In 2007, Gu Youqi, a young man from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, who grew up by the Yangtze River, officially took up his post after completing his police training.
He was assigned to work at the Pudong Border Inspection Station, the predecessor of the Shanghai Airport Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station (hereinafter referred to as the "Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station"), and plunged into the tide of airport passengers with a "ignorant" face.
At that time, Pudong International Airport had only one terminal, and Gu Youqi was assigned to work at the narrow immigration department. In his eyes, during the afternoon rush hour, "inbound passengers poured into the ** hall like they forgot to turn off the tap water, and the pressure was one after another." ”
Before joining the border inspection team, Gu Youqi imagined that the police "should be like Sherlock Holmes, peeling back the cocoon, deductive reasoning, and then bringing criminals to justice."
However, the sentences I hear every day, "how to fill this card" and "where are our luggage", directly pull Gu Youqi from the "Sherlock Holmes Dream" back to the skinny real world.
The inspector with the fastest verification speed and the highest number of counterfeit documents.
The Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station is mainly responsible for the entry and exit border inspection of personnel and flights at Pudong International Airport. Since the establishment of the station, more than 40,000 people have been seized for various violations of laws and regulations. Currently, the average age of this team is 35 years old.
According to the data provided by the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station to the reporters of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network, taking 2019 before the outbreak of the new crown epidemic as an example, the number of people inspected at the station reached 39.05 million (average daily passenger flow of 10.).70,000 passengers), setting a daily record high of 14 on August 12, 2019330,000 person-times. As of the end of 2023, the station has ranked first in the country in terms of the total number of people entering and exiting the country for 21 consecutive years.
Today, Pudong International Airport's inbound and outbound route network directly reaches more than 100 international navigation points in nearly 50 countries and regions, and there are more than 100 airlines stationed there. The number of foreign passengers entering and exiting through the port is large and complex.
Enter, knock the chapter, enter again, knock the chapter again, ......
At one time, Gu Youqi did not recognize this job in his heart, "I feel like an operator on an assembly line and an airport attendant." The business is so simple, and a college student is afraid that he can't do it?”
At that time, he hadn't really realized: on the three-foot verification platform of the country, the chapters rose and fell, and the heavy burden was tied to himself!
Unexpectedly, a "release order" (independent inspection and release on duty - reporter's note) exam "whipped" him fiercely.
During the examination, Gu Youqi applied for two mainland travel permits for Hong Kong and Macao residents in a row, but the system prompted that the information was incorrect. Due to his nervousness and unfamiliarity with the prescribed procedures, he returned the documents directly to the passengers twice in front of the examiner.
Even though Gu Youqi is now the first-level supervisor of police technology in the 15th team on duty at the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station, with the rank of second-class police inspector on his shoulder on his police uniform, he still clearly remembers the scene when "he was sweating profusely, and the examiners around him frowned and shook their heads again and again".
At first, Gu Youqi stumbled on the verification table to check 1 passenger, and the "fast gunners" in the team had already checked two or three or even four, and there were no mistakes.
Gu Youqi was a little unwilling: "What others can do, I can also do!."After graduating from university with a major in mathematics, he was looking for "finding a breakthrough in numbers".
Gu Youqi began to improve his own process, reduce redundant movements, and increase the speed of inspection and release. The longest time he sat in the verification table for 6 hours, setting a record of more than 1,400 people per day with zero errors.
A year later, Gu Youqi became the fastest and error-free inspector in the team.
Just when Gu Youqi was a little "complacent", the captain found him and said, "Youqi!."You are now ** smooth, fast and good, you can work harder on the identification of fake documents!”
The captain's understatement made Gu Youqi unwilling again.
After that, he found a new direction of research - document research, which became the first transformation in his career.
Since then, Gu Youqi has developed a habit: the first thing he does after going to work is to first browse the case (incident) dynamics and police tips at various ports across the country, and then search for entry and exit hotspots. Whenever he discovers a new seizure, he researches how other inspectors have found suspicious passenger documents.
Because of the fast and good inspection of passengers, in 2010, Gu Youqi became the team leader on duty.
"In 2012, an inadvertent case allowed him to complete his second job transformation.
Once, Gu Youqi saw a copy of the passport information of country B in the background. With the experience of inspecting more than 200,000 inbound passengers and the study of documents, he found that the secret mark on the data page of this passport was missing, and concluded that this passport was very likely to be a fake document.
Then, Gu Youqi retrieved the backstage retention** and found that there were 8 similar fake and suspected passports. These "passport" anti-counterfeiting features are the same as real passports, which is very confusing.
He quickly contacted his brother unit, searched for the map, and found more than 200 copies of this version of fake documents, which effectively prevented criminals from illegally entering and exiting through stealing documents.
At that moment, Gu Youqi suddenly discovered that he could solve the case if he was not at the front desk and did not touch his passport with his own hands!
In 2017, Gu Youqi was transferred to the review team. He is no longer limited to a document and a case, but focuses on the clues behind the case and data analysis.
This "data door" opened for Gu Youqi made him gradually become a "data hunter" hidden behind the scenes.
Through data analysis, Gu Youqi has assisted the public security organs in many places to capture batches of illegal and criminal personnel who have changed their identities, including the fugitives of "Fox Hunting" and "Skynet" who have been absconding for 10 or 20 years, ......
In December 2016, Wang Huibin, deputy captain of the 15th team on duty at the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station, discussed with everyone in the team an information report on the online pursuit of fugitives. Most people feel that the brother unit has been investigated, and this information is of little value.
Gu Youqi doesn't think so.
I saw that his eyes were fixed on the computer screen, his fingers picking at his lips, and he remained silent. Suddenly, he shouted: "You see, this fugitive has been using the changed identity of country c, this is a live fish!."Let's try to check it out!”
A few days later, Gu Youqi discovered that one of the fugitives' companions, Zheng Moumou, also used an illegally obtained passport of country C, and the amount involved was as high as 1 billion yuan.
One month later, the fugitive was captured at the Hangzhou port.
Gu Youqi continued to search through the Internet and found that these people were fraudulently using the identities of the deceased in country C. He thinks there must be something strange in it!
Restricted by the technical conditions at the time, the case was in trouble for a while, which also became a "heart disease" for Gu Youqi.
It was not until 2017 that the entry-exit related system platform was launched nationwide, and he used the new system to dig deeper again for the first time, and found more than 30 people who illegally obtained passports from country C in one fell swoop, of which 5 were fugitives on the domestic Internet.
It was not until this moment that Gu Youqi's "heart disease" was completely eliminated.
From years of rich practical experience, Gu Youqi gradually explored and summarized a set of "document identification + information research and judgment" double-needle "valley embroidery" technique - a large number of analysis of the characteristics of entry and exit documents, and summarize the skills of identifying the authenticity of documents;"Scan" all kinds of data for a comprehensive "physical examination" for entry and exit personnel.
In my eyes, a piece of data information is a silk thread. Gu Youqi said, "I just want to use silk threads to embroider the appearance of criminal suspects." ”
Valley style embroidery", specializing in catching out-of-law fish.
Liu Zhiyong, then head of the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station, introduced that Gu Youqi relied on the "Gu-style embroidery" technique to find out more than 100 people suspected of endangering security in recent years, more than 200 fugitives who changed their identities, and arrested a number of major online fugitives involved in ......1 billion yuan fraudsters, extraordinarily large drug smuggling cases, and people involved in the case worth more than 30 billion yuan to change their identities
Gu Youqi often said: "There is no shortcut to improve business ability, and the most effective way is to rely on tenacity to work on the front line of case handling." ”
For the tenacity of the "embroidered male detective", Shan Zengguang, the fourth-level sergeant of the Political Department of the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station, has a deep understanding. He told about a case handled by Gu Youqi.
In 2016, when Gu Youqi was browsing the information of fugitives on the Internet, he accidentally discovered a case that had been absconding for 18 years and had not been detected.
The party, Shen, who served as the chairman of a large domestic enterprise in 1998, was listed as a key criminal in the online pursuit by the relevant departments because he was involved in smuggling and evading taxes of more than 1,600 yuan, and was suspected of absconding from the country.
After digging deeply, Gu Youqi found that the information of an overseas Chinese was highly suspicious of Shen. Preliminary determination: Shen used his illegally obtained foreign identity to flee abroad, and then frequently changed his passport to sneak in and out in an attempt to bleaching his true identity.
The clue was pushed to the beginning of 2012. The person concerned suddenly disappeared, and the investigation reached an impasse.
Gu Youqi did not give up, he re-combed the entry and exit records of the party and found that "the person had frequently entered and exited a port in the south, and each stay was shorter". So, he spent an all-nighter digging and analyzing the relevant information.
In the end, he locked on Shen again. In April 2016, the relevant departments arrested Shen based on the accurate information provided by Gu Youqi.
The old case that has been sealed for 18 years has come to an end.
Alone in danger, fighting wits and courage with the "snake head".
In 2018, the National Immigration Administration was established, and China's immigration management underwent historic changes. Gu Youqi also ushered in the third transformation of his career.
In order to maintain the security and stability of the national border, he and his comrades-in-arms closely focused on the work goal of "fighting snakeheads, blocking channels, breaking chains, and destroying networks", and walked out of the airport and took the initiative to attack.
In May 2021, a special case supervised by the National Immigration Administration to crack down on illegal border crossing (border) crossings encountered a bottleneck due to a lack of clues and evidence. Gu Youqi was sent by the higher authorities to the southwest border to infiltrate the criminal organization and collect clues and evidence.
Gu Youqi, who was on the night shift, received the task and went home overnight to pack her luggage. Before leaving home, he only said a simple sentence to his wife Lu Juan, who is also an immigration management policeman, "When you go out on a mission, don't hit **".
Before leaving, Wu Peiqing, the captain of the 15th team on duty at the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station, told Gu Youqi, "You must pay attention to safety and return safely!"There are parents and two children in the family that you need to take care of."
In the end, Gu Youqi figured out the basic structure and smuggling route of the criminal gang's domestic organization, and collected key clues.
On the basis of these clues, the border inspection organs of Shanghai and Yunnan and the local public security quickly attacked and eliminated the den where the people who were hiding people who illegally crossed the national (border) border, and seized 13 people who organized smuggling of people, 23 people who illegally crossed the national (border) border, and 4 vehicles involved in the case.
Subsequently, Gu Youqi continued to give full play to the advantages of "Gu-style embroidery" technology, successfully locked down the identity information of the "behind-the-scenes high-level" who was hiding abroad, grasped the criminal facts of his long-term recruitment of domestic personnel to smuggle people abroad to engage in telecommunications network fraud and online gambling, and successfully assisted in the investigation of the case.
When reviewing the case with Gu Youqi, there was a scene that made Wu Peiqing think back to this day, "I am afraid".
At that time, Gu Youqi, disguised as a smuggler, was finally taken to the edge of a reservoir in a barren mountain on the border line. The reservoir is surrounded by mountains, and the signal is extremely poor.
The person who came to the joint told Gu Youqi: "I parked a motorcycle in a place near the reservoir, and as soon as it was dark, I got on the motorcycle and arrived in Myanmar in two minutes." When you arrive in Myanmar, another person will pick you up and take you to another location. ”
Here, Gu Youqi, who was alone, was completely unprotected for a time and was in danger. He fought wits and courage with the "snake head", and finally turned the danger into a disaster and returned safely.
In an interview with a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Network, Gu Youqi said: "Later, many people asked me if I was afraid at that timeTo be honest, the excitement at that time was really far beyond the fear. The first thing that came to my mind was that this case could be solved!”
With me in the country, the mountains and rivers are safe.
Gu Youqi has been awarded 2 first-class merits, 2 second-class merits, and 1 third-class merit, and has won honors such as "National Special Outstanding People's Police" and "National May Day Labor Medal".
In 2023, the national "Qi" Binggu Youqi was elected as the second "Top Ten National Guards" of the National Immigration Management Agency. In the face of the honor, he said: "This golden medal is the highest praise for every immigration management police officer who has worked the front line of the country!"”
