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 carefully inspected it, and the three of them were shocked by the inspection results.

Captain Wang couldn't believe what he saw, so he returned to 001 to get a measuring tape.

After measuring the size, I used a hammer to knock the rust on the winch in the pouring rain. I didn't return to the barge until I could see 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

Rivet-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, about 2.4 meters deep, and the total weight is estimated to be 600 tons. The hull is divided into two layers, and the deck

The cabin below was heavily weighted down and should have been loaded with stones.

There are two winches and four anchor posts at the bow and stern respectively for fixing the anchor chain. It seems that they are not well maintained. Although it has been eighty years, the two anchor plates can still rotate with hard work. The anchor chain is broken.

Naturally, 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 here from upstream."

Weird things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.

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."

"I don't think anyone 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 the anchor from getting out of 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 find it, you will not only have to bear the cost of the rescue, but you will even be fined by the port supervisor. After paying the rescue fee and fine, you will have to find a tugboat to tow it back, and the tugboat will also cost money. It is 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 side of the barge to find used tires, 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.

001, on the other hand, 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. He 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 with excitement: "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 like this."

Captain Wang walked onto the deck of the 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. Even though the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were closed to navigation today, some ships didn't know that they had to display their lights to remind passing ships to give way.

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.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After visiting in the rain for a while, we walked into the police duty room on the first floor of the barge. While squeezing the water from our clothes, we talked about the case.

"The stolen transformers were not three, but five."

"Wutai!"

Han Yu was shocked.

Fang Zhiqiang said with a wry smile: "At first I thought there were three stations, but later two village cadres reported the case, saying that the transformers at the drainage outlet of their village were gone."

Five power transformers for flood control and waterlogging 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, the chief of the criminal investigation section, the director of the Hong Kong District Branch and the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau were all transferred.

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, and no valuable clues have been collected yet." Fang Zhiqiang wanted to smoke, but the cigarettes in his pockets 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?"

"What is 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 explained patiently: "It is also a transformer that converts 10 kilovolts into 380 volts. Where there is a lot of electricity, a larger capacity transformer must be installed, and where there is less electricity consumption, a smaller capacity transformer must be installed.

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 model and diameter of the wire."

Ding Suo took several puffs of cigarette and asked puzzledly: "The wire has not been cut and stolen. What is the purpose of the wire?"
