Binjiang Police Affairs Chapter 1114 15: Linghai Traffic Control Calling Linghai Car

5:24 AM, the sky gradually brightened.

Linghai Tuo 001 sailed to the upstream two kiloters from Dacang Liuhe Port, dropped a single anchor, displayed signal lights and signals, and awaited orders.

Water-based inspections are different from land-based inspections, but there are common aspects, such as setting a "pocket formation"!

The anchorage of Linghai Tuo 001 is located on the boundary line between the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau and the East Sea Marine Supervision Bureau. The inspection point of the Linghai Sub Battlefield is upstream about thirty-two kiloters away. If any upstream vessels discover enforcent vessels conducting inspections ahead and attempt to turn around and escape, Linghai Tuo 001 has enough ti to lift the anchor and intercept.

Not far away, two inland river cargo ships have run aground on a sandbar.

The north bank is Shiqiao River Pier on Zhuangming Island, where many cargo ships are anchored. The presence of Linghai Tuo 001 here is not conspicuous, at least it won't raise suspicion from suspect vessels.

This location is also not far from the Coast Guard Brigade and the Yangtze River Estuary Hydrological Station.

Han Yu sat in the cockpit, watching a convoy moving upstream, holding a phone while calling Chief Pei of the Coast Guard Brigade.

"Major, weren't you sent to Beihu to fight the flood? Why have you co to our area!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, the anti-smuggling battle has just comnced. Why aren't you heading out to sea to combat smuggling? How can you stay at ho?"

"What do you an just comnced? We've already been patrolling at sea for a large circle, even patrolling up to the Yungang waters!"

"Are you going out to sea or not?" Han Yu asked with a smile.

Chief Pei got up, sat on the bed and laughed, "We're not made of iron. After patrolling for such a large circle, we need to have a few days of rest, shouldn't we? Good thing you're not the leader, or you'd work us to death alive!"

"I was just asking."

Han Yu looked far into the direction of Liuhe Port, smiled, and said, "You guys have been fighting smuggling for a month now, we on the Binjiang side are just getting started. Chief Pei, you being at ho is just right. I've set up a pocket formation, the mouth of which is by you, but I only have one tugboat, and its speed is not fast enough. If the pocket mouth isn't tight enough or can't intercept, I'll ask for your help then."

"Are you really here?"

"Hmm."

"Have you switched careers?"

"Not for now, but combating smuggling isn't just customs and your coast guards' business now."

"Coming under our noses to set up a pocket formation as if we don't exist!"

"Chief Pei, don't be upset, I'm currently the commander of the Binjiang Water Anti-Smuggling Operation and also the Director of the Linghai City Anti-Smuggling Office. I've read the latest briefing from the Provincial Anti-Smuggling Office. It reports that in the past month, eight cases of smuggling refined oil were uncovered.

The involved persons used small sea vessels to transfer and purchase smuggled refined oil from large sea vessels abroad, then sailed the small sea vessel to Wusong Port and Liuhe waters, transferring oil to river ships under the cover of night, which then transported it via the Yangtze River, canals, and other inland waterways to places like Guzhou, Wuxi, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and even Wuhu in Hui'an."

Han Yu smiled and emphasized, "They dare to transfer smuggled refined oil right under your nose, what's wrong with setting up a pocket formation?

To be woken up before dawn is one thing, but to be teased as well.

Chief Pei chuckled and stood up, saying, "Liuhe Waters is long, we only have two patrol boats in total, and there's only this many people. With so many large and small ships passing in front of us every day, can we check them all?"

"That's why we need to collaborate."

"How do we collaborate?"

"Didn't I just say, I've set up a pocket formation, you just assist in securing the pocket mouth."

"I need to report and consult with the superior."

"No problem, I'll wait for your news."

"It's not even six o'clock now, how am I supposed to call the superior for instructions at this hour!" Chief Pei smiled and playfully said, "Salted Fish, when did you guys return?"

"The day before yesterday."

"Ca back the day before yesterday and joined the anti-smuggling operation today, why not rest a few more days?"

"Because all the enforcent vessels went with to Beihu for flood fighting earlier, our Binjiang Water Anti-Smuggling Operation got delayed until today, we can't delay any longer."

"That's tough."

"You guys work hard too, by the way, did you have any gains on this trip out to sea?"

"Yes, but not very big."

"What did you gain?"

"We seized over two hundred boxes of smuggled cigarettes in the Yungang Sea area. Originally we planned to dig deeper, but the superior instructed us to hand the case over to the Yungang Police Departnt and Yungang Customs for joint investigation."

Han Yu couldn't help but ask, "Chief Pei, did you see Director Yu while in Yungang?"

Yu Xiangqian, forr director of the Binjiang Water Police Branch, was once also the Deputy Chief of the Jiangnan Province Police Departnt, overseeing water security.

Back during the period of strict water crackdown nine years ago, Chief Pei t Yu Xiangqian when he was still a Deputy Captain.

He said with so regret, "Didn't see him, Director Yu is now the Deputy Mayor of Yungang City, how could soone like , a small Coast Guard Captain, have the opportunity to et with such a high-ranking leader."

"That's a pity."

"Yes, when you have ti soday, join us for a sea patrol, and when we get to Yungang, we'll go ashore together to visit Director Yu."

While they were talking, Wu Hai Li's voice ca over the high-frequency radio.

"Secretary Han, Secretary Han, this is Wu Hai Li, we just issued a notice that a large water inspection is being conducted in the Sanhe waters, reminding passing ships to slow down and pay attention to avoid, while also informing them to be ready to receive instructions to proceed to anchorage for inspection. anwhile, the radar has detected a cargo ship in the waters two kiloters downstream of Buoy 43 turning without approval in violation!"

"Do you know the ship's na or number?"

"I don't know."

"Have you inford the first group?"

"Currently informing."

"Okay, I'm awaiting the first group's update."

...

Although Wang Yun, the Director of the Binjiang Customs Linghai Office, is the anti-smuggling team leader of the Linghai Sub Battlefield, her main responsibility is to lead customs officers in boarding and inspecting ships.
