The family members of Captain Kyle Schulman arrived at the investigation headquarters on time at eight o'clock the next morning.
When Lina told Fucheng that the family members of the pilot who died were already waiting for him in the conference room, Fucheng was taken aback for a moment, and he looked up at the clock on the wall. "Eight zero two, so on time?"
Lina smiled and said, "Actually, they entered the door at eight o'clock exactly, so every minute and every second is exactly right."
Fu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, took the recording pen and the data book, and came to the conference room.
Fu Cheng was mainly in charge of the inquiries about the family members of the dead pilot, with Su Fei assisting. After the two of them turned on the recorder, Fu Cheng cut to the chase: "My condolences. My name is Evan Fu, and I am a member of the UAAG air accident investigation team. I am mainly responsible for the investigation of the accident of American Airlines 4012. We met last night. Today please You are here to ask about Captain Kyle. Is this the son of Captain Kyle?"
Fu Cheng turned his head to look at the big boy sitting beside Mrs. Shulman.
When he arrived at the hotel last night, he saw only Mrs. Shulman, not her son. This is the first time seeing you now.
This is a big boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a small brown-red suit and a brown bow tie around his neck. Fu Cheng asked him suddenly, he was startled, and didn't answer immediately, but looked at his mother, as if seeking her advice. Mrs. Shulman's face was pale, her hands were tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, she opened her mouth uneasily, and answered for her son, "Yes, he is my son David."
Seeing the interaction between the mother and the son, Fu Cheng pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Hello, David, you can call me Evan."
David lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Fei glanced at the mother and son, even he felt that there was something weird about these two people.
Fucheng continued: "Then let's learn about Captain Kyle's daily life first. According to the information, he is in good health, has regular physical examinations every year, and seems to go to the gym every week?"
Throughout the morning, Fu Cheng and Su Fei conducted detailed interviews with the family members of Captain Kyle.
David Shulman hardly spoke. He always kept his head down, and his mother answered everything. Mrs. Schulman also had a cautious attitude. She listened very carefully to every question Fucheng had and tried her best to answer his questions. Both of them were wearing bright and very formal attire, but their cautious appearance seemed to be two suspects being interrogated.
Fucheng personally sent Shulman mother and son away from the investigation headquarters.
After the two left, Su Fei turned off the recorder, and said puzzledly: "If we didn't know, we were investigating an air crash, not a murder case. With their guilty looks, I really I suspect that this pair of mother and son is the murderer, at least they know who the murderer is." Su Fei stared at Fu Cheng in shock, "Fuck, I guessed it right, right? Captain Kyle has suicidal tendencies , His family members know about this, so they are so afraid, help him hide it?"
Fucheng: "..."
"Have you watched too many American dramas?"
"That's what's written on TV. Otherwise, Brother Fu, tell me why the Schulman mother and son are so nervous. There is no evidence to prove that it was the captain's fault, and the pilot who was flying that day was not the captain Kyle, but the deputy. Captain Tim. If it is found to be human-made, the more likely fault should be Tim, not Kyle. Why are they so afraid."
"..."
"You can't tell."
Lina passed by, seeing Su Fei's smug expression and Fu Cheng's speechless expression, she smiled and said, "What's the matter, something went wrong in the interview? Can you tell me about it?"
Fucheng suddenly remembered that Lina said that she had a master's degree in psychology from Yale University. Contrary to Su Fei's guess, from Fucheng's point of view, Schulman's mother and son didn't seem to have ghosts in their hearts, but seemed to have some special psychological barrier.
Thinking of this, Fucheng looked at Lina with a solemn expression: "There is indeed something I want to ask you for advice. The specific situation is as follows..."
Fucheng told Lina everything about the morning interview with Shulman's mother and son.
Lina's expression became more and more dignified.
"Fu, maybe I should interview Shulman's mother and son with you." In the morning, Lina temporarily received other work, so she asked Su Fei to receive Schulman's mother and son with Fucheng instead. She said: "Based on my experience, you guessed right. The Schulman mother and son behaved like this not because they felt that the captain Kyle Schulman might be responsible and felt guilty. It was because they didn't provide a backbone to give them input on their options.”
Lina explained: "In 1967, American psychologist Seligman proposed the 'learned helplessness' effect when experimenting with dogs. He put the dog in a cage and then turned on the buzzer. As long as the bee As soon as the buzzer sounded, he would give the dog an electric shock. The dog was locked in a cage and could not escape, and could only be forced to receive the electric shock. After conducting many experiments like this, he turned on the buzzer again, and then opened the cage door at the same time. But the dog not only didn’t run, but even when the electric shock was not turned on, it voluntarily fell to the ground and trembled and moaned. Because it had lost the ability to call for help and hold on to hope, instead it was actively waiting for the electric shock to come. This is learned incapacity. helping effect."
"If the parents in 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 know how to resist, don't resist, even if They are old enough to resist their parents, but they have lost the ability to escape because they have been restrained by invisible cages and given electric shocks since they were young, so they will not get rid of this trapped state."
"Of course, David Shulman has not 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 talk to him, he does not answer you in the first place , but to seek the advice of his mother. This shows that in his subconscious mind, he does not have the right to actively communicate with the outside world."
Fu Cheng frowned and said, "But in my opinion, Mrs. Schulman doesn't seem like a very powerful person."
"What about Kyle Shulman?"
Fucheng's heart tightened, 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 passed away suddenly, and the wife and son suddenly lost their backbone. So they don't know How to choose."
"After the wreckage was found, they didn't come to Boston immediately because no one told them to come, so they have been waiting at home."
"When the UAAG invited them to come to Boston for interviews, they left. Because they got the 'order', they accepted the order numbly and came to this city."
"You told Mrs. Shulman last night that you would be waiting for them at the investigation headquarters at eight o'clock the next morning, so at eight o'clock, exactly, they showed up."
Lina sighed: "Little Shulman is only sixteen years old, but Mrs. Shulman has been 'educated' for many years. Perhaps in this family where the father is too strong, the one who is really affected the most is not his son, but It's his wife. She no longer has the ability to voluntarily escape from the cage. Of course, all this is just my analysis. I haven't talked directly to the mother and the child, and I can't tell the specific situation clearly."
Fucheng was silent for a long time. He turned around and said to Su Fei, "Kyle Shulman has an extremely strong personality."
Su Fei was stunned for a long time, and after a while, he nodded: "Okay, I will write it down."
Lina: "V, next I will receive the interviewee with you."
Fu Cheng nodded slightly.
Psychology is a mysterious and important subject. When interrogating the interviewee, Lina can better judge the other party's true intentions from the other party's tone, words, and even expressions. This is why Zhuo Huan asked Fu Cheng and Lina to be responsible for the investigation of relevant personnel.
In the afternoon, the two met with American Airlines and airport staff.
Having made an inference about the character of the captain Kyle in advance, when Fucheng asked questions again, he had a direction.
Fu Cheng: "Have you ever flown with Captain Kyle? May I ask what was the situation when you were on duty together?"
The pilot who was interviewed was stunned, and replied: "Captain Schulman is a serious pilot. He is very good. When we flew together, he was in charge of piloting the plane, and I was in charge of radio communication and instrument inspection. .His driving skills are very good, there is not a single bump in the whole journey. He is a very admirable and excellent pilot."
Lina: "Is there anything that impressed you when you flew together?"
He thought for a while: "Yes. Once when the flight attendant 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 offered to change the meal with him But he sternly rejected it. After an hour, he ate the new meal B served by the stewardess."
Fu Cheng: "Okay, we got it. By the way, one last question, the information shows that you have flown together five times, but you have always called Captain Schulman, not Captain Kyle... why?"
Without thinking about it, the pilot blurted out: "I feel that calling him that way gives more respect to Captain Schulman. He doesn't seem like a good joker."
Fucheng and Lina looked at each other.
After the pilot left, Fucheng wrote in the data book: "Serious, old-fashioned, not easy to get close to."
Lina: "Because he didn't like meal A, he insisted on eating meal B, which reflects his stubborn and inflexible side. When the co-pilot proposed to exchange meals, he refused the other party, which is a strong character and The embodiment of authoritative personality. And pay attention to the words used by the pilot, which is a strict rejection. In his subconscious, he may not be aware of it, and he still remembers it. So he didn’t notice it subjectively, but subconsciously I think Kyle Schulman is tough, he has a little bit of a scare."
Fu Cheng looked at her: "Could this be one of the reasons for 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, had died in the air crash. If he wanted to know about this person and his relationship with co-pilot Tim Harrison, he could only speculate from the few words of others, like a glimpse of a leopard. However, in the evening, things suddenly turned around.
The interviewee was a senior administrator at Logan Airport.
"I was in the crew lounge once and I heard Kyle Schulman berating Tim Harrison from a distance. Of course, it wasn't 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 a mistake in communicating with the airport. But I just passed by and heard a little bit, but I didn’t hear it clearly.”
Fu Cheng's expression froze, and he immediately said: "In fact, these two people have only flown together three times. This is their third time. The first two times happened in March 2020, and the other happened in July. Please recall carefully, the time you heard Kyle reprimand Tim, was it spring or summer?"
After recalling it for a long time, the other party solemnly gave the answer: "Xiamen."
At night, Fucheng printed out all the interview reports for the whole day today, compiled them into a book, and handed them to Zhuo Huan.
He came to the first floor.
In the tall and spacious warehouse, Zhuo Huan was discussing the mechanical failure of the plane's rudder with Lovins.
In front of them was a servo valve that had been corroded by seawater, rusted and turned green. At the moment of falling into the sea, the huge impact force caused the entire aircraft to suffer a great impact, but the servo valve placed inside was not destroyed, but was twisted by force. Lovins was arguing with Zhuo Huan whether the twisted posture of the servo valve might have been caused before falling into the sea.
"There are precedents, Richard dive. In 1996, US Airways Flight 3157, the captain plunged into the Great Salt Lake with the plane. One of the possible reasons for the later deduction is the failure of the servo valve. Patrick, if an aircraft is Accelerated into the sea due to a mechanical failure, then I believe that the servo valve failure is definitely one of the most likely reasons." Lovins argued, "And in terms of this twisted posture, the possibility is extremely high. I suggest Sent to Airbus headquarters for inspection."
Zhuo Huan: "That's a Boeing design failure, and this plane is an Airbus. Don't waste your time, the servo valve is definitely not one of the reasons."
Lovins refused to accept, "Why?"
Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows, he rarely met someone 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 dismantled it."
Zhuo Huan and Lowens looked back together.
Lovins: "…"
He bowed down: "Okay, then I'll go and check the engine failure first."
After Lovins left, Fucheng walked up.
Zhuo Huan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and his voice was drawn out: "Why don't I know, I dismantled an Airbus A390?"
Fu Cheng was stunned: "...you haven't dismantled it?"
Zhuo Huan said casually: "The Airbus A390 is a new aircraft that made its first flight in May 2019. I resigned from Mai Fei in June. The planes I dismantled before were all bought by Mai Fei. So you say , have I dismantled it?"
Fucheng: "..."
"All the planes you dismantled were bought by Mai Fei?"
Lazily said: "Yeah."
Fucheng: "..."
Ganqing is a fake local tyrant!
Fu Cheng expressionless: "Then I'll call Lovins back."
Zhuo Huan couldn't help laughing out loud: "Well, I have dismantled the Airbus A390."
Fucheng looked at him strangely, and indicated with his eyes: You just said that Mai Fei didn't buy you another plane.
Uncle Zhuo asked back: "If Mai Fei doesn't buy it, then I can't buy it myself?"
"..."
This horse is still that evil capitalist!
