Riverside police
Chapter 233 Investigation Ideas
After eliminating the danger, report the situation to the traffic control center.
Han and Yu three people towed the "flat barge" to the east side of the Yanjiang Police Station barge, tied it to the anti-collision pile with the cables from 001, and then boarded the boat in the rain for inspection.
With the help of 001's searchlight and flashlight, they checked carefully. The results of the inspection shocked the three of them.
Captain Wang couldn't believe what he saw and went back to 001 to get a measuring tape.
After taking the measurements, I braved the pouring rain and used a hammer to knock out the rust on the winch. I didn't return to the barge until I saw the words engraved on the winch clearly.
Captain Jin Weiguo of the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol was at a dock in Shuzhou, but his heart was in Bailong Port. He held up the VHF radio and asked eagerly: "Xianyu, what kind of ship is that and what's going on? "
Han Yu was soaked all over, so he quickly wiped it with a towel, picked up a pen and recorded the dimensions just measured, and said with a smile: "Jin Da, you won't believe it, I don't know what kind of boat this is. It is a barge without a superstructure, but it looks like a barge, and it is different from the floating docks built today. It is just an antique."
"How old?"
"Judging from the words engraved on the winch, 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 entire ship is made of Riveted."
"1914 ship!"
"Yeah, it's been eighty years now."
If a person is driving 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 frightened.
Jin Weiguo couldn't believe this was true. He looked up at Director Tang and Han Xiangning, who were also astonished, and asked, "Is there a name and number of the ship?"
"No."
The rainwater on my head has not been wiped clean and is dripping down.
Han Yu picked up a towel and wiped it, looked at the data he had just recorded, and said with a smile: "It is about 96.5 meters long, 9 meters wide, and about 2.4 meters deep. The total weight is estimated to be 600 tons. The hull is divided into two layers, and the deck is The cabin below was heavily pressed down by heavy objects, and it should have been loaded with stones.
There are two winches and four anchor posts at the bow and stern for fixing the anchor chain. It seems that they are not well maintained. Even after eighty years, the two anchor plates can still rotate with great effort. The anchor chain is broken, so the anchor cannot be seen. Judging from the fracture, it should have just been broken. "
Han Xiang Ningtou encountered such a thing for the first time and murmured: "So it's a water platform."
"Maybe it's a flat barge from some pier."
“We don’t have such old barges in our riverside waters.”
"Maybe it drifted in from upstream."
Weird things happen every year, especially this year.
Director Tang did not expect that Xianyu actually rescued an old antique, and asked curiously: "Xianyu, how is the condition of the boat?"
"It's very rusty and full of rust. But it's already 80 years old. It can be used for such a long time, which shows that the craftsmanship and the quality of the steel back then were pretty good."
"No one will come looking for such an old 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 it from losing control again."
"Understood, I'm taking care of it."
As Director Tang said, even if the unit to which this old antique belongs knows that it is at the Yanjiang Police Station, people will pretend not to know.
After all, it was too old, worn out, and worthless, and it lost control because it was not anchored.
If you come here, you will not only have to bear the cost of rescue, but you will even be fined by the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority. After paying the rescue fee and fine, we still have to find a tugboat to tow it back. The tugboat also costs money, so it’s not cost-effective.
Han Yu was very interested in this old antique.
Considering that it is difficult to ensure its safety with just a cable, and it might be blown away again when a typhoon comes, we quickly drove 001 to the barge to look for scrap tires, and then drove back and tied a dozen tires to the sides of the ship with steel wires. side.
Then use 001 to drag it to the front of the barge, and then use iron chains to tie it to the barge, fixing it in several places from the bow to the stern.
And 001 used the anchor posts on the old antique to berth on the outside of the old antique.
"Uncle Zhu, quickly connect the shore power."
"Captain Wang, we extended nine meters to the center of the river at once. Many passing ships didn't know it. They turned on the mast lights, side lights, bow lights, and stern lights of 001 to prevent collisions with other ships."
"immediately."
"Xianyu, what are you planning to do?"
Han Yu stood on Lao Antique in the rain and couldn't help but jump on Lao Antique's spacious deck. He turned around and said with a smile: "Our barge is too small and the ship's side deck is too narrow. It's so spacious. It's almost like a small square." .”
Captain Wang reacted, 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 pick 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 build a unit without a small square. How good it feels to be connected like this."
Captain Wang walked onto the deck of Old Antique, looked back and looked around in the rain, and said with a smile: "It feels different with this platform than without 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. No matter the conditions, we have to raise the flag as long as there are conditions."
As expected of Xu Sanye's direct disciple, if Xu Sanye were still alive, Xu Sanye would definitely think so.
Captain Wang nodded slightly and went back to 001 to turn on the lights. Although navigation was prohibited across the lower reaches of the Yangtze River today, some ships did not know that they must display their lights to remind passing ships to avoid them.
At this time, Lao Ding and his second senior brother came back in the rain.
Not surprisingly, the two of them were also interested in "old antiques". They walked onto the newly "joined" water platform, looked left and right, and both felt that having such a large water platform was better than having no platform before.
However, they were more concerned about the case than the old antiques that Han Yu picked up.
After visiting in the rain for a while, we walked into the police duty room on the first floor of the barge. While squeezing water from our clothes, we talked about the case.
"There were not three stolen transformers, but five."
"Wutai!"
Han Yu was shocked.
Fang Zhiqiang said with a wry smile: "I thought it was three stations at first, but then two village cadres reported the case, saying that the transformers at the drainage outlet of their village were gone."
Five power transformers for flood prevention and drainage were lost, and it was at the critical moment of the approaching typhoon. This was a major case that was guaranteed to be replaced.
The city leaders are alarmed and will probably ask the public security bureau to solve the case within a short period of time.
In the murder case that occurred in Binjiang Port a few years ago, because the murderer could not be caught within the time limit, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, and the chief of the criminal investigation section were all transferred to the Hong Kong District Branch and the director of the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau. Resign or even be dismissed...
Thinking of this, Han Yu realized the seriousness of the problem and asked eagerly: "Are there any clues?"
"We have just watched the scene. Wang Yan and the others are visiting and asking in the rain, but no valuable clues have been collected yet." 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 even 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 thought 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 number of the transformer."
"We just looked at the scene, but several village cadres couldn't explain why. What was stolen was the kind of transformer that converts 10,000 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. Taiwan is almost the same.”
"10 kilovolts is just voltage, I'm talking about capacity."
"Are transformers divided into different capacities?"
"Of course."
Han Yu realized that they really didn't understand, and patiently explained: "It is also a transformer that converts 10,000 volts into 380 volts. Where there is a lot of electricity, we need to install a larger capacity transformer, and where there is less electricity, we need to install a smaller capacity transformer." 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 as soon as possible."
Fang Zhiqiang asked subconsciously: "What then?"
"This is what I think. Anyone who dares to steal a transformer knows electricity even if he is not an electrician."
"That's for sure. Those who didn't understand would have been electrocuted long ago."
"By the way, the transformer was stolen. Have the wires been cut?"
"There are no wires."
"Have you ever asked what kind of wires are used for the transmission lines?"
"did not ask."
"You should also ask quickly whether it is a copper wire or an aluminum wire, especially the type and diameter of the wire."
Ding Suo took a few puffs of cigarette and asked puzzledly: "The wires were not cut and stolen. What are they doing?"
Han Yu clarified his thoughts and analyzed in detail: "The transformer is so heavy that one person will definitely not be able to transport it. It must be a gang that committed the crime, and it is very likely that it will be transported by ship."
Fang Zhiqiang nodded: "Ding Suo and I also analyzed it this way."
"Since it is a gang committing a crime, the stolen goods must be divided, and the prerequisite for dividing the stolen goods 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 metal, and it cannot be sold for a lot of money. Inside are two sets of coils wrapped around silicon steel sheets, one is high voltage and the other is low voltage. After being installed into the shell, transformer oil is injected into it for heat dissipation.
Transformer oil cannot be sold at a high price, and silicon steel sheets are not cheap, but it is difficult to sell them at a high price. This means that if they just want to sell copper, they don’t have to go to so much trouble to steal the transformer and remove the coil. If you have the ability, you can do it. Steal wires. "
Han Yu was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so he gestured and said: "Cut the two ends, wind them up, take them back, peel them off and sell them for copper. Isn't it easier than stealing such a heavy transformer and taking it back and removing the enameled wires from the coils inside?"
Fang Zhiqiang asked vaguely: "Xianyu, are you saying that they probably don't want to sell scrap copper, but want to sell transformers?"
"When I checked the scrap collection point at Yingchuan Port, I met a man who collected stolen goods. There was a transformer manufacturer owned by an individual who purchased scrap power transformers."
"Take it back and renovate it?"
"Well, it's very simple. Some don't even need to replace the casing. They just need to polish it with sandpaper, repaint it, and put on a new nameplate. It's a new transformer."
"As long as we find out the models of the five transformers, we can start investigating from the scrap collection point or even the manufacturer where the transformers were purchased!"
Han Yu nodded, thought about it and smiled: "The means of transportation they used to commit the crime must be a boat, but it is unlikely that they will enter the Yangtze River, because there is a water security checkpoint in Bailong Port. Uncle Ding, you go to the lock to check almost every day. They Don’t dare to take the risk.”
Ding Suo suddenly reacted and couldn't help laughing: "There are water security checkpoints at Yingshuangang Ship Lock, Binjiang Ship Lock, and as long as they enter the river, so the possibility of transporting transformers to other places is relatively small. And there are only so many power transformer manufacturers in Binjiang. , as long as we follow this line of investigation, we will definitely find clues."
"There is also a waste material collection point."
Han Yu weighed it up and continued: "The drainage outlets are all by the river, and the means of transportation used by criminals to commit crimes are likely to be boats. It can be said that this is a criminal case that occurred on the water, and the water branch also has the jurisdiction. Development Zone Leave it to me in Chonggang District, and I will contact Jia Zhi and ask Jia Zhi to visit and inquire."
"Okay, help me tell Lao Jia that 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: "We need to understand the situation just mentioned as soon as possible. Once we 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 connect them together to see if there are any other clues?"
Lao Ding was really worried just now. He didn't know how to investigate this case. When Han Yu said this, he suddenly became enlightened and stood up immediately:
"Zhiqiang, you are responsible for visiting and inquiring about the waste material collection points and transformer manufacturers in Linghai and Dongqi. I am responsible for implementing what Xianyu just said."
"Okay, I'll go back to the squadron."
"Second Senior Brother, it's raining so heavily outside..."
"What was stolen were five transformers used for drainage. The city leaders are watching. Even if there is a knife outside, I will go and investigate immediately."
As the captain of the criminal investigation squadron, Fang Zhiqiang was under great pressure when a theft case of such a high value and bad impact occurred in his jurisdiction. He left at the last minute, not even having dinner.
Lao Ding did the same and braved the rain to go to the substation to understand the situation.
When his old unit was in trouble, Han Yu couldn't just sit back and watch. He quickly contacted Jia Yongqiang by satellite phone and asked Jia Yongqiang to organize a visit to help him inquire.
In fact, it is possible to contact them using VHF radio, but it is not conducive to confidentiality. The phone on the pontoon was unreachable, so we could only use the extremely expensive satellite phone to contact us.
At 8:46 p.m., the city leaders and leaders from the Water Conservancy Bureau, Agriculture Bureau, Transportation Bureau and other units finally returned.
Not only the command and dispatch room and the small conference room next door were requisitioned, but also the radio station and satellite phone were requisitioned.
The electric rice cooker and gas stove on the barge are too small to cook for so many people.
Han Yu was worried about what the leaders would eat at night, when Lao Zhang whispered: "Old Qian, we don't have to cook. The Sichang Township Government has prepared the meals and asked Bailonggang Hotel to deliver them."
Just as Lao Qian was about to speak, Xiaoyu snickered and said, "The boss saw that there were cigarettes, water, instant noodles, ham sausages and biscuits on my boat. He just bought a lot of them."
"So your dad's trip was not in vain?"
"Of course it's not in vain. This is for the government. Buying things is buying things, and gas money is gas money. I just asked the guy wearing glasses, and he said that Zhang Suo would write a certificate and he would help reimburse him later."
Han Yu laughed and scolded: "We are preventing typhoons and floods. Do you know how many party members and cadres and basic militiamen are on the river embankments, on the river embankments and at the drainage outlets? Everyone is fighting against the disaster, but you have the nerve to ask for gas money from them. .”
Xiaoyu smiled and said confidently: "They are preventing waterlogging, but my family has no land on the shore, so it has nothing to do with my family."
"Your family has no land on the shore, but your family has a building on the shore. Aren't you afraid that the building will be flooded?"
"That's true."
"So you can't just make your own calculations. Besides, you are also a party member now."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and don't ask them for reimbursement."
