L.A.W.

53. The final destination

Holiday Inn Histon, wedding reception.

Wearing a neat suit lined with a small vest, the glossy big back replaced the previous chicken nest head, Zhang Yi, who wore leather shoes that kicked the rabbit to death, and Little C, a gorgeous tube top dress and lace veil, stood at the door of the hall to welcome guests.

Yu Zheng, whose suit was obviously one size too small, had to stand with his chest up and his belly in, for fear of accidentally bursting his clothes, "Yixiu, I thought you would find Xiao Qiao, but I didn't expect you to find me as your best man. It's my buddy."

"Actually... that... don't be moved." Zhang Yi approached Yu Zheng and whispered, "You hadn't been transferred at that time. , No one in the whole system dares to invite him again."

"Ah!" Yu Zheng's mouth was opened wide, with an incredulous expression on his face, "Why?"

"He was so beautiful that he became the focus of the audience." Liu Hua, one of the brothers, came over, "The bride and groom were tragically killed by cannon fodder."

"Well, that's how it is." Zhang Yi touched his chin, "So I got married and swore to find someone inferior to me in the bureau. You know how difficult it is."

"It turned out to be like this." Yu Zheng was stunned, and glared at Zhang Yi, "You think I'm ugly, so you let me be the best man."

"You are very self-aware." Zhang Yi put his shoulders on him, "Don't be angry, I am Wang Bo, you are Wang Baoqiang, we are each other."

"My chief can hold a boat in his stomach." Yu Zheng said arrogantly, "Today is your big day again, so I don't care about you."

According to the customs of G City, the groom, best man and brothers should toast each table one by one.

He came to the table of his colleagues in the police station in a mighty manner, "Full up! Full up!" Qiao Lier refills Zhang Yi's wine, "You are not allowed to drink for Zhang Yi, and you are not allowed to fake it. Ours must be finished."

"You are respectful, how dare I not drink it." Zhang Yi, who blushed like Guan Gong, drank it proudly, and then turned the cup over.

"While everyone is here." Yu Zheng clapped his hands, "Let me say something by the way."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Zhengzheng, you don't seem to be the protagonist today."

"Hey! Let's take a chance to say a few words." Yu Zheng cleared his throat, "The first thing is, our bureau got a forensic doctor to study at UCLA for one year." (PS: University of California, Los Angeles) , Los Angeles (UCLA for short) is a public research university located in Westwood, Los Angeles, California, USA, and is one of the top comprehensive universities in the United States.)

"Yixiu, Zhengzheng gave you a wedding gift." Qiao Lier chewed on the fried suckling pig skin.

"Fuck, you have the heart to let me and Little C live apart after we're newly married?" Zhang Yi put his arm on Qiao Lier's shoulder, "Of course I sent you there."

"That's it, Xiao Qiao." Yu Zheng snapped his fingers, "The second thing..."

"Zhengzheng, why are you talking so much nonsense, it's endless." Li Shi interrupted him, and said with a smirk: "Xiao Qiao, remember to ask Team Zhao to take you around the east and west coasts of the United States."

"Stone, don't interrupt my speech, it's related to you." Yu Zheng held up three fingers, "Not much, just three things. The second thing is that our Guo team will be transferred to C city in the north because of his wife. , so he also applied for a transfer, and he will go to the Northeast with his wife next month."

"Then who is in charge?" Zhen Liang looked left and right.

"Congratulations to our Captain Li." Yu Zheng took the lead in applauding, "The documents have come down, and Li Shi will be the captain."

The crowd also applauded.

"Thank you!" Li Shi pretended to wipe away his tears, "I watched the moonlight until the clouds opened, and I finally became the captain."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Stone, do you want to give an Oscar acceptance speech?"

"Thanks to the country, the party, parents, and Zheng Zheng..." Li Shi said affectionately, "But I have more important things to do."

"What's the matter?" Everyone was curious.

Li Shi said with firm eyes and clenched his fists: "I want to catch up with the wooden team at the scene in the hall."

"Team Zhao has been abroad for so long, why haven't you chased him?" Guo Mingxiang rubbed his chin, "Why are you suddenly going to chase him now?"

"She used to be higher than me. Women are strong and men are weak. You say I have the nerve to chase after her." Li Shi raised his head proudly, "Now we are finally on equal footing, men and women are equal."

"Ahem~" Yu Zheng patted the excited Li Shi, "Shitou, the third thing is good for me, but not for you."

"Ah?" Li Shi's eyes widened.

"Everyone, I have already applied for resignation, and my superiors have approved it." Yu Zheng said happily, "I opened a private restaurant, and welcome everyone to taste it in the future."

"Zhengzheng finally got what he wanted." Liu Hua asked, "Your father agreed."

"Yeah, after years of hard work, the old man finally let go." Yu Zheng rubbed his chest, "My little heart, I finally don't have to be this useless bureau chief and be bullied by you all day long!"

"Is it bad news for me that you are not the chief?" Li Shi was a little confused, "Could it be that the newly appointed bureau is stricter than the previous judge."

"Then it's not the Hell Detective." Zhen Liang was shocked, "It's the Hell Bureau Chief."

"Who is the new director?" Liu Hua urged, "Don't let Zhengzheng pass you by."

"Mu Ying, the boss of the Economic Investigation Division." Yu Zheng squinted at Li Shi, and finally couldn't help but gloated, "Haha~wahaha~"

The crowd roared with laughter.

Li Shi's face stretched out...long..., longer than that of the actor Yu Zhen.

"Shitou, it seems that you will have to struggle for a few more years." Qiao Lier laughed so hard that his shoulders twitched.

"No!" Zhang Yi shook his finger, "I'm afraid that by the time Shi Shi reaches the position of director general, Director Mu will have already been promoted to Director Mu."

"How great is this love." Liu Hua made a statement of affection, "In career, you chase after me, and it will never end until you retire."

Li Shi, who didn't say a word, had to drink alone.

"The groom has thrown a bouquet!"

All the policewomen rushed forward, and the flower ball landed on Xiao Cang of the anti-narcotics team impartially.

"Da Zhuang, it seems that your good news is coming soon!", "Captain Ren, hurry up and propose!", "It's better to hit the sun than choose a date, let's do it today!"...

The crowd booed, slapped and laughed, and the colored paper gifts were sprinkled all over the floor, brimming with a festive atmosphere.

Blue Airlines' Boeing 777 took off from the international airport in City G and arrived in Los Angeles, USA about 15 hours later.

Qiao Lier was sitting near the porthole, next to an elderly couple in their 70s.

When the plane entered the Bering Strait, there was a sudden bump, and the old lady asked, "Did you encounter a turbulence?"

The old man took off his presbyopic glasses, "Don't worry, it's normal to encounter air currents."

As soon as the words fell, the plane turbulent again.

The bilingual broadcast repeatedly reminded: "Passengers, please fasten your seat belts when the plane encounters strong airflow." The stewardess walked out of the service room with a solemn expression and checked whether everyone's seat belts were fastened.

There was an air of uneasiness in the cabin.

Qiao Lier had just fastened the metal buckle of the seat belt, the lights in the cabin blew twice and went dark, and then the plane rolled 360 degrees like a roller coaster.

There were screams and cries, and the oxygen mask automatically fell down and swayed in front of him. After the impact, many doors of the luggage rack on the top were knocked open, and the luggage backpack "crashed!" Scattered all over the place, many of them hit the passengers sitting below.

"Stewardess, someone is injured!"

The plane stabilized a bit, and the stewardess brought out the first-aid kit and rushed over to bandage the passenger whose head was smashed by the luggage.

After this 360-degree flip, everyone knew that it was not a problem of airflow. The airflow would not make this giant Boeing 777 do a 360-degree flip. It must be the aircraft itself that failed.

Qiao Lier looked at the clouds outside the porthole in desperation, this time was really unlucky, he managed to travel abroad at public expense, but he didn't expect to encounter a plane failure.

The broadcast sounded again, "Passengers, our plane will make an emergency landing on the Aleutian Islands in one and a half hours." Between the Pacific Ocean, extending westward from the Alaska Peninsula to the Kamchatka Peninsula.)

In the cabin, some people clap their hands, some sigh, some sob, some pray, some chant sutras...

The stewardess' coat was stained with blood, and she was still handing out papers and pens to the passengers one by one. Under the flickering lights, there was a gloomy mist. Needless to say, everyone guessed what the paper and pens were used for.

What does forced landing mean?Narrow escape?Will the goddess of luck favor them and let them escape?

Qiao Lier took the pen and paper with trembling hands, resisting the palpitation caused by the plane rolling just now, the tip of the pen rested on the white paper, as if there were thousands of words in his mind but he couldn't write.

Write down the passbook password?It seems that there is no need, the family members can withdraw the money by presenting the death certificate.

Write down parents, brother, I can't bear you, will they be more sad after reading it?

......

Distraught, he caught a glimpse of the old couple next door folding the blank paper with no words written on it and putting it in the bag of books and magazines in front of them.

Qiao Lier asked curiously, "You don't write anything?"

The old lady didn't answer, she just smiled and looked back at the old man beside her.

The grandfather patted the back of the old lady's hand, "My wife, have we been together for 50 years?"

"Yeah, I think back then you came to my noodle shop to eat noodles every day in order to see me more." The old lady's eyes drifted into the distance, recalling the long-ago events.

The two elderly people next to each other folded their wrinkled and dry hands, and closed their eyes calmly.

A young couple not far away cuddled each other, and the young mother held the child tightly in her arms.

Qiao Lier looked at the ever-changing clouds outside the porthole, "Jiffy...can we meet again?"

The short flight of nearly one hour seemed to have passed half a century. During the period, the plane bumped several times. The huge centrifugal force made Qiao Lier feel as if his heart was about to be choked out, and the groans of the wounded could be heard from time to time. and women's sobs.

"There is a fighter plane." A passenger pointed to the porthole on the left wing.

"There are also over there. They belong to the US military."

Qiao Lier sat at the porthole on the right wing, and when he looked out, he saw a silver-gray single-seat fighter.

I don't know who suddenly said, "How could there be a fighter? Could it be to bombard us?"

The cabin immediately became agitated.

"Ah? What should I do then?"

"I don't want to be bombed."

"This is a passenger plane, how could it bomb us."

"It is not the first time that the U.S. military has accidentally bombed a passenger plane."

"We have entered the U.S. military's aviation identification zone." (PS: Air defense identification zone refers to the airspace demarcated by a country based on air defense and needs. The purpose is to provide conditions for the military to detect, identify and implement air force interception operations early .)

"It's an F22 fighter." Someone recognized the model of the fighter.

The stewardess quickly explained: "Don't worry, they are just piloting."

Two F22s, one left and one right, accompanied the passenger plane and flew away in a Y-shaped route for about 15 minutes. Anticipating that it was about to land, my heart was suspended again. Troposphere.

"Crack!" In the middle of the night in the North Pacific Ocean, there were lightning, thunder, and violent storms. This was not a suitable weather for an emergency landing.

Passengers put on orange-red vest-type life jackets, and the passenger plane swayed in the wind and rain like a boat in the ocean, with the vast Pacific Ocean under their legs.

The descending altitude of the plane on the frontmost screen: "2000 meters...1500 meters...1000 meters..."

Through the porthole, the small island below could faintly see lights. You must know that the Aleutian Islands are the base of the US military. The runway is only enough for fighter planes to take off and land, and the length and lights are not enough to land large passenger planes such as Boeing 777.

The Apache helicopter responsible for transporting the seriously injured is already waiting at the airport, and ambulances and fire engines are also parked nearby.

The height of the plane descending on the screen: "300 meters...200 meters...100 meters..."

Everyone bent down, buried their heads in their knees and huddled together. No one knew whether the landing gear of the landing plane would open normally, whether it would run off the runway, whether it would disconnect, or whether it would explode...

The lights went out after two "chacha" sounds, and the pitch-black cabin seemed to have stepped into the silence of death, and the roar of the engine made people tremble.

The apron was temporarily used as the side of the extended runway. US soldiers stood upright one by one, holding a large torch light high in the wind and rain to illuminate and navigate passenger planes that may run off the runway at any time, even if it is my life for your safety. .

"50 meters...10 meters...0 meters..."

The plane visibly vibrated, and the "rumbling" landing gear touched the ground, sparking dazzling sparks, and the taxiing speed gradually slowed down, finally stopping at the end of the temporary runway.

The heart that was about to jump out of his throat finally settled down, and the cabin where he escaped from death was full of cheers. The American soldier in charge of transporting the wounded walked into the cabin wearing a fireproof suit and a fireproof mask.

"Are you OK?"

Qiao Lier, who was still in shock, made an "OK" gesture, and the soldier signaled to go down through the emergency passage.

As soon as Qiao Lier slid down, a military doctor stepped forward to check him up, but there were a few scratches on his forehead and arms, which was fine, so he put a blanket on him.

In the heated lounge, hot tea, coffee, bread and hot dogs are placed on the table. Although it is not a fine food, it is already the most delicious happiness for those who have experienced a catastrophe of life and death.

The wind and rain outside gradually stopped, and the passengers lined up to make calls one by one in an orderly manner.

Fish maws appeared in the sky, and a ray of golden light tried hard to penetrate through the thick clouds, bringing hope for a new day.

"It's your turn." The person behind pushed Qiao Lier.

Qiao Lier picked up the microphone, quickly pressed a few numbers with her fingers, "beep~" After a long beep, the voice that didn't wake up was vague, "Hello~"

Looking at his watch, the US time should still be in his sleep. It is estimated that the person did not know that the plane made an emergency landing. "Jiffy, it's me."

"Ah?" Zhao Jiefei got up, and the quilt fell under the bed, half naked, wearing only a pair of underwear, "Did you get off the plane?"

"Hmm~"

Zhao Jiefei squinted his eyes halfway to look at the phone. It was obviously midnight, so the phone was broken?Look at the alarm clock next to the bed, yes!It's not yet dawn, and the plane should arrive at [-]:[-] in the morning, "Where are you?"

"Aleutian Air Force Base."

"What?" Zhao Jiefei took out the IPAD from under the bed to surf the Internet while holding the phone. The headline reads that the plane made an emergency landing on the Aleutian Islands, "Are you injured?"

"A little scratch, it's fine." Qiao Lier stroked the wound that had been simply bandaged, "I want to ask what qualifications do you need to be a forensic doctor in the United States?"

"What?" Zhao Jiefei thought he heard it wrong, and picked his ears.

"I asked you what qualifications do you need to be a forensic doctor in the United States?" Qiao Lier repeated again, "Don't make me say it a third time!"

"Haha!" Zhao Jiefei was so happy that he jumped up on the mattress, "Xiao Qiao, we will discuss this issue in detail when you come."

Qiao Lier hung up the phone and went outdoors, the sun rising from the sea was shining brightly, the hem of the coat fluttered with the wind, and the life that had experienced darkness was rekindled because of you.
