Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 363 - 256 Police-Citizen Contact Card_2

Just as I was rounding the corner, I ran into Xiao Jiang and Zhang Erxiao.

"It’s getting dark, where are you guys heading?"

"We’re going to Four Factory for dinner, come with us."

"I just ate." Salted Fish laughed and asked curiously, "How are you getting there? Surely you’re not walking."

Zhang Erxiao pulled out his cell phone to check the time and said proudly, "A friend is driving here to pick us up. He just called, should be here any minute."

Han Yu smiled and asked him, "What friend?"

"You probably don’t know him, but you’ve definitely seen him. It’s Gu Datou, who used to hustle for passengers at the pier."

"Coming to pick you up, what car does he drive?"

"He used to drive a van, but last year he went to East Sea and bought a used sedan. Before, it was hustling, now it’s taxi driving. We often use his car, even the officials from Four Factory Town use his vehicle for errands."

"Gu Datou... I remember him. One year, because he fought to hustle for passengers, he brawled with a few guys driving ’rabbit head’ vans and ended up smashing their heads, my senior brother handled the case."

"Yes, yes, that’s him. He was detained for several days because of the fight. But it wasn’t entirely his fault, those local ’rabbit head’ drivers bullied him because he was an outsider. They not only barred him from hustling but also slashed his tires. He only fought back because they pushed him to the edge."

Those illegal taxi drivers pulling in passengers at Bailong Port were all tough nuts.

Each and every one of them, even if not punished, had been reprimanded.

Now, there aren’t as many passengers traveling by boat, and the hustling business isn’t easy.

Those illegal cab drivers who used to come from Four Factory or even from Linghai City District have gone back, leaving only a few local illegal cabbies soliciting passengers at Bailong Port.

Han Yu turned back to look and reminded them, "You two are now rich and with status, there’s no need, and you shouldn’t mingle with such shady characters like before."

Xiao Jiang hurriedly said, "Salted Fish, what are you thinking? We wouldn’t mingle with them at all. We just use Gu Datou’s car, and we pay him thousands of yuan in fare a year. He made some money and wants to treat us to dinner, he’d be upset if we don’t go."

Zhang Erxiao nodded, "Really, I’m not lying."

Money makes people turn bad easily.

Han Yu, not quite reassured, said seriously and earnestly, "There’s a saying ’one’s actions are often beyond one’s control.’ For instance, if you drink with them and get dizzily drunk, and they suddenly want to go fight or drunkenly cause trouble, and in the heat of the moment you follow them, even if you don’t hit anyone, others will hit you, and then you won’t be able to not fight back."

Zhang Erxiao made a grimace, "Don’t worry, we won’t drink too much."

"It’s strictly enforced period now."

"Understood!"

"Your girlfriend is a teacher, and your father-in-law is a principal."

"I know."

Just when he was lecturing these two young and rich friends, a Santana car drove up, and the driver was indeed what he remembered: Gu Datou, with a full face of flesh, not looking like a good person.

"President Zhang, President Jiang, sorry to keep you waiting."

"No worries, we were just chatting with Captain Yu."

"Captain Yu..."

Only then did Gu Datou notice Han Yu, hurried around the front of the car to greet him, hastily pulling out a cigarette, and obsequiously said, "Captain Yu, hello, hello. President Zhang often mentions you to me, says you’re good brothers. I saw you at Four Factory a while back; you were there on a case, right?"

"Thanks, I don’t smoke."

Han Yu pushed his arm away and noticed he had gotten fatter than before, his shaved head shinier, a big gold chain around his neck, and a tattoo that read "Endure" on his arm.

Gu Datou, looking back at Xiao Jiang and Zhang Erxiao, asked in a low voice, "Captain Yu, that scumbag Wu Qingjun was caught by you, right?"

"Boss Gu, why do you care about these things."

"I was just asking. Everyone knows that brat Wu was too audacious, even daring to steal guns from the Four Factory Public Security Department. But compared to Wu Qingjun, Li Jingen is even more despicable. His own gun was stolen and instead of urgently searching for it, he thought about stealing Tong Xianhe’s gun."

"Boss Gu, you’re quite well-informed."

"Captain Yu, the second year you went out for training, I started pulling passengers at Four Factory again. I’m very acquainted with the Public Security Department there, from Feng Biguo to Li Jingen, to Tong Xianhe and Yu Tiecheng, I know them all, and have drunk with them countless times."

This person, both an illegal cab driver and a delinquent, has been mingling around the markets of Four Factory Town and Bailong Port for many years, knowing all sorts of people.

Han Yu didn’t want to chat with him, but knowing he was well-informed, he pulled out a business card and said with a smile, "Boss Gu, this is my card. Call me if there’s anything."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Captain Yu."

Gu Datou felt very honored, took the business card with both hands, took out an exquisite metal business card holder, carefully put the business card inside, then took out a card from the holder and offered it with both hands:

"Captain Yu, this is my business card. You can call me anytime if you need a ride."

This business card was different from others, it had not only the name and pager number but also had a Santana image on it.

Han Yu was about to pocket it when Gu Datou grinned and said: "It’s a government car, you can pay whatever you feel like. You can use the car for free if you need it."

"How could I possibly accept that."

"I’m friends with President Zhang and President Jiang, and since you are also their friend, a friend of a friend is still a friend. By the way, let’s have dinner together tonight, you can sit in the front."

"Thanks, but I have something to do, I won’t be going."

Han Yu smiled slightly, turned around and patted the car’s hood: "You are asking President Zhang and President Jiang out for drinks, but don’t drive after drinking, we’ll need to find a car to send them back later."

Gu Datou hurriedly said: "Don’t worry Captain Yu, no drinking and driving, or driving and drinking."

...

As Gu Datou, Zhang Erxiao, and Xiao Jiang left, Han Yu leisurely made his way to the waiting room.

Just like yesterday, the Bai Shen Passenger Liner was delayed again, the waiting room was packed with people, Old Liu was on duty tonight, maintaining order inside.

Han Yu nodded slightly to the door’s staff, went inside and took a look around, didn’t spot anything suspicious, simply greeted Old Liu, and walked through the police duty room to the river side, along the pontoon bridge to the passenger liner.

Two sailors were at the stern watching the tide, Shao Lei and other onboard police officers were standing on the ship railing, smoking and chatting.

They teased Han Yu as they saw him.

"Captain Yu, when are you treating us?"

"I’m free every day, it’s mainly you who aren’t free."

"You’re not sincere, you definitely won’t have time if it’s a group invitation. But you can invite us separately, one by one."

"A banquet in succession?"

"Even that’s not impossible."

Last time they helped scare off Four Factory; he really should treat them.

Han Yu was thinking it was impossible to take care of everyone at once, might as well someday invite them to the ship, Shao Lei whispered: "Salted Fish, I heard you might transfer here to work with us?"

"How did you know about that?"

"Director Liu told me."

"Director Liu told you?"

"I went to his office to borrow a phone at noon, he was on a call, talking about your transfer."

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then said with a bitter smile: "It’s only a possibility that I might transfer here, but job transfers aren’t that easy. Besides, I’m not like others, I can’t just transfer whenever."

Shao Lei glanced unconsciously towards the Dunship: "Are you worried about the Dunship and 001?"

"Director Zhang and Chief Ding are about to retire, if they retire and I transfer here, who will take care of the Dunship and 001?"

"That’s true, people onshore are different from us on the water; they don’t understand or care about these things."

While they were talking, Old Liu came over with a walkie-talkie.

Han Yu quickly approached him, standing on the moored Dunship, and asked: "Uncle Liu, Shao Lei said you talked to someone at noon about my job transfer?"

The deal that was almost done was ruined.

Liu Xinmin was as dismayed as Political Commissioner Wang from the Water Police Station but didn’t want to tell Han Yu too much, said nonchalantly: "I was just asking around for you."

"Asked who?"

"Director Zhang."

"What did Director Zhang say?"

"The timing is not right."

Han Yu finally relaxed and grinned: "You nearly scared me to death just now. If I were transferred right now, what would happen to the Dunship and 001?"

Old Liu patted his arm, meaningfully said: "Don’t overthink, Director Zhang will definitely consider everything for you. He has such a good relationship with your master, would he just watch the Dunship and 001, left by your master, go to waste?"
