At the end of July 2012, the police of the Shanghai Railway Public Security Department were sorting out a case file, and a few days ago they had just arrested a theft gang, a total of four people involved, three of whom could match the number, and only one person named Wei Qiu had been unable to determine the identity.
How can a person with multiple criminal records not find the household registration information? This abnormal phenomenon caused the vigilance of the police, who looked at the information in their hands and combined with the information in the database and found that this was a habitual offender of the "six entrances to the palace".
"Coming from Hunan, unmarried, my parents died very early, and there are no other siblings in the family." Looking at the confession of the interrogator, Zhang Zhang, the brigade elder in charge of the trial, fell into contemplation.
Over the years of his police career, he has tried countless prisoners, and his intuition tells him that there is something wrong with this person.
Nicknamed "Shandong", what is the real identity of Wei Qiu, a habitual criminal from Hunan?
Huge sums of money that don't know where to go
On July 3, before dawn, a middle-aged man spewing alcohol rushed into the reception room of the public security section of the Shanghai Railway Station in a panic, saying that the bag containing 60,000 yuan was missing.
"I rummaged through flower beds, nearby public toilets, and even the bins, and still couldn't see my bag." The man is a native of Fujian and does business in Suzhou. The day before the crime, he came to Shanghai to talk about business, and drank two more drinks at the party, so he was overwhelmed by alcohol and delayed his trip.
Originally, they had all walked to the train station, but the man suddenly felt that the wine was on his head, so he fell asleep by the flower bed. Who knew that when he woke up, he found that the shoulder bag he had been carrying was missing, and the thought of containing the sixty thousand yuan of goods that had just been collected, the man was in a cold sweat.
"What's in the bag besides money?" The police comforted the man while asking for details. However, the man was not awake at the time of the crime, except for being able to say what was in the bag, the rest of the situation was not known.
Was the man accidentally lost, or was someone taking advantage of it? In the specific situation, I am afraid that only the surveillance video of the crime site can tell the police the answer.
It took several hours for the detective police to find the suspicious person from a picture more than 1 a.m., according to the surveillance, the man who was about one meter seven in height circled around the flower bed twice, stayed briefly and left, and after a few minutes, he appeared near the reporter again, and when he left again, he had an extra shoulder bag in his hand.
The other three men standing walking by the square, after seeing the man with a bag, quickly gathered together, and after exchanging heads and ears, the four quickly left the scene of the crime.
Could it be a gang crime? Where did these four people go after they got their hands on it?
The first battle to catch the criminals was successful
A few days later, Li Dajun, who was sitting at home counting banknotes, had a proud expression on his face before he was captured by the police who broke through the door.
Li Dajun was the mastermind of the 60,000 yuan payment from the Fujian boss.
He wandered to Shanghai many years ago and has been doing the business of stealing chickens and dogs, and the other three people on the video are friends of Li Dajun's "Daoshang", who have long colluded together, mixed in railway stations, car passenger transportation centers and other crowd gathering places, and make a living by stealing.
The rapid arrest of Li Dajun is closely related to the vigorous action of the Shanghai Iron Police. After identifying the suspect, they immediately set up a special case team to retrieve the trajectory of the four people in the entire urban area, and the police carried out a large number of visits with video screenshots, and finally got effective clues in a crowd.
"I have seen this person in the photo, nicknamed 'black skin', and the other three are his brothers, called 'old cousin', 'Shandong' and 'little fat', and several people are often sneaky."
The criminal suspect was determined, and the next step was to carry out the arrest work, and the police of the special case group captured Li Dajun in a rental house in Dachang Town according to the clues, and in the face of the police who fell from the sky, the "black skin" truthfully explained everything.
Late that night, several people were preparing to drum up the business of soliciting customers near the train station, when they wandered around, they found the victim who was drunk and fell by the flower bed, and saw his shoulder bag bulging, and after several people's deliberation, it was decided that Li Dajun would come forward to get the bag, and the rest of the people scattered to put up the sentry.
"Sixty thousand yuan, I took more than thirty thousand of them, and the rest of the money was divided among the three of them." In the interrogation room, Li Dajun bowed his head in frustration.
Soon, the other three people were also arrested one after another with the cooperation of the Shanghai Iron Police and the Zhabei Branch Police, and looking at the video surveillance in front of them, the three confessed to the crimes committed.
The theft was carried out here, and it was a successful end. However, when Lao Zhang was sorting out the files, he accidentally found that the criminal suspect Wei Qiu, nicknamed "Shandong", actually found no one in the system, and a fog suddenly shrouded him.
When I think of the interrogation of Wei Qiu, how can I see that his various performances are a person with a positive confession attitude and a good attitude, not like a person who has something to hide.
Where is the murderer
Just when the Shanghai Iron Police successfully solved the theft case, nearly a thousand kilometers away in Zhengzhou, Yao Yao, the elder of the criminal investigation brigade of the Central Plains Branch Bureau, sighed at the old case more than a decade ago.
It was a murder case that occurred in 1998, and Lao Yao was still Xiao Yao, a fledgling little policeman, who had just joined the work and followed the master out of the scene.
According to the clues provided by the police, they went to a family area near the train station, where a man and a woman lay in one of the rooms, bleeding from the ground, and the whole room was full of strong smells of blood.
In the midst of the commotion, an overly frightened little girl hid in a corner and cried loudly.
This scene made Lao Yao unforgettable in his lifetime.
The man died on the spot, and the woman was still breathless when she was found, but she was sent to the hospital and died shortly after being rescued. Both were identified as having died of severe brain injury caused by a blunt object.
The ferocity of the murderer's crime made all the police officers in the entire Central Plains Sub-Bureau furious. Through a large number of preliminary investigations, they found that the murdered couple were just ordinary workers, and they did not have a vendetta with anyone on weekdays, since it was not a vendetta, an originally happy family of three, what was the reason for the fragmentation?
In order to catch the murderer, the police put on the star Andi Yue into the investigation work, relying on a paging number left on a blood-stained piece of paper, and finally caught three criminal suspects a week later, according to their confessions, the mastermind had others, and several of them just obeyed orders.
"Why did you kill them?" Faced with the questioning of the police, the three confessed everything.
It turned out that these people were local gangsters in Zhengzhou, idle for a long time, and they also knew some people who were not in the same society, not long before the crime, they met a foreigner named "Hair Monkey", after a few glasses of wine, the four of them called brothers and brothers.
"The 'hairy monkey' said he was going to make a fortune with our brothers, so we started the idea of robbing." Late that night, the four men walked to a residential building near the train station, climbed over the wall into the victim's home, and beat the innocent couple with a wooden stick prepared in advance, until the victim fell in a pool of blood, and several people frantically searched for it, and finally only stole two hundred yuan in cash.
"Have you been eyeing them for a long time, or have you chosen them at random?" In the face of interrogation by the police, one of the suspects whispered: "Randomly picked one." ”
Who would have thought that, in order to satisfy the mad greed of the four evildoers, a young couple would become their improvised puppeteers.
"Do you know his real name?" The police asked.
"It's like calling Niu Kangbin." One of the criminals considered it for half a day and answered with some hesitation.
The three arrested people were duly punished, but the main culprit remained at large. More than ten years have passed, the police of the criminal police brigade have changed wave after wave, and Lao Yao has also become the captain of the brigade from a new policeman, but the pursuit of Niu Kangbin has never stopped.
The heartless words revealed their flaws
On the Shanghai side, the skeptical old Zhang quickly contacted the Hunan police according to the information given by Wei Qiu, and the other party quickly gave feedback, and there was no one named Wei Qiu in the Zhangjia Group of Yueyang City.
"Concealing identity to confuse the public, is there a serious case?" Lao Zhang pondered for a moment, and soon had a countermeasure.
To uncover the truth, one can only work on his accomplices. After unified discussion by the task force, a specific interrogation plan was gradually formed.
Lao Zhang and the police interrogated the three people except Wei Qiu separately, and according to the materials he had previously mastered, as long as he repeatedly publicized the policies and regulations, he would certainly be able to find clues from the conversation with them.
Sure enough, When Li Dajun and the others heard that they could wear guilt and make meritorious deeds, they immediately knew that they had no end to everything, and they tried to recall every detail of their acquaintance with Wei Qiu, and one of the accomplices could not help but show a strange expression on his face.
"Did you think of something?" The keen Old Zhang sensed this and immediately asked. "We usually eat together, and we find that he doesn't seem to eat rice, he has to eat steamed buns every meal, and he says that the steamed bread is delicious, and we were very strange at the time, he was a southerner, and he actually loved pasta so much."
The speaker has no intention, the listener intends. Lao Zhang suddenly remembered that there was always an unavoidable northern accent in Wei Qiu's speech, which he claimed to be a southerner, and found that he did not eat rice, plus he loved to eat pasta, was he from Shandong?
Soon, the clue provided by another person made Lao Zhang's somewhat messy thoughts gradually clear. According to the accomplices' confessions, not long before the crime, the wife and children of "Shandong" came to Shanghai, and when everyone was eating together, one of them quipped: "Why didn't your father go back with you?" The child said without hesitation: "Dad can't go back, and if he goes back, he will be arrested immediately." ”
At that time, I thought his son was talking nonsense, so everyone didn't care.
This fact obviously did not match Wei Qiu's own statement that he was unmarried, and the two clues added together, although it was impossible to know where he came from, but it also confirmed Lao Zhang's conjecture that Wei Qiu was indeed a person with a serious case.
At the time when the case was in full swing, the police responsible for searching the criminal's belongings also made progress, Wei Qiu had opened a bank card at the beginning of the month, and according to their further investigation, it was found that the person who opened the account was named Niu Pengyong, from Hancheng, Shaanxi Province, and had just come of age this year.
"Do you know this person?" Holding a copy of Niu Pengyong's ID card, Lao Zhang stared at Wei Qiu and asked.
"I picked it up on the road." Wei Qiu looked at it, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”
But how could the police easily let go of this hard-won clue, they quickly contacted the Shaanxi police, and through the joint efforts of the police of the two places, they found that Wei Qiu and the father of the owner of the account looked very similar.
"This man, Niu Kangbin, committed a murder in 1995 and is a fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Public Security." Whether it is the Shanghai Iron Police, or the Hancheng and Zhengzhou police, this is a major discovery, they finally determined the true identity of Wei Qiu through the analysis of relevant information, it is Niu Kangbin who absconded for eighteen years.
Faced with the ironclad facts, he refused to admit it at first, until Lao Zhang took out all the evidence collected for nearly half a month, and he finally bowed his head.
"I'm dead." This was the only sentence that Niu Kangbin said after a long silence.
He carried three lives
Niu Kangbin was born in a rural family in Hancheng, the main cash crop in the local area is peppercorns, every household relies on planting this to support their families, arable land in the northern Shaanxi plateau is scarce, and disputes between villagers because of land problems are common at that time.
One day in May 1995, the old cattle family and the neighbors old Feng family quarreled over the boundaries of cultivated land, and they moved their hands with each other more and more intensely. Niu Kangbin's father was slightly injured in the fight.
Hearing that his father had been beaten, Niu Kangbin could not sit still, at that time he was working in the mine, and he returned home to pick up his brother without asking for leave, ready to go to the old Feng family to ask for an explanation.
Seeing that the Niu brothers came to settle the account, the Feng family did not plan to take a step back, when the two sides were fighting, the son of the old Feng family was pushed to the ground, and the angry Niu Kangbin grabbed the hoe and smashed it madly at his head, and soon the Feng family's son lost his breath.
Niu Kangbin was no longer literate, and he also knew the truth of killing people to pay for his life, so he was scared to leave his family and run away overnight. After the incident, the local police worked tirelessly to arrest his brother, but Niu Kangbin was still not arrested.
Seeing her son being killed, Feng's mother was crushed and died of hatred soon after. Father Feng went to the public security bureau every once in a while to inquire about the situation, hoping day and night that this murderous demon would be captured by the police as soon as possible.
Han Cheng also dispatched a large number of police forces to continuously track down his whereabouts. I searched all the hotels and transportation hubs in the surrounding area, and I never found any trace of Niu Kangbin.
Where did this person who fled in a hurry go?
In a remote urban-rural junction in Zhengzhou, four men who look like are sitting in a humble restaurant drinking beer and discussing some inconsistent activities.
One of them is the anonymous Niu Kangbin.
After the incident, he went south along the Yellow River and fled to Henan, not daring to stay in an inn, never showing up easily, and could only find some unseemly work to make a living. Soon, he met three people who were also unlearned.
After hiding for a long time, Niu Kangbin found that the police were slow to see the police coming, and when he saw the lights in the city, his courage became bigger and bigger.
He was tired of hiding all day, no longer willing to earn some money to earn a living in a hard day, and after a few cups of yellow soup, he instigated the other three people to do the big ticket.
Therefore, after committing the Hancheng murder, he planned the Zhengzhou murder. In just three years, Niu Kangbin carried three innocent lives on his body, but his life did not change as he wanted, in order to avoid the pursuit of the police, he could only abscond under a pseudonym again and wander around.
In 2002, when he came to Shanghai, the prosperity of the city made him dazzled, he decided not to leave, as Wei Qiu, to stay here, to see if he could find a chance to get rich.
Jiangshan is easy to change his nature and difficult to move, he still makes a living by stealing, and he also gets acquainted with Li Dajun and others who are "people in the same way".
Although everyone is a person who steals chickens and dogs, Li Dajun and Niu Kangbin have been together for a long time, but they gradually find that "Shandong" always does things with a fierce force, which makes people look at the back and get cold.
Once, he extorted two hundred yuan from someone else, and the other party did not rely on it. He took out a dagger and pointed it at the other person's face, making the man bite the money with his mouth, and then he used the knife to pry open the other party's mouth and take out the money.
Doing things viciously, let him have a "reputation" in the whole circle, mention "Shandong", everyone's face is faintly afraid.
But Niu Kangbin also has troubles, absconding for many years, although there is a lot of illegal income, but when he thinks of his son and old mother, he feels that he is very unfilial and has not fulfilled the responsibility of a father.
In July 2012, he secretly contacted his wife and children, the three met in Shanghai, Niu Kangbin used his son's identity to get a bank card, ready to get money later and save it.
Skynet recovered without leaking, and it was this card that finalized his true identity.
What made him even more unexpected was that just by the words of his accomplices, the Shanghai police could be so keen and peel off his painting skin in one fell swoop.
Why did he successfully abscond for eighteen years?
What greeted Niu Kangbin was the punishment of legal justice.
For all the policemen handling the case, while feeling relieved, the most difficult thing is to determine his identity.
Some people may ask, Niu Kangbin is an old habitual criminal, why has the police not been able to discover his true identity for so many years?
On this point, the author consulted a large number of materials, only to understand that in the process of handling the case, if there is a lack of household registration information, the criminal suspect is allowed to declare his name, plus the cases committed by Niu Kangbin are small cases of stealing chickens and dogs, and the confession attitude is excellent, which naturally creates a certain degree of illusion to the police.
The most important thing is that the two murders he committed occurred in the 1990s, when technology was not as developed as it is today, and the police often had to rely on "legs" to visit a large number of field visits to collect information.
Speaking of determining the household registration status, most of the places where Niu Kangbin committed small cases were relatively backward in economic level, and some places may not even have a network, and various objectively existing factors have given him an opportunity to take advantage of.
It can be said that Niu Kangbin's final arrest was inseparable from the joint efforts of the police in Shanghai, Hancheng, and Zhengzhou, and it was precisely the "no will" of the Shanghai police and the "perseverance" of the Henan police in Shaanxi that enabled this cunning criminal to finally get the punishment he deserved.
