On January 10, 1997, a terrible shout woke up the quiet Xinji Market in Hebei Province. Residents living near the Xinghua Road Rural Cooperative Foundation business site heard the shouting "Someone robbed" and immediately arrived at their destinations.
I saw a silver-gray cash truck parked in front of the business point, and several staff members escorting the money were shot several times and fell on the snow, and the blood flowing out stained the entire snow red. The police who received the report quickly rushed to the scene of the blockade to investigate.
But the police found no other information except for an empty car abandoned by the robbers. In this way, the tragedy became a suspense case, and it was not until 23 years later that the police finally found the murderer. And the identity of this murderer is even more surprising, he is actually Zhao Zhiyong, deputy director of the executive bureau of the Yuhua District Court in Shijiazhuang!
From a vicious murderer to a respected deputy director, this is really "mouse into cat", how did Zhao Zhiyong do it? And what happened on that cold morning 23 years ago?
Tianjiazhuang Township in Xinji
At about 8:00 a.m. on January 10, 1997, a staff member from the municipal seed company found He Dalin, who was working at a rural school in Tianjiazhuang Township, Xinji City, and asked He Dalin to follow him, saying, "Something happened to your sister He Xuemei." He Dalin's heart clucked, even if he did not want to believe it, but his brother-in-law also worked at the city seed company, and the people who came from the brother-in-law's unit should not deceive themselves.
Therefore, He Dalin had to suppress the panic in his heart and followed the staff to the car. Along the way, He Dalin kept asking, "What's wrong with my sister?" "But the staff only said that they didn't know, just came to pick him up and go to the city."
He Dalin was worried, and his heart constantly begged his sister to be safe, and he was really uneasy in his heart, so he continued to inquire about his sister's situation. The staff was silent, and when they were finally about to reach their destination, the staff said to He Dalin with a heavy face: "Your sister is dead, killed." ”
He Da Lin suddenly sat there, with a sunny face, it was difficult for him to accept this news, and he was much older in an instant. His sister, who had a good relationship with him, was killed, and He Dalin only felt sad and angry. He Dalin trembled and walked to the guest house, where he learned about the murder of his sister.
Just over an hour ago, He Xuemei, as usual, and her colleagues rode in the silver-gray cash truck to the Xinghua Road Rural Cooperative Foundation business site in Xinji City. A group of people were talking and laughing in the car, not realizing that a killing was waiting for them near the business site.
Soon after, the silver-gray Cherokee Jeep, carrying 790,000 yuan in cash, arrived at its destination. He Xuemei and other staff escorting the banknotes got out of the car and stood at the rear of the cash truck, preparing to carry the boxes containing cash.
Just at this moment, a bullet roared past, and He Xuemei, who had just taken the box, was hit in the head, and she fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, and the blood flowing out stained the ground red. Other colleagues who were still working did not react for a while, and could only look at He Xuemei, who was shot and killed.
Not long after, a colleague shouted bitterly: "Killed!" Someone robbed! At the same time, five robbers who had been ambushed around earlier ran from not far away, wearing black masks and guns in their hands, and as they approached the cash truck, they fired wildly.
The staff in charge of transporting the money had no time to run, and could only be buried under the gun of the robbers, the picture was bloody and cruel, and even the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood. The robbers had a clear division of labor, one driving, and the other four quickly picked up the boxes inside the cash truck. After getting the box, the five robbers jumped into the car and quickly fled the scene.
After the case, the police quickly came to the scene, counted the identities of the victims, and informed their families, so He Dalin learned the news an hour later. At the time of the statistics, the civilian police are also conducting investigations.
According to the situation at the scene, the victim was completely unilaterally slaughtered, which shows that the robbers were planned and organized to rob, and from the situation that He Xuemei was simply and neatly shot in the head, there should be a robber with accurate marksmanship and a strong heart among the robbers.
Tire marks on the snow
Because there was snow on the ground at that time, the wheels left traces on it, so the police followed this trace and tracked it all the way forward, but they found that something was wrong, because there was a section of snow on the road, full of footprints. Later, when I inquired about the surrounding residents, I learned that when the robbers were fleeing, they threw money outside the car, and the passing masses did not know what was happening, and they went forward to pick it up, which became what it is now.
In this way, the robbers also have excellent anti-reconnaissance capabilities, which hinder the pursuit of civilian police. But the police did not give up, and finally found an empty car left by the robbers in an orchard in Beixiaochen Village. And due to the limitations of technology at that time, no matter how the police investigated, they could not find the murderer, just like that, the robbers took the stolen money, the human world evaporated, and this vicious and vicious robbery case also became a suspense case.
23 years ago, the scene of the crime has changed
It was not until 2020 that the country successively carried out the "Bright Sword 2020" special activities to combat and rectify the case, and this unsolved case was solved. After the special activities were carried out, Xinji Market also began to systematically search for unsolved cases in the past, so the vicious robbery cases that had caused a sensation in the city were once again displayed in front of everyone.
With the development of the country, criminal investigation technology has also been innovated, the police use new technology, from the empty car found that year, found some biological features, along this direction to find, the police quickly locked several suspects, and successfully arrested one of the robbers "Liu Moukui".
After Liu Moukui was arrested and arrested by the police, he immediately confessed to the other four people who had robbed with him 23 years ago, and the identity of one of them surprised the police, he was Zhao Zhiyong, deputy director of the court's executive bureau.
Zhao Zhiyong, born in September 1969, under the influence of his father, decided to become a soldier in the army. After meeting the requirements for joining the army, Zhao Zhiyong immediately participated in the selection of conscription and successfully became a soldier. In the army, Zhao Zhiyong actively trained and was a well-known "Desperate Sanlang" in the army, and in the process of serving, he was exposed to the legal science that affected his life.
After being exposed to this discipline, Zhao Zhiyong decided to dedicate his life to work related to law. After having this idea, Zhao Zhiyong usually studied law in addition to training, and after sufficient preparation, he finally passed the law examination and obtained a bachelor's degree.
In 1998, Zhao Zhiyong retired from the army, and with his profound legal knowledge, Zhao Zhiyong entered the Yuhua District People's Court of Shijiazhuang City. During his work in the court, Zhao Zhiyong can be called a bow.
Zhao Zhiyong rarely rests when he is at work, for him every day is a working day, once he is busy, it is even more regardless of day and night, and he is even more talking about going on a business trip. According to public information, of the 938 cases he has handled, the case closure rate has reached 95%, and none of the cases have caused petitions, which can show that Zhao Zhiyong's handling has been deeply recognized by the parties to the case.
During the nearly 10 years of execution, Zhao Zhiyong's execution of the standard reached 100 million. Because of his outstanding work ability, he was rated as the "benchmark" of the judicial enforcement system, and was awarded the third class merit twice, and was also awarded the title of "Top Ten Enforcement Experts".
In the court, Zhao Zhiyong is recognized as a "labor model", a good partner in the eyes of colleagues, a good subordinate in the eyes of his superiors, and a "good public servant" in the hearts of the people. No one would have thought that such a person would be a "two-faced person", ostensibly a worker who had worked in the court for 22 years, but behind the scenes was a cash truck robber.
Therefore, on the day Zhao Zhiyong was arrested, although his colleagues were surprised, they did not think that he was arrested for murder, and private discussions were "whether he will commit corruption." Compared with the surprise of his colleagues, Zhao Zhiyong was very calm, and he seemed to know that sooner or later there would be this day.
After Zhao Zhiyong was arrested, he did not argue or resist, but calmly talked about the motives of his robbery. Zhao Zhiyong said that when he was still serving in the military, about one day in the late 1990s, he suddenly received a letter from his home, saying that his father was hospitalized for a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and he was rescued and needed to continue treatment.
Continuing treatment requires a lot of money, and a heavy burden is placed on Zhao Zhiyong. In early 1997, Zhao Zhiyong asked the army for leave to go home to visit his family, and he looked at his old father lying on the hospital bed with a withered face and realized that he had to get a sum of money as soon as possible.
It is clear that in order to get a large amount of money quickly, the normal and legal way of making money will not work, and can only be obtained through improper means. Therefore, Zhao Zhiyong began to plan, he heard that there would be a cash truck in a few days, to the Xinghua Road Rural Cooperative Foundation business point to transport money, so he found a few people like him who were in urgent need of money and went to rob together.
Zhao Zhiyong and his gang were fully prepared and silently waited for the opportunity to come. Thus, on January 10, 1997, this vicious robbery that had been planned for a long time and caused a sensation throughout the city occurred. Due to the poor technology at that time, Zhao Zhiyong and his party were able to get away with it.
Comments by the victim's family in the comments section of the relevant report
But Skynet was restored, neglected and leaked, and after 23 years, this robbery that shocked the whole city was finally solved. On the day the truth was found out, the victim's family expressed their gratitude to the police in the comment area of the relevant report, and complained about the harm caused to them by the case that year:
"My elderly grandmother washed her face with tears every day; my father was so sad that one winter he couldn't get away with a severe cough; my brother, who was only five years old, asked where my mother had gone, and I cried and told him that I had gone far away..."
"Work by conscience, execute by faith", this is a handwritten note that Zhao Zhiyong once wrote, but this sentence is so ironic, judging from his work for more than twenty years, he is indeed worthy of his profession, but his conscience, as early as 23 years ago, on that cold and windy morning, when shooting and killing innocent money carriers, had disappeared.
We don't know what kind of mentality Zhao Zhiyong has spent these 23 years with, but since the damage has been caused, then he must bear the mistake and pay the price. We must believe that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, not that the time has not yet come, and that only when people have good thoughts in their hearts can they go to the road of prosperity.
