Riverside police

At about 4:30 in the morning, the sky was still indigo, and the river was misty. One or two fishing fires were vaguely visible, leading small fishing boats through the fog, slowly cutting across the river and sailing into the distance.

Wang Xiaoshan, an auxiliary police officer of the Fourth Marine Police Squadron who had been squatting on the river embankment for two days and two nights, was tired and sleepy, but also very excited because Chen Xiaojuan's gang was unloading coal from the last ship on the river.

Team Luo's "evidence collection ship" and the "tracking ship" that the Changhang Zhenjiang Branch Yangzhou Police Station helped find the night before had collected the evidence an hour ago, sailed upstream, and then turned around upstream and started from the south side of the Yangtze River. The channel goes down the river and goes downstream to join the large force coming to collect the net.

The arrest operation was carried out on the river. Standing on the shore could not help. The only thing that could be done was to monitor.

He was just thinking about whether the criminals on the three ships would jump over the wall and swim upstream when they saw the large force. Huang Yuhua, who was squatting on the river embankment together, suddenly said: "No, how can they put the unloaded coal back to the cargo ship?" Tops!"

Wang Xiaoshan hurriedly took the telescope, adjusted the focus, and observed it carefully for a while. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Unloading hundreds of tons of coal will leave traces. They are sorting out the pile and restoring it to the way it was when it was first filled."

"The pile head can be restored, but how can the tonnage and load line be manipulated?"

"There should be ballast tanks that can be pumped for ballast."

"The ship has been modified?"

"should be."

"They're almost done, why haven't Yuzhi and Captain Luo arrived yet?"

"It should be there soon. There is a light over there. It might be Yuzhi and the others."

Huang Yuhua took the telescope, looked in the direction of Wang Xiaoshan's finger, and muttered: "It doesn't look like it. It looks like a fleet from the light."

Wang Xiaoshan smiled and asked: "How many boats?"

"One, two, three, four, four in total including the tractor."

"That's right, just wait and see the good show."

"What's right?"

"001 is the tug head, there is one boat for the Luo team, one boat for the Changhang Zhenjiang branch, and one boat for the cavalry team. There are four of them."

Four cargo ships, plus 001, are just a small fleet.

Huang Yuhua reacted and said with a smile: "It's good to pretend to be a fleet. They may not notice when we drive to the side."

As Wang Xiaoshan said, to ensure nothing went wrong, Han Yu asked four cargo ships to follow 001, pretending to be a small fleet on the water. But not only four cargo ships will be participating in the operation, but also two small speedboats from the Port Supervision Bureau and the Water Bureau.

Arresting on the water is different from arresting on the shore. It is difficult to say whether the criminals will jump into the river.

If he jumped into the river, he would be lucky if he could escape. If he was unlucky and drowned, he would be in trouble.

Han Yu stood by the guardrail outside the 001 cockpit, visually checked the distance between the fleet and the three "work boats", and then raised the intercom: "Attention, each group, attention, each group, the arrest operation will start in three minutes, with flares For the sake of trust, each group is asked to rush to the predetermined location quickly after seeing the signal."

"One group received, completed."

"The second group received it, the second group received it, it's over!"

"Three groups have received it, it's over!"

"Four groups received, completed!"

Han Yu looked back at the two speedboats sailing under the cover of the fleet outside the port side, and then said: "Wang Xiaoshan, Wang Xiaoshan, I, Han Yu, please answer when you receive it."

"Yuzhi Yuzhi, I am Wang Xiaoshan, please speak."

"We are about to launch an operation, please pay attention to the river."

"clear."

…

After following the police on the river for two days and two nights, they finally closed the net. Reporter Chen from the provincial station did not want to miss this opportunity, so he asked two colleagues to take out the equipment that had been packed and prepare to film the entire arrest process.

Seeing how busy they were, Han Ning reminded: "Reporter Chen, watch your steps later, don't fall into the river."

"Don't worry, we will pay attention."

As soon as Reporter Chen finished speaking, Han Yu walked down the ladder, glanced at Xiao Gong who was preparing rockets, and warned: "Sister, you have to be careful later."

Han Ning smiled slightly: "I know, I'll be fine."

In fact, she was not asked to come to tonight's operation. She insisted on participating.

It's not for show, it's mainly because there is a female suspect. If she doesn't come, it will be inconvenient to search her later.

Han Ning thought about how his siblings had joked before coming here that "sisters and brothers are of the same mind and can break gold." The bow of 001 had already sailed parallel to the stern of the coal ship.

Han Yu stood at the door of the command cabin, holding up a large speaker and ordering: "Launch!"

Xiao Gong squatted by the guardrail of the bow. He had already taken off the back cover of the rocket launcher. He clasped it with his left hand to expose the pull ring. He held the rocket in his right hand and placed it on the guardrail so that it pointed upward at a forty-five-degree angle.

Upon hearing Han Yu's order, he quickly pulled the match rope.

Just like setting off fireworks, only a sharp and piercing sound was heard. The rocket soared into the sky. When it reached the highest point of its trajectory, it exploded and burned, turning the dark night sky for nearly a mile around into day!

At the same time, Captain Fan tacitly turned on the police lights and sounded the siren.

The two speedboats were like arrows, pulling out two sprays of water from the port side of the fleet and rushing to the front. They started to circle around the "operating waters" like drawing circles on the river.

The captain was dumbfounded.

The boat owner's wife, who was cleaning up the pile, was so frightened that she dropped her shovel.

The captain and crew of the floating crane were stunned, and Chen Xiaojuan and other coal unloaders were at a loss.

"People on the boat, please pay attention. People on the boat, please pay attention. We are the Changhang Public Security Bureau. We are the Changhang Public Security Bureau. We are inspecting you now. Please cooperate!"

At the same time as Han Yu was shouting, three cargo ships participating in the operation slowly surrounded the water from the side of the river embankment.

The illumination rocket only stayed in the air for nine seconds, but as the searchlights came on one after another, not only did the river surface still look like daytime, but the ship owner, crew members, Chen Xiaojuan and others could not open their eyes.

The man who had been to Bailonggang anchorage with Chen Xiaojuan realized that the Dongchuang incident had occurred, quickly recovered, turned around and jumped into the river.

He has good water skills, and he can drill out more than ten meters with one powerful move!

However, Han Yu came prepared.

And no matter how good his water quality is, he can't be better than a small fish.

Xiaoyu was on the speedboat of the Water Bureau. Xiaoyu's job was to be on guard. When he saw a suspect diving, he immediately pointed in the direction where the suspect was swimming.

The pilot reacted, immediately adjusted his course and chased after him.

At the same time, the bow of 001 slowly approached the coal ship.

As soon as Xiao Gong put down the rocket launcher and was busy carrying the cable, Han Yu took the lead under the cover of Zhang Ping and was the first to climb onto the cargo ship.

"Don't move, we are the police, everyone, squat down!"

"Comrade Public Security, we are unloading..."

"Did you get permission from the cargo owner to unload the cargo? Where should this ship of coal be transported?"

This was a couple's boat. The owner was speechless. The owner's wife's legs were so frightened that she just collapsed on the coal pile.

Zhang Ping and Xiao Gong had already come up. Han Yu ignored the two thieving couples and crossed the cargo ship. Just as he jumped onto the floating crane, Ma Jintao and Luo Wenjiang's two boats also approached two Sanwu boats from the inside. Ships, outflanking from both directions from north to south.

Chen Xiaojuan did not expect to be surrounded by police on the river. She stood on the bow of the boat and was anxious.

She wanted to jump into the river and run away, but she didn't dare because she was not good at water.

At this moment, Luo Wenjiang jumped onto the bow of the boat and grabbed her: "Chen Xiaojuan, what are you thinking about?"

"ah……"

"Ah, what? We've been watching you for a long time. Turn around and be honest!"

Chen Xiaojuan was handcuffed behind her back, and another man with Chen Xiaojuan was also pushed down on the coal pile by the police.

The owner of the floating crane was so frightened that he said anxiously: "Comrade police, it's none of my business. I'm the one they load and unload."

"There are so many cargo ships on the river. Who asked you to help unload the cargo? You just help unload it?"

"Comrade Public Security, please listen to my explanation. I'm really just working. Besides, it's not like there's no one on the boat. The boss of the boat asked me to unload..."

"Now is not the time for explanations. We will find out whether it is none of your business."

After unloading, a few tons have to be loaded back to help restore the pile. Even a fool knows that there is something wrong with the unloaded coal.

Han Yu didn't think he was really ignorant and handcuffed him without hesitation.

Just as he was about to pull out the walkie-talkie and ask Xiaoyu what was going on over there, the speedboat from the Water Branch came over and leaned against the outside of Luo Wenjiang's evidence collection boat.

Xiaoyu, like a drowned rat, escorted another suspect, who looked like a drowned rat, onto the boat.

"They say you have been surrounded, and you still want to jump into the river. Can you escape without fear of drowning!" After actually taking a bath in the river, Xiaoyu felt depressed and couldn't help but give the arrested suspect a try.

The reporter from the provincial station is filming, and the case must be handled in a civilized manner.

Han Yu coughed quickly and turned around: "Team Luo, hurry up and organize an interrogation. Team Cavalry, check these two three-no ships and estimate how many tons of coal they contain."

"yes!"

"Team Zhang, check the signal patterns of each ship and remind passing ships to pay attention and avoid it."

"clear."

"Xiaoyu, I have a set of clean clothes on 001. You should quickly change into them. Don't catch a cold."

"OK."

Han Yu wanted to interrogate Chen Xiaojuan, but now was not the time.

He quickly looked around and confirmed that all the suspects had been arrested, then walked quickly to the bow of the ship, took out his mobile phone and called Bureau He and Bureau Zhang to report, and then notified the teams waiting for arrest in the field to close the net.

Every place has its own wedding and funeral customs.

In Linghai, if someone in the family dies, they are usually buried during the day.

The target Fang Zhiqiang wanted to arrest was attending the funeral of his recently deceased father in the early hours of the morning.

I don’t know if funeral reforms have not been implemented here or if the management is not strict enough. People here are still buried when they die.

Before dawn, the funeral procession set off with great fanfare.

There were fifty or sixty people in total, including monks, Taoists, filial sons and grandsons, relatives and friends. There were also many villagers who heard the sound of drums before dawn and came out to watch the fun.

Fang Zhiqiang and Xiao Chen, together with their colleagues from the local police station, mingled with the crowd of spectators and watched from a distance as the funeral procession stopped in a crop field.

The order to close the net has been received and can be arrested at any time.

Xiao Chen asked in a low voice in his hometown dialect: "Team Fang, are you going to arrest me?"

With the help of local colleagues, we don’t have to worry about the suspect’s family, relatives and friends being obstructed.

But a hole is being dug ahead, and the coffin will be buried later, and the target to be arrested is the eldest son of the deceased...

The law is nothing more than human kindness.

Fang Zhiqiang weighed it up and said calmly: "Wait a moment, wait until the funeral is over."
