Chapter 1385: Chapter 190: Changhang Bureau’s Calculation_2
Take the Shen-Han route as an example, in 1996 the passenger volume was 2.72 million, but last year it was only over 900,000. It’s said that for the past four years, the average annual loss has exceeded 20 million.
Market value determines the survival space, and survival space determines the fate of Yangtze River cruise navigation.
Han Yu doesn’t know how long Yangtze River Passenger Transport can last, only that once Yangtze River Passenger Transport exits the historical stage, tens of thousands of Changhang employees will lose their jobs.
Why is the Changhang Police Bureau eager to apply to the superior for an administrative transfer like the Marine department? After all, it’s a survival issue. Considering current Changhang Public Security Officers mainly maintain the security of Changhang Passenger Transport. If the cruises cease, what will so many onboard police do, what will so many public security police at passenger terminals do?
It’s no exaggeration to say the upcoming period is the most difficult for Changhang police, you could even say it’s a matter of life and death.
Because of this, elders like Director Zeng, Director Wang, Sister Zhu, and Director Zhou have made their stance clear on his transfer — as long as Changhang police can switch to administrative status, transferring back to the Changhang Bureau is possible.
If the Ministry of Transport’s application to the National Council is not approved, what’s waiting for Changhang Public Security Officers is job loss and redistribution. Knowing the Changhang Bureau is on the brink of "closure," what’s the point of transferring?
Having one elder concerned for you is already fortunate.
Thinking about having so many elders care for him, Han Yu felt heartfelt gratitude, and just as he was pondering how he was so broke he couldn’t repay them, Xiao Yu’s phone suddenly rang.
"It’s Xiao Yu, right, you’ve arrived? We’re nearby, okay okay, we’re heading back now."
"Who’s arrived?"
"Director Shi, Wang Yan and the others have arrived. Director Qi is at the Port Authority for a meeting and can’t come back, so we should accompany Political Commissioner Jiang for the reception."
Han Yu puzzled, asked, "You’re a bureau police officer; it’s your duty to go. What about me?"
Xiao Yu didn’t see Han Yu as an outsider, pocketed the phone, and smiled: "Director Qi wants you to go, hurry up, don’t keep Director Shi and Wang Yan waiting."
"Alright, let’s go have a look first."
Han Yu had no choice but to follow Xiao Yu back to the Changhang Bureau.
Sure enough, three very familiar-looking police cars were parked in the yard. Outside, a few criminal police felt awkward upon seeing Han Yu and immediately gave salutes and greetings.
"Come in and have a seat, why stand outside?"
"President, we won’t go inside. It’s good out here for smoking."
"You can smoke inside too."
Almost made a false conviction, really have no face to see people, the few criminal police from Linghai Police Bureau were too embarrassed to go inside and made excuses to decline.
Han Yu understood their feelings and could only pat their arms, then go inside with Xiao Yu.
Liu Guixiang had been waiting in the foyer, led them to a small meeting room on the second floor, where Shi Shengyong was awkwardly flipping through the interrogation notes the Changhang Bureau Criminal Investigation Team had taken at noon, Wang Yan was covering his phone softly arranging police to search Li Shugen’s house, hoping to find the murder weapon used on Old Man Zhang.
Political Commissioner Jiang and Major General Jiang sat opposite them, one leisurely drinking tea, the other barely containing inner excitement, trying to manage his expression but failing, a smile lingering at his mouth.
Han Yu equally understood Major General Jiang’s feelings, after all, the one captured was a murderer!
Comparatively, the administrative level of Changhang Bureau is high, but the jurisdiction isn’t large, only one murder has happened in the past decade, and it hasn’t even been solved until today, making it difficult to see a murderer, let alone capture one.
"Salted Fish, Xiao Yu, have a seat." Political Commissioner Jiang looked up to greet.
"Political Commissioner Jiang, I... I’ll sit over here."
With major leaders from both old departments present, Han Yu felt sitting anywhere wasn’t quite right, so he simply sat at the end of the conference table.
Xiao Yu, being a Changhang Public Security Officer, naturally listened to the commissioner’s instruction, went over and casually sat beside Major General Jiang, couldn’t help but playfully exchange looks with Wang Yan, as if his face declared the murderer was caught by him!
"Alright, call me after you find it." Wang Yan, completely vexed, glanced at Xiao Yu, then turned to look at Han Yu seated at the left, covering his phone added: "Send two more people to the detention center to interrogate Chen Xiaodong, find out what’s really going on..."
At that moment, Old Shi had finished reading the notes, had an idea who the murderer was, and put away the materials, smiling with feigned composure: "Salted Fish is here too."
Han Yu wouldn’t foolishly say he was attending the Changhang Bureau’s celebration banquet, simply looked up and said: "Passing by."
Linghai Police Bureau not only lost face this time, but might even have their superiors hold them accountable.
Shi Shengyong didn’t bother with idle chat with Han Yu, sighed heavily: "Political Commissioner Jiang, Major General Jiang, this mess, sorry to make a fool of ourselves."
"What’s that? We’re friends, we wouldn’t make fun of you."
Political Commissioner Jiang put down his teacup, picked up the phone in front of him, glanced at it, and continued: "Director Qi went to the Port Authority for a meeting and won’t be back for a while. He specifically called to say if Li Shugen’s confession is truthful, you can take Li Shugen at any time."
Shi Shengyong pointed at the notes just put down, furrowing his brows: "From the notes, looks like he’s the killer."
Political Commissioner Jiang waved: "Then take the suspect."
Shi Shengyong hesitated, then asked: "What about the City Bureau?"
"What does the City Bureau have to do with it? Our bureau isn’t under the City Bureau’s control."
"Political Commissioner Jiang, if we just take the suspect like this, how will you report it later?"
