Chapter 120 Is the second security check okay?
"Miss, if the cargo hold inspection results are clear, how will you compensate our airline and all our passengers for the missed flight?"
Liang Chuyue hung up the phone heavily, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes when she looked up.
Xia Lili was about to speak when a righteous rebuke suddenly rose from the crowd: "Don't you think it's excessive for you to besiege a newly recruited police officer like this?"
A middle-aged passenger with an elegant face stepped forward and said, "The police are considering everyone's safety. What if the hidden danger is not discovered and the plane has a problem in the air? At that time, would you still care so much about these few minutes?"
His wife and several disgruntled passengers agreed.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one!"
"If this girl wasn't concerned about the safety of the passengers, would she go to such great lengths?"
"That's easy to say!" a businessman in a suit and tie immediately retorted, "I'm in a hurry to sign a 30 million yuan contract. Can you afford to pay me if I'm delayed?"
"That's right!" the heavily made-up female passenger next to her shrieked in agreement. "It's not enough to go through security, now they're checking the cargo hold too. What a waste of everyone's time!"
Zhang Weinian said sarcastically, "You're all right. The police can't just say 'for safety' and let us suffer in silence, right?"
The atmosphere at the scene was tense and everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Lili.
"If there is no problem with the cargo hold of the plane, I will bear all the consequences."
Xia Lili wasn't shy. After several missions, she had become more stable. She looked at Liang Chuyue and asked, "What if we find any undeclared dangerous goods?"
Without waiting for an answer, she pressed on, "By then, will I have saved hundreds of lives on the entire crew? And saved the reputation of your Ruiling Airlines?"
Liang Chuyue was stunned by Xia Lili's confidence, then sneered, "Alright! If you really find out there's a problem, I'll kowtow and admit my mistake right here and then!"
"Not only will you get free first-class travel on all our flights for life, but you'll also have our private jet at your disposal!"
She raised her chin defiantly, "Is that enough?"
Xia Lili's lips curled slightly, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Remember what you said. When the test results come out, I hope Miss Liang will kneel down as hard as she is now."
The two men's eyes met in the air, the bet was made, and the entire waiting hall fell silent.
Ten minutes later, half an hour had passed since the second security check began.
Liang Chuyue's phone vibrated in her palm.
She glanced down, a sneer of triumph slowly curling up the corners of her mouth. She turned her phone screen towards the crowd: "My uncle just sent a message - the battery area in the cargo hold has been fully inspected, and no illegal batteries were found."
The waiting hall exploded instantly.
"Did you hear that? It's absolutely fine!"
"We've wasted so much time for nothing!"
"People like this should be dismissed and investigated!"
The few passengers who had previously spoken up for Xia Lili now huddled in a corner, their faces flushed, being pointed at and criticized by the angry crowd: "Weren't you being so righteous and outspoken just now? Why are you so silent now?"
"You're being too sanctimonious, aren't you? You should compensate me for my lost wages!"
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his frames and said sarcastically, "He's so young and can command airport security. Could he have gotten in through some special connections?"
Xia Lili's nails dug deep into her palms.
She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the news broadcast in her hallucination. The high-density energy lithium battery was hidden in a biological sample box and was not discovered. It was unknown what method was used to conceal it from security checks because the hallucination of the news broadcast was relatively short-lived.
But Xia Lili remembered that the appearance of the biological sample box was recorded in the video footage, which was photographed during the first security check.
"It can't go wrong."
Xia Lili's voice was as cold as ice. "You only checked the battery area. Where are the biological sample boxes? I want to open them and inspect them myself."
Hearing that a second security check at the airport was not enough, Xia Lili also had to go to the cargo hold in person, which made the already angry crowd even angrier!
Liang Chuyue rolled her eyes exaggeratedly: "Officer Xia, you can't afford to lose, right?"
"What do you know?" A passenger in a white coat suddenly stood up excitedly and accused Xia Lili, "The biological sample boxes contain precious research materials. Opening them will cause the samples to become inactive! Do you know how much these samples are worth?"
"That's right!" someone nearby immediately echoed, "The box is usually kept at a temperature of dozens of degrees below zero. Even if there are batteries, it can't explode. You're being unreasonable!"
Zhang Weinian took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Some people just rely on their power to mess with us businessmen to gain a sense of importance."
He deliberately raised his voice and said, "A position with a monthly salary of 3,000, but you hate the rich and you don't like everyone, right?"
Xia Lili turned a deaf ear to the sarcasm around her. She walked straight up to the two police officers, her gaze as firm as a torch. "Thank you for your hard work. To ensure everything is safe, I'd like to go to the cargo hold to confirm it myself. I wonder if you can lead the way now?"
The two airport police officers exchanged an awkward look.
The older man lowered his voice and advised, "Officer Xia, we have made an exception and cooperated with the secondary security check. If you don't have a reliable source of information..."
Xia Lili's fingertips unconsciously rubbed her fingers.
Her identity is only known to people at the level of Yangcheng General Administration. The General Administration has probably sent someone over, but the airport is too far away, a 45-minute drive away, so the people sent by the General Administration can only clean up the mess.
She couldn't tell anyone about her superpowers, and support from headquarters would take at least forty minutes to arrive.
Xia Lili dialed Li Qihan's number, but only a mechanical prompt tone came from the receiver - the other party was on the phone.
The gazes from all around pierced her like needles; even passengers from other flights gathered around her, whispering to each other.
"What's going on? Why are we suddenly not allowed to board the plane?" someone asked curiously.
"Look, that female officer. She insisted there were dangerous goods in the cargo hold and forced a second security check at the airport. But after a long search, they found nothing." The person beside her lowered their voice, deliberately letting Xia Lili hear. "Now she's embarrassed and can't admit her mistake, so she's just trying to hold it together."
"Tsk tsk, you're so pushy at such a young age..."
Xia Lili clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.
It's not that she didn't hear the harsh comments, nor was she aggrieved - her predictive ability had never been wrong, but this time, she clearly saw the high-density lithium battery and saw the tragic scene of it exploding ten thousand meters in the air.
It must still be in the cargo hold, but hidden deeper and with more sophisticated means, so that even the second security check failed to detect it.
Buzz——
The phone suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up.
It’s a MMS from Li Qihan.
