Riverside police

It started to drizzle again today, bringing a different kind of romance to the riverside.

Xu Haoran and Zhang Baoqing rushed to Yingchuang Port No. 2 Anchorage in the rain and visited the cargo ship anchored here.

The first thing a new official does when he takes office is that Bureau Gu, who is in charge of the Investigation Section, and Wang Ke, who has just been transferred from Jiangcheng, are not very satisfied with the work of the Investigation Section.

Before the official establishment of the branch, the cases handled by the anti-smuggling task force were either transferred from the customs or handed over by the district and county public security bureaus. The main work of the anti-smuggling office was to supplement the investigation, collect fixed evidence, and then transfer it to the procuratorate. Review prosecution.

Only a few major cases were investigated in depth by the smuggling task force, and clues also came from customs and various district and county public security bureaus.

In short, in the opinion of the two leaders, the Investigation Section cannot sit in the office and wait for clues. It must go out, mobilize the masses, and take the initiative to make a difference.

Ma Guan thought it was reasonable, and Political Commissar Zhou didn't say anything.

As a result, Zhang Baoqing, Xu Haoran and other investigators were made miserable. They had to go out every day to collect intelligence clues.

However, most of these investigators were transferred from the public security bureaus of various districts and counties. They were almost all landlubbers and did not understand the situation on the river. When everything goes dark, who can I turn to for help?

Although Xu Haoran changed his career and returned to Binjiang not long ago, he still had some connections because his deceased father was Xu Sanye. Zhang Baoqing believed that he should take advantage of his connections and ask friends from the Water Branch, Changsha Branch and Maritime Safety Administration for help.

Although the jurisdiction over smuggling cases is now under the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau, the Water Branch and the Changhang Navigation Branch also need results. It would be great if they really have clues to capture the situation and then hand it over to the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau. Why do you want to help this person to get the clues? for you?

Because of this, Xu Haoran was too embarrassed to go to Wang Wenhong, Zhao Hongxing and Xiaoyu, so he could only ask Han Xiangning for help. With the help of comrades from the Changzhou Maritime Department and Water Search and Rescue Center, he came down the river to visit the crew.

"Clues to smuggling, Comrade Public Security, we are inland river cargo ships. We are either hauling yellow sand or gravel. How can we be smuggling? Besides, the time we spent running on the river was not long enough to wait for loading and unloading near the dock. Even if there was smuggling on the river We don’t know either.”

"Yes, when checking for smuggling, you should ask those who run sea-going ships what they want from us."

Neither of the two ship owners could figure out whether they were customs law enforcement officers or police officers. With the attitude of doing more than doing less, they muttered every word.

If the maritime affairs department had not accompanied them, the ship owner would not have bothered to receive them.

Zhang Baoqing had long seen that they were a little impatient, and realized that he had found the wrong person to find them. After all, he did not go to the sea, and he transported building materials on the river and in the small river in the lock every day. Smuggling was indeed far away for him.

Xu Haoran asked with a smile: "Boss Liu, I know you rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with smugglers, but you must refuel when you run on the river every day. Have you ever encountered an oil dealer?"

"We often encountered them in the past, but later we cracked down and arrested many, but now there are very few. Even if someone does, they will not sell oil to us, they will only sell it to familiar ships."

As soon as the tall captain finished speaking, the short captain smiled and said: "Although the oil dealer's oil is cheap, we don't dare to add it easily. Who knows what kind of oil they sell? If the quality is not good, it will burn the machine."

The tall boat owner was convinced. He raised his head and said, "I remembered this. In the past, the Binjiang water police arrested a group of oil dealers who recycled waste oil, purified it and sold it again. The oil they sold was of very poor quality."

…

More than a dozen ships were visited, but no clues were collected.

Xu Haoran took Zhang Baoqing to Liu Xinpei's "supermarket ship".

Business on the river is really easy. Not only did Liu Xinpei repay the money he paid for the boat with Xiaoyu's family early, but he also bought a two-hundred-ton boat.

Now that Xu Haoran is here, Liu Xinpei and his wife will of course have to take care of the food.

They laid out a large table of food, and while serving the two of them, they said with a smile: "We have less water smuggling here, but more at Wusongkou and Liuhekou. Even if a dealer comes to sell smuggled oil, they will make an appointment with the buyer in advance. , and then drive over to unload the oil when it’s dark, and then leave after unloading. It’s very difficult to catch them.”

Zhang Baoqing asked curiously: "Boss Liu, who will those oil dealers sell the smuggled oil to?"

"I don't know about that. It's different now. No one dares to sell it openly now."

“Have you ever seen a boat selling smuggled oil?”

"No, even if I saw them I wouldn't know they were a ship selling smuggled oil. You can't tell from their appearance. If you could tell, they would have been caught by the customs and the police."

"Their ships are all disguised?"

"Not only the smuggling ships have to be disguised, but also the sand mining ships are disguised to look like cargo ships. Xiaoyu helped Yang Yuan seize an illegal sand mining ship last year. I went to the ship to see that the sand pumps and pipes were all installed on the big In the warehouse, when sand is not being mined, it is covered tightly with tarpaulin, so you can’t tell from the outside.”

Xu Haoran didn't want to return empty-handed again and asked: "Brother Liu, you stay on the river every day and are more familiar with the situation on the river than we are. Where do you think we should go to collect smuggling clues?"

Liu Xinpei thought for a while, raised his arm and pointed to the east: "I think we should go to Dongqi. Dongqi is close to the anchorage of sea vessels entering the Yangtze River. There are fishing boats and fishing ports. There are many small docks near the estuary. Last year, Wang Yan A batch of smuggled cigarettes was seized in Dongqi, you'd better go to Dongqi for a walk."

I'm not very familiar with the Binjiang side, and I'm even less familiar with the Dongqi side.

Xu Haoran didn't know what to say, and Liu Xinpei couldn't help laughing: "Haoran, Captain Zhang, aren't you just collecting clues? Do you need to run like this?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Looking for Salted Fish, Salted Fish has many friends!"

"He is busy organizing crew training. Besides, he is now the chief of the maritime anti-smuggling section. We are the investigation section. If we ask him for help, the new section chief will definitely think that we are trying to be lazy."

"You are in the same unit now, how can you tell the difference so clearly?"

Zhang Baoqing knew that Liu Xinpei had been a marine policeman before, so he explained with a wry smile: "The deputy director in charge of us used to be the political commissar of the Dongru Public Security Bureau, and the new section chief used to be the police station chief and the criminal police captain. Although their public security work experience It’s very rich, but I have never cracked down on smuggling before, and I think cracking down on smuggling is similar to investigating ordinary cases.”

Liu Xinpei asked with a smile: "Use the local police's tactics to combat smuggling?"

"Absolutely." Zhang Baoqing confirmed helplessly: "They require each of us to develop a few eyes and ears to have a clear eye on the smuggling situation on the river. But the ships and people on the river are so mobile, and we are a Even if a newly established unit can develop a few ears and eyes, it will be difficult to meet their requirements.”

"A strike mission has been assigned to you?"

"Um."

"Then you should go to the foreign trade terminal in Binjiang Port, or go to the cruise anchorage, and check on the foreign trade ship to see if the crew has any smuggled goods."

"We would like to go, but our Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau has just been established, and many relationships have not been straightened out with the customs. When foreign trade ships enter and exit the port, people from the Customs Inspection Section will inspect them. In the past, the Inspection Section did not have guns, but now the superiors arrange armed police Assist them in their duties, and they can bring armed police on board the ship for inspection."

"They've gone, why don't you go again?"

"The same goes for the supervised goods yards. The supervision department and the inspection department will conduct inspections. The case will be handed over to us only when problems are found and criminal liability can be pursued."

They can't get involved in large ships, and they can't detect small ships. It's not easy for them to carry out their work.

Taking the initiative is easier said than done.

What's more important is that their unit has just been established. If it were another unit, they could have "solved the case and left behind a few well-informed informants" in their previous work, and they were the first batch of anti-smuggling agents since the founding of New China. The police do not have this foundation.

Liu Xinpei thought for a while and then asked with a smile: "You don't have many people in the investigation department. Binjiang is so big that you can't even investigate. Didn't all districts and counties set up anti-smuggling offices? Xianyu also did Linghai anti-smuggling for a few days." Directors of private offices, you can go to the private offices in various districts and counties and ask for help."

"This work is being done by Political Commissar Ma Guan and Zhou. Even if the bureau leaders don't do it, they won't pay attention to us if we go there. The members of each district and county anti-smuggling leading group are either district or county leaders or the top leaders of the bureau committee. We are qualified to talk to them. Conversation?”

"That's true. Only Xianyu can ask others for help."

…

At the same time, Villa No. 2 in the rescue boat brigade camp welcomed eight guests.

Jiang Xiaojun, the former Criminal Investigation Section Chief of the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau, Li Weiguo, the instructor of the Qianjiang Police Station, Jia Yongqiang, the former captain of the Fourth Marine Police Brigade of the Water Branch, and Wu Minde, the former criminal police captain of the Dongqi Public Security Bureau, were invited by Han Yu to come with their wives to recuperate!

The villa may not seem big, but it has a lot of rooms and can accommodate four families.

You can go to the canteen in the camp or cook your own meals in the villa. Gas stoves, refrigerators, pots and pans are all available.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the scenery at the foot of Langshan Mountain is beautiful. Old-timers like it very much.

Lao Jiang looked back at the four female relatives who were watching the rainy scenery in the mountains in the sun room, and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that I could also enjoy the treatment of the leader for once, Xianyu, we are all taking advantage of you."

"Yes, this used to be a place where only senior cadres could live!"

"It's definitely cooler in the mountains than outside in summer, Xianyu, can we live here until summer?"

"Of course, as long as I am also the captain of the rescue ship brigade, you can stay as long as you want."

"real?"

"Uncle Li, how could I lie to you."

Han Yu pointed to Villa No. 1 not far away and said with a smile: "Ge Diao said yesterday that if you are too crowded, you can move to his side. He and my wife are the only ones there, and there are several empty rooms."

Li Weiguo said without hesitation: "No, it's not crowded here. Besides, he is the city leader now. It's good for us old friends to live together. It's uncomfortable to live with the city leader."

Lao Jiang, Lao Jia and Lao Wu all nodded, and they all believed that you should respect your leaders before you retire, and there is no need to compliment your leaders after you finally retire.

We are all our own people, there is no need to go around in circles.

While Han Yu poured tea for the four elders, he talked about the real reason for inviting them to "recuperate".

"Xianyu, we are all retired. Is it appropriate for us to guide your subordinates? Besides, the anti-smuggling police are also public security officers. The special nature of public security work determines that everything must be kept confidential."

"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Li, from now on you will be the consultants of our water anti-smuggling department. Ma Guan and Political Commissar Zhou both agree, and they plan to visit you in a few days."

"Stop joking, we are different from Ge Diao, how can we be qualified to be consultants!"

"I'm not kidding you."

Han Yu explained with a smile: "It is precisely because of the special nature of public security work that the knowledge taught in the police academy is entry-level and cannot be taught in real police academies. Moreover, most of the personnel in our water anti-smuggling department have changed careers. Cadres and retired soldiers have never even attended the police academy. This shows how important 'instruction and mentorship' is."

Jiang Xiaojun smiled and asked: "Do you want us to take them?"

"Uncle Jiang, you and Wu Da are old criminal police officers, Uncle Li is an old pre-trial officer, and Uncle Jia is an old security officer. With the help of the four of you, I don't have to hire teachers for security, criminal investigation and pre-trial. Even if I do, from now on The teachers hired from outside are not as professional as you."

"So your water anti-smuggling division will handle cases independently in the future?"

"necessary."

Han Yu was afraid that the four seniors would not be willing, so he pretended to be unhappy and said: "Do you know what Section Chief Wang of the branch's investigation department said about our water anti-smuggling department? He said they are investigators, and our water anti-smuggling department is all crew members , it’s clear that you look down on us!”

Li Weiguo was happy, looked at him with a smile and said, "That Section Chief Wang was actually right, you are indeed a crew member."

"But we are not just crew members, I am not bragging. We have to be a pentathlon. We are crew members, investigators, firefighters, rescuers and combatants at the same time! If we encounter pirates or armed smugglers during law enforcement at sea in the future, , we really want to fight pirates or armed smugglers."

"It makes sense, this is the tradition of our Yanjiang Police Station!"

"But I am not good at public security, criminal investigation and pre-trial, so I can only ask you seniors to come forward."

"No problem, leave the job of bringing up new comrades to us. I didn't expect to be able to bring up apprentices after retirement, hahaha."

"Uncle Li, I won't let you get it for nothing. Ma Guan and Political Commissar Zhou have said that if we can handle cases independently in the future, and if any seizures are confiscated and fines are returned, then I can pay you consulting fees and teaching fees. After all, we The water anti-smuggling team is undergoing training, and training costs money."

"You have something to do and money to get. Where can you find such good things? Salted fish, that's what we've decided."

"Thank you Uncle Jiang for your support!"

Wu Minde asked curiously: "Xianyu, Ge Tiao is also your consultant?"

Han Yu explained with a smile: "Ge Diao is an expert in the rescue boat brigade. He is a 'military consultant' and you guys are 'police consultants.' You and he are two different things."

"He's a military advisor!"

"He used to be a senior expert in the Linghai Reserve Battalion. He used to be equivalent to a military adviser to the Army. Now he is a military adviser to the Navy. The chief of the Navy knows him."

Lao Ge's position is too high, and he can be promoted to deputy researcher even after relegating to the second line.

Li Weiguo and Jiang Xiaojun did not dare to compete with Lao Ge. They had to stand at attention and salute when they saw Lao Ge before retiring. After all, Lao Ge was the director of Linghai Transportation with real power at the time.
