Chapter 2435

"Mexico?"

After hearing Li Yalin's analysis, Wu death date hurriedly asked: "Detective Li, do you mean that when we went to the United States to carry out missions, the plane first landed in Mexico and then entered the United States by land?"

"Yes." Li Yalin nodded and said: "This is the most reliable method I can think of. Other methods are too difficult. Since they use planes to transport you dead soldiers, they must have a landing site. Neither the United States nor Canada would allow them to bypass customs and enter quietly. Only Mexico has such conditions."

Wu death date asked in confusion: "Doesn't a plane entering Mexico need to go through customs?"

Li Yalin explained: "A plane entering a country must go through two checkpoints: one is air traffic control, and the other is customs. Air traffic control manages the plane before it lands, and customs manages passengers and cargo after the plane lands. Worldwide, no one can completely hide the flight path of a plane unless they don't care about their life, because the density of civil aviation airliners is too high now. Planes must accept air traffic control scheduling, otherwise, collisions are very likely. So I speculate that the plane that sent you back then must have been a normally registered plane and applied for a flight path with compliant procedures."

As he spoke, Li Yalin added: "But the advantage of them choosing Mexico is that after the plane lands, dealing with Mexican customs and transporting you dead soldiers out is definitely much simpler than in the United States or Canada."

Wu death date nodded slightly and asked Li Yalin: "Detective Li, what should we do next? You just said that planes cannot hide their flight paths, so should we start the investigation from the planes?"

"Yes." Li Yalin said: "Starting from the day you arrived in New York, go back three to five days and sort out all the planes that entered Mexico during those days. The one you took should be among them. The rest is how to filter them. This workload should be very large."

Wan Pojun, who had been silent, spoke at this time: "Detective Li, from the location of your circle to any place in Mexico, it is at least over 16,000 kilometers. Most planes cannot fly that far. Do you think they flew directly to Mexico, or did they have another stopover for refueling?"

Li Yalin said with a serious expression: "I tend to think it was a direct flight. For them, a stopover requires additional takeoffs and landings, which not only wastes time but also carries great risks. Think about it, even the strongest martial arts masters, once they are all packed into one plane, have the risk of being wiped out in one go. Just imagine, if the plane were shot down during takeoff or landing, what kind of master could survive a plane crash?"

Wan Pojun felt a chill down his back and said: "If the plane really crashed, at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour, plus a weight of over a hundred tons and dozens of tons of fuel, I'm afraid no martial arts master could survive."

As he spoke, Wan Pojun added: "Planes that can fly such a long distance are basically ultra-long-range airliners among large passenger planes. Under normal circumstances, the only airliners that can fly more than 16,000 kilometers are the ultra-long-range models of the Boeing 777 and Airbus A350."

"If Detective Li thinks they likely landed in Mexico first, then we can sort out the planes that entered Mexico during that period and focus on checking these ultra-long-range airliners. We should be able to rule out most flight information."

"If among the flight information that meets the criteria, there are any that took off from the circle area you just drew or nearby, then that is the key suspect."

Li Yalin's eyes lit up and he said: "This clue is very valuable and can save a lot of trouble."

Wan Pojun then said: "Then I will have people check the Mexican flight entry records for that period!"

Li Yalin hurriedly said: "Palace Master Wan, investigating flight entry records is not difficult, but can you ensure that the channels you are investigating are 100% secure?"

"Don't worry." Wan Pojun nodded and said: "The Cataclysmic Front's information channels have a very high level of confidentiality, and we have many firewalls, so Detective Li can rest assured."

Li Yalin nodded slightly and instructed: "By the way, Palace Master Wan, also sort out the information on all cargo planes that entered the country."

"No problem."

Soon, a dense document was delivered to Wan Pojun's hands.

This document recorded the flight information of all planes that entered Mexico within five days before the New York incident.

Since the vast majority of incoming flights were small and medium-sized planes, aircraft models with a range of over 15,000 kilometers were already in the minority, so after sorting them out, there were less than a hundred flights in total.

And among these less than a hundred flights, passenger planes accounted for 80%, and cargo planes accounted for 20%.

However, because the circle area Li Yalin drew was roughly in South Asia and Southeast Asia, there were no direct passenger flights between these places and Mexico.

And during these five days, there was only one cargo plane that took off from Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.

The model of this cargo plane was exactly the modified Boeing 777 ultra-long-range airliner that Wan Pojun just mentioned.

From the entry information, it can be seen that this plane took off from Colombo on the evening of the fourth day before the New York incident, flew for twenty hours, and arrived at Monterrey, a border city in Mexico, in the early morning two days before the incident, landing at Monterrey International Airport.

The entry information also showed that the cargo filled in the plane's entry application was tea and coffee beans, which are specialties of Sri Lanka.

After Li Yalin saw this information, he said excitedly: "It's highly likely to be this plane!"

Wan Pojun also agreed very much and said: "This plane is a Boeing 777-200LR, which is Boeing's longest-range plane. With moderate modification, flying 20,000 kilometers is not impossible. And it is very common for passenger planes to be converted into cargo planes, but logically speaking, ultra-long-range airliners should not be used for conversion. Because ultra-long-range airliners have increased fuel storage space, the available commercial payload is not large to begin with. Using this kind of plane as a cargo plane means they don't care about payload, only efficiency. This aircraft model can basically fly directly between any two airports on Earth."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly and added: "Detective Li, this plane seems to be prepared for global mobility. Combined with the behavioral characteristics of that mysterious organization, I think your series of deductions, including this result, are correct! It is the target we are looking for!"

Li Yalin nodded: "I also think it's it!"

Wan Pojun couldn't help but admire: "Detective Li, you are truly amazing! To be able to lock onto the plane used by the other party in such a short time, that mysterious organization probably never dreamed that they would be exposed so quickly!"

Li Yalin said seriously: "It's mainly because of Wu death date. With him here, I was able to gradually lock onto clues and help me perform cross-comparisons."

"This organization must not have expected that any of their dead soldiers could survive, and they wouldn't believe that dead soldiers could leak any useful key information, let alone that someone would find their plane. If it weren't for Wu death date's information, we might even have thought these dead soldiers came from the United States."

"Moreover, normally speaking, even if someone were investigating the dozens of dead soldiers who suddenly appeared in the United States, they would never think that this was related to a regular cargo plane flying from Sri Lanka to Mexico. They would never think that we could use the earthquake information from the past many years to lock onto the approximate location of the dead soldiers, thereby narrowing the scope bit by bit."

Wan Pojun sighed: "Information is certainly important, but your ability to peel the cocoon from limited information and constantly narrow the scope is the key to finding clues. So it is not without reason that you are called the Chinese Detective!"

Li Yalin smiled modestly, then pointed to the registration number and the company that owned the cargo plane, and said: "By the way, Palace Master Wan, the registration number of this plane starts with 9V. If I remember correctly, this is the registration number for Singaporean aircraft, so this plane must be registered in Singapore. The ownership shows that its company is YT-Airlines. Please, Palace Master Wan, check where this company is registered and the company's public information. Since it is a normally registered company, the public information should be relatively easy to find."

"Okay!" Wan Pojun also felt a sense of clearing the mist to see the moon, and said excitedly: "Detective Li, wait a moment, I will check it on the computer!"

After saying that, Wan Pojun opened his laptop and searched for the company registered as YT-Airlines on a Singaporean corporate information inquiry website.

The information showed that this company was registered in Singapore and is an aviation logistics company with the Chinese name Yuan Tai International Express.

This company has a total of three shareholders, all of whom are Chinese by name. The company has a total of six registered cargo planes, and all of them are the ultra-long-range version of the Boeing 777.

After Wan Pojun found this information, he said to Li Yalin: "Detective Li, if we find these three shareholders, can we dig out clues about that mysterious organization?"

Li Yalin said with a solemn expression: "I think these three shareholders should all be fake identities. Such a cautious organization cannot possibly leave any substantive clues related to people in this link. The reason why they must register a company and register every plane is also a last resort. After all, aviation safety is a major issue that most countries in the world attach great importance to. Without complete procedures, their planes simply cannot fly."

Wan Pojun asked him: "Then what should we do next?"

Li Yalin thought for a while and said: "I met Mr. Ye before I came. Both he and I feel that we should not have direct contact with the other party during the investigation to avoid premature exposure. So I'd better report to him and see what he thinks!"
