When Xu Xian fully regained consciousness, the surrounding environment was no longer what a normal cabin should be.

Many people showed visible anxiety, and the extremely obvious burnt smell permeating the air made the entire cabin seem very uneasy.

Even the passengers in the row in front of Xu Xian called the flight attendant to inquire about the situation.

"What's going on? Why does it look like something is burning?" the passenger asked the flight attendant directly. There was no way, the burnt smell was so similar to that emitted when burning, it was not surprising for people to be suspicious.

You can actually smell the smell of burning things on the plane, which makes your scalp numb just thinking about it.

The flight attendant was obviously a little panicked. The smell was too obvious and she couldn't hide it at all. However, even so, she still had to force herself to calm down. If she even showed a panicked expression, it would be easy to

Panic spread.

"Don't worry, we are professionally trained and will definitely ensure safety." The flight attendant still gave the same standardized reply. However, it was of no use and did not respond directly to the passengers at all.

There was no way, she didn't have the ability to tell what was going on. She could only use the most mechanical words to talk to the passengers, just to fool them.

The passenger must have been really frightened. He was very dissatisfied with the flight attendant's answer: "I know you have received professional training and will ensure our safety. I just want to know where this smell comes from?"

This passenger seemed to know some tricks and knew that the flight attendant was talking in a cliché and did not accept the flight attendant's trick at all. However, he was destined to not get the answer he wanted.

In other words, if he asked anyone on the plane, including the flight crew at the front, no one could give an accurate answer.

As an insider in the industry, Xu Xian had already seen through her inner thoughts, but he did not criticize her.

Although he would not tell the truth, Xu Xian still felt that it was necessary to ask. The current situation was not considered normal.

"Is there any news from the cockpit?" Xu Xian asked.

Suddenly there was another sound in another direction. The flight attendant glanced around to find the source of the sound. At a glance, she found Xu Xian, who had red lips and white teeth, looking at her.

The flight attendant obviously regarded Xu Xian as an ordinary passenger and was about to respond to Xu Xian with what he just said. However, Xu Xian saw that the flight attendant still said the same thing, pointed to the flight attendant's boarding pass, and said: "I just want to know how to drive."

Has the cabin contacted you?"

When the flight attendant saw Xu Xian pointing to his boarding pass, he immediately understood and replied directly without repeating the meaningless excuse: "So far, the cockpit has not contacted us."

Xu Xian was silent for a moment. If there is a fire alarm on the aircraft, whether it is an engine fire, an APU fire, a cargo hold fire, or a wheel well fire, there will be corresponding instructions in the cockpit. And a fire alarm in any part will penetrate smoke into the passenger cabin.

, just like the current situation.

However, so far, the cockpit has not contacted the crew, and it does not seem that there is a fire alarm in the cockpit.

The flight crew pays great attention to handling fire alarms quickly and does not take long. The smell of burnt smoke almost filled the entire cabin. If there was a fire alarm somewhere, logically speaking, it should have been dealt with.

According to the rules, regardless of whether the fire is extinguished after handling it, the cockpit must notify the cabin crew to explain the situation. Otherwise, the cabin is left to guess based on imagination, and who knows what trouble may occur.

However, the flight attendant said that the cockpit did not contact them, so it is very likely that there was no fire warning in the cockpit. The flight crew in front was probably also looking for the source of the problem!

Moreover, the most important thing is that once a fire alarm occurs, it is a very serious situation and requires a nearby landing. However, even though the extremely obvious smell of burnt smoke can be smelled now, the aircraft is still in a stable cruising state. No

A little bit of descent and change of course.

This doesn’t seem to be the situation a fire alarm should have!

Xu Xian rolled his eyes a few times. This kind of inability to find the problem was the most annoying thing. He turned his head and glanced at the rear of the engine outside the window. Fortunately, there was no abnormal behavior. At least from the sound, everything sounded normal.

As long as the engine is running normally, everything will be fine.

Xu Xian gently waved to the flight attendant, motioning for the flight attendant to come closer. The flight attendant approached Xu Xian suspiciously, bowed slightly, and approached Xu Xian.

"Have you checked the bathroom?" Xu Xian whispered: "Is someone smoking in the bathroom?"

The flight attendant was shocked: "No way, how could you bring tinder in?"

Nowadays, flight security is so strict that ordinary passengers have no chance of carrying tinder through the strict inspections.

Xu Xian also knew that this possibility was very small, but he had to give it a try after all. Anyone would be wary of leaving such an obvious smell of smoke.

"It won't take long to check the front and rear lavatories. Or you can ask the flight attendant if you think it is necessary. Also... inform the cockpit about the cabin situation, don't leave it until the end.

The cockpit didn’t even know what was happening behind it.” Xu Xian commanded the flight attendant, and he naturally had a convincing power that made the flight attendant nod subconsciously.

When the flight attendant straightened up and was about to leave, he hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xu Xian, and hurried to the front cabin, apparently to find the flight attendant.

In fact, Xu Xian didn't hold out much hope for the possibility of someone smoking in the so-called bathroom. In terms of the current situation, it would be impossible to smoke a pack of cigarettes together to create such a smoky situation.

kind of effect.

In other words, no one smokes in the bathroom, so someone is afraid of setting a fire!

There are smoke detectors installed in the lavatory of the aircraft. If someone was really smoking in there, the alarm would have gone off. Of course, it is not ruled out that a knowledgeable person could block the smoke detector probe in advance.

Even, considering the worst, there are people with bad intentions who are relying on the privacy of the lavatory to do some ulterior things. In short, the situation in today's aircraft cabins is full of abnormal atmosphere.

At the same time, there was one thing that made Xu Xian very concerned. That was that the smell of smoke seemed to be different from normal smoke. It was more pungent and had a special smell. However, Xu Xian couldn't remember it for a while.

The flight attendant hurried all the way to the front cabin and met several flight attendants in the corridor who were trying hard to calm the passengers' emotions. Now even the most obtuse person can feel the seriousness of the problem.

When the flight attendant arrived at the front cabin, he found that the flight attendant seemed to be talking to the cockpit. So he waited quietly and did not disturb the flight attendant.

"Okay, I'll go check out the lavatory at the back," the steward agreed.

"Bring the security officer! If there is an emergency, you should deal with it first and then report it." The old teacher's solemn voice came from the phone. However, when the old teacher spoke, there were intermittent coughs from time to time.

Obviously, the crew in the cockpit was also aware of Xu Xian's worst guess!

The flight attendant hung up the phone, looked at the hurried flight attendant and asked, "What's wrong?"

"A passenger suggested that we check the lavatory." The flight attendant explained: "He seems to be a flight attendant as well."

"Who?" The steward's eyes suddenly narrowed, like an alert falcon.

When the flight attendant saw the steward's vigilant look, his heart involuntarily shrank: "Passenger 40C."

The flight attendant has been a veteran of flying for many years, and there is no need to rely on seat markings to locate relevant personnel. It only took a cursory scan to spot Xu Xian among the crowd.

"Sister, what's the problem?" The flight attendant noticed that the flight attendant looked at Xu Xian a little too sharply, as if something was not normal.

"We were asked to check the lavatory just now!" The steward took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil, but when he breathed hard, there was a choking smell: "Just stay there and don't move."

The flight attendant took a step forward, patted the safety officer in the first row on the shoulder, and motioned for him to follow.

This security officer is the one in uniform, and his identity is revealed from the beginning. There is also a security officer in plainclothes who is always hidden in the cabin.

Maybe the passenger in 40C was really a flight attendant, and out of good intentions, he alerted the flight attendant. It’s also possible that this harmless-looking young man was an accomplice of the person who caused the smog incident, or was it him?

Whether he reminded the flight attendant to check the lavatory was to distract the crew or for some other purpose, no one knows yet.

Bringing a safety officer when the cockpit asked them to check the lavatory meant that the flight crew felt that there was a possibility of some man-made extreme event. Then, she must be cautious about all unusual things!

The flight attendant led the safety officer from the front cabin to the rear cabin of the aircraft, preparing to inspect the lavatory according to the instructions from the cockpit.

There are two lavatories at the front and rear on the plane. The lavatory at the front is currently unoccupied, while the lavatory at the back was reported by the flight attendant in the rear cabin to be occupied just now.

After the flight attendant crossed the first class and business class and entered the economy class, when passing the third row of the economy class, he raised his right hand slightly and made three gestures to the passengers in the third row leaning against the corridor.

And this passenger is the safety officer in civilian clothes!

The three hand gestures are one of the secret codes agreed upon during the pre-flight coordination. They indicate the seat number of the person who needs special attention.

The gesture the crew chief gave to the plain-clothed safety officer meant 40C!

Regardless of whether that person is a flight attendant or not, and whether he has good intentions or not, it is never too much to watch carefully before checking the restroom yourself.

Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, let alone under such abnormal circumstances!

The plainclothes safety officers received the hand signal from the flight attendant and instantly recalled the passenger layout of the entire aircraft in their minds. Before each flight, they would study the passenger layout to find the best observation position.

The economy class was almost full this time, with only his current seat and 42B available. The reason why he didn't choose 42B was because 42B was in the middle of a row of three seats. If something unexpected happened, he wanted to get up and leave his seat.

When traveling, he will be blocked by passengers in 42C. Therefore, even if his current seat does not have a very good view, it is still convenient for movement.

However, it was different now. After having a clear goal, 42B was actually better than the current position. He touched the baton on his waist without leaving any trace, pretended to be a passenger who wanted to go to the toilet, and started to get up and go to the toilet.

Go later.

When the flight attendant passed by Xu Xian, he glanced down slightly, glanced at Xu Xian's neck, and found that there was no tape with the Civil Aviation Administration logo.

Some flight crew members find it inconvenient to reveal their IDs when flying in economy class, so they keep them in their clothes but do not take them off.

If you look carefully, you can find a blue belt around the neck. The unique logo of the Civil Aviation Administration of China will be printed on the belt, and the flight crew will know it at a glance.

If Xu Xian's identity could be confirmed, things would become simpler.

However, to the disappointment of the flight attendant, she did not find the strap around Xu Xian's neck. Of course, the lack of a strap does not mean that Xu Xian is not a flight attendant, but if there is a strap, there is no need to make such random guesses.

Already.

The flight attendant and the safety officer went straight to the lavatory at the back. The flight attendant at the back saw the flight attendant approaching in a menacing manner and signaled that the people in the lavatory had not come out yet.

The steward glanced at the sign on the lavatory lock, which indeed showed that there was someone inside.

After the lavatory door on the aircraft is locked inside, the sign will change from the outside to indicate that someone is in the lavatory.

The flight attendant tilted his head and whispered to the safety officer quietly: "Turn on the law enforcement recorder. If there is an emergency, deal with it first and don't hesitate."

During the flight, the captain has almost unlimited power, which is granted by the law. However, the law gives the captain supreme power, which does not mean that the captain can do whatever he wants. After landing,

The captain must explain the compliance of his decisions on board. If some important decisions are not in compliance and the captain cannot give an objective explanation, the captain will also be punished.

Even international conventions and domestic civil aviation laws stipulate that if the captain has reason to believe that someone will or has posed a safety threat to the aircraft, he can take necessary and appropriate control measures.

This is quite a bit of power to take disciplinary measures!
