Riverside Police.

Chapter 233 Investigation Ideas
After eliminating the danger, report the situation to the traffic control center.

The three of Han Yu dragged the "flat barge" to the east side of the barge at the Yanjiang Police Station, tied it to the anti-collision pile with the cable from 001, and boarded the barge in the rain for inspection.

With the help of 001's searchlight and flashlight, they checked carefully, and the results of the inspection shocked all three of them.

Captain Wang couldn't believe what he saw, so he went back to 001 to get a tape measure.

After measuring the size, I beat the rust on the winch with a hammer in the pouring rain. I didn't return to the barge until I saw the words engraved on the winch clearly.

Jin Weiguo, the captain of the Third Hong Kong Patrol Brigade, was at a wharf in Shuzhou, but his heart was in Bailonggang, holding a VHF radio communicator and eagerly asking: "Salted fish, what kind of boat is that, and what's going on? "

Han Yu's whole body was also soaked, so he quickly wiped it off with a towel, picked up a pen and recorded the measurements just now, and said with a smile: "Jin Da, you must not believe it, I don't know what kind of boat it is, It is said that it is a barge without a superstructure, and it is said that the barge looks like a barge, but it is not the same as the pontoon built now, it is an old antique.”

"How old?"

"From the words engraved on the winch, it can be seen that it was built in the East China Sea in 1914. Not only the anchor chain winch looks very old, but the construction process of the hull is also very old. It is not welded, and the steel frame structure of the whole ship is all made of Riveted."

"Boat from 1914!"

"Yeah, it's been 80 years now."

If a person drives a boat and encounters such an antique boat on the river in the middle of the night, and there is no one on the antique boat, he will definitely be terrified.

Jin Weiguo couldn't believe it was true. He looked up at Director Tang and Han Xiangning who were equally astonished, and asked, "Is there a name and number for the ship?"

"No."

The rainwater on the head was not wiped clean, and it was dripping.

Han Yu picked up a towel and wiped it, looked at the data just recorded, and said with a smile: "The length is about 96.5 meters, the width is 9 meters, and the molded depth is about 2.4 meters. The total weight is estimated to be [-] tons. The hull is divided into two layers. The lower cabin was compacted by heavy objects, so it should have been stowed with stones.

There are two winches and four anchor posts for fixing the anchor chain at the bow and stern, and it seems that the maintenance is not very good.Although it has been 80 years, the two anchor plates can still turn with great effort.The anchor chain was broken, so naturally the anchor could not be seen.Judging from the fracture, it should have been broken not long ago. "

It was the first time Han Xiangning encountered such a thing, and murmured, "So it's a floating platform."

"It may also be a flat barge at some pier."

"We don't have such old barges in the riverside waters."

"It may have drifted upriver."

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Director Tang did not expect that Xianyu rescued an old antique, and asked curiously: "Xianyu, how is the boat?"

"It's very rusty and rusty. But it's been 80 years. It can be used for such a long time, which shows that the craftsmanship and steel quality of that year are still good."

"It is estimated that no one will come looking for such an antique. The typhoon will enter the waters under our jurisdiction in a few hours. You should quickly find a way to fix it to prevent the anchor from getting out of control."

"Understood, I'm dealing with it."

As Director Tang said, even if the unit to which this old antique belongs knows that it is in the Yanjiang Police Station, they will pretend not to know.

After all it was too old, too old, too cheap, and it got out of control because it wasn't anchored.

If you find them, you will not only have to bear the cost of rescue, but you will even be fined by the Hong Kong Supervisory Committee.After paying the rescue fee and the fine, you have to find a tugboat to tow it back, and the tugboat also costs money, so it is not worthwhile.

Han Yu was very interested in this old antique.

Considering that it is difficult to ensure its safety with only one cable, and it might be blown away when the typhoon comes, we quickly drove 001 to the side of the barge to find waste tires, and then drove back to tie a dozen tires on both sides of the ship with steel wires. side.

Then use 001 to drag it to the barge, and then tie it to the barge with iron chains, and fix it in several places from the bow to the stern.

And 001 is moored on the outside of the old antique with the help of the anchor post on the old antique.

"Uncle Zhu, quickly connect to the shore power."

"Captain Wang, we extended nine meters to the center of the river at once. Many passing ships didn't know it. Turn on all the mast lights, side lights, bow lights, and stern lights of 001 to prevent other ships from colliding."

"immediately."

"Salted fish, what are you planning to do?"

Standing on the old antique in the rain, Han Yu couldn't help but jumped on the spacious deck of the old antique, turned his head and smiled and said, "Our barge is too small, and the side deck is too narrow, so it's so spacious, it's almost like a small square .”

Captain Wang came to his senses, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you want to keep this old antique?"

"Nine times out of ten, no one will want it. What we picked up from the river is ours."

Han Yu smiled, and said happily, "You can't build a house without a yard, and you can't have a small square in a unit. It feels so good to meet you like this."

Captain Wang walked up to Old Antique's deck, looked around in the rain, and said with a smile, "It feels different to have this platform than to not have it."

Han Yu walked to the top of the deck, turned around and said, "When I have money in the future, I plan to install a flagpole here. Bailonggang Primary School holds a flag-raising ceremony every Monday. We are now a police station and will be a marine police squadron in the future. There is no way around the conditions, as long as there are conditions, the flag must be raised."

As expected of Xu Sanye's personal disciple, if Xu Sanye is still alive, Xu Sanye will definitely think so.

Captain Wang nodded slightly, and went back to 001 to turn on the lights. Although the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River is banned today, some ships do not know, so they must display the lights and shapes to remind passing ships to avoid.

At this time, Lao Ding and the second senior brother rushed back in the rain.

Not surprisingly, the two were also interested in "old antiques". They walked up to the water platform that had just been "spliced", looked left and right, and felt that having such a large water platform was better than having no platform before.

But they were more concerned about the case than the old antiques that Han Yu picked up.

After visiting in the rain for a while, he walked into the police duty room on the first floor of the barge, and talked about the case while squeezing the water from his clothes.

"The stolen transformers were not three, but five."

"Five units!"

Han Yu was taken aback.

Fang Zhiqiang said with a wry smile: "I thought there were three sets at first, but then two village cadres reported to the police, saying that the transformer at the drainage outlet of their village was gone."

Lost five power transformers for flood control and drainage, and it was at the critical moment of the typhoon. This is a major case of genuine replacement.

The city leaders were alarmed and would probably ask the public security department to solve the case within a time limit.

In the murder case that occurred in Binjiang Port a few years ago, because the murderer was not caught within the time limit, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, the chief of the criminal investigation section, the director of the Hong Kong District Bureau and the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau were all transferred. Leaving or even dismissing...

Thinking of this, Han Yu realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked eagerly, "Any clues?"

"We just finished watching the scene, and Wang Yan and the others are visiting in the rain to inquire, and have not collected any valuable clues for the time being." Fang Zhiqiang wanted to smoke, but the cigarettes in his pocket were all wet.

Lao Ding opened the desk drawer and took out a box, handed it over and said, "I don't know when it was stolen."

If it were another case, Han Yu wouldn't be able to intervene.

But the transformer at the drainage outlet was lost. Han Yu felt that he could help with the analysis, so he picked up a pen and paper and asked, "Ding Suo, second senior brother, do you know the model of the stolen transformer?"

"What model?"

"The model of the transformer."

"We just looked at the scene, and several village officials couldn't explain why. The stolen one was the kind of transformer that turns 10 volts of high-voltage electricity into 380 volts of three-phase electricity. It should be the same as the one you installed on the shore. It's about the same level."

"10 kV is just voltage, I'm talking about capacity."

"Is the transformer divided into capacity?"

"Of course."

Han Yu realized that they really didn't understand, and patiently explained: "It is also a transformer that converts 10 kV into 380 volts. Where there is a lot of power consumption, a transformer with a large capacity should be installed, and where the power consumption is low, a transformer with a small capacity should be installed. Yes. Large-capacity transformers are definitely more expensive than small-capacity transformers, and they also look larger than small-capacity transformers. This situation must be clarified quickly.”

Fang Zhiqiang subconsciously asked: "And then?"

"That's what I think. People who dare to steal transformers know electricity even if they are not electricians."

"That's for sure. Those who don't understand have been electrocuted to death."

"By the way, the transformer was stolen. Have the wires been cut?"

"No wires."

"Did you ask what kind of wire is used for the transmission line?"

"did not ask."

"Also ask quickly, ask whether it is copper wire or aluminum wire, especially the type and diameter of the wire."

Ding Suo took a few puffs of cigarettes in a row, and asked puzzledly: "The wires have not been cut and stolen, so what do the wires do?"

Han Yu rationalized his thinking, and analyzed in a nutshell: "The transformer is so heavy, one person must not be able to transport it away, it must be a gang committing crimes, and there is a high possibility of transporting it away by boat."

Fang Zhiqiang nodded: "Ding Suo and I also analyzed it in the same way."

"Since it is a crime committed by a gang, the stolen goods must be divided, and the premise of the divided spoils is to sell the stolen goods. The principle of the transformer is very simple. There is a shell with a radiator on the outside. The shell can only be sold as scrap iron, and it can't be sold for a few dollars. Inside are two sets of coils wound on the silicon steel sheet, one set is high voltage, the other set is low voltage, after being installed into the case, transformer oil is injected to dissipate heat.

Transformer oil can’t be sold at a high price, and silicon steel sheet is not cheap, but it is difficult to sell at a high price, which means that if they only want to sell copper, they don’t need to go to such a great effort to steal the transformer and remove the coil. Steal wires. "

Han Yusheng was afraid that they would not understand, so he gestured and said, "Cut both ends, wind them up and take them back, peel the skin and sell the copper, isn't it easier than stealing such a heavy transformer and removing the enameled wire of the inner coil?"

Fang Zhiqiang asked half-understanding: "Salted fish, are you saying that they probably don't want to sell scrap copper, but transformers?"

"When I was inspecting the waste collection point at Yingchuan Port, I met a transformer manufacturer who collected stolen goods. There was a transformer manufacturer run by an individual to purchase used power transformers."

"Take it back for renovation?"

"Well, it's very simple. Some don't even change the shell, just sand it down and paint it again, and install a new nameplate, it's a new transformer."

"As long as we find out the models of the five transformers, we can start to check from the scrap purchase point or even the manufacturer of the transformers!"

Han Yu nodded, thought about it and laughed again: "The means of transportation they used to commit the crime must be a boat, but they are unlikely to enter the Yangtze River, because there is a water security checkpoint in Bailong Port. Uncle Ding, you go to the ship lock to check almost every day. They dare not take that risk.”

Ding Suo reacted suddenly, and couldn't help laughing: "Yingchuan Port Ship Lock and Binjiang Ship Lock, as long as they enter the river, there are water security checkpoints, so the possibility of transporting transformers to other places is relatively small. And there are so many power transformer manufacturers in Binjiang , as long as we search along this line, we will definitely be able to find clues."

"There are also points for purchasing waste materials."

Han Yu weighed it up, and then said: "The drainage outlets are all by the river, and the means of transportation used by the criminals to commit the crime is probably a boat. It can be said that this is a criminal case that happened on the water, and the Water Branch has the same jurisdiction. The development zone Leave it to me in Chonggang District, and I will contact Jia Zhi right away, and ask Jia Zhi to help him visit and inquire."

"Okay, tell Lao Jia for me, no matter whether the case can be solved or not, I owe him a favor, and I will treat him to dinner."

"Ok."

Han Yu smiled and reminded: "The things you said just now must be understood quickly. After I find out the models of the five stolen transformers, I will ask Political Commissar Wang to ask Wei Zhi to see if similar cases have occurred in other places. , can you string them together and see if there are any other clues."

Lao Ding was really worried just now. He didn't know how to investigate this case. After hearing what Han Yu said, he suddenly became enlightened, and immediately stood up:
"Zhiqiang, you are in charge of visiting and inquiring about the waste material purchase sites and transformer manufacturers in Linghai and Dongqi, and I am in charge of implementing what Xianyu just said."

"Okay, I'll go back to the squadron now."

"Second Senior Brother, it's raining so heavily outside..."

"The stolen ones were five transformers used for drainage. The city leaders are watching. Even if there are knives outside, I have to go and investigate."

As the captain of the criminal investigation squadron, Fang Zhiqiang was under a lot of pressure when a theft case with such a large value and such a bad impact occurred in his jurisdiction.

The same is true for Lao Ding, who braved the rain to go to the substation to find out the situation.

When the old unit was in trouble, Han Yu couldn't just sit by and watch, so he quickly contacted Jia Yongqiang with a satellite phone, and asked Jia Yongqiang to organize a force to help him visit and inquire.

In fact, it can be contacted with a VHF radio station, but it is not conducive to confidentiality.The phone on the barge couldn't get through, so I could only use the satellite phone with very expensive call charges.

At 46:[-] p.m., the city leaders and leaders from the Water Conservancy Bureau, Agriculture Bureau, Transportation Bureau and other units finally came back.

Not only the command and control room and the small conference room next door were requisitioned, but even the radio station and satellite phone were requisitioned.

The rice cooker and gas stove on the barge are too small to cook meals for so many people.

Han Yu was worried about what the leaders would eat at night, so Lao Zhang said in a low voice, "Old Qian, we don't need to cook, the Sichang Township Government has prepared the meal, let Bailonggang Restaurant prepare it and deliver it."

Just as Lao Qian was about to speak, Xiao Yu snickered and said, "The leader saw that there are cigarettes, water, instant noodles, ham sausage, and biscuits on my boat, and he bought a lot just now."

"So your dad didn't make this trip in vain?"

"Of course I didn't run in vain. This is a business for the public. Buying things is the shopping, and the gas money is the gas money. I asked the guy wearing glasses just now, and he said to ask Zhang Suo to write a certificate, and he will help reimburse the expenses later."

Han Yu scolded with a smile: "We are preventing typhoon and waterlogging. Do you know how many party members and cadres and basic militiamen are there on the river embankment, river embankment and those drainage outlets? People are fighting disasters, and you have the nerve to ask them for gas money?" .”

Xiaoyu chuckled and said confidently: "They are preventing waterlogging, but my home is on the shore and there is no field, so it has nothing to do with my home."

"Your home has no fields on the shore, but your home has buildings on the shore. Are you not afraid that the buildings will be flooded?"

"It is."

"So you can't just think about your own calculations, and besides, you are also a party member now."

"All right, all right, listen to you, don't ask them for reimbursement."
