who pa.s.sed by said, “Dongxue, you’re late . ” Lin Dongxue smiled in shame .

She sat at her seat and opened a case file . At present, there were no cases that needed to be solved . There were only a few criminal cases that had post-investigation admin to be dealt with . Work was something that could never be completed .

A few colleagues were chatting about the new TV series, and Xu Xiaodong used the files as cover to play on his mobile phone . It seemed to be a peaceful day .

Suddenly, there were footsteps in the corridor and she received a message from Lin Qiupu informing everyone to meet in the conference room . Everyone quickly put down their work and went to the meeting room . This time, Lin Qiupu, the first team’s captain, Old Geng, and the chief who didn’t usually show up was there too . This scene made it seem like there was a big situation at hand .

The chief clapped his hands together, motioning everyone not to speak . Then, he glanced at Old Geng .

Old Geng said, “Excuse me for suddenly summoning everyone here . The situation is like this: An airplane from Hainan just landed at Long’an Airport due to an emergency . The reason for the forced landing was due to a criminal case on board . There was an old person who got killed in the economy section . The airline has arranged all the pa.s.sengers to stay in a hotel and now the pa.s.sengers are kicking up a fuss and making lots of noise . The airline and the police negotiated six hours for us . The plane will take off at 3:00 PM, so we must solve this crime within the allotted time . The killer must not leave with the other pa.s.sengers!”

The police officers began whispering in shock before the chief once again signalled for everyone to stop talking . “This is the situation . This was originally the first team’s case, but since everything is happening so suddenly, we have to concentrate all our strength towards this . The second team solved the most cases last year and has the strongest capabilities . The investigation work will be carried out by the second team and the peripheral work will be a.s.signed to the first team . I will take charge of the procedural issues . You can rest a.s.sured and investigate the case without any worry . “

“Chief, is there a search warrant?” someone asked .

“Yes, I have already signed it . You can investigate everyone on board . ”

“How many people are there on the plane?”

“In total, there are nearly two hundred people . There are 167 pa.s.sengers in economy cla.s.s and twelve flight attendants and pilots . ”

“Everyone is suspicious?”

“You can say that! Except the victim . . . ”

“No, the victim may be a suspect too!” Peng Sijue interjected . “We haven't seen the corpse, so we don't know if they committed suicide . ”

The chief nodded . “Little Peng is right . Everyone is suspicious!”

Everyone was shocked . Would it be possible to find the killer amongst almost 200 people within six hours? Could it really be done?

“It’s okay . Don't hesitate . Everyone needs to bring all the necessary equipment to the scene . Remember, it must be solved in six hours . I'll wait for your success!”

After the Chief and Old Geng left, Lin Qiupu a.s.signed tasks to everyone . With the exception of a few officers who had important jobs on hand and couldn’t be mobilized and the personnel responsible for network investigation, the entire second team all had to partic.i.p.ate this time . Lin Dongxue raised her hand and asked, “Captain Lin, should I go and call on Chen s.h.i.+? “

“Go ahead . . . Tell him that he can’t waste even a second . He needs to utilize all his skills and means this time . ”

While Lin Dongxue called Chen s.h.i.+, the others left one after another . Chen s.h.i.+ said over the phone, “Challenging case, I like it! If this case can be broken, the second team will gain a lot of face . ”

“Speaking so arrogantly . We haven't even seen the scene yet, so hurry up!”

“Wait at the door . I'll be there in five minutes . ”

Five minutes later, Chen s.h.i.+'s car stopped at the door and he beckoned Lin Dongxue to get in the car . Chen s.h.i.+ couldn't wait to ask about the case, but Lin Dongxue didn't know anything and said, “I just told you everything I know . ”

“Interesting! Honestly, I haven't even flown on a plane in all my life!”

“You haven't been in a plane even though you’re so old?”

“Have you been on one before?”

“Oh, I once went on one for a business trip . ”

The sun outside the window was s.h.i.+ning on her face and Lin Dongxue gradually dozed off . During her sleep, she felt something was pus.h.i.+ng her head . She woke up to find that her head was resting on Chen s.h.i.+'s shoulder . He kept shrugging his shoulder, saying, “Sleeping beauty, we’re here . ”

In front of the airport, Lin Dongxue embarra.s.sedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and yawned . “Why am I so sleepy today?”

“Your period?”

“Get lost!” Lin Dongxue waved her fist around . “Do you know how to respect people’s privacy? Especially regarding this kind of thing!”

“Don't hit, don't hit . What if we crash the car and die!”

Lin Dongxue sat down obediently, but she was still very sleepy . She thought about why she was so tired recently . She hadn’t had a good rest since the start of the Spring period .

They stopped the car and the two walked into the airport . Chen s.h.i.+ exclaimed, “It's so big!”

As they looked around, they heard someone shouting at them and turned to look at where the sound came from . Xu Xiaodong stood in front of a pa.s.sage and beckoned them over . The airport opened a special pa.s.sage for the police . It was possible to go in directly without security checks . Chen s.h.i.+ got to the door and stopped . “I want to go through the security check to see their normal procedures . Xiaodong, have you ever flown on a plane before?”

“Do the ones on the playground count?”

“Let’s go together!”

“There are so many pa.s.sengers . Don't make a commotion . ” Lin Dongxue said, “I'll tell you the process . Isn’t that fine?”

“No, no . You need to experience this kind of thing for yourself,” Chen s.h.i.+ said .

“I really can’t deal with you!”

The three showed their credentials and asked to pa.s.s through the security inspection channel . Chen s.h.i.+'s impression was “It really is strict!”

When they got to the waiting room, they saw a lot of policemen in police uniforms walking around the scene . These were people from the first team . The people of the second team were investigating inside the plane . Chen s.h.i.+ asked, “Where’s Old Peng?”

“Doing an autopsy! The airport provided a place for him to do the post-mortem,” said Xu Xiaodong .

“Let’s have a look . ”

As they approached, Xu Xiaodong stopped and said, “Oh, my breakfast was a little salty . I'll go and get some water . ”

Chen s.h.i.+ glared at him . “Why don’t you just say you don't want to see the autopsy?”

Xu Xiaodong had been found out . He laughed idiotically as Lin Dongxue instructed, “Wait here for us!”

The autopsy room provided by the airport was a small vacant warehouse . A colleague stood outside the door . When they pushed in, they didn’t smell any pungent odors . It turned out that Peng Sijue hadn’t begun to dissect the body . He was still examining the outside of the body .

Lying on an empty bed was a naked old man with grey hair . The tarpaulin next to the floor held his clothes . It was placed according to what his figure looked like . There was a pool of blood on his chest and it was clearly visible .

Chen s.h.i.+ squatted down to examine the blood stains . “From the degree of coagulation, the time of death was about three hours ago . ”

“It's been three and a half hours to be precise . I just measured the liver temperature,” Peng Sijue said .

“How did he die?” Chen s.h.i.+ stood up and looked at the body .

Peng Sijue held a ruler in his hand and pointed near the old man's throat . “A sharp weapon penetrated the throat . Due to the angle of the seat, most of the blood flowed back to the trachea, causing death due to suffocation . . . Time is tight . I don't plan to dissect the body . Go and look for the weapon!”

“A sharp weapon? Would that even be allowed on board?”

“Not only is it not, it would be impossible as well . Any metal object would be detected during the security check, and sharp weapons can’t be brought on the plane . Even the flight attendants don’t have scissors, knives and the like . Captain Lin has already asked . ”

Peng Sijue picked up a piece of paper with a picture of the weapon he constructed according to the shape of the wound . “The wound is 4 centimeters in width, 6 centimeters in depth, and cut at a 63-degree angle . It should be an object that is not sharp on both sides but has a sharp tip . ”

“Like an awl . ”

Peng Sijue corrected, “A flat awl!”
