Riverside police

"Yeah, why didn't you inform us about such a big event as leading Ge Diao to 'crossing the gap'?" Han Xiangning thought deeply.

Han Gong smiled and said, "I only found out in the morning."

As soon as Han Gong finished speaking, Xu Haoran explained: "San'er, Ning Ning, it's not that Uncle Han didn't notify you, it's that Uncle Ge didn't let you know. He didn't want to affect your work."

Han Yu felt a little regretful that he was unable to attend Lao Ge's "cross-que" banquet.

Xu Haoran felt that it was important to say it was important, and it was not important to say it was not important. After all, it was just a "free birthday", so let's just talk about work.

I used to think that the intelligence work of the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau was to establish good relations with several law enforcement agencies on the river and units along the river, and ask people to help pay attention to smuggling clues.

As I continued to work, I discovered that clues could be collected in this way, but the situation in Binjiang was different from that along the coasts of Dongguang and Jianfu. There were very few people openly engaged in water smuggling.

And the real major smuggling cases are not this kind of "simple and crude" smuggling, but high-intelligence crimes, smuggling by falsely reporting prices, falsely reporting the names of import and export goods, and even forging documents.

"My current work focus is on customs brokers, freight forwarders and import and export companies. I spend more time in the customs than in the bureau. I study and analyze various documents every day. I am so dizzy with research that I act like an accountant."

Xu Haoran said this, but his expression was full of accomplishment.

He found the right direction and knew the priorities. Han Yu was happy for him from the bottom of his heart and asked with interest: "Have you gained anything?"

"Yes. Last month, we found problems with two companies through this method and handed over the clues to the Investigation Division. Wang Ke organized an in-depth investigation and found that there were indeed problems with the import and export trade of those two companies. Yesterday, we officially established a case."

"Then do you usually go to the riverside?"

"Go, I will take half a day to go to the river every week."

Compared with the high-intelligence crimes on the shore, Han Yu was more concerned about the situation on the river. He looked at him with a smile and asked: "Is there anything harvested by the river?"

"Not yet." Xu Haoran suddenly remembered something and said: "San'er, when I visited the river, I found that cargo ships anchored on the river for the night were often stolen in the past two months. The biggest economic loss was that more than 30,000 yuan was stolen. Bucks cash.”

More than 30,000 yuan in cash alone was stolen, and it was only from one boat. This is no small matter.

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Did the ship owner report the crime?"

"I reported the crime and the Water Branch arranged for the police to go to the boat to have a look, but there is no news as of today."

"Do you know how the money was stolen?"

"The owner of the ship said that they were anchored at the anchorage, more than 200 meters offshore. The boat was a husband-and-wife boat, and there were no outsiders on board. There were not many ships staying overnight at the anchorage at that time, and they were not anchored next to each other. It was very likely that there were people on board. He rowed a boat up to it in the middle of the night and climbed aboard quietly to steal."

"It happens often. How often does this happen?" Han Yu asked with a frown.

Xu Haoran thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I know of seven cases. I went on the boat to visit, and when people saw my ID, they reported the matter to me and asked whether our branch would take care of it."

Han Yu asked: "Have they all reported the crime?"

"Basically, everyone has reported it, some to the Water Branch, and some to the Changhang Navigation Branch."

"Have you ever asked the Water Branch and the Long Navigation Branch?"

"How can I ask about this kind of thing? Besides, this kind of theft case with no clue is really not easy to solve."

"I'll call and ask."

…

There were seven cases that Xu Haoran knew about alone, and how many more cases would there be if Xu Haoran didn't know about it!

The security in Binjiang waters has always been very good. How could such serial thefts happen? It can be seen that there is a thief in Binjiang who specializes in stealing anchored ships, and it may even be a gang.

Of course, it could also be that they came from other places.

Han Yu didn't want to let him commit crimes crazily in front of his eyes, so he immediately called Zhao Hongxing, deputy director of the Water Branch.

Zhao Hongxing figured out the whole story and said with a wry smile: "Xianyu, I know what you are talking about. Bureau Wang and Political Commissar Ma attach great importance to these thefts. Not only did I board the ship to have a look, I even asked the technical police from the Criminal Police Detachment to investigate. Pass."

"Any clues?"

"The bastards who boarded the ship to steal were very cunning. We investigated several scenes and only found a vague footprint. We didn't even collect a single fingerprint."

Zhao Hongxing took a deep breath and continued: "You may not believe it if I tell you. Judging from the results of the on-site investigation, it should be a single person committing the crime, and it is very likely that a person swam from the shore to the side of the ship in the dark and climbed along the anchor chain. Get on the ship and commit the theft."

Han Yu was shocked: "Director Zhao, when was the last case that you received a report from?"

"Four days ago."

“It’s such a cold day, why don’t you go into the water and swim to the boat?”

"We thought it was impossible at first. The water was so cold that we might freeze to death."

"Then how did you conclude that the thief swam to the side of the ship?"

"The Changhang Branch received a report from a ship owner half a month ago, saying that he got up to relieve himself in the middle of the night, got out of the living cabin in a daze, and found someone standing on the side of the ship. He was startled, and so was the person. , just jumped into the river and ran away."

Han Yu asked in a low voice: "What happened next?"

Zhao Hongxing introduced: "Later he called for people, and his son and the crew he hired got up and used searchlights and flashlights to search. They found that there was no iron boat on the river near their ship. The bow deck and port side deck were wet, and the anchor chain was wet. There’s water, too.”

"Water ghost, water thief!"

"The water is good and the body is good. Liu Guixiang said we met a criminal thief!"

"Liu Guixiang also gave the water thief a nickname, so the Changhang Branch also attaches great importance to this series of thefts."

"Of course we take it seriously. As far as our two families know, there have been 17 incidents in the past few months."

Han Yu thought for a while and asked: "Have the crew members who have seen the water thief seen clearly what the water thief looks like?"

Zhao Hongxing said helplessly: "He didn't wake up at the time. He was in a daze. He only saw people, but not his facial features. He couldn't even tell his body shape clearly."

"Have you two taken any measures?"

"I adopted the old method of organizing forces to squat at several anchorages on the river. I squatted five times in total, for a total of more than ten days. But there are so many anchorages on the river, and we can't cover everything. "

"Have you ever asked the other side?"

"I asked. Although there have been cases of theft in our jurisdiction on the other side, nothing like this has happened."

"So that Jiangyang thief is very familiar with our area. He should be from our area."

"Liu Guixiang and I also think so. Because that bastard is so rampant and commits crimes continuously, he doesn't take our police officers seriously at all. We even asked several district and county public security bureaus along the line to help us investigate whether people with good water quality and good health dare to winter. People who went into the water and had criminal records were not found to be suspicious.”

I also used the trick of queuing to find out, but nothing was discovered.

Han Yu realized that this case was very difficult and suggested: "Director Zhao, although I have been transferred to the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau, I am still a public security officer. That bastard not only doesn't take you seriously, he also doesn't take us seriously." Here, we can meet tomorrow and figure out how to catch this water thief."

"Okay, should you come to our branch tomorrow or go to Liu Guixiang's place?"

"Go to your place. Haoran said that most thefts occur in your branch's jurisdiction. You must be the main ones."

"Okay, I'll call Liu Guixiang."

…

As soon as Han Yu hung up the phone, Xu Haoran couldn't help but ask: "San'er, Director Zhao and Liu Zhi can't do anything about that water thief, what can you do?"

"Although I don't have much else to do, I should be able to help."

"How to help?"

"Judging from what Director Zhao just said, the water thief should be a local."

"But Director Zhao also said that they asked several district and county public security bureaus to help investigate."

"That's the point."

Han Yu sat down and took a sip of tea and explained: "The police forces in several district and county public security bureaus are very nervous, and each one is busier than the other. If it is a murder case, they will definitely help with the investigation. But this is not a murder case, just A series of thefts will definitely be taken differently by people."

Xu Haoran suddenly reacted: "I helped with the investigation, but the investigation was not very careful?"

"Public security on the river is closely linked to security on the shore. Improving public security on the river cannot be achieved without the assistance of colleagues on the shore. Improving public security on the shore also requires the cooperation of us marine police. The two of them usually have little contact with their counterparts on the shore. If you don’t burn incense on a regular basis and come to Lao Zhang for trouble, how could they take their matters as their own?”

"It will be different if you come forward, people will give you face!"

"It's not about losing face. The main reason is that I have been dealing with them for so many years. We are relatively familiar with each other and have a good relationship with them."

Several districts and counties along the Yangtze River had soldiers who went to Beihu to fight floods and rescue operations with Han Yu last year. Some soldiers were even "introduced" from Linghai later. The top leaders of the party and government in several districts and counties have to thank Han Yu. I can imagine a few soldiers. The leaders of the district and county public security bureaus also want to give Han Yu face.

And as Han Yu said, he has been dealing with several district and county public security bureaus for so many years. Even if he doesn't go to the district and county bureau chiefs, he can go to the leaders in charge and the directors of several riverside police stations.

Xu Haoran hadn't seen Wang Ju for a while and said with a smile: "San'er, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll go to the Water Branch with you."

"OK."

Han Yu nodded, and then analyzed: "There are many people who are good at water, but not many people can go into the water in the cold winter. The weather is so cold, and the river is bone-chilling. A normal person will be numb from the cold within five minutes at most after entering the water. .”

Han Gong, who had remained silent, raised his head and said, "Those who fish in the river in winter are not afraid of the cold."

"Those people are also afraid of the cold. They went into the river wearing 'water boots'. They wouldn't be able to bear it without wearing 'water boots.'"

"So it's possible that he's a winter swimmer."

Han Yu smiled and said: "There are too few such people. As long as we investigate carefully, it should not be difficult to find or catch. The key is to have evidence."
