The terms "smuggling" and "repatriation" are far away for ordinary people, but they are too familiar with public security, border defense, and embassies and consulates abroad, and they can be said to be part of the work. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Every year, the Bei-Beijing Border Station and the Donghai Border Station accept thousands of Chinese repatriated by other countries, and thousands of foreign smugglers are also repatriated.

As the police counselor of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, Han Bo has encountered three or four smuggling cases and thirty or forty smuggling people in most of the past six months. If you are sent to countries such as the United States, Britain, and France, you will only encounter more than you do now.

In short, this is just a small episode.

The Consulate General in Joburg will have someone to take over and assist the South African side in repatriation. After they are repatriated to China, the public security and border defense departments will learn more about the situation in more detail, collect clues about the "snakeheads" who organized them to smuggle and persecute them, and if conditions permit, they will definitely file a case for investigation.

After calling the Consulate General and about to go to the pick-up gate, Liu Xincun came with four colleagues dragging suitcases.

"Bureau Zhao, this is Counselor Han. ”

"Hello Counselor Han, Zhao Jingwei of the Jinlin City Public Security Bureau. ”

"Bureau Zhao, I'm glad to be there. ”

Illegally raising more than 300 million yuan is really not much in big cities or developed coastal areas. However, the "1.27" case occurred in a relatively economically backward rural area, and Yu Qingfang deceived most of the peasants who did not have much money, and the bad impact caused can be imagined.

Zhao Jingwei, executive deputy director of the Jinlin Municipal Public Security Bureau, personally stepped out, held Han Bo's hand and said sincerely: "Counselor Han, I'm sorry to trouble you, and trouble you to pick up the plane in person." ”

"The public security in the world is a family, don't be so polite, it's our job to chase and escape. Han Bo shook his hand vigorously again, and his eyes turned to the man and two women who accompanied him.

"Counselor Han, let me introduce you, this is Comrade Jiang Jianli of the Economic Investigation Detachment of our Municipal Bureau, Xiao Jiang graduated with a bachelor's degree, English level 8, and is one of the most capable police flowers in our Municipal Bureau. ”

The young policewoman was very embarrassed by the praise, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello Counselor Han, it's an honor to know Counselor Han." ”

"Welcome, welcome. There were a lot of people at the airport, Han Bo didn't want to be watched, so he didn't return the salute, and shook his hand lightly.

Zhao Jingwei pointed to the remaining two elated subordinates: "This is Comrade Wang Rui of the Foreign Affairs Office of our Municipal Bureau, and he is also the comrade with the highest English level in our Municipal Bureau, graduated from the Foreign Chinese College, and worked as an English teacher in the No. 2 Middle School of the City for several years before being transferred to the Municipal Bureau. ”

"Hello Counselor Han!"

"Comrade Wang Rui, welcome. ”

"This young man is also surnamed Han, his name is Han Xiaochuan, and Counselor Han You were the same family five hundred years ago, graduated from a bachelor's degree, just joined the work last year, and is an investigator of the Economic Investigation Brigade of our Nanwu County Public Security Bureau, and his English is also good. ”

The leaders of the city bureau led the team, two men and two women, and three of them had relatively high English proficiency.

If no breakthrough is made at the last moment, it will be easier to communicate with the South African police as originally planned, and if the South African police can provide assistance, the suspect will be arrested by the way, and in the future, there will be two female comrades who are familiar with the situation to participate in the escort, and it will be more convenient on the way back to China, after all, the suspect is a woman.

The Jinlin Municipal Bureau was very thoughtful and trusted his counterpart, who was based in South Africa, and Han Bo didn't want to waste time, so he walked with them to the airline's service desk while introducing the latest situation.

They were on the road before and didn't know what had changed today.

Zhao Jingwei was overjoyed and couldn't help asking: "Counselor Han, so we hope to bring the suspect back in the shortest possible time?"

"It depends on whether the South African immigration authorities can help us find the suspect, and it also depends on how long your visa lasts. ”

"Counselor Han rest assured, our visa is no problem, the provincial department attaches great importance to the 1.27 case, and helped us find the provincial foreign affairs office, the provincial foreign affairs office can talk to the South African embassy in China, help us say hello, let us go directly to Beijing, and get a business visa. ”

South Africa has only one embassy and two consulates general in China.

The embassy is in Beijing, the consulate general is in the East China Sea, and the other is in Hong Kong.

In terms of consular division, the Consulate General of the East China Sea is responsible for Donghai City and the six surrounding provinces of the East China Sea, the Consulate General of Hong Kong is responsible for Hong Kong and Macao, and the Embassy is responsible for other provinces and cities except the above-mentioned areas. Xishan Province is in the consular district of the embassy, so they naturally have to go to Beijing to apply for a visa, and this time they also departed from Beijing-Beijing International Airport.

Han Bo accompanied them to the service desk, showed their documents, and bought tickets to Cape Town together.

This is to help the Jinlin Municipal Bureau handle the case, Zhao Jingwei naturally will not let Han Bo and the others pay for it, and the accompanying "big housekeeper" Jiang Jianli tacitly rushed to pay, the police liaison team does not have much funds, and Han Bo is not polite to them.

It is worth mentioning that the young police flower, who thought she was good at English, found that South African English seemed to be different from the English she had learned, and she could hardly communicate normally, so she could only ask Liu Xincun, the third secretary of the embassy, to help negotiate with her red face.

Wang Rui and Han Xiaochuan were also dumbfounded, until they passed the security check and walked into the waiting hall and whispered in the back.

There was still more than an hour before boarding, and Federer made an appointment, and I don't know where he ran or when he will come.

Han Bo called Federer, put away his phone and explained with a smile: "South Africa was once a British colony, so English has always been widely spoken as the official language. DURING THE WHITE RULE, MOST SCHOOLS HAD ENGLISH CLASSES IN ADDITION TO AFRICAAS, WHICH IS AFRIKAANS. After the establishment of the new South Africa, blacks were in charge. In addition to their own indigenous language, they mostly respect English, but English in South Africa has a unique character. ”

"It's not the same as standard English?" asked Wang Rui in a ghostly manner.

"No, South African English has a very strong multi-ethnic accent. Black English has a black English accent, white South Africans have a white South African accent, and whites are also divided into British descendants and Boers. Among blacks, most of them, except for the well-educated, have a hard time listening to English.

The English on South African national television and radio is just as unbearable. The main problem with black English is inaccurate pronunciation, and South African President Mbeki's English is not a bad English or two, which has been discussed at great length in national newspapers before, and the white public expects government officials and television stations to set an example and not 'spoil' English. ”

Zhao Jingwei was in a happy mood when he learned that it was entirely possible to arrest the suspect on this trip, and although his English level may be worse than that of the South African president, he still asked with interest: "Later, did you promote standard English as well as we promoted Mandarin?"

"How is it possible, people black people say that this is our own English in South Africa, and it has nothing to do with British English or American English. ”

Liu Xincun had more say on this issue than Han Bo, and couldn't help but add: "There are many unique words in South African English, and even native English speakers will be confused when they arrive in South Africa......

As an example, Federer hurried in with a pot-bellied subordinate.

The cooperation just confirmed at noon was so unjustifiable, especially on the issue of assisting in the arrest and issuance of Yu Qingfang, he did not come over to greet Zhao Jingwei and others, and Han Bo also tacitly did not introduce them to each other, and asked Liu Xincun to accompany his domestic counterparts who had just arrived in South Africa, and walked over alone to sit with them.

"Secretary Liu, what is the rank of that immigration officer, does he have the final say?"

Liu Xincun looked back behind him and introduced in a low voice: "He used to be the second-in-command of the Immigration Bureau, but later several scandals broke out in the Ministry of the Interior, and the Immigration Bureau changed blood, and he sat on the cold bench. The background is still very hard, otherwise it would have been investigated. Although the real power is not as good as before, our matter is not a big problem for him, and he can call the shots. ”

"Almost investigated, there are financial problems!"

"This is South Africa, and he really doesn't mean much compared to other senior officials. The former Inspector General of the National Police, now the Vice President of Interpol, has an extraordinary relationship with a big drug lord, the media broke out, the prosecutor is investigating, and it is estimated that it will eventually be resolved. The current Inspector General of Police is a woman, and not long after taking office, all kinds of rumors of corruption are flying all over the place, and South Africans have long been accustomed to it. ”

"How so?"

Don't interfere in other people's internal affairs, Liu Xincun smiled and stopped talking about this topic.

In order to save money, Jiang Jianli bought all economy class.

Federer booked a first-class cabin, and after boarding the plane, he found that there were two vacant seats, and immediately asked the flight attendant to upgrade Han Bo. The immigration bureau boss, no one dares to offend, besides, it's just a seat, and it's empty and empty, so Han Bo just sat in first class.

As night fell, the plane landed safely at Cape Town Airport.

Liu Xincun took his domestic counterparts to a hotel near the Consulate General to rest, and Han Bo and Qu Sheng, who came to pick up the airport, got into the car of the Cape Town Immigration Bureau and went straight to the Cape Town Immigration Bureau with Federer.

Federer was astonishingly efficient in dismantling a large multinational organization smuggling syndicate, and perhaps even picking up corrupt military personnel or corrupt elements in government departments in the course of the operation, and disgrace those departments that had been watching the interior ministry in a bad way, and as soon as he arrived at the immigration office, he summoned a meeting of immigration officers he believed to be trustworthy.

"Gentlemen, the General Administration has received a reliable report that this Chinese woman is connected to a transnational smuggling syndicate, and this transnational smuggling group has persevered in organizing smuggling in the past three years, sending Chinese smugglers to South Africa in batches, violating immigration laws and disrupting social order!"

Federer looked at the photo of the suspect on the projection screen, took a wanted notice handed by Han Bo, and emphasized in an extremely exaggerated tone: "This Chinese woman is not only suspected of smuggling, but also suspected of many crimes in China, this is a wanted warrant issued by Interpol, which shows how unscrupulous the transnational smuggling group we want to investigate is, no matter who it is, even if it is a terrorist, as long as it is profitable, they can help those people come to South Africa." ”

"Mr. Director, this seems to be in the hands of the police. A stocky immigration officer unsurprisingly asked.

"Yes, if it's just an internationally wanted person, that's obviously under the jurisdiction of the General Police, but she's not just an Interpol wanted person, she's also suspected of smuggling, and she's also linked to the transnational smuggling syndicate that we're trying to emanate. The Directorate decided to work with the Chinese police to find the woman and eradicate the criminal syndicate that had helped her smuggle her into the country. ”

Federer straightened his suit, walked to Han Bo and the two who had just stood up, and enthusiastically introduced: "Mr. Han and Mr. Qu should be familiar to you, let me introduce them again, they are not only the diplomats of the Chinese government in South Africa, but also the police liaison officers of the Chinese police in South Africa, and we need the help of Mr. Han and Mr. Qu in the next operation." ”

It is indeed no stranger, Han Bo and his wife have visited the Cape Town Immigration Department more than once.

Not only did he give a small gift to one of them, but he also invited several of them to lunch, and there was a round of sparse applause in the conference room.

"Thank you, thank you, Director Sanders, thank you, Director Fayega, thank you, friends. ”

Fearing that they would not be able to understand his own non-standard English, Han Bo said in a slower voice than he could: "Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, there are tens of thousands of Chinese living in beautiful Cape Town. There's no denying that there are illegal immigrants among them, and that's why I think we need to work more closely together. ”

"Mr. Counselor, do you have any good suggestions? The director of the Cape Town Immigration Department, Sanders, was most interested in this, and asked with his chin propped up.

"For example, in intelligence, as we do today, we can carry out intelligence cooperation with your bureau on anti-smuggling; since most of the immigration officers do not know Chinese, our embassy and the consulate general in Cape Town can hire Chinese teachers to help your bureau train immigration officers in the language so that they can have simple communication in law enforcement in the future." ”

Han Bo paused and continued very seriously and sincerely: "At the same time, we will guide the Chinese who do business, work and live in South Africa to integrate into the local society, encourage them to learn English and actively participate in social welfare. Distinguished officials are invited to visit the Chinese community and have a discussion with the Chinese representatives, so that they can learn more about South Africa's immigration laws and regulations while getting to know them......"

"Sounds good, Sanders, I think you can try. Federer was happy to help Han Bo get on good terms with the Cape Town Immigration Department, and nodded approvingly.

"The importance of cooperation on the issue of anti-smuggling cannot be overstated. If you wish, I would like to suggest to my superiors in China that a formal, official invitation be sent to Beijing to communicate with our main Chinese anti-smuggling law enforcement agency. ”

"Without a doubt, it's a good idea. ”

It doesn't matter if you communicate or not, what matters is that you can go on vacation, visit the legendary Great Wall, and be hospitalized by the Chinese authorities.

Seeing the knowing smiles of the immigration officers attending the meeting, Federer clapped his hands and said while the iron was hot: "Gentlemen, before we look for this woman, and we must learn everything we want to know from her mouth." The Directorate General received a credible tip that she had commissioned a guy in Joburg to forge a set of documents to apply for a permanent residence permit, and that these documents would lead us to find her and that they would be delivered to Cape Town tomorrow......"
