Chapter 10 Section 10 Outer Reconnaissance

In late June, Zhang Ju flew from Xiamen to Shanghai, and Fu Chu was with him.The purpose of this trip is clear: through the Shanghai office of the shipping company "Stuerte" of "Ruby" and "Sapphire", to search the track of the inbound ships in the territory, to check the evidence of vegetable oil entering Xiamen port, and to communicate with the Chinese foreign representative The "yes" in the computer database corroborate each other. Lao Zhang from Shanghai Customs, a member of the task force, has been ordered to return to Shanghai from Beijing.In order to prevent surprises, Zhang Guosheng arranged for the Shanghai Customs Supervision Office to come forward and hold a symposium for all the offices of Chinese and foreign shipping companies stationed in Shanghai to discuss the requirements for customs supervision of the establishment of Shanghai International Shipping Center.

"Stuart" is the name of an internationally well-known shipping company with its headquarter in the United States, its branch in Norway, its Asian headquarters in Singapore, and its Chinese representative office in Shanghai.Mr. Qiu attended the symposium on behalf of the Shanghai office of "Stuerte". When Fu asked Qiu to provide a list of the company's ships entering and leaving China since 1996, Qiu showed embarrassment and explained: "The provision of ship lists and other information requires the approval of the chief representative in Shanghai, and it is difficult for me to decide. "

The next day, Lao Zhang and Xiao Wu from the Ship Supervision Office of Shanghai Customs directly visited the Shanghai office of "Stuerte", showed the customs investigation certificate, and put pressure on Qiu: "Your company's ships entering and leaving Chinese ports must If you declare to the Chinese customs, the information is not confidential. If you do not cooperate, it will make the customs suspicious: Are there any incoming ships that have not declared?" Mr. Qiu quickly shook his head and denied: "This is impossible!" Then he said that he could provide a list of incoming ships.There are 104 ships listed on the list, some of which are owned by "Stuerte"'s own company, and some are borrowed from their company. The text of the information is in English.

Lao Zhang asked people to translate the materials and telex them to Beijing. There was a response from Beijing very quickly. There were many ships on the list, including the "Red and Sapphire" and the "Sea Fishing Eagle", all of which were smuggled oil tankers mentioned in the report letter. The Zhang Bureau took Fu Chu to fly back to Beijing, and he instructed Lao Zhang in Shanghai to go to the office again to find out the situation of the 104 ships arriving at the port, the cargo on board, and the date of departure.But Qiu pushed the "ball" to the chief representative again. However, in order to show his sincerity in cooperating with the customs, he told Lao Zhang: "The chief representative will return to Shanghai in two days."

Two days later, Lao Zhang and Xiao Wu visited the chief representative and clarified the purpose of their visit. The chief representative was very straightforward and asked the shipping department of the office to fully cooperate.Lao Zhang finally retrieved the relevant information stamped with the red seal of the "Stuerte" Office in Shanghai. Among them, in 1997 and 1998, 5 ships carrying vegetable oil entered Xiamen Port and left empty.So far, the traces of vegetable oil smuggling have not only been confirmed, but also the information has been very specific. The bottom line of "Situ Erte" will be found out soon!

To confirm the establishment of vegetable oil smuggling through the customs, it is necessary to rule out the possibility that the original declaration content was lost due to obstacles in the network transmission between the computer of Xiamen Customs and the computer of the General Administration.You can go to Xiamen Customs to check. At that time, it was tantamount to "entering the tiger's den to steal the tiger's cubs", and it was easy to scare the snake. But every move of the task force at that time can be said to be under the control of Lai Changxing. In order for the undercover investigation to proceed smoothly, Zhang Guosheng raised doubts and specially summoned Peiyong, the deputy head of the Xiamen Customs who was in charge of the investigation work at the time, to the General Administration, and explained the task to him: There was a case of a certain customs in the Mainland where the goods entered the country through the Xiamen port. , the customs has detained the smuggled goods.Now the General Administration and the Customs jointly send personnel to Xiamen Customs to investigate the import declaration of this batch of goods.Due to the seriousness of the case, it is hoped that Pei Yong will coordinate in an all-round way to prevent bickering and buck-passing, which will cause obstacles to the investigation of the case.Zhang asked not to ask the investigators about any evidence collection in the case, nor to inform the relevant party group.When the case becomes clear, Zhang himself will explain it to Chief Yang Qianxian.Yang Qianxian and Lai Changxing soon learned that the General Administration had sent investigators.Lai was full of suspicions, and secretly sent personnel to monitor every move of the investigators.
