According to Golitsyn’s staff, he had cancelled his plans to attend the PRC centenary and recalled his advance team. He then got on a helicopter with Xu Shaoyong, a man he has historically had a public dislike for, traveled to Beijing Daxing International Airport, and died in a hacked drone strike.
What happened that made him change his plans so drastically? Who initiated the meet-up on the helicopter? Was this even the first time Yuri Golitsyn and Xu Shaoyong had met in private? No one even knew Golitsyn was in that helicopter until the body was identified, was he just collateral damage?

Also what were those rumors about a 4th person in the helicopter about? Considering Golitsyn got in there pretty much without anyone noticing, I have no doubt that there could’ve been yet another passanger just like some of the airport officials claimed. The question is who the heck could’ve that been and why is it potentially being hidden from the public?

I wonder if that airport official actually saw four bodies or if people were just reading too much into their comments… either way someone should keep an eye on them, make sure they don’t suddenly decide to go partying with Efrim Waite if you get what I mean

My theory is that the assassination was targeted at Golitsyn, thanks to his very public denouncement of G6. The fact the PLA didn’t let anyone from MPS near the crash site says to me there’s some kind of state-driven cover up with who was aboard the helicopter.
On the subject of how, I originally thought it would be something related to a blankout, but now I’m starting to think that was just whoever committed the hacking testing the limits of their abilities. The game show murder proves it’s possible, but the near-miss of the plane crash in Indiana seems to be confirmation that it wasn’t reliable enough. It’s worth noting both of those were committed in America.
Drone missile hacking seems somewhat more reliable than hacking people. I can’t decide if this is enough to convince me that this is a different actor/group retaliating, or the same group trying something more reliable.
Given the link to Omnipedia, Zhupao and the PRC, I don’t think it’s too wild to speculate that China is first-among states when it comes to controlling citizens; and considering it also controls the system that allows it to be possible, first-among manipulation of G6.
So, that leads me to my current understanding: A CCP-sponsored hacking group takes over a drone to target the helicopter. Golitsyn is killed to take out a very vocal voice against the now widely spread G6, Xu is killed as acceptable collateral for a more state-supporting CEO/executive in order to bring it under the yoke of the party.

There may well be some truth to a CCP-sponsored hacking group being responsible! Look who was just announced as lead investigator into the assassination:
A PLA captain who’s in command of a G6-focused cyberwarfare unit, and who has experience as a drone pilot! Maybe he was put in charge of the investigation precisely so he can remove all traces of PLA involvement? He’d know exactly where to look…
