Riverside police

In order to crack down on criminals who destroy navigation beacons, the Maritime Police and the Changhang Navigation Police have organized dozens of ambushes in the waters of the Yangtze Estuary over the past three years.

Every time they failed, and the light buoys were frequently destroyed, the comrades held their breath. Now that they finally found the target, you can imagine how excited they were.

The third group was led by Xie Youdong, captain of the Public Security Detachment of the Maritime Public Security Bureau. According to the previously formulated plan and the information provided by the traffic control center, he directed the coast patrol boat with the lights to be turned off to quietly approach the designated waters, and stood on the bow of the boat to pass through in the rain. Using a telescope with an infrared night vision function, I could vaguely see a small ship with only a faint red light.

"Han Bureau Han Bureau, I am Xie Youdong, we have found the target!"

"Report location!"

"In the waters of the No. 6 light buoy, there is a small boat about 12 meters long, sailing from south to north towards the No. 7 light buoy."

"How far are you from your target?"

"About 4 kilometers."

"Has the target spotted you?"

"should not."

"Get close quietly and don't alert the enemy before reinforcements arrive."

"clear."

The Yangtze River Estuary is so wide, and the containment on the water is different from that on the shore. Moreover, it is in the dark night. If you do not wait for the law enforcement boats of each ambush group to surround you, act rashly, it is very likely that the target will escape.

After Han Yu issued the order, he immediately adjusted the frequency to contact the traffic control center and asked the traffic control center to help formulate a containment plan. Because the traffic control center has radar and a VTS system, it knows the situation in the water area where the crime occurred better than the police officers on the front line. At the same time, the captain was ordered to adjust the course and rush to the target waters as quickly as possible.

Xie Youdong was worried about alerting the people on the suspect ship, so he asked the captain of the coast guard boat to adjust the course and go around to the leeward of the suspect ship.

After chasing against the wind for about 10 minutes, you can clearly see with the naked eye that the No. 7 buoy light went out!

The water area in this area is the main channel for large ships to enter and leave the Yangtze River. In normal times, Xie Youdong would be very anxious if the light buoy was damaged, and would report it to the traffic control center as soon as possible. The traffic control center would also contact the navigation mark authority to repair it in time. Ensure safe navigation of ships.

However, today is no ordinary day.

Xie Youdong was so excited that he held up the intercom and shouted: "Han Bureau, the No. 7 buoy light stopped flashing! Now we can confirm that the boat in front of us is a pirate ship!"

If the No. 6 light buoy does not flash, it may be a malfunction.

The No. 6 light buoy just went out, and the No. 7 light buoy stopped flashing immediately. What does this mean?

Han Yu was equally excited. He looked at the radar on the bridge and confirmed that although the encirclement was not very tight, each group had basically arrived at the designated water area. He weighed the order and said: "Every group, pay attention, every group, I am Han Yu." , I order you to take action immediately and search and contain the suspicious ships in the waters of No. 7 light buoy as quickly as possible!”

"yes!"

"Be safe when moving."

"clear."

Xie Youdong put down the walkie-talkie and signaled the captain to pursue as quickly as possible.

As soon as the captain asked Lao Gui to increase the power, Xiao Sun, the policeman from the security detachment in charge of the observation, put down his binoculars and said with a grimace: "Thank you, the target is gone!"

"Gone?"

"In the blink of an eye, it's gone."

"What happened? How could you let things slip at the critical moment?"

Xie Youdong was so anxious that he immediately took the telescope and started searching on the river. But the more he looked, the more anxious he became. The boat that was vaguely visible through the telescope just now was really gone.

After receiving the report, Han Yu was silent for a moment, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, keep searching, they will definitely not be able to escape!"

"yes."

At this time, the call from Shen Yizhe, the instructor of the Wusong Police Station in charge of the second group, came over the intercom: "Han Bureau, Han Bureau, this is Shen Yizhe. We have searched the waters near the No. 8 light buoy and found a small boat about 12 meters long. Moored next to the No. 8 light buoy, its characteristics are consistent with what Xie Zhi has seen before! "

"Lean in and take action!"

"yes!"

As soon as Shen Yizhe finished speaking, Lao Liang, a policeman from the second group who was looking out at the bow of the boat, shouted anxiously: "Master Shen, the people on the boat discovered us. They threw two heavy-looking things into the river!"

"It must be the battery!"

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Shen Yizhe did not dare to waste a moment. He turned around and ordered: "Captain Liu, turn on the police lights, sound the siren, and increase the power."

"OK."

"Jiao Shen, they started the machine quickly and turned around to head towards Changxing Island!" Lao Liang shouted, holding a telescope and staring at the suspected ship.

"Chase!" Shen Yizhe put down the walkie-talkie, opened the driver's cab door and walked to the bow of the ship holding on to the railing, and prepared to join the gang with his comrades.

After receiving the report from the second team, Han Yu immediately adjusted the plan and ordered several groups of police officers involved in the operation to quickly launch an outflank.

At 22:27, the second group of coast guard boats successfully caught up with the suspect ship.

Considering that Lao Liang was old, Shen Yizhe asked Lao Liang to go to the bridge to shout. The people on the boat saw law enforcement boats in front, back, left and right. The closest one was only six or seven meters away from them, and police lights could be vaguely seen in the distance. They realized that they could not escape, so they could only stop the fire and stop the boat according to Lao Liang's order.

The moment the coast patrol boat approached the boat, Shen Yizhe held his pistol tightly and personally led the three police officers to jump onto the boat.

"Don't move. Squat down for me."

"Hold your head with your hands!"

"What about you, did you hear me?"

"Comrade Public Security, what are you doing?" A man in his thirties asked anxiously, holding his head in his hands.

"You still have the nerve to ask us what we do, I want to ask you what you did just now!" Shen Yizhe and other sea patrol boat crew members came to take over the cab, and then grabbed the man in his thirties, stared at him and asked with gritted teeth.

"We didn't do anything."

"We didn't do anything, and you still dare to be stubborn with me. Tell me honestly, what did you throw into the river just now?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Shen Yizhe became more and more angry, and he couldn't help but slap him and scolded: "We not only saw it clearly just now, but also filmed it with a camera, and have notified the relevant departments to salvage in the waters of the No. 8 light buoy. The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble with me, what do you think we do?"

It was filmed with a camera...

The man in his thirties saw that the last public security officer on the boat was really holding a small camera, and he was unsure and dared not quibble anymore.

There were three people on the boat, all of them were taken to the sea patrol boat and interrogated separately!

When Han Yu arrived, the crew member with the worst psychological quality had already confessed to the crime of stealing navigation light batteries, and admitted that tonight was not the first time he committed the crime, and he had participated in theft three times before.

At 3:45 a.m., the participating boats and personnel returned safely to the Wusong Maritime Affairs Office Wharf.

Compared with the murder, arson, poisoning and other cases investigated by local public security, the current arrests tonight are not really a big case, but they are of great significance to the port and shipping public security. Because in the past three years, the light buoys in the waters of the Yangtze River Estuary have been frequently destroyed and navigation light batteries have been frequently stolen. The maritime public security and the Changhang public security have tried every means but failed to crack them.

Political Commissar Bi, who was in charge of the bureau, came overnight.

He Bin, director of the Changhang East China Sea Branch, also hurried over.

Even Deputy Director Liu of the Maritime Bureau and Director Yang of the Navigation Department came in person.

Han Yu asked his old and current leaders to go to the meeting room of the Maritime Affairs Office to rest first, while he personally interrogated with the police officers in charge of the case until dawn, and then knocked on the door of the meeting room to report the situation to Director Liu and the old leader.

"Xianyu, have all three suspects confessed?"

"Yes."

Han Yu did not bring a transcript with him, but he took notes during the interrogation. He put down his notebook and yawned and said, "The main culprit's surname is Tang, Tang Yide, 33 years old this year, from Dongqi, with junior high school education, and a crew certificate. He used to work on a fishing boat, but later he felt that working on a fishing boat was too hard, so he switched to working on an inland cargo ship.

According to his account, an inland cargo ship he had been on before crashed into a light buoy while sailing at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Not only did the owner not take the initiative to report to the traffic control department, but he removed the battery of the light buoy and took it away to sell. Since then, he has been eyeing the battery of the beacon light. From February last year to this night, he was arrested. He has committed crimes 6 times and stolen 43 beacon light batteries."

A small gang caused such great damage!

Director Liu became more and more angry, rubbing his eyes and asking: "Do you know the name and number of the ship he worked on before?"

"Yes, he confessed." Han Yu could understand Director Liu's feelings and continued to report: "We were helpless before, mainly because we couldn't find a breakthrough. Now that the breakthrough has been made, we will dig deep and investigate thoroughly. Whether it is someone who crashed into the light buoy or stole the light buoy, every one of them will be severely investigated. For those suspects who dare to receive and sell stolen goods, we will also severely crack down on them!"

"We need to set up a special task force, Xianyu, I know you have handled real big cases before , but this series of cases of destroying aids to navigation facilities is a major case for our maritime affairs. You must personally serve as the head of the special case team and must investigate this series of cases of destroying aids to navigation facilities as soon as possible. "

"Don't worry, Director Liu, I will personally organize the investigation."

"Director He, what about your Changhang Public Security?"

"Joint investigation, I will select elite soldiers to join the special case team, and I can serve as the deputy head of the special case team."

"Thank you."

"It's not a thank you, after all, the Yangtze River Estuary is also our jurisdiction."

In terms of police officers handling cases, the maritime public security has neither as many nor as professional as the Changhang Public Security. If the old unit does not help, Han Yu can only ask for help from the Donghai Port Public Security Bureau.

Facts have proved that the old unit and the old unit leaders are very powerful, and Han Yu is very moved.

Thinking that arresting three suspects was just the beginning, Han Yu hurriedly said: "Director Liu, we need evidence to handle cases. If there are only confessions but no physical evidence, it will be more troublesome to transfer the case in the future."

Director Liu asked without hesitation: "What do you need me to do?"

Han Yu said embarrassedly: "The three suspects threw the two navigation light batteries stolen tonight into the river, in the No. 8 floating area. If possible, I would like to ask you to help us communicate and coordinate with the salvage department to salvage the two batteries as soon as possible. If it is too late, we may not be able to salvage them."

The Yangtze River estuary is heavily silted, and it is not easy to salvage two batteries at the Yangtze River estuary.

Director Liu was silent for a moment, then resolutely said, "Okay, I'll help you coordinate, and you don't need to worry about the salvage costs, but I can't guarantee that it can be salvaged."

Han Yu was about to speak, and He Bin asked with a smile, "Xianyu, why don't you call Director Jian and ask him if he can get the commando divers back to participate in the salvage."

It's hard to make a solid case without physical evidence, and the salvage of physical evidence cannot rely solely on the salvage department.

Since Director Liu has spoken, he will definitely arrange for the salvage department to salvage, but they will definitely not treat it as their own business, or they will be affected by the salvage environment and salvage as much as possible. If someone from their own team joins, the success rate of the salvage will obviously double.

Han Yu felt that what the old leader said made sense, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call Director Jian later. Although the capital's Olympic security is important, the capital is neither near the river nor the sea, and police officers who are good at diving can't play a big role there."
