About This Novel

Three years ago, Cheng Wan, the fiancée of civil aviation safety investigator Gu Xizhou, disappeared on the XY731 night flight. The plane had no wreckage, no black box, and no distress signal. It seemed as if it had been swallowed by the night sky. Gu Xizhou refused to accept "no conclusion", and the number on the top of her phone was a number she had not answered in three years. Three years later, anonymous tips pointed to a 0.5 Nautical mile radar deviation. Gu Xizhou restarted the investigation, and his partner was Xiang Nan, the radar engineer of the Air Traffic Control Bureau - the assistant on duty that night. The 0.5 Nautical mile error was a signal she misjudged as clutter three years ago and failed to report it. On that plane was her only friend. The investigation deviated from the conclusion: the transponder was manually turned off; a former aviation engineer boarded the plane anonymously, leaving the sentence "Some secrets are not worth bringing back"; the co-pilot's log wrote - "Tonight's night flight, someone is waiting for us. Not on the ground." Gu Xizhou finally learned that Cheng Wan was holding the hand of a strange passenger during the last eleven minutes of the plane's circling. That person lived until five minutes before landing, and she was never told the plane wasn't going to land. He did not disclose the truth. Some secrets are protected by disappearing people; living people are responsible for guarding the things they have guarded. On the day Xiangnan received the transfer order, Gu Xizhou said: "Losing contact does not mean disappearing. As long as there are still people who remember the waveform of the signal, it will still be there." She did not leave. On the radar screen, countless light spots move. She finally recognized one of them-it wasn't Guihang. It was the person who found the answer.
