Chapter 1246

Tianjin Port.

Jiang Yuan took Mu Zhiyang and others, strolling around the port. In front were various tall gantry cranes, or giant port equipment whose names he couldn't call out.

Wan Quan accompanied him and actively introduced: "The throughput of Tianjin Port is in the top 10 in the world, with a scale of 500 million tons per year. Last year, the container throughput also exceeded 20 million TEUs. The characteristics of smuggling here are cars, frozen goods, electronic products, and luxury goods. Exports are mainly steel, rare metals, and high-value-added industrial products, which are very characteristic, and the types of goods are very concentrated."

Jiang Yuan didn't understand smuggling cases, just pondered in his heart and said: "With such a large throughput, when a ship comes, it basically can't be searched completely, right?"

"Small ships are easy to check. If large ships are inspected, at most it's checking the crew's own smuggling. Look at the one unloading over there, it should be a 200,000-ton ship, 300 meters long. It unloads iron ore. It can unload about 40,000 tons a day, and 200,000 tons will take 5 days. If it's grain, it unloads slower, 30,000 tons a day. But 30,000 or 40,000 tons, how can it all be checked?" Wan Quan gave an example, which made Jiang Yuan understand.

"So we have to rely on special intelligence, etc., to investigate with a target?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Inspection also has to be done, which belongs to accumulating clues, more to play a deterrent role. But truly solving the case depends on the investigation behind it. Sometimes there are clues, but the on-site inspection can't find evidence. Just like a frozen goods case I handled, the suspect modified the refrigerated container. The first third is normal legal frozen meat, and the last two-thirds are partitioned to hide smuggled beef, and it's not ordinary smuggled beef, it's beef from the epidemic area. We used temperature probes to find it for 24 hours, and the people were exhausted, because you can't detain people's goods indefinitely, especially frozen goods, and the trouble of missing the period is a lot."

Wan Quan talked about the smuggling case itself, and talked endlessly: "Just for the Brazilian imported goods that are more common here, there are those who mix sandalwood into ordinary wood. The wood is all soaked in medicine, and dogs can't smell it. There are also Brazilian soybeans. In his 100,000 tons of genetically modified soybeans, he mixes 20,000 tons of unapproved genetically modified soybeans for you. Those who don't know soybeans can't check it."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help nodding: "So, anti-smuggling bureaus everywhere must have targeted personnel and equipment configuration?"

"That's right. However, the degree of importance of anti-smuggling bureaus everywhere is different. Just like what you see, Tianjin Port is indeed configured with an anti-smuggling bureau, but their 500 million tons of throughput per year, how much energy can be invested in the 929 case, it's hard to say. Just now, asking them to cooperate, it's all very difficult." Wan Quan looked at the back left vigilantly during the process of dropping eye drops.

Over there, the leaders of the Tianjin Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau and the leaders of the Changyang Customs Anti-Smuggling Branch were talking.

"It's good that you can straighten out the relationship between each other." The more places Jiang Yuan went, the more he felt that the situation in the place was complicated. Under normal circumstances, he hoped to outsource this part of the content.

Wan Quan was naturally willing to maintain this mode, and hurriedly said: "No problem. Although our Anti-Smuggling Branch is one level lower than them, this case, we have followed for two years. For two years, it has been the key case of our investigation division. To be honest, they are taking it over now. Without two months, they can't keep up with our progress, let alone synchronized investigation."

"This point is indeed." Jiang Yuan's tone seemed very satisfied, and he looked at the several subordinates Wan Quan brought with a satisfied look.

Although the Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau is also a police establishment, the difficulty of being admitted is much higher than that of local police bureaus, especially county bureaus like Ningtai.

In other words, Wan Quan and a group of police officers from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau started as strong candidates for the essay test. Their usual enthusiasm, learning ability, and academic qualifications are all remarkable, and they are strong enough to compete with strong people like Wang Chuanxing who were admitted to the Criminal Police Detachment of Changyang City Bureau.

Especially the knowledge system they mastered, although it is very different from that of the criminal police, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Shall we go see the container of smuggled cars?" Wan Quan proposed again.

"Let's go." Jiang Yuan turned and followed Wan Quan into the car.

Wan Quan made a gesture to the back, and his subordinates understood, drove away one after another, leaving only a Ford 150 without keys.

The people from the Tianjin Port Anti-Smuggling Bureau were slow to realize, and couldn't even see the tail of the car, before they realized that the other party had likely dumped them.

When the people from the Tianjin Port Anti-Smuggling Bureau saw Jiang Yuan again, it was already dinner time.

"What we prepared today is small hot pot, seafood hot pot." The one who came forward to entertain from the Tianjin Port Anti-Smuggling Bureau was Hang Haichuan, the section chief of the investigation division, who was one level higher than the Changyang Customs Anti-Smuggling Branch, and brought 4 people in one breath.

Hang Haichuan arranged for Jiang Yuan to sit next to him, pulled him, and introduced the small hot pot: "Everyone has a pot, just shabu various seafood and meat. Many people talk about our Tianjin, saying pancakes and fried dough sticks. In fact, Tianjin's seafood is excellent, especially the small seafood in the near sea, which is not very valuable, but particularly fresh."

Jiang Yuan obediently put some shellfish and small squid into the pot, looked at the small hot pot boiling, and was stunned for a while.

"What's wrong, did you think of something?" Wan Quan didn't touch the hot pot at all, just looked at Jiang Yuan slightly excited. According to the rhythm of film and television dramas, the famous detective should have gained something at this time.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, sighed, and said: "I was thinking..."

"You say..."

Jiang Yuan pointed to the pot and said: "Would it be more appropriate to put meat first and then boil seafood? Beef has a bit more fat..."

"You are talking about this!" Wan Quan couldn't catch his breath, almost fell into the pot.

"Otherwise?" Jiang Yuan asked Wan Quan back.

"Of course it is... I mean, I think you might have thought of how to solve the case." Wan Quan whispered.

"Solving the case is not urgent." Jiang Yuan looked at the boiling hot pot, then looked up at the surprised Wan Quan, smiled, and said: "Even if the identity of the victim is confirmed, it is still far from finding the suspect, and even further from solving the case. It's not that fast."

"I understand, I understand. After all, it's already been two years."

"Step by step, be prepared, and then see what results can be achieved in the next few days." Jiang Yuan's age is more than 10 years younger than Wan Quan, but his experience is more than Wan Quan's.

A simple comparison, like a special case like 929, Wan Quan has been doing it for two years. Although other special cases were running at the same time during this period, the time he was qualified to do special cases was actually just these few years. When Jiang Yuan was so young, he didn't even have the opportunity to enter the special case group.

Wan Quan was affected by Jiang Yuan's emotions, and suddenly felt at ease. His train of thought also followed quickly, saying: "The list of John Does has also been sorted out, but the list of missing persons you want has not been made yet..."

Wan Quan said while looking at Hang Haichuan.

"Oh, it's cooked, it's cooked." Hang Haichuan looked at the mantis shrimp in his pot, quickly fished it out, then put down his chopsticks and said: "Director Jiang, Section Chief Wan, let's speak one by one. The scope of the list of missing persons you want is too large. If you say it is limited to a certain smuggling group, we will find a way to mobilize special intelligence, and it is no problem to make a list of missing persons. But if you say all smuggling groups, it is really too difficult. We can't move all the special intelligence, you say so, right."

Wan Quan couldn't catch the words for a while. To a certain extent, he agreed with Hang Haichuan's words. Special intelligence is also relatively rare. It is okay to use it occasionally for a case, but it is really too wasteful to move all of them to do screening.

Jiang Yuan didn't have similar feelings, but his solutions to problems always started from his own abilities. Seeing that Hang Haichuan had concerns, he didn't pursue it, changed his angle and said: "What if we don't use special intelligence? Do we know much about smuggling groups at present?"

"This... if you want to talk about large smuggling groups, the intelligence division must have mastered it. Specifically to some small smuggling groups, it is really not necessarily. Moreover, smuggling groups will also split and reorganize. It was more obvious when there were ships before. The ship boss took the ship and where it was, it was whose family. It also changed families from time to time. Now, those who smuggle don't necessarily have ships. We can't say that we can master all these fine and fragmented smuggling groups." Hang Haichuan explained the status quo more.

Not getting the dominance of the case, Hang Haichuan's enthusiasm for investment clearly decreased.

Jiang Yuan could only nod. His understanding of smuggling groups was really not much. If Wan Quan didn't object, he could only express approval for what Hang Haichuan said.

At this time, Wang Chuanxing suddenly stood up and whispered: "I'm going to pick someone up."

He walked quickly out of the private room, and a minute later, brought Liu Jinghui in.

"Is your vacation over?" Jiang Yuan saw Liu Jinghui, and his face was full of smiles.

"My wife is tired of me and drove me out." Liu Jinghui's face was also full of smiles, and he turned the topic over: "I heard you are discussing the matter of screening the list?"

Wan Quan was shocked and hurriedly said: "It is screening the list, not investigation, at most it is like a small investigation."

Liu Jinghui laughed: "Doing investigation for the smuggling group, it's quite interesting. Stuck on the number of special intelligence?"

"Division Chief Liu." Hang Haichuan greeted, said the same words, and then said: "Actually, I shouldn't say this. I am engaged in investigation, and special intelligence is managed by the intelligence division. Things are just such things."

"We actually don't need accurate intelligence." Liu Jinghui interrupted Hang Haichuan's words.

Hang Haichuan was stunned: "If it's investigation..."

Liu Jinghui waved his hand, occupied Wang Chuanxing's hot pot seat, changed the hot pot and tableware, casually put some fish and snail meat into the pot, and said: "We are all old police officers. Let's say, inside a smuggling group, killing someone, or someone going missing, what accurate intelligence can there be? How many people can see it? Isn't it all hearsay?"

Hang Haichuan: "If you say so..."

"Legends on the sea, some are outrageous and fake, some are outrageous and true. Relying on hearsay alone is really not enough, but we have two screening measures here. Most importantly, we have the victim's blood in our hands. So, we just need to collect information. Whether it is true or false, we don't need special intelligence to guarantee." Liu Jinghui paused and said: "Even don't need special intelligence."

Wan Quan suddenly realized, and immediately understood that he was circled by Hang Haichuan, and couldn't help but say: "That's right, just the periphery is enough, especially this kind of news about personnel changes, marginal members might be more sensitive."

"This... if it's just an uncertain list, I'll let people collect it now." Hang Haichuan had nothing to shirk.

"Now. Strive to be able to use it tomorrow morning." Liu Jinghui put down his chopsticks, turned to Jiang Yuan and said: "According to the current progress, the Y-chromosome identification report will come out tonight, and the family identification report will be two days later. This is said to be slower. However, with the list of John Does and the hearsay missing list given by Section Chief Hang tomorrow morning, I think we can catch a batch of people to see."

"Catch people directly?" Hang Haichuan couldn't care about Liu Jinghui's arrangement of overstepping his authority, and hurriedly said: "If you catch people indiscriminately, the situation will be chaotic."

"Only when the other party's heart is beating like a deer, do we have a chance, right?" Liu Jinghui was very interested in doing list screening, and ate several pieces of fish in one breath.
