Tiger Police

Chapter 146 The weight is wrong
Hu Pingtao raised his finger and pointed to the truck parked on the electronic channel in the distance, his brows were still tightened: "There seems to be something wrong with that car."

Liu Guangbei turned his head to look over there, and said, "Didn't you just read the manifest and said it was all right?"

"No..." Hu Pingtao said hastily: "There is no problem with the declaration form, but I think the weight of the car is a bit abnormal."

"The weight of the car?" Hearing this, Wang Dong, who was standing on the side, also turned to look there, especially paying attention to the red numbers on the electronic display, and asked suspiciously: "I don't think there is any problem! The weight is normal."

There is a thick list of goods at the border inspection station, and the entry of macadamia nuts is also among them.In order to speed up customs inspection and review, border inspectors have to memorize the different depths of fuel tanks of various types of vehicles (oil-containing temporary inspection items), as well as the weight of various goods.

Experienced frontier inspectors can tell whether there is any private goods in it just by looking at the weighing numbers of the trucks.

This is an important basis for the third inspection and even the fourth inspection.

Stationmaster Liu Guangbei also shook his head and said, "I can't see anything unusual. According to the data reported on the manifest, the weight is within the normal range. It's neither overweight nor underweight."

Wang Dong turned around, gave Hu Pingtao a bad look, and said unhappily, "There is nothing wrong with that car. Young man, don't scare me."

He sounded like a lecturer.

Hu Pingtao did not answer, he contemplated for a moment, then strode towards the weighing channel.When he walked to Liu Guangbei's side, he deliberately pulled the other person's arm and said hastily, "Station Master, hurry up and call people for an armed inspection."

Liu Guangbei was stunned: "Xiaohu, this kind of thing is not a joke. We must not let go of the problem, but there are so many cars in the back, and the armed inspection is very troublesome. If there is no evidence, it will be in vain. It was a waste of time."

This means a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the on-board cargo.Different from the extensive initial inspection, the armed inspection first detains the cargo owner and driver, and the inspection of the cargo is more detailed.

Hu Pingtao pulled him away, and explained in a low voice: "The batch of macadamia nuts they declared is macadamia nuts. The largest macadamia nut production place in the world is in Australia. Annan didn't have this kind of thing before. Later, it began to be transplanted, but only In terms of quality, it is very different from Australian products."

Liu Guangbei asked in surprise, "Do you have any research on this?"

"I have read some related books and materials." Hu Pingtao's tone was humble, but his feet did not slow down: "Australia is the origin of macadamia nuts, and the fruit trees have grown there for hundreds of years, although the time for large-scale planting is not long. , but the quality is very good. Fruit trees pay attention to long-term cultivation of good varieties, especially the high-quality fruit produced in the place where the original species grows, which is very different from cultivation in other places. Let’s say this macadamia nut! The shell of the Australian variety is thinner, and the shape is more regular and smooth. Therefore, the kernel yield has reached over 36%, which is four percentage points higher than that of varieties from other places.”

"To put it simply, macadamia nuts produced in Australia are fuller and heavier than macadamia nuts produced in other places. I have read the commonly used goods sorting catalog issued above, and the weight of macadamia nuts is fixed on it. But that catalog was made the year before last, and the weighing samples used at that time were not from Annan, but macadamia nuts from Australia.”

Wang Dong followed behind, and when he heard these words, his face was surprised, shocked, and more vigilant and defensive.

Liu Guangbei was both surprised and delighted: "Xiaohu, you are not bad! You even know this."

The three of them had already arrived in front of the car, and without hesitation, Liu Guangbei immediately issued the order for an armed inspection.A number of armed inspectors guarding the cordon immediately surrounded the truck, pulled the cargo owner and driver out of the cab, replaced them in the cab, and drove the car out of the passage to the square outside.

Two high-power searchlights shot from different directions, illuminating the area as bright as day.

The cargo owner and driver were detained in the next room, and they kept shouting at the top of their lungs, "Our cargo is fine."

If there is any problem, check it out.

Hu Pingtao led several inspectors to open the tailgate of the carriage and unload the sacks filled with macadamia nuts one by one.While checking, he explained to Liu Guangbei.

"The total number of goods in this truck is [-] pieces (bags). Strictly speaking, the macadamia nuts produced in Annan are not much different from the single ones produced in Australia. But the accumulation of so many fruits weighs a lot Than. To put it simply, the fruit produced by Annan is lighter."

"All the on-board goods are filled in the customs declaration form, including vehicle maintenance tools and spare parts. The fuel tank surface has passed three quarters, indicating that they have refueled before entering the customs. Passed the initial inspection and re-inspection, indicating that There is nothing wrong with the vehicle itself."

"If it is a normal foreign trade product, normal numbers will appear on the weighing and remarks. However, the commonly used product sorting catalog we use is frequently used and has many contacts. As long as you are willing, it is not difficult to get a copy. .The weight of the macadamia nuts that should have been reduced is replaced by something else, even deliberately increased."

Liu Guangbei nodded again and again: "In this way, you won't see any problems when you pass the weighing."

Hu Pingtao opened a pack of macadamia nuts, checked and said: "Yes, as long as the weight matches the catalog, they have achieved their goal. But they neglected the most important detail—the origin of this batch of macadamia nuts." Annan, not Australia."

Just as he was talking, the drug-sniffing dog next to him suddenly jumped into the car, got into the mountain of cargo bags, clawed at a sack that was under it, and barked wildly.

"Xiaohu, you are right, there is indeed a problem with this truck!"

Liu Guangbei looked happy, and hurriedly urged the inspectors on the car: "Quickly, unload all the goods in the parking lot."

According to the experience of the Chinese New Year, the bottom bag is usually the easiest to find private collections.

A total of six sacks were unloaded.Hu Pingtao held scissors in his hand, and before cutting the tether, he squatted down and smelled it.

"Coconut oil was smeared on the outside of the bag, no wonder it wasn't found during the initial inspection."

Macadamia nuts have a coconut fragrance, and the outer packaging is coated with coconut oil with the same smell, which misleads the drug detection dogs.If you don't move some of the goods that are on top, even dogs with a keen sense of smell will find it difficult to detect the abnormality.

Liu Guangbei picked up the special metal "key" for macadamia nuts, and unscrewed the hard shell of a fruit, revealing a small plastic bag stuffed inside, filled with white powder.

"It really is heroin." His expression suddenly became serious, and he turned his head and told Wang Dong, the deputy station chief who was standing beside him: "Old Wang, let the people from the third and fourth teams come over and dismantle this car. Don't let it go."

Dismantling a car, this is one of the necessary skills at the border checkpoint - at most one hour, the whole car will become a part state.

Heroin is lighter than macadamia nuts.At the bottom of the carriage, inspectors found several cardboard boxes containing mineral water.

This is the object used to pressurize the warehouse.

Hu Pingtao picked up a macadamia nut and looked at it carefully against the side light.

The "manufacturing" process of the fruit is very delicate. There is a line on the side that is hard to see unless you look closely. The two halves of the shell are pressed together tightly. It is estimated that some kind of glue is used for bonding in the middle.

Looking at the macadamia nut that Hu Pingtao handed over, Liu Guangbei couldn't help taking a deep breath: "This thing is so exquisitely made. Xiaohu, look here, the tangent line is smooth and neat, obviously it was cut by a machine. The glued edges fit together It was just right, probably after putting the heroin bag in and waiting for the glue to dry, then sanding the adhesive gap outside the shell."

Although Wang Dong, the deputy station master, has prejudices against Hu Pingtao, he is never confused about major issues.Wang Dong leaned over from the side, stared at the macadamia nut in Liu Guangbei's hand, frowned and said, "If a nutshell is to achieve this level, it must be absolutely refined. Also, the one containing drugs Plastic bags are also particular. First of all, they should not be too thick, otherwise it will affect the quantity of drug shipments; second, they should not be too thin, and the seal must be tight. Once it leaks during transportation, especially at our border checkpoint I'm throwing myself into a trap."

Liu Guangbei looked serious: "These drug traffickers are all desperadoes. They will do anything for money. But this time it really reminds us that the previous experience is very useful, but it cannot be applied to In any way. Thanks to Xiaohu today, otherwise once this car is put in, it will be difficult to investigate and arrest."

……

In the past night, the Xiluo border checkpoint was boiling.

The way drug traffickers use macadamia nuts for disguised trafficking is brand new, and the drugs hidden in each fruit have been weighed.This facilitates the off-line drug trafficking in the later stage of packaging and trading, saves the previous secondary packaging process, and has stronger camouflage and deception.

Coconut oil was smeared on the outside of all the sacks loaded with goods, and the strong smell blocked the olfactory search of drug detection dogs.Although two random inspections were carried out, no problems were found with the goods that were pressed on the bottom layer of the carriage.

The amount of heroin seized in the entire vehicle exceeded [-] kilograms.

The Xiluo border checkpoint is an important gateway on the southwest border.Although it is only a department-level unit, it has hundreds of personnel under its jurisdiction, and it can also get the cooperation of the local garrison.Its role, in addition to guarding the country's gates, also has multiple aspects such as combating regional and regional crimes and maintaining law and order.

Countless people enter the customs from here every day.

Everyone wants to get rich.

The idea of ​​"go out and recite heroin once, and you will be rich for a lifetime when you come back" is deeply ingrained in the minds of many people.

Taking last year as an example, the total amount of drugs seized at the Xiluo border checkpoint throughout the year exceeded [-] kilograms.

The year with the largest amount of drugs seized in history, with a total of three tons.

Now the market price of heroin in the mainland is about 150 yuan per gram, and in some places it is even as high as 4000 yuan.Based on this calculation, the total price of this batch of drugs exceeded [-] million.

The one-time seizure of [-] kilograms of heroin was an exciting victory anyway.

Liu Guangbei, the station master, couldn't take a break, and contacted the provincial department overnight, asking them to send someone down to sort out the case, follow the clues, and expand the results of the battle.

Although border inspection and anti-narcotics belong to the public security system, their functions are different.There are specialties in the art industry, and everyone performs their duties.

Dawn is early in the tropics.Before seven o'clock, many off-duty border inspection station police officers came to the temporary inspection square, discussing endlessly around the truck that had been dismantled into parts.

"These people really thought it out, and stuffed drugs into the nutshell... Tsk tsk tsk, what can they do with such brains, they have to sell drugs."

"The shell is so fine inside and out! My son plays with Gundam models, and the glue has to be polished after it dries. These drug dealers do the same thing. If you don't take it out and check it carefully one by one. , I really can’t see it.”

"I heard that Liu Zhan and Wang Zhan were on duty last night. They were old border inspectors, and they didn't see any problem. It was the new captain, the one named Hu Pingtao, who found out the weight when the truck was being weighed. No, an armed inspection was called at that time, and then the car was impounded."

"You're talking about Captain Tiger of Team Seven? I think he's pretty good! The last time we patrolled in a mixed formation, Team Six and Team Seven went together. When we crossed the southern mountain ridge, he also helped others carry equipment. Two backpacks, Each was six kilograms, and he carried two bags by himself and walked five kilometers in one breath."

Sacks were spread out on the square, and people in police uniforms took various instruments to test the seized items, and took pictures in sequence for archiving.After all this is done, the macadamia nuts loaded with heroin are collected and sent to the warehouse in the station by special personnel, waiting for the next step of inspection.

Holding the opened folder, Hu Pingtao recorded the seized items one by one.

Liu Guangbei and Wang Dong stood in front of the crossing rail not far away, watching him busy back and forth.

Wang Dong looked a little unhappy: "Old Liu, Hu Pingtao has just arrived, so it's not appropriate for you to let him take care of the records now?"

Liu Guangbei smiled and said, "If Xiaohu hadn't noticed something wrong with this truck, we wouldn't have gotten the credit."

He didn't answer the question directly, but the answer was enough.

Wang Dong frowned, without changing his expression: "Even so, you should arrange for him to be accompanied by an old man in the station. Young people, there must be a learning process. Besides, even if he can No matter how good it is, it has to be done in order. Reaching the sky in one step is not a good thing, not to mention there are so many people watching below."

This made Liu Guangbei feel very uncomfortable.He is an easy-going person, he frowned slightly, then let go, and said with a cheerful smile: "Old Wang, you think too much. Although Hu Pingtao is young, he is very meticulous in his work. Youth is a good thing, no Experience is not afraid, as long as they are given the opportunity, anything is possible."

He is cheerful and open-minded.

Wang Dong was very stubborn and didn't change his mind at all: "It's easy to say, but what if something goes wrong?"

This is not so much stubbornness as it is preposterous.Although Liu Guangbei was a good old man, he was still a little bit embarrassed by Wang Dong's strong rhetoric, so he immediately lowered his face and stared at him with a frown.
