“Mexico?!”
After hearing Merlin’s analysis, 547 asked hastily, “Chief Lammy, do you mean that when we go to the United States to perform a mission, the plane will land in Mexico first before entering the United States by land?”
“Yes.” Merlin nodded and said, “This is the most reliable method, in my opinion. The other methods are too difficult. Since they are transporting dead soldiers by plane, they must have a landing site. Neither the United States nor Canada will allow the dead soldiers to bypass customs and enter the country secretly, and only Mexico has this condition.”
547 asked puzzled, “Wouldn’t the plane need to go through customs when it enters Mexico?”
Merlin explained, “A plane has to go through two levels. The first is air traffic control, and the other is customs. Air traffic controls the plane before it lands, and customs controls the passengers and cargo after the plane lands. In the world, no one can hide the whereabouts of a plane completely unless he does not want his life anymore because the density of civil aviation passenger planes is too high, so the plane is subject to air traffic control. Otherwise, the possibility of a collision is very high. So, I presume that the plane that you were in at the start must be a normal registered plane, and it has applied for the flight route in compliance with the procedures.”
With that said, Merlin then added, “But the advantage of them choosing Mexico is that after the plane lands, it would be much easier for them to transport the dead soldiers out of the Mexican customs compared to the United States and Canada.”
547 nodded slightly and asked Merlin, “Chief Lammy, what should we do next? You just said that the whereabouts of the plane cannot be hidden, so should we start our investigation from the plane itself?”
“Yes.” Merlin said, “We should sort out all the planes that entered Mexico about three to five days from the day you arrived in New York. The plane that you were on should be among them. The rest of the work is how we should screen the planes, and this should be a lot of work.”
