Chapter 34 Missing
“Disappeared? What does disappear mean?! What does missing mean?!”
Los Angeles International Airport, inside the Federal Aviation Administration, Lisa clapped her hands excitedly on the desktop.
"Calm down, Madam, please calm down, we are explaining the problem to you now." A white man wearing a light blue executive uniform said in a businesslike tone.
Two strong security guards wanted to come over and pull Lisa back, but their hands were slapped away by Laura with a vicious slap, while Hechi blocked the other one with his body.
"Calm down first and listen to what they have to say." He Chi said in Lisa's ear, which temporarily calmed down the somewhat confused girl.
Then the executive drew a circle on an electronic map with a laser pointer.
“Mr. Duwei was flying a United Airlines Airbus A380, which is five years old and in good condition. According to the scheduled plan, it was supposed to be a direct flight from Honolulu to San Diego the night before yesterday. The local weather conditions were good. There were no adverse factors for the flight, but contact with the ground tower was suddenly lost an hour and a half after the plane took off. It has been 28 hours now, and the fuel on the plane It’s only enough to fly in the sky for ten hours at most.”
“Because the area around the area where the plane lost contact is the sea, and there is no area for an emergency landing, so...”
“Therefore. We can speculate that Mr. Constantin Duwei is currently in a very dangerous state of disappearance." A bald middle-aged man in a suit walked into the room at this time, and he took up the executive's words.
"Who are you? What do you mean by what you just said?" Laura asked angrily when she saw the person who broke in at random.
“Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Steve Kaufman, UKI’s Western Region Representative. You can call him whatever you want. I am mainly responsible for some aviation insurance-related docking work. I represent UKI here. Insurance expresses its deep condolences for the misfortune suffered by Mr. Duwei..."
"Please wait a moment!" He Chi interrupted, "No one said that Mr. Constantine had met with misfortune."
"Who is this? I remember Kang There are no male relatives on Mr. Standing’s contact list,” Kaufman turned to the executive next to him.
He Chi took the initiative and said, "I am his student and a friend of the two ladies."
"Well, in this case, please also listen to our suggestions." Mr. Baldhead spread his hands. "I can understand everyone's mood, but please look at this matter objectively. The plane flying over the Pacific suddenly disappeared, and the passengers survived. The possibility is slim.”
“Well, now that it has happened, we UKI. The insurance company is willing to pay the greatest sincerity for insurance compensation for this accident. We promise to give a high target for the specific compensation amount, as long as the relatives can sign the death certificate.”
After saying that, the bald man pushed over a claim settlement agreement that had been signed by Party A. He Chi glanced at the amount on it and his eyelids jumped.
4 million US dollars.
He remembered a survey report he had read when he was in school. According to statistics, the average air crash compensation of European airlines is 600,000 euros. In the United States, it is higher, only about one million US dollars. Although there have been cases before Air France pays tens of millions of dollars in compensation, but that is just an example. The amount of 4 million is almost several times the general compensation.
But why? Writing such a large check for a "suspected" plane crash that occurred just over 24 hours ago and has yet to be finally confirmed? Moreover, insurance companies and airlines came to the door on their own initiative. Shouldn't they two be at odds with each other for a while?
This is not normal.
Just when He Chi was thinking about how to remind Lisa, the girl made a choice first. "I won't sign this document. I believe grandpa is still alive." Lisa pushed the document back without hesitation.
The bald head was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the other party refused decisively without even thinking, but quickly put on a smiling face
"If there are any specific requirements on the amount, this lady can put it forward and we can completely discuss it."
"It has nothing to do with money. I believe grandpa is still alive. Compared with talking about compensation now, you still Hurry up and find the plane. We will discuss the follow-up matters after the investigation results come out. Now we have to leave." Lisa repeated what she had said, then stood up forcefully and walked out.
Two security guards blocked the door, He Chi stood in front of Lisa again, and Laura reached into her small handbag.
"Mr. Kaufman, what do you mean? Do you want to detain us?" Lisa, who was originally weak, bravely asked loudly.
"No, we don't mean that at all." Kaufman waved the security personnel out of the way, and then said, "I just want to remind you that the two ladies should still be in school, right? As far as I know, both He is one of the few direct heirs of Mr. Constantine. If his death cannot be confirmed, you will not be able to complete the inheritance of the property. Please think carefully about your own livelihood.”
"You don't have to worry about it. We can support ourselves by working part-time at McDonald's." Laura stood firmly on her sister's side.
Hearing this, Kaufman smiled, "You two may not know Mr. Constantine's consumption situation. It happens that we have had a good cooperative relationship before, and here are some of his credit records."
The bald man took out a few copies and handed them to Lisa and He Chi.
He Chi discovered that there were several large consumption bills, and the total amount was nearly one million US dollars.
“This is the consumption of several large-scale equipment purchased by Mr. Constantine before. It was paid in installments. The other amount is the property tax that should be paid on his villa. Of course, Mr. Constantine has the financial resources to spend. , there is no problem with his credit, but if he remains missing, even his immediate family members will not be able to use the funds in his account.”
"If the time drags on for too long, both the equipment and the property may be forcibly recycled. Please make up your mind as soon as possible." Kaufman reminded seemingly kindly, and then moved out of the way.
Lisa looked at the bills and walked out of the door silently without saying a word, while Laura showed her middle finger to several people when she went out.
Everyone else in the room left, leaving only Kaufman. He opened the window and saw He Chi and others getting into the car. The bald man softly uttered the word "fuck"
< br>"You are too impatient. The Asian seems to have noticed something." Someone behind him said a voice from a hidden small room.
"It's just a small problem, just a few students. If they really don't want the money, 4 million is enough for many gunmen to sacrifice their lives." Kaufman said gloomily.
He picked up the compensation agreement on the table and threw it into the crusher.
