On May 19, 2001, in the seafood market in the western suburbs of Jinan, Shandong Province, vendors gathered together.
"Did you hear that?" Today is the day of Xu Zongtao's public trial! ”
"It's so cool, sentence him to death, this old guy, shot ten times can't help hate!"
Speaking of the news of Xu Zongtao's public trial, the vendors are all passionate, they have been bullied and oppressed by the underworld organization headed by Xu Zongtao for many years, and in the face of this criminal and evil force, they also dare not speak out, after all, these people burn and rob, no evil, and now when this person is finally sanctioned, it is inevitable to get excited.
In four courts and five courts, in order to try Xu Zongtao to convict him, more than 400 witnesses came alone, printed materials and even used two photocopiers, and what is even more shocking is that when the public prosecutor Farah files were filed, not a single car could pull down these materials.
This is enough to prove how sinful Xu Zongtao is, so how did he embark on the path of the underworld? How many evil things did he do in this life? Next, let's go back in time and understand the things that happened to the black boss in Shandong!
First, the difficult road to entrepreneurship
Xu Zongtao was born in an ordinary family in Jinan, Shandong, he did not love to learn and fight since he was a child, his personality was very flamboyant, and he said that reading changed his fate, because he did not choose that road, and Xu Zongtao, whose family conditions were average, could only support his family on his own.
Xu Zongtao disdains to work, he does not like to be managed, living a nine-to-five life, although stable, but feel that there is no big difference, in the 90s of the last century, the spring breeze of reform blows all over the ground, many people face this wind to get rich, which makes Xu Zongtao, who is more than 30 years old but has achieved nothing, envious.
So, he bought from the wholesaler, sold beer near the Tianqiao District of Jinan, and later sold snacks and barbecues, in his opinion, Chinese inseparable from eating and drinking, this small business is the most profitable, but he did not have the patience to study in eating and drinking, the entrepreneurial life of early and late return made him feel very bored, and by chance, he started a home appliance business.
Saying that the home appliance business is actually recycling waste home appliances, he rides a tricycle through various residential buildings, shouting in his mouth, horns, recycling old home appliances is very profitable, he also knows a lot of people who make a fortune in this line, but when he is engaged in this job, he finds that the gap between dreams and reality is too large.
After walking all over the streets, the fact that not a single old home appliance could be recycled made him feel very disappointed, and his enthusiasm to start a new career was hit again, and it didn't take long for him to choose to give up.
He has had the experience of working hard in the bottom society, so that he hates the days of poverty and no money, even if the entrepreneurship fails, he still refuses to find a stable job, but after tossing and turning for so long, there is nothing to achieve, what can he do to "salt the fish to turn over"?
At this time, Xu Zongtao's desire for money has reached an unprecedented height, and he also wants to become the boss of the family property of hundreds of millions, drive a luxury car, live in a mansion... Become the existence of others who will "shake three times" when they see him.
During a meal, he overheard the next table talking about the gangsters, and from their tone, he even heard the meaning of envy and admiration, which made Xu Zongtao interested.
Thinking of this, Xu Zongtao's blood boiled up, and from then on, he also began his ten-year journey of evil.
Second, become the "black boss"
The underworld boss is the ultimate goal set by Xu Zongtao for himself, in order to reach this height step by step, he began a series of hooligan acts, at first it was just stealing, and then it developed into robbery, from the initial nervousness to the later handy, his aura became more and more powerful, making people afraid unconsciously, and Xu Zongtao was very satisfied with the change that happened to him.
In the past few years, various little brothers have collected a lot, and Xu Zongtao has become more imposing, and they extort nearby merchants and collect protection fees through violent means. Because they had seen their fierceness, the merchants were very afraid of them.
At that time, there were not many underworld organizations, Xu Zongtao was only one of many who collected protection fees, and the number of traders was limited, and if they wanted to win the "favor" of more people, they could only speak with strength, which required breaking out of the real name!
Xu Zongtao was not satisfied with "living at home" and "self-congratulation in the village", so he recruited many idle people in society and formed an organization.
Bloody wars between underworlds are very common, especially in the Tianqiao area where Xu Zongtao is active, there are two other evil gangs headed by Yang Bin and Zuo Liang, and Xu Zongtao wants to gain higher prestige and is bound to have disputes with these gangs.
Yang Bin has been wandering in the Tianqiao district for many years, killing people, destroying corpses, and robbing women... It was all done over and over again, and Xu Zongtao's power had only just developed at that time.
It is rumored that Yang Bin and Zuo Liang both want to do away with Xu Zongtao, after all, the other party is an emerging organization, but now it is in the limelight, and it is afraid that it will pose a threat to the organization of the two of them in a short time.
And Because Yang Bin was not accustomed to Xu Zongtao's arrogant style of behavior, coupled with Zuo Liang's request for his help in getting rid of Xu Zongtao, Yang Bin decided to become Zuo Liang's intention and get rid of Xu Zongtao.
On July 9, 1994, in Xu Zongtao's small home at 59 Shunhe Street, his parents left him forever with two gunshots. The news quickly spread in the circle, Xu Zongtao knew that the murderer was bound to be one of Zuo Liang and Yang Bin, and he also knew that the person the other party wanted to really get rid of was himself.
His parents suffered a senseless disaster, but Xu Zongtao could not seek the help of the police, after all, he himself had an unknown number of lives on his hands, and his parents' vendetta could only be repaid privately, he vowed to let these two people pay their blood debts, but before he could seek revenge on Yang Bin, the other party was killed by the police for resisting arrest, so that only Zuo Liang was left with Xu Zongtao's blood feud.
Third, the reputation is great
Time came to 1995, Xu Zongtao's organization became bigger and bigger, Zuo Liang dominated in the Tianqiao District for a while, the two gangs also had many frictions, Xu Zongtao felt that his strength was strong now, so he decided to add new hatred to old hatred and find Zuo Liang to report together.
On June 1, 1995, Xu Zongtao received news that Zuo Liang and several of his horses were going to eat at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant at night.
Drunken Immortal Restaurant is a local quite distinctive hotel in Jinan, the decoration is magnificent, attracting high-class people with high consumption levels, the restaurant owner can do such a big business, naturally there are people behind it, but Xu Zongtao is not afraid to collide with anyone, he got the news, he immediately sent Li Baoguo, Qi Shoujun and other people to carry long and short guns and controlled knives, ambushed in the restaurant in advance.
Zuo Liang and the others were defenseless, as soon as they entered the restaurant, Li Baoguo and The Defenders fired several shots at them, and the people who went to dinner with Zuo Liang were beaten to the disabled, Zuo Liang himself was not much better, and he was directly cut off, this case can be described as shocking the whole of Shandong, but also let Xu Zongtao's reputation rise, and afterwards he also contributed 30,000 yuan to let Li Baoguo and the Defenders flee.
At this time, Xu Zongtao, not only in the sky bridge distinction between no opponents, but even in the whole of Jinan, the whole of Shandong are "prestigious", Xu Zongtao's fierceness makes many people look at him timidly, in these years, he has participated in gun battles, sneak attacks, assassinations... Those plots that exist in gangster movies are real stories that happen to Xu Zongtao, and his life is full of blood and violence, for the sake of
Accelerating the realization of his dream of becoming rich, he began to extend his hand to the passenger transport industry, the vegetable wholesale market... Relying on violent means to amass wealth, the "business" is doing well.
The gang of criminal and evil forces headed by Xu Zongtao has grown to as many as 92 people, and his prestige is known to everyone in Shandong. A friend of Xu Zongtao gambled in Yucheng and lost 95,000 yuan, because he did not know the relationship between this person and Xu Zongtao, and was directly troubled by Xu Zongtao's subordinates.
The next day, the boss knew that he had inadvertently offended the "black boss", so he was frightened to come to Xu Zongtao's home with 80,000 cash to make amends, saw Xu Zongtao react coldly, and proposed to give up 20% of the shares of the entertainment city, which only got a "um" syllable issued by Xu Zongtao.
It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Xu Zongtao did not look at the other party squarely, and the other party also rushed to send him money, which showed the strength of his power at that time.
Xu Zongtao relied on these burning and looting money, created various groups, tried to launder money through legal channels, and once wanted to become a rich man, his desire to become a rich man has become a reality, and by 1999, his disposable property reached 70 million, and after whitewashing his identity, he even packaged himself as a successful person.
4. Arrest Huang Yong
The "black boss" generally does not need to do things by himself, he only needs to "give orders", there are a bunch of small minions under his command rushing to complete the task, they collect protection fees, bully the masses, this is an indisputable fact, the police have not given up the crackdown on this kind of illegal behavior, arrest these "hooligans" to educate, but this can not shake their foundation at all.
Xu Zongtao hid behind his men and continued to live a luxurious life until he was blind and committed one bloody crime after another.
On April 23, 1998, in Jinan Baliqiao Market, two groups of people and horses shot at each other with shotguns, resulting in the death of one person on the spot and blinding of two passers-by; on March 19, 1999, on the highway near the Jinan Iron and Steel Plant, a car and a pickup truck were chased with guns, the same shotgun shooting, and the driver of the pickup truck died on the spot.
These two cases were named "98.4.23" and "99.3.19" by the police, and gave them a high degree of attention, because the post-case situation was too complicated, and the evidence collection work became very difficult.
After day and night search by the members of the special case team, it was finally confirmed that the actual operator behind the two bad cases was Huang Yong, and Huang Yong was a backbone member of the "Xu Zongtao Criminal Group".
In March 1999, the Shandong police made a decision to thoroughly liquidate the "Xu Zongtao Criminal Group" and set up a special case team to investigate and collect evidence of Xu Zongtao and others' violations and crimes.
The criminal group headed by Xu Zongtao is an organization with a tower-shaped structure, and under him, there are 7 key members who deal with matters in different directions. Huang Yong, as his right-hand man, has become the primary target of the police, and if he can be caught, more facts of Xu Zongtao's crimes and the list of people involved in the crime can be obtained through interrogation.
Huang Yong is quite careful in his daily actions, as the main member of the "Xu Zongtao Criminal Group", he lives in a single-family villa, and there are more than a dozen horse boys "escorting" around him all year round, it is very difficult to successfully arrest him, and the police naturally do not dare to fight grass and snakes, so they can only send plainclothes investigators to guard the places where they often come and go.
On the evening of May 30, 1999, the police got the news that Huang Yong and several key members appeared in the nightclub, and after 6 police officers rushed into the scene with guns, they only caught 12 of his horses.
It seems that it has become difficult to arrest Huang Yong again, but the police in the special case team are not discouraged, they continue to investigate in Jinan, Tai'an, and Xintai, and in that era when there is no sky eye camera coverage, they once again grasped Huang Yong's movements by manual investigation, and successfully arrested him on June 8.
Huang Yong's arrest made the police very excited, after a full 23 days of interrogation, Huang Yong from the beginning of the "dead duck mouth hard" to "know everything without saying", not only confessed to the various crimes he committed, but also confessed to the police a lot of Xu Zongtao's criminal acts, the police will record this information one by one, at the same time, the arrest of Xu Zongtao's search and arrest operation also officially began!
V. Xu Zongtao was arrested
As early as after learning that Huang Yong was arrested by the police, Xu Zongtao has been in a state of panic, thinking that he has committed so many crimes, if he is really caught by the police, it will be difficult to escape death, Xu Zongtao does not want to be so ambushed, he guessed that Huang Yong will definitely "betray" himself in order to win the opportunity for leniency.
Just as the so-called "great calamity is about to fly separately", he knows that the next target of the police is himself, in order not to be caught, he left the remaining brothers early, hid in a place that no one knows, and did not dare to expose his whereabouts to anyone.
Until September 29, the police still did not have any clues to Xu Zongtao's whereabouts, the Ministry of Public Security tracked down fugitives nationwide, and more than 20 of Xu Zongtao's men had been arrested, but Xu Zongtao himself seemed to have disappeared, and even through the network of more than 20 people, he still could not get a clue about him.
The state attaches great importance to this case, all sectors of society have also given great attention, with the passage of time, the pressure of the police is increasing, the initiative has no direction, even so, can only let Xu Zongtao stand out on his own.
"Soldiers, devious ways, so they can show that they can't, and they use them to show that they don't use them."
The special case team decided to adopt the strategy of "wanting to get away with it", releasing some false information to confuse the other side, after asking the superiors to get consent, the police crossed out Xu Zongtao's name on the wanted list, and the fugitives who were outside were extremely concerned about the wanted order, and this information would also affect their next actions.
In fact, as early as before the wanted list was issued, he vaguely heard that the public security organs did not intend to pursue him, but at that time he thought that this was a fraud by the police, and now that he saw that his name was not on the wanted list, he could not help but be a little shaken, in order to make Xu Zongtao believe more, the leader of the public security bureau also came out to release a message, saying, "I do not intend to pursue Xu Zongtao, now that many cases related to Huang Yong have been found, I only hope that Xu Zongtao can come out to prove Huang Yong's guilt." ”
After Xu Zongtao heard about this internal news, he felt very incredible and inexplicable, he did not know what ghosts the police were doing, and he did not dare to believe what the police said, but he was too curious, very much wanted to know the "truth" of the matter, so Xu Zongtao finally took the initiative to contact the outside world through the phone, the police waited for this moment, in the moment of the phone dialing, it immediately implemented monitoring.
After Xu Zongtao learned that this news was "true" by telephone, he still did not dare to be careless, and after more than ten days of caution, he saw that there had been no wind noise, and he also slowly relaxed his vigilance.
As everyone knows, when he came out of the hiding place, his whereabouts have always been in the hands of the public security organs, and the police have monitored Xu Zongtao's behavior for 24 hours, and they are on duty in shifts, and they have hardly let Xu Zongtao leave the police's sight.
When will Xu Zongtao be arrested? The police did not know, they were only responsible for recording Xu Zongtao's whereabouts, which showed that the Ministry of Public Security attached great importance to this case at that time, for fear that someone would leak secrets and delay the arrest.
On December 22, 1999, four ordinary cars drove into the Jinan Chessboard Community, there were more than 20 police officers on the car, they did not even know what kind of mission they had here, but just obeyed the command to lay the car chair flat and lie in the car, waiting for the order...
Such a big battle, the police officers vaguely felt that this was a big action, held their breath and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of missing the command, about 2 hours later, that is, at about 11:20 p.m., a man came out of the cave, only to see this man look around, he sat in a Santana car, and started the engine.
5 minutes later, several more people stepped out of the building, one of the flat-headed men glanced at Santana's car, and the detachment leader who was ambushed in the front row of the car saw that the man was bright, shouted "It is him", and then turned on the headlights of the car, and more than a dozen criminal police officers also rushed out of the car.
Xu Zongtao's several people were completely defenseless, the criminal police subdued them three times five divided by two, the moment the muzzle of the gun was pressed against the head, Xu Zongtao's mind flashed a lot of pictures, and finally, he closed his eyes in recognition and no longer resisted.
Since then, this extremely evil Jinan "black boss" has been successfully arrested, and his other horse boys have been arrested and arrested, and subsequently, the police have also found a large number of weapons in his three hiding dens, including 390 rounds of bullets, 5 detonators, 150 grams of antimony explosives, 1.5 meters of fuse, and 400,000 yuan of stolen money, which has also become strong evidence for his crime.
Sixth, Xu Zongtao's ending
After Xu Zongtao was successfully arrested, there was a peaceful atmosphere all over the police station, and the vendors who were oppressed and intimidated by them also exhaled a long breath, Xu Zongtao asked them to pay 10,000 yuan in cash as a protection fee every month, they dared to be angry, and even some people wanted to leave Jinan to live, which shows how much psychological shadow Xu Zongtao has caused them.
After learning the news of Xu Zongtao's arrest, the vendors were grateful and even sent pennants to the police station to show their gratitude.
On February 27, 2001, the Jinan Municipal Public Security Bureau also held a meeting on the return of stolen goods in the criminal police detachment, and many people who were bullied and oppressed by Xu Zongtao's criminal group came to the scene and told their gratitude to the police.
On May 19, 2001, Xu Zongtao was sentenced to death in accordance with law for organizing and leading a mafia-type organization, intentional homicide, robbery, kidnapping, intentional injury, extortion, etc., a total of 16 crimes and 87 cases, resulting in the death of 5 people, the disability of 30 people, and the accumulation of more than 20 million yuan of wealth.
On April 4, 2002, the death penalty was executed, and Xu Zongtao finally ended his sinful life.
7. Summary
Looking back on Xu Zongtao's life, he has grown from an ordinary small vendor to a black boss who makes people "feel frightened".
If he had made up his mind to engage in serious business, he might have succeeded, but unfortunately he had spent his mind on crooked ways, and this practice of overstepping the thunder pool was bound to be punished by law.
In recent years, the state has also vigorously carried out the special struggle against organized crime and evil forces, and has achieved many results, and today's society is more harmonious than before, Xu Zongtao is a typical example, do not try to challenge the authority, and in the end you can only be punished by yourself.
