At 4:27 p.m., Coast Guard boat 3201 arrived in the waters north of She Island, and according to orders from superiors, began to search for two fishing boats suspected of organizing illegal immigrants.

Coast Guard Boat 3201 is affiliated to the Coast Guard Brigade of the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department Border Guard Corps, which is based in Liuhe, Dacang.

The Coast Guard Group's unit establishment is not large, its level is not high, and its equipment is not very advanced. There are only two boats that can go to sea for law enforcement, including boat 3021, and they are all offshore patrol boats retired from the navy, but they have to govern more than a thousand kilometers of coastline in Jiangnan Province!

Since another boat was undergoing overhaul, only boat 3201 was dispatched this time.

Illegal fishing of eel fry is not only found in the Yangtze River, but also at sea.

The Coast Guard Brigade participates in operations against illegal fishing of eel fry every year, especially to ensure the smooth flow of the Yangtze River estuary waters. I have had several interactions with the former Yanjiang Police Station of the Linghai Public Security Bureau and the current Bailonggang Police Station of the Changhang Branch.

Captain Pei stared at the radar screen closely, remembering that Han Yu had called in the twelfth month of last year to mention that criminals wanted to organize smuggling, so he picked up the high-frequency radio's intercom, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he shouted: "Salted fish, salted fish! I am Okura Lao Pei, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it!"

Three hours ago, the instructor staying at the base sent a telegram confirming that the typhoon had landed in Dongguang. Even if it turned, it would not be able to hit the Binjiang sea area, but it would still have an impact on the Binjiang sea area.

The wind and waves on the sea were very strong, and the wind force reached level 6.

Such sea conditions had little impact on the navigation of the 10,000-ton cargo ship, but it had a significant impact on the patrol boat. The boat was constantly lifted up by the swells, and then fell heavily. The waves were more than a foot high and kept beating the cab glass. .

The bad weather also affected the communication range of the high-frequency radio station. After shouting four or five times in a row, there was finally a response from the radio station.

"Brother Pei, Brother Pei, I'm a salty fish. There's a typhoon blowing outside. Are you going to sea too?"

"Asking knowingly."

Pei laughed loudly and cursed, leaned over and looked at the radar screen and said with a smile: "The typhoon has gone to Dongguang, so of course we have to go to sea. The ship is full of goods. If the goods are not transported to the place quickly, the company will not be able to earn freight, and there will be no Money pays our wages.”

A high-frequency radio station is being used and can be heard by many ships.

Han Yu couldn't explain clearly when it came to the mission, so he could only smile and ask: "Are there many ships leaving the port?"

Just as Pei D was about to speak, he heard a crew member from nowhere interjecting: "Scan the radar around and there are all ships on the sea! Brother, are you a domestic trade ship or a foreign trade ship? Where are you going?"

"The sea is full of ships, why can't I see them? Where are you?"

"We just came out of the Bei Cao Channel. We didn't even need to look at the radar. There were two foreign trade ships in front of us!"

…

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the chat at sea began again.

The accent comes from all over the world, and the radio station is so lively.

Han Yu took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Pei, brother Pei, where are you?"

"East longitude one-two-two point two-five-nine, north latitude three one-point seven-five, heading due north."

"So you can't catch up with us. We are ahead of you, at least half a day's flight away."

Han Yu picked up a pen and ruler and marked Pei Da's current position on the chart without asking about the speed. Because the speed of the patrol boat is faster than that of the cargo ship, you can't tell Pei Da if you ask him, otherwise your identity will be exposed.

Pei Da looked at the sea and asked: "Xianyu, my cousin from the East China Sea has also gone to sea. He originally went to the South Sea, but this time he went to the North Sea. Have you met them?"

"I didn't meet him. We chatted on the radio for a while at noon."

"What did he say? Where is he now?"

"They ran fast and got in front of me."

Han Yu raised his head and glanced at Xu Mingyuan and Fang Zhiqiang, and added: "They are traveling a short distance. If they are fast, they can return tonight."

Pei Da was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. He thought that his colleagues from the East China Sea had set sail too hastily at night. There was not enough fuel and other supplies, and their endurance determined that they could not search the sea for too long.

They had already crossed the line and it wouldn't be a bad thing to go back early.

Just as Pei D was about to speak, another crew member who didn't know which ship was on the ship intervened: "Two brothers, your whole family is running a boat?"

The deputy captain and the two soldiers heard it clearly and couldn't help laughing.

Han Yu said seriously on the radio: "Yes, my cousins ​​are all sailors, and our whole family is on the ship."

The first crew member to join the chat just now joked: "Okay, you are a sailing family!"

Han Yu couldn't help but think of his father. His father liked to talk nonsense and even scold sailors from all over the world on the radio. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Our family has been running ships since our grandfather's generation. Our whole family is contributing to the maritime industry and devoting our youth to it." Dedicate your whole life to your descendants!"

"So you are descendants of a shipping company?"

"almost."

"Why don't you dedicate your whole life to your children and grandchildren? Why don't you just take advantage of it and still not be good? Running a boat can only be done in the past two years. How much did you earn as a crew member in the past? Not only is your income high, but your social status is also high."

"Yes, those of them who are holding the iron job can stand and talk without pain in their backs!"

We can't talk anymore, if we continue to talk we will start to curse.

As soon as Han Yu put down the intercom, Captain Wu reminded: "Xianyu, check the radar."

Han Yu leaned over and took a look, and suddenly found a bright spot about six nautical miles ahead on the left, and asked in a low voice: "Only one?"

"Just two."

"It's very close, so we can only detect one?"

"Well," Captain Wu nodded, thought about it and then said firmly: "I'm sure it's not a big ship."

Xiaoyu held onto the driver's seat and asked, "Would you like to catch up and take a look?"

Xu Mingyuan, Fang Zhiqiang, and Director Liu of the Sanzaogang Border Police Station, who were also crowded in the cab, looked at Han Yu at the same time.

Han Yu stared at the radar display screen and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look at the target's speed and course changes first."

"Okay." Captain Wu turned around and glanced at the helmsman, indicating that the ship's course and speed would not change for the time being.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Han Yu straightened up and explained: "There is garbage on the shore, and there are also a lot of floating objects on the sea. We can only see if there is anything from the radar, but we cannot confirm whether it is a ship. If we find something, we will chase it. You’ll probably come back with a bunch of rubbish.”

It’s really like separated by mountains.

Xu Mingyuan sighed secretly and didn't ask any more questions.

Maybe when the fishery administration boat docked at Shedao Pier in the morning, it could only let the wind and waves blow around. The whole boat shook or even swayed irregularly, and everyone felt seasick.

Now the boat is heading against the wind and waves, and the boat is being controlled. Although it is still up and down, it is more regular than in the morning, and everyone feels much better.

Xiaoyu didn't want to wait in the cab, so he simply took Fang Zhiqiang down to continue playing cards with the militiamen.

Xu Mingyuan and Liu waited in the cab for about ten minutes. Han Yu and Captain Wu agreed that the target detected by the radar did not look like a stowaway ship, and was not even likely to be a ship.

Because judging from the course and speed, the bright spot is not sailing, but drifting with the current.

If a distress signal is received, one must rush to the rescue as quickly as possible. However, no distress signal is received, and the East China Fisheries Command and the Binjiang Fishery Administration Station Fishery Radio did not say that any vessel was in distress.

While the fishery administration ship continued to hunt on the vast sea as originally planned, Pei Dazheng and Deputy Captain Lin were studying the search plan.

"Three patrol boats were dispatched over the East China Sea but none were found. We only have one boat. The sea is so vast, how can we search!"

"Pei Da, why don't you ask Xianyu how they searched."

"How do you ask on the radio?"

"You can contact Wang Jiao and ask Wang Jiao to contact the Linghai Public Security Bureau, or ask Binjiang Fishery Administration Station what password they used in Xianyu and send them a telegram."

"What's the point of asking?"

Pei Da asked back and said helplessly: "There is no difference between a search by two boats and a search by one boat alone. I guess they are also trying their luck. It is difficult to catch a smuggling case like this at sea. In the end, it is them. The work was not done well, so we should have planned more carefully and caught the stowaway boats when they left the port."

Deputy Captain Lin smiled and said: "From the report, this case was jointly investigated by the Changhang Branch and the Linghai Public Security Bureau. One of them is very familiar with the river, and the other is a local police officer. It is normal for them to not understand the situation at sea. "

"Other people don't understand, and it's impossible for Xianyu not to understand. He has worked on a seagoing ship for more than four years and traveled across the ocean to many places. He should know very well that if you want to make a living at sea, you need to find a needle in the haystack!"

"They may have considered law enforcement rights, otherwise they would not have waited on Shedao."

"It's possible. Let's not talk about this. We will patrol the route last time we went to sea. The best we can do is search. If we can't search, there is nothing we can do. We will return when we patrol the Yungang waters."

…

Linghai Public Security Bureau, small conference room.

Political Commissar Jiang, who had not slept well all night, was sitting at the conference table with his chin in his hands, thinking deeply.

After Zhou Huixin received the call from her superior, she sat down worriedly.

Political Commissar Jiang raised his head and asked, "What did Director Chen say?"

"Director Chen said that the provincial department attaches great importance to it and asked us to find ways to intercept it. But the situation at sea is different from that on the shore. We can't come up with any good methods now, even if we have the strength to do so."

"The mood of our superiors is understandable. It's useless for us to just be anxious. We can only wait and see what Xianyu and the others do."

"More than a hundred stowaways are crammed into two broken boats. If I were the leader, I would be equally worried."

Zhou Huixin lit a cigarette and took several puffs in succession. The small conference room was filled with smoke again.

Political Commissar Jiang was convinced. After all, there were too many stowaways. If a shipwreck occurred and so many people died at once, one can imagine the negative international impact it would have.

If everything goes well and reaches Japan, but is caught by Japanese law enforcement agencies, the impact will be equally bad.

In short, it doesn't matter if you don't grasp this clue. Now that you have grasped it, you must find ways to intercept the stowaway boat.

Thinking about the fact that his superiors made several calls today to ask about the case, and that they all had the intention of not shutting down the network in Lugang, Political Commissar Jiang was really depressed, feeling that his superiors were really having a hard time standing up and talking.
