Riverside Police.

Chapter 187
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Canal Public Security Bureau of Jiangnan Province welcomed four guests from Binjiang.

Director Lu Zhenhua and political commissar Hong Yu are very familiar with Yu Xiangqian, head of the water security branch of the Binjiang Public Security Bureau and director of the water sub-bureau who led the visit.

Logically speaking, it would be a joy to have friends coming from afar, but after Yu Xiucai finished introducing the accompanying personnel, Bureau Lu and Political Commissar Hong couldn't be happier.

The three people accompanying him were actually criminal police officers. One was Chen Xianfeng, deputy detachment of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Binjiang City Public Security Bureau, Wu Renguang, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Linghai County Public Security Bureau, and Hu Jianrong, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Dongqi County Public Security Bureau.

The three backbones of Binjiang's criminal investigation system came to him without asking what they were doing.

They are not outsiders, Yu Xiucai felt that there was no need to go around in circles, and smiled as soon as he sat down: "Boss Lu, Political Commissar Hong, we take the liberty to visit the door, not only to report the case, but also to give gifts."

Director Lu took out his cigarette and asked calmly, "What case to report and what gift to give."

"There are too many cases to report."

Yu Xiucai took the cigarette and looked back at Chen Zhi from the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Chen Zhi opened his briefcase and took out a thick stack of several shipping companies affiliated to Binjiang City and shipping companies in various districts and counties of Binjiang City, as well as individual shipping operators in various districts and counties of Binjiang City, who were extorted, stolen, and forcibly bought in the northern section of the Grand Canal Forced sales, and a list of the crew members in Binjiang City who were beaten or even intentionally injured.

He gave a dry cough and read: "On January 88, 1, the Jiangnan 2 fleet of the Binjiang County Shipping Company was robbed by more than 718 water bandits when it was moored in the fog at the Zaohe section.

A crew member on duty found out and stopped immediately, but was stabbed in the thigh by a water bandit with a harpoon, and the fleet was robbed of nearly 6000 tons of coal.On the same night, more than [-] yuan in cash was robbed twice from a fleet in a township in Dongqi County, and three women were molested. "

Sure enough, the visitor was not good!
Bureau Lu signaled the director of the office who attended the reception to call the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, lit a cigarette and listened attentively.

“88年1月5日，滨江市第三航运公司的江南647、648船队在宿千曹甸段遇雾锚泊，被水匪敲诈勒索现金5000元，船队的望远镜、收音机也被抢走了。”

I don't know about these situations without counting them.

The leaders of Binjiang County, Linghai County, and Dongqi County were outraged and ordered the public security bureaus of their respective counties to take strong and effective measures to ensure the safety of shipping companies and personnel engaged in shipping, and to do everything possible to recover economic losses.

When I went to the city committee meeting the day before yesterday, I even reported to the city leaders together.

The city leaders attached great importance to it and asked the Municipal Bureau to set up a special working class to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Vice-captain Chen had nothing to worry about, and continued to read: "On February 88, 2, when Chengye, an individual on-board ship in Yuelai Town, Linghai County, bought pork in the Siyang section, because he was short of catties and less than two taels, he had the same surname as He. There was a dispute among the three pork sellers, and the three Ho brothers beat him up and cut off Zhang's right middle finger with a knife."

"On March 3, the 5 fleet of Chonggang District, Binjiang City was anchored at Shengzhuang Section, Sanbao Township, Huai'an City, and was looted by more than 119 local villagers on board. About [-] tons of coal and lead were robbed. Barrels, flashlights and other paraphernalia."

"On March 3, fleet 18 of the Linghai County Shipping Company was intercepted five kilometers downstream of the Suqian ship lock by sixteen water bandits. The water bandits resorted to violence, beat the crew on duty, and sealed the cabin door of the crew with a shovel. More than 219 tons of coal and some crew members' money and goods were taken away."

"At about 4:9 in the middle of the night on April 26, a group of water bandits covered the beacon lights with old clothes and set up false light signals next to them to mislead the 582 fleet of the Dongqi County Shipping Company to run aground. Extortion on the grounds of scratching..."

One by one, it makes people indignant to listen to.

Chen Zhi couldn't move after thinking about it, so he just put a thick stack of case briefing lists in front of Bureau Lu and Political Commissar Hong.

Yu Xiucai opened the official document, took out two documents, and said helplessly, "Bureau Lu, this is an instruction from our city leader and the leader of our city bureau. This is a letter from our city bureau requesting your cooperation."

The two in front of me are the directors at the first level!
Sitting across from him as if negotiating, Wu Renguang felt that everything was so unreal, and Chen Zhi lightly poked his arm.

Wu Renguang came to his senses suddenly, and quickly took out a document from his bag: "Report to Bureau Lu and Political Commissar Hong. This is an instruction from Secretary Chen of our county party committee."

Water bandits watch people order food, know that state-owned shipping companies are rich, and attack the fleets of state-owned shipping companies the hardest.

In other words, counties such as Linghai and Dongqi suffered the most.

Hu Jianrong, head of the criminal investigation team of the Dongqi County Public Security Bureau, took it easy and took out a copy of the county leader's instructions.

The leaders of several counties were furious, and even alarmed the leaders of Binjiang City. This is not a trivial matter. If you don't show an attitude, they may go directly to the province to file a complaint.

Bureau Lu just didn't know what to say, so Yu Xiucai raised his head and said, "Boss Lu, the statistics on the materials are only the shipping companies in Binjiang City, the shipping companies in the three districts and counties of Chonggang, Linghai, and Dongqi, and some individuals. The situation encountered by Funato is being counted in several other districts and counties, and the number of similar situations will be preliminarily counted in a week at the latest."

This is only two years, and only a small half of the county.

As the director of the Canal Public Security Bureau, Director Lu hated water bandits and boat tyrants more than anyone else, but there were only a few police officers in the bureau, and the channel to be responsible was so long.

More than 400 kilometers, almost across a province, can it be managed by the Canal Public Security Bureau alone.

The law and order in the southern section of the Grand Canal is much better. That is because the economy is developing well and the people along the river have ways to make money. Follow the desperation.

More importantly, the local government has no money, the local police force is insufficient, and the car bandits and road tyrants on the shore cannot be attacked, so they can't care about the canal.

Unlike the water police sub-bureaus in several cities in the south of the Yangtze River, there are people who have funds and can organize forces to fight water crimes and ensure the law and order of the canal.

Director Lu was about to complain, when Political Commissar Hong asked in a low voice, "Ju Yu, you just said gifts, what's the matter with gifts?"

"You two may not be happy to say that the water bandits in the northern section of the canal are rampant, and the Linghai County Shipping Company has suffered greatly from it. Not only is it always suffering serious losses due to extortion, but it also affects the coal supply of the entire county. The Linghai County Public Security Bureau The bureau, in conjunction with our water branch, is organizing police forces to escort the fleet."

Yu Xiucai paused, then continued: "The first batch of ships set sail at noon yesterday, consisting of two towing fleets and 21 individual on-board boats, one of which transported yellow sand to the north, and one The fleet transported corn.

Comrade Xu Sanye, member of the Party committee of our water sub-bureau and captain of the Linghai Police Brigade, served as the commander-in-chief of the escort of the first batch of ships. They did not wear police uniforms, did not turn on police lights, and sailed normally like other fleets.

If they encounter water bandits and river bullies extorting, stealing or even robbing, they will take resolute and decisive measures.After the water bandit Heba is under control, I will hand it over to you two for investigation. I don't know what you two think. "

In the past, Yu Xiucai was a bare-bones commander, and every time he went to the province to attend meetings related to water security, he would sit in a corner.

Every time it was his turn to speak, he was embarrassed.

Since there is no team, the work cannot be carried out, and there is really nothing to report.With no one under his command, he has no confidence as a polished commander.

However, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Yu Xiucai first took advantage of the large number of boats flooding into the Yangtze River this spring to illegally catch eel fry, and turned the water sub-bureau with only one brand into a real water sub-bureau.

Immediately afterwards, by taking the lead in attacking the water bandit ship tyrants in the Yangtze River, it was a hit and stole the limelight.

Farewell for three days, and treat each other with admiration.

Bureau Lu knew very well that he could no longer take Yu Xiucai seriously, and subconsciously asked, "Armed escort, waiting for the water bandits to fall into the trap?"

"The leaders of the city and several counties attach so much importance to it, we can't do nothing."

"The first batch of ships is coming, is there a second or third batch?"

"Boss Lv, this time our public security bureaus at the city and county levels have made up our minds and must give an explanation to the shipping companies and crew members engaged in shipping in the city. Considering the relationship between the source of goods, gate passage, cargo loading and unloading, and berths, in the next month , we will organize three batches of ships to escort in three batches."

Yu Xiucai paused, and then said with high spirits: "The commander-in-chief of the first batch of escort ships is Comrade Xu Sanye, a member of the Party Committee of our bureau, the commander-in-chief of the second batch of escorts is Comrade Wang Wenhong, the political commissar of our branch, and the commander-in-chief of the third batch of escorts." The commander is Comrade Zhou Hong, deputy director of our water sub-bureau."

It's a bit embarrassing to think about the law and order in the jurisdiction, and let others take care of it.

However, the situation on the water is different from the situation on the shore. To really improve the law and order of the canal, it is far from enough to rely on the canal public security bureau alone. Even the public security system alone cannot solve the problem fundamentally. The government attaches great importance to it.

Bureau Lu thought for a moment, and felt that it was not a bad thing for Yu Xiucai to stir up the muddy water.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Every time a meeting mentions how bad the security of the canal is and how rampant water bandits are, whether it's superior leaders or media reporters, the first thing people think of is our Canal Public Security Bureau."

Bureau Lu took a deep breath, and continued: "But others don't know the situation in our bureau, but you, Bureau Yu, know it. If there is no support from the local public security and even the local government for the 100-kilometer waterway, let alone we only have [-] kilometers. There are many policemen, even if we give us a hundred more, it won’t work.”

"I know, I understand."

Yu Xiucai looked back at Chen Zhi, Wu Renguang and others, and sighed: "We want to maintain the law and order of the Yangtze River. It is not enough for us to rely solely on our water sub-bureau. .”

"Long live the understanding."

Bureau Lu nodded, and said very seriously and sincerely: "As for the situation that the four of you just mentioned, I dare not make any guarantees, but I can express two opinions on behalf of the Party Committee of the Yunhe Public Security Bureau.

First of all, I would like to thank the Binjiang Municipal Bureau and the public security bureaus of several districts and counties in Binjiang for organizing forces to help us fight against water bandits and bullies, and welcome everyone to come.

Secondly, regardless of whether the armed escort can capture a group of water bandit river tyrants this time, and regardless of whether any of the water bandit river tyrants arrested this time have participated in previous illegal and criminal acts against Binjiang shipping companies, we will organize our forces to investigate and deal with Chen Zhi. Those cases on the list! "
