At 5:30 p.m., Jiang Hechun, head of the criminal investigation detachment of the Changhang Branch, received a call from the bureau confirming that the leaders of the Ministry of Transportation had crossed the river to Guzhou. He immediately led nine police co-ops from the branch and Binjiang Police Station to the Maritime Safety Bureau again.

Traffic control center checks and monitors.

"The Gangster" hasn't done anything for more than a month.

It is not a bad thing that ships anchored in the riverside waters have not been stolen again, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the Changhang Shipping Bureau, which plans to take over the security of the Yangtze Riverside section, and the Water Public Security Bureau, which is actually responsible for the security of the Yangtze Riverside section.

If the suspect continues to commit crimes, even if he is not caught by the police stationed on guard, there will be clues left behind, which will definitely be conducive to the detection of the case. But if the suspect just stops like this, the previous series of thefts may become more likely to occur over time.

It will turn into eucalyptus!

If you can't even catch a crazy water pirate, what will the boat people think, and what will your superiors think?

Bureau Qi and Bureau Wang are under a lot of pressure. They had divided the labor as early as ten days ago. The Changhang Navigation Branch is responsible for supervising the monitoring of the Maritime Safety Administration, and the Water Branch is responsible for visiting and questioning enterprises and institutions along the line, and mobilizing the staff of docks and locks along the line.

Pay attention on your behalf.

Han Yu's intervention came later. The "temporary task force" formed by Han Yu, Xu Haoran, Zhao Hongxing, Liu Guixiang and the border inspection station chief of staff Li Jun was started from scratch.

The attitude of Qi Ju and Wang Ju is clear. Everything is focused on breaking the eucalyptus. It is good to have a two-pronged approach. No matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!

Jiang Hechun never thought about competing with Han Yu's group. He was an old subordinate of Jiang Xiaojun, the former criminal investigation section chief of the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau. Speaking of which, he and Han Yu were not outsiders, and there was no need to compete.

Moreover, it is the end of the year and all work needs to be summarized.

What everyone is thinking about now is to break the case as soon as possible, otherwise no one will have an easy life.

The reason why I came to the Maritime Safety Bureau to investigate the surveillance was because previous research and analysis showed that no matter how good the suspect was, he would not be able to stay in the water forever.

Judging from past experience, the suspect must have entered the water from the shore and must have gone ashore after the operation. However, he did not necessarily enter the water directly from the shore and swam to the anchorage, nor did he necessarily swim directly from the anchorage to the shore after the operation.

In other words, there is probably a boat on the river to meet you!

The Maritime Safety Administration has installed a lot of surveillance cameras in recent years, and they all monitor the river surface.

Because of this, Jiang Hechun organized forces to check the surveillance video of the Maritime Safety Administration based on the time of each theft, looking for suspicious ships passing by during that time period, especially those "three noes" small boats.

Repeatedly checking the surveillance camera relies on both eyes. The surveillance video is a wide-angle lens, and the ship in the video is not very clear. It is difficult to figure out what kind of ship it is, and it is necessary to organize efforts to verify it. You can imagine how much workload this requires.

Everyone came with instant noodles and planned to work overtime and stay up late.

While I was watching intently, the "old man" from the Binjiang Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment called me.

He is also a detachment leader, but the criminal investigation detachment leader of the Binjiang City Public Security Bureau cannot be compared to the criminal investigation detachment leader of the Changhang Branch. What's more, he has just joined the party committee of the bureau and is now the leader of the municipal bureau at the deputy division level.

Jiang Hechun did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly answered the phone and asked: "Wei Zhi, this is Jiang Hechun, do you have any instructions?"

"No one can instruct you after I instruct you. I am asking for your help."

"What's up?"

Wei Zhi looked at the materials sent by his subordinates, held up the phone and said: "Our detachment's heavy-duty team just broke up a case of intentional wounding. In order to gain lenient treatment, the suspect reported a clue that he was a thief."

Jiang Hechun subconsciously asked: "Is it related to our jurisdiction?"

"The suspect said that there was an employee at Binjiang Port who was watching over theft and that he and others stole steel from the Pier 3 yard half a year ago."

"half year ago?"

"Um."

"How much steel was stolen?"

"He doesn't know the specific situation. He only knows the suspect who was working with the employee. The Heavy Duty Brigade has already gone to arrest him. When he is caught, he will be interrogated first. After confirming this, he will ask for your help to catch the mole in your jurisdiction.

"

“Was there any steel theft at Pier 3 half a year ago? Binjiang Port didn’t report it!”

"Whether there is such a thing or not, we will find out soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. If this happens, I'll take you to catch it."

Wei Zhi served as deputy director of criminal investigation in the Hong Kong District Bureau and is very familiar with the situation in Binjiang Port.

The throughput of the port is so large and there are so many cargo yards, especially for goods such as steel and coal. If more than ten or twenty tons are stolen, the person in charge of the terminal may really be kept in the dark, and even the owner of the cargo may not know. Even if he knew, he would not be too lazy.

Reporting, because reporting is too troublesome, simply treat it as loss during transportation.

Thinking again of what the technical brigade had mentioned when they reported their work a few days ago, Wei Zhi asked curiously: "He Chun, have there been several thefts on the river? Has a foreign ship also been robbed?"

"We are investigating this matter." Jiang Hechun was embarrassed not to mention it.

"Any idea?"

"Not yet."

Wei Zhi put down the materials and asked, "Do you want our help?"

Jiang Hechun couldn't afford to lose that person, so he said without hesitation: "Wei Zhi, the situation on the river is different from that on the shore. I understand your kindness. Let's think of a solution."

"Okay, there are specialties in the art industry, and we really can't help with Jiang Shang's affairs."

As long as an incident occurs in Binjiang, regardless of whether it is under the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Public Security Bureau or not, the Criminal Investigation Detachment cannot sit idly by and ignore it. After all, it will not be solved for a long time, and it will ultimately affect Binjiang's image.

Wei Zhi still felt uneasy after thinking about it and asked: "Does Xianyu know about this series of thefts that happened on the river?"

"I know, he is also thinking of a way."

"As long as Xianyu knows, if you need to talk to me if you need anything, we can't help you much, but we have technical police."

"Thank you Weizhi, I won't be polite to you if necessary."

"Okay, hang up first."

…

At the same time, Zhao Hongxing, Liu Guixiang, and Xiao Gong, accompanied by Director Huang, drove hurriedly to a branch port on the river.

The police in the station had been waiting for a long time. They climbed ashore with a fisherman in his sixties and said eagerly: "Suo Huang, he is Tang Hai, and the situation I reported on the phone was provided by him!"

The space in the police car is too small to accommodate so many people.

The fishing boats in the port are not big, and with so many people boarding, they are likely to overturn the small fishing boats.

Director Huang simply took out a cigarette and handed one over, and then understood the situation on the shore: "Comrade Old Tang, when did you see someone climb up the shore from the river and get into a van?"

"August 27th."

"It's been several months, how come you remember it so clearly?"

The fisherman came to Zhao Hongxing's lighter, lit the cigarette, took two puffs, and said in an affirmative tone:

"School started on September 1st, and my eldest son came to pick up the child on the 27th. I sent my grandson ashore and stayed here overnight. That's what I saw that night."

Director Huang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "What time did you see it at night?"

"I don't have a watch, so I don't know what time it is."

"Is it the first half of the night or the second half of the night?"

"Midnight."

The old fisherman took several puffs of cigarette and explained: "As I get older, I can't sleep when I wake up. I remember that it was almost dawn soon after the car drove away."

The last theft of eucalyptus occurred on the river surface in the jurisdiction, late at night on August 27. And the eucalyptus water area is upstream of this branch port, less than two kilometers away.

The time is right!

The location is right too!

Director Huang was extremely excited. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Have you seen clearly what that person looks like?"

"No," the old fisherman pointed to the other side of the branch and said with a grimace, "He's on the shore over there. It's far away, and it's night, so he can't see clearly. He can only see the silhouette of the person."

Yangzhou dialect and Jiangcheng dialect have similar accents. They both belong to the Jianghuai language family and are not as difficult to understand as Binjiang dialect.

Zhao Hongxing heard the general idea and was extremely excited. He couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Old Tang, how did you discover that person?"

"Before going to bed at night, I lowered the net there and fell asleep. I heard the splashing sound of water outside and thought there was a big fish. When I got up and saw it, it turned out to be a human being! It startled me. It scared me.

Don’t dare to say anything.”

"Where is the car parked?"

"There, I'll take you to see it."

"Okay, please."

Everyone followed the old fisherman around the branch port and arrived at the parking spot late at night at the end of August.

Director Huang looked around and asked: "Old Tang, you stayed here overnight that day. You should know when the car came, right?"

"I don't know." The old fisherman scratched his neck and pointed to the dirt road down the slope and said, "It's so remote here. You can't usually see cars. When I sent my grandson ashore in the afternoon, there was no one around, let alone cars.

"

"So the car came at night?"

"Definitely is."

"What kind of car is it?"

"The van is white. There was a moon that night. I could see it clearly!"
