Riverside police

The master bedroom on the left side of the second floor of the General Building is now the place where Liu Yu is under house arrest and where the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Jiangnan Maritime Bureau interrogates him.

The desk has become an office desk.

Secretary Liu and Director Yang sat in front of the desk, staring at Liu Yu like an interrogator and asked: "Comrade Liu Yu, listen carefully, we are now calling you comrade. If you still have a fluke and don't tell the truth to the organization, we will no longer call you comrade."

"Secretary Liu, I guarantee with my party spirit and personality that I really confiscated the money!"

"Think it over first!"

"No need to think about it, if you didn't take it, you didn't take it!"

"Really didn't take it?" Secretary Liu knocked on the table and reminded: "Yu Lida is next door, Rong Zhian is downstairs, they are all being questioned. If you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself. If you don't confess, they will confess! Who will confess first now? Who are you taking the initiative for? Don't regret it when the time comes!"

"I didn't take anyone's money, what should I regret?" Liu Yu felt more and more wronged, and turned to look at Han Yu standing in the corner and asked: "Director Han, have I been placed under double supervision?"

Facing an old acquaintance, Han Yu was somewhat embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment and said: "Answer Secretary Liu's questions and cooperate with Secretary Liu's work. You also know that you are a party member, and since you are a party member, you should not throw a tantrum."

"I swear to God, I really didn't take anyone's money!"

After asking for more than half an hour, Liu Yu resolutely refused to admit that he accepted two thousand dollars from the captain of a foreign ship. The same was true for Yu Lida next door and Rong Zhian downstairs.

Secretary Liu and Director Yang were really at a loss. They called in the active soldiers outside to keep an eye on Liu Yu to prevent him from doing something stupid. Then they called Han Yu, Political Commissar Dong, Huang Junming and Xiaoyu to the living room on the first floor and asked with a wry smile: "Director Han, what do you think?"

"There are only two possibilities. One is that they were well prepared and had already colluded on how to deal with the investigation by their superiors. The second is that they really didn't ask for bribes and really didn't take people's money."

"Which possibility is more likely?"

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs. I really can't say for sure." Han Yu couldn't help but think of the incident that happened in the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau. He was silent for a moment and sighed: "For example, Lu Binxiang at that time looked gentle and kind. Who would have thought that he would kill people, and he was a perverted serial killer."

The Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau no longer exists and has become the current Binjiang Maritime Bureau. If Han Yu didn't mention it, Secretary Liu really couldn't remember that the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau had done something with a worse impact before.

The superior was waiting for the results of the investigation and called to ask just ten minutes ago.

Secretary Liu frowned and asked, "They refuse to speak, what should we do now?"

"Secretary Liu, how about we split up into two groups? You and Director Yang continue to ask questions, focusing on the process of their boarding inspection that day. The more detailed the better. I, Political Commissar Dong, Director Huang, and Xiaoyu will check the dock surveillance, and by the way, ask the comrades from the customs and border inspection who boarded the ship for inspection that day."

"Director Han, you mean that the two thousand dollars may not have been received by our maritime department!"

"Secretary Liu, I want to see if I can collect some valuable clues through interviews and inquiries, but what you said just now makes sense. In the eyes of foreigners, we Chinese look similar, and it is difficult for them to distinguish who is who, and they may not know the difference between maritime, customs, and border inspection."

It would be great if the two thousand dollars were received by people from other units!

Secretary Liu became more and more excited as he thought about it, and said anxiously: "Director Han, this is a problem for you. Go and check it quickly and check it carefully."

"Secretary Liu, don't worry. Since the superiors have ordered us to assist you in the investigation, we will definitely do our best to get to the bottom of it."

"Okay, Lao Yang, Xiao Sun and I will continue to ask questions. You go and investigate quickly. If you find any clues, call me in time."

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Han Yu rushed to the Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau, found the eldest brother, closed the door and briefly reported the situation.

Thinking that the two thousand dollars might have been received by customs law enforcement officers, Xu Mingyuan broke out in a cold sweat and immediately called Director Li to report. Because it was the customs officers who boarded the ship for inspection that day, not the police officers of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau.

No one wants the problem to happen in their own unit. In order to know the situation, the Customs Discipline Inspection Commission immediately took action, urgently recalled the customs officers who boarded the ship for inspection that day, and transferred police officers from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau to assist the Customs Discipline Inspection Commission in self-inspection.

Han Yu rushed to the border inspection station to find "Yidianhong" and briefly reported the situation. Li Jun was also restless and asked Secretary Ji W to organize a self-examination.

At 6 pm, Han Xiangning took the commuter bus home. Seeing that Han Yu had not returned yet, he wanted to go to the bureau to see what was going on, but he felt it was inappropriate. He also felt it was inappropriate to call Han Yu. He simply called Zhang Lan's cell phone to ask if she had returned home to cook.

It's boring to eat alone at home, so it's better to go to the senior brother's house for a meal.

Unexpectedly, after a few words on the phone, Zhang Lan complained in a mysterious way: "Something big happened. How can I have the mood and time to go back to cook? I was going to call you and ask you to pick up Yuanyuan from school later."

"What happened?" Han Xiangning asked subconsciously.

"You don't know?"

"I'm at the construction site every day. I just came back. What do I know?"

"The captain of a foreign ship said that when it docked at Binjiang Port to unload last month, your Maritime Safety Administration asked them for two thousand dollars. They paid the money, but you still detained the ship. They complained to the China Maritime Safety Administration through the Bahamas government and the Bahamas Shipowners Association. Your Xianyu is investigating with the investigation team of the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Administration!"

Han Xiangning used to be the section chief of the security inspection department. She couldn't believe that her old colleagues in the security inspection department would do such a thing. After being stunned for a while, she asked doubtfully: "But what does this have to do with your customs?"

"Your Xianyu said that the two thousand dollars were not necessarily collected by people from your Maritime Safety Administration. From the perspective of foreigners, our uniforms are all similar. There were also people from the border inspection and our customs who boarded the ship that day."

"So you are also investigating!"

"Everyone who boarded the ship that day is now being questioned by the Discipline Inspection Commission. It's not just our customs, but also the 'Yidianhong' side. I don't know how many people can't sleep tonight."

"But what does this have to do with you? You are in charge of logistics, and you didn't get on the ship for inspection."

"I just can't get off work because I have to be responsible for logistics. The people from the Discipline Inspection Commission and those who were on the boat that day haven't eaten yet. Mingyuan is also upstairs with the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission to interrogate the people who were on the boat that day. I have to wait for them to ask You can’t go home until you’re done.”

"Okay, I'll pick up Yuanyuan for you later."

The Maritime Safety Bureau is different from the Changhang Shipping Branch. The Maritime Safety Bureau manages both ships and crews, and it is a huge organization. Including several maritime departments, there are more than 200 cadres and employees in total. Although it cannot be said that it is normal to have a few bad apples, it is not a particularly rare thing.

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

Han Xiangning simply didn't think about it anymore, changed her clothes, went downstairs and drove Lao Ge's scooter to help Zhang Lan pick up the children from school.

8:24 p.m.

Han Yu, Political Commissar Dong, Huang Junming and Xiaoyu returned to Langshan after a busy afternoon. As soon as they saw Secretary Liu and Yang Chu, who still found nothing, Xu Mingyuan and Li Jun also arrived in a hurry.

The living room in "General Building" is a bit small, so it is not suitable for meetings in "General Building".

Everyone came to the former reserve coastal defense regiment camp and held a "case analysis meeting" using the conference room of the Water Anti-Smuggling Division.

After Han Yu introduced the identities of senior brother and "Yidianhong", he took out the materials from the briefcase and asked solemnly: "Secretary Liu, what did Liu Yu and the others say?"

"No matter how you ask, you just won't admit it."

"During the boarding inspection, can the three people's stories be correct?"

"Yes, there is no contradiction." Secretary Liu looked at Xu Mingyuan and Li Jun, then added after thinking: "In order to verify what they explained, I asked Chu Xufeng to board Liu Yu and the three of them for inspection this afternoon. The diary was sent, and it matches everything they told me.”

What is needed now is self-proven innocence.

Xu Mingyuan didn't want the customs to take the blame in a daze, so he said slowly and calmly before Han Yu could speak: "Secretary Liu, our Customs Party Committee attaches great importance to the situation reported by the Han Bureau. This afternoon, our Anti-Smuggling Bureau assisted the Discipline Inspection Commission in inspecting the four items that were inspected that day. Comrades conducted an investigation. Now I can responsibly tell you that our four comrades at the customs did not accept bribes from the captain of the foreign ship, let alone ask for bribes!"

Li Jun put out his cigarette butt, raised his head and said, "It's the same with our border inspection station. If someone at our border inspection station collects two thousand dollars from someone else, I, the station manager, will be fully responsible!"

A deputy commissioner of customs and director of anti-smuggling at the division level, and a frontier inspection station chief at the regiment level, spoke loudly and proved their innocence. Secretary Liu felt somewhat disappointed.

Because it was not done by members of the two families, it could only be done by the law enforcement officers of the Maritime Safety Administration.

The more Secretary Liu thought about it, the more anxious he became. He furrowed his brows and said, "The problem now is that Liu Yu and the others refused to admit it. They even took the initiative to ask for a polygraph test, saying that the Binjiang Public Security Bureau had polygraph technology. They also took the initiative to ask us to conduct a search." Go check their bank account to see if they have two thousand dollars."

Xu Mingyuan was eager to clear up the relationship. After all, the matter was not investigated for a day, and the customs could not escape suspicion for a day. He said without hesitation: "Then take a test. Binjiang City Bureau does have a polygraph and there are experts in polygraph."

"Really?" Li Jun heard this for the first time and found it a bit incredible.

Xu Mingyuan lit the smoke and said, "It's true. If you don't believe it, just ask Xianyu."

Han Yu sighed softly and confirmed: "It has been known for a long time. The 'Han Strike' was carried out when we were in Binjiang. The polygraph expert Su, Chief of Staff, should know her. She is the daughter of the old commander of the Binjiang Military Division. She used to be with the 'Han Strike' He has served as a member of the team and is now the political commissar of the technical reconnaissance detachment.”

Xiaoyu felt that there was no need to go to such trouble. He hesitated and said, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to investigate. Anyone who reports it can just ask whoever it is."

"We also wanted to ask, but we couldn't get in touch. I don't know where the ship was drifting. We were able to get in touch with the ship owner, but he didn't understand the situation and was unwilling to help us investigate and open up international long distance calls. We just started talking. After a few words, they gave us a phone number and asked us to contact his lawyer.”

Secretary Liu paused and then said helplessly: "For the ship owner, two thousand US dollars is really not money. The main reason why he complained was that he was dissatisfied with us for stranding their ship."

"That ship does have defects, and the decision to detain it complies with relevant laws and regulations." Han Yu said while looking through the materials.

"What should we do now? You can't let us suffer unjust injustice with you." Li Jun took out his mobile phone and looked at it, complaining: "When something like this happens, we must report it to our superiors. The leaders of the main station attach great importance to it. Come on. Call me before tomorrow and let us help you get to the bottom of it. If you still can’t find any clues before noon tomorrow, the head office leader will personally investigate.”

Xu Mingyuan also believed that this matter cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the worse the impact will be. He suggested: "Secretary Liu, didn't Liu Yu and the others take the initiative to take a polygraph test? Then arrange for them to take a polygraph test!"

Secretary Liu really didn't want to alert the local police, but now he had no other choice but to look at Han Yu.

Family scandals should not be made public.

Matters concerning the vertical management unit should be handled by the vertical management unit itself. It would be even more embarrassing if the local police were alerted.

Han Yu weighed it up and said thoughtfully: "Stationmaster Li, I have read your boarding approval record and checked the surveillance video of the terminal. I found that it was not just law enforcement officers from the Maritime Safety Administration and Customs who boarded the ship that afternoon. The officers and soldiers at your border inspection station, and the people from the shipping agency.”

"What does this have to do with agency?"

"The agent spends more time with the captain and first mate on the ship than the members of your family spend with the captain and first mate." Han Yu found a transcript of Liu Yu's questioning and continued: "After Liu Yu indicated that he would make a decision to detain the ship, he communicated with the captain alone on the bridge for nearly ten minutes, and then ran over to help the captain intercede with Liu Yu. After being rejected by Liu Yu, he ran to find the captain. Very soon It’s hard to say whether he went behind Liu Yu’s back and used Liu Yu’s guise to ask for bribes during this period.”

"Liu Yu said he would stay, but his intercession was useless. He probably didn't dare to ask for money. After all, he had to do things for others after taking the money."

"Detention cannot be decided by Liu Yu alone. Detention will delay the shipping schedule and cause economic losses to the shipowner. Such a decision must go through layers of approval. Maybe the agent thinks there is room for operation, or even feels lucky. The Maritime Safety Administration may not actually make a detention decision.”

"Since the agent is also suspected of soliciting bribes, let's go ask him."

"Stationmaster Li, your border inspection should have his contact information. You can call and arrange for someone to check."

"OK."

Just to find out who took the two thousand US dollars actually alarmed a deputy bureau-level leader of the Maritime Safety Administration, a deputy director of customs and director of customs anti-smuggling, and a regimental-level border inspection station director...if you count salted fish and Commissar Dong, as well as two policemen in white shirts.

Huang Junming felt that everything was so unreal, and stood up and said: "Bureau Han, how about Xiaoyu and I go back to the city first. Stationmaster Li can find out the contact information of the agent and find out where the agent is. Then Xiaoyu and I will go Ask him."

Soldiers are very fast, and Han Yu didn't want this to affect the work of the branch. He raised his head and said, "That's okay. Pay attention to safety on the road."
