The investigation by the Intelligence Section continued the next day.
Originally, Song Shutang was sitting in his seat early in the morning, looking through the investigation materials provided by Qu Yang.
Zhu Yue called him and Long Hao into the office.
It's quiet here and easier to read information.
He was worried that it would affect Zhu Yue's work, but he was reluctant to accept Song Shutang's kindness so that Long Hao could stay.
"Thank you, team leader."
"Just don't count me out." Zhu Yue naturally meant to help conceal the investigation.
Long Hao said with a smile: "But if you tell the truth and don't hide anything, how can it be a conspiracy?"
"You've already told me, can I not agree?"
"So it's not a calculation."
"It's a conspiracy!" Zhu Yue scolded with a smile.
After sitting down in the team leader's office, Song Shutang began to look through the investigation materials.
Wang Shan's youngest son is named Wang Qiang, who is 36 years old this year. He grew up on a boat since he was a child and has officially been running boats with Wang Shan for more than ten years.
Wang Qiang was first sent to the company as a trainee by his father Wang Shan, but was later eliminated and had no choice but to follow him.
After all, Wang Shan has been aware of the hardships and dangers involved in running boats for most of his life. He does not want his son to inherit his father's legacy, so he has no choice but to do so.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qiang was quite spiritual about this and made rapid progress.
He got started quickly and then started running boats to make a living with his father.
The Wang family had a larger wooden boat before. Later, the Ministry of Transportation launched a wooden boat improvement campaign in the mountain city of Beibei. Wang Shan had the foresight to take the lead in participating. Now there is a newly built and improved wooden boat.
The outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War brought new life to wooden boats, and business was actually very good.
Daily necessities such as rice, salt, sugar, coal, tea, cotton, grains, petroleum, cloth, hardware, and department stores were all transported by wooden boats.
But the Wang family is in a special situation.
The eldest son Wang Yong died in the war and left behind a pair of orphans and a widowed mother, and the second son Wang Gang left behind two daughters, all of whom now need the help of Wang Shan and Wang Qiang.
Therefore, Wang Shan facilitated Wang Qiang's discussion, and they would not go if the voyage was too far.
More are in Yichang, Xufu, Jiangjin, Wushan, Hechuan, Hot Spring and other places.
Therefore, sometimes they will just rent out the boat without getting on the boat themselves, and only charge rent.
Although you will make less money, it will be more stable.
In the past few years, as Wang Shan has grown older and suffered from the loss of his son, his body has become weaker and weaker day by day. It is mostly Wang Qiang who runs the ship with the crew, while Wang Shan takes care of the family.
When the accident happened, it was Wang Qiang who also took the crew out on a voyage to Yichang.
On the way back, we encountered a sudden storm and heavy rain one night.
The canvas covering the cargo on the ship was blown up by the wind and rolled up in the air. Wang Qiang tried to refix the canvas in the rain to prevent the cargo from getting wet. Unexpectedly, the wind was high and the waves were strong, and the ship's hull suddenly stirred up. In addition, Wang Qiang's feet were slippery due to the rain, so he fell down.
land.
There was nothing to do, but the canvas was flying, and the fixed hemp rope was wrapped around Wang Qiang's legs. For a moment, he couldn't stand up immediately. The cargo lost the canvas reinforcement and fell over. Seeing the heavy object hit Wang Qiang, he fell to the ground.
He narrowly escaped crawling and rolling.
Fortunately, he was young and agile, otherwise he would have been hit but would have lost half his life.
However, the hemp rope on one leg was entangled for a few more weeks during the roll and avoidance. He tried his best to avoid the heavy object but hit the side of the boat. He lost weight and fell into the river.
The river was turbulent that night, and Wang Qiang's legs were tied up with hemp ropes, so he sank into the water and disappeared for a while.
Everyone on the boat was anxious but did not dare to rush into the water.
Two of them had the best relationship with Wang Qiang. In desperation, they tied a rope around their waists and jumped into the river to search. The reason was that the river was dark and it was difficult to search.
One person was also trapped in the water by the whirlpool and almost lost his life. Fortunately, everyone on the boat worked together to pull the rope and rescued him aboard.
In the end, the two of them were exhausted but failed to save Wang Qiang.
Under the rapids, the corpses were all washed away to an unknown place.
After reading the information, Long Hao sighed and said: "It seems that Qu Yang and the others did conduct a serious investigation. Wang Shan said that his son had excellent water skills, but his legs were tied and he fell into the rapids. In addition, the place where the incident occurred was on a dangerous reef.
Most of the time, if you are not careful underwater, you will hit your head on it and lose consciousness, no matter how good your water skills are, you will not be able to use it."
"The old man thought it was absolutely impossible."
"It is not impossible to add these prerequisites."
"Since we agreed, we can wait until we check." Song Shutang said.
Since you agreed to Wang Shan's investigation, you naturally cannot draw conclusions after reading the investigation data of Qu Yang and others.
What Long Hao is now worried about is that the same investigation results will cause Wang Shan to experience pain again.
It is natural to check if you can.
"Start with the crew." Long Hao suggested.
"There are seven crew members in total. Let's meet one by one."
"Let's go." Long Hao didn't like procrastination and started to act directly.
The information provided by Qu Yang recorded all the information of the crew members on the ship that day, so it is actually very convenient to find people now.
The only thing you need to worry about is that they go sailing with the ship and you won't be able to find them for a while.
According to the address, the two first came to the crew member's home. After asking, they learned that they had been away for four days and would not return until two days later.
Then go find Crew 2.
Although I was not at home, I learned that there was loading and unloading work at the dock today. The crew did not run the ship all the time, but sometimes worked as stevedores at the dock to make money.
The address is at Taiping Pier.
I went to Taiping Pier to look for Crew 2. I happened to pass by Crew 3's residence, so I stopped by to look for him.
Three crew members happened to be at home.
The two men stated that they were here to investigate Wang Qiang's matter. The three crew members were confused. Hadn't the investigation of this matter been concluded before?
Moreover, there was a lot of commotion in Wangshan, and naturally the people on the same boat heard about it.
Long Hao saw the confusion in the crew's eyes, so he took out his ID and said that they were responsible for the investigation at each terminal.
The third crew member was an employee of Chuanjiang Wooden Ships. Naturally, he knew about the dock inspection work in the past few days. He immediately put aside his suspicion and invited the two people in.
"Actually, I have already told the police officer what I need to say before." The third crew member was the first to say that you are asking me now, and I have no new answer.
However, Song Shutang didn't mind and began to inquire patiently, and finally found that it was indeed consistent with the confession he had provided before.
Although the order of sentences or wording are slightly different, such a reaction is normal after so much time has passed.
After leaving the home of the third crew member, we went straight to the Taiping Pier and found the second crew member who was carrying cargo.
There was a darkened towel hanging around his neck, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.
His lean body can withstand heavy loads and his steps are steady.
It just so happened that the two of them from Song Shutang came forward as the work was finished and they were waiting for it to be completed. This time it was easier to express their intention. There were members of the intelligence department at the dock responsible for the investigation, so they could just go up and explain to them.
Inviting the second crew member to sit down at the tea stall beside the stone steps of the pier, Song Shutang said, "Have a cup of tea and take a rest."
"I'm not tired." The second crew member said as he wiped his face with a towel.
That night two people went into the water to rescue Wang Qiang, and Crew 2 was one of them.
"How dare you go into the water to save people?" Song Shutang asked.
"Although I also make a living on the river, I don't have a wooden boat. I just work on other people's boats. In the early years, the wooden boat business was bleak, and there were fewer needs for people like us. But Qiangzi always thought of me first when he was alive.
, never take the opportunity to lower the price. Later, the wooden boat business became prosperous again, and I always followed Qiangzi to run boats. We are very good friends."
"No wonder."
"But I didn't save Qiangzi."
"You've done your best."
"It would have been better if I had gone down earlier." The second crew member blamed himself. If he hadn't found a rope to tie to his body, maybe the situation would have been different.
"It will only get worse." Song Shutang advised.
