After pondering for a while, Liu Qingyu directly called Zhou Shangwu, who was in charge of the director's hotline: "Shangwu, did you transfer the call to report the smuggling of luxury cars just now?"

Zhou Shangwu nodded: "Yes, Director Liu." ”

"When he reported it, apart from saying that someone had an accident mixing a car in a wheat container tomorrow, did he mention any other information?" asked Liu Qingyu.

Zhou Shangwu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, this whistleblower only mentioned such information. Speaking of this, Zhou Shangwu suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said: "Oh, by the way, this person also said that this is not the first time that the other party has smuggled a car in, and it is not the first time he has reported it, if we don't care about it this time, he won't report it in the future." This person seems to have lost confidence in our public security and customs anti-smuggling department, and this may be the last time they report it. However, we are not sure whether the information he reported is true or false. ”

Liu Qingyu nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, the more this is the case, the more cautious we have to be, so let's go with me tomorrow to the Lanshan City Customs Customs Clearance Yard, and we will go to see it on the spot." ”

Zhou Shangwu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Director Liu, I don't think it makes much sense for you to go or not. ”

Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Shangwu said with a wry smile: "Director Liu, here's the thing, because the customs is a special department, in terms of administrative relations, although our Lanshan City Customs is in our Lanshan City, but it belongs to the vertical leadership of the General Administration of Customs, it is difficult for our local government to directly manage Lanshan Customs, and Lanshan Customs basically does not buy much of our Lanshan City." In particular, Li Qinghe, the director of the Lanshan City Customs, was directly dispatched from the provincial customs, and he has always been above the top, and he does not buy much of it from our local authorities. ”

Liu Qingyu's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, and then asked: "What about the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the Customs? Doesn't this unit belong to the department under the joint leadership of the local government and the customs? They should always accept our management, right?"

Zhou Shangwu still shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Director Liu, what you said is in principle, but in fact, when it comes to really doing things, because the number one leader of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau is often the first deputy director of the customs, whether the Anti-Smuggling Bureau is willing to cooperate with our local investigation and punishment of smuggling often depends on the attitude of the customs. And Zhou Zhihua, director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of our Lanshan City Anti-Smuggling Bureau, and Li Qinghe, the director of the Commission, have a very close relationship, so Zhou Zhihua basically doesn't buy much of our Lanshan City Public Security Bureau. They tend to do their job of investigating and dealing with smuggling, and they basically ignore some of the information we give them back.

This is probably the reason why the organizer is skeptical about whether we can really handle the information he reported. And I can tell from his words that he has been beaten and retaliated against by some people for reporting. In other words, when he reported to the relevant departments in the past, the relevant departments did not keep it confidential for him, and even told the reported person about the informant. ”

When Liu Qingyu heard this, his face became even more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, what a Lanshan City Anti-Smuggling Bureau! Since they don't cooperate much with the work of our Lanshan City Public Security Bureau, then we can act on our own, anyway, our Lanshan City Police Department also has the authority to investigate and deal with smuggling crimes according to law, and under the condition that their relevant leaders have not changed their concepts, our Lanshan City Police Department will resolutely act according to the law and engage in our legitimate law enforcement behavior in accordance with the authority granted to us by law." ”

Zhou Shangwu still said with some concerns: "Director Liu, what you said is right, but I am worried that in this case, I am afraid that the Municipal Anti-Smuggling Branch and the Municipal Customs will complain to the superiors." ”

Liu Qingyu smiled disdainfully: "Complaint? We enforce the law normally, what are we afraid of!"

After speaking, Liu Qingyu instructed Zhou Shangwu some more things before hanging up the phone.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu had already come to the gate of the city bureau compound to gather, and then the two took a car directly to the Lanshan City Customs Customs Clearance Yard.

When Liu Qingyu and the others arrived at the customs clearance yard, they had already formed a long queue of transport vehicles waiting to pass through the loading and unloading of goods outside the freight yard. In the freight yard, containers of goods are piled up next to each other, like a hill, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

When Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu came to the gate of the customs clearance yard, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning. Lanshan City Customs has begun to have cars entering the freight yard one after another, ready to load and unload goods.

Seeing this situation, Liu Qingyu didn't say a word, took Zhou Shangwu to the station of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the Customs, walked directly into the office of Zhou Zhihua, deputy director of the Customs and director of the Anti-Smuggling Branch, and knocked on the door directly.

A voice full of majesty came from inside the room: "Come in." ”

Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu pushed the door in.

Zhou Zhihua is a man in his fifties, bald, without a hat, triangular eyes, big bags under the eyes, and a very bulging belly, at this moment, opposite Zhou Zhihua, there is a middle-aged man in his 40s, this person has a Chinese face, and a very large black handbag is placed at his feet, the handbag is bulging, and it looks very full. Seeing Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu walking in, this person kicked the handbag under Zhou Zhihua's table vigorously, as if he wanted to hide something.

Zhou Zhihua frowned and looked at Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to me?"

Zhou Zhihua was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu, because according to the commuting time of Lanshan Customs, this side usually goes to work at about half past 8 o'clock, and it is not yet eight o'clock, but these two people went directly to their office to find themselves, did they know that they would come over early today? But after thinking about it again, these two people don't know each other, and the other party shouldn't be looking for him, he should be looking for the wrong person. That's why I asked.

Liu Qingyu glanced at Zhou Zhihua a few times before he said slowly: "Are you Comrade Zhou Zhihua?"

Hearing the word comrade, Zhou Zhihua's face wrinkled even tighter, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right, I'm Zhou Zhihua, are you?"

Liu Qingyu didn't say much, he directly took out his work card and handed it to Zhou Zhihua and said: "Hello Comrade Zhou Zhihua, I am Liu Qingyu, Secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Legal Committee and Director of the Lanshan City Public Security Bureau. ”

Zhou Zhihua took Liu Qingyu's work card and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the work card back to Liu Qingyu, and reluctantly squeezed out a little smile on his originally somewhat indifferent face: "Secretary Liu, I don't know why you are interested in coming to our small place, what a rare guest!

Although he said it with a smile, it was obvious that Zhou Zhihua's face did not have any welcome on his face.

Liu Qingyu didn't care, and said straight to the point: "Director Zhou, I came here today because we received a specific report that there are a large number of smuggled goods in the goods to be cleared today, so I want to come over and cooperate with your Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau to find out this batch of goods, seize them, and contribute to recovering our country's tariff losses." ”

After hearing what Liu Qingyu said, the face of the man sitting opposite Zhou Zhihua changed color in an instant, although he quickly returned to normal, he was still sensitively noticed by Liu Qingyu, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart. Then his eyes stared at Zhou Zhihua tightly, wanting to hear how he answered.

After Zhou Zhihua heard Liu Qingyu's words, his face was gloomy, and his tone was not as gentle as before: "Comrade Liu Qingyu, thank you very much for the information provided by the police, to be honest, for such a report information, our Anti-Smuggling Bureau can receive dozens or even hundreds of pieces of information every day, if we have to carefully verify each information, I am afraid that our Anti-Smuggling Bureau will be tired to death with such a little manpower." ”

Liu Qingyu showed a look of displeasure on his face: "It's okay, if your Anti-Smuggling Bureau is afraid of being tired, our Lanshan City Public Security Bureau can cooperate with you to do things, so that you don't have to be so tired, and we can also complete our duties." ”

Zhou Zhihua waved his hand vigorously and said: "There is no need for that, how do we do things in the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, we have our own set of processes, as long as we follow this process, there will definitely be no mistakes, and our customs has a strict review and clearance process, even if the smuggled goods are really found, they will not be able to pass our review and pass the process, and we will seize the goods in the process." So, Comrade Liu Qingyu, there is no need to trouble the comrades of your local public security bureau on the customs side. I still have some distinguished guests to receive here, so I won't keep you. ”

While speaking, Zhou Zhihua picked up the teacup in his hand, opened the lid, and gently tasted the tea inside, and the meaning of serving tea to guests was already very obvious.

Liu Qingyu smiled at Zhou Zhihua when he heard this: "Okay, then Director Zhou, you are busy, we won't bother you." ”

Soon after Liu Qingyu and Zhou Shangwu walked out of the gate of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, Zhou Shangwu immediately said with a little dissatisfaction on his face: "Director Liu, this Zhou Zhihua is really too arrogant, he didn't listen to us at all, he directly intercepted your words, and clearly pointed out that we would not be allowed to meddle in their customs affairs." This is also too overbearing. ”

Liu Qingyu frowned and said, "Shangwu, did you notice the person sitting in Zhou Zhihua's office?"

Zhou Shangwu said: "I noticed that the handbag under his feet is very heavy, and I estimate that it is very likely to be full of cash." ”

Liu Qingyu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zhou Shangwu said: "I have heard for a long time that the Lanshan City Customs is popular in cash transactions, and the bosses of general smuggled goods want to smoothly take away the smuggled goods from the customs clearance yard, and generally take the form of cash transactions to bring money directly to the office of the responsible leader, and leave cash after the customs clearance code conversation." ”
