Riverside police

The arrest operation went smoothly and all eight persons involved were arrested.

However, the investigation of the case has just begun. Commissar Zhou and Wang Changjiang cannot escort the people involved in the case back for the time being. They have to search the companies involved overnight, seize official seals, contracts, accounts and documents related to import and export, and collect and fix evidence. .

At the same time, forces should be organized to search the homes of the eight persons involved overnight to prevent relatives of the persons involved from transferring stolen money.

Tomorrow morning, we will go to the bank to freeze the accounts of the companies involved and the people involved.

Han Yu is also busy in the East China Sea. He has to take notes for relevant personnel overnight and collect and fix evidence of import and export declarations by the companies involved in the East China Sea Customs.

After dawn, we need to contact and request experts from the Donghai Electronic Technology Research Institute to sign the props used by the company involved in tax fraud. We must find out what the "tax fraud props" are, what they are used for, and how much they are worth.

After these tasks are completed, a large flatbed truck will be used to transport the "tax fraud props" and the container back to Binjiang and store them in the goods yard under customs supervision.

Since the Smuggling Crime Branch was a newly established unit and had no experts in pre-trial, Li Weiguo was invited to join the task force. Jiang Xiaojun is responsible for guiding investigators to collect evidence, while Li Weiguo is responsible for guiding legal police to review evidence.

While the branch police were extremely busy, Chen Zikun, Xiaoyu and other Changhang officers, under the guidance of Jia Yongqiang and Wu Minde, former captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Dongqi Municipal Public Security Bureau, successfully captured a ship owner who was reselling "red oil", and in his inland river About 12 tons of "red oil" were seized from the cargo ship's oil tank.

According to regulations, as long as smuggling cases occur in Binjiang, they must be handed over to the Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch for investigation and handling. But the whole branch was busy investigating major cases, and it was hard to find investigators to take over for a while.

As soon as Han Yu received the call, he asked two seniors, Lao Jia and Lao Wu, to guide Xu Haoran to investigate first. If there was insufficient manpower, he would continue to ask the Changhang Branch or the Water Branch for assistance.

Comrade Lao Jia also believed that Xu Haoran needed the opportunity to stand alone and accompany Xu Haoran in interrogation.

"Li Dawei, see clearly, our policy is to be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist!"

Xu Haoran pointed to the slogan on the wall, looked at the ship owner and reminded: "Where does the 'red oil' come from? If you don't explain, the crew on your ship will also explain. Once the crew does, you will be passive."

The captain was in his early fifties, with a dark face and wrinkles on his forehead. He looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies.

Jia Yongqiang worked at the riverside police station before he was transferred to the Shuangshui Branch. He knew the situation of the boat people very well and knew that it was not easy to make money by running boats. He took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and began to persuade them earnestly.

"Li Dawei, I know you are a loyal person, but when you talk about loyalty, you need to consider the occasion, and you also need to think about who you should be loyal to. You have an elder and a younger son. The eldest son and the second son have started a family, and the younger son is not married yet. Well. You are the backbone of the family. If you go to jail for this matter, what will happen to the family?"

"..."

The captain looked up at the two of them, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing that his attitude had relaxed, Xu Haoran struck while the iron was hot and said: "From what we know, you just bought and used 'red oil'. Although you resold a little to your fellow villagers, you did not make any profit from it, you just helped your fellow villagers to bring it to you. Yes, as long as you cooperate, we can give you a lighter punishment."

The captain lowered his head and remained silent.

Jia Yongqiang realized that the person who sold him oil was not an ordinary oil dealer, or that he had an unusual relationship with the ship owner. He picked up his mobile phone to check the time and reminded: "Li Dawei, you are running a big ship, not a small one. If you don't listen to the advice, , if you don’t cooperate with the investigation, we will have no choice but to fight you.

If we can afford it, can you afford it? Think about it, if the boat is temporarily impounded by us, how much does it cost to anchor it on the riverside for a day? You are already in your late fifties, so you should be able to settle your accounts clearly. Don’t be at odds with anyone, let alone money, let alone yourself! "

"You don't want to say it, right? Forget it if you don't want to say it! I'll send you to the detention center right now, and go to the cell to reflect on it!" Xu Haoran didn't expect the ship owner to be so uncooperative, and he started banging the case.

The captain was startled, hesitated for a moment and said with a grimace: "I said, I will explain."

"That's right, just tell me."

"Oil... My nephew brought the oil for me."

"What's your nephew's name?"

"Gu Feng."

"A close nephew?"

"Um."

"How old is he?"

"Thirty-two."

"What does he do?"

"He is also a ship operator. He is a seafarer crew member."

…

At nine o'clock in the morning, Han Yu accompanied the experts from the research institute whom he contacted yesterday to unbox and inspect the "tax fraud props".

A total of four experts came, two middle-aged men and two young men.

They brought several instruments and equipment, but none of them were used.

As soon as Guo Weitao and Xiao Gong carefully moved the "tax fraud props" out of the wooden box, an expert recognized them as a set of medical testing equipment.

Most of the accompanying instruments are medical laboratory equipment.

It can barely be considered "advanced" in China, but it has long been outdated abroad, and judging from the date on the circuit board, it is likely to be second-hand.

"Gong Yang, you are an expert. Can you help me estimate how much these things are worth together?"

"Comrade Xiao Han, electronic equipment is updated very quickly, so it is difficult to estimate its value. Besides, we are a research institute, not a forensic appraisal agency. We cannot produce the kind of appraisal report that your police need. We can only help you see what it is. .”

"I'm talking about how much it's worth, and there's no need for an appraisal report."

"perhaps?"

Han Yu confirmed with a smile: "Well, according to the current market conditions."

Yang Gong pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "These are equipment that have been eliminated from abroad. I think they are worth twenty to thirty thousand dollars at most."

Han Yu asked: "Dollars or RMB?"

"Of course it's RMB."

"So it's almost like electronic waste!"

"You're right, this looks like a bunch of electronic waste to me."

Yang Gong pointed at the equipment arranged in a row, thought about it and smiled: "Last year, the customs seized a batch of electronic waste, which looked similar to these things. Those people imported these things and refurbished and sold the ones that could be refurbished, but not the ones that could not be refurbished and sold. They are resold to others to refine precious metals. If you refine it from circuit boards, you can imagine how polluted it is."

"Thank you, I understand."

"Comrade Xiao Han, just my personal opinion."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, we mainly want to have an idea."

…

Han Yu thanked him and sent several experts to the car. He, Guo Weitao and Xiao Gong were busy packing the moved equipment into boxes when Deputy Commissioner Ma suddenly called.

There is a landline phone in the goods yard, but I am not familiar with it and I am embarrassed to borrow it, so I can only answer it like this.

"Shimonoseki, we just sent the experts away, what are your instructions?"

"No instructions, just report a situation."

Deputy Commissioner Ma was on his way to Jiangcheng. He looked at the phone call record that Xiao Liu, the office police officer, had just made. He held up his mobile phone and said with a smile: "The political commissar and Wang Changjiang have made great progress and gained a lot. They have investigated the company involved in the case and Contracts and accounts in the past few years have found that the company involved in the case also reported high export prices for equipment sold to countries such as Thailand and Malaysia in order to defraud tax refunds. A total of 31 tickets were involved, with export goods worth 158 million yuan, suspected of defrauding exports. Tax refund of 26 million yuan."

Han Yu exclaimed: "So the tax refund they defrauded amounted to hundreds of millions!"

"The leaders of the General Administration and the General Bureau of Smuggling Crime Investigation were also shocked. They decided to list this case as a supervision case and asked us to recover the taxes in one go. I was on my way to Jiangcheng. Xu Guan and Hu Guan asked me to go to Jiangcheng for a meeting quickly. Donghai I’ll leave it to you.”

"yes!"

…

Han Yu put down his cell phone and reported the situation.

Guo Weitao and Xiao Gong were so excited that they couldn't believe that they were investigating a major case worth hundreds of millions.

However, Han Yu was not happy. He continued to work and said worriedly: "Those guys are so bold. They are defrauding the country's money, and they have defrauded so much. Hundreds of millions of taxes, what if we can't get them back?"

"Secretary Han, don't worry, they won't be able to squander that much even if they squander it every day."

"Yes, everyone has been caught. I don't believe they want money rather than their lives."

"Some people really want money rather than their lives."

"impossible."

"There is nothing impossible about this. As long as it doesn't lead to the death penalty, some people will really take chances."

Xiao Gong couldn't help but ask: "Is cheating hundreds of millions in taxes enough to warrant a death sentence?"

Han Yu sighed secretly and said with a wry smile: "A lot of smugglers have been arrested over the years, and a few of them were actually sentenced to death in the end."

Xiao Gong was stunned.

Guo Weitao didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Han Yu's cell phone rang again.

"You guys go ahead and let me answer the phone." Han Yu took out his phone again, glanced at the caller ID, then raised it to his ear and asked, "Brother Haoran, what's the matter?"

Xu Haoran didn't sleep all night, but he was not sleepy at all. He said excitedly: "Xianyu, we may have caught another big fish!"

"What big fish?"

"Li Dawei, the ship owner who resold the 'red oil' to the river cargo ship, spoke out. He confessed that the 'red oil' was sold to him by the captain's mate of the tanker his nephew was on at the Wusongkou anchorage. In order to obtain leniency, he Reported a tip.”

"What clue?"

“His nephew works for a shipping company in the South China Sea that specializes in transporting crude oil. He said that the oil tankers ‘Changshun 1’ and ‘Huanhai 6’ owned by that company are different from the ‘Nanshan’ and ‘Nanshan’ owned by a company in the South China Sea. The oil tanker 'Beishan' colluded with each other to steal and sell the crude oil transported by Sinopec."

Han Yu thought he heard wrongly and asked in surprise: "They stole the crude oil. Who did they sell the crude oil to?"

Xu Haoran said excitedly: "It is mainly shipped to Wusongkou and other places, and resold to Donghai and our small refineries in Jiangnan at a price of 2,700 yuan per ton."

This is no small matter. Han Yu asked: "How did Li Dawei know?"

"Transshipment to inland rivers requires small boats, and he helped contact the small oil tankers for transshipment."

"Does he know which small refineries buy crude oil from improper sources?"

"He knows three."

"Does his nephew know about his arrest?"

"You probably don't know. We caught him in the evening. There were not many boats on the river at that time."

"Okay, you continue the interrogation, I'll rush back right away, and I'll be home before dark at the latest!"
