Hu Pingtao raised his hand and pointed at the truck parked on the electronic channel in the distance, his brows still furrowed: "There seems to be something wrong with that truck."

Liu Guangbei turned his head and looked over there, saying, "Didn't you just read the manifest and say it was okay?"

"No..." Hu Pingtao said quickly: "There is nothing wrong with the declaration form. I just feel that the weight of the car is a little abnormal."

"The weight of the car?" Hearing this, Wang Dong, who was standing on the side, also turned to look over there, paying special attention to the red numbers on the electronic display, and asked doubtfully: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it! The weight is normal."

The border inspection station has a thick catalog of goods, including entries for macadamia nuts. In order to speed up customs inspection and review, border inspection personnel must memorize the different depths of the fuel tanks of various types of vehicles (oil-containing inspection entries), as well as various

The weight of the goods.

An experienced border inspector can judge whether there is any private goods in the truck just by looking at the weighing numbers.

This is an important basis for the three or even four inspections.

Stationmaster Liu Guangbei also shook his head and said: "I don't see anything abnormal. According to the data reported on the manifest, the weight is within the normal range. It is not overweight or underweight."

Wang Dong turned around, glanced at Hu Pingtao with an unkind expression, and said unhappily: "There is nothing wrong with that car. Young man, don't be alarmist."

He had a lecturing tone.

Hu Pingtao didn't answer. He thought for a moment, then strode towards the weighing channel. When he walked to Liu Guangbei's side, he pulled the other person's arm and said hurriedly: "Stationmaster, call the people quickly.

, armed inspection.”

Liu Guangbei was stunned: "Xiaohu, this kind of thing is not a joke. If there is a problem, we must not let it go, but with so many cars lined up behind us, armed inspection is very troublesome. If there is no evidence, it will be in vain.

It’s a waste of time.”

This means a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the goods on the vehicle. Unlike the extensive initial inspection, the armed inspection first detains the owner and driver of the goods, and the inspection of the goods is also more detailed.

Hu Pingtao pulled him away and explained in a low voice: "The shipment they declared is macadamia nuts. Currently, the largest macadamia nut producing area in the world is in Australia. This thing was not available in Annan before. Later, it started to be transplanted, but...

In terms of quality, it is very different from Australian products.”

Liu Guangbei asked in surprise: "Do you have any research in this area?"

"I have read some related books and information." Hu Pingtao said in a humble tone, but his speed did not slow down: "Australia is the origin of macadamia nuts, and fruit trees have grown there for hundreds of years. Although large-scale planting does not take long,

, but the quality is very good. Fruit trees pay attention to long-term improvement.

Cultivation, especially high-quality fruit production in the original growing area, is very different from cultivation in other places. Let’s talk about this macadamia nut! The Australian variety has a thinner shell and a more regular and smooth shape, so the kernel yield rate reaches more than 36%, which is higher than other macadamia nuts.

Local varieties are four percentage points higher."

"Simply put, macadamia nuts produced in Australia are plumper and heavier than macadamia nuts produced elsewhere. I have seen the commonly used goods sorting catalog issued above, which fixes the weighing of macadamia nuts.

But that catalog was made the year before last, and the product weighing model used at that time was not from Annan, but from macadamia nuts originating in Australia."

Wang Dong followed behind. When he heard these words, his expression was surprised and shocked, but more importantly, he was alert and defensive.

Liu Guangbei was surprised and happy: "Xiaohu, you are pretty good! You even know this."

The three of them had already arrived in front of the vehicle. Liu Guangbei did not hesitate anymore and immediately issued an order for armed inspection. Several armed inspectors guarding the cordon immediately surrounded the truck and pulled the owner and driver out of the cab.

, change someone into the cab, drive the car out of the passage, and drive to the square outside.

Two high-power searchlights came from different directions, illuminating the area as bright as day.

The cargo owner and driver were detained in a nearby room, and they kept shouting at the top of their lungs, "There is nothing wrong with our cargo."

If there is any problem, please check it out.

Hu Pingtao led several inspectors to open the tailgate of the carriage and unload the sacks filled with macadamia nuts. While inspecting, he explained to Liu Guangbei.

"The total number of items in this truck is two hundred pieces (bags). Strictly speaking, there is not much difference between the macadamia nuts produced in Annan and the single macadamia nuts produced in Australia. But when so many fruits are added together, they weigh a lot.

To put it simply, the fruits produced in Annan are lighter."

"All vehicle goods were filled in on the customs entry declaration form, including vehicle maintenance tools and spare parts. The fuel tank surface was more than three-quarters of the way, indicating that they had refueled before entering customs. Passing the initial inspection and re-inspection indicated that

There is nothing wrong with the vehicle itself."

"If it is normal foreign trade goods, normal numbers will appear in the weighing and remarks. But the common goods sorting catalog we use is used frequently and comes into contact with many people. As long as you are willing, it is not difficult to get a copy.

.The weight of macadamia nuts that should be reduced will be replaced by other things, or even deliberately increased."

Liu Guangbei nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "In this way, there won't be any problems when passing the weigh-in."

Hu Pingtao opened a pack of macadamia nuts and said while inspecting: "Yes, as long as the weight matches the catalog, they have achieved their goal. But they overlooked the most important detail - the origin of this batch of macadamia nuts.

It’s Annan, not Australia.”

Just as he was talking, the drug-detection dog next to him suddenly jumped into the car, got into the pile of bags, pawed at a sack underneath, and barked repeatedly.

"Xiaohu, you are right, there is indeed something wrong with this truck!"

Liu Guangbei looked happy and quickly urged the inspectors on the car: "Quickly, unload all the goods in the yard."

According to experience during the Chinese New Year, it is usually easier to find private items in the lowest cargo bag.

A total of six sacks were unloaded. Hu Pingtao held the scissors and squatted down to smell them before cutting the tether.

"There is coconut oil on the outside of the bag. No wonder it was not found during the initial inspection."

Macadamia nuts have a coconut scent, and using coconut oil with the same scent to smear the outer packaging misleads the drug detection dogs. If you don't remove part of the goods on top, even dogs with a sensitive sense of smell will have a hard time detecting any abnormalities.

.

Liu Guangbei picked up the metal "key" specially designed for macadamia nuts, unscrewed the hard shell of one fruit, and revealed a small plastic bag filled with white powder stuffed inside.

"Sure enough, it's heroin." His expression suddenly became serious, and he turned around and told Wang Dong, the deputy station chief standing next to him: "Old Wang, ask the people from the third and fourth teams to come over and dismantle the car in one place.

Don’t let it go either.”

Dismantling a car is one of the essential skills at the border inspection station - in up to an hour, the entire car will be reduced to parts.

Heroin is lighter than macadamia nuts. On the bottom floor of the carriage, inspectors found several cardboard boxes containing mineral water.

This is the object used to pressurize the warehouse.

Hu Pingtao picked up a macadamia nut and looked at it carefully against the light shining from the side.

The "manufacturing" process of the fruit is very delicate. There is a line on the side that is difficult to see unless you look carefully. The two halves of the fruit shell are tightly pressed together. It is estimated that some kind of glue is used in the middle for bonding.

Looking at the macadamia nut handed over by Hu Pingtao, Liu Guangbei couldn't help but take a breath: "This thing is so exquisitely made. Xiaohu, look here, the tangent lines are smooth and neat, obviously machine-cut. The bonded edges are consistent.

It’s just right. I guess I put the heroin bag in it and waited for the glue to dry before polishing the adhesive gaps on the outside of the shell.”

Although Deputy Station Director Wang Dong had prejudices against Hu Pingtao, he was never confused about important matters. Wang Dong came over from the side, stared at the macadamia nut in Liu Guangbei's hand, frowned and said: "One fruit

If the shell wants to achieve this level, it must be absolutely refined. Also,

The plastic bags containing drugs are also very particular. First of all, they cannot be too thick, otherwise the quantity of drugs shipped will be affected; secondly, they cannot be too thin, and the seal must be tight. Once it leaks during transportation, especially at our border inspection station,

Being shut down is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap."

Liu Guangbei looked serious: "These drug traffickers are all desperadoes. For money, they will do anything. But this time it really reminds us that previous experience is very useful, but it cannot be applied to this situation."

In any aspect, thanks to Xiaohu today, otherwise once this car is put in, it will be difficult to investigate and deal with it. "

…

This past night, the Xiluo Border Inspection Station was abuzz.

Drug traffickers use macadamia nuts to disguise their trafficking. This method is brand new, and the drugs contained in each fruit are weighed. This provides convenience for drug trafficking in the later packaging and transaction process, saving time.

It has replaced the previous secondary packaging process and is more disguised and deceptive.

Coconut oil was smeared on the outside of all the cargo bags, and the strong smell blocked the sniff search of the drug-detecting dogs. Although two random inspections were conducted, no problems were found with the cargo at the bottom of the carriage.

The amount of heroin seized in the vehicle exceeded 300 kilograms.

The Xiluo Border Inspection Station is an important pass on the southwest border. Although it is only a division-level unit, it has hundreds of personnel under its jurisdiction and can also receive the cooperation of the local garrison. Its role is not only to guard the country's gate, but also to

Combating regional crimes and maintaining law and order in many aspects.

Countless people enter the customs here every day.

Everyone wants to get rich.

The idea of ​​"going out to carry heroin once, and coming back rich for the rest of your life" is deeply ingrained in many people's minds.

Taking last year as an example, the total amount of drugs seized at the Xiluo Border Inspection Station throughout the year exceeded 600 kilograms.

The year with the largest amount of drugs seized in history, the total amount was as high as three tons.

The current market price of heroin in the mainland is about 150 yuan per gram, and even as high as 300 yuan in some places. Based on this calculation, the total price of this batch of drugs exceeds 40 million.

The seizure of 300 kilograms of heroin at one time is an exciting victory no matter what.

Liu Guangbei, the webmaster, could not afford to rest, so he contacted the provincial department overnight and asked them to send people down to sort out the case and follow the clues to expand the results.

Although border inspection and anti-narcotics are both part of the public security system, their functions are different. There are specialties in the industry, and everyone performs their own duties.

It dawned very early in the tropics. Before seven o'clock, many off-duty border inspection police officers came to the inspection square, talking endlessly around the truck that had been dismantled into parts.

"These people really think about it, they actually stuff drugs into nutshells... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, what can you do with such brains, you have to sell drugs."

"This nutshell is so finely made inside and out! My son plays with Gundam assembly models. After putting glue on it, he has to polish it after it dries. These drug dealers do the same thing. If you don't take it out and inspect each one carefully.

, I really can’t see it.”

"I heard that Station Liu and Station Wang were on duty last night. They were both old border inspectors and they didn't see anything wrong. It was the new captain, the one named Hu Pingtao, who discovered the weight of the truck when it was being weighed.
