Riverside police

At 8:29 p.m., the captain and crew members who were on vacation came to check in in the shipping agency's car.

They had dinner on the ship. Faxes of passports, seaman's certificates and other documents, as well as translators from the shipping agency, were sent to them early, and the check-in procedures were completed very quickly.

They had been drifting at sea for eight or nine months and finally landed ashore. Naturally, they would not just sleep like this.

The captain sent the luggage into the room and asked the translator from the shipping agency to accompany him for a walk, as if he wanted to buy some Chinese gifts for his family.

But Binjiang is not the East China Sea. When it gets dark, there are no people on the street, and most of the shops are closed.

Unfortunately, the German captain could only pick out a few gifts in the club's small shop, buy a bottle of beer, and go shopping alone while drinking.

Han Yu originally thought that the three suspects would be looking for the captain, but it turned out that they were looking for the Indian crew members.

The crew members who came on board for rotation should have told them something. Shen Rulan said a few words to them in English in the corridor, and they showed signs of enlightenment and warmly invited Shen Rulan and Zhang Asheng into room 220.

Ye Xingguo was obviously worried about something, so he did not follow him in. Instead, he walked to the door of the duty room, chatting with Han Yu, a fellow villager, and helping lookout.

Han Yu chatted with him word by word, but he was secretly anxious in his heart.

I don’t know if Indians have loud voices to begin with, or they have developed the habit of speaking loudly on the ship. They speak so loudly that you can hear them standing at the door of the watch room.

But I don’t learn English very well. I can’t understand anything except yes and no.

Faced with this situation, Han Yu really felt that he would only regret the lack of books when they are used.

Han Ning was troubled by these loud voices. Several tourists living on the same floor found it noisy. She wanted to go over and explain to them that these foreign guests were only staying for one night and would leave early tomorrow morning.

Ye Xingguo realized that this was not going to work and took the initiative to remind Zhang Asheng and his wife.

Han Yu was about to take this opportunity to use the intercom to ask Zhang Suo if he could find someone who knew foreign languages ​​to come over and listen to what they were saying. Ye Xingguo left and came back, taking out twenty yuan from his pocket.

"Manager Ye, what are you doing?"

"Help me get some drinks."

"How much can you charge for a drink? That's too much for you."

"Buy a few more bottles and check if there are snacks like peanuts."

Han Yu took the money, looked at room 220 and asked, "How many foreign guests are you inviting to drink?"

Ye Xingguo smiled and said: "Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. Foreign friends are also friends."

Han Yu looked at the money in his hand and asked: "It's so late, it may be difficult to buy snacks, why not buy some braised vegetables."

"Forget about braised vegetables. They are vegetarians and neither smoke nor drink."

“Foreigners don’t eat meat?”

"They are Indians, go buy them quickly and use the rest as errand payment."

"Okay, I'll go in and find a bag, otherwise I won't be able to take it back after buying it."

Han Yu walked into the duty room, rummaged through a cloth bag, turned his back to Ye Xingguo, who was watching outside, and quietly stuffed the walkie-talkie into it.

Han Ning knew that after his brother came downstairs, he was all on his own, so he smiled and nodded to him.

Han Yu and his sister looked at each other, picked up their bags and ran downstairs.

There is a small shop in the club. Seeing that several foreign guests seemed to have no intention of shopping, the salesperson had already locked the counter and left for get off work.

Han Yu could only go out to find a small shop. Just as he reached the intersection, Lao Liu emerged from nowhere. He walked in front and turned his back to him and asked, "Xianyu, why are you down here?"

"Ye Xingguo asked me to come down and buy drinks for him. They want to treat the Indian crew members to drinks and snacks."

"what are they doing."

"Zhang and Shen entered room 220 and were talking to the Indians. They spoke loudly, but they were speaking English, and I couldn't understand a word they said."

"I understand, I will report to Suo Zhang immediately."

"It's best to find someone who can understand."

"It's so late, where can I find it?"

"Okay, I'll buy a drink first."

Worried that the walkie-talkie might be discovered when he returned, Han Yu looked back and simply took out the walkie-talkie and gave it to Lao Liu.

There happens to be a small private store nearby, but since the weather is cold, they don't have many drinks. There are only two types of locally produced orange water and Jianlibao on the shelves.

For entertaining foreign guests, the orange water in glass bottles is a bit not up to standard.

Han Yu simply ordered ten cans of Jianlibao, priced at 1.70 yuan each, a total of 17 yuan. I bought a few more bags of fish skin peanuts, and all the 20 yuan was spent. There was not a penny left, so there was no errand fee.

Returning to the second floor of the Sailors Club, he handed the drinks and snacks to Ye Xingguo. He could clearly hear the conversation still going on in room 220.

Seeing that the man named Ye also went in, Han Ning asked in a low voice: "San'er, what are they talking about."

"have no idea."

"After you left, Zhang Asheng went back to the room."

"What did he go back to do?"

"I went back to the room and got a calculator. Just now I made an excuse to deliver fruit and saw them calculating accounts, using a calculator and writing them down on paper."

"The Indians are also counting?"

"Yes." Han Ning straightened his work clothes and continued: "While calculating, it looked like he was bargaining. The woman named Shen is very powerful. Not only can she speak foreign languages, she also rolls up her sleeves and quarrels with the foreigners. "

Han Yu asked in surprise: "Noisy?"

Han Ning smiled and said, "Did you hear that? They started arguing again."

The commotion in Room 220 is getting louder and louder. It is rare to engage in illegal and criminal activities so blatantly. They are just relying on others not being able to understand foreign languages...

Thinking of learning maritime English to take the self-study exam for the marine engineering major, Han Yu felt that it was necessary to study hard.

If you really can't afford it, buy a radio cassette player and a few English tapes to practice your listening, otherwise you will be blinded again if you encounter this situation again.

It can be seen that the person named Ye is very nervous.

He did not come back, but went to the public restroom at the end of the corridor to smoke, and to remind the people in room 220 to keep their voices down.

Foreign guests have no rest, and waiters cannot be lazy and sleep.

They waited until almost half past ten. Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan seemed to have reached an agreement with a few Indians and walked out of Room 220 with smiles on their faces.

Several Indians who had just been talking together came out and they stood in the corridor chatting for a few more minutes.

After a while, he raised his arm and pointed at his watch, as if making an appointment. After a while, I shook hands with Zhang Asheng and his wife, and they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

"Xiao Han, the alarm clock in our room doesn't work very well. Could you please remind us at seven o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Manager Ye, you mean to wake you up at seven o'clock?"

"Well, things are almost done, we should go back tomorrow."

"Don't worry, those foreign guests will also wake up at seven o'clock, and I will wake them up at that time."

"Ok, thanks."

Everyone went back to their respective rooms, and the world was finally peaceful.

Han Yu was about to go downstairs to report the situation to Lao Liu when Suo Zhang had already called the duty room.

Zhang Suo asked a few questions briefly and asked him to go downstairs to the bureau for a meeting with Lao Liu and Xiao Liu. As for the guest room, let him ask his sister to help keep an eye on it for a while.

I drove to the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau in a Volga sedan driven by Liu Guixiang, and walked into the conference room on the west side of the first floor. I was shocked to find that not only Zhang Suo, Jiang Ke, and Zhou Ke were back, but there were also two more leaders wearing "breeches."

On the conference table, there is a large video recorder like the one used in broadcast stations.

"Bureau Chen, this is policeman Xianyu from the Yanjiang Police Station."

"You're just a little salty fish. You've been staring at me from noon to now. Are you tired?"

"Report to the leader, don't be tired."

"Xianyu, this is our Bureau Chen."

"Hello Director Chen!"

"I heard that your sister and husband are all employees of our Port Authority. When you get here, it's like coming home. Don't be nervous. Sit down first."

"Thank you Bureau Chen."

Director Chen is in his fifties, fair, smiling, and looks very kind.

Just when Han Yu was thinking that he didn't look like the police chief, Director Chen smiled and asked, "Junyan, are everyone here?"

"We're all here."

"Then let's get started."

"yes."

Zhang Junyan picked up a stack of photos that Director Xiao had developed in the afternoon, handed them to Director Chen one after another, and began to report on the work in detail.

Starting from Han Yu's inadvertent encounter with three suspects at the Sailors' Club, he reported to the arrest of two suspects who violated foreign exchange management regulations.

"This is Shi Xiantang, who has overseas relations. He had an uncle who fled to Taiwan on the eve of liberation, and later went to the United States from Taiwan. In March last year, his uncle returned to China to seek relatives. The conditions for meeting his family were not very good. Gave him 50,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons.”

"Originally, he was asked to build a house and go to Youyi Store to buy some home appliances, but he was reluctant to buy it. He only took out five thousand, at a ratio of one to one point two, and exchanged it for four times from Mao Xuebin, who was arrested together in the afternoon. I spent 6,000 yuan to renovate the house.”

Zhang Junyan paused and then continued: "But foreign exchange certificates are not RMB, so it is not easy to use them for savings directly. It is even more uneconomical to go to the People's Bank of China to exchange them for RMB at a ratio of 1:1 and then deposit them. If you exchange them with others at 1:12, you can save them instantly. There are so many people but so few people.

If he changed it several times like before, he felt that the risk was too great. So, under Mao Xuebin's instigation, we agreed to exchange them all at once for Ye Xingguo and Zhang Asheng, whom we had previously controlled.

Due to the rise in prices some time ago, he thought it was not worthwhile to exchange 1:12 for another one. He bargained in the alley in the afternoon and finally exchanged it for 1:125. "

According to the regulations of the People's Bank of China, one yuan of foreign exchange coupons is equivalent to one yuan of RMB.

Bureau Chen picked up the calculator, did some quick calculations, raised his head and asked, "So he used 45,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons to get 56,250 yuan from Ye and Zhang. "

"He didn't get that much because the middleman, Mao Xuebin, also wanted benefits. In the end, the buyer and the seller each gave Mao Xuebin 500 as the intermediary fee."

"He got fifty-five thousand, seven hundred and fifty."

"yes."

Zhang Junyan sat down and turned around and said, "Jiang Ke, you are keeping an eye on the dock. You should report the situation at the dock to Director Chen."
