Riverside police

It was late at night, and the river was completely dark. Only the lights of anchored ships and passing ships could be vaguely seen.

Binjiang Police 002 turned off the lights and was moored on the outside of an inland river freighter, bumping and undulating irregularly with one wave after another.

Armed police soldier Xu Haiming was assigned to the anti-smuggling division on the water because he could swim. But when he boarded the public security law enforcement boat, he realized that being able to swim did not mean he would not get seasick.

He was extremely dizzy and his stomach was churning. He had gone to the back deck and vomited three times since he got on the boat in the evening. He had already vomited all his food but still felt like vomiting.

Squad leader Yang Shengkui's hometown is on the Yangtze River, and the water quality is relatively good. He doesn't get seasick on the river. I don't know if I will get seasick when I go to sea in the future.

Afraid that his comrades would accidentally fall into the river, he helped Xu Haiming, who had gone to the back deck to vomit again, into the cabin. He looked at the water branch police officer who was observing the anchorage with a night vision device and asked: "Brother Xia, is there anything going on?"

"Not yet. You guys go get some sleep. I'll call you at two o'clock."

"Can't sleep."

"You have to sleep even if you can't sleep. In this business, you have to develop the habit of falling asleep no matter where you are or at any time. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear it." Lao Xia put down the night vision goggles and turned to look at the man covered with a military coat. Yang Yong was sleeping soundly: "Look at our Captain Yang, we can fall asleep as soon as we close our eyes."

What is going on is not only an anti-smuggling operation on the water, but also the third round of severe crackdown on the water carried out by the Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch in conjunction with the Water Public Security and Changhang Public Security.

After all, with so many personnel and equipment deployed, the goal cannot be limited to combating smuggling. And suspicious boats that appear on the river at night are likely to be engaged in other illegal and criminal activities.

Huang Jun, an employee of the Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch, and Yang Shengkui and Xu Haiming, the armed police officers, joined the sixth squatting team, and Yang Yong, a policeman from the Water Branch, served as the team leader.

Rather than serving as a team member, it is better to help Han Yu lead new people.

It was easy for Yang Yong to fall asleep. He could fall asleep standing up, but his sleep was very shallow and he would wake up at the slightest disturbance. He heard Lao Xia talking, closed his eyes and yawned and asked: "Lao Xia, what time is it? ?”

"half past twelve."

"Is there any movement at the anchorage?"

"No."

"Where are Xiaoyu, Ma Da and Xiao Gong?"

"nor."

"It seems that before the time comes, criminals usually operate in the middle of the night." Yang Yong opened his military coat, stretched, opened his eyes and looked at Huang Jun, an employee of the Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch who was sleeping in front, and then He looked at the two armed policemen who hadn't slept since they got on the boat.

Yang Shengkui met Yang Yong for the first time today, but after hearing it from Guo Weitao and Xiao Gong more than once, he couldn't help but ask: "Captain Yang, are you and Secretary Han old comrades in arms?"

"I have known your Secretary Han for eleven years."

"Eleven years, how old was Secretary Han at that time?"

"Sixteen, he started work early."

Yang Yong didn't want to talk about the past, so he took out a cigarette and handed one over, asking curiously: "Xiao Yang, your large army has arrived. How many people are here in total?"

"Forty-two."

"Only your class is here with Secretary Han, and everyone else is at the customs?"

"Well, they are mainly responsible for going on duty at regulatory sites and assisting in inspections."

"They are more comfortable than you. At least they don't have to stay up all night."

"It's no fun to stand guard. They say they want to assist with inspections, but they don't know anything when they first come here. They have to learn the business first and have to memorize many tax regulations."

"What tax rules are you carrying?"

"It's about the regulations on how much tax should be paid on certain goods. There are so many types of imported and exported goods, and there are probably thousands of relevant tax rules. I would rather stay on the river than have to bear so many tax rules."

Yang Yong wanted to say that you armed police officers can only work in the customs for one year. What's the use of learning so much? You won't be able to use it after you go back. However, considering that you can't dampen people's enthusiasm for work, he simply changed the topic: "Secretary Han also Really, Xiao Xu and the others asked you to join the operation as soon as they arrived, and they didn’t even arrange for anyone to take you around the city."

Yang Shengkui couldn't help but smile and said: "Secretary Han made arrangements. He said that after participating in the water crackdown, he would take us to the city for a walk, and the customs would also organize a tour."

"Where to travel?"

"Organize comrades on duty in the urban area to travel to Langshan."

"What kind of tourism is this? Your camp is in Langshan. There is no need for a customs organization. You can be a tour guide for your comrades."

"It's pretty funny to think about."

"Your troops are stationed in Bei Ha Province. You finally have the opportunity to go on duty in Binjiang, and Binjiang is so close to the East China Sea. Then talk to Secretary Han and ask Secretary Han to take you to the East China Sea for a few days. Going to the East China Sea is tourism. Walking around Binjiang is nothing like tourism, and there aren’t many attractions in Binjiang.”

Yes, it’s hard to get out once. If I have the chance, I want to go to the East China Sea to see more.

Yang Shengkui really wanted to see the largest city in China, but he was just a squad leader and the leader of the team didn't say anything. How could he dare to mention it to Secretary Han.

Just when he didn't know how to pick it up, Lao Xia suddenly said: "Captain Yang, a boat has moved."

"Moved?"

"I just lifted the anchor, and looking at the heading, I want to dock."

There are two small docks nearby with incomplete procedures. Since the channels and berths are not deep enough, they can only berth river cargo ships with a weight of less than 1,000 tons. They mainly load and unload grain, feed, yellow sand, gravel and other building materials.

The small pier is not as busy as the big pier. When I turned around, there were no lights, which showed that there was no overtime work tonight.

What was that ship doing by docking in the middle of the night? Even if it wanted to load and unload cargo, why not arrange for it to be loaded and unloaded during the day?

Yang Yong felt very strange. He got up and took the telescope with night vision function, adjusted the focus and observed carefully.

"It turned out to be an oil tanker. I've seen this boat before."

"tanker!"

Huang Jun, a former Navy radar soldier and current employee of the Maritime Anti-Smuggling Division, suddenly woke up.

Yang Yong turned back and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be nervous. This oil tanker is not that oil tanker. What it transports is not diesel, gasoline, or heavy oil, but salad oil, rapeseed oil, and soybean oil."

Huang Jun rubbed his eyes and asked subconsciously: "Did you eat oil?"

"It's specifically designed to transport cooking oil."

Yang Yong once again raised the night vision telescope that the branch invested heavily in equipping. He continued to observe and said with a smile: "There are two large oil pressing plants on the shore. There are several Beihu-registered oil ships specifically helping the oil pressing plants to transport oil. They are docking at the dock. is one of them.

Mr. Zhang of our Linghai Reserve Battalion is also in the grain and oil business, but the oil comes in from Sigang. It is transported from Sigang, packaged, and then shipped to Donghai for sale. Mr. Zhang seems to have also found this ship to transport oil to Sigang. "

Huang Jun didn't know Mr. Zhang, he only knew the mission he was performing, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Yang, is that a river boat?"

"Um."

"That has nothing to do with us."

"But it's probably related to our water branch."

Huang Jun was stunned.

Lao Xia was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Captain Yang, is there something wrong with this boat?"

Yang Yong put down the night vision binoculars and analyzed: "The two oil mills are nearby, but the oil mills have their own small docks and even have oil pipelines set up. Oil ships will not be allowed to load and unload cooking oil on the river, and on the shore The two terminals are not used for loading and unloading cooking oil."

Although the two large oil pressing plants on the shore are very close to here, they are not on the riverside. Their own wharf is inside the ship lock like Longgang Rice Industry's wharf. Oil ships must first pass through the ship lock before they can drive to the wharf to load oil.

Lao Xia reacted suddenly, frowned and said: "The oil tank of an oil tanker is different from the warehouse of an ordinary cargo ship. The oil tank of an oil tanker can only hold oil, not other goods. What is that ship doing at the dock in the middle of the night? ?”

"There's something wrong, something fishy!"

"Captain Yang, what's the problem?"

"You drive the boat to the shore first, I want to make a phone call."

"yes!"

…

Huang Jun couldn't care less and no longer dozed off. Yang Shengkui also hurriedly walked to the back and threw away the cigarette butts, cheering up and preparing to assist the public security operations on the water.

Just as Lao Xia started the engine and drove Binjiang Police 002 slowly toward the shore, Yang Yong dialed Zhang Erxiao's mobile phone.

"Brother, it's so late, and if you don't go to bed, I have to go to bed!"

"In a hurry!"

"What's up?"

"Last time you said there was a loss in finding a boat to haul oil to Sigang."

Zhang Erxiao hugged his beloved wife, squinted his eyes and said drowsily: "Transporting bulk oil is different from transporting barreled oil. There must be losses when transporting bulk oil."

Yang Yong asked: "How much was the loss?"

"Two thousandths. This is a business rule. It must be written down when signing a transportation contract."

"What about actual losses?"

"In the past, when 500 tons of oil were transported, the actual consumption was up to 100 kilograms. In the past two years, the loss has been a bit large, about one ton each time, but it is still cost-effective compared to hiring a tanker to haul it."

"Every time the loss is about one ton, every time it is on the bottom line of the contract!"

"Absolutely." Zhang Erxiao thought about it and said, "Not just our Longgang Rice Industry, but also the No. 4 oil pressing plant and several oil pressing plants in the development zone."

Edible oil is different from gasoline and diesel. Edible oil is thicker, less volatile, and less prone to loss than other oils. Most of the ships transporting edible oil for these grain and oil companies have short sailing distances, so the actual loss should be very small. How could the loss be so large?

Yang Yong didn't want to disturb Zhang Erxiao's sleep, so he hung up the phone after saying a few words, raised his head and said: "Lao Xia, after we land, you drive 002 to the original position and stand by. Xiao Yang, Huang Jun, after we land, we quietly go over there. Look what the oil tanker is doing when it docks at the dock in the middle of the night.”

"yes!"

…

At 0:27, Yang Yong quietly walked to the pier with Huang Jun, Yang Shengkui and Xu Haiming who had cheered up.

I don’t know if I don’t come, but I feel happy once I come.

Although the lights were not turned on on the small pier, there were people with cars, and the sound of the diesel engine was deafening.

Through night vision binoculars, it can be clearly seen that people on the boat are using oil pumps to load cooking oil into oil tanks parked on the shore.

A total of one tanker truck and one van came.

Five or six men were talking in front of a tanker truck.

The oil tanker berthed at the dock is specially used to help the two grain and oil companies in the development zone transport edible oil to other places. Under normal circumstances, it will only transport edible oil out of the country and not to Binjiang.

Thinking about the huge losses of these oil tankers transporting edible oil in the past two years, Yang Yong quickly concluded that they were stealing and selling the "lost oil" intercepted during transportation so that they could continue to load and transport oil to grain and oil companies. There can be no other explanation.

Thinking of this, Yang Yong handed the night vision binoculars to Huang Jun, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the headquarters.

Comrade Lao Jia was on duty tonight. As soon as he answered the phone, he asked eagerly: "Yang Yong, is there something wrong?"

"Jia Da, I found a boat transporting cooking oil and a dozen men acting suspiciously at Changxing Pier in the development zone. They are probably 'oil rats'. I don't have enough manpower here."

"Changxing Pier, right?"

"Well, let's squat outside the dock."

"Don't act rashly. I will notify Xiao Gong and the others to provide support."

"Okay, tell them to hurry up, that tanker is almost full."

Jia Yongqiang is a veteran marine policeman. He was happy from the bottom of his heart when he had the opportunity to help his old unit. He motioned to Xiao Wu, an employee working the night shift with him, to quickly notify two nearby groups to provide support. He smiled and said: "Let the truck be filled when it is full." Come on, they can run away, but monks can't run away from the temple. As long as we catch one of them, we can follow the clues to find out who they are."

"I understand, but it's definitely better to be able to handle it all at once than to arrange for people to catch it later."

"Understood, I will contact Bureau Zhao immediately and ask Bureau Zhao to contact the Development Zone Branch and the Fourth Traffic Police Brigade to see if we can ask the Development Zone Bureau and the Fourth Traffic Police Brigade to assist in the interception."

"Do you want to inform Xianyu?"

"You just said it was cooking oil, not smuggled oil. Tell him what to do and let him have a good sleep."
