Riverside police

In the early morning, Han Yu and two engineers from the Binjiang Water Conservancy Bureau rushed to Dongqi Port by car.

Dongqi Port is a passenger terminal like Bailong Port, and its history is almost as long as Bailong Port. However, Dongqi Port is not in Dongqicheng District. It was originally located in Beixin Town, Dongqi. Later, it had to be moved to Huifeng Town due to channel siltation.

Dongqi is the easternmost county-level city in Binjiang and even the entire Jiangnan Province. Although it is across the river from Taoming County in Donghai City like Linghai, the transportation is extremely inconvenient.

Linghai has at least two steam ferries, Lingda and Taoling, and Bailonggang Passenger Terminal. There is no bus ferry in Dongqi, and long-distance buses from Dongqi have to go west to the Tuoling Bus Ferry in Linghai to cross the river.

This shows how important Dongqi Port, located in Huifeng Town, is to Dongqi.

In the past few years, the Yangtze River Passenger Transport Company has adjusted the routes of several passenger ships, including the Baishen, in order to increase the passenger occupancy rate.

The Baishen Line passenger ship that plies between Bailong Port and Shiliupu Pier in Donghai City will no longer sail westward to enter the main line of the Yangtze River after setting sail from Bailong Port. Instead, it will go directly eastward along the North Branch Channel and dock at the east end of the Yangtze River. Open the port and then go south from the waters on the east side of Yaoming Island into Wusongkou.

In order to meet the needs of high-end passengers, Dongqi Port has also opened a high-speed passenger ferry route to and from Baoshan in the East China Sea. A high-speed passenger ship named "Rocket" runs one round trip every day.

At the end of last year, the shrewd Donghai people saw that this route had a lot of passenger traffic, so they specially introduced foreign capital to establish the Yangtze River Sanbei Steamship Co., Ltd.

In February this year, the "Sanbei Ship" launched its first voyage from Dongqi Port.

Since then, there have been four sailings per day between Dongqi Port and Zhanghuabang Terminal in the East China Sea, becoming the first domestic company to operate a high-speed passenger route approved by the Ministry of Transport as a Sino-foreign joint venture.

Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau only has jurisdiction over the northern branch route eastwards to Bailong Port.

Everything that happened in Dongqi Port has nothing to do with the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau, but it has something to do with the Binjiang Branch of the Changhang Public Security Bureau!

Although the Changjiang Shipping Public Security Bureau, the Yangtze River Port Supervision Bureau, and the Yangtze River Waterway Bureau are all under the leadership of the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau, the jurisdictions of the three companies are different.

For example, the East China Sea Channel Division of the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau has its jurisdiction starting from Huangtian Port in Jiangyin City, Jiangnan Province, with the trunk line east to Liuhekou in Dacang, and the northern branch down to Lianxing Port in Dongqi City. It maintains a total of 340 miles of waterways. Two kilometers, including 131 kilometers of main channel, 131 kilometers of auxiliary channels, and 80.5 kilometers of dedicated channels.

But in fact, the channels they maintain are mainly in Jiangnan Province, only slightly intersecting with Tomming Island, and they are mainly in the North Branch waters. What's even more funny is that they don't do much maintenance on the North Branch channel.

Can such a waterway be called the East China Sea Waterway?

Many people find this strange, but if you stay on the Yangtze River for a long time, you will know that the agencies under the departments responsible for the Yangtze River have nothing to do with the local administrative divisions. The waters under the jurisdiction of some port regulatory bureaus even span three provinces and four prefecture-level cities on both sides of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, the administrative levels of several departments in charge of the Yangtze River, including their dispatched agencies, are not linked to those of local governments.

For example, the Changjiang Shipping Public Security Bureau, the Yangtze River Port Supervision Bureau and the Yangtze Communications Bureau are all department-level units, but they are subject to the management of the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau, which is also at the department level.

Another example is the newly established Shuzhou Port Supervision Office, Dakang Port Supervision Office and Zhangjiagang Port Supervision Office. They are not deputy offices as previously thought, but full department-level units. But Shuzhou, Okura and Zhangjiagang are all county-level cities. If they are invited to attend a meeting, they must sit on the podium like city leaders.

Compared with the above-mentioned units, the situation of the Changhang Public Security Bureau is even more special.

Along the Yangtze River, regardless of the main line or tributaries, as long as there are passenger terminals, the security of the terminals will be under the control of the Changhang Public Security Bureau. As long as it is a passenger ship operating on the main line of the Yangtze River and the tributaries of the Yangtze River, the police on the passenger ship must be dispatched by the Changhang Public Security Bureau.

Because of this, the Changhang Shipping Public Security Bureau has a branch in the East China Sea, which has the authority to manage public security on passenger ships sailing from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the East China Sea, or on passenger ships sailing from the East China Sea to cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In short, Dongqi Port is becoming more and more prosperous, and Changhang Binjiang Branch must pay attention to it.

Moreover, on the issue of jurisdiction, the Changhang Public Security Bureau has always refused to give in.

Bureau He personally came to investigate several times. Finally, with the approval of his superiors, the former Dongqigang Police Station was upgraded to Dongqigang Police Station of Changhang Binjiang Branch, and Li Xiaoliang, deputy director of Gaorugang Police Station, was transferred to the director. Old Xu, a former police officer from Dongqigang Police Station, serves as the instructor.

001 drove over three days ago and is leaning against the inner berth of the passenger terminal.

Han Yu said hello to Xu Jiao and boarded 001 along the pontoon under the leadership of Li Suo.

Ma Jintao was startled and came up to him and asked: "Yu Bureau, don't you need to be in Binjiang to take command? Why are you here?"

"The entire battlefield is 226 kilometers long from east to west, involving six districts and counties along the river. The commanders of the six sub-commands are either mayors or deputy mayors in charge of water conservancy. I am a small deputy section commander. Director, who can I command?”

"Command the ship, who can command so many ships except you!"

"This is not a naval war. The ships are means of transportation. The combatants have already boarded the ship. The next thing the captains, pilots and sailors of each ship have to do is to follow the orders of the leaders of each action team, such as when to sail, and what to do. It’s time to stop the ship.”

Li Xiaoliang understood it roughly and asked with a smile: "Yu Bureau, so you say there is nothing wrong with Binjiang?"

We got up early today and rushed here. The two engineers from the Water Conservancy Bureau didn't have breakfast. Han Yu and other Yang Yong invited the two engineers into the command cabin to have a meal. They supported the water cannon and said with a smile, "You can't say it's not my fault at all." , my superiors wanted me to accompany the city leaders to the Traffic Control Center of the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau to take command, but I thought about it and found an excuse to escape."

"Wouldn't it be better to accompany the city leaders to take command?"

"It's not like you don't know. When and how to act are all arranged. The only thing you have to do is to give an order. There is nothing to command."

Han Yu smiled and added: "The city will review the participating ships like a ship parade, and all seized sand mining and sand transporting ships will be ordered to sail to the waters near Pier 7 of Binjiang Port to gather temporarily. But it takes time."

Li Xiaoliang asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Next, we not only have to seize but also collect evidence. We can't do it faster even if we want to. The sand mining boats are so slow. It will be considered fast if we can escort those illegal sand mining and transporting boats before twelve o'clock tonight. .”

"What does this have to do with whether you stay in Binjiang to assist the leader and command?"

"Of course it does."

Han Yu looked back at the slowly approaching high-speed passenger ship and explained: "It is impossible for the city leaders to wait at the Traffic Control Center of the Port Supervision Bureau in the middle of the night. The leaders must have issued an order in the past and asked the TV reporters to take a few shots. , and then headed home.

If I stay there, the leaders can leave but I can't. But this special operation looks very large-scale, but in fact it is not that difficult. Several districts and counties along the river attach great importance to it. I can't do anything by staying in the traffic control center. It's better to Come over for evidence collection. "

The municipal party committee and the government attach great importance to it, and Mayor Wang personally serves as the commander-in-chief. Of course, the following districts and counties must also pay attention to it.

The tasks have been divided into various districts and counties, and most of the participants are drawn from the public security bureaus and water conservancy bureaus of each district and county. The commanders of the company battlefields are all district chiefs or mayors and deputy mayors of each district and county. Think carefully about the tasks assigned to them. It's nothing to do with salted fish.

Li Xiaoliang patted Han Yu on the shoulder and couldn't help but laugh after thinking about it.

Han Yu didn't feel too disappointed. After all, as long as things can be done, it doesn't matter who is in charge. He looked back behind him and asked in a low voice: "Li Suo, how are Dongqi's preparations going?"

"We have few sand mining boats here. The Dongqi headquarters reported an hour ago that there were only five of them as of one hour ago. Fishery 22 of the Donghai District Fishery Bureau, Fishery 303 of the Binjiang Fishery Station, and Dongqi Fishery Brigade The fishery administration 419 and 420 and the fishery administration 163 of the Taoming County Fishery Administration Brigade are all in place."

"Have all the combatants boarded the ship?"

"We boarded the ship last night."

"Illegal sand mining is under our jurisdiction in Binjiang. Our Binjiang Water Branch has jurisdiction over water security. What about water traffic violations?"

"The Marine Surveillance Bureau of the East China Sea did not arrange for a law enforcement ship to come over, but it sent a dozen law enforcement officers. At the moment, the same as our public security and water conservancy officials are on the fishery administration ship."

"I thought it was the supervision of Taoming Port."

"Taoming Port Supervision is the local port supervision. Several fishery administration ships came from the East China Sea, and even TV reporters came. Of course, the Maritime Supervision Bureau (Marine Safety Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Transport) has to take charge of it personally."

From the moment the city leaders decided to take command personally, there was not much the Shuangshui Branch could do, let alone Han Yu, the small branch chief.

Especially on the police side, orders are issued by the city bureau.

Thinking of the next mission that 001 will perform, Li Xiaoliang asked curiously: "Xianyu, can the water depth detector on 001 really collect evidence?"

Talking about this, Han Yu couldn't help but laugh and said: "I thought I could only see the water depth at first. Later, when I went to work on a seagoing ship, I found that our water depth detector seemed to be different from other people's, but I didn't care. After all, as long as I could see the water depth, it would be fine. .”

"and after?"

"Later I was transferred back to the Linghai Public Security Bureau, and I dealt with the Channel Engineering Bureau in Sanhe every day. I went to the Channel Engineering Bureau's boat to look at it, and then I realized that the water depth detection system sponsored by the Port Supervision Bureau was not only for detecting water depth."

"Not just to detect the depth of the water?"

"It is actually an underwater mapping system. As long as you turn on its switch, the depth of oceans and rivers will be immediately displayed on the instrument. With professional software and a few sensors, you can measure three thousand meters deep. The whole process takes only four minutes and can be measured while walking."

Han Yu smiled and continued: "And there is an automatic recording device in the computer, which can accurately and continuously record the underwater shapes."

Li Xiaoliang couldn't believe this was true and asked: "According to what you said, doesn't 001 become a hydrographic survey ship?"

"That's it now, hahahaha."

"How did the Hong Kong Regulatory Bureau think of sponsoring this system for you?"

"I asked Director Zhu, and Director Zhu said no one understood this at the time. Director Feng asked Section Chief Dong to inquire. Section Chief Dong heard that this system could measure water depth, so he bought it as a water depth detector and installed it for us. At that time, we also felt strange, why the water depth sounder is equipped with a computer, shouldn't it be equipped with a display screen like a radar display?"

"More advanced than ordinary water depth sounders?"

"It can't be said to be more advanced than the most advanced water depth sounders. I can only say that it has more functions than ordinary water depth sounders."

"Is it more expensive than an ordinary water depth sounder?"

"Of course, Director Zhu said that it cost more than 200,000 RMB that year, which is more valuable than 001!"

"Is this also installed on the ships of the Waterway Engineering Bureau?"

"Not only the ships of the Channel Engineering Bureau, but also the detection equipment installed on the hydrographic ships of the Water Conservancy Commission are the same as the ones on our 001."

Li Xiaoliang came to his senses and asked in surprise: "You arranged for someone to come here yesterday to install a printer on the water depth detection computer, and how to debug and collect evidence?"

"Um."

Han Yu nodded, thought about it and smiled: "According to the unified deployment of superiors, 001 is responsible for the evidence collection in Dongqi and Linghai waters; the hydrographic ship of the Water Conservancy Commission is responsible for the evidence collection in Changzhou, development zones and urban waters; waterway engineering The bureau’s surveying and mapping vessel is responsible for collecting evidence in Gaoru waters.”

Ma Jintao came over and asked: "Fish Bureau, is it necessary to go to such trouble?"

"If you are not afraid of trouble now, you will avoid a lot of trouble in the future. You must know that our next step is to assist the water administration in assessing the extent of damage caused by illegal sand mining to the Yangtze River. Without conclusive evidence, how can we calculate how much money will be needed to invest in remedial measures."

"Who is going to calculate how much money is needed to take remedial measures?"

"The Waterway Bureau, they are professionals. We provide evidence and ask the Waterway Bureau to help calculate."

Han Yu paused and explained patiently: "The water administration ordered the illegal sand mining bosses to pay tens or even millions at once. Those sand mining bosses will definitely not be convinced. In the future, when it goes to court, the judge will definitely support the water administration. However, the judge has no idea how much money the sand mining bosses will be asked to pay, and it is impossible to fully believe what the water administration says."

Ma Jintao leaned on the high-pressure water cannon and asked with a smile: "We have conclusive evidence and assessments from professional departments, so the judge has nothing to worry about?"

"It's almost the same, but it's not what we have, it's what the water administration has."

"Isn't this the same thing?"

"How could it be the same thing? This is a water case. Only the water administration has the power to investigate and deal with it. We, the police, are just assisting."

Just as he was talking, Li Xiaoliang's cell phone rang.

Han Yu subconsciously raised his arm to look at his watch, then turned around to signal Captain Fan and Lao Zhu, who had already prepared the car, to get ready to set sail.

As expected, the call came from the headquarters.

In order to keep confidentiality, today's operation commanders all communicated through mobile phones and did not use the radio station of the Hong Kong surveillance system.

"Reporting to the headquarters, I am Li Xiaoliang, director of Dongqigang Police Station of Binjiang Branch of Changhang Public Security Bureau. Binjiang Marine Police 001 is assigned to our command according to the orders of superiors. The personnel and ships are all ready. The personnel and ships are all ready and can start at any time. Hang on mission!"

"Binjiang Marine Police 001, it is 7:23 now, I order you to act on time at 7:30."

"Act on time at 7:30, Binjiang Marine Police 001 received!"

PS: I had a fever all day and night, and I feel better today. I will write another chapter to express my apologies, and try to resume normal updates tomorrow.
