8 Yeung Uk Road, western Tsuen Wan, is the location of the New Territories in Hong Kong, the tallest building in the New Territories, named Ashin Plaza. Ruxin Square consists of two buildings, of which the tall one is called "Teddy", "Teddy" is Wang Dehui's foreign name, the short one is called "Nina", and "Nina" is the foreign name of Gong Ruxin, the former richest woman in Asia.
After Wang Dehui was kidnapped and lost contact, Gong Ruxin went to the front of the stage from behind the scenes and took on the heavy responsibility of running the Chinachem Group. Ruxin Square was built by Gong Ruxin in honor of her husband, who had never been heard from.
The multi-faceted spy's play of fire set himself on fire
The news of Wang Dehui's abduction immediately became the hottest topic of the year, the Hong Kong police have been trying to find the real mastermind, but under the careful planning of the mastermind Zhong Weizheng, the kidnappers did not show their feet at all, the Hong Kong police investigation work once reached an impasse, the only thing they could find was that the 260 million US dollars paid by Gong Ruxin were quickly remitted to Taiwan, and were quickly converted into Taiwan dollars and taken away.
The Hong Kong police immediately issued an official letter to the Taiwan authorities to assist in the investigation, and what they did not know was that the Taiwan police and intelligence departments were also planning a big thing at this time.
Zhong Weizheng, the soon-to-be-retired sheriff, carefully planned the kidnapping like an old fox, but Baimi always had a slip-up, and the person who led to the revelation of his plot was Cheng Qiyuan, the connector he was looking for in Taiwan.
Speaking of this Cheng Qiyuan, the identity is not simple, he is an overseas Chinese in Hong Kong, as early as the age of 17, he was developed into a spy by the "Bureau of Investigation" of Taiwan's intelligence department, specializing in spying on the Intelligence of the Hong Kong region.
Due to his outstanding performance, he was pinned high hopes by the Bureau of Investigation, and under the first-hand operation of the Bureau of Investigation, Cheng Qiyuan entered Soochow University in Taiwan through the joint examination.
After graduating from university, Cheng Qiyuan was officially recruited into the Bureau of Investigation and became a senior agent. Just when the future was bright, Cheng Qiyuan made the last mistake that a secret agent should make and became a three-sided spy, who not only provided intelligence to taiwan's bureau of investigation, but also to Taiwan's "security bureau."
The Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Security, the two lines belonging to Taiwan's intelligence services, do not intersect much except at the top. Because of the special work, according to common sense, secret agents should not inform two departments at the same time, but the cunning Cheng Qiyuan can provide intelligence to two departments at the same time, and they can take money at both ends.
Cheng Qiyuan not only provided intelligence to Taiwan's intelligence services, but also to Hong Kong's intelligence services, so he intersected with Zhong Weizheng, a retiring former Hong Kong sheriff. Zhong Weizheng planned to make a big move, and naturally thought of this agent who was very successful in the Taiwan region.
On January 18, 1990, Huang Yaoyu, deputy director of taiwan's bureau of investigation, handed over a confidential document to Qiu Minghui, deputy director of the Bureau of Investigation, a top-secret document that Cheng Qiyuan had given to the Bureau of Investigation, reflecting the intention of a Hong Kong smuggling syndicate to smuggle a shipment of arms into Taiwan.
After Huang Yaoyu obtained the information, he did not dare to be sloppy and immediately shared the clues with the Taipei Investigation Station, asking them to investigate the smuggling case.
Zhang Minsheng, director of the Taipei County Investigation Station, based on intelligence, set his sights on a man named "Du Sichun" and sent someone to track him for 24 hours.
The staff of the Taipei Investigation Station tracked Du Sichun for more than 30 days, did not find any abnormality, but grasped the situation that Du Sichun's wife was having an affair, felt very discouraged, and was about to end the work when things ushered in a turnaround.
On April 16, the fifth day of a major kidnapping in Hong Kong, the staff of the investigation station suddenly found That Du Sichun alone on his way to Taoyuan Airport and immediately followed him. At the airport, they discover that Du Sichun has received a Hong Kong guest named "Zhong Hua". What surprised the investigation station was that the person who went to the airport with Du Sichun to pick up Zhong Hua was actually Cheng Qiyuan.
The three left Taoyuan Airport and immediately drove to the Shanliduo Hotel on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei City to check in for accommodation.
The next day, a Hong konger named Zhong Zhineng also came to Taiwan and joined the first three people, and the next day, a Hong Konger named "Huang Shou" also came to Taiwan to join them.
The people of Hong Kong who kept coming alerted the people at the Taipei Investigation Station, and they sent more manpower to track these people.
Cheng Qiyuan is worthy of being a senior agent trained by the Taiwan Bureau of Investigation, has a very strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, and after several people converge, they transfer risks by constantly changing their residences and acting separately, but all of this falls into the eyes of the Taipei Investigation Station.
Once, when Cheng Qiyuan was out in a car, the staff of the Taipei Investigation Station followed him. The vigilant Cheng Qiyuan parked the car on the side of the road, quarreled with the staff, and even almost moved his hands. The Taipei Investigation Station immediately changed a group of people to avoid being discovered.
On the morning of April 26, intelligence officers received news that the group had gone to the market to buy a large number of cartons and put them all into room 508 of the Lailai Hotel.
Zhang Minsheng calmed his breath and continued to instruct the implementation of strict follow-up. In the afternoon, Zhang Minsheng received intelligence again, and a group of them went to the Daan branch of the First Bank and the Bank of Taiwan and withdrew a large amount of cash. Zhang Minsheng decided to close the net.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, heavily armed Taipei investigators rushed in to room 508 of the hotel, and just blocked Cheng Qiyuan, Zhong Hua, and Zhong Zhineng in the room. On the floor of the room, there were a large number of cardboard boxes.
After the personnel of the investigation station opened the cardboard box, they immediately inhaled a cool breath, and all the money in the carton was placed.
The staff verified the banknotes at the scene, which were all fake real banknotes, which meant that this was a major case, and the staff of the investigation station immediately counted the banknotes, a total of 470 million yuan, and all of them were sent to the bank vault for sealing.
The actions of the investigation station also alarmed the other people involved, who immediately went into hiding. The investigation station transferred all the suspects to the Taipei County District Prosecutor's Office, and they also searched Du Sichun's home, and only two toy pistols and a few knives were found. All indications are that this is not a simple case of gun smuggling.
The deputy director of the "Bureau of Investigation", Mr Yau Ming-fai, instructed that contacts should be made with the Hong Kong side to see if there have been any major cases recently.
Wu Yinchun, chief of the third division in charge of this matter, came to the Criminal Bureau and happened to meet Yuan Yinglin, a police officer of the Investigation Unit of the Royal Hong Kong Police, whose purpose in coming to Taiwan this time was to ask the Taiwan side to assist in the investigation of Wang Dehui's abduction.
The case seems to have been very clear, the investigators conducted a surprise examination of the prisoners, Cheng Qiyuan is after all a secret agent, cunning, even the director of the investigation bureau, Qiu Minghui, has found nothing.
However, under the pressure of the bureau, Zhong Zhineng was the first to open his mouth, admitting that he did not participate in the kidnapping case, but only went to Taiwan at his father's request to launder money. His father was none other than Chung Wai-jeong, a former sheriff of the Hong Kong Police Department.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Cheng Qiyuan finally opened his mouth, and he confessed the fact that Zhong Weizheng had single-handedly planned the kidnapping case. Since then, a shocking kidnapping case has been brought to light.
Although the case was solved, there were still many unsolved mysteries, the first mystery was Wang Dehui's disappearance, according to the later confessions of those involved in the kidnapping, after Wang Dehui was kidnapped to the high seas, the kidnappers got the money and immediately threw him into the sea. However, the police have not been able to find his body and have to list him as a missing person. It was not until 1999 that the Hong Kong court classified him as a person who died.
Later, Gong Ruxin went from behind the scenes to the front of the stage to build Chinachem Group into a huge enterprise worth up to 40 billion yuan, and also made her a famous rich woman in Hong Kong. Later, he fought with Wang Dehui's father for an inheritance in court for eight years.
After her husband disappeared, Gong Ruxin resumed the ponytail she liked to tie when she fell in love with her husband, even when she was an old woman, which became a strange landscape in Hong Kong's high society.
The second mystery is why Cheng Qiyuan provided Information to Taiwan's intelligence services on Du Sichun's smuggling of guns, and eventually buried himself.
Guan Shi speculated that Cheng Qiyuan, who has always liked to make money on many fronts, made a fraud.
At the beginning, when Zhong Weizheng invited him to join the company, he did not tell the truth, but only hoped that he could help smuggle a batch of guns to Taiwan. Cheng Qiyuan, who has always liked to eat more, decided to betray Zhong Weizheng in exchange for economic benefits.
However, after the kidnapping, Zhong Weizheng told him the truth and bribed him with 20% of the ransom money, in the face of the huge amount of money, Cheng Qiyuan mistakenly thought that the limelight had passed, decided to take the risk, and finally the clever was mistaken by the clever, buried himself.
Gong Ruxin, the former richest woman in Asia, did not wait for her husband's return until her death. Later, it was also rumored that Wang Dehui was actually not dead and had been detained somewhere, but these secrets may never be solved.
