Riverside police

The weather forecast was accurate. It snowed heavily at night.

When I woke up, snowflakes were still falling in the sky. Looking around, I saw a vast expanse of white.

After returning from the East China Sea, the coastline patrol came to an end, and the institute became very busy. The director and instructors left early and came back late every day. Sometimes no one was seen for a day or two. I didn't know what they were busy with.

Lao Zhang is responsible for daily work and stays at the office every day. He has been on duty for eight consecutive days.

Han Yu is responsible for all work related to the ship. Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen and Liang Xiaoyu are officially incorporated into the law enforcement rescue fleet of the Yanjiang Police Station.

The four people must make final preparations for entering the Yangtze River, seize the time to familiarize themselves with the mechanical, electrical equipment, lighting signals and alarm systems of the barge, and at the same time perform maintenance on 001 and 002.

In short, I want to keep the three boats in the best condition and have something to do every day.

But the first task this morning was to clear the snow. We started together to sweep away the snow in the yard and at the gate, and then divided our forces into two groups.

Captain Wang and Zhu Baogen were responsible for cleaning the snow on 001 and 002, while Han Yu and Liang Xiaoyu were responsible for cleaning the barge.

Considering that the weather was freezing, dripping water turned into ice, and the deck would be very slippery after being frozen, I went to Bailonggang Village a few days ago and bought a lot of mats made of straw.

Villagers use this kind of mat to cover pig and sheep sheds, and Yanjiang Police Station uses it to pad the deck to prevent slipping.

When Han Yu and Liang Xiaoyu rushed to the small dock of the shipyard with straw mats in their arms, Han Xiangning, who had moved here the day before yesterday, had already cleared the snow on the first and second decks of the pontoon.

It is said to be a deck, but it is actually a circle of walkways around the upper and lower floors. You can shovel directly into the river with a shovel and sweep it with a broom. The workload is not big.

"Good morning, Sister Xiang Ning!"

"No matter how early it is, it's not early for you. What time did you get up?"

In the past few days, Yu Bureau has been seeing no end. She was living alone on the pontoon. Han Yu was not at ease. The other two dormitories on the first floor were unoccupied for the time being. He and Liang Xiaoyu had already moved in and lived next door to her for two years. Night.

Han Yu motioned her to go to the aisle in the middle of the barge first, and while laying out straw mats, he smiled and said, "We got up at six o'clock, which is not too early."

Han Xiangning was wearing the military coat that her mother had when she was in the army, holding a hot water bottle and asked: "Six o'clock is not too early!"

"We used to get up at five o'clock."

"What are you doing up so early?"

"The coastline patrol not only exercises your body, but also allows you to measure our jurisdiction with your feet. If it hadn't been for the cold weather and Xu's busy schedule, the coastline patrol would have continued."

"Make it look like a border patrol. You are the police, not the border guards."

Other police stations will not be like this. This is the characteristic of Yanjiang Police Station.

Han Yu didn't know how to explain it, so he simply smiled and said: "Sister Xiang Ning, breakfast is ready. Uncle Qian has steamed the buns. You can go over and eat first."

Han Xiangning asked with a smile: "Have you eaten?"

"Let's clear the snow off the top of the barge and go back to eat."

"Don't worry, we'll go together when you're done."

"All right."

Han Yu took out the tools from the utility room and climbed onto the roof of the barge with Liang Xiaoyu. He first braved the biting cold wind and carefully cleaned the snow on the radar antenna, radio antenna, signal light and tweeter, then cleaned the mast, and finally cleaned the "roof" .

Han Xiangning stood on the first floor walkway, looking at the flying snowflakes, and asked: "Xianyu, are you cold at night?"

"It's not cold, how about you."

"I'm not cold either, I have a heater."

She did have a heater, which was the same brand as the cassette recorder sponsored by the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau, both from Sanyo.

Burn kerosene, and after it is lit, the inside is like a reflective iron sheet like the iodine tungsten lamp on a construction site, which reflects the heat. It can not only keep warm, but also bake shoes, socks and even clothes.

Thinking that the weather was so cold, Xiao Xunxun's diapers would definitely not be enough to change. Han Yu asked: "Sister Xiang Ning, where did you buy that heater? I want to buy one too."

"I didn't buy it, it was from the bureau. If you want to buy it, I'll call your office later and ask."

"I want to buy one for my sister-in-law."

"You care a lot about your sister-in-law."

"My brother is not at home, and she is home alone with the child, and the child is so young."

As a young boy, he is a grown-up in his own right in the workplace and still cares so much about his family. Han Xiangning was sighing secretly when Boss Wu hurried over in a leather jacket.

"Good morning, Director Han. Director Han, are you cold?"

"Manager Wu, I'm not the director, I'm just a clerk."

Boss Wu felt that as long as he worked in a government department, if he couldn't figure out the job title "Director", he would definitely be right. He smiled and said: "Director Han, the power installation company called me just now and said that they would come over to repair the line in the afternoon. , intending to help us connect the electricity."

Han Xiangning was not a police officer at the Yanjiang Police Station, so she didn't know what it meant to receive the call.

Han Yu was amused, leaned over and asked: "Manager Wu, so we can drag the barge over later!"

"Xianyu, do you want to ask your Xu Suo for instructions on such a big matter?"

"No need to ask for instructions. Xu Suo explained the day before yesterday that as long as the water and electricity are in place, the barge can be towed to the river."

"This is the best. The pontoon bridge has been put up for several days. It is made of steel and is worth tens of thousands. I am afraid it will be stolen. I have to arrange for someone to watch it in such a cold weather."

"You don't need to arrange for someone to watch it after the barge has towed it over."

"Then I'll ask someone to find a boat. As soon as the barge is towed over, the anti-collision bollards will be lowered. The work must be completed before dark."

"Okay." Han Yu thought for a while and asked with a smile, "What time is it now?"

Before Boss Wu could say anything, Han Xiangning raised his arm and looked at his watch: "Seven forty-six."

Han Yu took off his gloves, took out the walkie-talkie from his coat pocket, and shouted: "Captain Wang, Captain Wang, this is Xianyu, please answer when you receive it."

"Please speak when you receive it."

"Today the electrical installation company came to pick up the electricity. We have to tow the barge to the river. It's not even eight o'clock yet. We will prepare the vehicle at nine o'clock and set sail on time at nine-thirty."

"Copy that, get the car ready at nine o'clock and set sail at nine-thirty."

"Uncle Zhang, I am Xianyu. Please answer when you receive it."

"Ok, ok, what's the matter?"

"Today the electrical installation company will come to pick up the electricity. We are going to tow the barge to the riverside and prepare to set sail at 9:30. We will pass through the lock around 9:50. Please say hello to the lock."

"I know, I'll go to the lock after breakfast."

"By the way, I'd like to ask Master Zhou if he has time. Our ship is big and we have to carry out construction work when we reach the river. We can't do without the ship to keep watch."

"Okay, I'll go tell them."

The waterways and ships on this side of the ship lock are under the control of the Port Supervision Station of the Linghai County Transportation Bureau.

After the ship lock, as long as it is the Yangtze River waters, regardless of the main stream or tributaries, it is under the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Yangtze River Port and Shipping Supervision Bureau.

The barge was towed to the river, and 001 and 002 entered the Yangtze River, which meant that the Third Port Patrol Law Enforcement Brigade could "open for business."

Han Xiangning didn't want to sit and wait alone in Bailong Port, so she immediately walked over and locked the dormitory door, raised her head and shouted, "Xianyu, I want to report to the bureau leader. I'll go to your institute to make a call first."

"Go ahead, we'll go back soon."

"After I make the call, I have to go to the post office and ask if they can help us install the phone this afternoon."

"Sister Xiang Ning, by the way, I want to ask Bureau Yu. Bureau Yu also needs to install a phone, and the initial installation fee has already been paid."

"Okay, can you lend me your little Qingqi for a ride? It's too far to walk."

These sisters have no resistance to the little Qingqi.

Every time Zhang Lan came over, no matter what happened, he would take the keys and ride a motorcycle for a ride.

Xu Suo's lover, Sister Wei, also likes Xiao Qingqi, and even used it for a whole day yesterday.

The senior sister below is not much better than them. She came here the day before yesterday and she wanted to learn to drive a small Qingqi.

Fortunately, the director knew that Xiao Qingqi needed to burn gas, so he gave them some gas tickets from the Bailonggang gas station, otherwise the salary would not be enough to keep them entertained.

Everyone had to open it, and Han Yu was a little reluctant at first.

Now I want to drive it. Anyway, I didn’t buy the car with my own money. If there are many people driving it, I don’t have to pay for the gas. I immediately agreed: "The car is in the canteen. The key is not pulled out. The road is slippery. Drive slower."

"I know, don't worry."

Han Xiangning smiled, put on his gloves, and carefully stepped off the barge.

…

At 9:30 in the morning, 001 set sail on time.

When Lao Zhang came back from the ship lock, he went to Bailong Port to buy a bunch of firecrackers. Together with Lao Qian, he set off half of the firecrackers at the small dock behind the police station. The remaining half was put on the boat and set off again when they reached the riverside.

Master Zhou and Xiao Liu from the Ship Lock Management Office continued to drive 002 to escort 001 and the barge.

Captain Wang drove 001 and turned around at Chagang, north of the shipyard.

Boss Wu summoned six workers to board the barge and listen to Han Yu's command.

After Captain Wang turned around the 001 and drove it to the small dock of the shipyard, six or seven people started to tie the cable together, and then stood on the left and right sides of the barge with their pennies in hand to prevent collisions with ships waiting to pass through the lock. After all, barges are indeed a bit big compared to other boats.

The leaders of the lock management office were very helpful and emptied the lock chamber early.

Han Yu stood on the second deck of the barge, watched 001 slowly drag the barge out of the lock chamber, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally entered the Yangtze River!

Lao Zhang looked at the surging river water and the snow-capped river beach with emotion.

After hearing the news, Lao Liu from the Bailonggang Police Station rushed to the barge at the passenger terminal. He held up his walkie-talkie and asked, "Lao Zhang Xianyu, why don't you say hello when you move, so we can go and fire cannons for you!"

"We've already let it go. Save your firecrackers for when we put up the sign and cut the ribbon."

"Okay, let's go take a look first after you guys park."

"Okay, it should be soon."

Lao Zhang put down the walkie-talkie, turned around and asked, "Xianyu, has Captain Wang passed by? Our base is in the west."

Han Yu walked to the corner, looked back, and explained: "I've never sailed before. Our barge is heavy and has a deep draft. The channel here is already shallow and narrow. It's the dry season now, so it's not easy to turn around here. I have to make a U-turn ahead.”

"Why do you have to turn around? The left and right sides of the barge are the same. There are big signs on both sides."

"It looks similar, but it's actually different. The cable piles on the side facing the river are stronger than the ones on the shore. And you need to find the correct position for anchoring. Make sure that the aisle in the middle of the first floor is facing the pontoon. Go to the front and turn around. Just change from sailing with the current to sailing against the current. It is easier to adjust the angle when going up the water than adjusting the angle when going down the water."

Lao Zhang generally understood, and asked inferences: "After the barge is parked, 001 will be parked on this side of the river, and 002 will be parked on the bank?"

"Well, we have one large berth and two small berths. 001 has a long hull and can only be moored on the side facing the river. 002 has a short hull, is light and has a shallow draft. Mooring it inside, the ebb and flow of the tide and the blowing It’s also safer during typhoons.”

"So the berth at the back is divided into two by the pontoon. If there are more small motor boats in the future, they can also park."

When it comes to the berths for small motorboats, Han Yu thinks of something: "Uncle Zhang, Boss Wu printed a corporate brochure. It not only has photos of our barges and 001 and 002, but also small speedboats made of fiberglass. It looks beautiful like a yacht.”

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "He really knows how to advertise, but can he build a fiberglass speedboat?"

Han Yu explained: "He doesn't know how to build, but he can join forces with others. The joint venture manufacturer is also from our Linghai, and it is a newly opened fiberglass shipyard. The owner of the shipyard is both his friend and his current partner. Others build The small berth behind our barge can accommodate two of those fiberglass speedboats.”

“How fast is a fiberglass speedboat?”

"Soon, imported gasoline engines were used, ranging from fifty to two hundred horsepower. They were much faster than our 002, but they were of no use to us."

"Afraid of wind and waves?"

"The hull is also not strong and cannot withstand collisions, and the propeller can easily get entangled in fishing nets. When the weather is calm, it can be driven on the seaside or lake for tourism, but it won't be of much use here."

Lao Zhang knew that Xiao Xianyu would not say this for no reason, so he asked curiously: "Did Boss Wu tell you anything?"

When this matter was mentioned, Han Yu became a little depressed and muttered: "Not with me, but with Sister Xiang Ning."

"What did he say to your sister?"

"He and the owner of the joint venture want to sponsor a fiberglass speedboat to the Port Regulatory Bureau. They want to build a good relationship with the Port Regulatory Bureau through this method, and also want to open up the market through this method. After all, units that can afford the speedboat not much."

"They are quite good at doing business."

"yes."

Han Yu looked back behind him again and said bitterly: "But they are burning bridges by doing this. If it weren't for us, there would be no chance for him to establish a relationship with the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau, let alone use our barges and law enforcement rescue boats to advertise. Consider our barges and law enforcement rescue boats as model projects for them!”

Although that kind of speedboat is of little use to Yanjiang Police Station, it is indeed a bit unethical for Boss Wu and his partners to give the speedboat to others instead of giving it to Yanjiang Police Station. No wonder Xiao Xianyu is unhappy.

Lao Zhang looked at him with a smile and asked, "Did you talk about him?"

The wind on the river was strong, and the blow on my face hurt like a knife.

Han Yu pulled up the collar of his coat and whispered: "I didn't say it so bluntly. I told him that the remaining bureaus were already stationed and that an on-site meeting of the water security management departments of the entire Binjiang Public Security System would be held on our pontoon in the future. We If there is water equipment, people will definitely want to use it in the future.”

"Are they interested?"

"If several district and county public security bureaus are going to go to the police, how big a deal is this? They will definitely be interested. As a result, they followed us to burn bridges again. Yesterday afternoon, they brought their partner Pidianpidian to the Yu Bureau. Plan to sponsor a speedboat to the Water Bureau.”

"Do you want the rest of the game?"

"Don't waste the things that are delivered to your door. Yu Ju was very happy and boasted to them and asked them to quickly send the speedboat over and try it out first.

If there is no problem with the quality, the Shuishang Public Security Detachment and the Shuishang Public Security Bureau will not only purchase but also vigorously promote it in the future. The author even invited them to attend our ribbon-cutting ceremony and introduced them to the leaders of the Customs and Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau. "

Those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black.

This child is becoming more and more like Xu Sanye. He has actually learned a new way of "extortion" and has transformed from a little salted fish into a small wild fish.

It's just that I didn't learn enough, and my "extortion" skills were not deep enough, so my first "extortion" failed.

The more Lao Zhang thought about it, the funnier he became, and patted him on the shoulder: "Boss Wu is a bit snobbish, but he is in business, and he has to negotiate business. Besides, sponsoring the Shuishui Public Security Bureau is sponsoring us, isn't it? Yu Bureau and that Chen Zikun can’t sail a boat, and even if he could, they wouldn’t even be able to find a place to park the boat.”

"That's true."

"Have Boss Wu and his partner said when they will send the fiberglass speedboat?"

"They are working overtime to produce. From their tone, it seems that they plan to sponsor the company before we open it and cut the ribbon, otherwise the leaders of the Port Supervision Bureau, Customs and Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau will not see it."

"Did your sister from my family say whether the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau wants it?"

"No one wants the free speedboat, but I heard from her that if they really send the speedboat over, their bureau will arrange for someone to drive it away. The water area under their jurisdiction is so long, they are short of boats than us."

"Does Xu know about this?"

"I want to report, but I can't see anyone else. What are Uncle Zhang, Xu Suo and Li Zhi busy with these days."

In order to crack down on the local gangsters who bully the market in Linghai, the bureau set up a special task force.

A total of nine police officers, including Xu Sanye and Li Weiguo, are busy conducting secret investigations these days, quietly looking for victims to collect evidence, and must strictly keep confidentiality.

Lao Zhang was not worried that Xiao Xianyu would leak the news, but considering that the work of the law enforcement and rescue fleet was equally important, he did not want to distract him, so he said perfunctorily: "The Chinese New Year is almost here, there are many meetings, and there are many assessments."
