And if a stowaway 藏身者 scampers into the gear well after a pilot completes his or her walk-around, his or her presence will not be detected. What about other ground personnel catching the stowaway? Often the folks loading the bags or servicing the aircraft are focused on 专注于(..is focused..., the helping verb "be" is used with "focused" to create a continuous tense. (Present tense and a sense that the focus action is continuing.) I am focused on learning English. (I am learning now and continuing to learn.) The second example, "I focused on..." is past tense. I focused on learning English. (I was learning English in the past.) focus verb I.

If that individual had remained hidden from view, he may have waited until the plane was not being loaded or serviced. There have been occasions at less busy airports where stowaways have run out onto taxiways in an attempt to crawl into baggage compartments or landing gear wells. Scaling 翻越, 翻过 an airport perimeter fence at an inconspicuous point would allow a stowaway access to a plane. An airport with lower security standards might also allow breaches to the ramp through doors or jet bridges. In the end, in this day and age of high security, it is highly unusual for someone to hitch a ride aboard a commercial airliner, let alone survive the flight. Any individual who attempts such a feat is foolish, ignorant of the dangerous situation - and must be completely desperate. First, the landing gear well of a large jet has little space for anything but the massive support structure and the wheels. Without knowledge of where to position oneself, a person could be in the path of those components, whose retraction and extension 伸缩 carries a hydraulic pressure of 200 bar, that would likely crush a stowaway like a bug. Second, the lack of oxygen at high altitudes during an eight-hour-and-50-minute trip, as in the Kenya Airlines flight, doesn't bode well for human survival. Temperatures nearing minus 50 degrees aren't conducive to blood flow. And third, if one survives such an ordeal, landing gear extension on approach to the airport would disrupt the perch of a stowaway, potentially sending him falling to his demise.

It appeared to have been wiped. Right. So no prints. Lindsay Denton was shot at close range. The vehicle interior shows a substantial blood spatter pattern. Did you find blood particles on me? At the time of Steve Arnott's arrest, his clothing was seized for forensic examination. There were no traces of blood or gunshot residue detected.

It was masonic (Masonic 一伙的 [məsɒnɪk] is used to describe things relating to the organization of Freemasons. ...a Masonic lodge on Broughton Street.). In that file on Ronan Murphy, Murphy's connection to Hunter must have been concealed by police officers, and who gave us that file? Hastings. The Caddy is the codename for a serving police officer with lifelong links to organised crime, working as a fixer within the police service for certain criminal interests.

In 35 years, this has been my worst day in the service, and now this little incident just about caps the whole lot 超过所有! Was it your idea to go behind my back or was it yours? To be fair to DI Cottan, he sought me out for guidance. It was my decision to sequester the evidence from Danny Waldron's flat because of its sensitive nature in regard to a fellow officer. It seemed a bizarre and possibly meaningless find, sir, but I just had a feeling that it might alert Steve. And if it had of done then we wouldn't have had all this other evidence. Oh, yeah, you're on very thin ice with me, DI Cottan. Are there any other surprises in store? I hope not, sir. I hope not, too. II. 隔离. 分开.

He'd hardly do it openly. Corrupt officers have access to criminal contacts. Please answer the question you've been asked. Did you ever witness Detective Sergeant Arnott with such an enormous sum of cash? I don't know how Steve Arnott got hold of the money and then got it into my house. Ms Denton, you've answered. And I'm still answering. If I'm inaccurate, I'll be corrected. Steve Arnott had my complete trust and the trust of the officers on guard duty. He could easily have picked his moment to plant the money and I firmly believe that that is the best explanation for how it came to be there. Because I had never seen that money before. Were you aware that you were under investigation by Anti-Corruption Unit 12? Yes, I was. And were you cooperating with that investigation? Yes, I was. You were being completely honest, to the best of your knowledge, in assisting them with their enquiries? Yes, I was. And had you always been completely honest with Anti-Corruption Unit 12? Please answer, Ms Denton. It was a complex case and there were many details that were elusive and, at times, required further thought and examination before I could give a definitive answer. Did you lie in relation to matters surrounding the conspiracy to murder Tommy Hunter? Ms Denton. As I said, it was a complex case, and many details were difficult to define or recollect. Did you lie about having prior knowledge of Hunter? No. You lied about having prior knowledge of Hunter, didn't you? No. You told the investigators lie after lie to confound ( confound [kən'faʊnd] I. If someone or something confounds you, they make you feel surprised or confused, often by showing you that your opinions or expectations of them were wrong.

Use their expectations and then confound them. Hell and the devil confound it, this was his home!) them, and to pervert the course of justice, didn't you? It wasn't like that. It was like that. You wove a web of deceit to confound the investigators and to protect yourself, and you have the effrontery 大胆无耻, 卑鄙无耻 ( [ɪfrʌntəri] [formal, disapproval] Effrontery is behaviour that is bold, rude, or disrespectful. One could only gasp at the sheer effrontery of the man. ) to attempt to deceive 欺骗 this jury. No! Did you fabricate the improper relations between you and Detective Sergeant Arnott? No. Did you fabricate the planting of evidence against you? No. Lindsay Denton, aren't you an artful, devious person([diːviəs] I.

A devious route or path to a place involves many changes in direction, rather than being as straight and direct as possible. He followed a devious route.), who has betrayed the trust placed in her as a police officer No. and haven't you repeatedly and shamelessly connived 设计, 图谋 to obstruct those who would bring you to justice? 11. During the interview with Steven Arnott I indentified a number of issues that merit further examination. Of course you want to believe that Steve's innocent. Of course you do. But you're jumping to rash and extremely damaging conclusions. DC Fleming, please. Miss Bigelow, you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be used in evidence. It's been a long day and night, let's get a grip, Ted. Did you furnish ( I. If you furnish a room or building, you put furniture and furnishings into it. Many proprietors try to furnish their hotels with antiques. II. If you furnish someone with something, you provide or supply it 提供. They'll be able to furnish you with the rest of the details.) Superintendant Hastings with an intelligence file relating to Ronan Murphy, the suspect shot dead by Sergeant Danny Waldron on the 13th of May? I did. And from who did you obtain that file? Did an AC-12 officer furnish you with this file on condition of anonymity? Yes. DS Rogerson's copy of the file did not contain the omissions made to the one you received. I was given that file in good faith and I completely deny tampering with it. No-one's suggesting you did. What we're exploring here is that the alterations were made by said AC-12 officer. You're barking up the wrong tree 找错人. Matthew Cottan has done a first-rate job of rooting out a bad apple. Gill As for the file, he knew we were being obstructed, so he obtained it through unofficial channels. Why didn't he just give it to me? Because he was afraid you'd give him a dressing-down for acting improperly. Gill even after the time we spent together, you really don't know me at all.
