On the evening of January 12, 2009, the police of Maba Town, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, were on patrol near the Tongcheng Bus Station.
At this time, a driver in the Tongcheng bus station reported to the police that "recently a small car was parked in the compound of the Tongcheng Gin Factory, and it stopped for several days, and there seemed to be a person inside the car, motionless, looking like a dead person."
After getting this information, the police rushed to the gin factory. Upon arriving at the scene, what came into view was a dirty gray car, and the police wiped the dust off the car and looked inside, and found a man wearing an army green coat sitting in the back seat of the car.
The man's face was completely covered by the collar, and the police could not recognize the man's appearance, but the man's exposed hands had turned purple, and the fingernails had become purple-black, and by observing Hu Changjun, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and this person was most likely dead.
The police immediately reported the incident to the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation, and the comrades of the criminal investigation brigade quickly rushed to the scene of the crime and conducted an investigation visit to the gin factory and its surroundings and investigated and collected evidence.
The door of the gray sedan was quickly opened, and the people inside the sedan were confirmed to be dead, and the deceased's coat was stained with a lot of mud and weeds, and it was impossible to prove his identity because he did not have any identification documents.
In the trunk of the car, police also found another dead man, the body curled up in the trunk, also wearing an army green coat, covered with mud and weeds.
Two bodies were found in the same car, who were they? Why are there dirt and weeds on my body? What the police did not expect was that this case had become a major discovery in the archaeological community. Let's start with the detection of the case.
Judging from the preliminary investigation results, the police believe that this is a murder carjacking case, the two dead people may have known each other before, inferring that one of them is the owner of the car, after they were killed, they were abandoned by the murderer in the compound of the Copper City Gin Factory.
With the deepening of the investigation, more and more mysteries are displayed in front of the case-handling personnel, first of all, the autopsy report shows that the two people did not have any trauma, nor did they show any signs of mechanical asphyxiation, that is to say, they were not strangled, one of them had nine rib fractures, but the fractures were not fatal injuries, and the causes of death of both people were anaphyxia suffocation deaths.
The cause of death is particularly strange, it seems to be caused by people in a hypoxic environment, so the police suspect that it is not the rear of the car that released carbon monoxide and caused the two people to die of poisoning.
Following this line of thought, the police inspected the car and found that the exhaust of the car could not enter the cockpit at all, so only the possibility of exhaust poisoning could be ruled out.
The police found a mobile phone in one of them, so they found a charger to charge the mobile phone, then opened the mobile phone, and found from the address book that the mobile phone was in frequent contact with a landline in the Nantong area of Jiangsu Province.
Just when the police were studying the mobile phone, the mobile phone suddenly rang the phone, the incoming call number is the Jiangsu Nantong number that this mobile phone often dials, the police answered the phone, the other party is a woman, very doubtfully asked, "How can my brother's phone be in your hands?" ”
In order to avoid hitting the grass and snake, the police said, "Your brother is in a traffic accident and is being rescued in the hospital," and then began to ask for information about the identity of the girl's brother.
What the police did not expect was that no matter how the police asked, the woman did not say any information about his brother, but instead called the Tianchang City Public Security Bureau to report the case, claiming that someone was taking his brother's phone to commit fraud.
Eventually, the police gave an explanation to the woman, who provided the true information of his brother, whose brother's name was Gu Zhongjian, a native of Nantong, Jiangsu Province, who was engaged in highway projects in northern Jiangsu.
In 2008, Gu Zhongjian and a few friends were working on a village-to-village project in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, and because of a lack of money, they borrowed 60,000 yuan from their families.
If this person is Gu Zhongjian, then who is the other person? The police immediately investigated the owner's information and found that the registered owner's name was Zhang Yin, a farmer in Ludu Town, Taicang City, Jiangsu Province. After some investigation, the police found that the deceased was not the farmer Zhang Yin.
At this time, the police changed their thinking, if the deceased is not Zhang Yin, then the murderer can not be Zhang Yin? Otherwise, why were there two male corpses hidden in his car? Zhang Yin is inseparable from this case.
The police did not immediately contact Zhang Yin, but instead conducted an investigation into his background, Zhang Yin divorced his wife 10 years ago, lived in Taicang City, did a building materials business, drove taxis, liked to gamble, and was detained for lending usury.
After investigation, Zhang Yin was working on engineering in northern Jiangsu with a person named Mao Weixing at this time, and the police immediately realized that Gu Zhongjian had also been engaged in engineering in Hubei before, so would the deceased be Mao Weixing?
In the trunk man's body there is also a two mobile phone entry slip and a room card of a hotel in Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, room 521, the police immediately took the room card to the hotel, after inquiry learned that on October 29, 2008, Mao Satellite did come to this hotel to open a room, at first he lived in room 513, but because the room air conditioning is not good, so temporarily changed to room 521.
After taking the hotel surveillance, the police found that the deceased was not Mao Weixing, but a sentence from the waiter reminded the police, he said, "Room 521 was indeed changed by Mao Satellite, but later it was not himself who lived, but a person named Zhao Jianxin." ”
Coincidentally, the waiter happened to know Zhao Jianxin, Zhao Jianxin was a farmer in Maba Town, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, and the police immediately gave the photo of the deceased to the waiter to identify, and the waiter recognized the deceased at a glance as Zhao Jianxin.
In this case, the police judged that Zhang Yin and Mao Weixing were the suspects in the case, and immediately pursued them, and in the process of pursuing them, the police received a report from Zhang Yin's brother-in-law, Guo Yinxiang.
Guo Yinxiang said, "Zhang Yin called me before, saying that two workers were killed by excavators during the project in Xuyi County, and asked me to take 20,000 yuan to deal with the aftermath."
When Guo Yinxiang came to Xuyi County with money, he found that the two people in the car were dead, and under his repeated questioning, Zhang Yin finally confessed the truth of the matter, it turned out that Zhang Yin and his companions were engaged in tomb robbery work on Dayun Mountain in Maba Town, Xuyi County, but unfortunately, as soon as a group of people entered the cemetery, 4 people died mysteriously, two of the bodies were disposed of by his companions, and the other two were moved to his car and thrown into this parking lot.
Hearing these words, Guo Yinxiang was frightened, he left 20,000 yuan and left, after returning home, he thought about it and finally decided to report the case.
Dayun Mountain is located in the east of Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, the altitude is not high, only more than 70 meters, there is a lake here, there is no exploration of tombs, how can tomb robbers steal tombs here?
Under the unremitting pursuit of the police, Mao Weixing and Zhang Yin were finally arrested and arrested, at this time, they explained the entire process of the case.
According to them, Zhao Jianxin is a famous "lieutenant who touched gold" in Jiangsu, who is very famous in the circle, and has been sentenced for tomb robbery before, in April 2008, Zhao Jianxin took the Luoyang shovel to explore the Dayun Mountain in Maba Town, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, and accidentally found a tomb with high specifications underground.
According to Zhao Jianxin's judgment, the identity of the owner of this tomb is not simple, the scale is very large, there is a lake pool next to the ancient tomb and the ancient tomb is located under the lake.
According to Zhao Jianxin's judgment, the work of robbing tombs may be difficult to complete on his own, so he wants to find some helpers to carry out tomb robbery work together.
Zhao Jianxin immediately found the Mao satellite he had recognized earlier, and after Mao listened to Zhao Jianxin's idea, he saw that Qian's eyes were open, and immediately agreed to join the company, and at the same time found Zhang Yin, who was addicted to gambling, to join the team.
Soon after, under the organization of Zhang Yin, more than a number of professional tomb robbers were gathered, and then the tomb of Dayun Mountain began to attack.
In the name of engaging in engineering, they deceived Gu Zhongjian, the leader of the construction team in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, into Xuyi County, constantly brainwashed him, and forcibly pulled him into the company, and finally Gu Zhongjian could not withstand the temptation and agreed to join the company, and he had several professional excavation talents under him, and these people also joined the company.
There were a total of 13 people in the gang, and each of them had their own division of labor, with Zhao Jianxin as the commander-in-chief of the tomb robbery activities, Mao Weixing, who had strong financial resources, as the logistics minister, Zhang Yin in charge of liaison, and Gu Zhongjian in charge of excavation and construction.
They rented a hotel and a private house nearby, they went out day and night, they would rest in the house during the day, ready to go to the cemetery at night with special tools for excavation, but they did not expect to be discovered by a villager before the action began, the villager felt that a group of people was not a good person, must be a tomb robber, so they negotiated with them, let themselves join the gang to get rich, no way, the team can only allow this villager to join, responsible for the wind.
On November 16, 2008, they quietly came to a remote place in Dayun Mountain with Luoyang shovels, flashlights, and explosives, climbed to the top of the mountain, and began to dig down, on January 4, 2009, after more than two weeks of uninterrupted excavation, more than a dozen people dug out an L-shaped vertical cave more than ten meters deep, directly to the bottom of the pond, and finally opened this Ancient Tomb of the Han Dynasty.
The gang was well-equipped, careful and careful, and the amount of explosives used was also very precise, without alarming other villagers around, and when the cave was almost dug, they also built ventilation ducts inside, in order to prevent the lack of oxygen.
Zhao Jianxin calculated that the final tomb penetration project was set on a good and auspicious day on January 4, 2009, on this day, Zhao Jianxin arranged for three Henan people in the team to complete the dredging of the last section of the pipeline, and the group dug until 2 a.m., and the success was close at hand.
Who knew that at this moment, the shouts of hunan people came from the cave, "Not bad, something went wrong!" ”
Shortly after hearing this, a Henan man crawled out of the cave entrance, but the other two people disappeared, and there was a whirring sound from the cave, which sounded a little strange, Zhao Jianxin realized the danger, but there was also a way to steal, at this time he thought of not running away, but going into the cave to save people.
After all, there are still countless treasures in the cave, and getting rich is at hand, and other people have expressed their opinions when they discuss: they must not give up easily.
Therefore, the experienced Gu Zhongjian and Zhao Jianxin climbed down the ladder in the cave, and after a long time, everyone did not hear a noise inside, at this time the barren mountains and wild mountains were very silent, and everyone's hearts mentioned the throat eyes.
Soon after, the rope tied to Zhao Jianxin's body was pulled twice, which was the signal he sent, and several people outside the cave began to pull the rope in a hurry, and soon pulled out the two Henan people inside the cave, but unfortunately the two people had no breath.
Zhao Jianxin also came out of the cave very quickly, but he could not breathe well, and soon he was unconscious, just when everyone was about to pull Up Gu Zhongjian, an accident suddenly occurred, the soft ladder suddenly broke, and Gu Zhongjian, who was climbing the soft body, fell into the hole.
The people at the entrance of the cave immediately threw the rope into the cave, let Gu Zhongjian wrap the rope around himself, and then everyone used force to finally pull Gu Zhongjian up from the hole, but when Gu Zhongjian came up, there was no breathing, and Zhao Jianxin could not survive after rescue.
In this way, on the auspicious day of the good day, the tomb robbery team not only did not obtain the treasure, but lost four lives.
Faced with this situation, the tomb robbery team that had lost the main bone decided to take over, and the others placed the bodies of two Henan people, and Zhang Yin came to dispose of the remains of Zhao Jianxin and Gu Zhongjian, and his disposal method was simple and rude, that is, abandoned in the parking lot of the Tongcheng Gin Factory.
After the case was solved, experts also restored the real cause of the death of Zhao Jianxin and Gu Zhongjian. The two people in the cave caused a partial collapse in the cave when they used explosives, hindering the circulation of air and making the original thin air less and less, at the same time, after the last passage was blown, the carbon monoxide that remained in the cave for a long time came to the surface, so the two inhaled excess carbon monoxide and quickly entered a coma.
Zhao Jianxin and Gu Zhongjian are the same, they are because they inhaled a lot of carbon monoxide when saving people, carbon monoxide and hemoglobin combined, so that the two people unconsciously some coma, Zhao Jianxin although climbed out of the cave, still fell to the ground, and eventually died.
Gu Zhongjian developed symptoms of coma while climbing the soft ladder, and although he was finally pulled out of the cave, he still did not escape the end of his life.
Zhao Jianxin's favorite program to watch is "Approaching Science", he has been engaged in tomb robbery activities for a long time, and he still has not been able to avoid inhaling excessive carbon monoxide, which also shows the danger of tomb robbery. But it is so dangerous that it still attracts countless daredevils to go after wave.
Under the leadership of Zhang Yin, the archaeologists once again launched the archaeological exploration of Dayun Mountain, the experts did not pass through the original cave entrance, but directly drained the water in the pond, directly downward excavation, soon, about 200 meters long tomb revealed its true appearance, according to the crisscrossing tombs, experts judged that this tomb is the burial place of a prince of the Han Dynasty.
But when the archaeologists entered the tomb, they were very disappointed, in addition to the abandoned tomb robbery tools, there are almost no other items, and those tomb robbery tools are various, different ages, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty brought together different dynasties, it is conceivable that this cemetery has been developed by countless tomb robbery teams.
However, just as the experts were cleaning the cloister next to the burial chamber, they suddenly found a gilded and silver object, which was exquisitely shaped, ingenious, and vivid, not an ordinary funerary product, and the excavation of this item directly ignited the confidence of the archaeologists.
Subsequently, more precious cultural relics were unveiled one after another, piling up an entire room, and the original tomb robbery team only got the gold and silver jewelry of the main burial chamber, and other more valuable items were preserved.
After investigation, a total of 10,000 exquisite lacquerware, musical instruments, weapons and other burial items were unearthed in the cemetery, providing rich materials for the study of the tombs of the princes of the Han Dynasty. Because of the grand scale of the Han Dynasty Mausoleum and the high specifications of the han dynasty, it was selected as one of the top ten new archaeological discoveries in China in 2011.
Experts found the word "Jiangdu" on the excavated chapters, and after consulting a large number of classics, it was determined that the owner of the cemetery was Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu in the Western Han Dynasty, who was the son of Emperor Jingdi of the Western Han Dynasty, the half-brother of Emperor Wu of Han, and the first generation of Jiangdu king who reigned for 27 years.
In 154 BC, Liu Tao, the king of Wu, joined forces with Liu Peng, the king of Chu, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, and other princes to rebel, known in history as the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms", when the 15-year-old Liu Fei took the initiative to ask for war, had courage and strategy on the battlefield, and destroyed the rebel army of the State of Wu in one fell swoop, thus being crowned the King of Jiangdu.
In Tomb No. 1 and Tomb No. 2 unearthed two pieces of golden jade clothing, golden jade clothing is the Han Dynasty emperor and nobles after the death of the funeral dress, the purpose is to make their bones after death do not decay, the complete golden jade cloth by Xinjiang Hetian white jade and green jade composition, each worth not less than 2.4 billion yuan, in the cultural relics value is more difficult to estimate, can be called a national treasure level cultural relics.
In addition, a beautiful sword has been unearthed from the Han tomb, which is more complex than the Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword and the Wu Wang Fu Cha Spear, using a long-lost casting method, even today's most advanced technology can not reproduce it.
A group of tomb robbers did not get any treasure, but in the end they were all captured and sentenced, they were only one step away from the cemetery cloister, but they took their lives and lost their freedom, which was really more than worth the loss.
