Riverside police

At 5:30 p.m., Jiang Hechun, head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Changhang Branch, received a call from the Bureau, confirming that the leaders of the Ministry of Transportation had crossed the river to Guzhou. He immediately led nine police co-ops from the branch and Binjiang Police Station to the Maritime Safety Bureau again. The traffic control center monitors and monitors.

"The Gangster" hasn't committed a crime for more than a month.

It is not a bad thing that ships anchored in the riverside waters have not been stolen again, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the Changhang Shipping Bureau, which plans to take over the security of the Yangtze Riverside section, and the Water Public Security Bureau, which is actually responsible for the security of the Yangtze Riverside section.

If the suspect continues to commit crimes, even if he is not caught by the police stationed on guard, there will be clues left behind, which will definitely help the case to be solved. But if the suspect just goes away like this, the previous series of thefts may become unsolved cases over time!

If you can't even catch a water thief who commits crimes like crazy, what will the boat people think, and what will your superiors think?

Bureau Qi and Bureau Wang are under a lot of pressure. They had divided the labor as early as ten days ago. The Changhang Navigation Branch is responsible for supervising the monitoring of the Maritime Safety Administration, and the Water Branch is responsible for visiting and questioning enterprises and institutions along the line, and mobilizing staff at docks and locks along the line. Pay attention on your behalf.

Han Yu's intervention came later. The "temporary task force" formed by Han Yu, Xu Haoran, Zhao Hongxing, Liu Guixiang and the border inspection station chief of staff Li Jun was started from scratch.

The attitude of Bureau Qi and Bureau Wang is clear. Everything is focused on solving crimes. It is good to have a two-pronged approach. No matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!

Jiang Hechun never thought about competing with Han Yu's group. He was an old subordinate of Jiang Xiaojun, the former criminal investigation section chief of the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau. Speaking of which, he and Han Yu were not outsiders, and there was no need to compete.

Moreover, it is the end of the year and all work needs to be summarized.

What everyone is thinking about now is to solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise no one will have an easy life.

The reason why I came to the Maritime Safety Bureau to investigate the surveillance was because previous research and analysis showed that no matter how good the suspect was, he would not be able to stay in the water forever.

Judging from past experience, the suspect must have entered the water from the shore and must have come ashore after committing the crime. But it is not necessarily necessary to swim directly from the shore to the anchorage, and it is not necessarily necessary to swim directly back to the shore from the anchorage after completing the case.

In other words, there is probably a boat on the river to meet us!

The Maritime Safety Administration has installed many surveillance cameras in recent years, and they all monitor the river surface.

Because of this, Jiang Hechun organized forces to check the surveillance video of the Maritime Safety Administration based on the time of each theft case, looking for suspicious ships passing by during that time period, especially those "three noes" small boats.

Repeatedly checking the surveillance camera relies on both eyes. The surveillance video is a wide-angle lens, and the ship in the video is not very clear. It is difficult to figure out what kind of ship it is, and it is necessary to organize efforts to verify it. You can imagine how much workload this has.

Everyone came with instant noodles and planned to work overtime and stay up late.

While he was watching intently, the "old man" from the Binjiang Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment actually called.

He is also a detachment leader, but the criminal investigation detachment leader of the Binjiang City Public Security Bureau is not comparable to the criminal investigation detachment leader of the Changhang Branch. What's more, he just joined the bureau's party committee and is now the leader of the municipal bureau at the deputy director level.

Jiang Hechun did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly answered the phone and asked: "Wei Zhi, this is Jiang Hechun, do you have any instructions?"

"No one can instruct you. I'm asking for your help."

"What's up?"

Wei Zhi looked at the materials sent by his subordinates, held up the phone and said: "The serious crime team of our detachment has just solved a case of intentional injury. In order to gain lenient treatment, the suspect reported a clue that he was a thief."

Jiang Hechun subconsciously asked: "Is it involving our jurisdiction?"

"The suspect said that there was an employee at Binjiang Port who was watching over theft. He and others stole steel from the Pier 3 yard six months ago."

"half year ago?"

"Um."

"How much steel was stolen?"

"He doesn't know the specific situation. He only knows the suspect who was working with the employee. The serious crime team has already arrested him. When he is caught, he will be interrogated first. After confirming this, he will ask for your help to catch the mole in your jurisdiction. "

"Was there any steel theft at Pier 3 half a year ago? Binjiang Port didn't report it!"

"Whether there is such a thing or not, we will find out soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. If this happens, I'll take you to catch it."

Wei Zhi worked as the deputy director of criminal investigation in the Hong Kong District Bureau and knew the situation in Binjiang Port very well.

The port has such a large throughput and there are so many cargo yards, especially for goods such as steel and coal. If more than ten or twenty tons of goods were stolen, the person in charge of the terminal may really be kept in the dark, and even the owner of the goods may not know. Even if they knew about it, they would not bother to report it because it would be too troublesome to report it. They would simply treat it as loss during transportation.

Thinking again of what the technical brigade had mentioned when reporting their work a few days ago, Wei Zhi asked curiously: "He Chun, have there been several thefts on the river? Has an outer ship been robbed?"

"We are investigating this matter." Jiang Hechun couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Any idea?"

"Not yet."

Wei Zhi put down the materials and asked, "Do you want our help?"

Jiang Hechun couldn't afford to lose that person, so he said without hesitation: "Wei Zhi, the situation on the river is different from that on the shore. I understand your kindness. Let's think of a solution."

"Okay, there are specialties in the art industry, and we really can't help with Jiang Shang's matter."

As long as a case occurs in Binjiang, regardless of whether it is under the jurisdiction of Binjiang Public Security Bureau or not, the Criminal Investigation Detachment cannot sit idly by. After all, it will not be solved for a long time, and it will ultimately affect Binjiang's image.

Wei Zhi still felt uneasy after thinking about it and asked: "Does Xianyu know about this series of thefts that happened on the river?"

"I know, he is also thinking of a way."

"As long as Xianyu knows, if you need to talk to me if you have anything else, we can't be of much help, but we have technical police."

"Thank you Weizhi, I won't be polite to you if necessary."

"Okay, hang up first."

…

At the same time, Zhao Hongxing, Liu Guixiang, and Xiao Gong, accompanied by Director Huang, drove hurriedly to a branch port on the river.

The police at the station had been waiting for a long time. They climbed ashore with a fisherman in his sixties and said eagerly: "Suo Huang, he is Tang Hai. The situation I reported on the phone was provided by him!"

The police car is too small to accommodate so many people.

The fishing boats in the port are not big, and so many people boarding the boats are likely to overturn the small fishing boats.

Director Huang simply took out a cigarette and handed one over, and then understood the situation on the shore: "Comrade Old Tang, when did you see someone climb up the shore from the river and get into a van?"

"August 27th."

"It's been several months, how come you remember it so clearly?"

The fisherman came to Zhao Hongxing's lighter, lit the cigarette, took two puffs, and said in a positive tone:

"School started on September 1st, and my eldest son came to pick up the child on the 27th. I sent my grandson ashore and stayed here overnight. That's what I saw that night."

Director Huang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "What time did you see it at night?"

"I don't have a watch, so I don't know what time it is."

"Is it the first half of the night or the second half of the night?"

"Midnight."

The old fisherman took several puffs of cigarette and explained: "As I get older, I can't sleep when I wake up. I remember that it was almost dawn soon after the car drove away."

The last theft case that occurred in Jiangmian in the jurisdiction was late at night on August 27. And the water area where the crime occurred is just upstream of this branch port, less than two kilometers away.

The time is right!

The location is right too!

Director Huang was extremely excited. After thinking about it, he asked, "Have you seen what that person looks like?"

"No," the old fisherman pointed to the other side of the branch and said with a grimace, "He's on the shore over there. It's far away, and it's night, so he can't see clearly. He can only see the figure."

Yangzhou dialect and Jiangcheng dialect have similar accents. They both belong to the Jianghuai language family and are not as difficult to understand as Binjiang dialect.

Zhao Hongxing heard the general idea and was extremely excited. He couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Old Tang, how did you discover that person?"

"Before going to bed at night, I lowered the net there. As I fell asleep, I heard the splashing sound of water outside. I thought there was a big fish. When I got up and took a look, it turned out to be a human being! It scared me. It scared me. Don’t dare to say anything.”

"Where is the car parked?"

"There, I'll take you to see it."

"Okay, please."

Everyone followed the old fisherman around the branch port and arrived at the parking spot late at night at the end of August.

Director Huang looked around and asked: "Old Tang, you stayed here overnight that day. You should know when the car came, right?"

"I don't know." The old fisherman scratched his neck and pointed to the dirt road down the slope and said, "It's so remote here. You can't usually see cars. When I sent my grandson ashore in the afternoon, there was no one around, let alone cars. "

"So the car came at night?"

"Definitely is."

"What kind of car is it?"

"The van is white. There was a moon that night. I could see it clearly!"

"Is there anyone in the car?"

"There must be someone, and the car can't drive away even if there is no one."

"I mean besides the man who climbed ashore, is there anyone else?"

"I don't know. It's too far away to see clearly."

Director Huang thought for a while and then asked: "Old Tang, did the man climb up the shore, get in and drive away, or did he wait for a while and then drive away?"

The old fisherman recalled the strange things he saw that night and said: "I waited for a while to leave. I guess it took me two cigarettes to wait."

"Which way are you going?" Liu Guixiang quickly took out a cigarette and handed another one to the old fisherman.

The old fisherman took the cigarette and said with a smile: "If you go north, your car can only go north. There is a big river to the east, and there is no way to the west."

…

Sometimes solving crimes really depends on timing.

As for visits and inquiries, Director Huang once organized the police and joint defense team members of the institute to visit, but it was only at the end of July, and the old fishermen who were wandering around were not in this branch of the port at that time.

Unexpectedly, when I visited and inquired again after a few months, I actually met an old fisherman and collected an important clue!

Judging from the information currently available, the suspect should have committed the crime alone. He had visited the spot beforehand and had a white minivan as a means of transportation. He swam from the shore to the anchorage to commit the crime. After committing the crime, he swam to the shore, climbed up, and drove away.

There is no road along the river like Binjiang here.

This stretch of the Yangtze River coastline has not been developed, and there is nothing for seven or eight kilometers from east to west.

This port is usually inaccessible. Not to mention outsiders, even people from the next few villages may not be able to find it.

It can be seen that the suspect is very familiar with this area and is probably a local!

Director Huang quickly asked the old fishermen to get into the police car so that Zhao Hongxing and Liu Guixiang could take notes for the old fishermen. Then he walked aside and took out his mobile phone to call Instructor Liu, asking Instructor Liu to immediately recall the visiting policemen and joint defense team members outside to target the police just now. Investigate the suspect's situation as soon as possible.
