Riverside police

At 4:27 pm, Han Yu finally arrived at Zhoushan Port.

Donghai Maritime Safety Bureau is under the jurisdiction of Donghai Maritime Safety Bureau, but the jurisdiction of Donghai Maritime Safety Bureau is not only the jurisdiction of Donghai Maritime Safety Bureau. Maritime traffic safety in the Zhejiang Sea is under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang Maritime Safety Administration. The Third Police Station of the Donghai Maritime Public Security Bureau located in Shengsi is responsible for ensuring the safety of navigation aids in nearby waters, assisting the Zhejiang Maritime Water Law Enforcement, and is responsible for combating hit-and-run accidents and forged maritime incidents. Official documents and other illegal crimes.

If an ordinary criminal case occurs here, Han Yu does not need to personally intervene, but now that a fishing boat is gone, four crew members are dead, and three crew members are missing, he, the director, must rush over as soon as possible.

The reason why we rushed to Zhoushan Port instead of Shengsi is because in the past ten hours, the Zhoushan Maritime Safety Bureau used new technologies such as the VTS system to lock in a suspicious cargo ship, and the suspicious cargo ship was unloading at Zhoushan Port.

The maritime department has taken measures and requested the assistance of ports, customs and border defense departments to ensure that suspicious cargo ships cannot leave the port without permission.

Han Yu pushed off the car and was greeted by Yan Suo, who had been waiting for a long time. He stood at attention and saluted.

"Old Yan, what's going on now?" Han Yu raised his hand in return and turned to look at the two foreign ships berthed at the pier.

"Reporting to the Korean Bureau, it is now confirmed that at around 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Singapore-registered container ship 'Kotanabra' sailed through the sea area where the incident occurred, which is the ship that was unloading in front. We arrived three hours ago Here, Bureau Qiu and Division Xu of the Maritime Safety Administration, Director Wang of the Search and Rescue Center, and Bureau Zhuang of the Fisheries Administration all boarded the ship to inspect and inquire. The captain, first mate, and second mate were all Burmese, and they claimed that they had never seen the wrecked fishing boat. "

"Where's the crew?"

"The crew members all claimed that everything was normal all the way from Yangshan Port to here." Yan Suo raised his hand to greet the police officer at the border inspection station who was on guard duty at the pier, and continued to report: "But we found during the inspection , there are obvious collision marks on the bow of the 'Cotanabra', and the marks are very new! "

The ship was docked at the dock, and the captain and crew were all on board. They could not leave without permission. Even if they dare to disobey the traffic control instructions and forcefully leave the port, their speed is not as fast as the law enforcement boats of the Maritime Affairs and Border Defense Coast Guard, so it is impossible to escape.

When he got here, Han Yu was not as anxious as before. He looked back at Lao Yang, the driver of Changhang Binjiang Branch who had just helped him take out his luggage from the trunk of the police car: "Lao Yang, have you been to Zhoushan before?"

"No, this is my first time here." Lao Yang said quickly.

"It's a rare time to come here and play for two days before going back. You must be very tired after driving for more than ten hours. You can't drive while fatigued. You won't be able to go back today anyway."

"Director Han, you are busy with your business, leave me alone, I will find a hotel nearby to stay for one night."

At a glance, he knew that the old driver in front of him was an old subordinate of the director. Yan Suo said quickly: "Master Yang, you are a guest. As the saying goes, guests do as they please. When you get here, you will listen to our arrangements."

"Leader, there's no need to go to such trouble."

"Lao Yang, listen to Yan Suo. I'll stay here tonight too. Help me deliver my luggage to my place of residence."

"yes!"

Yan Suo lost no time and said: "Xiao Li, accompany Master Yang to the hotel."

"Okay, Master Yang, our car is in front. Please wait a moment while I drive."

…

After arranging colleagues from his old unit, Han Yu followed Yan Suo to an office at the dock.

The leaders of the Maritime Safety Administration and the person in charge of the search and rescue center were both there, and they had dealt with each other before, so they exchanged a few words and got down to business.

"Han Bureau, judging from the information we have now, they must have rammed and sunk the fishing boat. But they are all foreigners and refuse to admit it. Except for the obvious collision marks on the bow of the ship, we have no other conclusive evidence. For a while, There's really nothing we can do about them now." Director Qiu frowned, worried.

"Don't say they are Burmese, they are Americans. If they break laws and commit crimes in China, they will still be punished by Chinese laws!" Han Yu took a sip of tea and continued: "A few years ago, a COSCO ship was found in Norwegian waters. If an accident occurs, causing fuel leakage and environmental pollution, the captain will be sentenced. People have never been polite to our ships. Laws must be followed and law enforcement must be strict. There is no need for us to be polite to foreign ships. "

"Having said that, the key is to have evidence."

"If you don't have evidence, look for evidence. I took a look just now. This container ship is quite new. It should have a 'black box'. Director Qiu, I suggest boarding the ship immediately and sealing their charts, logbooks, and shipboard navigation data recorders." and other evidence. At the same time, we organized technical forces to conduct a comprehensive and detailed survey of the ship's hull and conduct a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sealed navigation electronic data."

"Bureau Han, I have informed you of what you said, and the relevant personnel are on their way to the dock."

"What time can we arrive?"

Director Qiu picked up his phone and checked the time: "Everyone should be in place within an hour at most."

"We can't just sit and wait," Han Yu weighed it up and suggested, "How about we take a traffic boat to survey the hull before dark."

"OK."

Human lives matter.

Now we not only need to give an explanation to our superiors, but also to the relatives of the dead and missing crew members.

Bureau Qiu was under greater pressure than Han Yu. He immediately asked his entourage to find some life jackets, and asked the staff to bring cameras, video cameras and accident investigation boxes. Together with Han Yu, they boarded the traffic boat at the pier and treated the people who were still unloading on the sea. The "Cotanabra" launched an investigation.

"Qiu Bureau, Han Bureau, there are obvious scratch marks on both sides of the bow!"

"Master, can you come closer?"

"Yes." The pilot responded and drove the traffic boat carefully to the bow of the ship.

Han Yu stood at the bow of the ship, put on gloves, touched the parts with obvious scratch marks, and analyzed: "This is not an ordinary scratch mark, it is caused by a collision."

Director Qiu hadn't just met Han Yu today. He had known that Han Yu was an expert and immediately ordered: "Xiao Chen, take pictures!"

"yes!"

"There is paint attached to the impact mark! Lao Yan, do you have an evidence bag?"

"Did not bring."

"Bureau Han, I have a plastic convenience bag here."

"It's okay to have a convenience bag." Han Yu turned around and took the convenience bag handed over by the maritime law enforcement officer. He carefully removed the paint attached to the collision mark on the outer ship's bow and put it into the convenience bag. Then he turned back and said, "Director Qiu, please excuse me. Arrange people to seize the time to investigate whether the wrecked fishing boat has been anti-corrosion recently. If so, be sure to find out where it was done and what kind of paint was used. "

"No problem, Xiao Chen, I'll leave this job to you."

"yes!"

Yan Suo reacted, looked at the faintly visible blue spots on the impact marks, and said excitedly: "Han Bureau, I asked the fishery department and the wrecked fishing boat was painted blue."

"There are many ships painted in blue, and we cannot assume that they have been involved in a collision just because they have the same color. What we need is evidence, an inspection report issued by the forensic appraisal department."

"clear."

"You should take pictures of everything that needs to be taken. If you haven't taken pictures, hurry up and take pictures. After taking pictures, we will get on the boat and talk to the captain."

"OK!"

…

The captain of the "Cotanabra" could clearly see every move of the Chinese port officials on the sea. He whispered a few words to the first mate and second mate, and the first mate and second mate hurriedly separated to find others. crew.

Boarding the ship in the afternoon to investigate, they denied that a collision had occurred.

Han Yu knew very well that he couldn't do what Qiu Bureau and the others did in the afternoon. He had to put enough pressure on the other side. Only by putting enough pressure on the other side would the other side get into trouble and expose their flaws.

After everyone landed, they were in no hurry to board the ship.

We first held a small meeting at the dock to study the plan for boarding and inspection. Then we said hello to the officers and soldiers at the border inspection station who were performing surveillance duties at the dock, and boarded the container ship along the spiral staircase.

Director Qiu's English was not very good, so he asked Han Yu to speak to the captain on behalf of Maritime Affairs.

Han Yu straightened his police uniform and raised his hands in salute, then showed his ID and said very seriously: "Mr. Captain, please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Qiu Fangyun, deputy director of Zhoushan Maritime Safety Administration of the People's Republic of China. I am Donghai, the People's Republic of China." Director of the Maritime Public Security Bureau Han Yu, we have reason to suspect that your ship collided with a Chinese fishing vessel in our waters at around 15:00 yesterday afternoon. According to the relevant laws and regulations of China, we will station the ship to investigate. Please cooperate with us, Mr. Captain!"

"Stand on board, Mr. Director, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Our intention is very clear. From now on, Director Qiu and I will lead the investigation team to your ship! The loading and unloading operations are suspended. Except for the crew members on duty, the rest of the personnel will immediately return to their respective crew cabins to wait for the investigation team's questioning. No one is allowed to do so without permission. Mobile phones, walkie-talkies, satellite phones and other communication equipment are all in our care.”

"Mr. Director, you have no right to do this."

"This is China." Han Yu stared at him and reminded: "You can report to your shipowner, contact the shipping agent, or hire a lawyer, or even contact the embassy or consulate of the shipowner's country and your government in China. ”

"Please allow me to contact the ship owner."

"No problem. Is there a satellite phone?"

"have."

"Where?"

"bridge."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The loading and unloading operations were stopped immediately. Except for the crew on duty, all other personnel handed over their mobile phones and returned to their respective cabins. The second mate and sailor on duty on the bridge, as well as the crew on duty on the deck, are all monitored by maritime law enforcement officers or maritime police officers.

As soon as the cargo ship docked, it was supplied with daily necessities such as vegetables, fruits, grain and oil, and it was impossible to find an excuse to go ashore.

When the captain and crew saw such a huge display by Chinese port officials and Chinese police, they immediately realized that something was wrong. They were all uneasy, not knowing what they would face next.

Han Yu, Bureau Qiu and other core members of the investigation team "requisitioned" the restaurant and activity room on the ship, and conducted interviews one by one, starting from the captain, just like a lobby.

"Mr. Director, the scratches on the bow of the ship are from the previous voyage."

"On the last voyage, Mr. Captain, can you be more specific, such as where and what ship you had a collision with?"

"Sorry, I was not the captain of the last voyage. You can check this in the voyage log."

"I'm looking at it," Han Yu said meaningfully while flipping through the voyage log: "Mr. Captain, I believe your statement, but what I can't understand is that your ship had a collision in the previous voyage, but There is no record in the voyage log, can you explain it?”

The Burmese captain shrugged like Europeans and Americans, pretending to be regretful and said: "You have to ask the captain of the previous voyage."

"You didn't ask when you handed over to the captain of the previous voyage?"

"No, this handover was very hasty."

Observing words and emotions is the most basic professional skill that a public security officer must possess.

Han Yu had already noticed that there was something wrong with him, so he secretly cursed "hard talk", raised his arm and pointed at the camera on the side, and reminded: "Mr. Captain, we are filming and collecting evidence, and everything you said will become evidence in the future. ”

"I know."

"I think you don't know, or understand our Chinese laws, or even the level of criminal technical identification of our Chinese police." Han Yu picked up the plastic bag, stared at him and said, "Captain, this is the attachment we extracted from the collision scar on the bow of your ship. We will send these attachments to the technical department for testing and analysis later."

"Really?"

"From the certificate of competency, you are a senior captain. You should know that the formulas of anti-corrosion paints produced by different manufacturers are also different. Some manufacturers produce anti-corrosion paints with differences between different batches. Although we haven't found the wrecked fishing boat yet, we know that the fishing boat has been anti-corrosion during the fishing moratorium. I have confidence in my colleagues in the technical department, and I believe they will soon be able to test and analyze where these attachments extracted from your ship came from. "

The Burmese captain felt guilty and dared not answer for a moment. He simply said perfunctorily: "Mr. Director, the shipowner asked me to remain silent, and I have the right to remain silent."

"You are not the only one on the ship, there are so many crew members. Your silence does not mean that others will remain silent." Han Yu looked at the navigation log again, thought about it and said meaningfully: "Especially the second mate and sailors who were on duty at around 3 pm yesterday BJ time."

"Mr. Director, my ship has not had a collision accident."

"Well, if you insist on saying so, please go back to the cabin to rest first."

"You can't restrict my freedom."

"Captain, it is necessary to remind you again that this is China!" Han Yu gestured to the Burmese captain to sign the transcript, and said: "Xiao Chen, send the captain back to the captain's room to rest, and ask the second mate to come over by the way. "
