Riverside Police.

Chapter 103
The weather forecast was very accurate, and it snowed heavily at night.

When I woke up, there were still snowflakes in the sky, and when I looked around, there was a vast expanse of whiteness.

After returning from the East China Sea, the coastline patrol came to an end, and the office became very busy. The director and instructor went out early and returned late every day. Sometimes there was no one for a day or two. I don’t know what they were busy with.

Lao Zhang is in charge of daily work, stays in the institute every day, and has been on duty for eight consecutive days.

Han Yu is responsible for all work related to the ship, and Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen and Liang Xiaoyu are formally incorporated into the law enforcement and rescue fleet of the Yanjiang Police Station.

The four of them had to make final preparations for entering the Yangtze River, and seized the time to familiarize themselves with the barge's machinery, electrical equipment, lighting signals and alarm systems, and at the same time maintain 001 and 002.

In short, if you want to keep the three boats in the best condition, there are things to do every day.

But the first task this morning is to clear the snow. First, we will work together to clear the snow in the yard and the gate, and then we will divide into two groups.

Captain Wang and Zhu Baogen were responsible for clearing the snow on 001 and 002, while Han Yu and Liang Xiaoyu were responsible for clearing the barges.

Considering that the weather is cold and the dripping water turns into ice, and the deck is very slippery after freezing, I went to Bailonggang Village to buy a lot of straw mats a few days ago.

Villagers use this kind of mat to cover pig sheds and sheep sheds, and the Yanjiang police station uses it to prevent slipping on the deck.

When Han Yu and Liang Xiaoyu rushed to the small pier of the shipyard with straw mats, Han Xiangning, who had moved here the day before yesterday, had already cleared away the snow on the first and second decks of the barge.

The deck is actually a circle of walkways around the upper and lower floors. Shovel directly into the river with a shovel, and then sweep it with a broom. The workload is not heavy.

"Morning sister Xiang Ning!"

"It's not as early as you, what time did you get up?"

Yu Ju has also been out of control for the past few days. She lives alone on the barge. Han Yu is not at ease. The other two dormitories on the first floor are temporarily unoccupied. Night.

Han Yu signaled her to go to the aisle in the center of the barge first, and while laying straw mats, he said with a smile: "We got up at six, which is not too early."

Han Xiangning was wearing the military coat her mother wore when she was in the army, holding a hot water bottle and asking, "Six o'clock is not too early!"

"We used to get up at five o'clock."

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Coastal patrol, you can exercise your body and measure our jurisdiction with your feet. If it wasn't for the cold weather and Xusuo's busy schedule, the coastline patrol would have to continue."

"It's like border patrol. You are the police, not the border guards."

Other police stations will not be like this, this is the characteristic of Yanjiang Police Station.

Han Yu didn't know how to explain it, so he simply smiled and said, "Sister Xiang Ning, breakfast is ready, and Uncle Qian has steamed the buns, let's go and eat first."

Han Xiangning asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

"We cleared the snow off the top of the barge and went back to eat."

"Then don't worry, we'll go together when you're done."

"Ok."

Han Yu took out the tools from the utility room, took Liang Xiaoyu up to the top of the barge, and first carefully cleaned the snow on the radar antenna, radio antenna, signal lights and tweeters against the bitter cold wind, then cleaned the mast, and finally cleaned the "roof" .

Han Xiangning stood on the aisle on the first floor, looked at the flying snowflakes, and asked, "Salted fish, are you cold at night?"

"It's not cold, how about you?"

"I'm not cold either, I have a heater."

She really has a heater, the same brand as the tape recorder sponsored by the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau, and it is Sanyo.

Burn kerosene, and after it is lit, the inside is like the reflective iron sheet of the iodine-tungsten lamp on the construction site, reflecting the heat, which can not only keep warm but also bake shoes, socks and even clothes.

Thinking that the weather is so cold, Xiao Xunxun's diapers must not be enough, Han Yu asked: "Sister Xiang Ning, where did you buy that heater, I want to buy one too."

"I didn't buy it, it was from the bureau. If you want to buy it, I'll call your office later and ask."

"I want to buy one for my sister-in-law."

"You care about your sister-in-law."

"My brother is not at home, she is alone at home with the child, and the child is so young."

The elementary school boy is a small adult who is alone in the unit and still cares about his family so much. Han Xiangning was secretly feeling emotional when Boss Wu hurried over in a leather jacket.

"Morning Director Han, Director Han, is it cold?"

"Manager Wu, I'm not the director, I'm just a clerk."

Boss Wu felt that as long as he worked in a government department, if he couldn't figure out the title of "director", he would definitely be right, so he smiled: "Director Han, just now the electric installation company called me and said that they would come over to fix the line somewhere in the afternoon. , intending to help us connect the electricity by the way."

Han Xiangning is not a police officer at the Yanjiang Police Station, so he doesn't know what it means to be connected.

Han Yu was overjoyed, and leaned over and asked, "Manager Wu, so we can tow the barge there later!"

"Xianyu, do you want to ask your Xusuo for instructions on such a big matter?"

"There is no need to ask for instructions. Xu Suo explained the day before yesterday that as long as the water and electricity are in place, the barge can be towed to the river."

"This is the best way. The pontoon bridge has been built for several days. It is made of steel and is worth tens of thousands. I am afraid it will be stolen. In such a cold day, I have to arrange someone to watch it there."

"You don't need to arrange someone to look after the barge towed over."

"Then I'm going to ask someone to find the boat. Once the barge is towed, the anti-collision piles will be lowered. The work must be done before dark."

"Okay." Han Yu thought for a while, then asked with a smile, "What time is it?"

Before Boss Wu could speak, Han Xiangning raised his arm and looked at his watch: "46:[-]."

Han Yu took off his gloves, took out the walkie-talkie from his coat pocket, and shouted: "Captain Wang, Captain Wang, I am Xianyu, please answer if you receive it."

"Please speak."

"Today, the power installation company came to pick up the electricity. We have to tow the barge to the riverside. It's less than eight o'clock. We will prepare the car at nine o'clock and set sail on time at 09:30."

"Received, received, prepare the car at nine o'clock, set sail at 09:30."

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, I'm Xianyu, please answer if you receive it."

"Received, what's the matter."

"Today, the power installation company came to pick up the electricity. We are going to tow the barge to the riverside. We are going to set sail at 09:30, and we will pass through the lock at about [-]:[-]. Please say hello to the ship lock."

"Understood, I'll go to the lock after breakfast."

"By the way, I would like to ask Master Zhou if he has time. Our boat is big, and we have to construct it when we reach the river, so we can't have a boat to guard it."

"Okay, I'll go talk to them."

The waterway and ships on the side of the ship lock are under the control of the Harbor Supervision Station of the Linghai County Transportation Bureau.

After leaving the ship lock, as long as it is the waters of the Yangtze River, regardless of the main stream or the tributaries, it is under the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Yangtze River Port and Shipping Supervision Bureau.

The barges were towed to the riverside, and 001 and 002 entered the Yangtze River, which meant that the Third Harbor Patrol and Law Enforcement Brigade could "open for business."

Han Xiangning didn't want to wait alone in Bailonggang, so she immediately walked over to lock the door of the dormitory, raised her head and shouted, "Salted fish, I want to report to the bureau leader, I'll go to your office to make a call first."

"Go, we will go back soon."

"I have to go to the post office after I make the call, and ask if they can install the phone for us this afternoon."

"Sister Xiang Ning, by the way, please help Bureau Yu to ask. Bureau Yu also needs to install a telephone, and the initial installation fee has already been paid."

"Okay, can you lend me the little Qingqi to ride, it's too far to walk over."

These older sisters have no resistance to Little Qingqi.

Every time Zhang Lan came over, no matter what happened or not, she would take the keys and ride around on a scooter.

Xu Suo's lover, Sister Wei, also likes Little Qingqi, and she even requisitioned it for a day yesterday.

The senior sister below is not much better than them, and she has been pestering to learn how to drive a small Qingqi since she came here the day before yesterday.

Fortunately, the director knew that Xiaoqingqi needed to burn gasoline, so he gave them a few gasoline tickets for the Bailonggang gas station, otherwise the salary would not be enough to fuel their enjoyment.

Everyone had to drive, and Han Yu was a little reluctant at first.

Now I want to drive, anyway, I didn’t buy the car with my own money, and if there are too many people driving, I don’t have to pay for the gas myself, so I agreed: "The car is in the cafeteria, the car key is not taken out, the road is slippery, drive slowly."

"I know, don't worry."

Han Xiangning grinned, put on his gloves, and carefully stepped off the barge.

……

At 09:30 in the morning, 001 set sail on time.

When Lao Zhang came back from the ship lock, he went to Bailong Port to buy a bunch of firecrackers. Together with Lao Qian, he set off half of the firecrackers at the small pier behind the police station.

Master Zhou and Xiao Liu from the Lock Management Office continued to drive 002 to escort 001 and the barge.

Captain Wang drove 001 to the branch port north of the shipyard and turned around.

Boss Wu summoned six workers to board the barge and listen to Han Yu's command.

After Captain Wang turned 001 around and drove to the small pier of the shipyard, six or seven people tied the cables together, and then stood on the left and right sides of the barge with pennies in hand to prevent collisions with ships waiting to pass the lock.After all, barges are indeed a bit bigger compared to other ships.

The leaders of the ship lock management office were very helpful and emptied the lock chamber early.

Standing on the second deck of the barge, Han Yu watched 001 slowly drag the barge out of the lock chamber, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally entered the Yangtze River!
Looking at the surging river and the snow-capped river beach, Lao Zhang was filled with emotion.

Lao Liu from the Bailonggang Police Station rushed to the barge at the passenger terminal after hearing the news, held up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Old Zhang Xianyu, why didn't you say hello when you moved, so we can go and shoot you!"

"We have already let it go, save your firecrackers and let them go when we cut the ribbon for listing."

"Alright, let's take a look when you stop."

"Okay, it should be soon."

Lao Zhang put down the walkie-talkie, turned around and asked, "Xianyu, did Captain Wang drive through? Our base is to the west."

Han Yu went to the corner, looked back, and explained: "I haven't sailed before. Our barge is heavy and has a deep draft. The waterway here is shallow and narrow. Now it's the dry season. It's not easy to turn around here. Go ahead and make a U-turn."

"Why do you have to turn around? The left and right sides of the barge are the same, and there are big signs on both sides."

"It looks similar, but it's actually different. The bollards on the side facing the river are stronger than the one facing the shore. And you need to find the right position for anchoring, so that the aisle in the middle of the first floor is facing the pontoon bridge, and turn around in front. It changes from sailing with the current to sailing against the current. Adjusting the angle on the water is easier than adjusting the angle when entering the water.”

Lao Zhang roughly understood it, and asked by analogy: "After the barge is parked, 001 will be on the side facing the river, and 002 will be on the side facing the bank?"

"Well, we have one big berth and two small berths. The 001 has a long body and can only be moored on the side facing the river. The 002 has a short body, is light in itself, and has a shallow draft. It’s also safer during typhoons.”

"So the berth at the back is divided into two by the pontoon, and if there are more small motorboats in the future, they can also park."

When mentioning the berths for small motorboats, Han Yu remembered something: "Uncle Zhang, Boss Wu has printed a corporate brochure, which not only contains photos of our barges and 001 and 002, but also small speedboats made of fiberglass. It looks beautiful like a yacht."

Lao Zhang laughed and said, "He really knows how to advertise, but can he build fiberglass speedboats?"

Han Yu explained: "He doesn't know how to build, but he can form a joint venture with others. The joint venture is also owned by us in Linghai, and it is a newly opened glass fiber reinforced plastic shipyard. The owner of the shipyard is not only his friend, but also his current partner. The small berth behind our pontoon can accommodate two of those fiberglass speedboats."

"How fast is a fiberglass speedboat?"

"Soon, it uses an imported gasoline engine, ranging from fifty horsepower to two hundred horsepower, which is much faster than our 002, but it is of no use to us."

"Afraid of wind and waves?"

"The hull is not strong enough to withstand collisions, and the propeller is easy to get entangled in fishing nets. When the weather is calm, it can be driven on the seaside or lake for that kind of tourism, but it is not very useful here."

Old Zhang knew that Xiao Xianyu would not say these things for no reason, so he asked curiously, "Did Boss Wu tell you anything?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Han Yu felt a little depressed, and muttered, "It's not with me, but with Sister Xiang Ning."

"What did he say to your sister from the same family?"

"He and the boss of the joint venture factory want to sponsor a fiberglass speedboat to the Harbor Supervision Bureau. They want to build a good relationship with the Harbor Supervision Bureau through this method, and also want to open up the market through this method. After all, the unit that can afford the speedboat not much."

"They're pretty good at doing business."

"Yes."

Han Yu looked behind him again, and said angrily, "But what they did is a bit of a cross-river. If it weren't for us, he would have no chance to get in touch with the Harbor Supervision Bureau, let alone use our barges and law enforcement rescue boats to advertise. Make our barges and law enforcement rescue boats their model!"

Although that kind of speedboat is not very useful to the Yanjiang police station, it is indeed a bit unethical for Boss Wu and his partner to give the speedboat to others instead of the Yanjiang police station. No wonder Xiao Xianyu is unhappy.

Lao Zhang looked at him with a smile and asked, "You said him?"

There was a strong wind on the river, and it hurt like a knife cut on the face.

Han Yu pulled the collar of his coat and said in a low voice: "I didn't say it so bluntly. I told him that the Bureau Yu had already moved in, and that an on-site meeting of the water security management departments of the entire Binjiang Public Security System would be held on our barge in the future. We If there are water equipment, they will definitely use it in the future.”

"Are they interested?"

"If several district and county public security bureaus are involved, it's a big deal. They must be interested. In the end, they came to us to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Yesterday afternoon, they brought his partner, Pidianpidian, to find Bureau Yu. Plan to sponsor a speedboat to the Water Division.”

"Do you want the rest of the game?"

"You don't want to send things to your door for nothing. Yu Ju was very happy and told them to send the speedboat over quickly, and they had to try it out first.

If there is no problem with the quality, the Water Security Detachment and the Water Public Security Bureau will not only purchase but also vigorously promote in the future.We even decided to invite them to participate in our listing ribbon-cutting ceremony and introduce them to the leaders of the customs and Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau. "

Near Zhu Zhechi, near the ink is black.

This kid is more and more like Xu Sanye, who has learned to "extort and blackmail" in a different way, and has changed from a small salted fish to a small wild fish.

It's just that I didn't learn the basics, and the skill of "extortion" was not deep enough, and the first "extortion" failed.

The more Lao Zhang thought about it, the more funny he was, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Boss Wu is a bit snobbish, but he is in business, and he wants to talk about business. Besides, the sponsorship of the Shuishang Public Security Bureau is sponsorship for us, Bureau Yu and that Chen Zikun doesn't know how to drive a boat, even if he could, they wouldn't even be able to find a place to park the boat."

"It is."

"Did Boss Wu and his partner say when they will send the fiberglass speedboat over?"

"I'm working overtime and producing more. From their tone, it seems that they plan to sponsor us before we list and cut the ribbon. Otherwise, the leaders of the Harbor Supervision Bureau, Customs and Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau will not be able to see it."

"Did that elder sister of yours tell the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau whether they want it or not?"

"No one wants a free speedboat, but I heard from her that if people really send the speedboat over, their bureau will arrange for someone to drive it away. The waters under their jurisdiction are so long that they are short of boats than us."

"Does Xu know about this?"

"I want to report, but I can't see anyone else. Uncle Zhang, what are Xu Suo and Li Zhi doing these days?"

In order to crack down on the hooligans who bully the city in Linghai, the bureau has set up a special task force.

A total of nine police officers, including Xu Sanye and Li Weiguo, are busy with secret investigation these days, quietly looking for the victim to collect evidence, and must strictly keep the secrets.

Lao Zhang was not worried that Little Xianyu would leak the news, but considering that the work of the law enforcement and rescue fleet was equally important, he didn't want to distract him, so he said perfunctorily: "It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are many meetings and assessments."
