367. Get on board to collect evidence

"A few of us looked like this, and who knows if we will die below, so we don't plan to do it. ”

Hong Tao said: "At this time, the captain's gang finally showed their faces, and they came out with a gun and threatened us, either go down to fish for something to make money, or immediately kill us and throw us into the sea.

We had no choice but to get into the water.

At first, I wanted to fool around and stay up until I went back and never got on his gondola again, but because I didn't catch anything twice in a row, the captain's dog beat me without saying a word, and said that I couldn't catch anything, so I kept soaking in the sea. ”

"There's no way, the vast sea, we can't run away if we want to, and then there will be an accident again, after a person comes up, he takes off his helmet and his face is covered with blood, the boat boss's gang is beasts, they don't treat us as human beings at all, they deserve to die in the sea!"

Hong Tao gritted his teeth and said, but he didn't know that in his eyes, the so-called sea accident was probably deliberately caused by the ship boss's gang, so that these new crew members would shut up forever.

In this way, no one will ever expose their crimes, and the wealth they have built with their lives will continue.

"We worked on the boat for three days, and on the last night, I slept for a while and came out to make sure they weren't looking, so I slipped into the cockpit and signaled for help. ”

Hong Tao continued: "But I don't know how to do that thing, I haven't sent the message out a few times, and I don't dare to stay in the cockpit for long, and when I was about to sneak back, I was super unlucky and was discovered by the captain."

They beat me up, and then they called me dishonest, and they locked all our newcomers in the crew room, saying that they were not allowed to go out until dawn, and that everything was settled inside. The one surnamed Fan still complained about me, saying that I was involved with them, uncle!"

"And then?"

Then I slept for a while, and in a daze I heard a loud noise, and before I knew what was going on, I felt the ship begin to sink. ”

Hong Tao said with palpitations: "A few of us desperately pried open the door of the crew room, called the captain, but no one responded, and we couldn't find the life jacket, so we had to hurriedly put down the life raft and row in the direction of the shore by feeling."

As a result, the life raft began to leak after floating for more than half an hour, and finally sank.

Several of us were also swept away by the waves, and I was good at water, and I struggled at sea for a long time, and then I was rescued by a passing fishing boat in a daze and sent to the hospital. ”

After listening to Hong Tao finish the whole process of his time at sea, Luo Ying added and asked: "Carefully talk about the appearance and physical signs of the boss of the ship, do you know what their names are?"

"All I know is that the captain seems to be called Roger, and we all call him Captain Luo, he is in his thirties, with long hair tied into a pigtail, and a big beard. ”

Hong Tao said: "As for the other old men, they are about the same age as the captain, the cook is quite fat, and the remaining four, I only know that one is surnamed Wang and the other is surnamed Qiang." ”

"Are you sure that the captain's name is Roger, not Roying, or Brother D. Roger?"

He Nai added a sentence leisurely, and then he was slapped on his head by Luo Ying, at this time, he can still think of One Piece, this slap He Nai is not wronged.

"Speaking from the heart, do you think that your ship sank just because of unlucky accidents at sea?" Xiao Ran said.

Hong Tao shook his head: "I don't know. - In retrospect, I feel that it must have been done by the captain's gang, and the good ship suddenly sank, and there was no life jacket, and the lifeboat was also broken, how could it be such a coincidence?

But I really don't know what happened, we were all locked in the cabin, and when the door was opened, we rushed to escape, and it was impossible to know what was going on. ”

Xiao Ran nodded, and then asked, "Are you allowed to bring personal belongings on board?" Do they have an inspection, or let you hand over your personal belongings?"

"Not really, the sea is vast, there is not even a mobile phone signal, as long as you help them make money, they don't care. Hong Tao said.

Xiao Ran nodded, asked a few more questions, and asked Hong Tao to sign the interrogation record, and then gave a few more instructions, and the group left the hospital and rushed back to Lin'an.

After returning in the afternoon, the investigation team made a report to the Linhai Branch and the Municipal Bureau. Now that the situation is getting more and more serious, it is almost certain that two boats, Dongyu A618 and Dongyu A619, have accidents.

According to what Hong Tao said about recruiting eight new people at a time, then in addition to Hong Tao, the survivor, and the three deceased who have been found, there should be about 12 missing people.

And with the deepening of the investigation, the number of deaths found in the follow-up is likely to continue to increase, and it is initially estimated that the number of victims should be more than ten!

After listening to Xiao Ran's report, the leaders of the city bureau ordered the investigation team to thoroughly investigate the truth of the accident, and if it was really man-made, Roger and his gang would be arrested at all costs!

The reason why a special task force was not set up was that Hong Tao, an eyewitness and survivor, did not personally see the accident caused by the captain and his gang, and second, there was no direct evidence to prove that Roger and his gang were indeed illegally salvaging the sunken ship's cultural relics.

Before mastering the complete chain of evidence, even if Roger and his gang are found, they cannot be touched for the time being, after all, these people are outlaws, and they cannot be convicted only by Hong Tao's vague confession.

After repeated analysis and research by the investigation team, everyone finally unanimously decided to start from three aspects: First, investigate the information of the black boat and find out the information of the people who purchased the Dongyu A618/A619 boat.

The second is that after Roger and his gang caused a shipwreck, there must be another boat as a means of escape.

After they lost two boats, although they still had one ship in charge of escaping, it could not be ruled out that they would continue to buy black ships and continue to engage in illegal profit-making activities.

Therefore, it is also necessary to pay close attention to whether there are any scrapped ships that have been sold recently.

The third is to start from the direction of recruiting crews, according to Hong Tao, Roger and his gang are engaged in profiteering activities, they cannot easily give up this way to make money, and they will definitely continue to recruit crews for illegal salvage in the future.

After determining these three directions of investigation, the investigation team immediately took action, and the coast guard also found several old captains with extensive connections, secretly and nervously searching for information.

In addition, Xiao Ran and Shan Yuerou also went to the employment agency that Hong Tao said, and found that the customer who recruited the crew through them was a middle-aged man with a fat body, very similar to the cook on the ship described by Hong Tao.

Xiao Ran left his own information at the employment agency, claiming to be a graduate of a nearby school, and if there is still a recruiting crew, be sure to bring him one.

Within two days of the wide net being cast, the Coast Guard Brigade received information.

There is a group of people who are secretly recruiting crews, and they are specifically asking for young people who have no experience and want to make money on the ship without going through formal channels.

Then Xiao Ran also received a call from the intermediary, saying that the fat old customer came to recruit people again, and if he was interested, he would go over in the afternoon to sign a contract.

Now, someone must go on board to investigate and collect evidence.

After an urgent report, the final leader decided to arrange for a person to get on the boat, and at the same time, the coast guard brigade was ready to arrest Roger and his gang immediately after determining the facts of the crime!
