At 8 p.m. on October 21, 1983, a 17-year-old boy dressed in a suit sneaked into the Hunan Provincial Museum with the crowd. After a while, in the exhibition hall of cultural relics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, dozens of cultural relics were packed into woven bags by him.
Judging by the sharpness of his movements, he should be a habitual offender.
When he returned home, his mother not only did not criticize him, but praised her son for doing a good job.
After that, he helped his son collect all the cultural relics one by one.
Some artifacts that are not easy to handle, either into braziers, or into sewers.
Subsequently, the mother and son went back to their rooms as if nothing had happened.
You know, this mother is a high-achieving student who graduated from the law department of a well-known university and served as a lecturer in the university.
The son's approach has clearly broken the law. She, as a mother, not only did not stop it, but also helped her son sell the stolen goods.
What is the reason for this? Her son behaved like this at the age of 17, and what does it have to do with her mother?
She shielded her son so much, what was the end of this child?
At 8:05 a.m. on October 23, 1983, a scream broke the early morning silence of the Hunan Provincial Museum.
The scream was just issued by guo hong, the museum's narrator.
As soon as he opened the door of the showroom, he saw that the glass on the window was all broken, and the glass of the six display cases was shattered into slag and scattered on the ground.
The ground was full of dirt that had been stepped on, and there were a lot of obvious pry marks on the cabinet next to it.
The museum was stolen! He immediately made a report to his superiors.
Finally, after investigation, it was found that the thieves used a bamboo ladder to climb up the window between 6 p.m. on October 22 and 8 a.m. on October 23, breaking glass and sneaking into the museum.
In the end, 31 precious cultural relics, 4 line-bound books and 3 replicas were all stolen from the museum, with a value of nearly 1 billion.
The world-famous plain gauze single coat is also among them, this plain gauze single coat is as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as smoke, and is the world's thinnest clothing to date.
It is hidden deep underground, and after thousands of years, it has reappeared in the world, and contemporary talents can see the extremely advanced processes of silkworm farming, silk reeling, and textile in the Western Han Dynasty.
For the plain yarn single cloth, the value of its existence has long exceeded its existence itself. The same is true of other historical artifacts.
Cultural relics embody the wisdom and sweat of the working people of a period of history.
Through cultural relics, we can travel back thousands of years, get a glimpse of the style of that era, and appreciate the political, economic and cultural characteristics they show.
Its value and significance are evident.
In this regard, these lost cultural relics must not only be recovered, but also recovered in the shortest possible time.
If you delay for a minute, the cultural relics will have an additional risk of damage.
It is precisely because of this that Hunan Province has defined the theft of cultural relics as a "special two or three cases", led by Deputy Director Li Yuru, who has a wealth of experience in investigation, as the team leader, in order to solve the case as soon as possible and let the cultural relics return to their place.
While the investigation team was at the scene to extract clues from the thieves and identify and lock the suspects one by one, the boy's mother was preparing gasoline at home.
Her son, on the other hand, watched his mother's series of operations unhurriedly.
Later, recalling this scene, the boy said that he was used to it, and usually after he stole things home, his mother would help him to make some points, and he just needed to watch from the side.
The group's meetings went on after another.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of November 1, the group received a report from the masses that there was a different kind of cloth bag at the door of a hut next to the martyrs' cemetery. Investigators immediately rushed to the scene.
After opening the cloth bag, I saw that the 15 stolen cultural relics in the exhibition hall were all in it.
On November 4, 13 stolen artifacts also appeared on the counters of the local post office. Judging from the words "Provincial Museum Receipt" written on the package, it should be that the thief placed the package here.
The previous 15 pieces, plus the current 13 pieces, a total of 28 cultural relics have been returned, so where are the remaining 10 cultural relics? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?
At 11 a.m. on December 12, good news came out of the scene.
After identification by the team members, they found that the pry marks on the seal plate in the museum were very similar to those made by a triangular scraper.
This triangular scraper is exactly one of the incriminating evidence left by a thief named Xu Anti-Emperor who has a criminal record when he steals a store.
In addition, the modus operandi in the museum on that day was also very similar to the modus operandi of Xu Anti-Emperor's daily life.
Combined with the footprints left at the scene of theft in the museum, it is very likely that this xu anti-imperialist is the suspect in this case.
After the target was targeted, deputy director Li Yuru led the team to Xu Anti-Emperor's home, verified the relevant situation, and escorted Xu Anti-Emperor to the Public Security Bureau.
I didn't know how to arrest him, but when I caught everyone, I found that this Xu anti-emperor was just a 17-year-old teenager. His case shows that this person has committed a lot of crimes and is a habitual thief who is skilled but not well-skilled in theft.
What is even more bizarre is that from his social information, this teenager should not have embarked on this road.
Before being arrested and imprisoned, the child was actually a model student with excellent grades.
Moreover, his family conditions are extremely superior, his mother is a senior law student, and his father is a mathematics teacher at the First Normal University in Hunan Province.
Logically speaking, Xu Anti-Emperor should not have embarked on a crooked road at a young age and become a habitual thief, what happened to this?
After all, it was a child. After Xu Anti-Emperor was escorted to the Public Security Bureau, the technicians took pictures of Xu Anti-Emperor and measured his height, and then began interrogation.
Xu was also very honest about his actions and quickly confessed all the facts.
As the investigators speculated, Xu entered the provincial museum at 8 p.m. on October 22. After entering the museum, he violently smashed the cabinet door and stole all the cultural relics.
When the teenager said his reason for stealing, the crowd was even more shocked and dropped their jaws.
"No why, just for the thrill seeker."
In xu's eyes, these priceless treasures are just something more challenging than in a convenience store.
He stole these artifacts just for a thrill.
Asked how he dodged the infrared alarm in the museum, Xu Anti-Emperor confessed that he cut off the power supply in the museum before entering the exhibition hall.
In this way, he can enter the museum with a big wave, and no matter what kind of cultural relics he tramples in the museum, no one will find it.
Speaking of this, Xu Anti-Emperor suddenly raised his voice a few points, and he began to show off his exploits.
At that time, there was a female corpse in the exhibition hall, and in order to overcome his fear, Xu Anti-Emperor did intensive training for a period of time in the morgue of the Xiangya Medical College of Central South University, thinking that he was bold.
On the first night, after he entered the morgue and saw the dead body, he was momentarily creeped out and grabbed the door.
The next night, after the first day of psychological construction, he was able to easily lift the corpse cloth on the corpse and identify the body by gender.
On the third night, he entered the morgue as if he were in his own bedroom, looking indifferent and strolling leisurely. Once inside, he would say hello and shake hands with the corpse.
After three nights of intensive training, Xu Rebello successfully overcame his fears. After that, it is time to study the route into the museum for theft.
Subsequently, he admitted that the two previous packages had been sent back by him and his mother.
As for the other remaining cultural relics, Xu Anti-Emperor frankly said: "You will never be able to find them back." ”
Xu Anti-Emperor did not leave his mother for three sentences, and it is not difficult to see from this that this mother played an extremely important role in the process of Xu Anti-Emperor's theft and disposal of these cultural relics.
In order to retrieve the remaining cultural relics as soon as possible, the investigators went to Xu Anti-Emperor's home and escorted his mother back to the bureau for interrogation. Upon inquiry, the mother's name was Xu Ruifeng, and she was a teacher at the Hunan Institute of Education.
Sure enough, it will never be found.
On the same day, after Xu Rebello stole the cultural relics home, he handed them over to Xu Ruifeng for full handling.
Some good collections, Xu Ruifeng wiped them clean, and put them one by one in the idle place at home.
As for those that were not easy to preserve, Xu Ruifeng put them in a basin, drizzled them with gasoline, set a fire, and burned them to ashes.
Burned by Xu Ruifeng as garbage, there were 7 precious lacquerware and a plain yarn single coat.
In an instant, the treasure that condensed the painstaking efforts of the ancient people for thousands of years turned into nothing.
Perhaps considering that the nature of his son's theft incident was different from the previous petty theft, after a few days of hesitation, Xu Ruifeng decided to package the remaining 28 cultural relics and send them anonymously to the public security bureau twice.
Recalling the incident afterwards, Xu Ruifeng said that she actually did this to save her son from legal punishment and prison.
Xu Ruifeng thought that as long as she anonymously sent the thrown objects back, the police would not track them down, let alone pursue the legal responsibility of their mother and son.
As a law lecturer, she completely disregards the dignity of the law and regards national cultural relics as a child's play.
As an adult, she ignores objective laws and lives in her fantasy world, treating the police as a bunch of fools, thinking that she can escape legal punishment by directing herself and acting out a play.
As everyone knows, from beginning to end, she is the biggest joke.
Emperor Xu thought so, and his father, Li Guangrong, did not think so.
When Li Guangrong learned the specific situation of their mother and son, Xu Anti-Emperor and Xu Ruifeng had been sentenced to 15 years' suspended death and 15 years' imprisonment for theft, damage, and cultural relics.
In fact, today's scene, as early as the day Xu Anti-Emperor was born, Li Guangrong had expected something.
It can be said that Xu Anti-Emperor has come to this step today, all thanks to Xu Ruifeng.
Xu Ruifeng thought that he was full of progressive ideas, but in fact it was all the style of feudal parents.
Xu Ruifeng studied law and worked as a teacher at the Hunan Institute of Education after graduating from university in 1959.
Just as the so-called knowledge is not equal to having thoughts, Xu Ruifeng is a typical representative of this sentence.
Although Xu Ruifeng has a college degree, she is rigid in her thinking and extremely recognized in her work.
Because of Xu Ruifeng's growth experience when he was a child, or the reasons for his life after that, since Xu Ruifeng had a memory of the anti-emperor, Xu Ruifeng had a strong desire to control.
In 1965, Xu Ruifeng and Li Guangrong married. In 1966, Xu Ruifeng gave birth to Xu Anti-Emperor at the Xiangtan People's Hospital.
Xu Ruifeng had to have a caesarean section because of the difficulty of childbirth, which suffered a lot of torture, so when she gave Xu Anti-Emperor a household registration, she forcefully stated that she had suffered so many sins and children, and she must take her surname.
Li Guangrong naturally refused, and the two did not quarrel about it, but Xu Ruifeng's toughness finally won.
After winning the title, Xu Ruifeng named his son Xu Anti-Emperor, which means to oppose US imperialism.
Due to work reasons, after the birth of Emperor Xu, the husband and wife began to live separately, one in Changsha and the other in Xiangtan, during which they lived separately for ten years.
During the separation, Emperor Xu lived with his mother Xu Ruifeng.
Xu Ruifeng's seizure of the title from a man seems to be an impact on traditional thinking, but in fact, she only regards her son Xu Anti-Emperor as her own private property.
Xu Ruifeng dared to challenge authority, but at the same time she stuck to authority.
Xu's life, growth, and education must be carried out according to her plan.
She is that theory, and her goal is the goal of Xu Anti-Emperor.
The feudal authoritarian education method is vividly reflected in Xu Ruifeng.
She said one, Xu Anti-Emperor can't say two, she let Xu Anti-Emperor sit, Xu Anti-Emperor can't stand.
The opposite of tyranny is bottomless coddling. Xu Ruifeng set various rules and regulations for Xu Anti-Emperor, and at the same time, she allowed Xu Anti-Emperor to play in this box.
Perhaps it is due to the inferior nature of man, or perhaps it is the nature that yearns for freedom.
In this way, the more Xu Ruifeng controlled, the more Xu Anti-Emperor wanted to resist.
Xu rebelled against the emperor by releasing the evil of human nature to find stimulation, and by looking for stimulation to release the repressed self in his heart, to oppose his mother.
Stills from Garrison's Death Squad
This is the fundamental reason why Xu Anti-Emperor embarked on the road of theft at a young age.
Xu Anti-Emperor confessed that the reason why he stole the cultural relics in the museum was actually to imitate the characters in the American TV series "Garrison Death Squad".
He wants to be like the characters on TV, and he wants to establish his merits through theft, so that he can become a "hero" and become the self he really wants to be in his heart.
At first, Xu Anti-Emperor was just stealing some worthless gadgets, but soon the teacher went to Xu Ruifeng, who had been strict with Xu Anti-Emperor since childhood.
She was dissatisfied with the teacher's "fuss", turned her head and comforted her own child, no big deal.
This made him go farther and farther down this road, which was already immature, until he personally sent himself to prison.
When the police came to the door, she even seemed to be "martyred" and stepped forward, intending to take all the blame.
In 1994, Xu was released on parole. His mother, Xu Ruifeng, was released from prison early in 1992 for her good performance.
Helpless, after all, it is easy to get out of prison, and the heart is difficult to understand.
After being released from prison, Xu Ruifeng wanted to "discipline" Xu Anti-Emperor more strictly, so he locked him in the house and did not let him go out, and Xu Anti-Emperor finally went insane under such mental torture that did not see the light of day.
Xu Ruifeng himself also suffered from "neurosis" and other diseases, and scolded and grinned at his neighbors all day long.
If Xu Ruifeng can regard the child as an independent individual, a dignified and thoughtful person, and guide the child correctly when he steals something for the first time, Xu Will not become a criminal and spend the rest of his life in chaos.
