death of hope

"Missing!? You said... what?!"

At this moment, Marcus Lynch hoped that he had an auditory hallucination, but what he waited for was Shaft's reconfirmation.

"Boss, you heard right, the flight is missing.

Lynch froze in place, his brain was in a mess, and the air around him seemed to freeze, making him feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

"What else are you hiding from me, tell me."

·
Shaft was silent for a few seconds, how much he wished to ask others to speak for himself.

Better to be Johnny Blazer, hurting the grieving veteran in front of him with the truth.

But everyone is not there, this disturbing bad news seems to be destined to come out of his own mouth,

All he could do was to state the details as much as possible and delay the pain as much as possible.

·
"From past experience, the investigation of interstellar airway accidents has an extremely rigorous and cumbersome process, which requires the cooperation of multiple federal agencies.

Thanks to technological progress, the efficiency of investigators going to the scene to collect evidence is very high. The engineer sent by the spacecraft manufacturer will give a preliminary appraisal result.

Then it is handed over to the representatives of various agencies for review, and based on the continuously detailed information, the most credible accident investigation results are analyzed,
Due to the rigid and rigid bureaucracy and poor efficiency within the Federation, the entire review process will become a protracted grind.

·
As for the compensation for the families of the passengers, and the lifting of the ban on media reports, it will be after the year of the monkey.

Of course, I can't just wait like this, waiting meaninglessly. Umbrella's people are not idle, so I must take the initiative.

So, I took a huge risk and hacked into the federal ZF intranet server again,
More than 50 private companies and federal agencies participated in the investigation, of which only four played the leading role.
They are the spacecraft manufacturer Boeing (Boeing),
Navigation equipment maker Lockheed Martin,
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
Federal Transportation Safety Board (NTS)

·
The last one is the agency that made the conclusion of the accident investigation. Due to the failure of the server cloud disk array, all relevant materials are stored in the archives of the agency.

Without network data access, modern hacking methods cannot work. I have to use the methods of the old-timers, go back to the basics, and go to steal the data in person.

The security measures at the NTS headquarters are very strict, and it is difficult to sneak in, so I had to go outside to think about it.

·
I noticed that at 04:30 every afternoon, the cleaners in light blue uniforms will come out in full force,

Large nylon trash bins are pushed out from the building, and a professional cleaning company that cooperates with the federal government will send a cart to collect the trash and transport it to the suburbs for incineration or landfill.

The next day, I "borrowed" a car from the local area, and followed the garbage truck. When the driver couldn't bear to get out of the car to pee, I climbed into the car and inserted the mobile hard disk with the worm virus into the central control. You can easily gain control of the car-machine system through the USB port on the console.

I controlled the cargo compartment of the garbage truck to open, and about a dozen buckets of garbage fell down, but the driver didn't hear it because I turned up the music on the center console to the loudest.

·
I kicked down the trash can and rummaged through it with branches. Most of them were printed paper documents that had been shredded by a shredder.
I finally found one that was not smashed, it was a pink hello kitty greeting card,

Connect the button battery and start playing the birthday song, what a treasure!
It was a birthday card for the child of a senior executive of the Federal Transportation Safety Board (NTS).

According to the information on the greeting card, I successfully found the social account of the child. She is an Asian girl in her early teens who is in elementary school and likes cute little pets.

·
That night, the child received a push from the Weibo account she often reads, "Cute Pet Community", which seemed to be a set of pictures, but was actually a phishing link.

When the child couldn't help but click on those cute pictures of cats, cats and dogs with the mouse, the code hidden in the pictures was activated.

My Trojan horse virus quickly captured her home's local area network, cracked the router password, and killed her father's laptop in the bedroom along the network cable.

·
A few days later, I "borrowed" a suit, entered the NTS building wearing a self-made access control card, lay in the warehouse to sleep and waited for the security guard to get off work, got up in the middle of the night, turned off the surveillance, and cracked the smart lock to enter the file room. "

Speaking of this, Shaft's voice became lower and lower, and a pair of tired eyes drooped, constantly avoiding Lynch's gaze.

"The missing feeder flight MH370 of Malay Star Line...to be precise, the wreckage of the spacecraft...was found far off course..."

·
"no, I can not……"

Marcus Lynch stared wide-eyed and exhaled moxibustion fever. Shaft looked like a child who had done something wrong, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in:

"NTS supervisors and technical personnel from various companies investigated the scene. There were signs of fighting in the aisle of the spacecraft cabin, the power room was deliberately damaged, a large hole was blown out of the hull, and the cold remains of some passengers were floating around. The escape pods all disappeared.

·
The units participating in the survey have different opinions, mainly divided into two factions,

The FAA, along with Lockheed Martin, believed the flight was hijacked by Star Pirates, got into a fight and was blown up.

The Federal Transportation Safety Board (NTS) and Boeing believed that terrorists were among the passengers and blew up the flight to cause panic.

Some small pieces of on-site evidence and photos are stored in the archives. On a photo of the victims,
I found a red and white umbrella and a small skull pattern on the collar of the deceased, which is the emblem of Umbrella's corporate warriors...

Possibly, I'm guessing...the corporate fighters wanted to take the kids, clashed with the Doctor...caused the flight crash..."

Marcus Lynch was still trying to find hope: "You just mentioned that all the escape pods disappeared, maybe...they escaped..."

·
"Yeah, at the beginning, I thought the same way, the children will surely turn danger into good luck... until... I found these..."

Shaft trembled, and took out two sealed plastic evidence bags from the pocket of his tactical windbreaker, which contained two charred and blood-stained things respectively.

·
One of them is a classic style of children's long johns, with "Frantz" embroidered with gold cotton thread near the elastic band,
The crooked handwriting and poor embroidery work are obviously made by Mrs. Lynch.

The other was a cotton baby swaddle with "Sara" embroidered in the same poor way

The edges of the children's long johns and swaddling clothes were scorched, and the cloth was stained with blood.

·
"

My Franz!
my Sarah!

"

The old soldier completely broke his guard, and fell to his knees with a "thump",
Take the children's long johns and baby's swaddle out of the evidence bag, put their noses together,

Lynch smelled a faint lavender aroma, a familiar smell,
Nellies Super Concentrated Baby Laundry Soap, Sigurdriefa's favorite brand.

Every time she goes to the mall, she grabs a few packs from the shelves.

·
(It's over, everything is gone, I...how can I confess to the child's mother...I can't even protect my own flesh and blood...what kind of a hero am I!?)
·
Accompanied by endless self-blame, the last hope was finally annihilated, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the cold ground.
