Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1228 - 80: Xiao Yu’s Discovery!

The Bailong Port was bustling for a few days during the Spring Festival travel season, but after it ended, the port became quite deserted again.

There used to be very few young people seen, and now there are barely any people seen on the roads.

Xiao Yu, however, really enjoyed this peaceful life. Every morning, he would handle the handover with the Bai Shen Police Team and after escorting the passengers, he would either join Zhu Baogen in maintaining Little 001, or go with Xiao Chen to the Bailong Port lock to check the passing small cargo ships.

If there's nothing particularly important, he could clock out on time at 5 PM.

After work, he would either ride his motorcycle to the city to pick up Yu Zhen or take Little Crocodile out to play.

As for the station, there's not much to worry about.

Old Zhu, considering Chen Zikun, Zhang Ping, and Chen Youren had all gone to Sanhe, realized that the passenger terminal couldn't be left unattended, and the dock's residential area had plenty of dormitories. So, he simply brought his wife over. The couple made Bailong Port their home and planted lots of fruits and vegetables in the vacant land near the dock.

Old Qian had nothing to do all day, and every day he wore his old military uniform to sit in the passenger terminal's police room.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Old Qian came over again, holding his big teacup.

After Zhu Baogen finished inspecting Little 001's main engine, he walked into the police room, turned on the tap, and while washing his hands, curiously asked, "Old Qian, where's Little Crocodile?"

"He went to the shipping company with his grandparents. Today is Yu Zhen's father's birthday, and they went early in the morning."

"Did Boss Lin come back?"

"He came back the day before yesterday. The person is back, but the ship isn't. The ship is stopped at Yingchuan Port." Old Qian had a habit of reading newspapers, so as he read, he asked with a smile, "Where are Xiao Yu and Xiao Chen?"

"They went to the lock. Salted Fish is cracking down on smuggling, and they went to help Salted Fish gather clues."

"Wasn't there just a crackdown last year?"

"Last year was last year, and this year is this year."

Zhu Baogen dried his hands, sat down, took a sip of tea, and then laughed, "But Salted Fish can't crack down on smuggling for many days. Yesterday afternoon, we helped tow a cargo ship that lost a propeller on the river, and on the way back, we encountered two people illegally fishing for eel fry. The weather is getting warmer, so in a few days, we'll probably have to join forces with the Fishery Administration again."

The battle of eel fishing happens once a year and has been ongoing for over a decade!

Old Qian couldn't help recalling the scene of Xu Sanye leading Salted Fish, Xiao Yu, Xu Mingyuan, and others in cracking down on illegal eel fry fishing back in the day, and couldn't help but ask, "Ming Yuan and Zhang Lan have been in East Guang for almost a month now, right?"

"They should have."

"They've been relocated multiple times, but I didn't expect this time they'd end up so far."

"They both work in Shenzhen, which is a special zone right next to Hong Kong. Xiao Yu said you need a pass to go there."

"Who would go to such a far place for no reason?" Old Qian thought for a moment and asked, "They just bought a house before the New Year, and now they've been relocated to Shenzhen. Isn't the house in the city a waste?"

"They sold it."

"Who did they sell it to, and when?"

People, when they get older, start to care more about these trivial family matters and show less interest in work.

Thinking about it, it's actually quite normal. For retirees, work and career are nothing more than fleeting memories.

Old Zhu opened a drawer, took out a box of Red Plum cigarettes, handed one to Old Qian, and explained with a smile, "Didn't Salted Fish recruit a batch of people from the army, from all over the country? The farthest home is in the Northeast. They're not only coming to Binjiang to work but also to settle down."

Ming Yuan's house was sold to a military transfer official from the Water Anti-Smuggling Department. They sold it for the same price they bought it for from the housing department, so they neither made a profit nor lost money."

Old Qian asked further, "What about the furniture and appliances? Xiao Yu said Ming Yuan and Zhang Lan bought a lot of appliances."

"Furniture was transported to their old home, and they took the appliances with them. They're settling in Shenzhen, so taking them saves them from buying new ones."

Old Zhu smoked a few puffs and laughed, "Zhang Lan just bought a large scooter that can't be taken with them. Even if it could be taken, getting new plates and certificates would be a hassle. Since Xiao Qin's school is far from home, commuting is inconvenient, so Haoran bought their scooter."

"That scooter is the same as Ge Diao's and isn't cheap."

"Yes, Ming Yuan didn't want any money for it and wanted to give it to Haoran. However, Haoran insisted on giving money, and in the end, Ming Yuan only took eight thousand."

"Does that mean Ming Yuan lost money?"

"They're like family; losing one or two thousand doesn't mean much."

"That's true. Here, try one of mine." Old Qian pulled out a cigarette from his pocket.

Zhu Baogen was startled, exclaiming, "Great Zhonghua, a premium cigarette!"

Old Qian chuckled, "Yu Zhen brought it for me. That girl Lin Xiaohui got married. These are her wedding cigarettes."

"President Lin got married, why wasn't there a banquet?"

"She's different from Yu Zhen. She's seen much of the world and finds hosting a banquet troublesome. Besides, her family's situation is quite unique. Her parents are out at sea, and her in-laws are in Zhehai, making it hard for the elders from both sides to gather, so they chose to have a wedding trip instead."

"Where did they travel to?"

"They went far, Yu Zhen said the couple went to Hong Kong. It's called a trip, but it's actually to scout the route; she wants to live in Hong Kong."

"She wants to immigrate! And she wants to go to the United States!" Zhu Baogen looked surprised.

Old Qian has known Lin Xiaohui for a long time, knowing that the girl is very ambitious, and explained with a smile, "The couple worked for Hong Kong-funded enterprises very early on and have many East Sea and Hong Kong friends. Going abroad is quite fashionable in East Sea, so it's normal for her to want to go abroad. Besides, Hong Kong has long been returned, so going there doesn't count as going abroad."

Zhu Baogen asked perplexed, "She has everything she wants now, isn't it good to stay in the country? Why does she want to go to Hong Kong?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"She has her reasons, and Yu Zhen supports her."
