After
the methamphetamine fishing boat and the woman
on board found out the entire methamphetamine manufacturing network from the export koi, we were responsible for pursuing the fishing boat “Wan Yu 2682” that had escaped more than five hours ago, considering that this operation would definitely go to the high seas. So the leader arranged the largest ship in our unit to carry out this task. After finding out the entire methamphetamine manufacturing network
from the export koi, we were responsible for pursuing the fishing boat “Wan Yu 2682” that had escaped more than five hours ago. Considering that this operation would definitely go to the high seas, the leader arranged the largest boat in our unit to carry out this task. The Customs Era Type 906 is the largest anti-smuggling boat (of course, there are now anti-smuggling boats as large as the 054 frigate). Our unit has only one such boat, which I visited during the three-month training. It has a displacement of 300 tons, a maximum speed of 38 knots, a 37 mm machine gun, and two 7.62 mm machine guns. There were also two high-pressure water cannons, which were the most advanced ships in that era. Director
Li now made a simple deployment. We also pulled a small speedboat to the boat, and then issued equipment, helmets, shields, bulletproof vests, and batons. Director Li said to me, “You bring a 97-2.”. I remember you used it in the wheel team before, and your shooting results were quite good.
I said, “No, not with a clip?”? Or blanks? Director
Li said, “Xiao Dong, why are you always not serious when you should be serious? Today the machine guns are all live ammunition.”. You mainly cooperate with Sun Fo in riot control, and you can put down the bullets yourself.
I took the 97-2 shotgun in silence. I hadn’t touched the gun for a long time since Kobayashi’s accident. I pressed five black rubber bullets, followed by five red shotguns. After
taking the equipment, I shook Captain Lu’s hand. We were about the same age and knew each other for a long time. He used to learn the kind of 100,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship. Later, he came to our customs to drive this kind of small ship. Before that, he said that he had planned to go to the Navy, but in those years, the Navy’s ships were smaller and smaller, and there was no room for development. Came to the customs-now talking, in fact, he thought it would be better to go to the navy. After he became the captain, we got together very little, and we didn’t think we could really work together. After
everyone got on the ship, the engine roared and we set off. Director Li asked Captain Pan to explain the situation. Captain Pan looked at the table below and said: “The ship we want to chase set off nearly six hours earlier than us. The positioning data disappeared two hours ago. Before it disappeared, it was located here.” He drew on the chart hanging on the small board, “It’s about 35 nautical miles away from us. Considering the two hours, we definitely haven’t left the Beibu Gulf yet. Let’s follow its route first.”. In addition, Bay Fishing 2682 is a DY864 ocean-going single-deck trawler with a length of 29 meters, a no-load displacement of 230 tons and a full load of 22 people, but only 15 people declared to leave the port. Captain Huang Weixin is our target, and other people who may follow him are also involved in the case. His wife, Deng Xiaoli, cooked on board before. Also confirmed to be on board. Captain Pan is a Marine Corps professional with comprehensive knowledge in all aspects.
I asked, “How can we be sure where the ship is when we get to this place?” Captain
Lu said: “We estimate that it will take one and a half hours to reach this point, and we have not yet left the Beibu Gulf. With this point as the center, according to the design speed of this fishing boat, it is impossible to run more than 40 nautical miles anywhere. Our radar can search 60 nautical miles, and then check the positioning information with the marine surveillance or fishery administration.” Even without the help of the Coast Guard, we can find it.
I think sailing is really an interesting knowledge. Director Li stressed: There should be nearly half a ton of methamphetamine on board now, and the market value is very great. We have only found clues for less than three days now, and the US side has just closed the net, so we can’t grasp a lot of information about the criminals, and we are not clear about the specific situation on the opposite ship. They only know that their bosses are related to some drug trafficking syndicates in the United States, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. Therefore, please be careful and be prepared to exchange fire. It is best to catch them. If there is a situation, they should deal with it immediately and kill them. The platoon leader pays special attention to safety.
We all said “good.” After leaving the wheel team, I once again faced the test of life and death, but this time I was more excited, because our arms and preparations could be completely suppressed, and these people should be captured without a fight. After
explaining everything, I stood on the railing in front of us as our anti-smuggling boat headed for the target. “Are you seasick?” Sun asked me.
I said, “I’m fine. I’m not used to it.”. Sun Fo, we’ve worked on so many cases together, and we haven’t talked much. I heard you were in the Bureau of Investigation before?
Yes, I went to the customs office after I graduated from the customs school. The leader saw that I was young and in good health, so he let me go to the Bureau of Investigation. It was just like you were not an anti-smuggling man, and he let you do so many anti-smuggling cases. At that time, it was not as peaceful as it is now. At the time of the 9898 case and the yuanhua case, the problems faced were much more serious than they are now. At that time, the smugglers were all armed, and there were all kinds of complicated things that are hard to say now, especially the 9898 case, which was so close to us. At that time, it was really thrilling and bloody. Like us, we went out to catch people by boat. It was nothing at all at that time. He said as he smoked a cigarette.
I asked, “I heard that we have something to do here?”
“Yes, I arrested someone and jumped off a building. Both of them jumped off a building. Later, it had a great impact on everyone. But when you look at it later, it was all small things. There were other things, too. There was a gunfight on the road. I can’t imagine it now.”
“Back then there were so many stories.” I say. What’s the use of many
stories? You’ve caught so many poisons, and you have stories. When I was young, I always wanted to have stories. I’m over 40, and I can’t mention them. Now that I think about it, it’s better not to have any stories. As for people, the most important thing is to be happy. It’s good to be ordinary. I hope there won’t be any more fighting and killing.
“Let’s talk about the 9898 case at that time. Anyway, we have nothing to do for the time being.” I looked at section chief Sun and said.
He finished smoking a cigarette and threw it into a pop can on the side. He said, “Let’s not talk about it. A lot of things have passed. Many friends and colleagues have left. It’s good that someone remembers them. You don’t have to talk about it.”. Let’s talk about when you’re looking for a mate.
A lot of people talked to me about this topic. Section Chief Sun told me that he went to the customs. He was too busy and tired. It took him a long time to find a teacher to get married. He didn’t have too many feelings. So he lived all the time. Like all the people at the border, he had no waves and no special feelings. But this is what he called ordinary.
After more than half an hour, Captain Lu called us into the cabin and said, “The ice fishing boat is basically located. Let’s get ready to work.” Captain
Pan said: “There is an unknown ship in our southeast direction, about 25 nautical miles away from us, with a course of about 190 and a speed of 8 or 9 knots. It has been confirmed with the marine surveillance. They have no positioning information of this ship. Vietnamese fishing boats in the Beibu Gulf will not come, and there are no other suspected ships.” It should be the boat we’re looking for. Director
Li arranged the work and said, “We will catch up with them in about an hour. The procedure is to first call out and ask them to stop the ship for inspection. Everyone goes forward to work overtime, and then goes to their ship for inspection. After going up, they first control the people, and then go into the ship to search. After the search is over, they tow the ship back, and they should be able to go back in the evening.”. Captain Pan and Lao Sun took three men on board first to handcuff the men, and then the others got on board. During the search, Xiao Dong took three men to control the men at the bow of the boat. Two men were placed in the high-pressure water cannon, and two men were placed in the machine gun. Captain Lu was in charge of the affairs on the boat, and everyone was under my command. We talked about
some details of what might happen, and we prepared and tested our equipment. We put on our body armor and put on our life jackets. After a while, Captain Lu said to us, “I can see it through the binoculars. This is the ship. Its number is 2682.”
Then, after a while, he shouted, “20 minutes.”. Get ready, everyone!
I have not participated in anti-smuggling operations at sea, but I have been trained to know the essentials of gang jumping and ship control, and I don’t want to be the first person to do anti-riot and personnel control work, so I don’t think there is any problem.
Soon we were close to the fishing boat, and Captain Lu shouted on the loudspeaker, “Bay Fish 2682!”! Notice! I’m from the Chinese Customs. I’m conducting a routine check on you. Please shut down the engine and stop the ship for inspection. After
shouting several times, the ship slowed down, the engine was not too loud, and after a while, we got very close to him and leaned on his starboard side. Captain
Lu shouted again, “All crew members assemble on the forecastle for inspection.”
But even after several times of shouting, there was no movement. Captain Lu shouted again: “Please leave the cabin immediately and assemble on the forward deck, otherwise we will use force!” Only
then did someone come out of the cabin. They walked along the side of the ship to the front deck. After a while, we found 12 people. Through the glass, we saw that there were still three people in the upper cab of the second floor who had not come out. Captain
Lu shouted, “The three men in the bridge will go to the front deck immediately!”
Someone poked his head out and said, “My wife is pregnant. There’s someone in the kitchen to take care of her. Don’t let her out.”. I’m coming out. The man who
spoke was a little fat, wearing a little yellow white T-shirt, and his face looked like the picture we had seen before, but in order to let him off guard, we did not call his name in advance. Captain Lu shouted, “Captain, step forward.” A number of these fat men stood out, and we confirmed without any doubt that this was “Fat Boy” Huang Wei-hsin.
We didn’t know that the captain’s wife was pregnant in advance, so we agreed to his request. Another person in the kitchen was also a woman, so we let them rest in the bridge. Captain Lv asked everyone to squat down with their heads in their hands through the horn, and then Section Chief Sun and Captain Pan jumped onto the boat without help. I carried my shotgun on my back and quickly got on the boat with Jin Hui.
I first looked around at Chief Sun and asked Fat Boy, “What’s on the boat?”
He crouched and said, “We have just set sail to go fishing in the South China Sea, and there is nothing on board yet.” Chief
Sun said, “We have to carry out a routine inspection, and we hope you will cooperate with us.” “All right, all right,” said
the fat boy. Captain
Pan asked, “Who is the engineer?” “It’s me,” said
a young man who looked not very old. Captain
Pan said, “You follow us and check the cab, the engine room, and the cargo hold.”
The young man said, “Yes.”. Chief
Sun said to me, “Xiao Dong, you go down with Captain Pan to have a look. I’ll come with your team to take a good look at the people on the boat.”
We followed Captain Pan to check. There were two women in the cockpit. They looked at us. There was nothing unusual here, except that there was a single bed. Then I went to the engine room, and a huge smell of engine oil and heavy oil made me cough. Finally, we arrived at the warehouse where the fish were loaded. The ship’s warehouse was more than 150 square meters, and there were quite a lot of places to hide. Captain
Pan asked, “Is there anything here?”? Do you have anything like a box?
The young man said, “No, we don’t need boxes to load the goods.” Captain
Pan carefully examined the floor of the freezer. Then he called me over and shone a flashlight on the place where there was a wooden board. He said to me, “This place should be new.” I looked at it, and it was true that the boards on this side were not quite the same color as those around them. I felt that this kind of person who had been on the boat all the time was really awesome.
I asked Jin Hui to take a crowbar and pry open the board. I found some white woven bags inside. I pried open more boards and found more woven bags. They clung to the upper board and the lower insulation layer. I opened the woven bags and found white transparent crystals wrapped in plastic bags. There’s no doubt that this is the meth we’re looking for. At the door of the
refrigerated cabin, we arranged for a man to control the young man and handcuff his hands on his back. Then Captain Pan and I went to the upper deck, and we found Director Li on board. I whispered to Director Li, “The goods have been found, and they are all in the lower freezer.” Captain
Pan said to all those squatting on the ground, “Don’t move. There is something wrong with your boat. We need you all to go to our boat to cooperate with our investigation.”
Someone shouted, “Just check. What are we going to do on your ship?” And another said, “If we do not know who you are, we will not go.” “Squat down and don’t speak!” Cried
Sun. Then he said in the direction of Jin Hui: “Those who are not obedient are all handcuffed!”
Jin Hui went to handcuff the two people who had just shouted, and then together with two colleagues, he prepared to handcuff the others and prepare to escort them to our ship.
Then I noticed the “fat boy” looking into the cab. Before I could turn around, Chief Sun gave me a push and said, “Be careful!” I lost my balance and fell back, hitting my head on a winch with a rope. Almost at the same time of “being careful”, I heard several shots. “Fat Boy” and a man hugged Jin Hui, another colleague fought with them, and another man tried to grab the shield of another of our colleagues. Section Chief
Sun fell down. I lay down on the ground and hid behind the winch. Despite my headache, I quickly grabbed the gun on my back. Director Li emptied the magazine into the cab in an instant. Captain Pan and another colleague flashed to the dead corner of the cab on the first floor and were also on guard. Most of the people on the deck were lying on the ground, which I had never seen before. After loading the gun, I looked at the cab and my mind was blank. Holding an iron ingot on the port side of the boat,
Fat Boy clasped Jin Hui’s neck and shouted, “Don’t move!”! Move and I’ll jump down with him and die together! He was bigger than Jin Hui, and Director Li and another colleague pointed their guns at him. Director
Li gestured to our boat, pointing to the cab, and at the same time changed a magazine, which I knew meant that the weapon on the boat was pointing to the cab. I leaned over and looked at section chief Sun beside me. He had been shot in the thigh and was bleeding. He smiled and waved his hand to me and said, “It’s all right.” Captain Pan also bowed his head and ran over, saying, “Hold it first and go to the boat to stop the bleeding.” “Don’t do anything stupid any more,”
Li shouted at the “fat boy.” “Let our people go!”
“Fat Boy” said as he moved along the side of the boat toward the bridge, “Damn it, you all know that I will die when I go back. If you don’t let us go, we will die together!” Director
Li said, “If you cooperate with us in our work, we will repay you when we go back. You will not die. If you do these things now, think about your family!”
“Fat boy” said: “Think about a fart, all put down the gun, you all get off the boat now, or I will kill him and throw him down!”
I didn’t know what he was going to do. Then Director Li motioned to everyone on board to put down their guns and said, “You let the people in the bridge come out, and we’ll go down.”. You let this man go, and I’ll be your hostage. I will follow you wherever you go.
“Fat Boy” laughed and said, “You think I’m stupid! Get down, all of you! He looked at the cab, and I looked at the cab, and there was no movement in the cab. Director
Li put his gun in the holster and said, “OK, let’s all go down. We’ll carry the wounded down first.”
“Pangge” waved his hand, and two colleagues from under the bridge came over and carried section chief Sun to our boat, leaving a pool of bright red blood on the ground. “
Fat Brother” said, “You all go down, too.” Captain Pan and I looked at Director Li, and Director Li nodded to us. Another colleague under the
cab also backed away. The colleague who had just controlled another person in the fight also released the crew member. The colleague got up and he was still lying on the ground. When I got up from the ground, I found that “Fat Boy” was preparing to open the door of the first floor of the cab and push Jin Hui in. He and Jin Hui were both facing me sideways. Jin Hui was in the position of the front door.
Taking advantage of the moment when I picked up the gun from the ground, I grabbed the gun with both hands and fired five shots at their place five meters away. Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and smoke, both men were knocked down by the door. The iron ingot fell to the ground and made a loud noise. Director Li and Captain Pan rushed up quickly, but the “fat boy” had not yet got up. Two guns were already pointed at him, and this time he didn’t resist. As
I ran under the bridge, I pointed my gun at the men on the front deck, and I thought to myself that if they made any movement, I would shoot them directly, because the five bullets in the back were all shotguns, and none of them resisted as before, and they were still on the floor. All the people who
had just returned to the ship came back and guarded the bridge, which was what I was most worried about just now, but I believed in the machine guns of my comrades. Jin Hui was shot twice, one in the trunk and one in the arm, and he was able to walk out, although it looked like he was in a lot of pain. After controlling the “fat boy,” Director Li led people upstairs and then escorted a woman down. I asked him, “Where is the other person?”
He said, “He is dead.”
We quickly handcuffed everyone to their left and right hands, then blindfolded them and took them to our boat. This time they didn’t resist. Chubby and the girl were handcuffed separately, hooded, and taken to our cabin and handcuffed to the pipe. Captain
Lu said to Director Li, “Tie up this boat. We have to go back right away. Sun Fo’s situation is not particularly good.” Section
Chief Sun was lying on a table. His face was pale. There was already some blood under the table. We saw that they had done first aid treatment. The wound was covered with gauze, and the right leg was tied with a tourniquet near the heart. Captain Lu said to us, “The artery is injured. We only have first-aid equipment here. Now let’s set out and hurry back, but the fastest time is more than two hours.” Director
Li said, “You can contact the marine surveillance, the fishery administration, the marine police, and the navy. Send a helicopter!” Captain
Lu said: “We have contacted them. We are coordinating the airspace to make preparations. It will take more than hour to send a plane here, and it is estimated that it will take dozens of minutes to send it back. We have no place to stop the helicopter here.”. But I’ve already contacted the Marine Surveillance, and the Navy will definitely not be able to get in touch with them. They’re coordinating, and we’ll go back first. At that time, even the navy did not have too many warships capable of carrying helicopters, not to mention our law enforcement departments-of course, now, the South China Sea has a standing rescue brigade. Director
Li also reported our situation to his superiors through the boat’s equipment. We dragged the methamphetamine fishing boat back at the highest speed. A colleague nearby went to talk to Section Chief Sun to prevent him from falling asleep. Section Chief Sun still smiled at me and said, “Little Dong, it’s better to be ordinary.”
Jin Hui is also in this cabin, and I see that his arm has been splinted. When I got out of the cabin, I saw Director Li standing by the railing and asked him, “Director Li, what’s going on in the cab?” There were
two women, and their wives never held a gun. One of them held a gun, and the one who held the gun was killed at the very beginning. It’s my arrangement. I didn’t think about the woman’s problem clearly. I didn’t think it was a woman who fired the gun. He sighed and went on to say, “But you are also very decisive in dealing with it. It’s not that you are in trouble later.”
I said, “There are rubber bullets in front of me. Jin Hui is wearing a bulletproof vest. I don’t think it’s a big problem to hit him.”. It will be even more difficult for them to control our people. “You are right,”
he said.
I said, “I’ll go back and check on those two bastards.”
“Okay, take it easy. I’ll come with you.” Director Li said to me.
Entering the rear cabin where Fat Boy was being held, Director Li asked, “The woman who shot at us is also surnamed Huang, isn’t she?”? “What’s the relationship
with you?” “Fat Boy” did not speak, but his wife Deng Xiaoli said, “It’s her sister.”
I asked, “Where did you get the gun?”
His wife said, “Someone came to our ship on the sea before. It was given at that time.”
The “fat boy” looked at his wife ferociously, laughed, and said, “You’re right here. There are so many drug couriers outside. Why don’t you care?”? I never sell drugs to the Chinese. I’m making a contribution to the country! When I heard
this, I kicked him. Director Li immediately pulled me and said, “Bring Deng Xiaoli to the front.”
We dragged her to the first floor of the front cabin. Director Li asked her, “Do you know what happened today?”
She lowered her head and said, “I know, but I don’t know to kill.”. Many of his family members do this. I didn’t know until I got married. I also knew that he had a gun, but I never knew that his family really dared to use it.
I said, “Why not report it?”
She said, How can I report it? Everybody does it.
I don’t know how to continue to ask, I can only say that the situation of methamphetamine at that time was much more serious than I imagined. Director
Li said, “It is good that you are willing to cooperate with our work. When you go back, you can tell us everything you know, and we will certainly guarantee your safety.”
“My family’s conditions were not good either. They had a boat, and the conditions were quite good, so I got married. They even helped me get a crew card and let me cook on the boat, but his family didn’t think much of me.” She’s a little weepy.
I still don’t believe a word in my heart. If I didn’t have a lot of money, who would like to live such a hard life. Just as Director
Li was about to speak, Captain Pan came over and said, “Go to the second floor.”
We went to the cabin on the second floor where section chief Sun was lying. Section chief Sun’s face was even worse. He leaned on a colleague and gasped for breath and said to Director Li, “Give me..” Wife. By the way, she.. People are still very good. I didn’t.. I told her. Director
Li clasped his hand and said, “Old Sun, what are you talking about?”? We’ll be there soon. Go home and say it yourself! Section Chief
Sun went on to say, “I..” It is estimated that back.. Not going.. My child goes to school.. Help arrange.. The education here is too bad. Director
Li nodded and said, “All right!”! Go to the best school in the province! Take it with you! He looked at Captain Pan’s watch. Captain
Pan quietly gave him a forty, estimated forty minutes. “We’ll be there soon,” said Director
Li, continuing with my hand as Chief Sun. “We’ve arranged to get on the train at the dock. We’ll be there soon. Old Sun, hold on. The family is still waiting to go back.” Section
Chief Sun asked, Yes.. Is there a signal? Director
Lee shook his head and said, “To whom?”? Let’s turn over the walkie-talkie. Section Chief
Sun said with difficulty, “Forget it..” Not enough to be ashamed of..
Then he closed his eyes, and Director Li quickly patted him and said, “Don’t sleep, we’re almost there!” Section Chief
Sun opened his eyes again, smiled, and said, “It’s a little cold..” Just get some sleep..
I felt my nose was already sore, so I wiped my eyes with my hands and prepared to go out of the cabin. Director Li stopped me behind my back and said, “Xiao Dong, wait a minute.”
I turned around and looked over. Section Chief Sun gave me a laborious nod and said softly, “Ping Ping..” Light. Just fine. Holding back my tears,
I clenched my fist at him and said, “Yes, leader!” He closed his eyes again, and they shook him again.
I ran to the cockpit and asked Captain Lu, “No helicopter?!”
He said, “After more than hour of coordination, it was too late to send it out, and they said it was night, and we didn’t have navigation equipment here.”
I pushed open the cabin door and stood on the edge of the railing. Tears welled up uncontrollably. I saw the fishing boats behind me swaying slowly and leisurely. The sky was already dark. Blood-red clouds were floating on the western sea. The sunset had already fallen. The stars in the sky had already appeared, and the light of the distant coast had already appeared.
For many people, another dull day has passed. Many people have prepared dinner with their families, booked movie tickets with their loved ones for the evening, or opened variety shows and online dramas by themselves. I sobbed as I wiped my tears. I thought of Guo Xiaoyi, Lin Shuqi, Cheng Bin, Uncle Mo, Huang Peng, my former friends, those who had lived and worked together. Even though the world made my heart colder and colder, I still let go and cried. When can we have a dull life, when can we have our own real home?
After a long half hour, our boat finally docked. Section Chief Sun was quickly picked up by an ambulance. I asked Director Li, “How is it going?” Jin Hui was also picked up by an ambulance, but there was nothing wrong
with him. “It’s all right,” he said. But I saw that his eyes were red, too. When
I got to the fishing boat, the funeral home came to carry away the woman we shot. She was wearing a red T-shirt and was shot in the face. The forensic doctor would examine her later.
Packing up my equipment, I ended another day in my life, and I didn’t want to think or care about a lot of things.
Later, we continued to investigate gun-related crimes and organized methamphetamine manufacturing, but it was not something our small unit did. Later, all the villages involved in organized methamphetamine manufacturing were destroyed by the joint action of the Ministry and the armed police, including the village that besieged us. They named the action “Ice Breaking Action”.
Later, we did a lot of deduction about this day and analyzed the mistakes in our work. Later, some friends from the mainland or those who learned about it on the Internet asked: You don’t have a gun license for this type of gun. Don’t you violate the law of beating people with a gun? I have nothing to say. After all, a lot of people defend this country with their keyboards.
Later, on one occasion, I went to help others repair computers and install things, which is very common in the compound of a unit, to the third floor of the dormitory building we managed, which is an apartment building as old as our Guanli Jianguan. I didn’t want to go, but after all, I was young. There was only a middle-aged woman and a child at home. The child was about five or six years old. I helped them reinstall the system.
The middle-aged woman said to me, “Xiao Dong, I heard that your English is very good. Do you have time to speak English with our children?”
I usually refuse this kind of thing, saying that I am busy.
The child said to me, “Uncle Dong Yun?”? My father said before that you study well.
I patted him and said, “No, who is your father?”? Where is it? Why aren’t you with me?
The child said, “My father’s name is Sun Jianhao. He is a customs policeman. My mother and brother said that he had gone abroad and would not come back for many years.”. I can only play by myself.
I looked at the middle-aged woman and she wiped away her tears. I said to the child, “OK, I’ll play with you later. I can play games.”
