In the 1990s, due to the lack of public monitoring equipment and the emergence of regional security management problems, but the worst was the problem of human trafficking, and at that time, due to the influence of family planning policies and the feudal remnants of patriarchalism, traffickers such as traffickers appeared.
There is such a heinous human trafficker, she and her husband and her gang have taken 85 women, children and babies to other areas for sale 65 times, and after the trafficker's accomplices were caught by the police, she mysteriously disappeared and disappeared. Where did this female criminal go, where did she hide, and how was she eventually caught by the police?
Guchang Town, which is now subordinate to The Rongchang District of Chongqing City, was still under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province at that time, but in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were many cases of disappearance of children and women in Rongchang County, Chongqing.
Just as he was talking to an acquaintance, he turned around and found that Cuicui was gone. Cuicui's disappearance has upset the family. Yang Shengqun, who originally had bad eyesight, was blinded by excessive crying due to sadness. Just when the police were trying their best to solve the case, a villager named Li Zhaoying reported that his son was missing, most likely sold.
The succession of missing young children has attracted the attention of the local police. In 1992, the Rongchang County Public Security Bureau of Chongqing Municipality set up a special working group to thoroughly investigate the serious cases of human trafficking in the local area, and in May of that year, the Rongchang County Public Security Bureau of Chongqing Municipality, the Anti-Abduction Office received feedback from the masses: There is a family-style criminal gang for trafficking in human beings in Yanjiaqiao Village, Guchang Town, which specializes in abducting women and babies to sell at high prices in Henan Province for illegal profits.
The Rongchang County Public Security Bureau quickly dispatched police to carry out a secret investigation. Three months later, a huge human trafficking case that shocked the whole country at the time surfaced: a family-style criminal gang that trafficked 85 women, children and babies from Rongchang County to Henan province for sale 65 times from February 1986 to 1992.
What is even more heinous is that they also take advantage of the fear of being fined after the birth of rural people, and buy babies everywhere in the countryside at the price of 1,000 yuan for male babies, 500 yuan for female babies or even 150 yuan, and sometimes even steal other people's newborn babies and sell them to people in Henan at a price of thousands of yuan.
On the night of August 7, 1992, on the basis of a large amount of evidence, the Rongchang County Public Security Bureau organized a large number of policemen to take advantage of the cover of night to go to Yanjiaqiao Village and arrest the main backbone members of the gang. In 1993, the Rongchang County Public Security Bureau went to Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, Inner Mongolia and other places to arrest 27 criminal suspects one by one.
In the following years, the public security police dug deep and carefully investigated, so that the 42 people involved in the case were arrested one after another, and they were executed, suspended, life imprisonment and fixed-term imprisonment. According to his confession, his wife was also a human trafficker, but combined with the arrest in Chongqing and the whole country, the female criminal was not found, Chen Dingqi said that his wife's name was Peng Hongju, and it was the husband and wife who began the "business" of human trafficking.
However, since the arrest on the night of August 7, 1992, Peng Hongju has disappeared, as if the human world has evaporated. Who is this Peng Hongju, why did she embark on such a sinful criminal road, and where did Peng Hongju flee after 1992?
As mentioned earlier, the phenomenon of overbirth in rural China in the last century was relatively common, many families were two or even more children, Peng Hongju herself was also a supernatural household, two children in succession, for her own supernatural children, she also knew that she and the adopter performed legal adoption procedures, but at that time there was a common illegal transaction in buying and selling children on the black market, Peng Hongju knew that supernatural children faced high fines, many rural people could not pay money, and could only entrust people to deal with children.
Peng Hongju then moved the so-called "money" idea, she and her husband sold children for the first time, Peng Hongju net income of more than two hundred yuan. At that time, more than two hundred yuan was a month's salary of township institutions or civil servants, and Peng Hongju was ecstatic after receiving the money, and she did not hesitate to embark on this road full of evils.
Peng Hongju and his gang mainly looked for those peasants who had overspring, and took advantage of their fear of government fines to trick them into saying that they would find a good family to raise their children on their behalf, and that they would come back when they were older, so that after some peasants handed over their children to them, they would never see their own flesh and blood again. Peng Hongju mainly selects healthy children to sell, but when the "business" is not good, they will also coax the parents of sick children, saying that they will find a family who is willing to pay for the treatment of children, and after buying sick children for dozens of yuan, they will dress up the children and go to Henan and other places to find buyers to cheat money.
If the buyer recognizes it, they throw the child away, regardless of the child's life and death. In August 1991, Peng Hongju and her husband, Chen Dingqi, trafficked a baby boy less than 100 days old to Henan. Before the child could get rid of his hand, he found that the child had a high fever. Peng Hongju said that later she also "did not know" the fate of the child.
In this way, Peng Hongju took other people's children as commodities and bought and sold them. Sometimes when supply is tight, they even steal other people's children to sell. Fast forward to 1992, after investigation, the Rongchang County Public Security Bureau quickly grasped the family-style human trafficking criminal gang with He Jigao, Peng Hongju, Li Zhaoyu and other 7 people as the backbone elements. After conducting a large number of investigations and collecting evidence, the police arrested the criminal gang, arresting dozens of gang members that night, and 6 of the 7 backbones were arrested.
The six main offenders confessed that from 1986 to 1992, they had taken 85 women, infants and young children from Rongchang County to Henan and other places for sale on 65 occasions. Thanks to the efforts of the police, dozens of abducted children returned safely to their parents, and the four-year-old girl Cuicui was also rescued and returned home, but the police handling the case at the time were not relieved, and the case was not completely closed, because one of the seven main criminals, Peng Hongju, was not caught.
The police of the special case group are well aware of Peng Hongju's weight, because four of the seven main criminals were shot, but the most important mastermind was at large, Peng Hongju was not arrested for a day, and the police of these special case groups refused to relax for a day, but where did Peng Hongju flee.
On August 7, 1992, Peng Hongju was not at home beforehand, and while she was away, she was responsible for "handling" the trafficked children in other places. Peng Hongju did not know this, and she took the 200 yuan she got from selling children in Henan that night on the train home. The police operated overnight to arrest and bring to justice 6 other key members of the gang.
Just as Peng Hongju got off the bus, she was told by another gang member waiting on the platform that the police were arresting her. Peng Hongju panicked, she was so frightened that she did not dare to get out of the platform, but fled along the direction of the rails. Peng Hongju, who had become a frightened bird, fled north to Inner Mongolia to work in a brick factory in a remote rural area.
The severe crackdown by the public security organs has brought her tremendous mental pressure. She assumed the pseudonym "Huang Shiying" and became anonymous. Time has passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, 6 years have passed since the cracking of the 8.07 mega-human trafficking case. In 1998, an insider called local police in Chongqing saying there were clues that Peng Hongju was in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. When the police in Chongqing tracked down Baotou, locals reported that there was indeed a woman with a Sichuan accent who had stayed here, but had been gone for several years. The clue that was hard to come by was broken.
A full decade has passed from 1992 to 2002, and the police investigation has continued, but Peng Hongju has not been found. At this time, Peng Hongju was also very tormented, she was alone outside, on the one hand, she did not have a skill, could not find a stable job, on the other hand, she was an important criminal wanted by the whole country, if she went to the town to appear, she would inevitably be discovered by the outside world, she could only choose to hide in the remote mountains and rural areas.
Baotou, Inner Mongolia, she has indeed been there, and it can be described as a difficult life in the local area. During the introduction of others, went to a brick factory to work, do physical work, but after a period of work, Peng Hongju found that this is a "black factory", his hard work during the day but can not exchange for much income, have been withheld by the people in the factory, and their identity can not be exposed, can only be dumb to eat Huang Lian, there is pain can not be said.
However, what makes Peng Hongju even more desperate is that he has committed numerous crimes of trafficking in human beings, and in the end, his own human trafficker has been abducted and sold. It turned out that in Inner Mongolia, in Inner Mongolia, Peng Hongju met a young man who claimed to be a Sichuan Mianzhu person. Half a month later, the little fellow told her that she could introduce Peng Hongju to work in a factory in Shanxi. Peng Hongju was convinced of this "little fellow"'s words.
Where did she expect that this "little fellow" and herself were all the way to the goods, a part-time human trafficker! He took Peng Hongju to the very remote and impoverished village of Duoyin in Hequ County, on the border between Shanxi Province and Inner Mongolia, and sold it to an old single stick who made a living by herding sheep for others. Zhao Mou, a shepherd who spent 3,500 yuan to buy a daughter-in-law, is a well-known old single stick in the local area. For the first few days, Peng Hongju was unaware of his situation, and only later did he realize that he had been sold.
She was stunned at once, and she couldn't come back for half a day. During this period, she also wanted to escape, but she couldn't find the way, and she didn't run far before she found out, and after Zhao caught Peng Hongju back, it was inevitably a severe beating, and warned her not to think about running. After several failed escapes, Peng Hongju was beaten several times, and since then he has never dared to act rashly.
The panic of the outlaws, the anger of being abducted, and the downfall of being imprisoned crushed Peng Hongju. She fell ill, was bedridden for two years, and had just turned 40 when she developed high blood pressure and cerebral thrombosis. In the long-term torment of illness and the extreme despair of the spirit, Peng Hongju fell ill, and even walking became a problem, becoming a cripple and becoming a cripple. Peng Hongju, who was once radiant, dramatically tasted being abducted and sold.
Sick and afraid of being discovered by the police, Peng Hongju has not entered the city once in 12 years, and has only taken 3 baths. It wasn't until before the Spring Festival in 2003 that she begged Zhao Rongxiu to sell her family's donkey and buy a television set, which gave her the opportunity to learn about the outside world. Peng Hongju said that she is willing to see Sichuantai because she misses home and wants her relatives.
In 2004, it was reported that there was a woman named "Huang Shiying" in the local village of Hequ County, Shanxi, who was a foreigner, and she was very similar to the criminal wanted by the police on TV, and the police in Chongqing Municipality immediately retrieved the case file of that year and organized a special police force to go to Shanxi to investigate. In order not to scare the snake, with the full cooperation of the Hequ County police, several policemen took advantage of the darkness to enter the village of Seizing The Seal located in a remote mountainous area, and found Zhao Rongxiu, the sheep mentioned by the insider.
After questioning, Zhao Rongxiu said that his wife's name was indeed Huang Shiying and that she was from Sichuan. When the police pushed the door open, a woman lying on her stomach watching TV heard the knock on the door and turned to look sideways. In the dim light, the police saw her face clearly.
Although after 12 years, although the woman in front of her is fatter than Peng Hongju in the photo, the police in Chongqing still recognize her. Peng Hongju, who had been on the run for 12 years, did not expect that the police in her hometown would suddenly appear in front of her when the festive atmosphere of the 2004 New Year had not yet dissipated. But at this moment, Peng Hongju no longer has the worries and fears of being chased by the police, and now being caught is more of a relief, because she herself is physically and mentally exhausted, and almost every day in the past 12 years has been torture.
On the escort road, in order to ensure the safety of the escort and the prisoner, considering that Peng Hongju was not in good health, the female police brought some medicines, all of which were used on Peng Hongju. At the hotel, Peng Hongju, who was covered in lice, took a bath and changed into the clean clothes given to her by the police.
Dressed in clean clothes, Peng Hongju actually cried, saying that she had only taken 3 baths in 12 years, and she had not washed them clean. In the Detention Center of the Rongchang County Public Security Bureau, Peng Hongju, who was detained here, told reporters: "I have been too much of a failure in my life, I am so old, I have nothing, my home is gone, my husband is gone, I have nothing, I blame myself, I should not have taken that road in the first place, I should not have gone to find that money in my conscience, I should not have abducted and sold others."
I hope that the government will forgive my crimes, and I also want to say a word to my little daughter, read well to have success, even if the books are not good, I must be honest and honest, and never do wrong things like me. ”
During the trial, the public prosecution alleged that from February 1986 to August 1992, Peng Hongju, together with Chen Dingqi, Chen Dinghai, and others, bought overborn children or abandoned babies in Rongchang County and Dazu County on 13 occasions and took them to Yuanyang County, Henan Province, to sell them, and that a total of 16 babies were abducted and sold, and one of the baby girls was abandoned due to illness.
In addition, Peng Hongju, together with others, has twice "sold" the pregnant woman Yang Mou. The public prosecution held that Peng Hongju's behavior had violated the Criminal Law and that he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of human trafficking. Peng Hongju initially refused to admit the prosecution's allegations, saying that he had only participated in the abduction and trafficking of a baby, and was mainly responsible for taking care of the baby during the period, doing some things such as changing diapers and breastfeeding. But in the face of strong evidence, she finally admitted that she had abducted 11 babies, but did not abduct Yang Mou, a pregnant woman, and 5 other babies.
But in fact, as many as 17 babies were abducted and sold by her hands, and a guizhou woman was also sold to Yuanyang County, Henan Province, for 1,800 yuan by her and another gang member in the name of introducing jobs. Peng Hongju was eventually sentenced to death, and on January 18, 2004, Peng Hongju, a trafficker listed by the Ministry of Public Security as a ministerial supervisor for abducting women and children, was arrested and arrested in the village of Duoyin in Hequ County, Shanxi Province, after 12 years on the run. With her arrest, the 807 mega-trafficking case in Rongchang County, Chongqing City, which shocked the whole country in 1992, finally came to a successful end.
