Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1221 - 75: Rivals! (Part 2)

"No."

"That's good. By the way, where is your unit stationed?"

"In Beihai Province, pretty far from Binjiang. We took a train for a whole day and night."

Chatting as they walked, laughing and joking, they soon reached the camp.

Today, Xiao Gong was on duty at the camp. Han Yu first went to the dormitory to take a shower and change his clothes, and asked Xiao Gong to show them the dormitory and other living facilities.

Zhang Xiaojun didn't expect the camp to not only have beautiful scenery but also be fully equipped. He was thinking of moving his luggage from the hotel early when Han Yu walked over in clean work clothes.

"How do you guys feel?"

"It's great, so much better than we imagined."

"Xiao Gong, have you taken Squad Leader Zhang to see the arsenal?"

When there's assistance from the Armed Police on the Jiang or the sea for anti-smuggling, Xiao Gong was overjoyed, grinning: "I have."

Han Yu nodded in satisfaction and turned to smile: "Squad Leader Zhang, once the main force arrives, the arsenal will be entrusted to your team."

"Director Han, we're here to assist you in anti-smuggling!"

"I know. I'm referring to regular times when there's no anti-smuggling mission. If there's any operation, weapons and ammunition will definitely be loaded onto the anti-smuggling boat."

"We'll ensure the completion of the task, and if any weapons or ammunition are lost, we're responsible!"

"Are you guys waiting for the main force to arrive before moving, or are you moving now?"

"We'll move now, no need to wait for the main force. Plus, we're here early for learning."

These young fellows have great enthusiasm for work.

But to be honest, being on duty at the Customs is like a business trip, which is much more interesting than training at the base.

Han Yu couldn't help but think of the bunch of young guys in the 404 Regiment of the 132nd Brigade who were all eager to go on assignments, and asked with a smile: "Where's your luggage?"

"Luggage is at the hotel."

"Xiao Gong, drive Squad Leader Zhang to get the luggage later."

"Yes!"

Director Li asked with a smile: "So, there's nothing for me to do, shall I go back first?"

Han Yu laughed: "Have a seat, you rarely come by, have dinner with us tonight, we're having a special meal this evening."

"No, I have business back at the office and need to head back early."

"Alright, I'll see you off."

...

With assistance from the Armed Police, the water anti-smuggling department's power is even stronger.

Han Yu just saw off Director Li and the two Armed Police officers heading back to Binjiang to pick up their luggage when Guo Weitao and the others finished their class and crowded into the office to ask about the Armed Police.

"Are they part of the Internal Guard?"

"The Internal Guard has the largest number and scale, and is the backbone of the Armed Police Force, while the Mobile Regiment is a type of Internal Guard Armed Police."

"Secretary Han, are they really only staying here for a year?"

"Just one year, then they'll rotate out," Han Yu thought for a moment and laughed: "Their supervisors need to consider team management, if they stay too long, they may become restless, how would they manage when back?"

Jiang Shengqi also had experience leading soldiers, knowing it's not easy, and couldn't help but laugh: "That's true."

Guo Weitao suddenly remembered something and raised his head: "Secretary Han, yesterday afternoon we met Zhang Baoqing from the Investigation Department at the Sixth Pier. He was busy developing informants to collect smuggling leads."

"Does this have anything to do with us?"

"It does. He said Director Wang is not satisfied with their work, stating that the two major cases they previously investigated were seized by us, claiming that it's a huge joke that their investigators were outperformed by our crew. The new official is setting us up as competitors, wanting to achieve something to show us."

"Setting us up as competitors, is this a joke!"

"Really, if you don't believe it, call Zhang Baoqing."

Zhang Baoqing was originally a criminal police officer from the Port District Bureau and was Captain Wei's former subordinate.

Criminal Investigation is very important, it can be said to be the backbone for combating various illegal crimes, but it's difficult for criminal police to get promoted.

Captain Wei didn't want to see his old subordinate delayed in getting promoted, so he used the opportunity of establishing the Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch to recommend Zhang Baoqing to Zhou Huixin through Han Yu. It turns out Zhang Baoqing was indeed very capable and did an impressive job in the past half year's anti-smuggling operations.

After Xu Mingyuan was transferred, Zhou Huixin let Zhang Baoqing help train Xu Haoran, essentially becoming his mentor.

Han Yu didn't want to probe whether the brother department really sees the water anti-smuggling department as competition, but this made Han Yu realize that as anti-smuggling police, training alone isn't enough; practical experience is the best training.

Thinking about this, Han Yu pondered: "Since they see us as competitors, we shouldn't disappoint them."

Guo Weitao was waiting for this statement and chuckled: "Secretary Han, give us the orders, we'll do whatever you say!"

Han Yu glanced up at him and promptly picked up the phone on the desk, quickly dialing the number for the Water Police Station.

After about ten seconds, the call connected.

"I'm Wang Wenhong from the Water Police Station, may I ask who's calling?"

"Director Wang, it's Han Yu here. Are you busy? Is it convenient to talk?"

"Convenient, go ahead, what's up?"

"The Water Firefighting Association hasn't had a meeting in a long time, Director Wang, should we inform the heads of the member units and arrange a time for a meeting?"

"Sure, which day are you available?"

"I'm available every day."

"Let's arrange it for the day after tomorrow afternoon, at your place, how about that?"

"Great, thanks for your support, Director Wang." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"This is my responsibility, I'll have the office send out notices right away."

Han Yu put down the phone and looked up with a smile: "Wei Tao, you might need to make a trip back to Sanhe. Linghai Maritime Bureau and the Water Police Third Team have contacts for captains and shipowners frequently navigating the East Sea. Go back and ask Director Li and Ma Jintao for assistance, ask them to help mobilize the public for us."

Collecting smuggling clues, what good does it do to go to the pier to develop informants?

In terms of mobilizing the public, how can the newcomer Wang Changjiang compare to the "Binjiang Water Army Commander!"

Guo Weitao became more and more excited thinking about it, grinning: "No problem, I'll go soon."

Jiang Shengqi had long experienced how powerful his superior's connections were in Binjiang, and couldn't help but remind: "Secretary Han, I think we shouldn't just focus on the Jiang, we should also consider the sea, I believe Dongqi should also be mobilized."

"Makes sense, I'll get in touch with friends at the East Sea District Fishery Bureau and Dongqi Agricultural Bureau Fishery Administration Team."

Han Yu smiled, then changed the subject: "Casting a wide net is simple, but we need to prepare accordingly on our side, it's best to form a team, so that once relevant leads are available, we can immediately verify them."

"A lead means we can make an arrest!"

"Case handling is not as simple as you think. If leads aren't analyzed and you just rush in to make an arrest, what if it's a mistake? What if we alert them and end up picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons? Some leads need surveillance, and even cultivation, only when the timing is right can we close the net."

"Secretary Han, we don't understand, we'll follow your lead."

"If you want to make a name for yourselves, you must listen to me." Han Yu paused, smiling faintly: "Actually, I don't fully understand either, but we can collaborate with those who do, or even hire a few retired veterans to guide us."

Guo Weitao curiously asked: "Secretary Han, who do you plan to invite?"

Han Yu weighed his options and listed them out: "Director Jiang from the former Binjiang Port Police Station's Criminal Investigation Department, Instructor Li from the former Linghai Police Station, former Instructor Jia Yongqiang from the Water Police Fourth Team, and former Big Commander Wu Minde from Dongqi Police Bureau's Criminal Police Unit. They all have rich case handling experience, and they're all retired."

All seasoned veterans!

Guo Weitao was thrilled and couldn't help but laugh and ask: "Secretary Han, do you think they will come to guide us?"

"There's just a vacant villa on the mountain, I'll invite them for a retreat, they'll definitely be willing."

"True, our environment here is so wonderful, and the air is so fresh, a short stay is beneficial to the old veterans' health!"
