Chapter 41 Section 41 Testimony and Documentary Evidence

The comprehensive breakthrough of Zhongya Shipping Company has broadened the thinking of investigators to investigate and collect evidence: Although Lai Changxing Group carried out organized and planned criminal activities of destroying smuggling evidence, it was limited to the Xiamen area and was a unit and department with common interests .Outside the Xiamen area, traces of smuggling activities should be relatively intact. For this reason, while breaking through Central Asia, the investigators sent two groups of people to Fuzhou and Shenzhen to investigate and collect evidence. Fuzhou all the way is mainly to obtain evidence of the fake export of the "Haifengshan" ship.The ship's owner is the Fujian Provincial Shipping Corporation.The Fujian Steamship Corporation provided the "Daily Report on Vessel and Voyage Dynamics" and the "Summary of Production Performance" reflecting the voyage and loading status of the ship reported to the head office by the Haifengshan 9702X voyage.These two reports clearly record the export data of the voyage carrying empty containers from Xiamen Port.The investigators found the captain Shao and the chief mate Wu of the voyage, both of whom confirmed the fact that the containers loaded on board were empty.

The whole journey in Shenzhen was mainly to find the whereabouts of the Tongxing ship at that time, and prepare to board the ship for inspection.The owner of Tongxing Ship is Yantai Salvage Bureau, which was chartered by Shenzhen Tonghai Company for a long time. During this period, several voyages were chartered to Zhongya, and Zhongya was sub-leased to Futian. When the investigators arrived in Shenzhen, they learned that the Tongxing ship would berth in Fangchenggang, so they rushed to Fangcheng.Since none of the captains and chief mates who sailed between 1996 and 1998 were on duty, and the materials handed over on board were not useful, the investigators had to re-examine them in person.Searched every corner of the ship, and finally copied out valuable information in 3 of the 6 storage rooms: the tally list of Pusan ​​Port in South Korea for the two voyages of Tongxing Ship 9612 and 9706N; The work notebook contains the departure time of 7 voyages and the actual situation of loading and unloading cargo. Among them, 6 voyages clearly recorded that empty containers were unloaded in Busan, while the 9606N voyage recorded that heavy containers were unloaded, but there were correction fluids. Obvious traces of subsequent re-recordings; two voyages in the logbook record that empty boxes were unloaded.It should be said that the trip was very fruitful, at least I got written evidence that the Tongxing ship unloaded empty containers in Pusan ​​and Naha ports during a total of 10 voyages.

In mid-November, investigators flew to Yantai, found 2 captains and 3 chief mates who were involved in smuggling between 1996 and 1998, and brought them back to Xiamen, asking them to review the export manifests, cargo manifests and Tally and other documents for confirmation.The result of their confirmation is: Among the 16 voyage documents of the Tongxing ship that exported cigarettes from Xiamen, except for the signatures of Mr. Liang, the first officer of 9707N and 9712N, the signatures of the rest are all fake signatures.Zhang Fumin, a tallyman at Tongyi Wharf, confirmed that the counterfeit signature was done by Chen Bin, the office of Futian Shipping in Xiamen. The fake signatures on the 9707N and 9712N documents were discovered by Liang Yu by accident, and Chen Bin spent thousands of yuan to bribe Liang to sign with his real name.No, this becomes a record of participation in a crime.

What happened to the record of the 9606N voyage on Liang's notebook being changed to a heavy cabinet?It turned out that on the Tongxing ship, Futian Shipping had stationed a Taiwanese retired old ship Changjiang as the shipping supervisor.During the 9606N voyage, Jiang discovered that Liang had recorded the loading of empty containers at the Xiamen port. Some of them lured Liang and bought the conscience of a chief mate for only 1,000 yuan. Liang first used correction fluid to erase the original record. Due to the situation, the words on the heavy cabinet were rewritten.And because of Jiang's supervision, several voyages were falsely recorded in the logbook about the loading and unloading of heavy containers.However, some chief mates neither wanted to violate their conscience nor dared to offend Jiang, so they simply did not remember the contents of loading and unloading.There were two voyages where the unloading of empty containers at the transit ports Naha and Hong Kong was recorded objectively.

The veteran captain Yang recalled that after the voyage of his rotating captain was over, he had to make a "so-and-so voyage end report", which contained real records of oil volume, loading and unloading, and was mainly used to settle expenses with Central Asia.At 12 o'clock that night, the investigators searched the Central Asia Representative Office in Xiamen again, and finally obtained the "voyage end report" of voyages 9702X, 9704N, 9705N, and 9706N4, which confirmed that the 4 voyages loaded empty containers on board in Xiamen, and unloaded empty containers and disembarked in Busan. fact.
