Riverside police

At 5:45 p.m., Jiangnan Passenger 901 sounded the whistle and slowly left the Bailong Port Passenger Terminal.

This is a ferry that has been sailing for more than 20 years. It has been running on the Bainiu Line since it was launched. Over the past 20 years, no one knows how many passengers have taken it to and from Linghai and Tamming Island.

There were very few passengers on the ferry today, only a few old men and women who came to Linghai to visit relatives in the morning.

There were a lot of people on the dock. Deputy Director Wang in charge of passenger transportation from the Port Authority came, and a deputy director from the Linghai Municipal Transportation Bureau came.

The person in charge and employees of the Bailonggang Passenger Terminal are all here. The auxiliary police officers from the Bailonggang Police Station and the 3rd Marine Police Brigade are here. Jin Weiguo and Lao Ge from the 3rd Harbor Patrol Brigade are also here. Even the Bailonggang Ship Lock Management Office and Several officials and workers from the Jiangbian gas station came.

Officers from the Publicity Section of the Port Authority and reporters who came after hearing the news were busy taking photos. Watching the ferry sailing farther and farther, Bailonggang Police Station Chief Liu Xinmin had tears in his eyes.

Because this is the last voyage of Jiangnan Passenger 901, after sending a few old men and women to Niupeng Port, the four ferries including Jiangnan Passenger 901 will be sold to a company in Zhejiang that specializes in second-hand ships. The White Bull passenger route with a history of more than 100 years has also been suspended.

And the suspension this time is different from the past. It will not be resumed after the suspension.

First, with the Bainiu Ferry put into use, passengers whose homes are far away from the docks on both sides choose to take cars to cross the river via the ferry. The passenger flow is getting less and less. In the past two years, the Bainiu Passenger Transport Line has run once Compensating for one trip is completely operating at a loss.

Second, the sedimentation is severe, and the ferry is different from the Baishen and Bailiu passenger ferries. The ferry has to run several times a day, so it is impossible to wait for the tide to set sail.

In fact, as early as a year ago, the car-passenger ferry service between Bailong Port and Niupeng Port was suspended.

In short, with the departure of Jiangnan Passenger 901, Bailonggang Passenger Terminal will only have two passenger routes, Baishen and Bailiu, and one high-speed passenger route between Bailonggang and Wusongkou in the East China Sea. And these three There is only one flight per day.

I can imagine how deserted the ticket office and waiting room will be from now on.

In the morning, the Baishen, Bailiu and high-speed passenger ferries will dock at the port. Passengers from the East China Sea or Liuhe Port will disembark, and passengers from the East China Sea or Liuhe Port will board the ship. It may be lively, but when the Baishen, Bailiu and high-speed passenger ferries leave, , it will become deserted. It is estimated that there will be few people after nine o'clock in the morning.

Lao Liu has worked in Bailong Port for decades. He has experienced the busiest period of Bailong Port's passenger traffic. Tens of thousands of passengers were sent a day. Whether it was to go to the East China Sea or Liuhe, it was hard to get a ticket. The waiting room was always crowded. The water is so tight that I don’t know how many nearby villagers have made a fortune from the tourist business.

That prosperous scene was gone forever, and one can imagine Lao Liu's mood.

Lao Zhang, who came to see off Jiangnan Guest 901, also felt bad. He really missed the days when there were many scalpers in Bailong Port. Scalpers were very annoying at that time, but the activity of scalpers reflected the prosperity of Bailong Port.

Lao Ding could understand Lao Liu's mood at this moment, and joked in a relaxed manner: "Liu Suo, you are better than me. Although the ferry has stopped sailing, Baishen, Bailiu and high-speed passenger ships have not stopped sailing. At least Bailonggang Police Station It's still there. It's not like I was on duty at the bus station for a few days, but the bus station was completely destroyed."

Liu Xinmin looked at the turbid river water and said with a wry smile: "Bai Shen and Bai Liu have been operating miserably. It is said that the high-speed passenger ships have not even made back their capital. It is estimated that the remaining three routes will not last a few years."

"You are about to retire early. Even if you don't retire early, how many more years can you work? Anyway, the Bailonggang Police Station will not close its doors because of your appointment."

"That being said, I have been working in Bailong Port since I started working and have worked here for decades."

"The roads are getting better and better, and automobile transportation is becoming more and more convenient. The decline of water passenger transportation is an inevitable trend. There is no way around it."

Although Chen Zikun also felt it, he didn't feel as deeply as Comrade Liu. He asked curiously: "Liu Suo, what will people buy the ferry for after it is decommissioned?"

"It may be resold to countries like India and Bangladesh, or it may be towed directly to be dismantled and sold as scrap metal."

“Sell to India and Bangladesh!”

"Those countries are poor and have poor shipbuilding technology. They cannot afford new ships and there is demand in this area, so they can only buy old ships. I heard that many passenger ships that have been retired in the past two years have been sold to Southeast Asia."

Jiangnan Guest 901 gradually faded away, and only a black spot could be seen.

Liu Xinmin remembered something that the bureau leader called to explain in the afternoon. He looked back and saw that the leaders and reporters were gone. He whispered: "Zikun, follow me to the office."

Chen Zikun asked subconsciously: "What's the matter?"

Before Liu Xinmin could speak, Lao Zhang patted his arm and said with a smile: "Good thing!"

Lao Ding also knew what was going on, smiled slightly, and left first with Lao Zhang.

Zhang Ping and Xiao Gong, who had just returned with Chen Zikun a few days ago, didn't know why. Thinking that they couldn't leave people on the pontoon, they said hello to Lao Liu and Chen Zikun, went ashore with Jin Weiguo and Lao Ge, got into the jeep and went back together.

Lao Liu took Chen Zikun into the Bailonggang Police Station, walked to the door and asked with a smile: "Zikun, are you interested in being transferred to our station as a deputy instructor?"

Although he is also an instructor now, he was the instructor of the Third Marine Police Brigade of the Water Branch.

The Third Marine Police Brigade is not only in name only, but has no soldiers under its command, and is only a full-level unit.

Although the Bailonggang Police Station does not have many police officers, it is a department-level unit with a director, instructors, deputy directors, and deputy instructors.

Therefore, changing from a principal to a deputy is not a demotion but a promotion.

Chen Zikun couldn't believe this was true, and said anxiously: "Liu Suo, this is not something I can transfer if I want."

The person in front of me is considered one of our own, so there is no need to beat around the bush.

Liu Xinmin lit up a cigarette and puffed out a puff of smoke and said: "Xianyu has been deployed by the Ministry to perform tasks. I don't know when he will come back. Even if he can come back in two or three months, it is hard to say whether he will be deployed by his superiors again in the future. As for me, as Ding said just now, I won't be able to work for a few years even if I don't retire early.

The bureau leader believes that someone is needed to team up with Xianyu, and this person must be able to take the lead when Xianyu is on a business trip. But there are not many police officers who are familiar with the conditions in Bailong Port and even the North Branch waters. They need to understand public security, firefighting, and have work experience. At the same time, they must be young and have academic qualifications.

Political Commissar Jiang recommended you to He Bureau. After reading your resume, He Bureau thought you were qualified and even admired you. After all, you are an undergraduate who graduated from a regular college, and our branch is improving the quality of the police and carrying out regular construction, so we need highly educated talents like you. "

I thought that with the adjustment of the leadership team of the Changhang Branch, the matter of being transferred to the Changhang Branch was over. Unexpectedly, another village had a bright future.

Chen Zikun was overjoyed and asked with an embarrassed look: "Whi Bureau agreed?"

"Agreed, I'll call you at noon and let me talk to you first. If you are willing to be transferred, I will arrange for the Political Department to coordinate with the Political Department of your municipal bureau to help you go through the transfer procedures."

"I do."

"It's good if you are willing, but the burden on your shoulders will be heavy after you are transferred."

Old Liu knocked the cigarette ashes and continued: "Liu Wenju and Guo Zhengguo's transfer to our branch has basically been accepted. Considering that the Binjiang Port Fire Squadron and the Gaorugang Fire Squadron need people more, they will be leaving in a few days. .

From now on, there will only be four police officers in Bailong Port, Xianyu, you, Zhang Ping, and Xiao Gong, and three auxiliary policemen, Captain Fan, Lao Zhu, and Lao Hu from our station. There are many things going on in Xianyu, and it’s hard to say what will happen in the future. Will not be assigned by superiors to perform this or that task. "

The more you know, the more things will happen naturally.

Chen Zikun finally came to the end of his hardships and said hurriedly: "I know, please rest assured Liu Suo, I will definitely correct my attitude, cooperate with Yuzhi's work, and help Yuzhi take care of his home."

"Actually, there is no need to tell you this. You and Xianyu have been friends for many years. You have been fighting side by side many years ago. You are both good friends and comrades-in-arms. You will definitely cooperate well. Mainly because the bureau leaders have told them that they Let me just say that."

"Thank you Liu Suo."

"Don't thank me, just thank Xianyu if you want to. He is too busy. The bureau leader is so busy that he needs someone to work with him and look after his house."

Speaking of salted fish, Chen Zikun couldn't help but ask: "Liu Suo, where did he go?"

Liu Xinmin shook his head: "I don't know."

"Where's Xiang Ning? Do you know where Xiang Ning went?"

"You didn't ask Jin Da?"

"I asked, and Jin Da said that Director Zhu just asked him to take charge of the work of the brigade, and did not say where Xiang Ning went."

Liu Xinmin knew where Han Xiangning had gone, but he couldn't tell him, so he simply said perfunctorily: "I guess he went to find salted fish."

…

At the same time, Zhu Chunmiao, who rushed to the Bayi Hotel as soon as he got off work, was listening to Xiao Kong, who stayed in the hotel, reporting on the investigation progress of several groups of people.

"Han Da and Dong Ke arrived at the Nanhai Maritime Surveillance Bureau at 3:30 in the afternoon, but they encountered a new situation as soon as they arrived there."

"What's new?"

"I don't know what went wrong with the people who were secretly causing trouble. They didn't intercept the official letter sent by the Nanhai colleagues to the Beng Port Supervision Bureau in Hui'an Port, but they actually received two replies, one true and one false! For the Nanhai colleagues, this is evidence. They immediately reported it to the Ministry of Transportation.”

Sister Zhu whispered: "We also reported it."

Xiao Kong hurriedly explained: "There is nothing wrong with reporting, but it will involve the jurisdiction of the case, especially the public security side. It is said that the Ministry of Transportation is asking the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation to study and see which public security bureau is designated to be responsible for the investigation."

Binjiang has the Changhang Public Security Bureau, and Donghai not only has the Changhang Public Security Bureau, but also the Donghai Port Public Security Bureau and the Maritime Public Security Bureau.

Nanhai was affiliated to Dongguang before it was established as a province, so cases related to the transportation system in Nanhai are generally under the jurisdiction of the Dongguang Maritime Public Security Bureau, which is also affiliated with the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Transport.

Thinking of this, Sister Zhu subconsciously asked: "What did Xiang Ning say?"

"Han Da said that the Changhang Navigation Branch has the same jurisdiction. We must not delay the fighter plane, but must seize the opportunity. She discussed with Jiang Ke and decided to ask a team to go to the Shen Station in Xiguang. They immediately summoned them to provide false materials and organized the crew to go to the South China Sea. The persons in charge of the two shipping companies taking the exam should first find out the source of the false certificates."

Xiao Kong glanced at the phone record and added: "She introduced Jiang Ke to her colleagues in Nanhai, and then set off for Xiguang with Dong Ke. They are on the way to Xiguang now."

"How did they get there?"

"There are direct ships from the South China Sea to Xiguang and Haibei, and those two shipping companies are in Haibei."

That girl worked really hard to help Xianyu raise funds to build a new boat.

Sister Zhu nodded slightly and continued to listen to the report.

After figuring out the progress and confirming that it was unlikely that there was a mole in the bureau, she finally relaxed, walked into the office, took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of her old leader.

Director Feng received the call and subconsciously asked: "Why did you remember to call me?"

"You are my old leader. Why don't you call me to say hello if you have nothing to do?"

"It's not as simple as greetings."

Sister Zhu looked behind her and asked with a smile: "Old leader, was Xianyu kidnapped by you?"

Director Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did Ning Ning tell you?"

"Um."

"I actually forgot to remind her not to talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, she only told me, not anyone else."

"That's good."

"Old leader, what is your mission? Aren't you earning a high salary at COSCO to bring your grandson a happy life? Why did you think of abducting the salted fish?"

"Enjoying peace and happiness is not as pleasant as you said."

Director Feng smiled and explained: "Our company is an agent for a shipping business, and we need to arrange for someone who is politically reliable, knows everything, and can order everything to escort the ship. But less than a year after I was transferred, the head office's No one is fully recognized, so I was asked to find a suitable candidate somewhere for a while."

Sister Zhu asked: "So you thought of salted fish?"

"Don't worry, there's no danger. It's mainly about running errands."

"But Ningning is pregnant."

"I know, but this task is too urgent. It's hard to find a versatile person like Xianyu."

Director Feng knew that Sister Zhu cared about Han Xiangning and Xianyu very much. He thought about it and smiled: "Let's put it this way, if Xianyu doesn't go, I will go there myself. But I haven't been to the sea in many years, and I don't understand. English, if you go there it will only cause trouble for others."

Sister Zhu pretended to be unhappy and said: "Old leader, you can't just let Xianyu leave Ningning, who is several months pregnant, on a business trip just because he is capable."

Director Feng didn't know how to explain it, so he simply smiled and said: "This difference can't be made just by anyone. Although the escort work is very hard, it only has benefits and no harm to the salted fish. You may not believe it now, wait a few days You’ll know next year.”

"Only good and no bad?"

"What are you lying to?"

"No danger?"

"No, I told you that he is just an errand boy. What dangers can there be in running errands and doing errands?"

The old leader was a soldier before, and he would never lie to others.

Sister Zhu finally felt relieved, thinking that the old leader had been transferred to COSCO, and Xianyu was worrying about where the funds for building new ships would come from. Even Ning Ning, who was pregnant, was running around raising funds. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Old leader, You have watched Xianyu grow up, so you have to help him when he encounters difficulties."

"What difficulties does he have? We met before he went on a business trip. Why didn't he tell me?"

"He's embarrassed."

"What's going on?"

Sister Zhu briefly talked about Xianyu's plan to build a new ship, and then changed the topic: "I have learned that the fire brigades in several places have jointly built fire boats with large companies in the port area. You can help the city build a new ship on the Binjiang River." The shipyard has become the shipyard of COSCO, and you are now the leader of COSCO. Can you sign it and let the shipyard contribute some money to build a new ship with Xianyu? "

Director Feng laughed and said: "Chun Miao, you think too highly of me. Besides, there is a precedent for companies to unite with the fire department to build fire boats, but they are all large chemical companies in the port area. If they don't unite with the fire department to build, they will have to Build it yourself according to regulations.

The shipyard is not a chemical company, let alone a large chemical company. The superiors do not require shipbuilding companies to prepare their own fire boats. Don't say that I don't have the right to control this. Even if I had the right, I wouldn't be able to say this. "

Although the old leaders were transferred to central enterprises, they had no real power.

Sister Zhu felt a little regretful and sighed softly: "In that case, we can only let Xianyu figure out his own solution."

Director Feng thought it was nothing, and said meaningfully: "It's good to let him find a way on his own. This is also a kind of exercise, letting him know that he must not only keep a business, but also start a business."

“Starting a business is hard.”

“Difficulty is what makes it challenging.”

"A leader is a leader, whatever you say makes sense."

"Hahahaha, you are the deputy director now, it sounds like you are not the leader yourself."

"What kind of leader am I? Director Feng, Binjiang is where you worked. Come back and have a look when you have time. My old Qin is going to the capital for project approval in a few days. It is difficult to get in through the ministries and commissions. If you know anyone, then I will Please help introduce me."

"I don't have any friends. I can't help you, but I have enough food to take care of, hahaha."
