Lin Fan is a pretty ordinary person.
She is neither pretty nor ugly.
He has regular facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Even if I meet her on the street, my eyes won't stay on her face for even a second, but it doesn't feel too bad to call her a beauty.
The height is okay, about 1.7 meters.
I was quite thin when I was in my 20s, and as I got older, I maintained my good figure for a few years.
As a result, I took medicine in the past few years and became as fat as a Michelin-starred girl. Even after I stopped taking the medicine, I didn't lose weight again.
The side effects of the drugs have not been eliminated, leaving behind a series of non-fatal but life-threatening illnesses.
My health is getting worse and worse, but I am not as good as my neighbor's 90-year-old grandmother. She has a rosy complexion and is full of energy. She can climb stairs without breathing hard and can even thread a needle.
Lin Fan can only win in terms of age.
But if you say she is ordinary, Lin Fan is quite famous in this area.
When talking about her, there is always an exclamation of "Oh, it's her..."
In third- and fourth-tier cities, many people get into college; many work away from home and don't return; and most marry soon after returning home after graduation. It's rare to find someone like Lin Fan, who spent several years away from home, returning to their hometown when they should have, and still not married in their 30s.
I'm afraid there's something wrong?
"Really? Don't you know? I heard she had that... depression, and went to a mental hospital. I heard she spent all the money she saved in the early years, and she still hasn't recovered."
"I think they're just bored. They can move around, but instead of looking for work, they stay home all day. They're perfectly fine, but now they're just sick. They look unhappy. What's there to be unhappy about every day? They're just acting!"
"Who would want her in her current state? She's not stupid. She doesn't want a young girl, but she wants a sick man who's too old to even have children."
"She seemed pretty good when she was little. She worked outside and looked pretty glamorous when she came home. She even brought a boyfriend home. He was tall and thin, and quite good-looking. How come she didn't get married..."
"Who knows? Maybe he knew she had a problem and didn't want her anymore. He's not stupid..."
"Her parents don't seem to care about her anymore. They don't live with her..."
"Even if you ask me, I don't want to care. A 30-something-year-old girl who doesn't work for no reason and is too lazy to get married. Won't her family be laughed at? She still needs her family to support her at this age. What's the point of raising her up? She might as well just die..."
"Hey, that's not right. A good death is worse than a miserable life..."
"Life depends on how you live..."
"What are you talking about? Is it the plane that crashed here a few days ago..."
"Oh, I was checking my phone. The guy who was piloting the plane was parachuting. Nothing happened..."
"I've heard about it too. It's said to be quite close to us. I didn't see it that day, but I seemed to hear a buzzing sound. Where exactly is it..."
"You don't know, listen to me, I saw the experts say that the young man is a pilot, and he is flying a fighter jet..." An aunt came out to explain the science.
"Fighter planes? We have fighter planes flying at this airport?"
"Aren't fighter jets military aircraft?"
"Oh! We have an international airport here and planes from all over the world can fly here. What's wrong with fighter jets? Are you still listening to others?" The science auntie was anxious.
"You tell me, you tell me!"
"The plane was flying right now, and it broke down right above our heads. Don't you think someone would be killed if it fell down from the building because we are living here?" The science auntie vividly described the emergency at that time.
"Yes, but we can't let it fall here."
"So that's why I say that guy is really capable!" The old lady slapped her thigh. "He had his plane forced to land, and he managed to fly to a deserted place before parachuting out. It's just east of where Kongzhuang was demolished. Wasn't it turned into a wasteland? He landed there. That's why nothing serious happened!"
"Isn't that only one or two kilometers away from us?"
"So close? If it hadn't parked properly, it might have hit us."
"This guy is really good, he must be praised!"
"Is that young man okay?" an aunt asked worriedly.
"It's okay, nothing happened after parachuting down. What's more, the plane only had some scratches on the oil surface. We can go back and repaint it and use it again. Otherwise, the loss would be huge." The science popularization aunt waved her hand.
"Wow, your skills are so amazing?"
"This saves the country a lot of money? Hundreds of millions, right?"
"Shouldn't this be praised? We even need a bonus!"
"You're just talking nonsense!" The science teacher waved her hand. "They have to make contributions. Soldiers, after all, can become leaders only if they've made contributions. What's a bonus? They have a bright future ahead of them."
"Speaking of leaders," another woman interrupted, "I heard the section chief of the Commercial Management Bureau in Unit 5 got promoted to deputy director."
"Is it true? Didn't you hear what his wife said?"
"What else can a wife tell you? Don't you understand how to make money quietly?..."
…
Inside an office in Gaohe City, the phone rang. A hand picked up the phone, but before anyone could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The middle-aged male voice responded.
The person pushed the door open and saw the person inside answering the phone. He said nothing, closed the door silently, and stood aside.
"I'm aware of what you're talking about. We've already sent people to investigate over the past two days," the middle-aged man said gently, his words unhurriedly. "But it's going to take time. We still need to confirm the specifics. There's no need to rush."
I don't know what was said on the other side, and the middle-aged man said again: "Don't worry, I will tell you the result as soon as I have it. Okay, okay, let's do this for now."
The young man who knocked on the door saw that the phone was hung up. He stood up and walked to the desk and greeted, "Director."
The middle-aged man, the director, smiled and waved, "Xiao Wu, sit down."
Xiao Wu obediently sat down in the chair opposite the director, placed the folder on the table, and pushed it over: "This is the investigation results of the last plane crash."
The director opened the folder, read it carefully, and said casually, "Tell me what you think."
Xiao Wu said, "The pilot said he saw someone catch the plane during his parachute descent. Based on this statement alone, we can't rule out the possibility that he's lying, or that he made a mistake in his extreme emotions. Since the military has ruled out the possibility of him lying, the only two options left are a mistake and the truth. It's hard to say whether he made a mistake, so I tried to verify the possibility of this incident being true from another perspective, and it turned out to be very high."
"For example, the plane descended rapidly from the fault altitude, and there were only some heavy friction marks on the bottom of the nose, which is very unreasonable. But if someone was holding the plane and it landed nose first when it was lowered, causing friction, then it is reasonable."
As he spoke, he pulled out a pen, pinched the middle part horizontally from the bottom, simulating the state of lowering an airplane, and indeed, the tip of the pen touched the table first.
The director watched his demonstration and nodded subtly. "What you said are all hypothetical. You can't judge them by whether they are reasonable or not. After all, it's unreasonable for someone to hold an airplane."
Xiao Wu laughed: "Director, do we still care about whether it is reasonable or not here?"
"Why don't you care? Logic should be used everywhere." The director pointed at the folder and glared at Xiao Wu.
"Yes, of course I have to tell you." Xiao Wu stopped laughing and said seriously, "The area where the plane landed is a demolition site on the outskirts of the city. It's been demolished for several years and there's been no progress on the construction. Apart from construction waste brought in from other places, it's full of weeds. It's basically a no-man's land."
"There's not even a light at night, let alone surveillance. The nearest surveillance camera is about 100 meters across the street. But it's a civilian surveillance camera with a limited range, so it can't capture that piece of land. It would be much better if there was a Sky Eye."
"If there were surveillance, what do you think we'd have to do?" the director said angrily. "Isn't it because there's no surveillance, no evidence, that the military called me? Look, it's only been two days, and they just called again to urge me. I don't know what the urgency is."
"Maybe he wants to kidnap someone?" Xiao Wu speculated.
"Killing someone?" the director snorted. "Even if they confirm it, they don't have control over that person." He pointed at the document he had read and asked, "Did they only identify one person?"
"Yes, based on the pilot's parachute jump location and the plane's final landing point, the radiation covered a 5-kilometer area. We've reviewed all the footage from various cameras at the time of the incident," Xiao Wu replied. "We've particularly focused our investigation on the area where the plane could be seen and the area behind the tail."
"What's wrong with her?" The director saw a few words written on the document. "Damaged clothes?"
What kind of question is this? If this person really is the same person, capable of flying and holding a plane, why would the fact that his clothes are torn matter? Could it be that he's like the Hulk, whose clothes burst when he transformed?
"The timing is too coincidental. You see, the community where she lived was just over a thousand meters away from the landing point of the plane. Before the crash, she appeared in the community surveillance camera, and her clothes did not look damaged at that time." Xiao Wu stood up and pointed to one of the photos.
The person in the photo is wearing a loose black T-shirt, brown shorts, and slippers on his bare feet. He is holding a red bag, and it is impossible to tell what is inside. The clothes don't look new, but they are certainly not torn.
"She passed through the atrium garden and entered the blind spot of the surveillance. Look at this time. One minute later, the aircraft confirmed the malfunction, then the pilot confirmed the parachute jump, and then the aircraft glided and continued to fall." Xiao Wu turned to the next page of specific data about the aircraft.
"According to our calculations, the plane was significantly lower than normal altitude when it passed over her neighborhood, accompanied by a loud roar and black smoke. It happened to be lunchtime, and the weather was hot, so most people in the neighborhood were taking a nap at home, so no one saw it."
"Based on its trajectory, the plane should have descended to the sixth floor near the east gate of the residential complex, then crashed into a building or slid across a rooftop before coming to rest on the road outside the complex. While that road only has four lanes, it's a major thoroughfare with a lot of traffic. If something had happened, the casualties would have been incalculable."
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, someone intervened. This is one of the key reasons we concluded the pilot's statement was true—the plane's trajectory was incorrect."
"What else?" asked the director.
"The camera couldn't capture the plane, but it captured its shadow on the ground, which provided us with a relatively accurate reference time. The plane passed her residential complex, and the last camera shot was about 10 seconds before landing. The time from the pilot parachuting to the plane landing was about 3 and a half minutes."
"During this period, none of the cameras in the community captured her. She only appeared in the camera after dark, and the back of her clothes was torn at that time." Xiao Wu pointed to another photo.
"Although there are blind spots in the residential complex, they are only in the atrium, and the perimeter is closed. So if you move around normally, you will soon enter other surveillance areas. The temperature that day was 32 degrees Celsius, which is still quite hot."
"During the hottest time of the day, she neither left the complex nor wandered around inside. She just stayed in a corner for over seven hours. This is clearly not normal."
The director looked at the row of small holes running from top to bottom on the back of the clothes, which were tattered and revealed patches of skin. He asked, "Could it be that he was assaulted in some way?"
"I've considered this situation," Xiao Wu replied. "I checked local police records, and there's no similar incident. Furthermore, the movements of other people are monitored by surveillance cameras, and no one has approached her area."
"We also considered the possibility of waking up from a heat stroke and fainting. Although the facial expression is unclear in the surveillance footage, the gait and other aspects of the body appear to be similar to when he went out, and he doesn't look weak, so we have ruled out this possibility for now."
The director nodded secretly.
"My conclusion is that she has great strength and can fly. She's probably unguided and may be in an uncontrollable state," Xiao Wu concluded, sighing helplessly. "Most importantly, during our investigation, she was the only one missing from the surveillance footage during the time of the incident, which is clearly unusual. So, regardless of whether it's her or not, we need to confirm it first."
"Okay then," the director closed the file, "you go and confirm it."
