Chapter: 5028

"Mexico?"

Five Four Seven listened to Lee Ya Lin's analysis and quickly asked, "Lee Inspector, you mean that we went to the United States to execute a task and flew to Mexico first before entering American mainland via land route?"

"That's correct." Lee Ya Lin nodded and said, "This is my most reliable guess. Other methods are too difficult. Since they're using planes to transport these dead soldiers, they must have a landing site. The United States and Canada can't let them bypass customs quietly, so only Mexico has the conditions for this kind of situation."

Five Four Seven asked, "Don't they need to clear customs when flying into Mexico?"

Lee Ya Lin explained, "When a plane enters a country, it needs to go through two procedures. One is air control, and the other is customs clearance. Air control is for controlling the aircraft before landing, while customs clearance is for checking passengers and cargo after landing. It's impossible for anyone to completely hide an aircraft's movements unless they don't care about their lives, given the high density of civil aviation flights nowadays."

Lee Ya Lin continued, "However, the advantage of choosing Mexico is that it's easier to deal with Mexican customs after the plane lands and get rid of those dead soldiers. It's much simpler than in the United States or Canada."

Five Four Seven nodded slightly and asked Lee Ya Lin, "So what do we need to do next? You just said that an aircraft can't hide its movements. Should we start investigating from there?"

"That's right," Lee Ya Lin replied. "From the day you arrived in New York, go back three to five days and list down all the planes that entered Mexico during those few days. The plane you took should be among them. Then it's just a matter of how to screen through them. This will require a lot of work."

Mentioning nothing earlier, Wan Pao Jun suddenly spoke up, "From your vantage point, Lee Inspector, any plane flying directly from Mexico would have to cover at least 16,000 kilometers. Most planes can't fly that far. Do you think they just flew straight to Mexico or stopped somewhere else along the way for refueling?"

Lee Ya Lin's expression turned serious and he said, "I lean towards direct flight. For them, making a stop requires additional takeoff and landing, not only wasting time but also posing a significant risk. Even if it was someone as strong as a martial arts master, there would still be the risk of being taken down by someone while on the ground."

Wan Pao Jun felt his back shiver as he spoke up again, "If the plane really crashed, even with a high-speed descent and massive weight, it's unlikely that even the strongest martial arts master could survive."

He continued, "Planes capable of flying such long distances are usually large commercial jets or ultra-long-range aircraft. Normally, planes that can fly over 16,000 kilometers would be Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 super-long-range models;"

"If Lee Inspector thinks they're likely to have stopped in Mexico, we should focus on the planes that entered Mexico during that period, prioritizing the ultra-long-range jets. This should eliminate most of the flight information."

"If the flight information meets the conditions, and there are flights that took off from the area or nearby that you drew a circle around, then those would be the primary suspects."

Lee Yalin's eyes lit up as he spoke, "This clue is very valuable, it can save us a lot of trouble."

Wan Pao Jun said, "Then I'll let someone check the flight records of planes entering Mexico during that period!"

Lee Yalin hastened to say, "Wan Daoren, investigating flight records isn't difficult, but can you ensure that your channels are 100% reliable?"

"Don't worry," Wan Pao Jun nodded, "The information channels of Wan Long Palace are extremely high-level, and we have many firewalls. Inspector Lee, you don't need to worry."

Lee Yalin nodded slightly, cautioning, "Oh, by the way, Daoren, let's also organize all cargo plane records that entered Mexico as well."

"No problem,"

...

Before long, a thick folder of documents was handed over to Wan Pao Jun.

This folder recorded all flight information entering Mexico within five days prior to the New York incident.

Since most incoming flights are small to medium-sized planes, there were only a few aircraft that exceeded 15,000 kilometers in range.

Among these less than 100 aircraft, passenger planes accounted for 80%, while cargo planes accounted for 20%. JrNovels.com
