The family of Captain Kyle Schulman arrived at the investigation headquarters on time at 8 o'clock the next morning.

When Lina told Fucheng that the family of the killed captain was already waiting for him in the conference room, Fucheng was taken aback first, and he looked up at the clock on the wall. "Eight and two, so punctual?"

Lina smiled and said, "In fact, they entered the door at exactly eight o'clock, and every second is not bad."

Fucheng nodded thoughtfully, took the recorder and the information book, and came to the meeting room.

Fucheng was mainly responsible for the inquiries of the families of the killed captain, with Su Fei assisting. After the two opened the recorder, Fucheng was straight to the point: "Sorry, please. My name is Evan·Fu. I am a member of the UAAG air crash investigation team. I am mainly responsible for the investigation of the American Airlines 4012 accident. We have seen it last night, please today. You are here to ask something about Captain Kyle. Is this Captain Kyle's son?"

Fucheng turned his head to look at the big boy sitting next to Mrs. Shulman.

When he arrived at the hotel last night, he only saw Mrs. Shulman, not her son. See you now for the first time.

This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy wearing a small brown-red suit and a brown bow tie around his neck. Suddenly, Fucheng asked him. He was startled and didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at his mother as if seeking her advice. Mrs. Shulman's face was pale, her hands tightly pinched her clothes, her mouth opened uneasily, and she answered her son: "Yes, he is my son David."

Looking at the interaction between the mother and the son, Fucheng pondered for a while, and smiled: "Hello, David, you can call me Evan."

David lowered his head and said nothing.

Su Fei scanned the eyes of the mother and son, even if it was him, they felt that there was something weird between them.

Fucheng continued: "Then let's get to know Captain Kyle's daily life first. According to the information, he is in good health and he has regular physical examinations every year. It seems that he will go to the gym every week?"

Throughout the morning, Fucheng and Su Fei conducted detailed interviews with the family of Captain Kyle.

David Shulman hardly spoke, he always lowered his head, and his mother answered everything. Mrs. Shulman also had a cautious attitude. She listened to every question of Fucheng very carefully and tried her best to solve his doubts. Both of them wore glamorous and very formal attire, but they looked cautious, but they seemed to be two suspects, being interrogated.

Fucheng personally sent Schulman and his son away from the investigation headquarters.

After the two of them left, Su Fei turned off the recorder and said, "If we didn't know, we were investigating an air crash, not a murder case. As far as their guilty conscience is, I really Suspect, this mother and son are the murderers, at least they know who the murderer is." Su Fei looked at Fucheng in shock, "Fuck, I guessed it, right? Captain Kyle is suicidal. , His family knew about this, so they were so scared to help him hide it?"

Fucheng: "..."

"Have you watched too many American TV dramas?"

"It's written like this on TV. Otherwise, Brother Fu, tell me why Schulman and his son are so nervous. There is no evidence to prove that it was the captain's fault, and the pilot who flew that day was not Captain Kyle, but the deputy. Captain Tim. If it turns out to be human, the more likely fault should be Tim and not Kyle. Why are they so scared."

"..."

"You can't tell."

Lina passed by and looked at Su Fei's smug expression and Fucheng's speechless look. She smiled and said, "What's wrong, something went wrong in the interview? Can you tell me something."

Fucheng suddenly remembered that Lina had said that she had a master's degree in psychology from Yale University. Contrary to Su Fei's guess, in Fucheng's view, Shulman's mother and son's behavior didn't look like a ghost in their hearts, but rather seemed to have some special psychological barriers.

Thinking of this, Fucheng looked at Lina with a solemn expression: "There is indeed something, I want to ask you. The specific situation is like this..."

Fucheng told Lina about the interview with Schulman's mother and son in the morning.

Lina's expression became more and more serious.

"Fu, maybe I should interview Schulman mother and son with you." In the morning, Lina received other jobs temporarily, so she asked Su Fei to replace herself and receive Shulman mother and son with Fucheng. She said: "From my experience, your guess is correct. The Schulman's mother and son's performance is not because they think the captain Kyle Schulman may be the responsible person and feel ashamed. It's because they don't. It’s a backbone to give them a choice."

Lina explained: “In 1967, the American psychologist Seligman proposed the'learned helplessness' effect when experimenting with dogs. He locked the dog in a cage and turned on the buzzer. As long as the bee As soon as the buzzer sounded, he would give an electric shock to the dog. The dog was locked in a cage and could not escape, so he could only be forced to receive an electric shock. After conducting many experiments in this way, he turned on the buzzer again and opened the cage door at the same time. But not only did the dog not run, but when the electric shock was not activated, it actively fell to the ground and groaned. Because it had lost the ability to call for help and grasp hope, instead it was actively waiting for the electric shock to arrive. Help effect."

"If the parents of a family are too strong, there are often two changes for the children. The first is excessive rebellion, and the second is learned helplessness. I don’t know how to resist, don’t resist, and don’t resist, even if They are old enough to resist their parents, but because they have been restrained by invisible cages and shocked from childhood, they have lost the ability to escape, so they will not get rid of this state of embarrassment."

"Of course, David Shulman has not yet reached the point of'actively waiting for an electric shock', but it is obvious that he is a child who has been oppressed for a long time. When you take the initiative to speak to him, he did not answer you the first time. , But to seek the opinions of his mother. This shows that in his subconscious, he has no right to actively communicate with the outside world."

Fucheng frowned and said, "But in my opinion, Mrs. Shulman doesn't seem to be a very powerful person."

"What about Kyle Shulman?"

Fucheng's heart tightened, and he looked up at Lina.

Lina: "A family does not necessarily need two fascists. As long as there is a strong enough father, he is enough to control his wife and son. Now the master of the family has suddenly passed away, and the wife and son are suddenly lost. So they don't know. How to choose."

"After the wreckage of the plane was discovered, they didn't come to Boston the first time because no one told them to come, so they kept waiting at home."

"When the UAAG invited them to come to Boston, they were interviewed and asked, and they left. Because they got the'order', they numbly accepted the order and came to this city."

"You told Mrs. Shulman last night that you would be waiting for them at the investigation headquarters at 8 o'clock the next morning, so at 8 o'clock exactly, every second, they showed up."

Lina sighed: "Little Shulman is only sixteen years old, but Mrs. Shulman has been'educated' for many years. Perhaps in this father's overpowering family, it is not his son who is really affected the most. It's his wife. She no longer has the ability to take the initiative to escape from the cage. Of course, all this is just my analysis. I didn't talk directly with them, mother and son, and I couldn't distinguish the specific situation clearly."

Fucheng was silent for a long time, he turned around, and said to Su Fei: "Kyle Shulman has a very strong personality."

Su Fei was already dumbfounded. After a while, he nodded: "Okay, I'll take it down."

Lina: "Fu, let me receive the interviewee with you next."

Fucheng nodded lightly.

Psychology is a mysterious and important science. When questioning the interviewee, Lina can better judge the other's true intentions from the other's tone, words, and even expressions. This is also the reason why Zhuo Huan let Fucheng and Lina be responsible for the investigation of relevant personnel together.

In the afternoon, the two met with American Airlines and the airport staff again.

He had an inference about Captain Kyle's character in advance, and when Fucheng asked questions again, he had a directivity.

Fucheng: "Have you ever flew with Captain Kyle? May I ask what was going on when you were on duty together."

The pilot interviewed was stunned and replied: "Captain Schulman is a serious pilot. He is very good. The time we flew together, he was in charge of the piloting of the aircraft, and I was in charge of radio communications and instrument checks. . His driving skills are very good, without a bump in the whole journey. He is a very respectable and excellent pilot."

Lina: "When you were flying together, was there anything that impressed you?"

He thought for a while: "Yes. One time when the stewardess came to deliver the meal, I ate meal B, and Captain Schulman ate meal A. But he didn't like the taste of meal A, so I proposed to exchange meals with him. . But he was sternly rejected. It was an hour later before he ate the new meal B served by the stewardess."

Fucheng: "Okay, we know. By the way, one last question. According to the information, you have flew together five times, but you always call Captain Schulman, not Captain Kyle... …why?"

Without even thinking about it, the pilot blurted out: "I feel like this is called, and I respect Captain Shulman more. He doesn't seem to be a good joke."

Fucheng and Lina looked at each other.

After the pilot left, Fucheng wrote in the information book: "Serious, old-fashioned, not easy to get close to."

Lina: "Because I don't like meal A, I insist on eating meal B. This reflects his stubborn and inflexible side of his character. When the deputy captain proposed to exchange meals, he rejected the other party. It is a strong personality and The embodiment of authoritative personality. And pay attention to the pilot’s words, which is a severe rejection. In his subconscious, he may not even realize it, and his memory of this matter is still fresh. So he did not notice it subjectively, but subconsciously I think Kyle Schulman is very strict and he has a hint of fear."

Fucheng looked at her: "Will this be one of the causes of the air crash?"

Lina thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know."

The interview task gradually reached a deadlock.

The person involved, Kyle Schulman, has passed away in an air crash. If you want to understand this person and the relationship between him and the deputy captain Tim Harrison, you can only speculate from the words of others, like a peek inside. However, in the evening, things suddenly turned around.

The person interviewed was a high-level administrator at Logan Airport.

"I was in the crew lounge once and heard Kyle Shulman reprimanding Tim Harrison from a distance. Of course, it was not before the crash, it was a long time ago, at least a year ago. At that time. It seems that Harrison’s pre-flight inspection was not done well, and there was an error in communication with the airport. However, I just passed by and heard a little bit, but did not hear clearly."

Fucheng's expression shrank, and he immediately said: "In fact, the two have only flew together three times. This time is their third time. The first two times occurred in March 2020, and one occurred in July. Please remember carefully, the time you heard Kyle scold Tim, was it in spring or summer?"

After reminiscing for a long time, the other party solemnly gave the answer: "Summer."

At night, Fucheng printed out all the visit reports for the whole day, sorted them into a book, and handed them to Zhuo Huan.

He came to the first floor.

In the tall and spacious warehouse, Zhuo Huan is discussing the mechanical failure of the rudder of the aircraft with Lowens.

In front of them was a servo valve corroded by sea water, rusty and green. At the moment of falling into the sea, the huge impact force caused the entire aircraft to be greatly impacted, but the servo valve placed inside was not destroyed, but was twisted by force. Lowens is arguing with Zhuo Huan whether it is possible that the twisted posture of the servo valve was caused before it fell into the sea.

"This is a precedent, Richard dived. In 1996, US Airways Flight 3157, the captain drove the plane head into the Great Salt Lake. One of the possible reasons for the later inference is that the servo valve failed Patrick. If an aircraft is Accelerating into the sea due to mechanical failure, then I believe that servo valve failure is definitely one of the most probable reasons." Lowens argued for reasons, "And as far as this twisted posture is concerned, the possibility is extremely high. I suggest Send it to Airbus headquarters for inspection."

Zhuo Huan: "That's a Boeing design failure, and this plane is Airbus. Don't waste time, the servo valve is definitely not one of the reasons."

Lowens refused to accept: "Why?"

Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows, he seldom met anyone who refuted him so confidently. He laughed, and was about to speak, when an elegant male voice came from behind: "Because of this plane, Mr. Zhuo has dismantled it."

Zhuo Huan and Lowens looked back together.

Lowens: "..."

He willingly bowed to the wind: "Okay, then I will check the engine failure first."

After Lowens left, Fucheng walked up.

Zhuo Huan looked at him with a smile but a long voice: "Why don't I know, I have dismantled an Airbus A390?"

Fucheng was taken aback: "...You haven't demolished it?"

Zhuo Huan said casually: "The Airbus A390 is a new aircraft that only made its maiden flight in May of 2019. I resigned from McFly in June. All the aircraft I dismantled before were purchased by McFly. So you said , Have I dismantled it?"

Fucheng: "..."

"Mai Fei bought all the planes you dismantled?"

Lazily said: "Yeah."

Fucheng: "..."

Dare to be a fake local tyrant!

Fucheng expressionlessly: "Then I will call Lowens back."

Zhuo Huan couldn't help but laughed out: "Well, I dismantled the Airbus A390."

Fucheng looked at him strangely, his eyes motioned: You just said that Mai Fei didn't buy you another plane.

Uncle Zhuo asked back: "If Mai Fei doesn't buy it, I can't buy it myself?"

"..."

This horse is still the evil capitalist!
