Chapter 1219: Catch Them All
This is not a glorious thing.
Given the current level of backwardness, if you are caught, the village may not hear about it for a month or two.
If the family didn't come forward to speak out, no one would know about it for half a year and they wouldn't be able to say for sure. At most, there would be some rumors.
It would be different if he told it, and he would immediately involve Lin Jishang.
Now we only caught his cousin, not him, and still had time to react.
There had been rumors in the village that he was involved in smuggling, and it had only subsided in the past two years. If the rumor spread that his cousin was caught at sea, he would have to be confirmed.
There are so many boatmen on the ship, even if they are told not to tell them when they go back, they will definitely tell their families or wives.
Moreover, this person was not from their village. He specifically told them not to talk about it when they went back. It always felt weird and made people feel as if he was involved in it and was involved in something fishy. That's why he didn't want others to know. It had nothing to do with him in the first place.
Fortunately, he stopped it temporarily and didn't say it out loud, so there was no need to worry about it coming out from him.
Although it had nothing to do with him, it did have something to do with Lin Jishang. He felt that as a fellow villager, he had the obligation to help cover it up and stop talking nonsense.
Then after docking, the prophet would meet with Lin Jishang and ask him to think of a way to deal with it.
Anyway, he just said that he recognized the middle-aged man who was arrested inside as his cousin, and he didn't know the rest, so he could figure it out on his own.
Even if people knew that he was the one who tipped off the news, it could be said that he recognized a relative from the village, so he informed him and could not get involved with him.
Ye Yaodong held the binoculars and continued to observe the situation, ignoring his father's urging in his ears.
"Dongzi, tell me, why are you so secretive that you don't dare to let others know?"
"Who is this person? Why are you covering him so tightly when you already know?"
"Is it from our place? Or is it from the generation around us? I have indeed heard that there are people smuggling around us..."
"Forget it, if you don't tell me, I'll go down and find someone else to analyze it."
Ye Yaodong pulled his father, "Why are you so curious? You told them that you recognized the wrong person, and you still have to go down to find a sense of existence?"
"Then tell me who it is, and I promise not to tell anyone."
"That middle-aged man is Lin Jishang's cousin. I felt familiar when I saw him just now. Uncle Qi didn't say anything, so I haven't remembered that he was there just now."
"Ah? Really?" Father Ye was surprised.
"Really, when we three brothers planned to build a house a few years ago, didn't he ask Lin Jishang to come forward and let us give up the old foundation to him? Then to compensate us, he gave us a small wooden boat, and forgot about it? "
"I remember this, but when did you see him? No one else came at that time, but Lin Ji came up and said it. You must have never seen him? Don't talk about you, I haven't seen him in the past few years."
Father Ye didn't think about this, and he also thought that Dongzi had never met Zhou Yechi.
"I saw it once before in the village at night. I just glanced at it, so I didn't recognize it now. I just felt a little familiar and seemed to have seen it before. I thought about it for a long time and only remembered it after Uncle Qi reminded me."
"No wonder, I said I haven't seen it in the past few years, how could you have seen it? It turns out that in the past two years, people in the village said that there was often movement on the pier at night, and it turned out to be true."
"Um."
"Did you know they moved the goods at night?"
"You know it when you know it. Why ask so many questions? Just know it yourself and don't tell anyone."
"Why? It's none of our business? You were covering it up so tightly just now, and you didn't tell me if I asked you. It's none of our business if the boatmen tell it, and we can't control other people's mouths."
Ye Yaodong looked at his father and sighed, "Although his cousin is not from the same village as us, if he goes back and speaks directly, he can affect a large number of villages around us. There must be people from his village or other nearby villages who follow him. …”
"That's even better. If you go back and pass, some of them will be able to hide in time without being caught."
"Then we have to tell it in private. When we go back and spread the word, won't all the previous rumors be confirmed? Let's not talk about it everywhere. Let's go back and tell Lin Jishang in the village, and give people time to react."
Father Ye looked at him suspiciously, "You have interacted with him a few times, shouldn't you consider him a friend?"
"No, at most it's just a little bit of tacit friendship."
"Then you must stay away. His cousin has been arrested, and it seems like he can't escape. It turns out there is no smoke without fire."
"I know, I don't usually have any contact with you."
"I didn't expect to be caught. I was caught at sea. It's so tragic. We don't know how many people in the nearby villages should be implicated."
Father Ye saw that he was holding a telescope in his hand, and quickly urged him, "Quickly take a look at the situation of the other ships. Since one of them is Zhou Yechi, you may not even know that a small part of them are from nearby villages. Look, See if you know anyone."
"I'm watching. I don't know many people from my own village or nearby villages."
I actually know a few people. After all, I have lived in the local area for most of my life and have been in several villages, so I can still recognize some people.
But there won't be many. After all, there is a large population flow in the back, and those who have a little money have already moved to the city. He himself is not a celebrity.
In his previous life, he had never heard that Lin Jishang had been arrested, nor had he heard that someone in a nearby village was caught smuggling.
It’s completely different now, and the trajectory is different.
Father Ye stood beside him and looked into the distance, muttering something in his mouth.
Anyway, what it means is that he should never do things he shouldn't do, never associate with dangerous people, and that he must behave as a responsible person.
During the short time they were talking, three boats parked side by side on both sides, and they all came close to each other.
"What's going on, Dongzi?"
"You just got close, and you were the first to arrive. Can you tell me what's going on now?"
"We just looked at it and all we knew was that one boat seemed to have sunk. Now that we got closer, we saw that the other two boats had also been seized."
"Dad, what's going on? You were just investigated. Are you okay? Is it okay that we are so close now?"
Father Ye told them the situation, only omitting that among the arrested people were people from nearby villages.
"They are driving people to the law enforcement ship, and they will probably follow the other two ships." Ye Yaodong said while watching with a telescope?
Now they were handcuffed with silver handcuffs one by one and driven to the law enforcement boat. He also recognized the two of them, most of them had their heads lowered and couldn't see clearly.
While they were watching carefully, they did not expect that the law enforcement boat did not immediately pursue the two fleeing fishing boats. Instead, it issued a warning to them, and then the three boats surrounded them first.
Everyone was a little surprised, "Why are you coming towards us..."
"Are we too close?"
Ye Yaodong reassured, "It's okay. We're just watching the excitement, and we're not in the same group. It doesn't matter. We're not afraid of boarding the ship and searching them."
"Then wait until they come."
When it was almost approaching, Ye Yaodong went down to the deck in advance.
The three law enforcement boats looked at their four boats side by side with vigilance. Although they looked honest and had not moved in front, they were just gathered together now and had no conscience to run away, but they had to get closer to investigate first.
Nowadays, any fishing boat that appears in the nearby sea is suspected, not to mention that they are so close together. These boats are also large and look similar, which makes it difficult not to be suspicious.
Ye Yaodong is now regarded as the voice of the four boats, and everyone obviously follows his lead.
Of course, when the law enforcement team came around to ask questions, the job of answering naturally fell on him. The others also spoke Mandarin poorly and were incomprehensible.
Ye Yaodong once again told the story he had with the previous boat. He also told him that the fishing boat that came to support him had boarded his fishing boat for inspection. He also talked about how he could cooperate.
"Sir, what do these people do? How did they get caught?"
"They were sailing suspiciously on the sea. We informed them to stop the boat for inspection, but they refused to cooperate and accelerated to get away. They even hit and assaulted the police later. Their behavior was very bad and must be detained at all costs."
"Since you are ordinary fishermen, leave here quickly and change to another fishing spot first. There are still two fishing boats still chasing us. You must not get close and interfere with official business. Leave quickly."
The others nodded quickly in agreement.
Ye Yaodong also agreed, "Okay, let's move to the side. It's just that we have been fishing in this area for a long time, so we will be familiar with this area. We are not sure if we can switch to other snacks. Can we be nearby? We will definitely not If you interfere with official business, you will never get so close."
Seeing their frowning disapproval, he quickly said: "If anything happens, it will be convenient for you to ask us to cooperate. Those boats look so big, and you can tell at a glance that it will not be easy to force them to stop."
"It's such a pity that one sank just now. How much is the loss? How much is the bare boat worth?"
"If the two boats at the back come faster, they might not have to sink. Or if you call us for help, we can go up and help surround them, so they might not sink."
The two leaders whispered to each other and nodded.
"Okay, then you can fish nearby. If we need help, we will let you know. Don't get close if nothing happens."
"The two ships that were later supported seemed to be bigger. Isn't it a little different from your ship?"
"We asked for support and the province temporarily dispatched it. They happened to be patrolling the sea as well."
"Then you should hurry up and chase those two boats. Do you want us to help you look after the two boats you just seized?"
"No need, we will keep the ship to watch, you should stay away quickly."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong was the only one who was talking nonsense to them. When the Coast Guard called them to leave, the other three boats had already cooperated to collect the anchors and start the fishing boats.
Father Ye also asked someone to close the anchor after he finished speaking.
There were more than 20 people squatting on the law enforcement ship at this time, and the navy was pointing guns at them to prevent them from acting rashly.
While talking to them, some people raised their heads curiously and looked at their boats. Some of them probably recognized Ye Yaodong, and they were a little emotional. Then they were pointed at by guns and forced to retreat and squat. With.
Ye Yaodong also looked at the squatting people curiously. There was no Lin Jishang. It seemed that he was only responsible for picking up goods on the shore.
His cousin Zhou Yechi is responsible for the work at sea. After all, he is also a fisherman and is familiar with the sea.
Those people were forced to shrink back, but some would still look at him secretly and shed tears, pleading in their eyes.
He could only spread his hands in his heart.
Still can't take chances and take the wrong approach.
Not all smuggling gangs are protected.
Just like Journey to the West, the monsters with backgrounds were taken away, and the monsters without backgrounds could only be beaten to death by monkeys.
"Let's go, Dad, we'll drag the net nearby and see if they can force the other two boats to stop."
"They should all be caught, so many people have been caught."
I'll make up a picture before 9 pm tomorrow night, and another one tomorrow night. I'll go home tomorrow, and I'll make up for the update
