Tianjin Port.

Jiang Yuan took Mu Zhiyang and others and strolled around the port. In front of them were various tall gantry cranes or giant port equipment that could not be named.

Wan Quan accompanied him and introduced actively: "Tianjin Port's throughput is among the top 10 in the world, with an annual scale of 5 million tons. Last year, the container throughput exceeded 2000 million TEUs. The characteristics of their smuggling are cars, frozen products, electronic products and luxury goods. The main exports are steel, rare metals and high value-added industrial products, which are very distinctive and the types of goods are very concentrated."

Jiang Yuan didn't understand the anti-smuggling case, so he just pondered it in his mind and said, "With such a large throughput, it's basically impossible to search all of them with just one ship, right?"

"Small boats are easy to inspect. If a large ship is inspected, the most they can do is check what the crew members are carrying on their own luggage. You see the ship unloading over there, it should be a 20-ton ship, which is at least 300 meters long. It is unloading iron ore, and it can unload about 4 tons a day. It will take five days to unload 20 tons. If it is grain, it will be unloaded even slower, about 5 tons a day. But how is it possible to inspect 3 or 3 tons of cargo?" Wan Quan gave an example and Jiang Yuan understood.

"So we have to rely on special intelligence and other targeted investigations?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Spot checks are also necessary. They are to accumulate clues and have a greater deterrent effect. But the real solution to a case depends on the investigation behind the scenes. Sometimes, even if there are clues, spot checks cannot find evidence. For example, I worked on a frozen product case. The suspect modified the refrigerated container. The front third contained normal legal frozen meat, while the back two-thirds contained smuggled beef. It was not ordinary smuggled beef, but beef from an epidemic area. We used temperature probes to search for it 24 hours a day, and we were exhausted because you cannot detain people's goods indefinitely, especially frozen goods. There are many problems if they expire."

Wan Quan started to talk about the smuggling case itself. "Just looking at the Brazilian imported goods here, there are some that mix red sandalwood with ordinary wood. The wood is all soaked in chemicals, so even dogs can't smell it. And Brazilian soybeans, among 10 tons of genetically modified soybeans, they mix tons of unapproved genetically modified soybeans. If you don't know soybeans, you can't check it."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "So, the anti-smuggling bureaus in various places must have targeted personnel and equipment configurations?"

"That's right. However, the degree of attention paid by the Anti-Smuggling Bureaus in different places is different. As you can see, Tianjin Port is certainly a configuration of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, but with their annual throughput of 5 million tons, it is hard to say how much energy they can devote to the 929 case. Even now, it is extremely difficult to ask them to cooperate." While Wan Quan was putting in the eye drops, he glanced vigilantly to the left rear.

Over there, the leaders of the Tianjin Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau were talking to the leaders of the Changyang Customs Anti-smuggling Branch.

"It would be good if you could sort out your relationships with each other." The more places Jiang Yuan went, the more complicated he felt the local situations were. Under normal circumstances, he would hope to outsource this part of the content.

Wan Quan was naturally willing to maintain this model and quickly said, "No problem. Although our Anti-Smuggling Bureau is one level lower than them, we have been following this case for two years, and it has been a key case for our Investigation Department for two years. To be honest, even if they take over now, they won't be able to keep up with our progress in less than two months, let alone conduct a simultaneous investigation."

"That's true." Jiang Yuan's tone sounded very satisfied, and he looked at the several men Wan Quan brought with a satisfied look.

Although the Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau is also part of the police force, it is much more difficult to get admitted than the local police bureau, especially the county bureau like Ningtai.

In other words, Wan Quan and other police officers in the Anti-Smuggling Bureau were all strong in essay writing at the beginning. Their usual enthusiasm, learning ability and academic qualifications are remarkable. They can compete with strong people like Wang Chuanxing who were admitted to the Criminal Police Detachment of Changyang Municipal Bureau.

In particular, the knowledge system they possess, although very different from that of criminal police, may not be a bad thing.

"Shall we go and see the containers of smuggled cars?" Wan Quan suggested again.

"Let's go." Jiang Yuan turned around and followed Wan Quan into the car.

Wan Quan gestured backwards, and his subordinates understood what he meant. They got into their cars and drove away all the cars on the scene, leaving only a Ford 150 without a key.

The people from the Tianjingang Anti-Smuggling Bureau realized it too late. They couldn't even see the rear of the car anymore and realized that the other party might have left them behind.

……

When the people from Tianjingang Anti-Smuggling Bureau saw Jiang Yuan again, it was already dinner time.

"What we are preparing today is a small hot pot, a seafood hot pot." The person who came out to entertain the anti-smuggling bureau of Tianjingang was the chief of investigation section Hang Haichuan. It was benchmarked against the anti-smuggling branch of Changyang Customs and was upgraded by one level, so four people came at once.

Hang Haichuan arranged for Jiang Yuan to sit next to him, and then he pulled him aside to introduce the hot pot: "Everyone has a pot, and we can fry all kinds of seafood and meat. Many people talk about our Tianjin, and they mention the pancakes and fried dough sticks. In fact, the seafood in Tianjin is excellent, especially the small seafood near the sea. It is not very valuable, but it is very fresh."

Jiang Yuan obediently put some shellfish and small squid into the pot, and looked at the bubbling hot pot, stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something?" Wan Quan didn't even touch the hot pot, but just looked at Jiang Yuan with a little excitement. According to the rhythm of the film and television drama, the famous detective should have gained something by now.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, sighed, and said, "I want to..."

"You say……"

Jiang Yuan tapped the pot and said, "Wouldn't it be better to put the meat in first and then cook the seafood? Beef has more fat..."

"This is what you are talking about!" Wan Quan couldn't catch his breath and almost fell into the pot.

"What else?" Jiang Yuan asked Wan Quan.

"Of course... I was thinking that you might have thought of how to solve the case." Wan Quan whispered.

"There's no rush to solve the case." Jiang Yuan looked at the bubbling hot pot, then looked up at the surprised Wan Quan, smiled, and said, "Even if we determine the identity of the victim, it's still a long way to find the suspect, and even longer to solve the case. It won't happen that quickly."

"I understand. I understand. It's been two years, after all."

"Take it step by step, make preparations first, and then see what results we can achieve in the next few days." Jiang Yuan is more than 10 years younger than Wan Quan, but he has more experience than Wan Quan.

A simple comparison is that Wan Quan worked on a project like 929 for two years. Although there were other projects running simultaneously during this period, the time he was qualified to work on the project was actually only a few years. When Jiang Yuan was as young as he was, he didn't even have the opportunity to join the task force.

Wan Quan was affected by Jiang Yuan's mood and felt relieved all of a sudden. He quickly caught up with the situation and said, "The list of anonymous people has been sorted out, but the list of missing persons you want has not been made yet..."

Wan Quan said this and looked at Hang Haichuan.

"Oh, it's done." Hang Haichuan looked at the mantis shrimp in his pot, quickly fished it out, and then put down his chopsticks and said, "Director Jiang, Vanke, let's be frank. The scope of the missing persons list you want is too large. If you limit it to a certain smuggling group, we can find a way to mobilize special information and come up with a list of missing persons. But if you talk about all the smuggling groups, it's really too difficult. We can't mobilize all the special information, don't you think?"

Wan Quan was at a loss for words for a moment. To some extent, he agreed with what Hang Haichuan said. Special information was relatively rare. It was okay to use it occasionally for a case, but it would be a waste to mobilize all of them for screening.

Jiang Yuan didn't have similar feelings, but his solution to the problem was always based on his own ability. Seeing that Hang Haichuan had concerns, he didn't pursue it and changed his angle and said, "What if we don't use special information? Do we know much about the smuggling group now?"

"Well...if you are talking about large smuggling groups, the intelligence department must have some information about them. But when it comes to smaller smuggling groups, it's not certain. Moreover, smuggling groups will also split and reorganize. It was more obvious when there were ships in the past. Wherever the captain took the ship was the owner of the group, and they would change owners from time to time. Now, smugglers may not even have ships, and it's hard for us to say that we can control all these small and fragmented smuggling gangs." Hang Haichuan focused more on explaining the current situation.

Without taking the lead in the case, Hang Haichuan's enthusiasm was obviously reduced.

Jiang Yuan could only nod. He didn't know much about the smuggling group. If Wan Quan didn't object, he could only agree with what Hang Haichuan said.

At this time, Wang Chuanxing suddenly stood up and whispered, "I'm going to pick someone up."

He walked out of the box quickly, and a minute later, he came in with Liu Jinghui.

"Are you on vacation over?" Jiang Yuan smiled when he saw Liu Jinghui.

"My wife got tired of me and kicked me out." Liu Jinghui's face was also full of smiles. He turned around and changed the subject: "I heard that you are discussing the screening list?"

Wan Quan was startled and said quickly, "It's a screening list, not an investigation. It's just a small investigation at most."

Liu Jinghui laughed: "You are investigating the smuggling group, right? That's quite interesting. Are you stuck on the number of special agents?"

"Director Liu." Hang Haichuan greeted him and said something similar, then said, "Actually, I shouldn't be the one saying this. I'm in charge of investigations, and special information is managed by the Intelligence Department. That's how it is."

"We don't actually need accurate intelligence." Liu Jinghui interrupted Hang Haichuan.

Hang Haichuan was stunned: "If we investigate..."

Liu Jinghui waved his hand, took Wang Chuanxing's hot pot seat, changed the hot pot and tableware, and casually put a few pieces of fish and snail meat into the pot, saying: "We are all veteran policemen. Let's say, a person is killed or missing in the smuggling group. What accurate information can we get? How many people can see it? Isn't it all hearsay?"

Hang Haichuan: "If you say so..."

"Some of the legends on the sea are outrageous and false, while others are outrageous and true. It is indeed not enough to rely on rumors alone, but we have two screening measures here, and most importantly, we have the blood of the victims. Therefore, we only need to collect intelligence, true or false, and there is no need for special information to guarantee it." Liu Jinghui paused and said, "We don't even need special information."

Wan Quan suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Hang Haichuan, and couldn't help but say, "That's right, as long as the periphery is enough, especially for news of personnel changes like this, marginal members may be more sensitive."

"Well...if it's just an uncertain list, I'll have someone collect it now." Hang Haichuan had no more reason to refuse.

"Now. We'll try to use it tomorrow morning." Liu Jinghui put down his chopsticks, turned around and said to Jiang Yuan, "According to the current progress, the Y chromosome identification report will be out tonight, and the family identification report will be two days later. It is said that this is even slower. However, we have the list of anonymous people and the list of missing people that Hang Ke will give us tomorrow morning. I think we can arrest a group of people first and see."

"Just arrest people?" Hang Haichuan didn't care about Liu Jinghui's arrangement and said hurriedly, "If we arrest people indiscriminately, the situation will be chaotic."

"We only have a chance if the other party gets nervous, right?" Liu Jinghui was very interested in the list screening and ate several pieces of fish in one breath.
