Riverside police

It was already half past nine in the evening after the wedding banquet, so Mayor Shen naturally would not let Vice Mayor Ye return to Yangzhou overnight.

Lao Ge is now different from what he used to be. He is very wealthy. He quietly called and arranged a place to stay at the wine table.

Han Yu and Han Xiangning followed him, Mayor Shen and Political Commissar Zhou to take Vice Mayor Ye to Wushan Hotel in three separate cars.

It was rare to get together with a few old subordinates. Vice Mayor Ye was sincerely happy and of course wanted to have a good chat.

Lao Ge booked a suite. The room was big enough and could be upgraded.

They were either leaders or elders. Han Yu and Han Xiangning were not qualified to serve at the table, so they simply acted as waiters and served them tea and water.

However, their interest was not in playing cards. As soon as they sat down, they talked about their current situation, important personnel changes in Linghai and Binjiang, and even summarized the economic development of the past year and looked forward to the next international and domestic economic development trends!

In the year 2000 that just passed, the performance of the national economy was similar to that in 1999. Although several "structural contradictions" were slightly alleviated, there was no major adjustment in development ideas. The superiors have issued a series of policies, but the specific implementation is difficult to achieve at the moment.

Many projects are duplicated and the city has a surplus of industrial products.

Many companies have reorganized or even closed down, and many employees have been laid off.

Rural and agricultural development are facing severe challenges. The economy has grown rapidly in the past few years, but the actual market price of agricultural products has been declining. Over the past two decades of reform and opening up, 70% of the increase in farmers' net income has come from diversified operations other than grain production.

Until today, grain production has not been truly integrated into the market economy system. Planned planting and planned purchase still dominate, which directly leads to harsh realities such as slow income growth of farmers, increased burdens, grain backlogs, and increased financial losses...

Han Yu just took an economics class. He couldn't believe that there were so many problems behind the economy that seemed to be developing rapidly. He suddenly realized that Vice Mayor Ye was not appointed by the province for his achievements in flood fighting and rescue operations. Of great responsibility.

What his superiors really value is his economic ability. In fact, the years when he served as Secretary W of Linghai City were the years when Linghai's economy developed the fastest!

Mayor Shen is not only good at attracting investment, he was originally a cadre of the Planning Commission, specializing in formulating various economic development plans. It can be heard that he has his own ideas on how to carry out economic construction.

Lao Ge is not only good at cheating, he also understands economics, especially the problems existing in rural and agricultural development.

Han Yu was secretly shocked when he heard this.

Han Xiangning benefited a lot and couldn't help but ask: "Mayor Ye, how do you think we can solve these problems?"

"From the perspective of the overall environment, the shadow of the Asian financial crisis is gradually dissipating, which can be seen from the rebound in exports in the second half of the year."

While shuffling the cards, Vice Mayor Ye analyzed: "The global economy is emerging from the trough of contraction, and the country's successful diplomatic efforts in recent years have also begun to enter the harvest period. It is impossible for the United States and the European Union not to face up to the existence of an increasingly powerful China, and WTO negotiations We have entered the most critical stage. If we can join the WTO within one year, our economic development environment will be much better than last year."

"In what specific ways will it be better?"

"We have a huge market and hard-working workers with low labor costs. I believe that as long as we can join the WTO, capital from the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries will pour into China in large quantities, and many industries will be transferred to China."

Vice Mayor Ye smiled, thought about it and said: "The reason why Hong Kong's big boss is willing to invest in your Changzhou is likely to have a lot to do with the WTO negotiations entering the final stage. You are familiar with Hong Kong's big boss, don't believe there is a chance You can ask in person."

The last time the big boss from Hong Kong came to Changzhou, he actually talked to Mayor Hou about whether China could join the WTO!

Han Xiangning reacted suddenly and whispered: "So we will strengthen our efforts to attract investment next."

"It's not just you, Yangzhou is the same. Besides, your mayor Hou is so smart. I guess he has already started planning."

"Mayor Hou went abroad several times in the second half of the year."

"But we can't put our eggs in one basket. If we want to really solve those problems, I think we still need to rely on urbanization and industrial structure adjustment, especially the vigorous development of the tertiary industry."

Urbanization construction means letting farmers move into cities.

So many companies have closed down, so many urban workers have been laid off, and there aren’t that many jobs in the city. How about letting farmers leave their land and take advantage of the northwest wind?

Doesn’t the so-called tertiary industry allow people to open small shops or even set up stalls?

Although you can make money, there is no other way. Besides, as long as you are doing business, there will be profits and losses. What if you lose?

Lao Ge didn't agree with Vice Mayor Ye's point of view, but he didn't know how to refute it. He simply smiled and said: "This year is the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Party. Although there are some problems in economic development, I believe it will only get better and better."

Zhou Huixin didn't know much about economics, so she quickly said: "That's right, at least we have solved the problem of food and clothing. It may not seem like a big deal, but in fact it is very difficult!"

Han Yu was deeply touched by this and couldn't help but sigh: "We have developed very well in these years. At that time, I was dispatched by the Shipping Bureau and chatted with foreign captains on the ship. Do you know what people say about China?"

"What did you say?" Mayor Shen asked curiously.

"At that time, I had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. Although my salary was not much, I felt that my life was not bad. But people said that China is an extremely poor country. I didn't believe it at first, but later I docked at several ports in developed countries. , only to realize how poor we are.”

Han Yu paused and said with emotion: "I went on a trip with a naval fleet in July and circled the earth. It felt completely different from the first time I went abroad."

"Is there any comparison?"

"Well, the contrast is quite strong."

Only those who have been there know how difficult it is to be here today.

Vice Mayor Ye nodded, put down his cards, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Xianyu, this is your first time going abroad. Have you ever thought about staying abroad and not coming back?"

"No."

"Really? You really haven't thought about it?"

"No, I really haven't thought about it." Han Yu looked back at his senior sister and said with a smile: "At that time, Ning Ning and I had already established a relationship. Ning Ning was waiting for me at home. How could I stay abroad and not come back? .”

Han Xiangning felt happy and said with a smile: "Don't you dare come back!"

Shen Fan couldn't help but smile and said: "Mayor Ye, I think the reason why Xianyu didn't have the idea of ​​staying abroad at that time was that, firstly, Xiang Ning was waiting for him, and secondly, he was young and relatively innocent at that time."

"Mayor Shen, what do you mean by this? Even if I go abroad now, I will not consider staying abroad. I won't even think about it."

Before Shen Fan could speak, Vice Mayor Ye said meaningfully: "Just because you don't think so doesn't mean others won't. Do you know how many people never came back once they went out? I remember an art troupe went abroad. During a performance, dozens of people go out and only a few come back.”

"There are also athletes, even some who have won championships." Lao Ge sighed.

"There are even children of high-ranking cadres." Zhou Huixin patted Han Yu on the arm and smiled: "You had every opportunity to stay abroad but chose to come back. This is already amazing. It can be said that you have withstood the test!"

"What kind of test is this?" Han Yu was made to laugh. After thinking about it, he held the tea cup and said, "Moreover, I was not just an ordinary crew member when I was deployed. Before departure, the leaders of the Maritime Public Security Bureau talked to me about how many times I would go out. As many people as possible come back, I am the translator and team leader."

When Xianyu first went abroad, Zhou Huixin had not yet gone to work in Linghai, and Vice Mayor Ye was not the top leader in Linghai. He didn't even know Shen Fan at that time.

Lao Ge realized that they didn't know Xianyu as well as they thought, and couldn't help laughing: "Mayor Ye, Political Commissar Zhou, Xianyu used to be a police officer on offshore passenger ships and traveled on the Nanyang route. As soon as the passenger ships from the East China Sea to Guangzhou entered Taiwan In the strait, he must be fully armed and guard the bridge to prevent lawless elements from hijacking the ship and defecting."

Vice Mayor Ye really didn't know this and asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Yes." Han Yu nodded and confirmed with a smile: "I have worked on offshore passenger ships and offshore freighters. Domestic trade ships are different from passenger ships. There are no police officers on board, only political commissars. Some ships even have political commissars. None, I’m the equivalent of a political commissar on the ship.”

"So you are an old political security guard!"

"The main reason is that it was more chaotic than it is now. We need to prevent people from hijacking ships and defecting, we also need to prevent people from smuggling, and we also need to prevent people from taking advantage of their positions to smuggle."

While chatting, the phone suddenly rang.

Han Yu took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. Seeing that it was Jiang Youwei, the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, he quickly pressed the call button to answer the call.

"Bureau Han, where are you?"

"I'm in the city, what's wrong?"

"A floating corpse was found in the waters of Tiansheng Port. It has just been fished out. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it is likely to be a homicide!"

On the first day of 2001, something like this actually happened.

Han Yu's head got bigger and he stood up immediately, holding the phone tightly and asked: "The specific location?"

"I've just arrived at the Huaneng Power Plant Pier."

"Have you notified the Water Branch?"

"Notified, Lao Zhao came with me."

"Where's the city bureau?"

"We have already reported it. Wei Zhi asked us to protect the body. He will be here soon."

"Is the deceased a man or a woman?"

"female."

"I know, I'll be there right away."

Police information is an order, not to mention that the death was probably a homicide, and this was probably a homicide.

Han Yu did not dare to waste a moment and apologized to Deputy Mayor Ye, Mayor Shen and Zhou Huixin. He didn't even bother to say hello to his senior sister and Lao Ge, so he opened the door and ran to the elevator.

It was already 11:35 in the night when we rushed to the self-owned pier of Huaneng Power Plant. The police lights on the pier were flashing. Many power plant employees on duty at night, security guards and boat people anchored nearby for the night gathered on the pier to watch.

Changhang Branch Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain Jiang Youwei, Deputy Detachment Leader Liu Guixiang and Binjiang Police Station Police Officer Lao Xu are here. Deputy Director of the Water Branch Zhao Hongxing and Deputy Captain of the Second Marine Police Brigade Zou Bingshun are here. Gangzha Branch Criminal Police Brigade and Tiansheng The police from the Hong Kong Police Station are also here!

Han Yu didn't bother to say hello to everyone. He took the flashlight from Liu Guixiang, looked at the female body lying flat on the ground and asked, "Who found it?"

"Several dock workers at the power plant discovered that the freighter in front of them loaded with coal was about to enter the port. They came over to help berth. They accidentally discovered something floating on the river this way. When they turned on the headlight on the crane, they discovered that there was something floating in this direction. It was a person. They didn't know whether he was dead or alive, so they rushed to rescue him by a traffic boat, but when they drove over, they found that the person was already dead."

The body was not seriously decomposed and the time of death should not have been long.

The deceased was about twenty years old, with long hair, an oval face, and regular facial features. She was a very young and pretty girl.

Judging from the clothes, the deceased should have good economic conditions and at least like to dress up.

It's heartbreaking to think that he turned into a cold corpse in his best years.

Han Yu sighed secretly and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect it was homicide?"

Jiang Youwei knelt down, gently brushed the deceased's hair away with his gloved hands, and lifted the deceased's chin: "Director Han, look here."

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t look at it, but you would be shocked to see that there was an obvious strangulation mark on the neck of the deceased!

Han Yu couldn't bear to look at her and was silent for a moment. Then he stood up and asked, "Does she have anything on her that can prove her identity?"

"No."

"Who salvaged it?"

"Me." The policeman from the Tiansheng Port Police Station raised his hand and came over and said: "The dock workers found out that it was a corpse and did not dare to touch it or leave. They used the intercom on the river to report to the dock person in charge, and the dock person in charge called We called the police to report the crime. We rushed here as soon as we received the report and borrowed the traffic boat from the pier to fish out the body."
