Binjiang Police Affairs

Chapter 1393: Chapter 197: Check If I’m a Fugitive!

The summary and analysis meeting on joint operations on the water was essentially a gathering of old colleagues and old comrades.

There was no distinction between those on stage and those off stage, nor was there a need to sit upright and serious; everyone sat together, openly speaking their minds.

"The situation at Jiuwei Port’s Water Building Materials Market may involve a gang that requires our attention." Zhao Hongxing politely declined the cigarette offered by Ma Jintao, resting his chin on his hand, and said, "Although the jurisdiction over security there isn’t clear, we know we can’t ignore it. Tomorrow, I’ll first arrange for two people to go to the market to investigate."

There has always been a dispute over the jurisdictional boundaries between the Changhang Bureau and Water Police Station.

The security at several places on Jiangxin Island, especially at the Jiangxin Island pier, is also disputed between the Water Police Station and Gaoru, just like with the Changzhou Police Bureau.

Perhaps after working alongside Salted Fish for so long, and possibly due to the involvement of land-based colleagues this time, everyone was "united against outsiders."

Liu Guixiang, the Deputy Division Commander of the criminal investigation department at the Changhang Bureau, very straightforwardly believed that any matters related to the river should be under the jurisdiction of the Changhang Bureau and Water Police Station. He looked up and said, "Director Zhao, we need to arrange someone unfamiliar with the area. You guys deal with local contacts more often; your police or auxiliary police, like that ’Third Brother,’ might be known to them. How about I arrange for someone to investigate?"

"No need for such hassle."

Ma Jintao lit a cigarette, confidently saying, "Our Third Team always manages the Changzhou section and Linghai section. We rarely go west, so it’s unlikely that ’Third Brother’ knows our team’s police."

Han Yu, still an anti-smuggling police officer, couldn’t intervene in such cases. He was about to joke about assisting in the arrest once the investigation was confirmed when Xiao Yu suddenly remarked, "Old Liu, a few sketchy troublemakers frequently go to the newly opened internet café near the East Gate of the Port Authority. The port district falls under our station’s jurisdiction, so we can’t ignore it."

"Sketchy troublemakers, how are they sketchy?"

"They refuse to pay for internet access, and both the café owner and staff seem intimidated by them. Once inside, they strut around and make noise. If anyone stands up to them, they resort to intimidation."

"How did you find out?"

"I got a membership card at the café; I often go online there."

Han Yu didn’t expect his good brother to discover leads about illegal activities just by playing games at an internet café, so he couldn’t help but laugh and ask, "Xiao Yu, aren’t you the type to despise such scoundrels?"

"I want to catch them, but those few little punks haven’t acted out, and I don’t have evidence of them committing other crimes. Even if we brought them to the station, we’d only be able to criticize them and let them go."

Xiao Yu paused, then, with a somewhat embarrassed smile, said, "The people at the café don’t know I’m police. If I started catching people, they’d surely be afraid of me and wouldn’t want to hang out with me. Moreover, I am police; if word got out that I frequent internet cafés, it wouldn’t look good."

Undoubtedly, the main reason for not arresting was fearing that his identity might be exposed, and no one would dare to interact with him anymore, not the lack of evidence.

Han Yu found this quite amusing and asked further, "Are you going online tonight?"

"Not tonight, I’m going home tonight."

"Why not, don’t you like going online?"

"I can’t go as often, not completely abstain, but reduce the frequency." Xiao Yu scratched his neck, then, with extreme embarrassment, said, "Uncle Li somehow found out I love going online and called me yesterday."

"Instructor Li?" Ma Jintao asked, barely able to suppress his laughter.

"Uh-huh, he scolded me on the phone, asking if I was planning to divorce Yu Zhen, and if I had given up on family and Little Crocodile."

"How did you respond?"

"What could I say? I could only admit my fault. Luckily, he didn’t make me write a review or a promise letter."

The leadership at Changhang Bureau pampered him, his parents couldn’t control him, even Salted Fish’s words hardly got through to him now, only Li Weiguo could manage him!

His fear of Li Weiguo was quite normal.

To know, it was Li Weiguo who brought him from the fishing boat to the Yanjiang Police Station, teaching him to read and write using the People’s Daily and Mao’s Selected Works alongside Old Qian.

After Xu Sanye passed away, Li Weiguo became the most respected elder in their family.

No matter the issue in their home, including his marriage to Yu Zhen, it involved inviting Li Weiguo to help organize and having him sit at the head of the table during meals. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Ma Jintao understood these circumstances well, sympathetically patting his arm and said with deep meaning, "Having elders who care about you is a blessing; don’t forget that."

"I know, I’ve thought it over. I’ll just go to the internet café once a week from now on."

No sooner had Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xu Haoran raised his head and said, "Salted Fish, I met Director Gu this morning. Director Gu said the provincial bureau is sending someone over, and that person might be assigned to your Water Anti-Smuggling Department."

"Who’s coming over? Do I know them?"

"Have you been to the provincial bureau?"

"No."

"Well, there you go. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize them. I don’t know them either."

The fact that Han Yu was being transferred back to Changhang Bureau wasn’t a secret among the old comrades in attendance. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Zhao Hongxing analyzed, "President, I suspect the person scheduled to be transferred to your branch is intended to replace you."

"I’m not transferred yet, and they’re already arranging my successor? Upper management is too pragmatic."

"Upper management must first ensure the Water Anti-Smuggling Department’s operations remain unaffected." Xu Haoran patted his arm, advising, "If that person is indeed sent to your department, don’t give them a hard time."

"How could I? I just find it sudden."

...

The pursuit operation on the water had temporarily come to a halt, and the computers that were previously moved to the police law enforcement boat needed to be moved back.

This time, the Armed Police reinforcement class on rotation duty did not have an officer leading, so Class Leader Wang Xiaosheng acted as the platoon leader, fully responsible for the class’s daily management, military training, and political studies.

Han Yu and others were having a meeting in the conference room while Wang Xiaosheng led the soldiers at work.

Just after moving the computer back to the office, Aunt Ding, who cooked in the canteen, came with Boss Qian, who was in charge of delivering vegetables, grains, and oil to the camp.

Auxiliary police from the customs were in charge of the food expenses for the Armed Police, and purchases of vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauces, and tea were recorded first, with a settlement with the delivery boss at the end of each month. However, the amount delivered needed to be verified and signed by the class leader or deputy class leader.

The soldiers were discussing the use of computers for escapee tracking.

Aunt Ding curiously asked, "Xiao Wang, how do you catch fugitives with a computer?"

"The computer contains information on fugitives. By entering an ID number or name and address, we can check if someone is a fugitive."

"That’s so advanced?"

"This is a computer, each costing over ten thousand!"

Boss Qian, who had been delivering vegetables for a long time and was well-acquainted with the anti-smuggling police and Armed Police at the camp, found it interesting and couldn’t resist taking out his driver’s license: "Xiao Wang, can you use this? Enter my ID to see if I’m a fugitive."

Wang Xiaosheng laughed and said, "I can’t operate it, but Xiao Zhang can."

While the Armed Police soldiers were assisting customs, customs also organized many activities for the soldiers in addition to ensuring their living conditions.

For example, organizing soldiers to memorize the tariff schedule and then holding competitions with rewards for rankings. They also organized soldiers to learn computer skills and go to nearby red tourist sites for patriotic education.

During water pursuit operations, Han Yu had Xiao Yu teach Xiao Zhang, who had learned computerized accounting before enlistment, how to use a computer to check for escapees.

Xiao Zhang felt an itch to use the computer as soon as he saw it and joked as he took Boss Qian’s driver’s license: "Boss Qian, I can check, but think it through first."

"Think about what?"

"It doesn’t matter if we don’t check, but if it turns out you’re a fugitive, you won’t be able to leave, you’ll be stuck here!"

Wang Xiaosheng also lifted his arm to point at the small delivery truck Boss Qian used for vegetables and teased, "We’ll even impound the truck."

Boss Qian chuckled, waved his hand grandly: "Check! I want to see if I’m actually a fugitive!"

"Are you really checking?"

"Of course, I’m not afraid. I’ve never even had a traffic violation, how could I be a fugitive?"

"Xiao Zhang, I remember my ID number. Check me after you check Boss Qian." Aunt Ding found it amusing too, especially since it was a computer, something she rarely saw outside of cooking for the camp.

They were idle anyway, so why not check?

In fact, after learning how to query and match, the first person Xiao Zhang checked was himself, and then, at the strong request of the class leader and his comrades, he helped to check them too.

He turned on the computer and opened the fugitive search system.

The driver’s license number is the same as the ID number, and when you are out, the driver’s license can be used as an ID.

He glanced at Boss Qian’s driver’s license and quickly typed the ID number into the keyboard, then hit the Enter key.

Suddenly, he froze.

Wang Xiaosheng found it strange and walked around the desk to look behind Xiao Zhang, only to be confused by the information on the computer screen.

"Did you find out? Am I a fugitive?" Boss Qian pulled out a cigarette, full of anticipation.

"Boss Qian, hang on, it seems like the computer’s malfunctioned."

Wang Xiaosheng recovered, patted Xiao Zhang’s arm, and then ran up to the second floor in one go.

Boss Qian and Aunt Ding didn’t wait long before Han Yu, Xu Haoran, Zhao Hongxing, Liu Guixiang, Xiao Yu, and Ma Jintao came down.

"Secretary Han, you’re here too." Boss Qian quickly extinguished his cigarette and greeted the highest leader in the camp.

Han Yu couldn’t believe what Wang Xiaosheng had just told him, so he smiled and nodded before walking behind Xiao Zhang.

It was surprising to see that Boss Qian was indeed a fugitive, just as Wang Xiaoshan had said!

"Secretary Han, Xiao Zhang said the computer is broken. Can you check whether it’s really broken and see if I’m actually a fugitive?" Boss Qian had been delivering vegetables to the camp since last year and was quite familiar with Han Yu.

Han Yu regained his composure and asked him, "Old Qian, have you ever driven for someone in East Sea?"

"Yes, I drove for a boss in East Sea for three years. Computers are so powerful, they can even find that out!"

"What about the car you used to drive for him?"

"I drove it back. It kept breaking down, so I sold it."

"That was someone else’s car. How could you bring it back and even sell it!"

"He owed me a year’s wages and kept stalling. Of course, I had to bring his car back."

"He reported you for stealing a vehicle, and now you’re a fugitive wanted by the East Sea Police Department."

Boss Qian couldn’t believe it was true and, after a moment’s pause, urgently said, "When he owed me my wages, he always avoided me when I went to find him, and never answered my calls. When I took the car back, he reported me and falsely accused me of theft. How could he do that? Does the East Sea Police Department believe him? Are they unreasonable?"
