Chapter 1755 It’s all a performance
At this time, Victory Harbor was crowded, with about 20,000 people watching the fireworks near the port area. In order to ensure that fireworks will not cause fires in the warehouse-dense port and avoid congestion and stampedes caused by too many onlookers, officials have divided several viewing areas and fireworks display areas in the port area, and specially dispatched three companies of garrison to cooperate with the local area. security police and vigilante groups to maintain order in the flow of people in the port area.
Because fireworks performances have become a regular program during the National Day just like military parades, lively scenes like this have almost always appeared on the eve of the National Day in recent years. During this period, senior officials of the Haihan Executive Committee will also invite insiders in Sanya, gentry and celebrities in Haihan, as well as envoys from various countries, foreign friendly people, etc., to the Victory Port to watch the expensive fireworks. Performance.
The area where the distinguished guests are located has been designated as an isolation zone a day in advance. Sentinels deployed by the security forces are also on duty at nearby high places. There are also navy ships patrolling inside and outside the harbor. Ordinary people will not be allowed to enter this area before and after the event. In this area, safety work is foolproof. Although it may seem a bit unreasonable, considering the number of people who flocked to the streets to celebrate during the National Day, this can be regarded as an arrangement that is happy with the people.
For the upper class people, coming to Victory Port to watch the fireworks is actually just a reason to come here to join in the fun, mostly because they can get in touch with high-ranking officials from Haihan Kingdom here. Normally, if you want to meet these big names, you have to go through the process and wait for the appointment. It is possible to wait for a month, two months or even longer.
Of course, in such a crowded place, it is not appropriate to talk about important matters, but if you want to make a presence in front of senior officials of Haihan and look familiar, this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere is perfect. But that's it. Many wealthy businessmen rushed here from other places and spent a lot of effort and money to get the admission qualifications, just to show their faces in front of the executive committee and show that they were qualified to enter this top social network. A member of the circle.
However, after some people entered the viewing area, they found an extremely young-looking Police Officer Haihan sitting not far away. If the police officer hadn't been carrying a police badge symbolizing his senior rank on his shoulders, someone might have stepped forward to remind him that this was where VIPs were seated. However, people soon recognized the identity of this young police officer. He was one of the representatives of the young officials currently being trained by the Haihan Executive Committee, Fu Li, the director of the Special Operations Division of the Police Department of the Haihan Ministry of Justice. .
When Haihan first arrived in Sanya, Fuli was only fifteen years old when he walked out of the mountains to join this group of foreigners. At that time, he didn't even know Chinese characters. But now, Fu Li, who has lived with the Haihan people for nearly ten years, can hardly tell that he is from the Li people. Whether it is appearance, clothing or conversation and behavior, they are almost the same as those who have traveled through time. Fu Li had joined the Police Department to work with Ren Liang very early on. Among the Li officials now serving in Haihan, he was not only the oldest, but also the one with the highest official position. Moreover, his position is not a false one, even the auditorium for such a big occasion as today has his exclusive seat.
The functions of the Special Operations Division are relatively complex. They are mainly responsible for solving problems that cannot be handled by grassroots police stations and public security police, such as major criminal cases, foreign-related cases, security intelligence cases, security work on special occasions, etc. The functions of this yamen actually overlap to a certain extent with the agencies under the Ministry of Security, but so far, there have been no major problems in the coordination and communication between the two parties. For example, during today's fireworks display, the police are responsible for the security work around the Hong Kong viewing platform, with the Special Operations Office commanding and deploying manpower.
The guests who recognized Fu Li naturally immediately took the initiative to say hello and say hello to him, and those who didn't know him originally also hurried over to check his presence after knowing his identity. Although Fu Li does look too young, this just shows that he has a bright future. If he doesn't burn incense now, will he have to wait until he becomes successful in ten or twenty years? Fu Li didn't put on airs at all. He treated everyone who came to say hello calmly and took advantage of this opportunity to earn a lot of favor.
Some people at the scene began to inquire whether the young Haihan official had a family, thinking that if they could marry him, they might be able to help him more in the Haihan officialdom in the future. As for Fu Li's Li identity, it did not attract any special attention. Nowadays, the younger generation of Li Dong Miao Village on Hainan Island have left the mountains to join Haihan. There are thousands of Li people working for the government, many of whom are With an official position like Fu Li, his status is no longer as low as it was during the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Fu Li's background is no longer Li Dong, but the powerful Haihan government. Who would question whether his backing is strong enough?
Now that Fu Li is sitting on the viewing platform, the command of the scene has been fully handed over to his deputy Huang Tongyang. After Huang Tongyang solved the Spanish espionage case in 1634, he was awarded as a meritorious person who participated in solving the case. The following year, he was promoted from the position of director of the Victory Port Police Station to a position in the Police Department. Huang Tongyang now serves as deputy in the Special Operations Division, responsible for public security affairs in Sanya City.
Although his immediate boss was more than a year younger than himself, Huang Tongyang took it very seriously. He has been working with Fu Li for some time, and he knows that his young boss is not able to climb so fast just because of his early Chonglong time as rumored outside. In fact, Fu Li is superior in both intellectual knowledge and how to deal with others. With his many years of experience, he is definitely one of the best in the Police Department. If the positions of the two people were transferred, and Huang Tongyang would be the principal and Fu Li would be the deputy. The deputy was not only strong in ability but also highly appreciated by the executive committee, then he would definitely feel that he was powerless and would not be able to sit securely in this position.
The Police Department's arrangements for today's event were mainly planned by Fu Li and him. Huang Tongyang is no stranger to this kind of activity. When he was the director of the Shengli Port Police Station, he would also be assigned to participate in the order maintenance of National Day activities every year. However, now his position has been promoted and he has more responsibility. Big. But with the experience of previous years, as long as you make all the preparations step by step, generally speaking, there will be no big surprises. After all, in addition to the more than 300 security police here, there are also three companies of the Army with more than 1,000 people, and more than 400 militiamen from the militia. Anyone who wants to cause trouble in the port area must first think carefully. Can he fight against so many trained armed men?
Of course, such arrangements cannot completely prevent the occurrence of security incidents. During the festival, some people will inevitably lose control of their emotions after drinking too much and cause trouble outside. Before the fireworks show started, Huang Tongyang had already dealt with four or five drunken and troublemaking disputes. However, there are enough manpower deployed in the port area. As long as there is the slightest sign of such a thing, police will immediately arrive in teams and arrest the person. If the police arrive at the scene and are still unable to sober up and try to resist, then they may not be sent to the squad room until they are given a meal with a baton.
In addition to dealing with troublesome drunkards, there are also petty thefts, molesting women, missing children, left items and other security incidents that require the police to deal with, so for Huang Tongyang, this is bound to be an extremely busy night. While people enjoy the fireworks display, he may have to deal with several troubles at the same time.
"Master Huang, there is someone making trouble at the entrance to the viewing area. I need you to go over and have a look."
As soon as Huang Tongyang sat down and took a sip of water, someone came to report that something had happened again. Huang Tongyang sighed and stood up and said: "It's a hard life... let's go and see who the guy with no eyes is!"
Due to security needs, the entrance to the viewing area is also very heavily guarded. Not only are barbed wire fences and horse-blocking roadblocks deployed, but there are also inspection checkpoints composed of the military, police and the Special Service Department of the Ministry of Security. Invited guests must present their invitations and state their names, and must undergo security checks before entering. There are also personnel sent by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the checkpoint, who are responsible for checking the identities of the guests to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
On such occasions, guests will basically enter in advance, and very few people will be late. However, there are several people blocking the entrance at the moment, negotiating with the personnel responsible for identity verification. It seems that they have been blocked out due to formalities. As soon as Huang Tongyang arrived at the scene, the people who were stopped here immediately changed their targets. One of the middle-aged men said: "Master Huang came at the right time. Please comment. The discrepancy certificate is not fake. Why can't I enter?" Field?”
Huang Tongyang knew the person who was speaking. Jiang Han, the owner of Xinlong Tea House in Sanya, although he was not a big shot, he was still an old acquaintance who had lived in Sanya for many years. Liu Shang, a celebrity who joined the propaganda department from the storyteller industry two years ago, and then joined the youth league, was discovered in Jiang Han's teahouse. However, Liu Shang later became a cadre going north and was sent to the north of Ming Dynasty by the Youth League to station permanently. Jiang Han was not able to enjoy the benefits brought by this.
Jiang Han has some businesses in Sanya, but in terms of business scale, he is still far behind the top businessmen in Haihan. Therefore, based on his status alone, he should not be able to enter the viewing area on this occasion. of.
Huang Tongyang saw that what Jiang Han and others were holding did not seem to be invitations, so he asked him to hand it over for him to see. Jiang Han was not timid at all, and directly handed the thing in his hand to Huang Tongyang for inspection.
The guests officially invited by Haihan this time all have official invitations, which not only state their identities, but each invitation is limited to a maximum of two people. If you bring an entourage, the entourage can only be at the edge of the viewing area. The rules for staying in a small designated area are very strict. Of course, one more thing at this time can reduce some troubles. This kind of deployment is also to avoid unexpected situations as much as possible.
However, in addition to the guest of honor and entourage, there are also a large number of staff who have to enter and exit the viewing area during the event. In addition to these security personnel, there are also attendants, translators, chefs, handymen, doctors, grooms and other service personnel who are responsible for the fireworks. The craftsmen who set off the fire, the fire brigade who were on standby to prevent fires, the pens of various newspapers, the logistics personnel who transported various items, etc., there were hundreds of people in total. The temporary access documents these people received were just a small iron plate hung around their necks, with the word "Lin" stamped on it using a stencil.
The certificate of entry and exit that Jiang Han handed to Huang Tongyang was exactly such a sign. Since large-scale events like this will issue temporary access certificates to staff, the fonts used will be different each time, which is considered a one-time item limited to that day. Moreover, such products stamped by machines cannot be forged in a short time, and the reliability is still relatively high. Huang Tongyang took it in his hand and examined it. It was indeed the temporary pass for this event. However, Jiang Han and several others were obviously not dressed like staff, so they were checked by the security guards at the entrance. Stop it.
"Where did you get this thing?" After Huang Tongyang confirmed it, he did not return the thing to Jiang Han, but asked him about its origin. In fact, he had already guessed in his mind that most of the staff were greedy for money and secretly sold the passes to these businessmen who were willing to pay for them. As for the purpose of these people trying to sneak into the scene, it is naturally to find opportunities to make a presence in front of big shots.
Jiang Han did not answer his question directly: "Master Huang, if the thing is real, I should be allowed in, right? This is not an invitation that requires real-name admission. Why can't I enter with this sign?"
Huang Tongyang laughed and said: "Why did you bring this in? This is for the staff. Are you planning to pretend to be a cook or a groom?"
Jiang Han responded seriously: "As long as I can get in, I can play any role!"
"Nonsense!" Huang Tongyang couldn't help scolding: "Is this an occasion where you can enter whenever you want? You guys, all hand over your signs!"
Jiang Han was still dissatisfied: "Master Huang, I just want to go in and watch the performance, and say hello to all the adults. Why are you so stuck? I'm just afraid of trouble. If I had changed my outfit before, I wouldn't have gotten in." ?”
When Huang Tongyang heard this, he was suddenly shocked and realized that he seemed careless. He ignored Jiang Han at the moment and just waved his hand and said: "Detain these people first. Access to the viewing area is temporarily prohibited and all entrances and exits are blocked. Inform the SWAT team to assemble in the viewing area immediately! By the way, follow up with the Special Service Department of the Security Department Let them know as well and ask them to send someone over quickly!”
At that moment, several police officers swarmed up, held Jiang Han and others down, took out handcuffs and began to handcuff them. Jiang Han still didn't understand why Huang Tongyang suddenly turned against him, and quickly shouted out his injustice.
Huang Tongyang, who had already entered the viewing area from the entrance, suddenly turned around and came back when he heard the sound. Just when Jiang Han thought things were turning around, he heard Huang Tongyang ordering another police officer: "Interrogate them immediately, no matter what method you use, five minutes." I want to know where their passes come from!”
