On the first day UAAG arrived in the town of Schaffhausen, Gao Yun told them that this Martha Flight 123 was bought by Martha Airlines for passenger and cargo transportation. However, this does not mean that it is a dual-purpose machine.

After an airline buys an aircraft, at the same time, it often only uses the aircraft for a single purpose. For example, Donghua Airlines, which worked in Fucheng before, will first use it as a civil airliner to transport passengers after they buy a plane. When the plane has been used for ten or twenty years and is too old, you either choose to sell it to other airlines or use it as a cargo plane.

Passenger comfort on passenger and cargo aircraft is completely different.

Of course, Masa Airlines is a low-cost airline, with cheap tickets, and passengers do not have high requirements for comfort.

Listening to Old Joseph's words, Fucheng felt incredible.

In 2020, he never thought that there would be airlines that squeeze pilots like this! This is unimaginable in China, which has extremely high requirements for flight safety.

When working as a passenger plane during the day and a cargo plane at night, the pilot seems to have become a perpetual motion machine and is not tired.

"Do they still have time to rest?" Fucheng asked.

Through telephone voice control, Old Joseph heard Fucheng’s words, and he sternly replied: “If you insist, there is still a break. After I came to the Marks and Spencer Airlines headquarters to inquire about the situation with the EASA investigators, I learned about them. The company’s prescribed rest time for pilots is ten hours. According to the schedule they assign to the pilots, it usually takes off at 8 in the morning and travels to and from the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. The passenger plane ends at 4 in the afternoon and the cargo plane starts at 6 in the afternoon. At nine o'clock in the evening, the pilot left work."

Lina counted the time: "That is to say, their working hours are from 8 in the morning to 9 in the evening..."

From get off work at nine o'clock in the evening, to work at eight o'clock the next morning.

Yes, there are eleven hours of rest. However, these eleven hours do not include the time taken by the pilot to go home, and do not include the pilot's preparation for flying the plane. If you want to take off at 8 o'clock in the morning, the pilot must board the plane one hour in advance for a flight inspection. If the flight ends at nine o'clock in the evening, they will have to spend at least another half an hour to make a suspension report.

Masa Airlines gave the pilots enough rest time, and even an hour's surplus.

But the time they can really rest is probably not even eight hours!

"What's the situation on Marks & Spencer?"

The old Joseph hesitated for a moment, and said: "Now I am standing at their gate, waiting for the special investigation order from EASA to continue the investigation. Marks and Spencer is only willing to disclose so much information to us, but their staff is on the list. There are indeed none of those two pilots. The five planes under their name also do not have this Masha 123. After the special investigation order is issued, the people from EASA and I will take them back to the investigation headquarters in London for official inquiry."

Zhuo Huan: "I have probably guessed what it is."

"Reid?" Old Joseph asked in surprise.

Zhuo Huan held the phone in one hand, he looked up at the vast blue sky, and slowly uttered four words——

"Leather Bag Company."

The soldiers were divided into two groups. Zhuo Huan arranged for Lina to collect the list of passengers related to Martha Airlines and find out those passengers who had taken the Martha Flight 123. They need to know what it has experienced when it was used as a passenger plane.

On the other side, Zhuo Huan and Fucheng returned to the candy factory together.

Investigators are still burying their heads in cleaning up the wreckage of the blast-damaged aircraft, identifying as much as possible these aircraft parts that have become fragmented, and placing them in categories.

Seeing Zhuo Huan and Fucheng coming back, Gao Yun walked up and asked, "How is the situation in the hospital?"

Fucheng glanced at Zhuo Huan and saw that his eyes were down. It was obvious that the uncle was in a bad mood today, so he replied: "The families of the two pilots have signed the autopsy consent form, and the preliminary autopsy results should be available the day after tomorrow. "

Gao Yun nodded: "I heard that Joseph Sr. applied for a special investigation order from the headquarters?"

Fucheng was silent for a moment, and asked: "How much do you know about Masa Airlines?"

Gao Yun couldn't help but smiled: "Major Fu, you are a Chinese pilot. You have not retired from the military for a long time. You don’t know the civil aviation industry. There are only more than 60 airlines in China, and almost all of them have national backgrounds. But Europe, don’t It is a small area, not much different from China, but it has more than 40 countries, and each country has at least two or three airlines. This is still a conservative estimate, so there are at least more than 100 airlines in Europe. SAA Airlines is already a well-known company, and there are countless small airlines that are not well-known."

In Europe, the establishment of an airline does not require much official approval. You only need to have capital and spend money to set up an airline.

Large ones, such as Lufthansa, have 282 aircraft.

A small airline may only own one aircraft.

With five aircraft, Masa Airlines is really a slightly famous airline in Europe.

Gao Yun continued: “But I don’t know much about Marks & Spencer Airlines. I only know that it takes both cheap passenger and cargo. However, it must be responsible for this incident. When a special investigation order is issued by the headquarters, even if they don’t I am willing to say that we will definitely know the truth."

Fucheng nodded slightly. Suddenly, from his outside light, he caught a glimpse of a man stepping to the side.

Zhuo Huan walked to an investigator. He put on his gloves and picked up an airplane fragment to examine it carefully.

Gao Yun asked other things, and the two exchanged for a while. Gao Yun went back to check the right engine failure, Fucheng took a step and walked to the door of the candy factory.

"Teacher Zhuo, what are you looking at?" The clear voice of the youth rang from the gurgling water hitting the talc in the Rhine Falls. Zhuo Huan paused slightly and looked up at him, "Can you see what part this belongs to?"

Fucheng looked at the maroon fragment in Zhuo Huan's hand. He squinted his eyes and observed it carefully for a long time: "...It was smashed so much that I couldn't recognize it."

This red fragment was only the size of the palm of a hand, and many delicate parts were crushed and flattened.

Fucheng analyzed: "I have seen the outer surface of Martha 123. It is an aircraft with a red logo on a white background. There are not many red materials used in the internal parts of the aircraft. I can remember a few things, this part. None of them. If I guessed correctly, this should be part of the outer surface of the aircraft. But what is the specific part... I don't know much about the ATR-72."

So he couldn't guess.

Zhuo Huan let out a soft "Oh", he looked down at the small part in his hand, and put it back again.

"ATR-72 aircraft design drawings have been passed over."

Fucheng looked at the man in front of him in astonishment.

Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows at him: "Would you like to see it?"

ATR is a French and Italian joint venture aircraft manufacturing company.

The ATR-72 is a twin-propeller aircraft that it mainly promotes, with more than 300 sales worldwide. It flew for the first time in 1988 and is often used as a civil aviation airliner. Unlike most civil airliners, its luggage compartment is in the front row of the cabin, and passengers generally enter the aircraft from the rear of the aircraft.

This twin-propeller aircraft consumes less fuel, is lighter, and is suitable for short-distance flights.

Uncle Zhuo used such a plain tone to say such earth-shattering words, even if Fucheng was calm and composed, he was shocked to speechless.

Design drawings of ATR-72...

Uncle Zhuo has it.

Uncle Zhuo, he has it.

Fucheng: "..."

At the next moment, he couldn't help saying: "Although ATR-72 has been almost discontinued now, its design drawings are still trade secrets. ATR company... directly sent the design drawings?"

The name Zhuo Huan is so influential among European aircraft manufacturers? !

Zhuo Huan raised an eyebrow lightly: "Who said it was given by ATR?"

Fucheng: "Huh?"

Zhuo Huan: "I haven't dismantled it, but someone dismantled it. Based on the disassembled parts of the aircraft, it is roughly restored to the drawing. The fineness is far less than the original version, but if you want to understand this aircraft, it is enough."

Fucheng: "..."

No matter how he thinks about it, he can't think of it, there is not only Uncle Zhuo in the world who dismantles planes.

If Su Fei and Old Joseph were here, they would definitely hate the last sentence: Damn rich people.

Fucheng was silent for a long time, he raised his head and chuckled softly: "Okay."

The best way to investigate an airplane accident is to get a thorough understanding of the airplane.

In Helsinki, the capital of Finland, when everyone was at a loss and did not know how to investigate the JAL 917 case. Zhuo Huan directly turned the spearhead to the engine, because this aircraft is F435. If anyone in the world knows McFly's best, Zhuo Huan must be one of them.

Too much understanding, close your eyes as if in front of you.

As a result, every inch and every centimeter of the error has been magnified to ten thousand times and is clearly visible.

The sense of incompatibility is probably the intuition of the so-called airplane designer.

For three days, Zhuo Huan and Fucheng were studying the design drawings of ATR-72. An airplane worth hundreds of millions of dollars has thousands of parts for each component. To understand it clearly, it is simply as difficult as the sky. However, not much time is left for them.

Every day, countless media are paying attention to the investigation of the Martha Flight 123 accident. On Twitter and Facebook, the number of netizens following this incident is increasing.

Truffau, this surname is enough to give this extremely ordinary plane crash an extraordinary degree of attention. People are concerned about the truth about the death of the wealthy heir, and they are also very concerned about what will happen to the Truffau Group that loses the heir.

On the fourth day after the crash, the autopsy report of the two pilots came out. Fucheng and Gao Yun went to get the autopsy report together. When they returned to the candy factory, Zhuo Huan was holding a printed drawing of the aircraft parts and comparing them to the crushed wreckage of Masha 123.

Seeing the two of Fucheng coming back, he looked up from the parts pile: "What was the result of the autopsy?"

Fucheng raised his head to look at him, his lips moved slightly, before he spoke, Zhuo Huan understood what he meant. He sneered: "No drinking, no drug driving, no sudden illnesses, except for sub-healthy physical conditions, there are no other doubts."

Fucheng: "...Hmm."

This answer was boring and meaningless, and Zhuo Huan took his gaze back without hesitation. He was sitting on the high engineering ladder, looking up at the parts placed on the high shelf. The originally long hair seemed to be longer. Its owner didn't mean to cut it at all. He just stroked it at random and tied it up with a crude rubber rope.

"Teacher Zhuo." Fucheng yelled softly.

Zhuo Huan paused slightly with his hand holding the design drawings. He lowered his head and looked down at the young man standing on the ground.

Fucheng looked at him calmly: "There is good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Huan Lengjun's face showed a very faint smile.

"Oh? I also have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Fucheng was stunned.

His eyes met for a long while, and no one spoke first.

Gao Yun on the side couldn't help it, and said, "Well, let's talk about it together. Major Fu, let's talk first. After we finish talking, listen to Mr. Zhuo. How?"

Fucheng: "Okay."

Zhuo Huan also no longer looked at the parts of the wreckage of the plane. He sat at the top of the ladder and looked at the young man on the ground seriously.

Fucheng grabbed his eyes and said in a calm tone: "The good news is that after the special investigation by EASA, the old Joseph met with the top of Martha Airlines in London. Why are these two pilots not employees of Martha Airlines, Martha? We already know the answer to why there is no such aircraft under the aviation name. And the bad news is..." He raised his head and looked at Zhuo Huan: "This answer is the same as you said, simple and ridiculous."

Gao Yun listened to this, and couldn't help being a little dazed. He looked at Fucheng blankly, and then at Zhuo Huan. He didn't know that Zhuo Huan had proposed a possibility three days ago.

And now, it was Zhuo Huan's turn to speak.

There was a prolonged "Oh" because the candy factory warehouse was too empty, and it became longer.

Zhuo Huan said in a tone without ups and downs: "Leather bag company. A company that only owns an aircraft, does not have any airline qualifications, but has established cooperation with regular airlines. Marks and Spencer sells air tickets for them and provides them to them. The planes parked at the airport. And from start to finish, what they have..."

After a pause, Zhuo Huan said calmly: "All they have is a plane and two pilots."

When Fucheng and Gao Yun heard the truth from the phone of the old Joseph, they both found it very funny.

However, when Zhuo Huan said it in such an ordinary tone, Fucheng suddenly felt that this matter was not so unacceptable.

There is never a coincidence in an air crash.

When Martha 123 crashed into the mountainside, before that, a dense and white bone had already paved its way to hell. The bones were torn alive from the bodies of the victims by Martha Airlines, and they were laid out one by one after the leather bag company took over the bloody bones.

It is the imperfect laws and regulations of the European aviation industry, and it is a rush of capitalists.

This is never an accident.

This is a long-planned murder.

a long time.

Fucheng: "Yes, what about your good news and bad news?"

Zhuo Huan clapped his hands and jumped off the ladder. He walked to Fucheng: "I found the first officer's rudder in the afternoon."

Fucheng: "?"

Zhuo Huan: "Good news. Although the black box data has not been downloaded yet, it can be determined by the position of the co-pilot rudder where the rudder finally gets stuck. It is 90% that it is not the pilot's operation error that caused the plane to crash. Until the last moment the plane hits the mountain. They are still trying to rescue, but based on what I know about ATR-72, Deputy Captain Geral Truffau is indeed not an excellent pilot, and his rescue method did not change the crash of the plane. "After thinking about it, Zhuo Huan added: "However, in the case of fatigue driving, without much experience, it is really difficult to make a correct and reasonable response in the first time."

"What about the bad news?"

"bad news?"

Zhuo Huan slowly raised the corners of his mouth. He turned around and looked at the debris of aircraft wreckage piled up all over the warehouse.

"Have you ever played a plane?"

Fucheng's heart was startled, and an unknown premonition suddenly surged.

Zhuo Huan groped his chin: "It always feels like something is wrong... So, let's put this plane together."

Fucheng: "..."

Gao Yun: "..."

The EASA investigator who accidentally heard this from a close distance: "..."

Listen! This is human words? !

The author has something to say:

Zhuo Anxi: Have you ever played puzzles?

Fu Chengcheng: Played.

Zhuo Anxi: Then you must really like to fight planes.

Fu Chengcheng:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
