No matter how rare and precious wine is, before opening the bottle, it is the lover of dreams, as gluey as paint. After opening the bottle, there is only a brief taste, and then it is out of control.
Old Joseph was very drunk. He had already drank a lot of brandy before drinking this bottle of Louis XIII, and now he has another bottle of Louis XIII in black pearl crystal, the wine is straight to the top of his head, he is lying on the sofa by the terrace with a red face, hehe straight smile.
Su Fei also took a surreptitious taste. He was so hot that he stuck out his tongue and muttered: "I didn't see how delicious it was." But thinking about it, it was a mouthful of three thousand dollars, and he drank the wine with a glass Finish.
Lina took out her gift, and she smiled helplessly: "I bumped into you."
Fucheng took a look, and saw that Lina also bought a watch, from Audemars Piguet.
In fact, it is very easy to understand. As a woman, Lina is a bit too intimate to give a tie and the like, and a watch is just right.
Lina smiled and pushed the gift box over: "Reid, why don't you open it and have a look?"
Since the gift was to be opened, it was natural that the gift from the three of Fucheng had to be opened as well. The two watches are not similar, and the one given by Lina is more casual.
Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows: "Two yuan?"
Su Fei patted the table: "Wear it together!"
Zhuo Huan opened the gift box indifferently, and put the two watches on his wrist together.
Lina: "If you didn't change your clothes and still wore the T-shirt just now, I believe mine must be more suitable. But you changed a shirt, um..." She pondered for a moment, "I'm the loser, Baoge Gorgeous gypsophila cufflinks and a sporty mechanical watch are really out of place."
Zhuo Huan curled his lips and took off Lina's watch.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, old Joseph was so drunk that he passed out, Fu Cheng and Su Fei each took one arm of him and brought him back to the apartment. Zhuo Huan didn't go down to see them off, but made a phone call first, asking the housekeeper to find someone to clean up the mess in the open-air restaurant. He leaned against the door frame and stood at the door with his arms crossed, looking at the four of them.
Lina smiled with red lips: "There is no need to give it away, Reid, I wish you a happy birthday."
There was a soft hum in his nasal cavity, Zhuo Huan raised his head, staring quietly at Fu Cheng.
Sensing the man's gaze, Fucheng raised his head. Looking at each other in the air, Fucheng said softly: "Teacher Zhuo, happy birthday."
Zhuo Huan smiled meaningfully: "Happy."
Su Fei: "Happy birthday RIP! Let's go, let's go, why is old Joseph so heavy! You can't tell from the outside that he is so heavy, it must be at least one hundred and sixteen!"
Lina helped the three of Fucheng get things, while Fucheng and Su Fei carried old Joseph into the elevator.
After finally getting into the car, the two of them took Old Joseph home again. After changing their clothes, it was already zero o'clock when Fucheng returned home. He lay in bed, but couldn't sleep. Heart beating irritably, he got up and began to pack his things.
There are hourly workers cleaning the house, and there is nothing special for him to clean up. He sorted out some sundries, and suddenly found an invoice in the corner of the desk cabinet, and opened it.
Bulgari baby's breath cufflinks, £6,539.
His eyes stopped on the invoice for a few seconds, and he crumpled the invoice expressionlessly and threw it into the trash can. There is really nothing to do, the house is tidy and tidy, it is already three o'clock in the morning. Fucheng turned off the last light, the light suddenly disappeared, and everything fell into darkness.
However, a scene of thunderous applause appeared before his eyes.
Countless young air force pilots who had just joined the army in crisp blue military uniforms sat nervously in the audience. When that person came to the stage, they all applauded in unison. The applause instantly toppled the roof of the auditorium, like an earthquake, rumbling.
The man stopped and seemed to be taken aback. Instead of walking forward, he turned his head and glanced at the young children in the audience.
He walked to the podium.
Memories will be eroded by the passing of time, but emotions and touches are like old wine, brewed more intensely. The man's voice was not majestic, and his attitude was not solemn at all, and he was even a little foolish. Under a head of refreshing and clean short hair, there is a pair of eyes full of thousands of stars.
Fu Cheng was enthralled.
When we talk about our own field, we talk about the upcoming McFly F485, which McFly has spent nearly 20 years on. It is ambitious and intends to dominate the sky. There seemed to be light in his eyes for an instant, confident, flamboyant, beating, and bright. He sped up his speech, raised his voice, and showed a lively and happy smile.
In his eyes, everything in the world seems to be a pawn to bow down.
He will be king.
At that time, those eyes were full of stars.
Fu Cheng was silent for a moment, then returned to the bed and closed his eyes. The thunderous applause gradually dissipated in the ears, and the young and confident man also changed into another appearance. It was in the cool autumn night in Helsinki, and he was sitting on the iron railing of the country lane. There are weeds under your feet, and the starry sky above your head.
He bowed his head and smoked silently.
The dark things swept over those eyes, and the silent and depressed sand swallowed up from his feet. He smoked heavily, without saying a word, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if something grabbed his throat, making him panting dully and exhausted.
Then he heard his own voice, raised his head, and looked at himself with a half-smile.
All those depressive, negative, and pessimistic things disappeared the moment they looked up.
"You know Dutch as well as French?"
…
The irritability in my heart could no longer be stopped, and it broke down the fence, rushing like a flood. Fu Cheng got up, put on a coat and went to the balcony. He lit a cigarette, silently, and stayed up all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Old Joseph didn't come to wake Fucheng up for a run as usual because of a hangover.
At nine o'clock, Fucheng entered the gate of the UAAG headquarters on time.
Seeing him, Lina was a little surprised, then smiled and said: "Fu, you are the only one who is not late."
Fu Cheng smiled at her and said, "Who is the other one?"
It is common for Master Zhuo to be late, and it is a surprise not to be late; as for Old Joseph and Su Fei, it is estimated that the two of them have not woken up until now.
Lina was disappointed: "Could it be that I am not a member of UAAG in your eyes?"
Fu Cheng was taken aback, and apologized earnestly: "I'm sorry, Lina."
Lina blinked: "I'm just kidding you."
It was three poles in the sun and eleven o'clock in the noon, when Old Joseph and Su Fei arrived late.
After being drunk all night, Old Joseph's complexion was not good-looking, but he was full of vitality. As soon as he entered the door, he began to accuse: "My lateness, I think it should be excusable. Fu, Lina, I was so drunk last night, it's normal that I can't wake up. But this person, Su Fei, I really I misread him! I never expected that he sent me a message. Seeing that I didn't wake up, he continued to sleep very happily, and didn't even think about waking me up!"
Su Fei was also very unconvinced: "Aren't I concerned about your body? Get more sleep to avoid headaches after getting drunk, right, Brother Fu."
Fucheng reminded them: "Teacher Zhuo hasn't come yet."
Old Joseph was stunned, and then sat down on the sofa: "I should have said it earlier! Reid is not here, so I have no excuse."
Everyone laughed together.
After noon passed, there was no sign of Zhuo Huan.
Until two o'clock in the afternoon, the elevator door beeped, and the man in the French shirt walked into the UAAG gate while looking down at his mobile phone. When he came to Lina's desk, he stopped and said, "McFei has a design problem I want to consult. I didn't answer Daniel's call, so don't worry about it."
Lina: "OK."
After explaining the matter, Zhuo Huan walked to his desk, pulled up a chair and sat down.
Su Fei watched him go all the way, and said in surprise: "Aren't you going straight to the sofa to sleep this time?"
His voice was moderate, reaching Zhuo Huan's ears, making him sneer: "You only think about sleep?"
Su Fei: "..."
"You are the one who sleeps when you come to UAAG every day!"
"Oh, but I'm also the one who pays you."
"..."
Is this what people say about riding a horse
"Take off the watch I gave you yesterday and return it to me!"
Zhuo Huan purposely gave a loud "ah" in a flirtatious voice: "You sent me? It was you, old Joseph and... Fucheng who sent me off together."
Today Zhuo Huan was wearing the white shirt he changed last night, and he naturally put on the Patek Philippe gifted by the three of Fucheng. The silver-white white chalcedony dial matches the diamond-studded starry cufflinks on the cuffs, which is elegant and luxurious.
Su Fei looked at Old Joseph and Fu Cheng: "I propose to take back this watch, and we three will return it today, do you agree?"
"Ah."
Su Fei turned to look at the man.
Zhuo Huan rested his chin on one hand, and looked in the direction of Old Joseph and Fu Cheng. He seemed to be looking at the two of them, but he stared straight at Fucheng, and said softly, "Then ask him and see if he... do you agree. Is it important for me or you."
Old Joseph remembered the wine room that Lina had mentioned last night, and swallowed. He said righteously: "Of course Reid is more important. It's alright, Su Fei, don't make trouble, children don't play tantrums."
Su Fei stared straight at Fu Cheng, "Brother Fu, you must stand by my side!"
Zhuohuan stared at Fucheng with dark eyes, licked his lips, but there was no emotion in his pupils, he just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
Fu Cheng: "There is no reason to take back a gift given to someone else."
Su Fei suddenly felt abandoned.
Zhuo Huan looked at Fu Cheng, smiled lightly and said, "So, it seems that I am more important."
Fucheng looked up at him.
"… Um."
Uncle Zhuo smiled happily.
With Lina around, no matter how tough a tough guy is, he will live a finer life.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, it is afternoon tea time. She ordered an afternoon tea set for a whole year at a nearby five-star hotel, which was personally made by a Michelin-starred chef. Food trucks deliver to UAAG headquarters.
Everyone sat on the terrace, enjoying the scenery of the Huangpu River while drinking tea and pastries.
Not long after Fu Cheng sat down, Zhuo Huan sat down. He clung to Fucheng and sat beside him.
After Lina poured black tea for everyone, she talked about the gossip she heard today about a top audit firm upstairs. Everyone listened with great interest, interjecting a few sentences from time to time. Fucheng didn't make a sound. He was drinking mellow black tea with a calm expression on his face.
But no one knew that under the dining table, the man's feet lightly touched the crook of his leg.
Lina: "It seems to be caught in the meeting room."
Su Fei: "Damn it, what do you mean caught on the spot?"
Old Joseph: "What are underage people doing listening to this kind of stuff? They didn't even understand at the time. Those two managers were having sex in the meeting room of the audit office. Do you understand?" Old Joseph smiled, "Such big news should be available in the auditorium. I found it on the Internet." After speaking, he immediately took out his mobile phone, searched for a while, and whistled: "Not only was the photo taken, but it was also Woman on top. Well, both of them have families and children. "
Gossip is always so interesting, especially colored gossip.
Su Fei: "Have children, have a family? Then why do such things."
Old Joseph smiled mysteriously: "What do you know about cheating? The more you steal, the more charming you are. Ahem, of course, we have to condemn this kind of immoral behavior, Lina, don't look at me like that, you know I'm a Good man."
Lina gracefully put down Hermes' teacup: "I just don't understand, I've already done this kind of thing, why must I be in the company, but also in a conference room where people come and go?"
Zhuo Huan: "Because of stimulation."
Lina looked up at him, as if she didn't expect him to speak.
After a while, Lina stood up: "I'll go in first, you continue."
Su Fei and Old Joseph were still eagerly discussing the gossip about the audit office upstairs. Zhuo Huan took a cookie and was about to deliver it to his mouth when he suddenly stopped. The ankle was gently hooked. After touching it ambiguously a few times, he took it back. However, just when he thought he would never come again, he lightly rubbed his ankle like a friend.
After a few seconds, Zhuo Huan turned his head to look at Fu Cheng.
In the warm spring afternoon breeze, the young man with delicate features bowed his head and drank his tea with no expression on his face. Sensing the man's gaze, he turned to look at him. Looking at each other, Fu Cheng slowly opened his lips and silently drew three characters.
Zhuo Huan laughed. He leaned close to Fu Cheng's ear, rubbing the tip of his ear in a low voice: "You know... gold, proportion."
After saying this, he got up and went to the office.
Fucheng looked up at him.
Su Fei: "Hey RIP, are you leaving too?"
Zhuo Huan didn't look back, he stretched out his right hand and gestured three numbers in the air.
Su Fei: "618? Why, why did RIP say the password of his door again? Why, doesn't this mean the golden ratio, it's his ex-girlfriend's birthday?"
Before Su Fei could figure it out, even before Zhuo Huan reached the glass door of the balcony, Lina came back again.
Zhuo Huan stopped and looked at her.
Lina: "I'm sorry to inform everyone that the leisure time is always so short, I think, we have to travel again."
Su Fei asked in astonishment, "An air crash happened?"
Fucheng: "From Lina's tone, it doesn't sound like it. There were no casualties in this air crash?"
If an air crash happened suddenly, Lina would definitely speak out in a more serious tone.
Lina blew a kiss to Fucheng: "I like talking to Fu the most. He always understands girls' feelings very well. But this accident was not without casualties. There were 38 victims and 121 survivors. But It's passed. Yes, it's not a recent accident, it's an accident that happened 23 years ago."
"In 1998, Emirates Airline EK411 accident."
***
Shencheng Airport, VIP Lounge.
"On July 11, 1998, a Boeing 777 numbered EK411 took off at Dubai International Airport. However, just five minutes after taking off, it crashed into a desert near the Persian Gulf."
While flipping through the documents, Old Joseph said: "The UAE Aviation Authority and NTBS jointly investigated this case. Oh? At the end of 1999, the investigation report was published. Let me see... The main cause of the accident was that the engine Malfunction." He looked up at Lina: "Isn't the result already found out?"
Lina: "There are new clues from the Emirates Aviation Authority."
Zhuohuan raised his eyebrows: "What clue?"
An air accident that has already published an investigation report, unless it is like the previous American Airlines 4012, the black box fell into the water and was not retrieved, but the investigator did not really give up, but issued a reward. So after more than 20 years, its black box was suddenly found, which of course counts as new evidence.
Fu Cheng frowned: "The black box of EK411 has been found. The luckiest thing about this air crash is that it crashed two kilometers away from the Persian Gulf. Otherwise, if it fell into the sea, the death toll will definitely be more, and the rescue will also fail." Even more difficult. Although there was an explosion after the crash, almost all the wreckage of the plane was found."
In this case, can there be new evidence
And besides that, after 23 years, people from the UAE Aviation Authority still have doubts about this air crash, so they persevere in the investigation, so they can find new evidence
Lina shook her head: "It's not physical evidence, it's personal evidence."
Everyone was taken aback.
Lina: "Twenty-three years ago, a survivor on EK411 came to the UAE Aviation Authority three days ago... and told what she saw before the plane crashed."
The boarding prompt sounded at the right time in the VIP room at the airport, and Zhuo Huan stood up: "Let's board the plane first."
After boarding the plane, even though everyone in UAAG had sat in the top-level McFly private jet and the first-class cabin of countless airlines, they also looked sideways at the first-class cabin of Emirates.
Zhuo Huan walked in the front alone, with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression. And the few people behind him couldn't calm down.
Su Fei: "Except for Lina's father's private jet, I've never seen anything more awesome than this. American Airlines' first-class cabin is far worse than it!"
Lina smiled: "Welcome to the world's most luxurious airline, the first class cabin of Emirates."
Hearing this, the airline stewardess who was guiding them showed a charming and confident smile.
Independent private space, a bed that is 1.2 meters wide, and a starry sky ceiling specially made for first-class passengers in cooperation with Rolls-Royce: when the first-class passengers are resting, the beautiful stewardess will come over to help you make it Good sheets, then turn off the lights for you. At this time, you can enjoy the unique star roof of Rolls-Royce on the plane.
Old Joseph suddenly thought: "Emirates, this time is going to Dubai... Fuck! Burj Al Arab?"
Lina nodded: "Yes."
Su Fei and old Joseph burst into tears instantly.
Coming to UAAG is really the most correct decision they have ever made in their lives.
***
After getting off the plane, a Rolls-Royce took the five of them to the Burj Al Arab to store their luggage.
In the evening, investigators from the Emirates Aviation Authority arrived at the hotel specifically to pick up the five people.
Whether it was Japan Airlines 917 before or American Airlines 4012 later, when members of UAAG were invited to help in the investigation of aircraft accidents, the other party would set up an investigation headquarters by itself. Everyone analyzed the wreckage of the plane in the investigation headquarters and investigated the truth.
Even the Martha Airlines 123 cargo plane crash has a dedicated investigation headquarters, although its predecessor was a candy factory.
However, this time, the Emirates Aviation Authority did not seem to build a new investigation headquarters for the Emirates 411 crash. They came all the way to the headquarters of the Emirates Aviation Authority.
As soon as the car arrived, when the door opened, a middle-aged man in a white robe and a white hat with black braids came over. He stretched out his hand with a smile, and said to Zhuo Huan: "Mr. Patrick, hello, welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhuohuan stretched out his hand, and said in a calm voice, "Hello."
"My name is Mehmed Taste, you can call me Meh."
His English is fluent and everyone can communicate smoothly. Then, they followed behind Mr. Meh into the office building of the Emirates Aviation Authority.
Lina asked: "Is there no investigation headquarters?"
Maiha showed a embarrassed look: "You know, this is an air crash 23 years ago. Naturally, an investigation team was established back then, but after so many years, since the publication of the investigation report, the specially established investigation headquarters has been disbanded .Of course, we are building new ones now. It should be ready to rebuild in two days."
Su Fei whispered in Chinese: "Rebuild? Is it necessary? Just find an empty office area. I think this building is very big."
Old Joseph said in a long tone: "Do you understand the way rich people solve problems?"
After coming to the conference room, someone brought high-grade black tea and snacks soon.
Maiha laughed and said a few more words, and finally got to the point. He looked serious and sighed: "To be honest, none of us thought that after twenty-three years, a new witness would suddenly come out. I'll take you to see her tomorrow."
Zhuo Huan: "Why didn't she come out to testify twenty-three years ago?"
Along the way, everyone has been suspicious about this matter.
Lina only knows that a new witness suddenly appeared, and this witness is still a survivor on the plane. But I don't know why she waited for twenty-three years before she suddenly stood up.
Fucheng thought for a while: "Is it because after the air crash, the survivor was injured and fell into a coma? For example... Became a vegetative state, and now he miraculously wakes up?"
This is what they guessed on the plane, the most likely reason.
Lina smiled and said, "Although I don't know the reason for the secrecy, but Mr. Meha, we are already here, no matter what the reason is, you should speak up."
Maiha looked at them and let out a long sigh.
"The witness was not unconscious, nor did she become a vegetative state. After the accident, she was not one of the 49 seriously injured, and she was discharged from the hospital three months later. She didn't come forward until now and speak out about herself. The reason for knowing the truth is..."
"She's a stowaway."
"Twenty-three years ago, she boarded a plane with forged documents. She was worried that if she testified, investigators would look into her background. So..."
"She chose silence."
The author has something to say:
Fu Chengcheng: Lina doesn't give away ties or anything because she's too intimate. Sending a watch is just right.
Lina: So you also know that giving a tie (cufflinks) is too intimate
Fu Chengcheng: …
