Riverside police

Late at night, the floating crane platform on the riverside in Shuzhou City is brightly lit.

Dock workers operate cranes to continuously load coal from seagoing ships into inland river freighters berthed inside.

The waters in this area are under the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau, and the Second Port Patrol Brigade has the right to supervise terminal operations and water traffic safety.

Xiaoyu stood on the supervision boat and took advantage of the inland river cargo ship's crew not paying attention. He just used a camera to take a picture of the pile in the cabin. Under the command of the dock dispatcher, the ship owner and crew untied the cable, started the main engine, and slowly drove away. Another cargo ship, which had been waiting at the anchorage for a long time, rumbled across the river and prepared to berth and load.

The pilot of the surveillance boat, Lao Wu, looked over and asked, "Xiaoyu, where are you going now?"

"Go back to sleep."

"sleep?"

Xiaoyu put down the camera, opened the door and walked into the cab. He yawned and said, "It will take three and a half hours at the fastest for the next boat to be filled. We can go back and take a nap, and then come back when it is almost full." "

When the Port Supervision and Administration Bureau encounters an emergency, such as launching a water rescue, it can mobilize ships within its jurisdiction.

Now that we are carrying out severe crackdowns on the water, the public security can also recruit the boats of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau.

This is how the old Wu Company and his boat were recruited by the Water Severity Command to participate in the operation. He was not completely ignorant of the case. He held the steering wheel and asked curiously: "Do you know where they plan to unload the coal?"

Xiaoyu turned around, looked behind him, and said lightly: "I know."

"How did you know?"

"I just went ashore and made a phone call."

Xiaoyu pulled up his chair and sat down, closed his eyes and yawned again, and said listlessly: "The unloading place is quite far away from here, on the Xingtai side. Xianyu said that the first boat had just started unloading, and his surname was Chen The woman also found a floating crane."

Lao Wu couldn't believe how brave the boat owner was, and asked in shock: "They just barge on the river without any scruples?"

"There are so many ships on the river. It's normal to load and unload cargo. Who would pay attention to them? Besides, it's night and not broad daylight."

"That's true."

…

Just as Xiaoyu said, a river freighter loaded with coal is anchored in a wide and uninhabited water area about 17 kilometers west of Xingtai Port. With the help of a small floating crane on the starboard side, it is busy floating to the A cargo ship of more than 1,000 tons on the outside of the ship is unloading coal.

The deck is brightly lit, otherwise the work cannot be seen.

For fear of being hit by a passing ship, all the light signals that should be displayed are also displayed.

The three boats leaning together were about 60 to 70 meters away from the channel and further from the shore, at least 200 meters away.

Because it is too far away, it is difficult to take a clear picture from the shore.

Luo Wenjiang, captain of the Fourth Marine Police Squadron in charge of collecting evidence, simply asked the provincial and Taiwanese staff to board a small cargo ship, install and adjust the shooting equipment, cover it with an oilcloth and only expose the lens, pretending not to be familiar with the waterway, and compare the three boats with the river embankment. Shallow water passes slowly.

The river is different from the shore. There are no traffic signs, only navigation lights and beacons.

For many small boats with a shallow draft of less than 100 tons, it really doesn't matter whether they can go through the channel or not.

The three boats and the people on them were busy and continued working as if they hadn't seen Luo Wenjiang's boat.

As the boat sailed through the "working waters", Luo Wenjiang asked eagerly: "Reporter Chen, did you take any pictures?"

"Caught it."

"Is the picture clear? Can you let me see it?"

"If you can see it, I know you are worried. I have brought all the equipment."

The staff of the provincial station used the cabin of the small cargo ship as a studio. They opened two aluminum alloy boxes, took out a small monitor like a monitor, connected them to the camera, connected the power supply, and played back the footage they had just captured.

Luo Wenjiang stared at the monitor for four minutes, raised his head and smiled: "I even took a picture of the name and number of the ship. This equipment is really advanced!"

"With hundreds of thousands of imported equipment, it is certainly advanced."

"Reporter Chen, you have helped us a lot this time. You guys need to sleep for a while. The conditions are so simple that we can only make beds on the floor in the cabin."

This time I came out not only to assist the police in handling cases, but also to help the unit generate income.

Reporter Chen felt that since he was here, he had to help the police get things done, so he asked, "Is it enough to have these four minutes of footage?"

Luo Wenjiang grinned and said: "That's enough, we just need to prove that they were stealing during the transit."

Reporter Chen thought about it and asked: "When will the next boat arrive?"

"The next boat won't arrive until dawn at the earliest."

"so slow?"

"The next boat is not only on the water, but also caught in the ebb tide. It is also fully loaded, and it can't go very fast even if the horsepower is maxed out."

"How many kilometers per hour can you walk?"

"When the tide is low, you can only drive three or four kilometers per hour at the fastest."

Reporter Chen didn’t expect the boat to be so busy sailing on the river. He turned off the monitor and asked, “Where are we going now?”

Luo Wenjiang took out the mobile phone sent by Han Yu in the afternoon and explained: "We just passed by them, so we can only continue walking forward, go up two or three kilometers, turn around, and go around the opposite channel to anchor downstream of them to rest. , wait until the next ship arrives and then collect evidence as before."

Reporter Chen asked worriedly: "Let's take a rest. What if we oversleep and miss the next boat?"

"Won't miss it."

Luo Wenjiang entered Han Yu's mobile phone number and said confidently: "We have people keeping an eye on the Binjiang waters. We also have people keeping an eye on the waters at the junction of Gaoru and Xingtai. Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau Traffic Management Center and Zhenjiang Port Supervision Bureau We also have colleagues monitoring the traffic control center through the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority’s VTS system.”

The police were confident that Reporter Chen had nothing to worry about. He packed up his equipment, walked over and took off his shoes, sat on the floor and said with a smile, "Then I'll take a nap first. This is my first time sleeping on a cargo ship."

"Sorry, the conditions are too difficult."

"It's okay, just experience life."

Luo Wenjiang settled the staff of the provincial department, climbed on the deck to the bow of the ship, dialed Han Yu's phone, and reported: "The fish branch was photographed, and the picture is very clear. However, considering that we could not alert the snake, only four were photographed. Minutes and a half.”

As the actual person in charge of the water crackdown operation, Han Yu must ensure that the suspected ships he has grasped cannot be out of sight, and at the same time, he must quickly find the whereabouts of the other two dozen ships suspected of stealing iron ore in the first half of the year.

Because of this, not only could I not rest, but I also rushed to the Traffic Control Center of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau and took control of the overall situation at the traffic control center.

Han Yu rubbed his eyes, held up his mobile phone and asked, "Did you take a picture of the ship's name and number?"

"Caught it."

"As long as it's taken, by the way, when do they estimate it will be unloaded?"

"The ship owner should not dare to steal too much, otherwise it will be easy to see. Including the time to sort out the pile, I estimate that it will be done in two hours at most."

Luo Wenjiang thought about it and then said: "Yuzhi, I left two people on the shore to watch them loading and unloading. Considering that Chen Xiaojuan's gang may sell the stolen goods nearby, you'd better arrange another boat for me, or let Ma Jintao's group come over .”

It is indeed possible for Chen Xiaojuan's gang to sell whatever they charge. After all, the more than 20 inland river cargo ships that transfer coal arrive at the "working waters" one after another, leaving a big gap in time.

Han Yu took out the cooling oil and smelled it. He felt much better than before, and said thoughtfully: "I am at the Port Supervision Bureau now. I have seen the navigation information provided by the Traffic Control Center. There are oil barges and tankers in our riverside waters almost every day. Even when the oil tanker was passing by, Ma Jintao and the others had been on guard for many days, and we cannot let them fail just because we needed people for this case."

"What should we do?"

Luo Wenjiang didn't want anything to go wrong on his side, so he said eagerly: "Yu Zhi, you know the situation on the water best. What will happen if Chen Xiaojuan's gang transfers stolen goods? If I go to keep an eye on it, I won't have a boat to collect evidence. If I don't keep an eye on it, how can I tie up the chain?" "

"Don't worry, it's just a boat, I'll figure it out."

"be quick!"

"I know."

The Port Supervision and Administration Bureau seized dozens of boats without drivers.

The problem is that those three-no boats have been parked on the riverside for who knows how long, and the machines cannot be used without maintenance.

Moreover, it takes several hours to get to the Luo Wen River from Binjiang Port. Water from afar cannot quench our thirst, and we don’t have enough time.

Han Yu weighed it up and immediately dialed Bureau Zhang's cell phone.

Zhang Junyan was busy from noon to 11 o'clock in the evening for the cloth bag formation. He was woken up by his cell phone ringing as soon as he lay down.

"Xianyu, is there something going on?"

"Zhang Ju, I'm sorry to wake you up so late."

"It's okay, what's going on?" Zhang Junyan knew very well that Xianyu wouldn't call at this time unless there was an emergency, so he sat up immediately.

"The thing is like this..." Han Yu briefly reported the situation on the Luo Wen River, and then said: "It's my fault that I didn't think about it before. It's definitely too late to transfer people and ships from Binjiang now, so I can only give it to you. Call up."

Zhang Junyan frowned and said, "It's too late for me to send people and ships over now!"

"Bureau Zhang, you are very familiar with the leaders of Zhenjiang Branch. Can you call the leaders of Zhenjiang Branch and ask them to help us find a boat nearby? We have people, and there are two comrades on the shore watching the boat. The gang is loading and unloading."

"It seems I can only ask them for help. OK, I'll call them right now."

"Zhang Ju, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter. You are responsible for more than just this case at the same time. It's normal for you to be too busy to think about it."

The water crackdown initiated by Xianyu was as unconventional as the several major operations led by Xu Sanye that year, completely breaking through the boundaries between units and jurisdictions.

In fact, only in this way can Jiang Shang's case be solved.

Zhang Junyan could imagine how stressed Xianyu was now, and he knew very well how tired Xianyu was. After thinking about it, he reminded him: "Xianyu, work is important, and your body is equally important. How can you do your work without a good body? So you must pay attention to rest. You can’t always stay up late.”

"I know, thank you Director Zhang for your concern."

"Please wait for my call about borrowing the boat."

"OK."

As soon as Han Yu hung up the phone, Lao Qian, the deputy detachment leader of the Public Security Detachment, who had been arranged by the branch to participate in the operation at the Traffic Control Center of the Port Supervision Bureau, came over. According to the reports of each team, he marked the location of the suspected ship on the map and said: "Salted fish, Leave this to me, and you can go next door and take a nap."

We were on board 001 last night. We had to watch nine suspects on the way back, so we didn't get a good rest.

I was so busy during the day that I didn't get any rest.

Han Yu couldn't bear it any longer. Not only was he very sleepy, but he was also dizzy. He yawned and said, "Wait a little longer. I'll go over and rest after Zhang Ju helps find the boat."
