Riverside police

At 4:12 p.m., Qi Bureau personally called and said that the leaders of the China Shipping Bureau had requested leave through the Ministry of Transportation.

Immediately afterwards, Han Yu received a call from Commander Wang of the military division.

Commander Wang hated the fact that iron could not make steel, so he cursed a lot on the phone, and finally conveyed the news from the military region that he had agreed to his request for leave.

At 4:31, a police car arranged by the entire bureau arrived at the family area of ​​the Meteorological Bureau.

Han Yu picked up his luggage, got into the police car, and rushed to Jiangcheng.

Han Xiangning set off first and arrived at Jiangcheng first.

Transfer to a car from the Jiangcheng Maritime Safety Bureau and rush to the riverside, then transfer to a transport boat again and rush to a tugboat to report.

As expected, the old leaders Tang Ju and Huang Yuanchang are both on the tugboat, but they are not leaders now. The leaders in charge of safety at the provincial and municipal levels and the leaders of the Maritime Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Transport are all there, but they can only stand aside.

"Comrade Ren S, Director Mei, Comrade Han Xiangning has arrived."

"Hello, leaders, Han Xiangning of Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau is here to report, please give instructions!" Han Xiangning calmed down and raised his hand in salute.

It's not easy to give orders if you're not one of your own subordinates.

Deputy Director S Ren nodded and turned to look at Deputy Director Mei of the Maritime Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation.

Deputy Director Mei had read the investigation report on the Sino-South Korean freighter collision reported by the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau, and was deeply impressed by Han Xiangning, who presided over the accident investigation. However, he did not expect that Han Xiangning was so young, and he did not expect that Han Xiangning was so beautiful that he was embarrassed to stare at it. .

"Comrade Han Xiangning, you came just in time. The search and rescue work is coming to an end. The accident investigation must be launched quickly. Please do your hard work and report to the investigation team immediately."

"yes!"

"Lao Tang, take Comrade Han Xiangning to the investigation team."

Han Xiangning and the old leader took a transport boat back to the shore and rushed to the brightly lit dock office. Only then did they realize that Jiangcheng's investigation team was much larger than Binjiang's accident investigation team.

Members come from several units.

Not only cadres from the Jiangnan Maritime System, but also cadres from the Provincial Department of Transportation and Jiangcheng City, as well as police from the Water Branch of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau and the Jiangcheng Branch of the Changhang Public Security Bureau participated in the investigation.

Tang Bureau coughed dryly and announced: "Comrades, let me introduce, this is Comrade Han Xiangning, the security inspection section chief of Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau. The superiors have decided that I will concurrently serve as the leader of the accident investigation team, and Comrade Han Xiangning will serve as the deputy leader of the accident investigation team. .”

The leader takes the lead in grasping the overall situation, but is not responsible for specific work.

It can be seen that the next investigation will be decided by this young and beautiful lesbian from Binjiang.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't believe this was true.

Tang Bureau didn't care whether the people in front of him were convinced or not, and the accident investigation was not a matter of competition. He said with a straight face: "Time is urgent. Now is not the time to be polite. Please introduce yourself, and then hurry up and formulate an investigation plan. "

"Yes!" Han Xiangning responded and turned to look at the middle-aged cadre at the front.

The middle-aged cadre reacted and said quickly: "Comrade Xiang Ning, my name is Li Yongjun, from Jiangcheng Maritime Safety Bureau. Our Bureau Huang often mentioned you to us, and during the meeting some time ago, he even said that he would take us to your place to visit and study."

A familiar figure squeezed out from the corner and said with a smile: "Squad leader, we meet again. You can give orders on how to investigate."

"Jiang Ke, Team Leader Han is your squad leader?"

"We went to Hanwu for training together a few years ago, and Xiang Ning was the monitor of our training class."

"Team Leader Han, long time no see." A policeman from Changhang Branch came over, smiled and raised his hand in salute.

I am also somewhat impressed by this guy.

I met Zhang Ju when he and Saner came to Jiangcheng to see him. Han Xiangning quickly returned the greeting: "Hello Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi, is Zhang Ju okay?"

"Director Zhang was searching and rescuing on the river. A passenger was missing. The superior asked to see the person alive or dead or his body."

As soon as Deputy Captain Yang of the Public Security Detachment of Changhang Jiangcheng Branch finished speaking, a eldest sister in her early forties came up to her and asked with a smile: "Xiao Han, do you still remember me?"

"It looks familiar, but I just can't remember it." Han Xiangning looked embarrassed.

"It's normal that I can't remember. The summer before last year, I went to your unit to attend an on-site meeting. There were so many leaders there, and you had to receive and explain. You were so busy that you couldn't remember my small role."

"Excuse me……"

"It doesn't matter, my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Meili. I used to work at the Zhenjiang Port Supervision Bureau, and I was just transferred to the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau this year."

The Jiangnan maritime system is not big, and by chatting, we can quickly build relationships.

The local cadres were not familiar with the maritime system. When they saw that the cadres of the maritime system all recognized Han Xiangning as the deputy team leader, they all came forward to introduce themselves, shake hands and say hello.

When Han Xiangning saw that Tang Bureau had gone out to answer the phone again, she didn't dare to greet everyone anymore and asked: "Jiang Ke, Director Wang, where are the two boats?"

"One was towed back to the shipyard, and the other was towed to Jiangcheng Port Pier 4."

"Where's the crew?"

"They are all on the boat." Deputy Captain Liu of the Changhang Navigation Branch paused and added: "We and the Water Branch have arranged for police to be on duty on the boat in accordance with the instructions from our superiors."

Han Xiangning weighed it up and said in a consultative tone: "Everyone, how about we divide into five groups, one group goes to the two docks to survey the damage to the two ships; the other group goes to the traffic control center to retrieve the call recording at that time; The other two groups went to verify the ship and crew certificates respectively, and asked the crew members of the two ships about the situation when the accident occurred."

"Where is another group?" a local cadre raised his hand and asked.

"Not all the passengers who were transferred ashore should have left. It is clear that we can't just listen to the crew of the two ships. We also need to find out the situation from the passengers who were on the passenger ship at the time." Han Xiangning paused and added: "There should be ships sailing at that time. Passing through the accident waters, if we can find those ships that passed through the accident waters, we will also find the crew members of those ships to understand the situation."

"OK."

Xiao Wu, secretary of the Tang Bureau, also participated in the accident investigation and immediately handed over a list of members of the investigation team: "Team Leader Han, please look at the division of labor."

The list is very detailed, including name, gender, age, unit, position, major, everything that should be included.

Han Xiangning quickly determined the division of labor among the five investigation teams based on the investigation tasks to be carried out and the expertise of the team members.

…

Just when Han Xiangning went to investigate the damage to the ship with the first team, Han Yu rushed to the Changhang Jiangcheng Branch and rushed to the dock under the leadership of Deputy Director Yu of the branch.

After a brief communication with the Liushenwuzhu deputy manager Zhang of the Hanwu Yangtze River Passenger Transport Company, he boarded the passenger ship with an old captain sent by the Hanwu Yangtze River Company.

The Changhang officers on duty on the boat did not stop him, and the officers from the Jiangcheng Water Public Security Bureau had nothing to say.

Han Yu didn't bother to say hello to his fellow marine police officers. He took the flashlight from a crew member and looked at the damaged area first. Then he climbed up to the third-floor cab and first asked the captain with a sad look on his face to understand the situation.

"Lao Gu, Section Chief Han is one of our own, you can say whatever you want." The old captain who came from the company felt it was inappropriate to say the words, and quickly added: "You have to face things when they happen, even when facing the investigation team. Say what you have to say.”

"OK."

The captain is responsible for the entire ship.

It’s normal to be scared out of your wits after an accident.

Han Yu took a deep breath, turned on the radar and checked whether it was normal, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Gu, first tell me what happened."

The captain raised his head and took a peek, and said anxiously: "Yesterday was the 111th voyage of our Jianghan 21 ship. It sailed from Jiangcheng to the East China Sea and set sail from Jiangcheng Port Pier 6 at 4:30 in the afternoon."

Han Yu adjusted a few gears, adjusted the range, confirmed that the radar was normal, turned off the radar and picked up the weather forecast record on the bridge.

When the captain saw that the police officer invited by the company leader actually looked at the weather information first, he became even more panicked and said with a grimace: "There was fog on the river at that time, and the visual distance was about five to six hundred meters."

"Can you see the Yangtze River Bridge when you set sail from the pier and turn around and go down?" Han Yu asked directly the key point.

The captain realized that he was an expert.

If you don't know how to do it, you won't know that the bow of the passenger ship docks against the current, and you have to turn around first if you want to sail downstream.

He took several deep breaths and said tremblingly: "I can't see clearly."

"Have you reported to Jiangcheng Traffic Control Center to request to cross the bridge?"

"Reported."

"Does the traffic control officer agree?"

"The traffic control did not agree."

Although the passenger ship did not hit the Yangtze River Bridge, and the accident did not occur under the Yangtze River Bridge, it is different when the responsibility is investigated. If you had listened to the traffic control command and temporarily crossed the bridge, you would not have collided with the freighter on trial voyage. This exists. Causal relationship.

Han Yu couldn't believe this was true. He was stunned for a while and then asked: "Then what?"

"We are a passenger ship and cannot be delayed all the time. I thought it would be okay to drive slower, so I crossed the bridge first."

"Disobeying traffic control instructions and crossing the bridge in fog."

"..."

The captain was speechless.

Deputy Manager Zhang and the old captain who came to deal with the accident were so angry that they wanted to give the captain a slap in the face.

Han Yu didn't expect this to be the case from the beginning. He sighed secretly and said while looking at the waterway map: "Continue."

"Oh," the captain didn't dare to raise his head, he just hung his head and said, "At 5:20, the first mate took over my duty. I don't know what happened next. I directly collided with the cargo ship on trial voyage."

How they called for help after the collision, and how they organized the transfer of more than 700 people on the passenger ship, although very important, are not the focus of Han Yu's investigation. He asked the captain to go back to his cabin first, and asked the police from Changhang Jiangcheng Branch to call the first mate to the driver's seat. room.

The top priority is to figure out what's going on. Hanwu's superiors need to know what's going on. They are all waiting for news.

Han Yu didn't even bother to ask for his name and directly asked what happened.

"I...when I took over, the ship's position...crossed the river at Wulong Temple." The first mate was trembling with fear, and his voice was trembling.

"How many meters was the sight distance at that time?"

"About 500 meters."

Han Yu picked up the meteorological information again. The first mate was startled and said quickly: "With it open, the visibility is even worse. When we passed the Taiping river sign, we couldn't see the nearby bank shape clearly. From the radar, it was 500 meters away from the south bank." rice."

Han Yu put down the meteorological information and picked up the waterway map again: "How long did it take to sail from the Wulongmiao River Marker to the Taiping River Marker?"

"Eight or nine minutes."

The collision occurred in waters downstream of the Tai Ping River Marker.

While calculating the speed of the passenger ship at that time, Han Yu looked at the channel map and asked: "What time is the Daizizhou shore mark?"

"6:05."

"What's the heading?"

"Heading 055."

Han Yu opened his briefcase, took out the water regime information that Changhang Jiangcheng Branch had helped find, and asked, "What kind of vehicle was used?"

Beads of sweat as big as soybeans appeared on the first mate's forehead. He was silent for a moment and then said in a mosquito-like voice: "The car is entering four."

There was such heavy fog on the river and the visibility was so poor.

Not only did he not obey the traffic control instructions, he also drove down quickly in the heavy fog.

Sailing in fog is so dangerous, the captain should be on duty on the bridge, but he actually takes over the duty with the first officer.

The first mate was also irresponsible. He knew that the visibility was very poor and he should sail slowly. However, based on what he said and the water conditions at the time, the speed at that time actually reached 22 kilometers per hour!

Han Yu has a big head, secretly thinking that you have a sense of crisis and want to send passengers to the East China Sea on time. This is understandable, but you cannot sail the ship like this.

People would die if they did this, and they did!

If you fail to live up to your expectations, if the Yangtze River Passenger Transport is suspended due to this accident, several major Yangtze River Passenger Transport companies close down, and tens of thousands of cadres and workers are laid off, can you guys shoulder this responsibility and be worthy of more than 20,000 colleagues?

Han Yu saw Deputy Manager Zhang and the old captain gnashing their teeth in anger, and he wanted to slap the first mate twice. He suppressed his anger and asked, "What next?"

"After passing Daizizhou, one kilometer downstream of Daizizhou, I adjusted the course to 035, and then heard on Channel 6 that there was a boat in Zhengyi Waterway preparing to paddle to the opposite Wuyuzhou anchorage to anchor."

"Have you called the other party, confirmed the location, and discussed how to avoid it?"

"I looked at the radar and didn't see the ship. I called on the radio and got no response."

"How many kilometers did the radar range at that time?"

"At four kilometers, I thought the ship was far away, so I adjusted the radar range to two kilometers. If I still didn't see it, I continued sailing."

When he heard on the radio that there was a ship ahead that was about to cross the Yangtze River, but he didn't see it on the radar and there was no response to the call, he didn't slow down. He even overtook a ship that was also launched while sailing at the original speed.

At 6:16 in the evening of the same day, we sailed to the Wuyuzhou buoy No. 9, adjusted the course to 035 and continued downward. We found from the radar that there was a boat on the water near Zhangzi Port downstream, crossing the Yangtze River from south to north, 2000 meters away. rice.

Because the radar echo was large, he initially thought it was a fleet of ships or a large ocean liner.

Called channel 6, still no contact.

At 6:18, while passing the special buoy No. 2 of Yihua Anchorage, he found that the other party was 8 degrees to the port side. However, the radar echo disappeared when it was 1,000 meters away. He thought that the echo was a false echo and stopped observing the radar.

When they were discovered again, the two ships were only 100 meters apart. There was no time to avoid them, and the two ships collided at a large angle...

After Han Yuzai carefully asked what measures were taken when the discovery was made, what kind of vehicle was used, and whether the course was adjusted, he asked the Changhang Branch Police to send the first mate back to the crew cabin.

Deputy Manager Zhang asked eagerly: "Han Ke, what do you think?"

"Disobeying traffic control instructions, speeding in foggy weather, monitoring a boat rowing in front of the river, and failing to detect the target in the four-kilometer range of the radar. Instead of using the radar to observe correctly and continuously as required, the range was switched to the two-kilometer range. Two The ships were more than two kilometers apart at the time, and the radio said it clearly, and you couldn't find it no matter how you observed it using the two-kilometer gear!"

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "After discovering the echo one kilometer away, we did not pay close attention to it, nor did we report the ship's movements. We still descended quickly and missed the safe avoidance opportunity."

Deputy Manager Zhang turned to look at the old captain.

The old captain nodded helplessly.

Deputy Manager Zhang became anxious and asked with furrowed brows: "Do we have a big responsibility?"

"If what the first mate just said is true, then the other party is also responsible. He called many times but the other party did not answer. As for who is more responsible and who is less responsible, it will be analyzed based on the results of further investigation."

As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, there were footsteps outside.

The three of them looked up and saw that a joint investigation team from the maritime department and local government had arrived.

…

PS: Many brothers and sisters don’t understand Xianyu’s refusal to attend the ceremony. Let me explain it here.

At that time, the Yangtze River passenger transport was already in a slump. Such an accident would cause the suspension of Yangtze River passenger ships. Several major Yangtze River passenger transport companies had more than 20,000 employees. As someone who came from the port and shipping system, it was normal for Xianyu to worry about the suspension of Yangtze River passenger transport.

Compared with going to see the military parade, for those of them who eat on the Yangtze River, this is a big deal.

Later, passenger transportation on the Yangtze River was stopped across the board, and passenger ships were no longer seen on the river. Tens of thousands of people were laid off, and the lives of tens of thousands of families changed...

Moreover, the Changhang Public Security Bureau at that time was mainly responsible for the security of passenger terminals and passenger ships. Passenger ships are suspended and passenger terminals are closed. What do so many CCA police officers do?

For someone like Xianyu who has worked in the Changhang Public Security System, this matter is really important!
