Riverside police

At 11:45 in the middle of the night, Han Yu led the anti-smuggling team to arrive at the gate at the northeastern tip of Minming Island overnight, boarded a small fishing boat from the East China Sea Outpost Aquaculture Farm, and boarded the China Fishery Administration Vessel 206, which was performing tasks at the Yangtze Estuary.

Fishing has started in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and there are many fishing boats in the Yangtze River Estuary.

The radar scanned around, and the bright spots on the display were densely packed.

Deputy Captain Shen of the Fishery Administration Corps of the Donghai District Fishery Administration Bureau not only maintains the order of fishery production at sea, but also assists in combating smuggling. He has been on board the ship for more than a month. When he saw Han Yu, he asked in confusion: "Salted fish? Have you changed your career?"

"No, not yet."

Vice Captain Shen asked with a smile: "What do you mean not yet?"

Regarding the private matter, everything that needs to be said has been said on the phone. Now on board the ship, Han Yu felt relaxed. While raising his hand to greet the captain, first mate and other old friends, he explained with a smile: "It may happen after a while." Need to be transferred to customs."

"The customs treatment is good, and it's OK to be transferred to the customs."

"Uncle Shen, don't you think it's strange?"

"During this period, we have been dealing with the customs almost every day. The people from the East China Sea Anti-smuggling Section just got off the ship the day before yesterday. Now the superiors are paying attention to combating smuggling and are equipping the customs with new anti-smuggling boats. It is normal for the superiors to transfer you to the customs."

Deputy Captain Shen thought about it and smiled: "I heard that the General Administration of Customs will also equip Binjiang Customs with anti-smuggling boats. At that time, they will not only be responsible for anti-smuggling at the end of the Yangtze River, but also be responsible for anti-smuggling at sea from Dongqi to the Yanhai Sea. By then we will If I encounter trouble at sea, I can ask for your support.”

Han Yu asked in surprise: "Uncle Shen, how come you know everything!"

"Although I have been at sea every day this month, I have a mobile phone, a radio station on the ship, and a satellite phone." Vice Captain Shen pointed in the direction of Binjiang and said with familiarity: "I know you are leading the people from the Binjiang Agricultural Bureau Fishery Administration Station. I went to Beihu to fight against the flood, and I learned that your reserve camp was rated as a national advanced flood-fighting group, and I also knew that you were named a national flood-fighting model!"

"I was about to report to you, but it seems it's not necessary."

"Your sister and your brother-in-law were transferred to Donghai?"

"Uncle Shen, you even know this!"

"Director He called me and told me, in fact, you can also transfer here."

"It's not that easy."

"You are not the Changhang Public Security Bureau now. It is not easy to be transferred to the Changhang Donghai Public Security Bureau, but you can be transferred to our Fishery Administration Bureau. Whether it is the customs or the coast guard, the nature of the work on the shore is different, but as long as you go to sea, The jobs to be done are pretty much the same.”

Vice Captain Shen knocked on the old bridge and said meaningfully: "Xianyu, even though our ship is older and the equipment is not very advanced, it is impossible for our fishery administration to not always change ships. And the customs Whether it’s an anti-smuggling boat or a coast guard patrol boat, they can only move around in the coastal waters. It’s different for us, we want to go to the open sea, or even sail across the ocean!”

The elder in front of me mobilized himself to be transferred to the fishery administration when he was working as the fishery administration stationmaster in Binjiang.

Unexpectedly, after several years, he would mention this matter again.

Han Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle Shen, I agreed to be transferred to the customs. I can't go back on my word. Besides, I'm not alone now. I have to consider my family."

"That's true. It's really inappropriate for you to be transferred to Donghai and leave Xiang Ning in Binjiang."

"And I have always changed jobs over the years. Although I have always changed jobs in Binjiang, it is not good to change jobs too many times."

The treatment of the Fishery Administration Bureau is not as good as that of the Customs, and the Fishery Administration Bureau does not have advanced fishery administration ships. Not to mention that Xianyu doesn't want to be transferred to the Fishery Administration now. Even if you want to, transferring it will be overkill.

Thinking that the customs officers and armed policemen brought by Han Yu from Binjiang were resting in the crew cabin on the first floor, Deputy Commander Shen simply changed the topic: "The mobile phone signal was not good just now, so I didn't hear clearly on the phone. What actions are needed tonight?" How can we help?”

Every year during the crackdown on illegal smuggling of eel fry, Han Yu would board this meritorious fishery administration ship, and he was very familiar with this ship.

He walked over and pulled out a water area map, turned on his flashlight and looked at the water area map and said: "Our colleagues on the shore received news that there may be a cigarette smuggling boat docking at the Dongqi Yongchang Water Plant Pier tonight, and the shore has been fortified. , just waiting for the smugglers to fall into the trap.

But we don’t know what kind of ship the cigarettes were smuggled in, let alone its speed. If the smugglers notice something is wrong and flee into the sea by boat, colleagues on the shore will have to worry. So we came here in the middle of the night and asked you to help us intercept it. "

Yongchang Water Plant Pier is not far from here.

Vice Captain Shen looked at the water area map, raised his head and said, "Old Li, tell Xiao Wu to cheer up and pay close attention to the movement at the estuary."

"good."

"Uncle Shen, we actually have a lot of law enforcement boats, but they need to be searched in the main waterway, and no one knows whether the smugglers have arranged for people to watch on the riverside, so we can't mobilize law enforcement boats from Sanhe."

"I know. I heard that your investigation is very strict these days."

Han Yu asked curiously: "How did you know?"

Vice Captain Shen pointed to the high-frequency radio station: "We are at the Yangtze River Estuary every day, and every day we can hear the seafarers on the ships bragging and cursing on the radio. There are several ships that are going to enter the Yangtze River. I heard that they have to queue up for inspection when they arrive at your place. I would rather I don’t want to rush into the Yangtze River while drifting on the sea.”

The ongoing smuggling operations on the water have had a certain impact on river and sea freight.

Those sea-going ships are worried about being inspected when sailing to the riverside waters. The Yangtze River waterway is relatively narrow. It is not like drifting in the sea or anchoring in shallow water. They are worried that there will be no anchorage after entering. When the time comes, they will be in a dilemma. It is understandable that they do not want to rush into the Yangtze River.

Thinking that Wang Yan and the people from Dongqi Public Security Bureau and Dongqi Tobacco Monopoly Bureau had been stationed there for several days, Han Yu hurriedly took out his mobile phone to confirm that there was a signal in the waters, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shen, you stay on the boat. You must be very tired after working for many days. There is no need to stay up late with me, just go and rest quickly, I will wait for news on the bridge."

"It's not like you've never participated in such a big operation. You should know that participating in a big operation lasts all day and night. My biological clock is completely messed up. Now it can be said that it doesn't matter day or night. I go to bed when I feel sleepy and get up when I have something to do. I don't know what to do now. Sleepy, besides, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, so of course we should take this opportunity to have a good chat.”

"OK."

…

While Han Yu and Deputy Captain Shen were chatting on the fishery boat, Wang Yan and twelve law enforcement officers from the Criminal Police Brigade of Dongqi Public Security Bureau and the Inspection Brigade of Dongqi Tobacco Monopoly Bureau were already at the old factory behind Yongchang Fishery Terminal. I stayed there for more than six hours.

Wang Yan climbed on the ladder with intense eyes, paying close attention to the surrounding movements.

The smuggling operation on the water has just been carried out for a week, but the smuggling operation on the shore has been carried out for more than a month. The detection of smuggled cigarettes is one of the focuses of the shore smuggling operation. During the operation, many clues about cigarette smuggling were obtained.

Intelligence revealed that a smuggling gang was about to smuggle imported cigarettes here.

In the past week, the police and tobacco inspection brigade personnel were arranged to observe the area quietly 24 hours a day, but there was no movement before.

It was not until this afternoon, or to be exact yesterday afternoon, that I finally made the discovery.

A middle-aged man with an Okura accent, driving a car with a Donghai license plate, came here around 4:30 in the afternoon. He closed the door with the person in charge of the pier and talked for half an hour. Then he stood by the pier and looked at it for a while, then got back to the car and took a taxi. Got a phone call.

At 6:20 in the evening, a large truck, which is extremely rare in Dongqi, arrived.

As the door creaked open, the large truck slowly drove into the dock.

There is a cold storage at the waterworks wharf. If it is to transport frozen seafood, the cold storage should be opened. The person in charge of the wharf should ask the stevedores to come to work, but until now, the cold storage has not opened, and the containers on the large flatbed have not been opened, nor have they been loaded into the container. Loading inside.

They must be waiting for the ship.

It is normal in Dongqi to wait for the fishing boats that went out to sea to come back to buy the fish, but the Lusi Fishing Port in Dongqi is not here!

From the map, Dongqi looks like a peninsula.

To the south is the North Branch of the Yangtze River, to the east is the Yellow Sea, to the north is the bay that interfaces with Linghai Sanzao Port, and Lusi Port is on the other side of the bay.

When a fishing boat catches fish at sea, it will usually be sold directly to a ship that buys seafood. The ship that buys seafood will then transport the seafood to Lusi Port. What should be wholesaled will be wholesaled, and what should be put into storage will be put into storage.

The Yongchang Water Plant Pier in front of us has long stopped purchasing seafood caught by local fishermen. It mainly loads and unloads feed required for offshore farming and some frozen seafood.

In short, the appearance of a large container truck that can only be seen at large terminals like Binjiang Port is extremely suspicious, and judging from the clues collected previously, the person in charge of the terminal is probably engaged in smuggling.

Wang Yan was just thinking about where Xianyu was when the sound of an engine suddenly came from the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow that looked like a fishing boat appeared on the river. It sailed very fast and reached the water not far from the dock in the blink of an eye.

It was late at night, and there were not many ships sailing on the river. Moreover, it was not far from the sea. River ships generally did not dare to go to the sea. There were very few ships passing by during the day. The anti-smuggling team members squatting under the corner heard clearly and subconsciously looked up. Xiang Wang Yan.

Wang Yan felt it and waved his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly.

At this time, the vaguely visible fishing boat did not slow down or move toward the dock, but continued to sail upstream.

Just when Wang Yan thought he had made a mistake and thought the fishing boat had not caught many fish and was returning home early, the fishing boat sailing on the water actually turned around and came back, lowering its speed and moving along the current to the dock.

Although Wang Yan was not a crew member, he had participated in water rescue training. He had been on a boat with Xu Sanye when the Fourth Criminal Investigation Squadron was stationed in Bailong Port. Later, he assisted the customs under the leadership of Xu Mingyuan to crack down on smuggling on the river several times.

It is very clear that no matter whether the ship encounters strong winds and waves or berths at the pier, it will be against the wind and waves. It is rare to berth with the current because it is not safe to berth like this.

Normally the ship boss would not make this stupid mistake.

There is only one possibility for such a berth, and that is that the boss of the ship is ready to sail away at any time!

Wang Yan was overjoyed and gestured again to his comrades to wait, and at the same time asked his subordinates to quickly go to the factory to call Han Yu to report.

What happened next made him extremely excited. The person in charge of the terminal, the middle-aged people who came in the afternoon, and the truck driver all ran to the terminal.

The people on the ship moved the big boxes to the shore, and the people on the shore loaded the boxes onto the trucks. There was no communication throughout the whole process, and the cooperation was very tacit. It was obvious that they had made an appointment in advance. This may not even be the first time!

Wang Yan tried his best to control his emotions. When he estimated that most of the car had been loaded, he whispered: "Act!"

The combatants were well prepared. Following Wang Yan's order, they climbed over the wall with the ladders they had prepared and surrounded them from the east and west sides.

"Don't move, we are the police!"

"As for you, be honest with me!"

…

Turn on the strong flashlight and shine it on the people on the shore and on the boat.

The busy smugglers looked astonished, and even the boat boss was dumbfounded.

Wang Yan confirmed that his brothers from the Criminal Police Brigade of Dongqi Public Security Bureau had jumped on the boat, and that a tobacco inspection team member was guarding the cable pile as planned. He quickly opened the door of the cab of the collection truck, climbed up and pulled out the key, and then jumped out of the car. He grabbed a smuggler who was trying to run away, and yelled: "Where are you going? Can you run away? Squat down!"

The police officers came with guns, some holding pistols and some holding submachine guns.

Several smugglers were so frightened that they could only squat down.

"Hold your head with your hands!"

"Everyone on the boat is coming up. What about you? Move quickly!"

"Don't even think about jumping into the river. The current here is very strong. You all know what will happen if you jump. Think about it clearly and be honest!"

If caught smuggling, the maximum sentence is two to three years, and the offender will not lose his life.

The three people on the boat did not dare to be dishonest, and climbed ashore nervously under the scolding of Wang Yan and others.

There were three people on the boat and three people on the shore, a total of six people, who were quickly brought under control.

Wang Yan didn't bother to call Han Yu to report, and opened a cardboard box with the help of his team members in front of the six people who had just been arrested.

As expected, it was all outside smoke.

"Where do these cigarettes come from, Boss Yang, tell me first!"

"Comrade Public Security, I don't know, I...I..."

"What am I, Yang Yubao, I can tell you clearly that we have been watching you for a long time. When the anti-private office was established in the town, they called you to a meeting and even made you a member of the anti-private office. It's good for you, you actually broke the law knowingly. Say it or not, now I give you one last chance!"

Anti-smuggling offices have been set up in several towns along the river and seaside. The village party secretaries of each village and the person in charge of each wharf are all members of the anti-smuggling offices in the towns. Just because they become members of the anti-smuggling offices out of nowhere is a violation of the law.

Yang Yubao, the owner of the wharf, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He said like a widower: "Comrade Public Security, these cigarettes really have nothing to do with me. I just let them load and unload them here."

"Who's the boss?"

"He's the boss, it's really none of my business."

"You're the boss. Raise your head. What's your last name? What's your name?"

…

From the moment he received the report from the anti-smuggling team on the shore, Han Yu asked Captain Li to go to Yongchang Pier at the fastest speed. Unexpectedly, within half an hour of sailing, Wang Yan called to report that all the stolen goods had been recovered.

"Have they confessed?"

"I confessed that the cigarettes were transferred from a Panamanian-flagged sea-going ship. The ship was not big, only 3,000 tons. The captain and crew were all Jianfu people."

"Do you know the name of that ship?"

"I know, but the ship is on the high seas and has probably left by now."

"Did they explain the location of the seagoing ship when they were shipping cigarettes?"

"Explained."

"Okay, tell me, I'll take some notes."

…

Han Yu quickly recorded the longitude and latitude of the "smuggling mother ship" on the high seas, straightened up and handed it to Captain Li.

Captain Li took it, looked at it, and immediately asked the helmsman to adjust the course and drive the fishery ship to the sea.

At the same time, Zhou Huixin, who was on the public security pontoon, had just received the news and quickly called Deputy Mayor Qin to report.

The middle of the night affects the leader's ability to rest well, but the leader has explained that important situations must be reported as soon as possible.

After waiting for about forty seconds, the call was connected.

"Comrade Huixin, is there anything going on?"

"Mayor Qin, ten minutes ago, the shore anti-smuggling team successfully captured six smugglers at Dongqi Yongchang Aquatic Products Terminal and seized 120 boxes of smuggled Sanwu cigarettes. According to the on-site interrogation by Wang Yan and others, Xianyu is Please ask the fishery administration boat of the Donghai District Fishery Administration Bureau to assist in going to the high seas to capture the family."

"Catch on the high seas?"

"Although the smuggling mother ship is Panamanian, the captain and crew are all Chinese, and they are engaged in smuggling crimes. According to the principle of personality and international conventions, we have the right to arrest them!"

"Let Xianyu and the others pay attention to their safety."

"He has already gone to sea with the fishery administration ship. There is no mobile phone signal at sea, so we can't contact him now. But don't worry, he is the first mate of the ocean-going ship. The captain and crew of the fishery administration ship are all experienced in maritime law enforcement, so he should be fine. .”

There is really no need to worry about Xianyu. Besides, Xianyu went with the armed police.

Vice Mayor Qin lit a cigarette, looked back at the bedroom, and asked in a low voice: "One hundred and twenty boxes of smuggled cigarettes were seized. How many cigarettes are there in one hundred and twenty boxes? What is the approximate value of the case?"

"Fifty pieces per box, 120 boxes equals 6,000 pieces, and 10 boxes per box means 60,000 boxes. Calculated based on the retail price of ten yuan per box, the total case value reaches 600,000 yuan."

"It seems that the case value is not calculated this way. By the way, are the cigarettes seized real or fake?"

"There are inspection teams from the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau in the shore anti-smuggling team. Wang Yan said that the tobacco comrades inspected the cigarettes on site and found that they should be real cigarettes, not fake."

"You should seize the time to arrange for someone to take over and let the comrades of the anti-smuggling team on shore have a good rest."

"yes."

Six thousand items may sound like a lot, but in fact it is not much, and the case value is not huge. At least it cannot be compared with the results of the comprehensive anti-smuggling leading group of brother cities, and it may even be just a fraction of others.

Having invested so much manpower and financial resources to achieve such little results, Vice Mayor Qin felt somewhat regretful, so he put down his cell phone and went back to the bedroom to continue sleeping.

Zhou Huixin also wants to investigate a major case, but the few smugglers who were just arrested "have no strength". Now he can only place his hope on Xianyu, hoping that Xianyu can come out on the high seas and reap the stolen goods.

After all, in the eyes of most people, this is real smuggling.

In short, the operation lasted for more than a week, and there were results in combating smuggling, but the results were not great enough. Instead, the batch of fake fish meal seized on the first day of hunting rabbits attracted the attention of superiors.

The Bureau of Technical Supervision took samples and sent them to an institution in the East China Sea for inspection and analysis. The results were shocking. The content of fish meal was very small. It was mainly animal leather and even contained toxic chemicals such as sulfuric acid.

If more than 500 tons of fake fish meal is not seized and allowed to flow into the market, it will be mixed with thousands of tons of animal feed. How much economic loss will it cause to the farmers?

Even if animals such as pigs, chickens, and ducks do not die if they are eaten, when pork and chicken enter the market and are eaten by the masses, they will still endanger the health of the masses!

Because of this, the province asked Binjiang Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Technical Supervision Bureau and Public Security Bureau to jointly set up a task force to rush to Zhehai. With the assistance of Zhehai, they destroyed the factory that produced fake and shoddy fishmeal.

It's more of a workshop than a factory.

According to the report of the joint task force, the main raw materials used by criminals to manufacture fake fish meal are actually scraps purchased from nearby leather production companies!

The leather has been processed with toxic chemicals such as sulfuric acid. The criminals knew that the scraps were poisonous, so they simply cleaned them, crushed them, and mixed them with some fish meal and soybean meal to turn them into imported fish meal. It was crazy. .

But these have nothing to do with the anti-smuggling operations headquarters.

What we need to do now is to quickly achieve some results in the fight against smuggling. Otherwise, by the end of the operation, we will not know how to write a summary or even how to report to our superiors.

Zhou Huixin was thinking wildly when Xiao Ding, a policeman from the municipal bureau office, walked in and reminded: "Bureau Zhou, it's already past one o'clock. Take a rest quickly."

"Oh, thank you."

"Don't forget to take your medicine. My sister-in-law called me specifically yesterday afternoon."

"I know, I can't forget it." Zhou Huixin stood up, thought about it and warned again: "You stay here and keep an eye on it. If anything happens, call me in time."
