Riverside police

At eight o'clock in the morning, Han Xiangning had just walked to the barge and was about to ask old Jia San'er where she was when Chen Zikun came over with a couple in their forties.

"Jiao Chen, these two are..."

"Han Da, you are here just in time."

Chen Zikun turned around and introduced: "Boss Tang, this is Deputy Captain Han Xiangning of the Third Patrol Law Enforcement Brigade of Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau. That ship was discovered by comrades from the Port Supervision Bureau. Your hometown Port Supervision Bureau is also Han Xiangning. related."

Boss Tang didn't expect that the deputy captain of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau was so young and so beautiful, and he was stunned for a moment.

Boss Tang's lover said eagerly: "Captain Han, the boat you are talking about must belong to my family. Where is the boat? Can you let us go and see it?"

Han Xiangning realized why the two couples were here, and subconsciously asked: "Your boat was lost?"

"Yes, it was stolen!"

"When was it stolen?"

"It was stolen during the Spring Festival. We parked the boat by the river and asked the old man who watched the cage net to keep an eye on it for us. But when we went back after the New Year, we found that the boat was gone!"

The ship being stolen has nothing to do with the Port Superintendent.

But in determining who owns a ship, the police are far less professional than port surveillance. After all, they have specializations in the art.

Han Xiangning invited Boss Tang and his wife, who had come from afar, into the duty room of the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority. While asking them to sit down, he asked: "Did you bring your certificates?"

"Bring it, I'll bring it all!"

Boss Tang hurriedly opened his travel bag and took out a lot of certificates.

Ship registration certificate, class certificate, health certificate, minimum safe manning certificate, safety inspection record book, insurance policy, etc.

Han Xiangning first checked the authenticity of the certificate, and after confirming that there was no problem, he opened the drawer, took out the records made by his junior students and Xiao Gong when they went to the shipyard for inspection, and shared the previously known data on ship type, ship size, main engine, and anchor windlass models with Boss Tang. Compare the data on the incoming ship certificate.

As expected, they are exactly the same.

Just to be sure, I asked a few more questions about the ship.

Boss Tang and his wife answered fluently.

Chen Zikun and Lao Jia realized that they were the real ship owners. They immediately brought pen and paper, asked about the situation in front of Han Xiangning, and took notes at the same time.

"Boss Tang, did you report the incident after you discovered that the boat was missing?"

"After reporting the crime, the people from the police station went to the river to have a look. They also made a note like this and asked us to go back and wait for news."

"It's been almost half a year, and they still haven't found a clue?"

"No, I went to the police station and asked several times. They first said they were investigating, and then they said the case had been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Brigade. We found the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and the person in charge of the case was a policeman named Yu. He said he was investigating, and also asked Let’s go home and wait for news.”

Chen Zikun asked: "Since they have opened a case and know that the boat may be sold to us, why don't they come together?"

Boss Tang was very disappointed with the police in his hometown and said without hesitation: "They don't know. It was the Port Supervision Station of our County Transportation Bureau that notified me. The director of the Port Supervision Station said that the ship might have been sold to Binjiang. As soon as we received the call I just bought a ticket and came here.”

This year, the country is carrying out a strict crackdown. Public security bureaus in various places are very busy and have crackdown missions. Of course, they must solve cases that have clues and are relatively easy to detect.

Ship theft is just like car theft. If it is stolen in this province, it is likely to be sold to another province. It is really not easy to check.

Chen Zikun didn't think the police in their hometown were incompetent, so he immediately changed the subject: "The ship disappeared. You must be wondering how it disappeared. Have you ever suspected who did it?"

Boss Tang was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Boss Tang's wife was anxious to retrieve the boat worth more than one million yuan, and said without thinking: "We suspect that Zhao Xijiu did it, but we have no evidence."

Zhao Xijiu!

Chen Zikun was happy.

Lao Jia put down his pen and subconsciously raised his head.

Han Xiangning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had heard this name from his junior classmate.

"Boss Tang, who is Zhao Xijiu and how old is he?"

"Zhao Xijiu...Zhao Xijiu is a worker who worked on my boat. This year...he seems to be thirty-two years old after the Chinese New Year."

Chen Zikun asked while the iron was hot: "Where is he from?"

Boss Tang raised his head and said, "Jianfu people are not far from our hometown. There are many people running boats there."

"How did you think of doubting him?"

"Because of the salary issue, it's a bit contradictory."

"To be more specific, what is the contradiction?"

"We agreed to settle with him for one thousand and eighty yuan a month at the beginning, but he didn't work well on the ship. Business was not good last year, so we settled with him for one thousand yuan a month. He insisted on paying one thousand and eighty yuan a month. Well, we got into a fight later..."

If you don't calculate wages with others as agreed, they will definitely be dissatisfied, so they will steal your boat and sell it!

Chen Zikun was completely convinced and didn't know what to say to them. Lao Jia took over the conversation and asked calmly: "Have you reported this situation to your hometown police station and criminal investigation brigade?"

"They responded and took notes."

"Then, it's impossible for them not to investigate such an important clue, or not to follow up?"

"They looked for Zhao Xijiu, but they couldn't find him. Zhao Xijiu was not at home. They didn't know which boat he got on or where he was."

"What does Zhao Xijiu look like?"

"Tall and thin, with a long face. He is obviously a part-time worker. He stays on the boat all day long. He also likes to dress up and wear his hair in a small part. He is very cool."

It’s exactly the same as what the owner of Changyu Ship Repairing Plant described.

Lao Jia thought about it and asked, "Who does Zhao Xijiu get along better with?"

Boss Tang was asked again. Boss Tang's wife thought hard for a moment and shook her head: "Jia Gongan, we are boat owners. We are on the boat every day. I really don't know who he gets along with."

People who run boats live all over the world, and it is rare for them to get together with relatives and friends. It is indeed not easy to understand Zhao Xijiu's social relationships from them.

Lao Jia realized that there would be nothing to gain from further questioning, so he asked them to sign and fingerprint the transcript, and then asked Chen Zikun to take the couple to Changyu Ship Repair Factory to see that the main windlass had been removed, and even the driver A ship with its cabin roof removed.

…

Han Yu slept for a few hours. He had just taken over from deputy detachment leader Qian to understand the situation of each group through the phone and radio. He was busy marking the location of the suspected ship on the map when he received another call from Lao Jia.

"Zhao Xijiu had a grudge against Zhao Xijiu for depriving him of his salary, so he took advantage of the fact that the couple went home for the New Year and there was no one on board, and together with others, they drove the ship to Binjiang and sold it to Changyu Ship Repair Factory for dismantling?"

"That's how it should be."

Lao Jia opened the back window of the conference room, looked at Boss Tang and his wife who had just landed, and then said: "Yuzhi, this case is not complicated. The problem now is that their hometown Public Security Bureau has already opened the case. Our colleagues in Zhejiang do not know where the ship is for the time being. We are here, but we will know soon, what if someone comes looking for us?"

Han Yu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If people know about it, they will definitely come here."

Lao Jia also thought so and asked, "After they come here, can we hand it over?"

"The transfer is not that easy. Don't say we won't agree. Even if we agree, Political Commissar He Jujiang and Political Commissar Peng Juwang will not agree."

"But they filed the case first, and the boat was indeed stolen in their jurisdiction. According to regulations, they have jurisdiction."

"The ship is with us, we solved the case, and we still have jurisdiction."

"The key is that we only roughly understand the ins and outs of the case. The case has not really been solved. We don't know where the two suspects are hiding. It's not easy to catch them in this country."

The implication of Comrade Lao Jia's words could not be clearer.

By handing the case over to our counterparts in Zhejiang and Hainan, we don't have to worry about chasing and fleeing, and the results will still be counted, but the results won't be as big as a complete crackdown.

Superiors attach great importance to the case detection rate, and the case cannot be closed until the suspect is arrested.

If they are not handed over, they will have to organize forces to pursue them. And we don’t know when the two suspects will be captured and brought to justice. We don’t even know how much manpower and financial resources will be invested.

Thinking of this, Han Yu realized that if he wanted to report to the leaders of the two branches, there was a high probability that He Bureau and the others would just give it up and hand over the case to others. After all, they had seized "stolen goods worth nearly one million yuan". "It is also a problem to find out the identity of the criminals suspected of stealing the ship.

But Han Yu was a little unwilling to hand it over to others like this.

"Uncle Jia, isn't Shi Suo going crazy because he can't complete the strike mission? You call him and ask him if he is interested in this case. If you are interested, leave the job of chasing fugitives and recovering stolen goods to him."

"In your words, he was driven crazy. How could he not be interested?"

"Then leave it to him."

"But in this case, no one is responsible for the seizure or confiscation. Don't forget that Zhao Xijiu took away 200,000 yuan from Changyu Ship Repair Factory!"

"It's good that we gave him a chance to complete a task, but he still has the nerve to share the money with us?"

"Yuzhi, you are more familiar with him than I am. You should know what kind of person he is. He is thick-skinned, so he must be embarrassed."

"At this moment, he needs both money and the completion of the strike mission. But we can't be too stingy. You talk to him first and make it clear to him that this case is a joint investigation of our two families. If you can bring him with you, It’s already very difficult, and it’s impossible to split the money, but we can help him reimburse him for the travel expenses incurred in pursuing him.”

The competition among the seven district and county public security bureaus is much more intense than the competition between the security guards at the Port Authority and the Changhang Branch and Water Branch.

This is just a battle of spirits. To put it bluntly, it's a fight for reputation and face.

They not only want to save face, but also want to keep their black hat.

The municipal bureau conducted a "last-place elimination" for the seven district and county public security bureaus. The Linghai Public Security Bureau followed suit and conducted a "last-place elimination" for each police station and each brigade.

Thinking that Shi Shengyong had to compete with so many police stations and must prioritize completing the strike mission, or even exceeding the target limit, Lao Jia couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I'll call him right now."
