A few days later, the results of the unit’s coordinated investigation and filing were handed over to the case handlers: Xiamen Municipal Health and Quarantine Bureau checked the “ships and voyages carrying cigarettes for export” and found that more than 20 ships had no exit records for 53 voyages.However, the issued explanatory materials stated that there are at least two reasons for the lack of exit records: one is that when the first stop of the inbound ship is not Xiamen Port, there is no need to declare when the second stop arrives at Xiamen Port; There is no need to declare when the station is not leaving the country; the second is that before October 1996, the national regulations stipulated that only the entry declaration documents should be kept, and there was no clear regulation on the exit declaration, so I regret that the exit documents cannot be provided.

According to the records of the Navigation Supervision Office, Ship Supervision Office, and Vessel Visa Register, the Harbor Supervision Department compiled the three-year "Export Vessel Name List" and the "Cigarette Export Vessel and Voyage List" provided by the task force. 8 ships and 17 voyages; there are 6 ships with a total of 14 voyages that have objections to the place of destination. The result provided by the foreign agency is that there are no records of more than 20 export ships and 46 voyages in various departments (shipping agency, computer room, freight forwarding).

The border guard also provided the verification results.After one night of computer statistics, the summary results finally came out: there were 14 voyages among the more than 20 export ships that the above four units had no record of leaving the country.Statistics show that these 14 voyages have falsely reported a total of 330,000 cartons of exported cigarettes! The next day, the leader of the private investigation group listened to a detailed report.When the case-handling comrades reported to the health inspection to explain the situation, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and finally he said: "See if you can verify it through other links." Phytocheck.I went to animal and plant inspection to collect evidence, and the results came out three days later: the general declaration forms were found in the departure files for these 14 voyages!

The investigation of false ships and false voyages was ruthlessly declared a failure! The depression of the frustrated investigation made every case handler feel extremely heavy.We decided to check whether the freight is charged according to the empty container from the foreign agency, the shipping agency, and the wharf, and check the hoisting fee bill from the wharf, in order to find out any doubts.The freight bills, collection and payment vouchers, collection notes, freight forwarding commissions, container agents, ship reserve funds, container hoisting fees and other items transferred from the financial documents of these units are all charged by heavy containers.Futian Company operates on a prepaid basis, with monthly or quarterly settlements, and all voyages are mixed together.It seems that these smuggling backbones are very familiar with the management of various management links.When planning every smuggling activity, they have taken into account the establishment of anti-investigation measures in every link.Time is relentless, nearly a month has passed, but the verification has not yet made substantial progress.If there is a harvest, it is stepping on the tail of the fox of Futian Shipping Agency.

It seems that the smugglers will not let the investigators have the good luck of "getting it without any effort".After the efforts to find false voyages failed, the efforts to find loopholes in the charging process were also in vain.The situation forced everyone to sit down, analyze the work situation of the past month, study and determine the next action plan. First of all, everyone realized that the Lai Changxing smuggling group they were facing was not a rabble.Lai rampantly smuggled for three or four years, and worked hard to weave a huge smuggling network on the land of Xiamen.The impatience shown by the investigators in the previous stage and the thought of wanting to win easily were important reasons for the frustration in the initial battle.Therefore, we must be mentally prepared to fight tough battles and gnaw hard bones.

Secondly, after all, the first battle also began to come into contact with the extremely valuable information revealed in the iron curtain of smuggling. These are all related to Tang Zilan, the manager of Hong Kong Futian Shipping's representative office in Xiamen. Why are there so many operating units in entrepot trade, but the container cargo list is all handled by Futian Shipping Representative Office? Why are port charges handled by Futian Shipping Representative Office? Doesn’t this information confirm the authenticity of the content of the report letter, “Most of these so-called re-exported cigarettes are arranged by Tang Zilan, the person in charge of the Xiamen Office of Hong Kong Fortune Shipping Company”?
