Riverside police

Comrade Lao Shi was full of ambition and prepared to fight again.

In the morning, I called to tell him that Director Zhou had signed it and that the procedures for asking the bank for assistance were in hand. He emphasized that this matter should not be made public and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

After all, there are too few clues at hand, and it can be said that there are no eight characters. If you investigate with great fanfare and fail to find any clues in the end, you will be laughed at. Secondly, it is not in line with the case handling procedures. If it can be verified, it can cover up all the scandals. If the reason cannot be found but it makes a fuss, it will make it difficult for the leader to do his job.

It is not a trivial matter to just check the bank account without filing a case or conclusive evidence.

Han Yu even wondered if he had made Zhou Ju drunk first, and while Zhou Ju was dazed, he tricked Zhou Ju into signing the agreement.

Regardless of how the formality came about, it's definitely a good thing.

Just thinking of his cheerful tone on the phone, Han Yu felt a little guilty.

Because everything can be verified and the smugglers can be intercepted smoothly, there will be no results that Comrade Lao Shi hopes for.

The smugglers are hiding abroad, and their methods of organizing people to smuggle people across the country are very secretive. They only communicate by phone and will not show up at all. It is not easy to catch the smugglers, and it is equally difficult to seize the stolen money. They may have been transferred abroad.

All in all, this is a thankless job.

However, considering the risks of smuggling and considering the safety of so many smugglers, Han Yu decided not to tell him for the time being and let him organize "cronies" to investigate first.

As the Spring Festival approaches, there are more passengers than usual on passenger ships.

As the acting director of Bailonggang Police Station, Han Yu has to stay at the dock every morning and can't spare time to investigate.

There are no big things, but a lot of small things.

Just ten minutes ago, Zhang Ping found out that an old man brought a large bundle of firecrackers into the waiting room.

"Uncle, fireworks and firecrackers are dangerous goods and cannot be brought on board passenger ships."

"If I don't put it on the boat, what danger could there be?"

"You can't take it with you if you don't set it off on a passenger ship."

"Little comrade, I bought all the tickets and the boat is arriving soon. It's too late for you to ask me to send the firecrackers back. Please help me and let me get on the boat."

"I can help with other things, but not this one."

The old man's daughter and son-in-law are in Donghai. He went to Donghai this time not only to reunite with his daughter and son-in-law, but also to celebrate his grandson's birthday.

According to Linghai custom, grandpa wants to buy firecrackers.

He had no education, so it didn't make sense to reason with him. Han Yu simply pointed to the posters about dangerous goods on the wall and warned him very seriously: "Uncle, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. We don't want to make it so ugly, so we are talking to you." It was negotiated with good words. In normal times, or if it were a young man, not only would the firecrackers be confiscated, but they would also be fined according to regulations."

The old man couldn't read, but he could understand the pictures. He hesitated and muttered: "I could carry it before, but why can't I carry it now?"

"It was not possible before. Master, please stop saying so much. You will definitely not be able to get on the ship like this."

"Then what to do with so many firecrackers."

He would definitely not want to confiscate it.

It's not very humane to deal with an old man in the twelfth lunar month.

Han Yu didn't want the old man and his family to never come to Bailong Port to take a boat because of this incident, so he simply asked with a smile: "How much did it cost to buy these firecrackers?"

"Twenty-eight."

"It's not like you can't buy it from the East China Sea, so why do you have to go all the way to the East China Sea to bring it to you?"

"Firecrackers in Donghai are expensive. I have bought them in Donghai before."

It's not easy for the old man to make some money, so he lives on a budget.

Han Yu weighed it up and took out the wallet he just bought some time ago: "Twenty-eight, right? I bought it."

The old man couldn't bear to spend dozens of dollars to buy firecrackers that were confiscated, so he bothered him until now. Seeing that the young policeman was willing to buy them, he asked with a bit of embarrassment: "Do you really want to buy them?"

"Really bought it."

Han Yu took out the money and said with a smile: "Fortunately you only spent twenty-eight. If this bundle of firecrackers had been bought for thirty-eight, I really couldn't afford it. I only have thirty yuan."

…

The old man accepted the thirty yuan and found two yuan for Han Yu. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he was as tough as ever, put on a very unhappy look, and returned to the waiting room muttering.

Zhang Ping looked at the large bundle of firecrackers at his feet and said with a wry smile: "Fish Zhi, you actually paid for it with him. Is this appropriate?"

The whistle sounded outside, and the Baishen had arrived and was slowly docking to the barge at the pier.

Han Yu put on his armed belt, picked up the walkie-talkie, opened the south-facing door, and walked to the barge with Zhang Ping. He smiled and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It is impossible to celebrate the New Year without setting off firecrackers. Whoever I buy from is not buying."

"It seems your dad bought it yesterday."

"Then let's set off more firecrackers. My sister, brother-in-law, my brother's sister-in-law, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law will all come to have New Year's Eve dinner in a few days. There are many people and there are many children, so let's set off more firecrackers to make it lively."

Afraid that Zhang Ping would not understand, Han Yu stopped and looked back at the "China Bailonggang Welcomes You" that Party Secretary Wang of Bailonggang Village had just installed on the dock a few days ago at the suggestion of Zhang Erxiao, and sighed: "We are all Bailonggang people now, and we must do what we can for Bailonggang."

"What's the meaning?"

"Bailong Port is already in decline and depression. It cannot decline or become depressed again. For those of us working at the dock, passengers are God, and we must cherish every passenger. We cannot let that old man just because of this matter. He and his family are not willing to take a boat with us again."

“Would the service attitude be better?”

"It must be good. If the service attitude is not good, who would want to take the boat?"

"But we are the police."

Zhang Ping was amused. He thought about it and laughed again: "Yuzhi, don't coax yourself. You should know very well if others don't know. Whether people are willing to take the boat has nothing to do with the service attitude. In the past, cars Transportation is not as developed as it is now, so you can only go out by boat. Although the service attitude is not very good, it is not hard to get a ticket."

Han Yu agreed with this point of view. After all, the previous service attitude was indeed not very good, but he still smiled and said: "It is because we have to compete with the truck transportation, so we have to improve the service attitude."

At this time, with the help of two terminal employees, the passenger ship docked safely on the barge.

Two passenger ship sailors opened the guardrail. Shao Lei, who had just been promoted to deputy captain of the police force half a year ago, took a folder and took a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child off the ship first.

"Brother Shao, it's good morning."

"Why is it so early? We were late today because we were waiting for the tide. We were more than half an hour late."

Shao Lei habitually handed the folder to Zhang Ping and asked a policeman who had just disembarked from the boat to handle the handover with Zhang Ping. Then he turned around and said, "This kid doesn't have an ID card and hasn't bought a ticket. He took advantage of the fact that the ticket inspector at Shiliupu Pier wasn't paying attention." Those who got on the ship will be left to you."

There are many people who evade fares, but they mainly happen on long-distance passenger ships like Jiangshen and Jianghan.

Some fare evaders spend a small amount of money to buy short-distance tickets when boarding the ship in order to be able to board the ship and land, and then ask the passenger ferry staff to get another short-distance ticket when they are approaching their destination.

The ticket for the Baishen is not expensive, and it is a direct route. It will not dock at other terminals during the voyage, so it is rare for people to evade fares by taking the Baishen.

A large number of passengers began to disembark. Han Yu called aside the boy with messy hair and drooping head: "What's your name?"

"Ma Zhen."

"Where are you from?"

"Linghai people."

"Which town in Linghai do you live in?"

"Wannian Township."

"Which village is Wannian?"

"Changhe Village."

The accent sounded like a local, and he didn't look like he was lying.

Thinking that Shao Lei had run the Baishen Line for so many years and developed the habit of buying New Year's goods in Bailong Port. The pork he bought for him yesterday and the sausages processed and stuffed by others were placed in the office. Han Yu and Shao Lei put the fare evaders together. The young man took him ashore and led him into the office.

The boy with messy hair suddenly became nervous, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

Shao Lei saw it clearly and immediately gave Han Yu a wink.

Han Yu also noticed it. He opened the drawer and took out pen and paper. While gesturing for Ma Zhen to sit down, he asked calmly: "How old are you this year?"

"Seventeen."

"Come back from where?"

"East China Sea."

"When did you go to Donghai?"

"this summer."

"What are you doing in the East China Sea?"

"work to earn a living."

"What kind of job do you have?"

"Working as a handyman in a hotel."

"What's the name of the restaurant where I work, and which district of Donghai is it in?"

…

Ma Zhen answered fluently, but he was more nervous than before, and his hands were shaking.

Han Yu realized that there must be something wrong with this kid and asked, "You have been working for half a year and your boss hasn't paid you?"

"He always delayed paying. I didn't want to do it anymore so I came back. Uncle policeman, I know it's wrong to evade fares. If you let me go back, I will send the money tomorrow."

"Will you have money when you go back?"

"I want it from my dad."

"Wanli is so far away from here, how do you go back?"

"Walk back."

"You worked in Donghai for half a year. Didn't you have any luggage or a change of clothes, so you came back empty-handed?"

"No."

"How long has it been and you're still lying? Stand up!" Han Yu slammed the table.

Ma Zhen was startled, stood up hurriedly, and said with a grimace: "Uncle policeman, I...I...didn't lie..."

Han Yu stood up and backed him to the wall. While searching his body, he said coldly: "You said you worked in a hotel for half a year, and the boss didn't pay you, so you just wore the same clothes. But working in a hotel It’s different from working in other places. It’s impossible for you not to smell of cooking fumes. How come you don’t smell of cooking fumes at all?”

Ma Zhen was stunned by the question. He drooped his head and was speechless. He was so frightened that his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Shao Lei lost no time and said: "Communications are very convenient now. I will call the Pudong Public Security Bureau and ask them to help me check if there is the hotel you just mentioned."

Ma Zhen broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak, and he sat slumped in the corner.

Han Yu was sure that there was something wrong with this kid, so he immediately took out the handcuffs and cuffed him, then patted him on the shoulder: "I also want to call the Wannian Police Station and ask someone to help check if there is someone like you in Changhe Team 3." .”
