noon.
Although Tang Baiqing was not handcuffed or locked in an iron cage in the interrogation room of the Inspection Bureau, his mobile phone, ID and other personal belongings were all searched and taken away. In addition, the person interrogating him installed two sets of law enforcement video cameras in the room and strictly followed the interrogation regulations, sending a recorder, a main interrogator, and an interrogator to interrogate Tang Baiqing.
This posture is very formal. Almost all the cadres who were dismissed from their posts faced such interrogation before being detained.
It would be absolutely nonsense for Tang Baiqing to say that he was not nervous at this moment.
In the dim interrogation room, the chief interrogator looked at Tang Baiqing expressionlessly: "From now on, you have to answer whatever I ask you. You must answer the questions directly. You cannot evade them. You don't need to explain. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Tang Baiqing nodded.
"What time did you enter the port on the day of the incident?"
"According to regulations, I entered the port at 4:30 p.m."
"Okay, after you entered the port, when did you board the Coast Guard patrol ship?"
"At eight o'clock in the evening, after the person on duty came back, I and other team members boarded the patrol ship." Tang Baiqing replied with sweat on his forehead.
"I've looked at your internal shift schedule. On the day of the incident, the captain on duty should have been Huang Zhicheng. Why did he switch shifts with you that day? Was it you who proposed it, or was it him?" the interrogator asked again.
Tang Baiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I took the initiative to propose it. I had something to do today, so I wanted to take a day off."
"Your entire team has been rotated, which means that, except for you, all other Coast Guard officers in your team have also been reassigned." The interrogator frowned and continued, "You have something to do today, do all the members of your team have something to do too?"
Tang Baiqing clenched his palms: "… The night patrol of the Coast Guard requires very detailed divisions. I am not familiar with Lao Huang's people, and we don't have much tacit understanding, so the whole team was reshuffled. This is convenient for work, and it is not uncommon in the Coast Guard department."
"Are you sure you didn't deliberately change your shift and have no other purpose?"
"No!"
"Why do you repeatedly avoid patrol area No. 4 when patrolling? A smuggling fishing boat that was visible to the naked eye entered the port from the front, but you didn't notice it at all in advance? How did you divide the patrol areas? Have you ever considered that your patrol plan has loopholes?" the interrogator was aggressive.
Tang Baiqing was mentally prepared before coming, but facing the auditors' constant questioning, he felt a little flustered.
Even the most brilliant lies would have loopholes, not to mention that Tang Baiqing was facing professional inspectors. These people may have dealt with even department-level cadres and inspector-general cadres before, so how could they be helpless against Tang Baiqing
After more than 20 minutes of interrogation, Tang Baiqing's clothes were soaked with sweat.
…
At around 3:00 p.m., Tang Baiqing was temporarily released by the inspection department, but they asked him to sign a notice prohibiting him from leaving Longcheng in the near future and to accept summons at any time.
After leaving the Inspection Office, Tang Baiqing immediately returned to his unit and found the captain of the Coast Guard squadron who was his superior.
In the office, Tang Baiqing closed the door and whispered to the bald squadron leader, "Damn, the people from the Inspection Office dragged me over for questioning and asked me to sign a notice that I cannot leave Longcheng in the near future. Old Wang, I think this matter is a bit serious."
The squadron leader looked up and glanced at him, his face gloomy and he said nothing.
"My idea is this. Can we let the people from the code gang insist that the gold bricks on the ship were put there by another group of gangsters? This is a frame-up and we want them to only admit that they smuggled ordinary goods?" Tang Baiqing asked.
"You don't have a brain?!" The squadron leader frowned and replied, "How did the criminals transport nearly 400 kilograms of gold bars to the fishing boat in just a few minutes? How do you explain the fingerprints?! Also, if the criminals left video footage at the scene, let's say, once they publish it on any platform, the Coast Guard will be hammered to death immediately, and the matter will become even bigger!"
Tang Baiqing pondered for a while, and continued impatiently: "How about this? I'll call the people from the code gang and ask them to push Feng Hai out to take the blame, saying that he colluded with some of our coast guards to secretly carry out smuggling. This will get us out of the way, and the case will be over if we get them."
"Are you still thinking about getting yourself out of this?" the squadron leader asked in disbelief.
"What else?!" Tang Baiqing asked back.
The squadron leader gritted his teeth and stood up, took out two notices from his desk, stuffed them directly into Tang Baiqing's arms and shouted: "You still think you can avoid being implicated, are you sleepwalking?! Damn it, you and I have to stand up and take responsibility, do you understand?!"
Tang Baiqing looked down and saw two notices in his hand. One was a notice ordering him and the squadron leader to suspend their duties for review. This order was issued directly by the Coast Guard.
Tang Baiqing was confused: "What do you mean?"
"Let's not talk about whether you colluded with the port gang to smuggle and sell calves. Just the fact that the smuggling ship blatantly entered the inner harbor and rushed into the estuary, you and I are both suspected of dereliction of duty! What do you do for a living? You are a coast guard! The ship came in, and you didn't react at all. How can this be justified?" The squadron leader also roared with an explosive mentality: "Nearly 400 kilograms of gold bars, how big a deal is this? Your father is in trouble, you can't let it get into trouble!"
Tang Baiqing looked at the notice ordering him to suspend his duties, and his blood rushed to his head, and the negative emotions in his heart continued to rise.
Ever since he accidentally killed that woman, Tang Baiqing has never had a smooth life!
…
Longkou, inside the headquarters of the Ma Gang.
Wei Xiangzuo sat next to the old man who was nearly sixty years old, with his head lowered and without saying a word.
Xu Hu walked in from outside, first burned incense in front of Guan Erye, and then respectfully called out to the old man, "Master!"
"I only imported 300 kilograms of goods, why did it turn out to be nearly 400 kilograms in the end?" the old man asked.
Xu Hu lowered his head and did not reply for a while.
…
At around eight o'clock in the evening, there was a gentle breeze and bright stars on Guangji Island.
A group of young people were sitting on mats around a bonfire, having a party.
"I was the last one to climb the mountain today. I don't have much to say." Bai Hongbo drank a lot. He held the microphone connected to the computer, waved his hand and shouted, "Let me sing a song for everyone!"
"As stupid as a pig!" The baby pouted and cursed in a very speechless manner: "Others have already reached the mountain, and we have just reached the foot of the mountain."
"Please invite Ms. Doll to dance!" Su Tianyu shouted.
Wawa stood up reluctantly, took out a pipe from his small box, immediately adjusted his mood, stood beside Bai Hongbo and said: "I'm not good at dancing, forget it, I'll play the flute for everyone."
"…!" Bai Hongbo was a little jealous when he heard this: "I personally suggest that you play a solo for me in the evening."
"Get lost!" the baby cursed, waving his hands and shouting, "Brothers and sisters, cheer up!"
…
Somewhere in Area 1, two off-road vehicles with the Warhammer logo printed on them passed the checkpoint and immediately headed towards Dragon City.
In the car, a black brother frowned and cursed: "The code gang is a bunch of idiots. We almost used a nuclear aircraft carrier to escort them... but the cargo still got into trouble... I simply can't understand it."
