The group walked straight over.
Guan Feng saw a long dike, about five or six meters above the water.
There are ladders on the long dike that lead down to the water.
There are iron stakes beside the water.
For use in securing ship cables.
There are many ships docked on it.
It spreads outwards along the long dike.
Guan Feng counted them.
Each row can accommodate four ships.
There are five rows in total, meaning that a lock can accommodate a total of twenty ships at a time.
Zhao Dong asked, "Which ship did Xia Ping take?"
Zhang said, "Next trip! Each trip takes about thirty minutes, and it will take about forty minutes for his ship to get in."
Zhao Dong asked, "Based on your intuition, when is the best time to make the arrest?"
Zhang shook his head and said, "How would I know? I'm not a professional at arrests. You'll have to handle this."
Zhao Dong then changed his question: "We need three people to board the ship to carry out the arrest. From which point on board will we be able to avoid arousing his suspicion?"
Zhang said, "That's easy! It's right here! Our people will also board the ship for inspection, but you need to be careful about one thing: there can't be just one person on board. Nowadays, shipping requires two people, and the driver's license and the engine room license are used together!"
Zhao Dong and Guan Feng exchanged a glance, both seemingly seeing a blind spot in each other's eyes.
Guan Feng, naturally not wanting the branch captain to question him and appear ignorant, stepped forward and asked, "Chief Zhang, are you sure about the two people you just mentioned?"
Zhang affirmed, "Yes, nowadays the emphasis is on combining ship licenses and permits. It can be done in a few days, but in the long run, two people will definitely be needed, otherwise it will be unacceptable during an inspection."
Guan Feng said, "Thank you for the reminder, Director Zhang. So, how many people usually boarding a ship won't attract attention?"
Zhang said, "Usually there are two or three people! That's how we conduct our inspections too."
Guan Feng then discussed with Captain Zhao, "Captain, we're not sure if the other person is an accomplice. Should we set up a three-way surveillance? Or should three people board the ship? I'll take care of Xia Ping, and the other two will take care of the other person!"
"Also, Director Zhang, I see you still have some of your boats over there, right? I'd like to send two people to that boat in case they try to escape by water. The rest of you can stay on the shore!"
"Finally, we need your cooperation, Director Zhang. Can you think of a way to arrange for the next batch of boats to dock separately on this dike, in case he jumps onto another boat and escapes?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang said, "Is that so? Then I'll see if it's feasible to arrange it, and I'll do my best to arrange it."
Zhao Dong said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Director Zhang!"
Zhang shook his head and said, "Cooperating with your police operations, isn't that our duty?"
......
Next.
All forces are now in position.
Preliminary confirmation!
Guan Feng!
Zhao Dong!
Zhao Yang!
Three people boarded the boat to carry out the arrest.
Guan Feng's skills are beyond question; he's the police force's strongest man in the entire station. He insisted on getting on this boat no matter what, and he's also the main force in capturing Xia Ping.
As the head of the criminal investigation branch, Zhao Dong is older and his physical skills may have declined, but his marksmanship is second to none in the bureau.
As for Zhao Yang?
This "young man," who had just turned thirty, was known for his fighting skills at the Development Zone Branch.
He's not as good as Guan Feng, but he's already the second best fighter on the field.
The three changed into the lock management office uniforms and followed Director Zhang to the white inspection boat.
Zhang explained, "We will board the ship later and check whether the ship's license matches the vessel's registration. That will be the best time for you to make your arrests."
Guan Feng asked, "Xia Ping's boat?"
Zhang said, "I have tried my best to arrange it for him, but it is not easy for the boat to dock alone. The arrangement is to dock in the last row, with two boats docking. If we try to do it any further, it may backfire."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Two ships are enough!"
They all patiently waited for their prey to appear.
Ten minutes later.
As this wave of ships entered the lock.
A new batch of boats began to slowly sail across the lake.
Guan Feng instantly activated the smart glasses function.
Their attention was mainly focused on the Jiangnan-798 ship that Zhang had reported.
A moment later.
He saw a person sitting in the cockpit.
You can't see the whole picture, but you can still see the face clearly.
He said to Zhao Dong, "Squad leader, there's a man in the cockpit who looks very similar to Zhou Yang, the engine room license holder. It should be him!"
Zhao Dong was somewhat surprised by Guan Feng's eyesight and asked, "You can see from this far away?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any major problems."
Zhao Dong said, "Then Zhao Yang and I will be in charge of the cockpit later. Xiao Guan, keep an eye on Xia Ping's movements."
Guan Feng nodded.
His gaze never left the ship.
However, when the ship docked at the entrance dam, Xia Ping was nowhere to be found.
We can't wait any longer!
The group had no choice but to bite the bullet and board the ship for inspection.
Two inspection boats!
One ship inspects from the front, and the other from the rear.
Guan Feng and his team began their inspection of the last vessel. Following Guan Feng's instructions, the inspection vessel docked directly in the aft cabin.
Guan Feng pretended to be inspecting something before entering the room.
Squeak!
The rear hatch was pushed open.
The interior layout resembles that of a commercial apartment.
That should be the bedroom.
That should be the kitchen.
Guan Feng walked in, and at the same time, his bone conduction function was activated.
A moment later.
The sound coming from behind made him somewhat alert.
They crept over without making a sound.
A face that bore a slight resemblance to Xia Ping, but looked more like Zhou Zhong, appeared before them.
Guan Feng immediately asked, "Where are your identification documents?"
