Chapter 302: Turning Dead?
In China, people who study Marxism-Leninism are very good!
In order to welcome Xiao Chenyu, who was studying Marxism-Leninism in "Gongzhi", all cadres at and above the section level changed into police uniforms, so as not to make her feel that "801" was not strict, so that she would not feel uncomfortable wearing a police uniform alone. At the same time, in order to show respect, she was specially asked to sit next to the "big boss" and participate in the upcoming case analysis meeting.
Although there is only one more person, the specifications have changed dramatically.
It was no longer the previous internal meeting of the Backlog Investigation Division, but a meeting attended by the leaders of the "Ministry of Public Security" and the "Ministry of Public Security". It doesn't matter whether Professor Han has an administrative level or not, no matter how high Xiao Chenyu's level is, but here they are leaders.
In just over half a month, so many things have happened.
Jiang Huiru was in a trance, and it wasn't until Qin Chaolong, a police officer from the Second Section, began to introduce the case at Zhan Shengrong's signal that he relieved himself and picked up a pen to make a record.
"At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of May 23, 2013, during the routine inspection, the customs officer of the Zhanjiang Customs Wharf Supervision Section inadvertently smelled the foul smell in a container that was about to be hoisted onto the ship, and immediately contacted the freight forwarding company and the company to which the goods belonged to open the box for inspection, and found that there were two adult male bodies with a height of ** in the box."
The head is large, the abdomen is swollen, the arms are open, and the skin is dark green.
"801" has been dealing with corpses since the day it was founded, and under the torture of Qi Zhaoyou, who has read countless corpses, has a ghost hand and a Buddha's heart, and Jiang Yi, a "little witch" who is extremely perverted, even the most timid people will no longer be afraid of corpses.
Xiao Chenyu is the first time to see it, even the photos feel terrifying, and even if it is so big, even the eyes that are not blind can see it clearly.
"Just get used to it." Han Jun turned his head and smiled, motioning for Qin Chaolong to continue his introduction.
"Because the body appeared at the fully enclosed customs supervision wharf, the customs officer immediately reported to the Zhanjiang Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau, and the anti-smuggling police rushed to the scene, believing that the homicide was not within the jurisdiction of the Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau, so they contacted the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Zhanjiang City Public Security Bureau, and the local public security department took over in accordance with relevant regulations."
Li Sijin called up a few photos very tacitly, Qin Chaolong pointed to the second LCD screen on the left with a laser pointer, and continued to introduce: "The Zhanjiang Municipal Bureau attaches great importance to it, the deputy director of criminal investigation and the head of the criminal investigation detachment led the criminal police and technical police to quickly rush to the wharf, and immediately investigated the scene, visited and questioned relevant personnel, and at the same time retrieved the surveillance video of the wharf and the surrounding wharf.
The two deceased had injuries on the surface of their bodies, blunt force trauma to their heads, and blood stains in the containers, which were identified by forensic doctors as homicide; No wallets, mobile phones, ID cards, bank cards or other items were found at the scene, and the clothes and shoes they were wearing were very ordinary, and it was impossible to identify the two victims; Video analysis also found nothing suspicious, and the investigation was deadlocked. â
It is another nameless corpse, and Han Jun believes that at least one-third of the cases to be investigated after "801" are nameless corpse cases. Because it can be broken early, it will not require "801" assistance.
He pondered for a moment, and asked expressionlessly: "There are police officers at the customs, and two corpses appeared at the customs supervision dock, who is in charge of this case?" â
Qin Chaolong sighed lightly and explained with a wry smile: "The anti-smuggling police are only responsible for investigating criminal cases related to smuggling, and in the absence of evidence to prove that this is related to smuggling, the Zhanjiang City Bureau has indisputable jurisdiction. However, after the investigation of the scene, the case handling personnel of the municipal bureau found many suspicious points, first of all, before the container enters the supervision area, it needs to go through customs inspection, and the customs has relevant records. Now that it has been checked, how did the two deceased get into the container, and how did the container get into the terminal?
Secondly, the police handling the case questioned the customs officer, the freight forwarding company and the personnel of the company to which the goods belonged and participated in the unpacking inspection, and found that the container was locked at that time and the seal was intact. If the previous inspection work is consistent with the records, then the two deceased persons should have been placed in the container after it entered the custody area, and someone had re-locked and re-sealed. â
"What's the problem with customs?"
"It doesn't say it explicitly in the case file, but the meaning is clear. The customs side may have realized what the city bureau was thinking, and the anti-smuggling sub-bureau set up a special team to start the investigation from the wharf, and found that no one had touched the container after it was pulled into the supervision area by a trailer. In addition, the inspection work is very strict, they have the H986 container machine inspection system, which is equivalent to a CT machine, and the records show that there is no one in the inspection time. â
This explanation can't be explained, Han Jun couldn't help frowning slightly: "There was no one when I went in, but there were people after I went in." Magic, a big death, and two at a time? â
Qin Chaolong pointed to the topographic map of the wharf that Li Sijin had just transferred out, and said in a low voice: "It is impossible to determine whether the inspection work is strict or not, but the freight yard is monitored, and the monitoring records are complete." If it really has nothing to do with the customs officer, then the problem lies here, this section is the monitoring blind spot, about 0.7 kilometers long. â
"Did the container trailer driver find it?"
"I found it, nothing suspicious, but he remembered that he seemed to have parked his car in the blind spot and went to the toilet for about five or six minutes."
Han Jun asked again: "How long has the container been in the dock?" â
"17 days."
"The cost of supervising the dock transshipment is very expensive, how can it be put on for so long?
"Affected by the typhoon, the container ship was delayed in the Philippines for nearly ten days, and there was a backlog of many containers at that time, and the one who found the body was just one of them."
"Nothing to do with the owner?"
"It doesn't matter, in fact, there are two cargo owners, which belong to the consolidated container."
"What about freight forwarders?"
Qin Chaolong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The freight forwarding company also feels very wronged, they didn't expect that there was a typhoon, and they incurred a lot of expenses at the wharf, saying that there was no money to be made, and they had such a bizarre thing." The textiles in the container could not be delivered on time, and they were contaminated by the corpse, and the owner even held them responsible. â
Han Jun pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's the matter with the lock?" â
It turns out that there is no training in vain, just went to the dock a few days ago to investigate, Qin Chaolong explained like a few treasures: "Not so much a lock, but a seal, generally there are about three kinds, one is the seal produced by the lock manufacturer commissioned by the shipping company, which has a unique seal number." This type of seal has ISO standards, and if the seal does not match the record on the bill of lading after the container arrives at the port of destination, the consignee is likely to refuse to accept it.
The second kind of commodity inspection lock is the office of some notary houses and BV institutions, like a small steel rope, also called a wire lock, with basic zero safety performance, but it is only used to prove whether the goods meet the standards, and is only valid between buyers and sellers; Then there are the customer's own locks, which are used in some high-value containers. The container in this case has only the first type of seal, which can be opened with special tools. â
"Like a train toilet door lock?"
Qin Chaolong pointed to the photo of the seal on the display screen and confirmed: "The appearance is different, the nature is almost the same." â
The Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau is listed as the 24th Bureau within the Ministry of Public Security, and in fact, no one regards the anti-smuggling police as public security police, at most they think they are professional police. Customs treatment is better than that of the police, and many anti-smuggling police officers also think that they are customs personnel and have little to do with the public security.
Xiao Chenyu directly believes that this matter has nothing to do with the customs, even if it has nothing to do with the anti-smuggling police, even if it has nothing to do with the customs officers, it will also have to do with other personnel employed by the customs. Otherwise, how could such a bizarre thing happen under their noses.
Han Jun didn't make up his mind like her, but asked casually, "How did you analyze it?" â
It is the practice of "801" to let the police speak first, and Li Sijin was the first to get up and said: "The autopsy report shows that the time of death of the two victims should be about 20 days before they were found, and the bloodstains in the container can basically confirm this." In other words, they should have been killed before and after the container entered the terminal.
Murder requires a motive, as does stuffing a body into a container, so we believe that it should have nothing to do with customs officers. Not to mention that it is unlikely that they will know the law and break the law, even if it is really done by customs officers, they will not throw the body in this way. Because even if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a year. â
Xia Moqing groaned: "There are corpses inside, the goods are contaminated, foreign customers refuse to accept them, and the container will be shipped back." If the destination is a developed country, it will inevitably cause a series of adverse effects. Why do you throw the body, you just don't want to be investigated. If this were the case, there would be a thorough investigation. â
Han Jun nodded and said, "There is some truth, continue to analyze." â
"Yes!"
Li Sijin sorted out his thoughts, and then analyzed: "The clothes of the two victims are very ordinary, especially the shoes worn by one of the victims, the soles of which are almost worn out. They should not have been in a very good financial position before they were killed, and it is unlikely that they were involved in smuggling. â
"How old are the two victims?"
"The corpse is highly **, and it can only be speculated that it is between 20 and 35 years old."
Li Sijin paused, and said thoughtfully: "I don't have an ID card, I don't have a wallet, and I appeared in a container at the customs supervision wharf, we think it may be related to smuggling." There have been similar cases before, except that people were suffocated or starved to death, not beaten to death. â
Not a rich man, no wallet, no ID card, no mobile phone, think about it like a smuggler.
Just when Xiao Chenyu thought that this speculation was more reliable, Han Jun said in a low voice: "Smuggling is a very interesting topic, although I have never smuggled people, I have seen thousands of smugglers. If it had been 20 years ago, it would have been possible, but now it is not 20 years ago, and the possibility is very slim. â
Zhang Xiang asked puzzledly, "Why?" â
"Keep up with the times!"
Han Jun smiled and patiently explained: "After decades of reform and opening up, the way of smuggling is to be updated, changing with each passing day, and keeping up with the trend of the times. In the earliest days, it was basically a small freighter that floated across the ocean to the West Coast of the United States, throwing people into the sea on the high seas outside Los Angeles, and seeing if he could swim up.
Sometimes those who run the ocean transport also do some business of transporting people, stuffing people in containers or deck mezzanines, and also driving people into the sea on the high sea, and then watching the spectacular swimming procession rush towards the shore.
Sometimes the head of the snake is very kind, after all, it is related to the source of income in the future. Before putting people down, they will call the USCIS by satellite phone. After going ashore, there are quilts, blankets, stoves, food, doctors, and sometimes even warships and helicopters will be dispatched to rescue people. â
Having never seen smuggling, Zhang Xiang couldn't help but smile and asked, "It's so simple?" â
It's all for life, at least for a better life, Han Jun has been in New York's Chinatown for so many years, and almost all he sees with his eyes open is smugglers, and almost all of them are smugglers before he was developed, and he has no discrimination against smugglers, and even admires their courage.
He said with a stern face: "It's not easy! First, swimming is a physical and technical work, and once you encounter leg cramps or something, you will never be able to go ashore. Second, there are sharks in the sea, which are very dangerous as good body and good technology. Although this method is really a bit dependent on the sky, it still can't resist the enthusiasm of the coastal villagers in Fujian Province.
So 20 years ago, whether it was Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, even Hawaii and Virgin Island, our compatriots were chopping waves. The older generation is really powerful, and there is no way. Now that the conditions are good, very few people take this risk again. â
Living in the United States for more than ten years and holding a U.S. green card, I must sympathize with those people.
Xiao Chenyu wasn't particularly surprised by his position, and couldn't help but ask, "Professor Han, how did you smuggle in now?" â
Professor Han was too familiar with these things, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Today's smuggling, according to customers, is as happy as tourism, and it is often a big roaming around the world. The departure point is usually BJ, SH or Hong Kong, and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand must have a trip, with Paris, France, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands being important transit points.
Some of the routes are more peculiar and offer an African experience. For example, from Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, but in the end you have to make a detour to Paris. It is the fastest to go to Japan and South Korea, if you fly directly from BJ to Mexico, it is the most trouble-free, and the fastest I have seen go to the United States in 3 days.
Generally speaking, after leaving Paris or Amsterdam, the first stop in Central America is Cuba. Then Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and the like often go around, and some turn around several times and can't find a suitable passage and can only go back. Some of them are waiting for the opportunity to find a line and live in a hotel or private house for more than half a year. â
Jiang Huiru was made ridiculous, put down her pen and asked with a smile: "So exaggerated?" â
"There are snakeheads, they just listen to the arrangement. The smugglers have locations in every country, and there are people everywhere, and many places have cooperative hotels or local residents' houses, and transportation facilities are also readily available. What tour buses, Eurostar annual passes, buggies and so on and so forth.
Many of them have also been modified to create zĂ o, and there is a mezzanine below to hide people, anyway, there are all kinds of strange things. An important transit station like Paris will basically have several dens, which are equivalent to bases and base camps, and you won't find anyone if you drill into Chinatown anyway. â
Thinking of his experience in the United States, Professor Han University became more and more energetic.
"Although there is a snake head arrangement, there is no need to worry about the language barrier, but the cost is very high. When I first went to the United States, I heard about the $50,000 smuggling fee, and I was terrified. Now taking into account the appreciation of the yuan, it has risen to 8 to 100,000 US dollars. Don't think that every family in Fujian Province is a millionaire, but the relationship between the villagers there is particularly iron.
Moreover, the people of Fujian Province in the United States are very strong, and if there is a person in their hometown who goes out, it is definitely not like those who study abroad in the United States who have no acquaintances or relatives, they are basically uncles, aunts, and uncles who have been working in the United States for several years.
In New York, the township associations in other provinces are counted according to the province, and the township associations in Fujian Province are counted according to the village, and there are at least hundreds of the Fengwo Village Township Association and the Heshang Village Township Association; There are also those calculated according to the school, what Changle No. 2 Middle School and the like, which is so refined that it is unreasonable. Therefore, if someone wants to go to the United States, relatives and friends over there will pool some money, and of course they will borrow and repay. â
Professor Han took a sip of water and continued: "There are also loan sharks who offer installment payments, but I don't know how high it is. Anyway, after arriving, I immediately took the bus to other states and went to work at a Chinese restaurant that I had contacted in advance.
The snakeheads all have a network, and they directly deduct part of their wages every month to pay off their debts, and leave a little for themselves. Working in a restaurant is much harder than described in "Beijinger in New York", working more than 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, this is still the treatment of New York Flowers, if you are in those poor rural areas in other states, I am afraid that you will not even be able to rest for a day.
There are often people who are crazy and demented, after all, they are not familiar with the place there, the language is not clear, and it is difficult to communicate, and even the TV and newspapers are in English, so they basically can't communicate. Every day, in addition to the stove is a pillow, life is monotonous to death, and the pressure of repaying debts is great, and it is difficult not to go crazy. â
Xia Moqing asked curiously: "Is there anyone who ran away and didn't pay off his debts?" â
"I haven't heard of it, let alone seen it, and it's basically not like that. Because the smugglers have an illegal gang in Fujian Province, if you run away without debts and are light, the wife and children at home will be in danger. There was once a man in his 30s who was arrested within two days of arriving in the United States, and soon entered the deportation process and was repatriated without paying a penny.
When I arrived at Changle Airport, I thought that I would probably cause trouble for my family in the future, and I hanged myself in the airport toilet without thinking about it. Such tragedies are not uncommon, anyway, when people are unlucky, they drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and they can't complain about bad luck. â
Jiang Huiru asked again: "What about other provinces, are they from Fujian Province?" â
Professor Han stretched his waist and said with a smile: "The people of Fujian Province are basically the dominant force in the Chinese circle in the United States, and they are also the main body of the smugglers. After the development of GD, there are fewer and fewer smugglers, and the original Cantonese-dominated Chinatown is now the world of Fujian dialect, which can be said to be 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
Although Zhejiang Province is also a major source of smuggling, but the direction is different, most of them go to Europe, it is said that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, some people began to run there. Therefore, there are not many people in Zhejiang Province in the United States, but they are all powerful. Flushing, another Chinese district in New York, was started by people from Zhejiang Province, and basically all walks of life have it, unlike people from Fujian Province who open restaurants. â
Looking at their thoughtful looks, Professor Han Da's face turned straight: "They are just for living, although they have done some things that the government doesn't like in order to stay and get the right of abode, but it has nothing to do with ideology."
In fact, many of them are very patriotic, more than most people in the country. Every time a national leader visits the United States, the Consulate General organizes a welcoming crowd of people from basically all Fujian Province. The major overseas Chinese groups in Fujian Province are also the main force in Chinatown, and every time the motherland is in trouble, such as the Xichuan earthquake, 03** or something, they are all generous and donate.
In the past, overseas Chinese groups in Chinatown were all hung with blue sky and white sun flags, which is the so-called traditional overseas Chinese group. If the overseas Chinese group in Fujian Province had not hung the five-star red flag and fought with them, it would have been difficult for the Consulate General to gain a foothold there. â
"Really?"
"If you don't believe me, go check it out."
After talking a little too much, Professor Han Da changed his words: "Zhanjiang belongs to GD, and now it is not 20 years ago, so the possibility of the two deceased trying to smuggle in can basically be ruled out." It has little to do with customs, which means that something must have happened in the few minutes when the trailer is parked in the blind spot. â
"There are no eyewitnesses to the point, so it cannot be verified."
"And how are you going to find out?"
Qin Chaolong pointed to the photo of the container seal and blurted out: "There are not many people who can open this kind of seal, we are going to follow this clue to check." First go to the scene and the corpse, and then delineate the scope of investigation based on the actual situation. Killing two adult men at the same time should be a crime committed by multiple people, as long as a breakthrough is found, the next one will be easy to do. â
It is indeed a solution, Professor Han University thought about it, and asked lightly: "Have you done these jobs in the Zhanjiang City Bureau?" â
"I have done it, but it is not particularly detailed, and only more than 600 people have been screened from the perspective of materials."
"Assisting in the investigation is not our own investigation, many things that can be done in Jiang Province may not be able to be done over there, so let's take a look at the corpse and the scene first."
Han Jun paused, then suddenly turned around and said, "Director Xia, we just came back from GD a few days ago, and we are going to go again, it's too unruly to do this." If I could, I would like to do a national tour. Solve the case while traveling, get a decent RV, and take Yaoyao and Zhang Lin to see the famous mountains and rivers across the country. â
Xia Moqing snorted and said, "This is a good idea, the key is that Professor Zhang has to go to work, and Yaoyao has to go to school." â
"Yaoyao is no problem, it's not much fun for her to not be able to learn, we can teach it ourselves. Zhang Lin is not a big problem, as long as she talks to the school. â
If a round of "upgraded" case inventory can be realized, and if it can be checked, "801" will definitely be more valued by the ministry leaders. If one or two hundred backlog cases can be cracked, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "like the sky".
Jiang Huiru realized that this was an opportunity, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Director, how did you have this idea?" â
"How to say it, the people at the TV station have nothing to do, so they actually went to the fourth middle school to find Principal Yu, and wanted Yaoyao to host a children's program. It's a good thing for other parents, and it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not for us, Zhang Lin and I didn't want her to deal with the media, and her grandfather also thought that she should stay away from the media. â
"Why?"
"She's been praised a lot in China, everybody says she's good, and if she goes on TV again, she'll feel like she's so different. In fact, she is just an ordinary girl, but because of her nationality, bloodline, and my father's relationship, she has received too much preferential treatment. If she becomes a child star, it will have a profound impact on her future, and even a bad one. â
Jiang Huiru reacted, crying and laughing: "She wants to go, you don't want her to go, but you can't bear to refuse, so find a more interesting thing for her to do, such as traveling?" â
Professor Han smiled and said, "Almost." â
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Xia Moqing sighed secretly and asked in a low voice: "Then how long do you plan to travel?" â
"Play until Christmas, let her have a good time, and Zhang Lin also has this wish, I'm afraid you won't be able to arrange it."
"Let's make a good arrangement, leave one-third of the people to train at home, and the rest of them will get in the car and leave, and then rotate, there will be no opinions in the hall, and it is estimated that the ministry will not have opinions, otherwise we would not have sent so many case files."
"What a good arrangement?"
How could Jiang Huiru miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and confirmed with a stern face: "It's definitely easy to arrange." â
Han Jun weighed it, nodded and smiled: "The super long vacation of four and a half months is exciting to think about, Yaoyao must like it." Plan well and design a route. I also have to plan, let alone Zhang Lin, and coordinate with the school. â
For others, it is a case, and for him it is a vacation.
Xiao Chenyu was completely convinced, and was stunned for a while before he stopped talking: "Professor Han, since you have this plan, then my lover doesn't need to be seconded for the time being." â
"You're going to come with us?"
"Of course, I'm your assistant."
"Well, you look at the arrangement yourself." The more Han Jun thought about it, the more excited he became, and he suddenly got up and said: "Anyway, we need time to prepare, we will set off today on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and we will first go to handle the 'big change of dead man case' in GD, and after we come back, we will study and study it well to determine the final plan for the national tour." â
Jiang Huiru was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation: "Yes!" â
