Chapter 11 Section 11 Secret investigation of Xiamen customs area

Accompanied by Jie Peiyong, Fu and Li came to the ship management department on July 7.Section Chief Wu Yubo (who was later found out to be an accomplice of Lai's smuggling group) introduced the strict supervision and operation procedures of the Ship Management Division.Fu and Li discussed afterwards that with such supervision, even if an undeclared fish passes through, it may be caught. To find out whether the oil tanker has entered the declaration and whether the imported goods have been declared at the customs, the key point is to check the ship's declaration data, ship manifest and cargo declaration data in the customs database.The paper data of the first two items are in the ship management department, and the electronic data of the last three items are in the technical department.The investigation targets of the investigators were locked on the five ships, including Ruby and Sapphire, which had been confirmed by China Foreign Affairs Agency and the Shanghai office of "Stuerte" to carry oil into the country and berth at the Xiamen port.When they left Beijing, the chapter bureau specifically told Fu and Li that they were not allowed to bring a single page of paper, let alone a notebook into Xiamen.The name of the ship is memorized.The seized materials are not required to be copied, nor are they allowed to be recorded.Therefore, their basic tool is the human brain.

The Ship Management Division retrieved the Xiamen port ship entry and exit registration forms for May and June 1998 for Fu and Li.The 15 neatly bound books recorded the information of 679 ships, but the information of the 5 ships to be investigated was not found.The exact time of entry and exit of these five ships is within these two months. On the second day, the investigators came to the Technical Department, and checked the pre-declaration library for incoming and outgoing ships on the computer (ships on international voyages entering China must make a pre-declaration to the shipping agency at the port of arrival within 72 hours, and report to the shipping agency within 24 hours. Such as the name of the ship, port, tonnage, cargo manifest, planned departure date, etc., the shipping agent will report the above information to the customs and other joint inspection 4 units) and find the information of the 5 ships in the electronic manifest database.The time began on April 15, 1998, and the electronic screen flashed page by page.Fu and Li stared intently at the constantly flipping screen.Turning to the page of May 3, 1998, the ship name column appeared: "Redshappnine" (Ruby) a string of English letters. Although there was no other content, Fu and Li's heartbeats still accelerated obviously, and the fox's tail finally exposed.However, they remained silent on the surface, and continued to scroll down until July 15th. A total of 901 voyages and 88 ships' pre-declaration materials were searched, but nothing was found!

Fu and Li concluded that the appearance of the "Ruby" ship in the pre-declaration library was entirely due to a negligence left by the smugglers in the outbound link, or that the "Ruby" telexed the pre-declaration materials to the outbound party. The person happened not to be bought by the smugglers. He faithfully entered the telex content of the "Ruby" pre-declaration into the computer according to the normal procedures. Once the data was generated, it could not be changed or deleted, and it was transmitted to the customs through the network. electronic database.

The omission of the smugglers was not overlooked by the investigators.The hunter's eyes caught the trace of the prey at once. Re-adjustment of the data in the manifest and cargo declaration import database, the time period is the same, and thousands of screens have been turned over, but there is no information on "Ruby" and the other four ships.Fu and Li are sure that the imported vegetable oil contained in "Ruby" has not been declared to the customs.The conclusion that this ship of vegetable oil smuggled through customs has been established. However, they went to the Ship Management Division very cautiously and reviewed a total of 1,400 import paper manifests from March 24 to July 31, 1998.After careful searching, there was no trace of "Ruby".

After 3 days of searching repeatedly, they returned to Beijing. A detailed investigation report was placed before the leader of the task force, and the conclusion was: the fact that vegetable oil smuggling existed in Xiamen was confirmed! The secret investigation and evidence collection of the task force's initial plan was successful! The task force reported the results of the secret investigation, and the senior leaders took a reassurance and instructed: Continue to attack according to the breakthrough plan, and we must tear apart the shady smuggling scene in Xiamen as soon as possible!
