Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Airplane Accident

"Don’t move!" Meng Hongyao pressed him down, taking out her police badge with one hand, "Police investigation, stay calm!"

The co-pilot’s body suddenly stiffened, his face turning deathly pale.

The chief steward and the pilot both sensed that something was amiss.

Meng Hongyao turned to look at them, "Quickly check the luggage he brought with him and search the cabin!"

The pilot and the chief steward exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

Meng Hongyao’s brows furrowed, and just as she was about to get angry, airport police also arrived.

Seeing this, Meng Hongyao let her two colleagues help restrain the co-pilot, instructing them, "Be careful, don’t let him move!"

The colleagues nodded in unison.

Only then did Meng Hongyao stand up to negotiate with the police present.

The airport police first confirmed the identities of Meng Hongyao and her team; after verifying they were correct, they began to ask what exactly had happened.

Meng Hongyao glanced at the ashen-faced co-pilot and quickly briefed them on the situation.

She couldn’t outright say that she deduced it from his face, only that the co-pilot’s behavior was abnormal and that they had recently received a tip-off that some unusual activity was expected at the airport, which is why they came to investigate undercover. Now they needed the airport’s help to check the co-pilot’s background and the cabin.

The airport police called over some colleagues to assist.

Some went to look into the co-pilot’s background, while others searched the entire cabin.

In less than half an hour, they had results.

The airport police found a bomb in the cargo section at the back of the cabin.

And the person who planted the bomb was the co-pilot.

A quick background check revealed that the co-pilot had recently been complained about frequently.

Not only that, he had gotten divorced due to an affair, and his mother had been diagnosed with cancer.

Before embarking on this flight mission, he had purchased a large accidental insurance policy for himself.

His motive was clear.

He wanted to disguise it as an accidental air disaster, thereby obtaining a large sum of insurance money for his mother’s medical treatment and for his child in college.

Other airport staff, including the chief steward and attendants, all said during the investigation that the co-pilot’s emotional state had indeed changed a lot recently. He used to be cheerful, fond of joking with others, and quite humorous, but in the past year, he had become moody, often losing his temper over trivial matters.

Once in the rest room, he suddenly became inexplicably furious, smashed his own cell phone, and wrecked the basic equipment in the room.

It seemed he was suffering from some psychological issues.

And the co-pilot, when questioned by the police, honestly confessed that he intended to commit insurance fraud.

But the pilot with him on this flight was very experienced and even trained in mixed martial arts.

Fearing that he couldn’t subdue the pilot and have time to control the plane alone, he secretly, over several occasions, brought the equipment needed to make the bomb into the cabin.

Under the guise of checking, he assembled the materials together.

All these materials were odds and ends he had purchased from brick-and-mortar stores and made himself.

For this event, he had been preparing for half a year.

When Meng Hongyao learned of the results of the investigation, she was already at the police station.

She personally delivered the person involved.

Upon receiving the investigation results, Meng Hongyao clutched the warning talisman Jiangli had given her; the Vermilion on it had already faded and lost its luster.

She exhaled softly, thankful that she had discovered the crisis in time. Otherwise, once the plane started, and she put on her eye mask to sleep, all that would await them was certain death.

"Hongyao, what happened here?" At that moment, Xun Tianhai, who had heard the news, rushed over and asked urgently, "I heard there was some kind of hijacking accident, is it true?"
