Chapter 118: The 10,000-ton Giant Ship
The analysis of the veteran pre-trial was of great help to us in clarifying the nature of the case.
He also gave us suggestions on the materials that we need to supplement and improve in the next step.
"Be accurate in the quantity and price of steel and lumber."
"The stolen unit is going to collect evidence."
"You can apply for residential surveillance first, and continue to review and dig deeper."
When we went to report, we had a preliminary idea, that is, to see if we could criminalize the captain and punish the other crew members.
Now that the comrades in the Economic Bureau have given such a point, it is simply a big case, and I was also a little drumming in my heart at that time.
After returning to the institute and reporting to the director, he didn't say anything, but said: "Do it according to the opinions of the county bureau." "
In the next few days, Shen Guoxing and Zhong Zhiguo interrogated the four people who were left in the detention center intermittently, constantly refining some details.
The hardest part is the soldiers, who have to take turns on duty every night and take good care of them.
When it was my turn to stand guard, I thought of the future ending of the four of them, and I felt an indescribable taste in my heart.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they were let go home after asking the county bureau.
I didn't intervene in this case later, but just asked me to revise it when Shen Guoxing wrote the arrest materials.
I've added the words "good and bad work" at the beginning of the paragraph, which is what I see in many old files. There is always such a statement for those who commit crimes such as theft.
Now it seems that it is not accurate to use it on these four people, after all, they are not habitual thieves.
After the New Year, I had one thing at hand after another.
The most important thing is the series of thefts during the dismantling of the 10,000-ton ship and the fact that the young people in Huangsha molested women.
In the early days of reform and opening up, peasants, who had always been accustomed to poverty, were coldly hit by the economic boom, and it was by no means an isolated case that they were ruthlessly attacked.
And the long-term closed and suppressed sexual consciousness, at the beginning of the lifting of the ban, washed away people's moral embankment like a flood, and it was not individuals who fell into the water.
The 10,000-ton ship came before the Spring Festival in 84, and I have been busy with the case at that time, and I don't know anything about it, and it is estimated that the leaders of the institute must know.
A few days after the Spring Festival, the institute arranged for us to visit the 10,000-ton ship.
Before that, several groups of people from the county town came to the office to contact and work, and they all looked for the leader and talked about things in the cadre's office.
Later, when I got acquainted, I learned that they were from the county No. 2 Light Bureau.
They bought the boat. The newly built shipbreaking yard is also under the management of the Second Light Bureau, just like the steel window factory.
The boat washed on the beach not far from the Dry Reef Gate Wharf, and it was very tall.
It was the first time I saw such a large ship up close, and I thought it had more than 100,000 tons.
When the people on the side told us that the ship was 30,000 or 50,000 tons, they didn't believe it.
Under the bow of the ship there is a submarine-like iron pillar that stretches out at the front of the hull, which looks a little intimidating.
In the past, when I saw a big ship floating in the sea, I couldn't see it at all.
Before we waited to take a small boat to the 10,000-ton ship, the comrades who took us on a tour from the Second Light Bureau gave us a briefing from time to time and answered our curious questions.
"How did this ship get up?"
"The machines on board are working fine, and there are two tugboats on top of it at the back, so they can rush up in shallow water."
"How much did you buy it?"
The man replied that it seemed to be $10,000, and he had forgotten a little. The general feeling is not expensive, just sell it as scrap copper and rotten iron can make money.
It is no wonder that countless shipbreaking yards were built along the coast in those years, and the impact on the environment was later clearly felt.
A few years later, I passed by some coastal beaches, and the mud that I had seen when I was a child crawling with fish and crabs was no longer seen.
The sleek shoal seemed to be pouring out something to me, and my mind flashed through the giant ship I saw for the first time countless times.
"This ship seems to be very new, why should it be dismantled?"
"You can't tell the old or the new from the paint on the iron ship."
"If the ship is insured, it must be scrapped if it is not inspected once the year arrives."
In fact, it saves a cost for the disposal of scrap ships for foreign ships, while domestic shipbreaking companies make a lot of money on the price difference of steel plates, which is a win-win deal.
It's only the coastal environment that is at stake.
Some ships carried several dry tons of waste oil, and there have been many accidents that caused fires during dismantling.
On the occasion of the 50 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, I went to Jiangxi and Hunan with a director of the Public Security Department to express condolences to the families of two martyrs.
There were several people who accompanied us on the tour, and everyone gathered around them and asked a lot of questions, some of which they might not be able to answer.
When the tide rose a little bigger, we took a small boat to the 10,000-ton ship.
Looking up at the side of the giant ship several stories high, and then looking at the boat of more than ten tons under my feet, I really experienced the taste of "a small boat".
The process of boarding the ship is not simple.
A hanging ladder is hung down from the big ship, which is soft and can be climbed up one block at a time.
For safety, a sturdy rope is tied to the person who crawls each time.
Two or three people on the top helped lift it up.
Fortunately, we are all young guys, and if there is a girl, it is a bit of a hanging.
The hull of a ship tens of meters long feels like a large playground.
They first took us to the bow of the ship, and the chains were as thick as arms, and the anchors hung on them always weighed several thousand pounds.
Standing at the bow of the ship and looking at the stern, the bridge is three or four stories high, painted pale white, forming a distinct color difference with the hull, which looks particularly comfortable.
We climbed onto the bridge in high spirits, and everything was on it, including a high-powered telescope. We took turns fiddling, and we looked through the telescopes at the village and the fields on the shore very clearly.
"Now none of the things on the ship have been moved down, and four people are arranged to take care of the ship every day."
"You were the first guests on board."
"We're not going to allow anyone else to get on board, and we're going to count and register before we can start moving what we can move."
After listening to their introduction, everyone asked curiously.
"Who drove the boat?"
"Foreign sailors. They drove the boat here, and after joint inspections such as customs and border inspection, we sent them to Ningbo by special car. ”
It turned out that the comrades of our counterpart, the Ningbo Border Inspection Station, had been on the ship long before us.
Later, after the commander studied the border inspection business, he learned that this kind of foreign ship can only enter after strict joint inspection, which is a symbol of national sovereignty, and every port and wharf open to the outside world is the country's border defense line.
When we entered the crew's cabin, we were all stunned, it turned out that the living conditions on the ship were so good!
Each bed is cushioned with Simmons.
At that time, we slept on a hard bed, and only the director and Yu were soft beds made of palm rope.
Each small room is equipped with a small Xiaoice box. There were still some things in the fridge and the steward poured us a cup of coffee to taste.
It was my first time drinking coffee, it was a bit bitter, but it was a novelty.
The floor is covered with a thick carpet, and it is still very new.
All the tables, stools and sofas are the best and most elaborate I have ever seen.
Back at the office, everyone was talking about the facilities and living conditions on the ship, as if we were living in two worlds.
Sadly, in the process of dismantling and storing these objects, many local migrant workers were harmed.
