Chapter 196
The crew members were communicating nervously and seriously with the man in sunglasses.

From the corner of the eye, Gu Ji was approaching quickly. The bald policeman's eyes turned cold, and he stepped decisively to block the captain and others behind him, while quickly touching his waist with his right hand.

"Hey! Didn't I ask you to go back to your seat! Don't go any further, or I will take compulsory measures against you!"

Hearing the warning, the passengers focused their attention again.

Including the man in sunglasses, he also looked back at Gu Ji.

He looked to be in his thirties, with dark brown skin, curly jelly hair, a thin mustache, a round face, a black shirt with a wide neckline, and strong cologne sprayed on his body, giving him the feeling of a hooligan.

But Gu Ji noticed that the other party's left hand hanging down on his thigh seemed to be holding something, which he hadn't noticed in the last round.

He stood still, continued to smile and spread his hands, indicating that he did not pose any threat.

"Hehe, I'm just curious, Mr. Captain, how is today's flight, is there anything unusual?"

From this moment on, Betty's attitude changed.

His eyes looked back and forth suspiciously at Gu Ji, and finally he whispered something next to the captain's ear, explaining that he was the passenger who submitted the flight log.

The captain pursed his lips and responded in a calm tone:

"Please rest assured that the weather today is fine and the voyage is smooth."

"I mean, is there anything unusual about the behavior of the passengers in the cabin?"

As soon as Gu Ji said this, the faces of all the crew members changed, and even the man in the sunglasses was slightly taken aback.

really.

This time I got it right!
The crew is being held hostage by the man in sunglasses. The two parties were negotiating just now. Judging from the performance last week, the crew apparently agreed to some kind of request from the man in sunglasses, and then suddenly turned a sharp turn midway and changed the flight route.

This is also understandable.

Airplanes are different from passenger cars, trains and other means of transportation. Some are similar to sea cruise ships. They are fully enclosed places, isolated and helpless, and it is difficult to obtain external support. There are too many passengers on board. As the general manager of the flight, the captain needs to consider many factors.

For example, is the man in sunglasses hijacking the plane by himself, whether there are any accomplices, whether the weapon in his hand is real or a bluff, what is the mental state of the other party, whether it will lead to a major tragedy, whether the crew members have enough courage and ability to fight against After the hijacking incident, bring the hijacker to justice. Can he save every passenger in the hijacking case?
There are many such questions.

Judging from the summary of historical hijacking incidents, a reckless anti-hijacking operation may lead to suicide attacks by terrorists under pressure, detonating explosives or biological and chemical weapons.

The captain's agreement to the terrorist's request was not a compromise, but the best choice based on the pros and cons of all parties.

The flight attendants and the air police chose to keep quiet, probably to take care of the emotions of the passengers, revealing to everyone that the plane was hijacked would not only make everyone panic, but also might anger terrorists, with unpredictable consequences.

Instead, it is better to detain the terrorists first, contact the airline and the police in time, and let professionals take care of it.

In the civil aviation hijacking incident in the summer of 1989, the crew followed this plan, pretending to allow the terrorists to change the route, and finally cooperated with the Japanese police to successfully stop the hijacker's plot.

Before the captain could speak, the air police said with a grim expression: "I said before, you are the one who behaves the most abnormally here. Go back to your seat immediately. This is the last warning!"

After the words fell, he pulled the holster of the gun and squeezed his hand on the handle.

Unexpectedly, the freckled woman came over at this moment and shouted: "Are the police amazing? Uncle is obviously helping me to do what is right, why do you restrict his freedom!"

Seeing the escalation of the situation, the passengers stretched their necks curiously. Some even unfastened their seat belts and stood up, taking out their mobile phones to record the incident, wanting to see how he would end up.

But Gu Ji himself wasn't nervous at all, he just raised his hand in a calm manner, and pointed at the left hand of the man in sunglasses:
"May I ask what is in his hand, is it a detonator?"

"Detonator?"

"Oh my God, what happened..."

"It's not a terrorist, is it?"

None of the crew members expected that Gu Ji would say such words so bluntly and boldly, it was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves to be stirred up by one stone, instantly disturbing the passengers. Unrest.

"What are you talking about!"

"Sir, it is against the law to spread panic speech on an airplane."

The bald policeman and the captain hastily scolded, fearing that Gu Ji's remarks would anger the man in sunglasses, they pressed the things in their hands ahead of time.

That's right.

Gu Ji came directly with a "clear card", and now the accident broke out in less than 7 minutes, he must do everything possible to break the deadlock of the previous round, actively intervene in the accident process, even if the terrorists cannot be solved, At least he couldn't let him interfere with the crew's emergency landing.

And he didn't worry that this would stimulate the gangsters to commit extreme acts of killing each other.

Because before rushing to the cabin on the last round, he heard the man in sunglasses muttering "how could this be?", which showed that he was also afraid of crashing the plane, so this was not a suicide terrorist attack.

The man in sunglasses came with a purpose!

Even if he planned for the worst, he still couldn't complete the target task this round, so he had to do his best to collect intelligence.

The bloody countdown doesn't leave much time for him!

"Captain, I need you to come to the cockpit."

At this time, a young male voice suddenly sounded in the cabin, and it should be the co-pilot of this flight.

The captain shifted his gaze from Gu Ji to the man in the sunglasses, took a deep look, patted the shoulder of the flight attendant Betty, and finally turned back to the cabin.

"Mr. Yasen, please return to your seat immediately!"

"Everyone go back to their seats! It's not safe..."

Betty led the blond-haired stewardess over and stretched out her hand, trying to make Gu Ji wait for the passengers to return to their seats, but at this moment the curly-haired Middle East jumped out to make trouble again, asking nervously: "What happened? He just said the detonator What the hell is that person holding in his hand! Is it a terrorist attack!"

"Sir, please calm down! Get back to your seat!"

"I'm not going back! I'm going to get off the plane! Get me off the plane right now! God, this flight is going to blow up!"

"what!"

The curly hair in the Middle East pushed away the blocking blond stewardess, and then rushed towards the cabin desperately.

Seeing this, the bald air policeman immediately drew his pistol:
"Stop! Stop now!"

"Ah! The police are going to shoot! We're all going to die here!"

The Middle Eastern Curly stood there in horror, covering his head with his hands and shouting loudly.

It wasn't until this time that Gu Ji understood why he was so nervous. He should be suffering from a disease such as "place phobia". Whenever he was flying, he would feel rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, headache, anxiety and irritability, and sweating. , nausea, weakness, changes in blood pressure, etc.

This may be related to acrophobia, or witnessing an air crash, so I feel extremely afraid of airplanes.

"God! What the hell happened..."

"I'm starting to get a little scared!"

"Excuse me, the purser! Is that man really a terrorist?"

"Yeah, everyone is very concerned about safety issues!"

……

The extreme behavior of Middle East Curly seemed to ignite the fuse, which instantly aroused the panic in the hearts of the passengers, and forced the crew to tell the truth every sentence.

Betty looked puzzled, looking at Gu Ji in front of her, there seemed to be complaints in her eyes, as if she was blaming him for why he took the initiative to provoke trouble just now.

Before she could speak, the man in sunglasses, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his left hand, measured out a cylinder the size of a lipstick, like a spray cylinder, and said sharply:

"I'll say it one last time, and immediately turn to Matt Saran, or I will activate the VX poison in my hand!"

"Poison?"

"Ah! Everyone run!! He has a virus in his hand!"

"what--!"

The moment they heard the "poison", the passengers immediately burst into panic and screams, like a lion rushing into a herd of sheep. Everyone frantically squeezed and fled to the rear of the cabin. Those young college students simply stepped on the seats and rolled backwards. , while running away, calling the freckled girl's name "Chloe", one of the aunts with handicapped legs accidentally fell to the ground, and then was stepped on by the people behind, screaming terribly.

"Everyone, don't run around! It's very dangerous!"

"Get back to your seat now!"

Betty and the blonde stewardess shouted desperately, trying to stop the stampede from happening, but in front of the "poison", no one would listen to them.

Gu Ji had actually expected this scene a long time ago.

He also knew that someone would be injured, but he had no choice but to do so.

Compared to the crash of a passenger plane, where everyone was burnt to charcoal, a little bit of skin and flesh is nothing at all.

It's just that he didn't expect that what the man in the sunglasses held in his hand turned out to be the famous VX poison.

VX agent is a kind of neurotoxin. It has been listed as standard equipment by the army since its birth, and later received the attention and research of many countries. It belongs to the third-generation chemical warfare agent and is a more toxic agent than sarin. The nerve agent ranks first among the top ten deadly poisonous gases.

It itself is an oily liquid, but it will instantly turn into gas when it comes into contact with the air. The key lies in its strong nature, as long as 10 mg can cause death. The nervous system is damaged, breathing stops, and life is lost.

No wonder the chief engineer agreed to change the course so simply that even the air police dared not stop it.

The device in the man's hands should be similar to tear gas. As long as the button is pressed, the oily liquid inside will immediately turn into a gas spray and quickly spread into the air.

Since VX is a typical persistent poison, the killing effect lasts from several hours to several days and nights.

However, civil aviation airliners are positively pressurized closed spaces, and the poisonous gas is difficult to dissipate for a while, so as long as the VX poison is scattered inside the aircraft, it will always be harmful, and no one will survive!

"Put the thing down! Once you activate it, you won't live!"

When the bald policeman saw that the man in sunglasses had revealed himself, he immediately turned his gun and pointed it at the terrorist's head, regardless of the other passengers in the cabin.

The man in sunglasses took off his glasses, revealing a pair of sharp and cruel eyes, and grinned, "If you have the guts, shoot and see if your gun is faster or my hands are faster! Turn around now!!"

Ding Dong!

The seat belt warning light above the cabin suddenly turned on, but because Gu Ji changed the development of the incident, this time the announcement was made by the captain of the cockpit, "I am the captain of this flight, everyone, don't be afraid, go back to your seat Come on, fasten your seat belts, we are about to change our course and head to Mexico's Matt Saran, please believe me and the crew members, we will do our best to send you home safely!"

The captain's righteous tone brought some passengers back to reality from panic.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that the man in the sunglasses just asked the flight to divert, as long as he followed his goal, maybe everyone would be fine.

What's more, when we get to the ground, there will be police and troops, so it's safer than it is now.

So some people began to return to their seats, but they were all in the rear area of ​​the cabin. After this kind of thing happened, no one dared to return to the place next to the man in sunglasses.

But there are also some people who find that things are not quite right.

Mexican Matt Saran...

"Isn't Matt Saran a city in Sinaloa?"

I don't know who shouted.

The next moment, everyone fell into panic again.

But anyone in the border areas of the United States or in Central America knows what "Sinaloa" means. It is the lair of the most powerful drug trafficking group in Mexico! !
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.

If you want to say which country has the most rampant drug dealers on the planet, if the Mexican drug dealers dare to admit the second, I am afraid that no one dares to recognize the first. For more than half a century, Mexican drug dealers have gradually controlled half of the country. The tentacles of the drug dealers have stretched to every corner, and the law and order are almost useless to the drug cartel, even the police and the army are also helpless.

Among them, the "Sinaloa drug cartel" is only "the largest" in Mexico and even in the whole of America, and there is no "one of them".

The leader, Shorty Gumans, is second to none among the global drug lords.

In order to catch him, the Mexican authorities dispatched elite troops to carry out three secret arrest operations successively, which cost a lot of energy and human life, but he escaped from prison. Extradite him to the United States.

The last time the Sinaloa Group caused a sensation internationally was in January 23 when it attacked Mexican military aircraft and civil aviation airliners.

A large number of armed men from drug cartels poured into Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa, Mexico. They robbed and set fire to the Mexican armed forces and had a fierce gun battle. Police and troops in other places were also attacked, and drug traffickers surrounded them with heavy weapons They rushed to the police station and even rushed to the airport, attacking a civil airliner that was about to take off.

This scale of counterattack is very rare even during the entire Mexican anti-drug war.

The purpose of the Sinaloa Group's trip was to force the Mexican authorities to release Gumanz's son Odilawi, but it ended in failure.

It seems that the purpose of the man in sunglasses to use VX nerve agent to divert the flight to Matt Saran should be the same.

As long as the flight landed at the home of the Sinaloa drug cartel, the drug dealers could control the passengers and use this as leverage to force the Mexican authorities to negotiate and release Odilawi.

The attack on a civil aviation airliner is a blatant provocation to the national government.

Also did it twice.

How courageous!

No wonder since Deng Benla was killed in 2011, Gumans was able to "promote" to the first place in the "Forbes" list of the world's top ten villains. This Sinaloa Group is indeed full of ruthless people!
The flight from Los Angeles to Panama City is from northwest to southeast.

Sinaloa is on the west side of the route. The man in sunglasses must have waited for the flight to fly out of the United States. After entering Mexico, he handed over the US dollar bill to the stewardess. It wrote the words and purpose of the terrorist attack on it, so the captain Zhou Mu was halfway. Take a sharp turn to the right, west of the Northern Hemisphere direction.

It's a pity that an extreme flight accident of "double engine failure" was encountered halfway.

However, four-fifths of Mexico's territory belongs to the Mexican plateau. It is difficult to land at high altitudes, let alone an emergency landing, and the probability of crash is very high.

In Gu Ji's impression, there were two successful forced landings in history when both engines failed.

One was the forced landing of Ural Airlines flight U2019 in the cornfield in 6178, and the other was the forced landing of US Airways flight 2009 on the Hudson River in 1549, which is the prototype of the famous "Captain Sully" movie.

"Emergency landing in the plateau area, another dead end..."

Gu Ji gritted his teeth, wondering how to break the situation.

The captain had already started the right aileron to turn, and the flight attendant put all the passengers in their seats, turned around and came back to dissuade him from returning to his seat.

Gu Ji turned his head.

Good guy, the back half of the cabin is full, not a single person left.

In the entire front area of ​​the cabin, apart from the bald policeman, Betty, the flight attendant, and the man in sunglasses, Gu Ji was the only one left.

"Uncle! Come here!"

The freckled girl Chloe waved her arms, but she did not forget this uncle who was willing to help.

But Gu Ji ignored her.

Under the horrified eyes of all the passengers, he sat down at the front of the economy class.

That is, diagonally opposite to the man's seat in sunglasses!
