Binjiang Police Affairs

The ocean is always mysterious and unpredictable, prone to sudden changes in mood.

Yesterday, it was like a demon, chaotically stirring up terrifying waves as if to swallow everything.

Today, however, it is as calm as a mirror, the sky seamlessly merging with the sea. Seagulls soar freely in the azure sky, and the sea glistens under the sunlight, tremendously beautiful.

Two unregister fishing boats are tied to the sides of the Fishery Administration Ship, drifting along the tranquil sea surface.

Director Liu of the San Zao Port Border Police Station had just finished educating over a hundred smuggling migrants and was busy organizing those in better physical and mental condition to clean up the chaotic cabin.

Because returning is not only during daylight but also involves night sailing.

It is very hot during the day and very cool at night. If they were left on the deck, they would catch cold, and crowding them all on the deck would also be unsafe for escorting.

Several armed police soldiers, fully loaded with live ammunition, stand guard at the bow and stern, ready for any situation.

Xiao Yu and a few crew members of the Fishery Administration Ship carefully transferred several heatstroke victims to the better-equipped Fishery Administration Ship. Veterans like Captain Zhang and Captain Chen were busy inspecting the main engines of the two unregister fishing boats, making tense final preparations to sail back.

Those smuggling migrants who are still severely seasick and haven't recovered are sitting cross-legged on the deck of the fishing boats, some with a vacant look, others with heads bowed in dejection, listlessly.

Perhaps, they are regretting their shattered "gold rush dream."

"The aft cabin is cleaned up now; you guys stop staring blankly, hurry up and grab your luggage to change your clothes."

"Did you hear that, get up!"

"You are covered in vomit; if you don't mind the filth and stench, hurry up!"

...

An hour ago, Political Commissioner Jiang and Director Zhou from his old unit said to wait twenty minutes before calling.

After waiting the twenty minutes and making the call, Political Commissioner Jiang and Director Zhou said the superiors were reviewing the situation and asked them to wait longer. Han Yu had no choice but to help Director Liu manage the aftermath.

It was not an easy task to safely escort six suspects and over a hundred smuggling migrants back. All aspects had to be considered to ensure foolproof security.

As they were busily overwhelmed, Xu Mingyuan called over the radio.

Han Yu could only notify Director Liu and then returned to the pilothouse of the Fishery Administration Ship.

"Salted Fish, Huang Anyong and his group are willing to cooperate, in fact, they dare not refuse. Opportunities are fleeting. If we delay further, Mr. Zhang will surely become suspicious. Whether we can seize the moment to expand our achievements now depends on you!"

"It's up to me, Big Brother, you think too highly of me. Right now, not only do I say it doesn't count, even Political Commissioner Jiang and Director Zhou must listen to the superiors."

Han Yu put down the radio and once again took out the satellite phone, and said helplessly: "Even if the superiors agree, we still have to wait for Captain Pei to arrive before we can set sail. With over a hundred people on two fishing boats, we definitely can't take them near the Japanese waters to make an arrest."

Although they successfully intercepted over a hundred smuggling migrants, the case was not yet solved.

The six suspects caught were just small fry; the mastermind was still at large, and not much of the illicit money was seized.

During this tough crackdown period, which police unit wouldn't want to achieve significant results?

Xu Mingyuan truly didn't want to miss this opportunity and asked in a low voice: "If the superiors agree, do we need to transfer all these people to the Fishery Administration and Coast Guard ships?"

"What else?"

"When can Captain Pei and his team arrive here?"

Han Yu calculated and said: "It won't be before 3:30 in the afternoon at the earliest."

Xu Mingyuan asked with a frown, "That slow?"

"They went ahead of us; they are far from us, no way around that."

"How about you call Director Zhou again, if the superiors agree, we could start preparing."

"Okay, I'll call and ask."

Han Yu understood his brother's urgent mood and immediately dialed Director Zhou's cell phone.

After waiting about half a minute, he finally got through and heard Director Zhou excitedly say: "Salted Fish, the Provincial Department leaders received our successful interception of the smuggling migrants and are very pleased, saying this is the biggest smuggling case ever cracked by Jiangnan Police!

The leaders of the Border Guard Main Corps, commissioned by the department leaders, are on their way to Binjiang. Director Chen instructs you to rendezvous

"Superiors don't distrust your combat capabilities; in fact, you have already proven through actual actions that you are fully capable of carrying out such tasks. But the meetup area is too close to the Japanese territorial waters, and having worked on ocean-going vessels, you should be very aware of how strong Japan's maritime law enforcement is."

"We are going to make arrests, not to start a war with Japan. Besides, we will be careful with the route to ensure we don't enter Japanese waters."

"Who can speak clearly about marine matters? Unlike onshore where clear national borders exist, if you encounter Japanese patrol boats, it could lead to he said she said situations and might even spark international disputes."

Zhou Huixin genuinely felt that the superiors' concerns were valid and emphasized again: "It's different for them; they have law enforcement vessels and even warships at sea, and airplanes in the sky, they can deploy instantly. What if they capture all of you? What would the superiors do then?"

Han Yu asked with a bitter smile, "Should we just quit while we're ahead?"

"What's wrong with quitting while ahead? Besides, you've been out at sea for several days and it's been tough. Listen, come back early."

Worried the young man might be considering other options, Zhou Huixin added with a smile, "Salted Fish, there's good news from your Political Commissioner. I'll give the phone to Political Commissioner Jiang, and he'll talk to you."

"Okay."

"Salted Fish, Director He and Director Jiang have just returned from the East Sea to the bureau. Director He reported to the superiors immediately. The leaders of Changhang Police Bureau are very happy. To put it bluntly, this is the first smuggling case cracked by our Changhang Police System this year, and also the largest ever smuggling case solved in the history of our Changhang Police System."

"Oh."

After days of anxiety, it was finally time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Political Commissioner Jiang was excited by the good news, holding the phone and smiling as he looked at Director Zhou and Political Commissioner Sun, saying, "Director Ding from Changhang Police Bureau has decided to personally come to Binjiang. He is taking this afternoon's flight to East Sea, East Sea Branch will arrange a car to pick him up from the airport and bring Director Ding here."

The local police have alerted Jiangnan Province Hall, and the leaders of Jiangnan Border Defense Corps are coming to Binjiang.

From the Changhang Police side, the Deputy Director-General of Changhang Police Bureau is also coming to Binjiang!

Han Yu was quietly reflecting on the significant impact of this case when Political Commissioner Jiang laughed again: "The vessel we borrowed is from the Fishery Administration Ship, which means the Binjiang Fishery Law Enforcement Corps was also involved in the operation. Director Zhou also hopes you can escort the person back to Binjiang, and he will accompany Director Liu of the City Agricultural Bureau to the pier to greet and comfort you."

With so many leaders going to the pier, it seemed impossible not to return.

Han Yu had to give up his plan to capture the mastermind, laughing, "Okay, once Coast Guard 3201 arrives, we'll head back."

Political Commissioner Jiang laughed with satisfaction, "That's the right decision because for this case, Directors He and Jiang personally went to East Sea to seek assistance. Old Jiang even spent over half a year with comrades from Four Factory Police Station in Ningbo monitoring the situation. You comrades executing the search and arrest missions at sea have it even tougher, it's time to put a perfect end to it."

Speaking of Four Factory Police Station, Han Yu couldn't help but think of Comrade Old Shi, and spontaneously said, "Political Commissioner, since we're returning, I plan to stop by She Island on the way to pick up Director Shi."

"Right, right, right, although Comrade Shi Shengyong couldn't participate in the final maritime capture operation, he also worked hard and did a lot of the preliminary work. We shouldn't forget him in such a visible matter."

"Thank you, Political Commissioner."

"No need to thank me, it's only right."

"Political Commissioner, then I'll hang up now."

"Wait a minute."

With so many leaders going to the pier, Political Commissioner Jiang couldn't miss this opportunity to showcase the achievements of Changhang Bureau. He quickly said, "When you return, take the North Branch Channel. Before you get close to the estuary, send me a telegram. I'll have Chen Zikun and Zhang Ping dispatch vessel 001 to the estuary to escort you along with the Coast Guard ship."

Han Yu asked instinctively, "Is that really necessary?"

"Safety first, after all, you're escorting so many people."

"But..."

"There are no buts, just follow orders and command."

"Yes!"

"One more thing."

Han Yu hastily asked, "Political Commissioner, what is it?"

Political Commissioner Jiang took a small sip of water, smiling, "Your father-in-law just reported the weather conditions a while ago, saying Ningning is coming back tomorrow. I'll speak to Director Tang later, and we'll arrange for her and Master Han to meet you at the pier."

The senior sister is finally returning home after completing her studies!

Han Yu felt delighted, looking bashful as he said, "I don't need her to pick me up, and certainly not my father-in-law either."

"Do you miss Ningning?"

"Yes."

"Does she miss you?"

"She probably does."

"That settles it then, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Political Commissioner Jiang smiled and continued, "As for your father-in-law, he also helped a lot this time, reporting the latest weather conditions every twenty minutes, providing meteorological predictions for our search operation, spending several days and nights without rest, managing all his personal needs at his office. Director He said, we also need to acknowledge your father-in-law's contribution!"

This was a significant victory with enough credit to go around.

Realizing that everyone involved in the operation would be commended by superiors, and considering his father-in-law was a military transfer official who cherished honors, Han Yu eagerly said, "Thank you, Political Commissioner, thank you Director He."
