The night was deep, yet Binjiang Port No.3 Pier was still brightly lit.
Dock workers operated cranes to load cargo onto a bulk carrier, people bustled about in the cargo hold, on the deck, and along the shore, all busily engulfed in their work.
What came as a surprise to everyone was the appearance of a security jeep, escorted by a police car and a military police vehicle, arriving late at night.
Captain Chen stepped out of the vehicle, put on a safety helmet, and began to gesticulate while talking to the police and military police officers who had also just alighted from the two cars behind him.
A dock worker set down his walkie-talkie and turned to say, "Old Liu, that cop looks like Deputy Director Jiang from Changhang Bureau!"
