Chapter 732: A True Hostage
According to the information intercepted by Emma, before the take-off of MHM138, the ground crew of the airport was lucky to find a time bomb hidden in the cockpit and water circulation system when they were testing the safety of the passenger plane.
Not long after they reported this information to the command center, the time bomb on the airliner was artificially detonated, killing several ground crews.
In order to cover up the truth of the incident and prevent it from causing widespread panic, the official characterized the incident as a misoperation by ground staff during the maintenance process, which caused the passenger plane to catch fire and explode.
Just as the airport police department received an order to start an investigation into the origin of the bomb on the passenger plane, K383, which had just taken off, lost contact with the control center and did not restore communication until 3 minutes ago, and then the tower received the news that the passenger plane had been hijacked by terrorists using bombs.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, it belonged to the local security affairs of "Nasero", and he did not need to interfere at all. Unfortunately, when Emma retrieved the passenger list, she found a name that people cared about - Seke? Bakar.
Tang Fang is in a very unhappy mood, Egger? Stetman was the bait he deliberately put out to fish, and this kidnapping was simply a plan he would have taken. But I didn't expect that when there was still 1 hour to go to the trading time, such a thing suddenly happened.
Saike? Bakar became a hostage in the hands of terrorists! Unlike what happened to Iger, this is not acting, it is fact.
"Emma, is there a way to figure out what's going on inside the airliner?"
"Commander, the star orbit command center can hack into the internal monitoring network of the passenger plane through space-based satellites, but it will take a little time."
"Let's do it."
Emma took the order and left, Tang Fang turned his attention back to the present, and the female anchor was reporting the latest development of the incident.
The control tower has made contact with the K383 airliner and the police are negotiating with the terrorists. Listen to the other person's needs.
Don told Freya and Roy to wait, turned around and walked out of the café, glanced at the blue sky, summoned an observer, and flew towards the airspace where the airliner was.
At the same time, Emma sent a video footage.
in the picture. An Asian man about his age with a baseball cap on his head was standing at the doors of the first and regular cabins, holding a detonator in the palm of his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, sweating profusely outside.
The flight attendants, random guards, and first-class passengers were all driven by him to the ordinary cabin, and he was the only one left in the entire first-class cabin.
At this moment, Emma sent another character profile, about the identity and origin of the hijacker.
The data shows. The Asian man who hijacked the passenger plane is named Cui Enhao, 25 years old, whose ancestral home is a fourth-tier town in "Nasero", and now works in the ground support department of Gangadas Airport, specializing in the maintenance and maintenance of passenger planes.
"No wonder." Tang Fang swept through the increasingly crowded streets, looked at the "Kehanor" that had risen due north, pushed the door open and returned to the house, and sat back beside Freya. Tell the hostess to stock up on coffee.
With the safety supervision of the airport, it is impossible for ordinary people to bring such a thing as a bomb into the airport. But insiders are different, according to Cui Enhao's resume analysis, he has a certain level of skill in mechanical and electronic engineering, which is enough to support him to do such a shocking thing.
Roy, who had regained his composure, apologized to the boss and the proprietress after apologizing, walked up to Tang, and said seriously, "Brother Tang." I was wrong and won't do it again next time. ”
Tang Fang nodded and didn't say anything more.
The boy glanced back at the timetable and said, "Isn't it time for us to leave?" ”
"Wait."
Bai Hao has not yet received instructions from "Alice", and it is very likely that the other party will temporarily change the place of trading. There is no benefit in going early, and there is a possibility of startling the snake, and besides, the matter of Saike is also a problem.
Unlike a huge warship, the passenger shuttle is located inside the atmosphere, and it is difficult for both ghosts and fanatics to gain control of the passenger plane without harming the passengers, not to mention that Choi Eun-ho has a detonator in his hand and can blow the passenger plane to pieces at any time.
Does he think about it for a moment, or will he put Saike? Roy was told about the danger Bakar was facing.
It was already the lunch break, and the customers in the café gradually increased, the boss and the proprietress were busy receiving customers, and they had no time to care about the Tang Fang and the three, and most of the customers who sat down were attracted by the TV picture, ignoring the shocked and flustered face of a teenager at the table near the window.
It took Roy a moment to come back to his senses, and said worriedly, "Seke is going to be fine, right?" Brother Tang, do you have a way to save that airliner? ”
"It's not that there is no way, the premise is that we must know the part of the airliner where the bomb is located, and doing so will also expose our identity and ability, and we will not be busy with it, see what the official ......"
At this point, he suddenly stopped, and his face became a little strange.
Emma sent another live video, Saike? Bakar came to the first-class door from the tail of the cabin at some point, and it seemed that he was negotiating with Choi Eun-ho.
"Emma, can you figure out what they're talking about?"
"Wait a minute."
A few seconds later, the sound of Choi Eun-ho talking with Saike sounded in his head.
"Why can't you choose such an extreme act in a gentler way, when there are many people like your father and many children behind me, and you can't bear to take their lives?"
"I know that you are not a terrorist at all, just a poor person in desperation."
"You know, I've seen a lot of people who have been treated unfairly, like what you've been through, some of them worse. And, I'm sure, there are a lot of people in the regular class who have also been subjected to injustice and bullying today. They are all the same as you, with hatred and unwillingness, can you really do it to these people who are sick and sympathetic? ”
"Come on, put down your guns, let these civilians go, I promise you, I will do everything in my power to get justice for you."
Cui Enhao pointed a gun at Saike and shook his head gently: "I know that you are a member of the Legal Alliance, and I also know that you are the Saike who has helped many people?" Bakar, but it's too late, you can't help me at all, or ...... You can't beat those people at all. Those officials, those nobles who are high. ”
"I am grateful to you and believe in your promises, but I have no faith in the law, no faith in the kingship, no faith in the country. So. I'm sorry, I can't promise you. ”
"For them, mild protests are never taken seriously, but rather repression, and only in a more intense way can they feel the pressure and give some attention to people like us."
Saike? Bakar said: "Don't you think it's too expensive to get noticed in this way? ”
Cui Enhao had a desperate smile on his face: "Could it be that there is another way?" We are not like the social elite like you, who always live in the spotlight. There is fame, prestige, foreign media assistance, and many influential comrades. Those who are high up and above have never seen our suffering, they have not heard our voices, and no one is willing to cry out for us and fight for our rights. We are like a tower base buried in the ground. With the backbone supporting the bright lights and golden splendor above, people only know how to appreciate the beauty above. Never pay attention to the bleakness below. ”
"The only way to get people to pay attention to it is to break the spine and knock the ribs down, which might cause a crack in the exterior wall, or deform, so that the people above will lean down to look at us."
Saike sighed. Sweeping the ordinary cabin, the civilians who were staring at the two of them suddenly felt a sense of decadence and powerlessness. Choi Eun-ho actually knows very well that what he is doing is wrong, but other than that, he can't find any way to resist that injustice, he can only end his personal hatred with more hatred, and he can only end his personal tragedy with more tragedy.
What he saw in Choi Eun-ho's eyes was despair, numbness, and madness. and the light of perseverance, the man standing in front of him, who has given up life and hope, has become a poor devil.
It is not a devil who is willing to fall, but an alternative devil who has good thoughts and justice, but can only implement his ideas in the devil's way.
"You know, I'm here to get those kids out of here and to live in a place where they can live." Saike pointed to a few children in the back row of the ordinary cabin who were staring at his back.
They are only eleven or twelve years old, and their long-term malnutrition has seriously affected their physical development, and they appear to be extremely thin compared to their peers.
"That's what one of my partners in the Legal League entrusted me with."
Saike's expression was very lonely: "Can you bear to see these children who have just escaped from the tiger's mouth, leaving this world with regret and sadness without living a good life for half a day?" ”
Choi Eun-ho swept the detonator in his palm, which was already wet with sweat, and did not speak.
Saike continued: "Give them a chance, and give yourself a chance. ”
"Before this, I met a man, and with his help, I met the Lord Regent, and I also met Prince Melol, so, please believe me, I can help you, and I have the power to help you."
Choi Eun-ho clenched the gun in his hand again, and a desperate smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am really grateful to you, however, this is 'Nacello', the territory of Prince Turamon......"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can really help me get justice, what about the others? There are many, many more people like me, can you help me? The so-called law is nothing but a shackle around the necks of people like us, and it cannot save us. ”
This time it was Saike's turn to be silent.
Choi Eun-ho is right, he has become friends with Tang Fang, he has crossed paths with His Royal Highness the Regent, and he is even pinned on by the partners of the Legal Alliance, but what can he do?
He can help many people, but he can't save many more.
Just then, the telephone on the bulkhead rang. Choi Eun-ho walked over slowly and pressed the answer button.
The light and shadow on the monitor flashed, and the cold face of the person in charge of the airport appeared in front of the two.
"Choi Eun-ho, do you know what kind of felony it is to hijack an airliner? Why. ”
This kind of talk will not bring any effect to a person who is determined to live and die. Therefore, Cui Enhao's face did not change at all, and he said calmly: "I know." ”
The person in charge of the airport, Li Se, said: "Immediately stop the hijacking, or we may be able to seek leniency." ”
Cui Eun-ho said, "Leske, are you just talking to me about these things?" ”
A mocking smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he looked at Leske's face like a circus clown...... Once upon a time, that face was a symbol of power and a synonym for fear in front of all the employees of the airport.
But when he put life and death aside, he found that the old face was so ugly, so disgusting, so insignificant, no different from an old dog that could only bite and bark.
Saike thought about it and decided to leave the first class first, waiting for Choi Eun-ho to talk to Leske about the conditions, and see if he could be persuaded to give up the hijacking.
But when he pointed to the ordinary cabin and was about to leave, Cui Enhao suddenly stopped him: "Don't go, I want to ask you to be a witness." ”
Saike retracted the steps he had taken, looking puzzled.
Choi Eun-ho didn't respond to his question, turning his head to look at Leske.
"I want to see the mayor of Gangadas."
"You want to see the mayor?" Leske frowned and said, "Why?" ”
"Ask him to apologize, in front of the media, like those who have been treated unfairly."
"Ridiculous!" "How can the mayor apologize to a terrorist, it's impossible," Leske said. ”
Before Choi Eun-ho could speak, Saike walked into the camera range and said coldly, "Why is it impossible?" Isn't the life of a few hundred people on the entire passenger plane as important as an apology? ”
"Also, why can't he apologize to a terrorist? Choi Eun-ho's behavior is wrong, and this does not hide the injustice he suffered, and if the mayor has something wrong, why can't he apologize? ”
Leske was speechless, and turned to say angrily: "Who are you?" ”
"Seck? Bakar, a lawyer. ”
"Seck? Bakar? ”
Leske repeated the name, as if remembering something, and his gaze became a little stiff: "Why are you on the airliner too?" ”
"It doesn't matter how I'm on the airliner, the important thing is that he wants to see the mayor, who has hundreds of lives in his hands."
The face of the person in charge of the airport was blue and white, and he changed several times in a row before he looked at Cui Enhao, gritted his teeth and said, "I will contact the mayor." With that, the communication was disconnected.
Choi Eun-ho smiled.
He had achieved his goal, so he should have laughed, but bitterly.
"If Leske didn't know about your existence, would he have agreed to contact the mayor like that?"
Saike? Bakar opened his mouth and found that he could not say a word.
What Choi Eun-ho is doing is crazy, his speech and demeanor are not crazy at all, on the contrary, he is very calm, like an old man on the beach who ignores the huge waves set off by the tsunami in the distance, has lost the will to live, and just wants to see the sunset on the horizon at the last moment of his life. (To be continued.) )
PS: To be honest, I don't actually plan to add more this month, because the website has sent a lot of bonus coins recently, and readers have no benefit for the author to subscribe to the chapter with the bonus coins, and adding more during this period represents the loss of their own income, and I am ready to save some manuscripts to cope with the upcoming Spring Festival, and ensure that I will continue to update during that time.
At the beginning of the month, the ID was "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" book friends rewarded 100 yuan, leaving a message hoping to add more, but because I was really handicapped and nitpicking, so I could only code a little more than 5000 a day, and I could only code a few hundred words more when I was in a good state, and I was about to extract my teeth, and the quality of sleep was very poor, and I had to take time out to take a drip, and I was already forcing myself to insist, so I didn't agree.
But I've always kept it in my heart.
When it's almost Christmas, "get up" and say it's almost the holidays, I'll give you some apples. Then, he really sent a box of apples...... Well, there's also IMBA's Christmas Eve tip.
I was really moved, so I went to TMD to lose subscriptions, and finally decided to add more, just as a Christmas gift for everyone.
