Gangu abduction of women: a self-help text message overturned the black industrial chain, the truth is not so simple as poverty

author:The years are quiet and sunny

In the middle of the night, the police rescued the abducted female college students and just wanted to get into the car, but they were surrounded by villagers who heard the news, and even a black hole hole was pointed at them...

"Save me, I was also kidnapped and sold!" A woman with a big belly staggered out of the house, suddenly fell to her knees, and cried to the policeman who was passing by the door...

When the police arrived at the buyer's house, the abducted woman Xiaohua had died of heavy bleeding from dystocia. The police came one step too late.

Gangu abduction of women: a self-help text message overturned the black industrial chain, the truth is not so simple as poverty
This scene is not a fiction, but a documentary of gangu's 6.15 series of women trafficking cases. Who could have predicted that in just 3 years, 13 foreign women were abducted into the Gangu Mountains, of which only one mentally handicapped woman was "picked up" by the locals, and the rest were lured. It can be said that Gangu has formed a one-stop model of abduction, transportation, trafficking, and re-trafficking, and the exposure of all these evils should start from a self-help text message.

A self-help text message led to a farce of attacking police

On the morning of June 13, 2009, a middle-aged man ran into the Gangu County Public Security Bureau in Gansu Province in a panic and reported to the police that his daughter was likely kidnapped or abducted to Gangu.

It turned out that this father was from Datong County, Qinghai Province, and his name was Wang Yaoqing. Half a month ago, her daughter Xiaoting (pseudonym), who had just graduated from college, went to Xining alone to look for a job, but she mysteriously disappeared. But just a day ago, Xiaoting's sister suddenly received a strange text message, feeling that Xiaoting must have been controlled.

While taking out his daughter's photo, Wang Father took out his mobile phone to let the police read the text message above: Sister, Zhuangergou Village, Jinchuan Township, Pan'an Town, Gangu County, Gansu Province, go to the largest public security bureau in Qinghai as soon as possible to call the police, help, Ting, don't be in danger.

Immediately Gangu police contacted the Pan'an town government to understand the situation, and sure enough, Cheng Junding, a villager in The Fork River Yu Society in Zhuangergou Village, just spent 136 million yuan to buy a new daughter-in-law, and I heard that she was still a female college student. So is this new daughter-in-law Xiaoting?

Without delay, Tian Xiaohong, the captain of the first squadron of the Gangu Criminal Police Brigade, rushed to Zhuangergou Village with 4 teammates immediately, but their hearts were extremely heavy, because this was not the first time that the police had been sent to rescue abducted women.

Gangu County belongs to Tianshui City, because of its harsh geographical environment, since ancient times there is a saying of "ten ditches and nine slopes, the cultivated land rolls cattle", and the ancestors have been suffering in the poor ravines for generations.

Local women are frightened by poverty and choose to marry more, so that in some remote mountain villages in the local area, there are more men and fewer women, and men cannot find daughters-in-law. Local men do not want to beat single sticks have to spend money to buy a daughter-in-law, as for where the daughter-in-law comes from, no one pursues, no one calls the police, anyway, can be passed on to the generation.

Therefore, the Gangu police began to crack down on the crime of abducting and trafficking women in the first two years, and in 2008 successfully cracked a gang that specialized in abducting women from Xi'an to Gangu. However, the main suspect responsible for finding the buyer, Ding Wanyuan, absconded and has not yet been caught.

Tian Xiaohong and others knew that the local villagers were shielding each other from buying and selling their daughters-in-law, so they chose to enter the village late at night when the villagers were asleep. At first, everything went smoothly, they found Cheng Dingjun's house and knocked on the door, showed their documents and entered the house to search, and found that the young woman curled up on the clay kang was Xiaoting in the photo.

Xiaoting saw the police crying with relief, but just when Tian Xiaohong and others wanted to evacuate with Xiaoting, a shocking scene appeared.

It turned out that the police car was discovered by the villagers as soon as it entered the village, so the men who were related to each other, or even the daughter-in-law of the family, who were also bought, quietly surrounded the Cheng family with steel pipes, sticks and other instruments, because saving the Daughter-in-law of the Cheng family was equivalent to saving their own daughter-in-law.

Tian Xiaohong took out a certificate to confirm her identity and asked the villagers to cooperate with the work, but the villagers did not buy it, and all kinds of clamor rose and fell.

"We can't read and don't know what's written on it!"

"Now that there are more fake cops, who knows if you're really mean?"

"If you don't leave anyone behind, no one should think of leaving the village!"

Tian Xiaohong and others saw that the villagers were getting more and more excited, and quickly escorted Xiaoting into the police car. Some villagers lay in front of the police car and played tricks to prevent the police car from moving forward, and some villagers smashed the instruments in their hands at the police car, and Tian Xiaohong and others had to contact their superiors to wait for rescue.

In the confusion, Nakata Xiaohong and others have been injured by the villagers, two of whom are seriously injured, fortunately, more than a dozen police cars have arrived quickly with sirens, but the villagers not only did not stop but attacked more fiercely. This police farce did not end until 9 a.m. the next day, and the trapped police and Xiaoting were successfully rescued.

On the same day, the story was spread in Gangu, and a man in Gangu County wanted to flee in a hurry when he heard the news, but as soon as he started the motorcycle throttle, he was pulled off the motorcycle by the police and knocked to the ground. The man's heart was cold, and he secretly exclaimed: "This son is finished, it is estimated that his life is not guaranteed!" "A series of major cases have begun.

A series of cases drawn out by a thank-you letter

After Xiaoting was saved, she told the story of the experience of more than half a month of looking back. It turned out that Xiaoting was a fresh graduate of a university in Qinghai, and on May 27, in the central square of Xining, she encountered 3 men in police uniforms asking for directions, and simply responded to a few words.

Who knew that the next day, Xiaoting met the 3 men in the central square, and there was a police car parked next to them. One of the men took the initiative to greet Xiaoting and introduced himself as a member of the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing, who had come to Xining to investigate the employment of college students.

As soon as Xiaoting heard that the other party was a policeman, she did not have the slightest doubt about her rather lame Mandarin, and she introduced her situation without any defense. When the man heard that Xiaoting had not yet found a suitable job, he immediately enthusiastically said that he had acquaintances in the Xining Public Security Bureau and could help Xiaoting enter the Public Security Bureau.

Being a police officer is quite tempting for a female college student from a rural area, so Xiaoting immediately warmed up with the man and excitedly left her phone number to go back to wait for the news. It's just that Xiaoting didn't expect that this blind trust almost ruined her life.

Unexpectedly, in the evening of the same day, Xiaoting received a text message from the man, saying that the matter of finding a job had already been eyebrows, and she quickly went to the train station to interview the details. Xiaoting didn't think much of it and went as promised. Xiaoting came to the station square and saw that the man was still standing next to a strange man who was also wearing a police uniform, and after introduction, she learned that this person was the cousin of Zhang Zhang, the criminal police team leader of a public security substation in Xining.

It turned out that Captain Zhang had promised to arrange work for Xiaoting, but there was an emergency to return to his hometown in Gansu, and it just so happened that his cousin also returned to Gansu, so he took Xiaoting to Gansu to meet Captain Zhang to implement the work problem.

Perhaps Xiaoting believed in the identity of the police too much, and actually followed the two men to the car without hesitation, and did not even think of informing her family of her whereabouts. Halfway through the car, Xiaoting was so sleepy that she wanted to squint her eyes and take a nap, but she did not expect to fall asleep, and when she woke up, it was three o'clock in the morning, and the car had entered Gangu County.

The two men said that they were too tired after driving for 7 hours, so they had to find a small hotel on the side of the road to rest. Xiaoting found that her mobile phone was lost at this time, but she couldn't remember where it was lost, so she had to follow the two men into the hotel.

Soon Captain Zhang came to the hotel as promised, saw Xiaoting looking up and down and felt very satisfied, he patted his chest and said that Xiaoting's work was wrapped up in him, let Xiaoting stay in the hotel first, and wait for a return to Xining to go through the entry procedures.

Simple Xiaoting only cared about excitement, did not think that she and Captain Zhang did not know each other, how much face can captain Zhang come to the hotel in the middle of the night? I didn't think about Captain Zhang going back to his hometown for a vacation, why did he still wear a police uniform and walk around? Xiaoting was blindly immersed in the joy of the dream coming true, but she did not know that she had already been sold by Captain Zhang to the erdao dealers Li Shilai and Li Siwa, and then sold to Cheng Dingjun of Zhuangergou Village as a daughter-in-law.

When Xiaoting was sent to Zhuangergou Village and saw a group of people preparing for the wedding, she suddenly realized that she had been abducted and sold, and it was too late to run, so she was forced to become the new daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. In addition to the cruel aggression of the so-called "husband", Xiaoting's torture was also closely monitored and intimidated by the relatives of the Cheng family.

Xiaoting knew that she was in the depths of the mountains, and it was as difficult as ascending to the sky if she wanted to run out, and she might even be caught and beaten before she left the village, but she did not give up the idea of waiting for an opportunity to escape. After all, Xiaoting received higher education and did not want to spend her life in a remote mountain village.

So Xiaoting pretended to be submissive, took advantage of the Cheng family to relax their vigilance to set out the specific information of Zhuang'ergou Village, and then took advantage of the gap between the Cheng family relatives who took turns to watch over her go to the toilet, used the relative's mobile phone to send the self-help text message to her sister, and then deleted the text message record in time.

Xiaoting finally waited for the police to come to the door to rescue her in a state of anxiety. Xiaoting regretted her ignorance and credulous trust in strangers, but also thanked the police for their strong assistance, so she wrote a thank-you letter to the Gansu Public Security Department, which mentioned in passing: "There are still many women who have been abducted and sold to the mountainous areas of Gangu County." ”

Gangu abduction of women: a self-help text message overturned the black industrial chain, the truth is not so simple as poverty

The Gansu Public Security Department attached great importance to this and quickly set up a special case team for the 6.15 trafficking of women in Gangu to divide the soldiers into two roads, all the way to hunt down the suspects involved in trafficking and resale, and all the way to rescue the abducted women who were trapped in the quagmire.

The man who was arrested by the police mentioned above was named Shi Junhong, who was the bad guy who kidnapped Xiaoting in a fake police uniform, and soon 4 suspects, including Li Shilai and Li Siwa, who were hiding around, were also arrested. And Ding Xiangyuan, who was quite cunning and still participated in the Shi Junhong gang during the absconding period, was also arrested under the police's 5-day and 6-night offensive in the rain.

From June 15 to July 3, the police who rescued abducted women also successfully rescued 13 abducted women from remote mountain villages such as Gupo Township, Wujiahe Township and Pan'an Town in Gangu County, including 4 female college students and even students.

Comparatively speaking, Xiaoting's encounter was the luckiest of these unfortunate women, who could be quickly rescued by the police, and the inhuman torture endured by other women was even more humiliating.

Gangu abduction of women: a self-help text message overturned the black industrial chain, the truth is not so simple as poverty

For example, the little flower who died due to difficult childbirth was tricked by Shi Junhong from Lanzhou to Gangu in 2008 in the name of washing hot springs. Later, he was bought by an old couple surnamed Wang in Yanghe Village to be their son's daughter-in-law.

It is said that Xiaohua was carried to the Wang family. Because Xiaohua, who tried to escape, was beaten by Shi Junhong and other crowds, he had been beaten to the point where he had no good place to go, and the one who beat him the hardest was Ding Xiangyuan, the oldest. However, even though Xiaohua was already covered in scales and unable to move, she was still forcibly carried into the cave and became the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.

On June 26, gangu police were busy rescuing abducted women, and Xiaohua also arrived at the critical moment of the pot, and the old couple surnamed Wang, in order to save money, found a midwife in the village to deliver Xiaohua. Who expected that Xiaohua suddenly had symptoms of dystocia during the production process, and she was cut off due to heavy bleeding before she could be sent to the hospital.

Because most of the villagers were tight-lipped about who had bought a daughter-in-law, Xiaohua eventually missed the opportunity to be rescued. What is even more tragic is that no one can say the specific identity information of Xiaohua, and the police have to extract biological material from her body for DNA testing, and then compare it through the DNA database of the Ministry of Public Security to find Xiaohua's family. A woman in her prime was gone.

Deep reflection

It is clear that Shi Junhong, Ding Xiangyuan and others have formed a black industrial chain of abducting and selling women. So what means do they use to abduct women? Why didn't these abducted women choose to run away, and even some were willing to stay after being rescued? And why did the local people in Gangu acquiesce in the secret breeding of this illegal black industrial chain?

First, the lack of social experience blind credulity is not a clever deception.

Data analysis has been made based on the cases of trafficking in women in Gangu from 2006 to 2009. Maybe someone will shout when they look at it: "Can it be so simple and deceitful?" ”

Gangu abduction of women: a self-help text message overturned the black industrial chain, the truth is not so simple as poverty

Indeed, the deception of Shi Junhong and others is not clever, that is, under the pretext of going out to play, fall in love, accompany relatives and friends, or pretend to be a public security officer to find a job, but they deceive ignorant women. Because Shi Junhong and others mostly choose simple girls who are young, have little involvement in the world at a glance, and lack social experience. Such girls are generally poorly defended and are easier to be tricked.

Some people may question whether there are still 4 female college students among them? Are they knowledgeable and fooled? In fact, just like Xiaoting, a person's degree of knowledge is not equivalent to rich social experience, and even some students blindly concentrate on their studies, and they can really say that they know nothing about social knowledge. For example, a few years ago, a graduate student was abducted by a 16-year-old girl who had not even graduated from junior high school to a remote mountain village.

Let's look at the abduction experience of the other 3 female college students in the Gangu case. On April 24, 2009, Xiao Ju (pseudonym), a junior at Qinghai Jiaotong University, was deceived by Shi Junhong and others pretending to be police officers to gangu on the pretext of looking for a job at a talent market recruitment fair, and sold it to a villager in Haoshao village of Panshi Town as his wife.

On May 6, 2009, Mai La (pseudonym), a Sichuan girl who graduated from a university in Qinghai, was tricked into eating at a restaurant by Shi Junhong, who pretended to be a policeman, on the pretext of looking for a job, and then forcibly stuffed her into a car and sent to Gangu while Maila was drunk, and then sold by Ding Genyuan to a villager in The village of Dianzi in the countryside of Gupo as his wife.

On June 9, 2009, Renzi (pseudonym), a female college student in Hualong County, Qinghai, was deceived into gangu by Shi Junhong, who pretended to be just investigated, and others in the name of playing and visiting friends, and sold it to a villager in Yanghe Village, Wujiah river township as his wife.

Shi Junhong and others use fake police uniforms, fake police cars and other props, which can indeed give people a sense of trustworthiness, but under careful consideration, their deception process is not without loopholes. It's just that the young girls who have not yet entered the society or have just stepped into the society are almost defenseless, and it is not easy to see through the tricks of the liars.

Second, the plight of trafficked women cannot get out.

Most of the trafficked women are sent to mountainous areas where traffic is blocked, and in some places there are even no cars. It is conceivable that a woman who is not familiar with life, if she wants to run out of the mountain alone, how difficult it will be, it is estimated that she will either get lost halfway or be caught and beaten. What's more, because the abducted woman was closely guarded by the buyer, or even the whole village helped to monitor, it was estimated that it would be difficult for her to get out of that house.

Moreover, most of the women who were abducted were used by the buyers as a tool for passing on the family, and there was no emotion at all, so many buyers did not care whether these women were alive or dead, either imprisoning them in a closed and narrow room, or using iron chains to pillars, as long as the women could have children. It can be said that the situation of abducted women is like a purgatory on earth, either tortured into madness or insensitive.

Gangu abduction of women: a self-help text message overturned the black industrial chain, the truth is not so simple as poverty

Cao Xiaoqing (pseudonym), a female college student in Sichuan, was abducted into the mountains, sold three times in 15 years, gave birth to 2 children, and was beaten to the point of insanity.

Don't these unfortunate women want to run? In fact, everyone wants to escape the cage, even if the delirious Cao Xiaoqing scribbles on the wall, the most eye-catching one is the word "run", but the chances of them successfully escaping are too small.

Therefore, many abducted women choose to compromise, especially after giving birth to children, it is more difficult to give up the mother-child relationship. What's more, many abducted women have long been subjected to various inhuman tortures, and their mental numbness has long formed a psychological state of "learned helplessness".

"Learned helplessness" comes from an animal experiment by an American scientist who put a dog in a cage and gave the dog an unbearable electric shock every time the beep sounded. Dogs cannot escape the cage and can only passively accept electric shock torture. But after a long time, after the scientists beeped, they first opened the cage door and then applied an electric shock. The dog, who could have actively escaped, desperately waited for the electric shock to come, and fell to the ground trembling in fear.

Abducted women have long been tortured by helplessness and despair, and have long been disabled and have lost their sense of resistance. Therefore, some abducted women still choose to return to buyers even if they are rescued, not only because they are reluctant to have children, but also because they have already formed habits and dependence on buyers. There are very few women who have been trafficked who know how to wait for opportunities to save themselves like Xiaoting.

Third, is poverty really the only cause?

When we look back at the Sigangu series of women abduction cases, we will find that it is not only the buyers and sellers who have committed evil, but also the invisible shelter of the villagers in the surrounding townships. Some people once thought that Gangu was too poor to cause too many bare sticks in the local area.

Of course, poverty is indeed a major source, but even if the Gangu Mountains are poor, there are still many people who go out to work to earn money to marry and have children, so do not use poverty as a shield to justify the crime of abducting and trafficking women.

In fact, we carefully study the root causes of nothing more than the following two roots.

1, the local sky-high bride price.

Although the Gangu Mountains are not rich, they prevail a custom of constantly increasing prices, and at that time, it took about tens of thousands of yuan to marry a normal daughter-in-law, which was indeed not a sky-high price that ordinary farmers could afford. Therefore, many older young men are willing to risk spending 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to buy a daughter-in-law, not only saving money, but even sometimes meeting a beautiful female college daughter-in-law.

Therefore, buying a daughter-in-law in the Gangu Mountains has become a collective behavior, neither people feel strange, nor do people feel that something is wrong, but instead they are bold and cooperate with each other. If we return to the attack on the police when the police rescued Xiaoting, we can understand the unreasonable actions of the villagers. Perhaps "the law does not blame the public" has made the villagers' luck psychology more intense.

2, traffickers can easily get huge profits.

The whole world is in the interests of the future, and Shi Junhong and others are of course unprofitable. For example, they mostly use gang crimes, selling a woman can earn an average of 7500 yuan, and each person can share more than 2000 yuan. As a second-way dealer, the profit is even more abundant, just by contacting the mouth, you can earn an average of nearly 7500 yuan from each woman. Shi Junhong and others could not resist the temptation to make money so easily, but their greed and enjoyment were based on the pain of abducted women.

In fact, this situation is not unique in the whole country, as early as 2000, Jiangsu Siyang had ended a black industrial chain of abducting and trafficking of women, involving up to 210 suspects, the scope of abduction has involved the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan, and the buyers include Suzhou, Lu, Anhui, Hubei and Xinjiang, and its scale was once known as the "Northern Jiangsu Population Wholesale Market". In the final analysis, buyer poverty is only the inducement, and profit is the most fundamental source of evil.

epilogue

In 2010, the court sentenced Shi Junhong, Ding Xiangyuan and seven other main offenders to death, suspended death or life imprisonment in the first instance, while the remaining 10 accessories were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 14 years, 12 years and 11 years, respectively, and fined and confiscated all personal property. It seems that the 6.15 abduction and trafficking of women in Gangu has been settled, but the warning it has left us is thought-provoking.

Although poverty is the cause, in the final analysis, it is the backwardness and ignorance of the people in the case. Trafficked women are confused by small profits such as playing because their field of vision is too small. Shi Junhong and others went astray because they were ignorant of how to blindly drill the camp and get it without work.

There are also those buyers who, because of ignorance, only regard women as tools for inheritance, never think that marriage needs love, and blindly stubbornly think that women will fight if they are disobedient, and tame when they fight. Therefore, this absurd cognition of the buyer has become an accomplice of Shi Junhong and others, and even many women in the same village have taken the initiative to brainwash and persuade the abducted women, which is really an indescribable sadness.

If we want to change this phenomenon, we must start from the aspects of social awareness education, legal education, and prevention awareness education. Nowadays, there is no phenomenon of trafficking in women in Gangu, but the sequelae left behind have not been completely eliminated, but I hope that people will remember these pains, and I hope that there will be no abduction in the world!
