1596 Found the Device to Play the Black Box
Bo Zheng indeed liked mechanical collections very much. However, after thinking for a short moment, he looked up and said to her openly, “I remember there’s one at home. It’s in the storeroom. Do you want to come up with me to take a look?”

Bo Zheng’s house was very big. It was the kind of big with Chinese pavilions. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were obviously taken care of every day. They were built neatly and beautifully.
The storage room was filled with all kinds of airplane models and airplane equipment. He was just short of moving a plane and placing it at home.
It could be seen that Bo Jingxing was not joking when he said that his uncle had almost become an excellent pilot.
Bo Zheng rummaged inside.
Half an hour later, he brought out a dark device that looked like an old-fashioned gramophone. A smile appeared on his scholarly face as he said to the girl, “I found it.”
Bo Zheng took the player out and placed it on a stool. He found a plug and plugged it in.
Then, he said to Qiao Nian, “Did you bring the black box?”
“Yes, I brought it.” Qiao Nian unzipped her shoulder bag and took out the black box.
Bo Zheng took it and smiled. “Wait a moment. I’ll help you see if it works.”
“Alright.” Qiao Nian agreed quickly.
A few minutes later.
Bo Zheng adjusted the old-fashioned broadcasting equipment again and finally finished it. He stood up and said to the girl gentlemanly, “Miss Qiao, listen to it. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and thanked him. Then, she walked over and put down her shoulder bag.
“Take your time. There’s no hurry.” Bo Zheng nodded and smiled. Then, he went out and closed the storeroom door.
Qiao Nian’s eyes darkened as she took out her phone, played the recording, and pressed it. Then, she placed the phone beside the playback device and pressed the play button.
The old-fashioned equipment had a poor sound effect.
Fortunately, the black box was well-preserved. A voice was finally released after two minutes of white space.
The front was filled with useless chatter.
Qiao Nian rested her chin on her hand, her face expressionless. However, she listened patiently, not pressing fast forward just because the first 10 minutes were boring.
Until a few minutes before the black box was about to finish playing.
The plane had encountered an accident, and the entire plane began to shake. The recording that had been very boring earlier began to add all kinds of noises.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning sharp. Her relaxed expression faded, and she gradually became serious.
She waited in silence…
Amidst the commotion, Qiao Nian heard someone speaking.
“Are you sure she has the item?”
“Positive. Wei Ying said she saw it with her own eyes.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows. Her fingers curled up on her lap, and her expression turned thoughtful.
Wei Ying?
The Wei family?
Then, amidst the noise, the two of them were still talking in low voices.
“But we checked that box carefully when we went through security. There was no such thing inside.”
This was the second time either of them had mentioned “that thing.”
Qiao Nian couldn’t help but notice this.
What were they looking for?
“Just because it wasn’t in the box doesn’t mean she didn’t have it with her. Don’t forget who Ji Qing is. She could’ve dodged security with the lift of a hand.”
“You’re right.”
“Our orders from above are to find something. If we can’t find it, we’ll destroy it along with everyone else!”
