At the stern of the fishing boat, more than a dozen coast guards followed the cable into the deck, wearing bulletproof vests and holding guns, and formed two teams to quickly surround the cockpit.
On the steps of the stairs outside the cockpit, there were broken glass all over the floor, which was broken when the coast guards fired. On the deck just in front of the stairs, there were boxes of gold bricks.
The coast guards rushed up the stairs and saw that the cockpit was on fire. The flames were more than one meter high. The flammable seats in the room, the daily necessities used by the pilot and co-pilot, and the folding beds for rest were all on fire.
“Put out the fire! Put out the fire!”
After the leading coast guard officer shouted, everyone immediately smashed open the fireproof box near the cockpit, took the fire extinguisher and water hose, and began to rescue the cockpit.
Downstairs, two coast guards opened the narrow rest cabin and saw Feng Hai and a dozen code gang members inside. They were tied together, with their mouths and noses sealed, so they couldn't shout at all.
When the leading coast guard saw the gang, he immediately shouted on the intercom: "Captain Tang, we found the Ma Gang in the cabin."
Tang Baiqing, who was on his way, felt his head buzzing when he heard this.
Well, the people and goods are all on the ship, so there’s no need to even conduct an investigation. We’ve caught them red-handed and can take the case to court.
"Release Feng Hai and let him deal with the most difficult matter on the ship." Tang Baiqing's reaction was quite quick. He meant to let the coast guard release Feng Hai temporarily and see if the gold bricks could be taken away in the shortest time possible.
The coast guard followed the instructions and untied the ropes of Feng Hai and four others.
…
On the surface of the Longjiang River, several speedboats rushed across the Donglong Bridge and were searching on the water. They wanted to catch Kong Zhenghui and Su Tianyu, but the terrain here became very complicated once they passed the Donglong Bridge. The surrounding area was full of diversion channels and drainage channels built by the water conservancy department. The purpose of these water conservancy buildings was to control the water level.
The surface of the Longjiang River is not narrow. The further inland you go, the wider it becomes. The climate here is tropical, and both sides of the river are lined with lush green trees and forests.
There are drainage channels and drainage canals, as well as countless forests and green spaces on both sides of the river. It's pitch dark here, and once people get ashore or enter the drainage channel, where can the coast guard find them
The robbery was a sudden incident, and those who rushed out of the gate and arrived at the scene were all coast guards on duty in the port. They were totally unprepared, and they were probably still in a half-asleep and half-awake state when they rushed out.
The coast guard searched the river aimlessly for a long time, but in the end they didn't see anything.
In a dense forest on the shore, Su Tianyu was running in front like a big wolfhound, with great physical strength.
"How did you get out?" Kong Zhenghui asked from behind.
"There are coast guards behind me, how can I get out? I have to get out from the lower cabin!" Su Tianyu swung his legs at a speed comparable to that of a track and field champion: "Hurry up, we have to go to another area."
"Okay." Kong Zhenghui's physical fitness was average, but he still gritted his teeth and ran after Su Tianyu.
…
Donglong Bridge.
Tang Baiqing rushed to the scene and boarded the speedboat: "Where's the cargo? Where's the cargo?!"
"It can't be taken away, Captain Tang. There are too many goods, and look at the shore." The leading coast guard replied in a low voice.
Tang Baiqing looked at the shores on both sides and saw at least 30 people standing on the Donglong Bridge to watch the fun. These were all vendors doing business at night in the surrounding streets. They heard the gunshots on the sea that sounded like firecrackers, so they all came to watch the fun. Of course, this was when the coast guard had already taken control of the area, otherwise they wouldn't have been so close, for fear of being hit and bleeding.
In addition to the onlookers watching the excitement on the Donglong Bridge, there were also a large number of people leaning on the windows of the residential buildings on both sides of the shore, looking down and taking pictures with their mobile phones.
Once you enter the mouth of the Longjiang River, there are residential areas on both sides of the shore. With such a big commotion on the sea, it is impossible that no one would pay attention!
Tang Baiqing was so anxious that his face turned pale. He growled, "Let Lao He and the others come over. Even if they have to transport the goods by force, they have to take them away. I will write the report tomorrow."
The coast guard thought about it for a moment, and immediately took out the walkie-talkie to organize people to move the goods, and notified the coast guard on the road to send a car to pick them up.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Just when Tang Baiqing was about to force the gold bricks off the boat, sirens suddenly sounded on the shore. Six police cars drove over from the east and stopped directly at the Donglong Bridge.
When Tang Baiqing saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to do and was exhausted.
More than 20 police officers got out of six police cars. Their uniforms were completely different from those of the coast guard and were obviously from the police station system.
The leading police officer walked to the Donglong Bridge and shouted to the coast guard on the speedboat: "I'm the police chief of Zhanan District. What's going on?"
“… It’s smuggled.” The coast guard replied stiffly.
"Has anyone been pinned down on the boat?" a sergeant from the Zhanan District Police Department asked again, straining his neck.
The coast guard gritted his teeth and said, "There are people. More than ten of them."
"Fuck! This is too rampant. Smugglers are driving the boats up the inland river? What's going on? Is the driver smoking opium?" The police chief of Zannan District was very mean.
The Coast Guard did not respond.
"Brother, once the boat passes Donglong Bridge, we have to get to work." The police officer from Zhanan District bowed his head and shouted again, "Don't move anything on the boat. We have to check the scene!"
Veins bulged on Tang Baiqing's forehead. He picked up the phone and prepared to call his connection at the police station, hoping to ask the Zhanan District Police Chief to let him off the hook and not get involved in the case for the time being.
“Buzz!”
Tang Baiqing had just taken out his phone and hadn't even waited to dial when two media interview cars from Zhannan District stopped directly behind the police car.
After the media staff on the bus pushed the door and got out, they set up their equipment immediately.
"This is Waka News. Just tonight, a fishing boat broke through the barrier and rushed into the Longjiang River estuary in our city. It had a gun battle with the police officers of our city's Coast Guard, and the boat was on fire. OK, now let's interview the police officers of the Coast Guard and ask about the situation..." The host muttered a few words to the camera and walked directly down the stairs.
Tang Baiqing looked at the other person: "M, this must be a Yinmao!"
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Hu's car rushed to the shore. Before he got out of the car, he saw that the media and inland police officers had already blocked the Donglong Bridge.
Xu Hu picked up the phone and called Tang Baiqing: "Hello? Baiqing!"
"I'm not Captain Tang. He's being interviewed. I have the phone."
"What the hell is this? He accepted a few interviews, and he's using this as a publicity stunt?" Xu Hu's mentality exploded on the spot: "Where's the cargo? Did the cargo get lost on the water?"
"No, I was stuck in the boat."
…
In a high-end apartment in the city, an old man in his sixties sat on the bed in his pajamas: "What's going on?! The Coast Guard gets paid so much every year, but they can't even protect such important goods?"
The next morning at around six o'clock, Guangji Island.
An Qiqi was wearing a very tight sportswear and was standing in front of the tent door doing stretching exercises.
Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo, Su Tianbei, and Kong Zhenghui walked back from a distance.
"Where have you been?" An Qiqi asked Su Tianyu.
"Morning exercise!"
"I don't believe you. You left in the middle of the night last night." An Qiqi looked at the other party suspiciously.
"We couldn't sleep at night, so we took a walk." Su Tianyu replied perfunctorily and walked towards Yu Mingyuan's side.
Bai Hongbo followed behind, looking at An Qiqi's suspicious eyes, and whispered: "She seems to have discovered something, why not silence her!"
Not far away, Yu Mingyuan sat under a parasol, having not slept all night, holding only three mobile phones, stabbing his opponents at the port one by one.
