Binjiang Police Affa Chapter 313 - 222 Familiar Routine3

Chapter 313: Chapter 222 Familiar Routine_3

Han Yu did not expect them to bribe so blatantly. He pushed away the fat man’s hand and said coldly, "What kind of people do you think we are? Put the money back!"

"Bro, we’re just playing a few hands, no need to take it so seriously."

"Just playing a few hands? Is this how you play, and on a boat at that? This is Bin Qi River, do you think this is international waters, or have you watched too many Hong Kong movies?"

While speaking, 004 caught up.

Yuan Peng climbed onto the iron ship and handed over Han Yu’s briefcase.

Under Ma Jintao’s scolding, the boat’s driver steered the boat to the riverbank and set up a gangplank. Yang Yong and Luo Wenjiang parked their motorcycles, ran down to the riverbank, and boarded the ship along the gangplank.

Seeing more than a dozen people gathered around gambling, and the amount of money on the table, Yang Yong and Luo Wenjiang were beyond excited.

Han Yu pulled out a chair, took out paper and pen, and asked Luo Wenjiang to sit down to keep accounts, then signaled Yang Yong and Dong Bangjun to count the money, with Ma Jintao and Yuan Peng on guard duty.

"Not saying who organized this, huh? Then let’s start by settling so accounts."

Han Yu pushed the man wearing a big gold chain into a corner, and while frisking him, he asked, "What’s your na, where are you from?"

"Xu Haijun, a local."

"Whose boat is this?"

"A friend’s."

"Which friend?"

"The friend who’s piloting the boat."

"Did you lose or win?"

"I won a bit."

"How much did you win?"

"Five or six thousand, I didn’t count exactly."

"How much capital did you bring?"

"Four thousand five hundred."

...

This was a bona fide gambling boat; anyone brought aboard was brought for gambling capital.

Aside from three female gamblers, the rest were thoroughly searched while being interrogated to clarify how much capital they brought and approximately how much they won or lost.

Luo Wenjiang kept the records and did the calculations; after half an hour of inventory, the accounts and seized money finally matched.

A total of one hundred twenty-six thousand three hundred twenty yuan was seized; the one who brought the most capital brought twenty-one thousand, the one who won the most had already won fourteen thousand, and the one who lost the most lost eight thousand three hundred, and after running out of cash, borrowed another five thousand from another gambler.

As for the gambling thod, they explained it was called "Two-Eight Gang," a new ga from across the river.

Those with more money could be the dealer, and those with less could place bets.

Han Yu had them demonstrate the ga several tis on the spot, finally understanding the rules.

It’s worth ntioning that each one of them had a history of gambling and had been previously handled by the Division Zone Branch and earlier by the Binjiang County Public Security Bureau.

It was a considerable haul; they took everything including the boat and the people back to the squad.

Sumr is the peak season for chemical leaks or even explosions—with several chemical docks located along the jurisdiction’s coastline, Jia Yongqiang and Zhang Bigong, following superior orders, were busy inspecting firefighting safety at every dock, and rushed back to the squad as soon as they received the news.

Seeing a large bag of gambling funds, Jia Yongqiang was astonished.

"Captain Yu, did you find this boat suspicious just because the external air conditioning unit was large?"

"Yes."

"Eyes of Golden Fla indeed!"

"What Eyes of Golden Fla? I grew up on a boat, I can pilot and repair boats, and we even had air conditioning installed on our family boat. The Dunships in our station, and the 001 even had air conditioning installed earlier. I know quite well what type of air conditioning suits what type of boats."

"Indeed, every profession has its own secrets."

Jia Yongqiang sighed and pointed at the phone, saying with a smile, "Director Peng always criticizes us for pretending to be too noble and not empathizing with the hardships of the Police Bureau. Now we’ve managed to prove ourselves quickly. You should call Director Peng right away to report, he’ll definitely be pleased."

Han Yu raised his arm to check his watch, "Uncle Jia, you report to the Bureau, I’ll hand over all these gambling funds and the gamblers detained to you."

"You have other matters?"

"I’m going with Director Zhang to Si Gang tomorrow to catch soone, and I’ve already reported to Captain Zhao. Ningning’s hotown is in Si Gang, isn’t it? I’m planning to bring so stuff back there, so I’m thinking of leaving work early and heading back to Binjiang with Ningning first."

"No rush at this mont, reporting to Director Peng won’t take long, and when you head back to Binjiang later, you can hand over the gambling funds to the bureau."

"Uncle Jia, you make the report. You’ve taken so much criticism because of , it’s ti for you to stand proud."

This kid is just like his master, not fond of dealing with leaders.

He has the backing of President Yu and Political Commissioner Wang, otherwise, any other squad leader would have been reassigned by Director Peng long ago.

Jia Yongqiang sighed internally, only able to smile and say, "Alright, you go back early, I’ll report to Director Peng."

"Thanks, Uncle Jia."

Han Yu smirked and walked to the door, then turned back and said, "Right, they shouldn’t cut from what we’re due back. We’ve already been criticized so many tis for not eting revenue targets in the past, the Bureau can’t deduct from our returns again, just as ’one can’t be punished for the sa fault twice’ implies."

Jia Yongqiang felt troubled and said with a wry smile, "I really can’t bargain with the Bureau leaders, Captain Yu, maybe you should report after all."

"No need to bargain, just calculate the accounts, keep what should be proportionally returned to us, and hand over the rest to the Bureau."

"Isn’t that essentially sitting and profiting without effort?"

"Sitting and profiting isn’t just us, the Bureau does the sa. It’s only fair not to allow officials certain liberties while denying citizens similar ones."

Han Yu smiled, then casually added, "Keep aside the next three months’ salaries for Old Huang, Li Xiaohai, and Yuan Peng, and also set aside two thousand as operational funds. Spend the rest at the gas station in exchange for oil tickets. Spend it all to keep the Bureau from having any concerns."

Decide now, report later; spend first, then declare.

Truly the apprentice of Xu Sanye, learning his tricks well.

Jia Yongqiang was thoroughly convinced, helplessly smiling, "Alright, since you’re ready to bear the brunt."

...

The Fourth Squad finally opened business.

Director Peng was initially happy to receive the report, yet could not maintain his happiness after hearing that the confiscated gambling funds, over twenty thousand, had already been spent by Salted Fish.

Zhao Hongxing heard the news and rushed over, seeing the Director with a grim face, unsure of what to say.

Political Commissioner Wang, finding Salted Fish’s thods all too familiar, offered a cigarette with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Director Peng, Salted Fish is also doing it for work. The 001 is an oil guzzler, he feels uneasy without a reserve."

Regaining his composure, Zhao Hongxing hurriedly said, "Director Peng, this squad leader has only been appointed for half a year, and Director Zhang won’t last much longer, he’ll be back next year."

Salted Fish is capable, but too heavily influenced by Xu Sanye, not considering the bigger picture.

Director Peng was silent for a mont, sighing lightly, "It’s not that I have sothing against him, but if he keeps doing this, everyone will start to follow suit and how will the Bureau function?"

Political Commissioner Wang looked up and said, "I know, I’ll have a serious talk with him later."

Director Peng lit a cigarette, continuing, "Also, after the dissolution of Yanjiang Police Station and its demotion to a squad, the Linghai Police Bureau plans on us taking over managent, please discuss this again with Director Yang and Commissioner Ding. With unclear lines of authority, it’s inappropriate for us to manage."

The Director clearly had trouble managing Salted Fish, thus he didn’t want to take on the managent responsibility.

Political Commissioner Wang didn’t expect things to turn out this way, could only respond with a forced laugh, "Alright, I’ll discuss with Director Yang."
