Chapter 321 What a pity, we are only one step away from the truth
The next day, the morning light broke.
After a night's rest, the delegation was in much better spirits.
The rain hasn't stopped yet, but the level of drizzle has little impact on takeoff.
Lin Siqiao had to get up earlier because of the problem with the landing gear yesterday and the captain needed to communicate in detail with the airport maintenance personnel.
While waiting for the maintenance personnel to inspect the aircraft, Lin Siqiao quickly took out the toiletries from his bag.
The toilets in airports at that time were not as big as those in later generations.
In the morning, there are many people going to the toilet and the queue takes a long time.
"Lisa?"
A surprised voice came from behind me. The other party spoke English, but the accent sounded like someone from Malaysia.
The girl standing in front of Lin Siqiao also covered her mouth in surprise when she heard the voice.
"Hannah, why are you here?"
The girl named Hannah strode forward, and after the two of them hugged each other warmly, she asked.
"Didn't you leave early the day before yesterday? I didn't expect to see you here."
Lisa sighed, "Don't mention it. The weather here has been bad since our plane landed here the day before yesterday."
"I've been at the airport for two days. If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the country for two more days."
"By the way, didn't you say you were going to stay in the country for a while? Why did you suddenly return?"
This is why Lisa was surprised just now.
"I wanted to stay longer, but my aunt said that the country is not peaceful recently and there are extremists who are unfriendly to Chinese people."
"Although we are not from China, we look like Chinese people, and others can't tell whether we are Chinese or not."
“So my aunt told me to come back to Malaysia as soon as possible, in case something happens and she can’t explain to my parents.”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Lisa smiled and said that she had seen the Chinese family murder case in newspapers and on the news, and it should be an isolated case.
"I originally thought my aunt was exaggerating, but when she sent me to the airport yesterday, I saw with my own eyes a madman driving his car and ramming it into someone's head without caring about his life."
"It wasn't enough to just hit him once, he hit him several times. I think he did it on purpose!"
"You say, if this isn't murder, then what is it?"
Lisa couldn't laugh anymore. "Another Chinese?"
"I'm not sure. Anyway, he is Asian. I think that old man is quite pitiful. He climbed out of the back seat of the taxi, and the man drove the car into him..."
"Did you see the driver's face?"
The two were still chattering when they were suddenly interrupted. When they looked up, they saw a tall girl.
Maybe it was because Lin Siqiao's eyes were too cold, the other party was stunned for a moment and then said, "No... I didn't see it. He was wearing a black veil. I only saw a side glance..."
…
"Hey, have you seen Translator Lin? We're almost boarding the plane, why is she gone?"
Head Jiang of the delegation is currently counting the names of the people on the list one by one.
The people who were asked all shook their heads and said, "I didn't see it."
"Shao Bin, take a few people with you to look for him, and the rest of you, come with me to go through security first."
As he was speaking, he saw Lin Siqiao's figure.
His face was obviously not right.
Normally, she would always smile even when she didn't speak, unlike now when there was no warmth in her eyes.
Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks. Who had offended Lin the translator?
Captain Jiang also noticed that something was wrong with her. Just as he was about to ask what happened, he heard Lin Siqiao's voice.
"Captain Jiang, what time does the plane take off?"
"We have to hurry and board the plane in half an hour at the latest."
Lin Siqiao's next words surprised the delegation members.
"Captain Jiang, please inform the crew and the tower first. Our plane will be delayed in taking off."
"Also, all luggage on the plane, including those packed boxes, should be re-checked."
Captain Jiang had worked with Lin Siqiao for a few days and knew that she was a calm person who would not say such things for no reason, so he did not ask anything.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. Everyone sit here for a while. I'll let you know when there's news."
After saying this, Captain Jiang hurried away with several soldiers.
“……”The rest of the people looked at each other.
Lin Siqiao knew the doubts in everyone's hearts. After calming down, she told everyone what she had just heard in the bathroom.
Originally, she didn't care.
Until the girl said, "It's not enough to hit him once, he hit him several times."
This style of doing things inexplicably reminded Lin Siqiao of that little boss.
When she heard the word "old uncle", she couldn't bear it anymore.
Sometimes the sixth sense is so accurate.
This series of conditions combined together, Lin Siqiao had to be on guard.
It was not until the other party mentioned that the person was wearing a black veil that she was sure that her guess was true.
Afterwards, Lin Siqiao found the police officer who was patrolling inside. After she showed him the translation certificate from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the other party agreed to her request to make an international long-distance call.
On the phone, Secretary Jin informed Lin Siqiao of the situation.
He also rushed back from the neighboring city early in the morning. The person in the accident was indeed the old man, and the antique shop was also reduced to ashes overnight.
Lin Siqiao also learned one thing from Secretary Jin's words. The old man must have discovered something new, but he didn't have time to say it because he was silenced by the other party.
"Before the old man left, he actually came to the embassy..."
The guard who interrogated me yesterday blamed himself so much that he didn't sleep the whole night and he still hasn't recovered.
Secretary Jin also learned about this matter and could only say that everything is fate.
Secretary Jin said with regret, "We are only one step away from revealing the truth of the Xie family's extermination. Now the last person who knew the truth has gotten into trouble. If we want to investigate further in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
It was when he heard these words that Lin Siqiao's brows jumped. The old man was gone, but those antiques were still there.
The other party will not let the old man go. Will they allow these things to return to the country?
If they enter China's territory, it will not be so easy for the other party to take action again!
Therefore, the only place they can strike is the airport.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Siqiao went to find the airport maintenance personnel and asked about the landing gear problem.
The other party also took out a very small screw with a look of surprise.
They have already confirmed that this is not a part of the plane.
Logically speaking, it should not appear inside the landing gear.
After listening to what Lin Siqiao said, what else is there that everyone doesn’t understand?
If the captain had not acted decisively, the plane would have been destroyed and everyone on board would have died.
After waiting for nearly two hours, Captain Jiang came back.
At the same time he also brought back a message.
