Three o'clock in the morning.

The moon is in the sky.

Maritime demarcation line.

A large piece of silver-white moonlight swayed from mid-air on the vast sea, and as the sea breeze slowly passed, the mirror-like sea surface shook slightly, and the moon shadow also rippled with the broken ripples.

In the dim sea and sky, a huge freighter remained silent without wires, swaying quietly in the adjacent area of the territorial waters.

"Whoa!"

The waves blew by, hitting the sides of the cargo ship, and the noise of the waves was stirred.

On deck.

After You went out of the sea and walked out of the bridge, he walked to Lin Tianchi, who was standing next to the side of the deck ship: "Xiaolin, can you contact your boss again and ask them when they will arrive, we are already close to the junction line here, and we have been out of line for a long time, and we have not reported, we are easy to be discovered." ”

"The appointment time is 3:15, don't worry, wait. Lin Tianchi looked at the time and responded with the satellite phone in his hand.

"Xiaolin, why do I always feel that this matter is not quite right, even if the time agreed between the other party and you has not yet arrived, but fifteen minutes away, the other party should also appear within the range of our naked eye, but if you look at the surroundings, it looks like there is a boat. You Chuhai replied with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a call and ask. After listening to You Zhuhai's words, Lin Tianchi looked at the empty sea area on the other side of the sea line and picked up the satellite phone.

"Bang dang!"

At the same time, the bridge tower on the bridge floor suddenly pushed open the hatch, and then the first mate howled at the top of his voice: "Captain, a boat has appeared on the radar!"

"How far is it?" Lin Tianchi heard this, and also raised his voice and asked rhetorically.

"Thirty-five nautical miles. ”

"Where's the direction?"

"From the direction of the country!"

"Domestic?" Lin Tianchi was stunned when he heard this.

"Tell everyone to gather, fast!" After listening to the first mate's response, You Chuhai immediately began to shout at the top of his voice: "Including the chef and the restaurant waiter, everyone goes to the deck, first mate, turn on the deck searchlight!"

"Understood!" said the first mate on the terrace of the bridge, turned and ran back to the bridge, and a few seconds later, the lights on the deck of the freighter were as bright as day.

"Brush!"

As the light turned on, Lin Tianchi raised his arm and blocked his eyes that were stinged by the light: "Uncle You, what are you going to do?"

"Don't ask, help, hurry up and unload the cargo!" You went to sea as he spoke, and he had already run to the container with a ladder, and soon, other seafarers began to gather here.

"Bang dang!"

After You went out to sea and pulled open the door of the container, he began to drag out a diesel drum from it with the help of other seafarers, and the rest of the people saw this, and began to lay waste tires as a buffer on the lower deck.

"Bang!"

After an iron bucket was kicked over by You Chuhai, it smashed heavily on the tires below, and then two seafarers reached out to stabilize it: "Captain, what's the matter?"

"Throw it into the sea, quickly!" When You went out to sea and shouted, the second iron bucket had already been pushed down again, and the ship below also opened the guardrail on the side of the ship, and was about to push the iron bucket into the sea.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Tianchi saw the movements of the crew, shouted a word, and then looked at You Chuhai above: "Uncle You, what are you going to do!"

"Xiaolin, we are here on the border, ordinary boats will not go this way, do you understand!" You went out to sea to shout, but the movements in his hands did not stop: "Don't make trouble, come up and help!"

"Uncle You, don't panic first, in case this ship is also coming and going, ......"

"Bang dang!"

Before Lin Tianchi could speak, the hatch of the bridge was pushed open again, and the first mate rushed out of the door in a few steps: "Boss, the ship that came over shouted on the radio, it was the border coast guard, they have locked our location, let us call back to verify our identity!"

"Continue to keep the radio silent, you also come down to help, hurry up!" You Chuhai howled again: "Hurry up!"

"Uncle You, let's go now, is it too late?" Lin Tianchi asked loudly.

"It's no fun, we're here on the border, and we have to be arrested if we run abroad, and the coast guard has locked us down, where do you want to run!"

"Goo-dong!"

Lin Tianchi heard that his ship had been targeted by the coast guard, his legs and stomach were weak, and he immediately fell to the ground, before he took this job, he specially checked the relevant laws and regulations, according to the provisions of Article 153 of the Criminal Law, smuggling goods and articles, evading the tax payable more than 500,000 yuan, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and imposed a fine of not less than one time but not more than five times the amount of tax payable for evasion or confiscation of property, and Tianchi's 2,000 tons of diesel, no matter how it is calculated, the tax amount should exceed 500,000 yuan.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin!" The second officer who was helping to pick up the oil drum next to him saw Lin Tianchi sitting on the ground and ran to him in a few steps: "Are you okay?"

Lin Tianchi's ears roared, and he had completely stagnated.

"Captain, something happened to Mr. Lin!" the second mate saw Lin Tianchi's dull eyes and continued to roar.

"Ignore him first!" You Chuhai glanced at Lin Tianchi, and continued to roar loudly: "Except for those who pick up the goods below, everyone comes up to unload the goods, everyone hurry up, throw as much as they can, at most an hour, the coast guard can arrive, hurry up!"

After You went to sea to finish speaking, a group of crew members began to act, and for a while, the muffled sound of diesel barrels smashing on the buffer tires on the ship continued, and the surrounding area was flooded with the sound of heavy objects entering the sea.

......

Forty minutes later.

"Poof!"

When the wheel-captain standing on the deck raised his arm to propel a bucket of diesel fuel into the sea, he felt as if his arms had been filled with lead, and he had completely lost his strength.

After more than 20 people on the ship, a container on the ship has been half empty at this moment, and more than 400 oil drums weighing more than 300 catties have completely disappeared on the sea.

Previously, after Lin Tianchi heard that the coast guard had discovered the location of the freighter, after a short period of distraction, he also began to help together, but manpower is limited after all, and the group worked hard to unload for half a day, and finally only unloaded only half a container of goods.

"Brush!"

At the same time, in the pitch black sea in the distance, the flashing lights of the coast guard ship could already be heard, and because the distance was too far, the light was only the size of a coin.

A group of crew members on the deck stopped their movements when they saw the coast guard ship approaching, and their eyes were dazed.

Lin Tianchi stood on the side of the boat, looked at the light that began to flicker in the darkness, sighed, took out the cigarette case he carried, and pressed the lighter four or five times in a row, but failed to light the cigarette.

"Smack!"

At this time, You Chuhai next to him took out a lighter and handed it over, lighting the cigarette in Lin Tianchi's mouth.

"Uncle You, you say, did I do something wrong today. Lin Tianchi's hair was stuck to his face with sweat, he felt the spiciness, stared at the coast guard ship that was getting closer and closer, and asked You Zhuhai.

"Not only is it wrong, it's outrageously wrong. You Chuhai said bluntly: "When I was loading the goods before, I insisted on calling Mr. Yang, because he was relatively stable, and I believe that he would never do such a risky thing because of short-term interests." ”

"Yes, Dongzi told me not to take this job, but I didn't listen to him, I thought I was able to turn the tide and help the company make up for the lost money. Lin Tianchi smiled bitterly: "If you make a mistake, I'll be broken." ”

"Whew!"

When You Chuhai heard Lin Tianchi's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke softly: "Xiaolin, remember my words, I took this job tonight, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Uncle You, what do you mean?" Lin Tianchi suddenly turned around and asked when he heard this.

"On this boat, I am the captain, even if you carry this matter, I will be implicated, since there are people on the left and right who need to take responsibility, why should everyone go together, I am old, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future. You Chuhai smiled calmly and patted the guardrail on the side of the boat: "In fact, at my age, even when I go to work as a small worker on a fishing boat, others think I'm in the way, but you can trust me, since I started a fishing boat, let me lead the team, and now with this cargo ship, I You went to sea to be the captain, in the past, this is a dream that I didn't dare to think of, but Sanhe Company, let me make my dream come true." ”

"You ......"

"You remember, tonight, you just went to sea to play, this is your first time going to sea, so you don't know anything about the shipping business, only you know the inside story of loading these diesel fuels on the ship today, as long as the confessions of the two of us are consistent, others can't bite you. You Chuhai paused: "I have a request for this crime." ”

"You say. Lin Tianchi responded without hesitation.

"No matter how many years I am sentenced, during my time in prison, you have to pay me according to the captain's salary, and pay my family a monthly salary, even if I die, this money must be paid for a full year. You Chuhai paused and looked at Lin Tianchi: "Before I am tried, I want Yang Dong to personally go to the detention center to meet me and make this guarantee with me." ”

"I promise you!" At this moment, Lin Tianchi was already anxious about the crime, but after hearing You Chuhai's appeal, he quickly regained a high degree of sanity: "Even if the Sanhe company collapses, this money will not be less, even if I sell blood, I will give this money enough." ”

"Good. When You Chuhai heard this, he nodded slightly, and turned his gaze back to the coast guard ship that was rushing here: "Where did you receive this batch of goods?"

"Hongyang Commerce, Xun Xiangjin. ”

"After I am arrested, I will definitely have to explain the source and whereabouts of the goods, and when the time comes, I will bite Xun Xiangjin to death, just say that this job was sent to me, as for how to get through the relationship with Xun Xiangjin, so that he does not bite you, you have to figure it out yourself. ”

"Uncle You, thank you. Lin Tianchi looked at You Chuhai's wrinkled side face and said very seriously.

"I'm old, even if I run a boat, I can't run for a few years, while I am still useful, I can block a disaster for you, and I can still earn a little money for my family, which is good. You went out to sea with the sea breeze, and the vicissitudes of half a life were written in his eyes.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, the white coast guard ship painted with red and blue stripes approached the freighter, and as the searchlight hit the ship, the shouting in the amplifier rang out.
