Every time he traded, Li Moumou was extra careful.
He couriered the dead bodies of wild animals from poaching to his next home, leaving only his phone number and pseudonym. When the goods arrive at the destination, the courier calls him, and he calls the buyer to receive the goods.
In the payment link, he is also particularly "exquisite", and when he buys goods from the upper family, he only pays cash; When shipping to the next home, he does not directly collect money, but lets the other party transfer the money to a friend's WeChat.
Li Moumou, who was born in 1985, is so "experienced" because he has a criminal record. As early as 2012, he was sentenced to five years for illegally buying and selling rare and endangered wild animals.
But this time, he planted it anyway.
The police seized dead bodies of civets and other wild animals in the home of suspect Li Moumou.
In June this year, Sichuan Shehong police arrested 15 criminal suspects, including Li Moumou, in many parts of Sichuan, as well as In Guangdong and Guangxi, and seized 389 dead civets, white-faced cats, pig badgers, hares, and snakes, and 533 live civets. It was found that the "general distributor" Li Moumou had sent more than 5,100 kilograms of dead civets and white-faced beavers to Guangdong, Guangxi and other places from January this year to the occurrence of the case, and more than 2,200 kilograms of dead civets and white-faced beavers were seized in his residence.
Behind this, there are thousands of pounds of civets, white-faced beavers and other wild animals trading flow, as well as poaching, trafficking in wild animals "black industrial chain"...
The secret is out
The police searched for and rescued the lost elderly and accidentally found the trap
At the end of last year, when the police of the Jinhua Police Station of the Shehong City Public Security Bureau in Sichuan Province were searching for and rescuing the lost elderly on the local mountain, they accidentally found a trap placed in the mountain forest. The police noticed that this trap is also equipped with an alarm, which is a "professional" poaching behavior at a glance.
The Jinhua police station gave this clue back to the Shehong City Public Security Bureau's Sen Police Brigade, which immediately launched an investigation. The Forest Police Brigade quickly detected a suspicious man, Wang Moumou, a three-person person in Mianyang, and locked Liang Mou next to him at the same time.
"Some people noticed that Wang Moumou appeared in the mountain village of Shehong on a motorcycle many times, and his appearance was suspicious." Liang Yu, deputy captain of the Forest Police Brigade of the Shehong City Public Security Bureau, told Red Star News that Wang and Liang bought a large number of traps and alarms online, and then tied the traps to alarms and placed them on the mountains of Shehong, Xichong and other places for hunting wild animals such as civets.
Police seized traps and alarms.
The police found that the alarm is numbered in order, and its signal can be connected to the mobile phone through a software, and when there is an animal trap clip, the alarm will send a signal on the mobile phone and can be located.
These poaching suspects are quite experienced, often riding a bicycle on the first day to put the trap on the animal track, staying in a hotel in a nearby town that night, and then going up the mountain to "receive goods" according to the alarm signal the next day.
Poachers identified the scene where the traps were placed.
The police handling the case did not immediately arrest Wang Moumou, but followed the vine along the trading chain. The police found that Wang and Liang sold the wild animals they caught to Xiong in Daying County, Sichuan, and Xiong gave the goods to Li in Yibin, Sichuan.
In the pursuit of Li Moumou, the police handling the case locked his "on-line" in Ziyang, Bazhong and other places in Sichuan.
Behind the chain of interests
Wild animals are sold to Guangdong and Guangxi at a higher price
According to Liang Yu, Li Moumou's family is in the countryside of Pingshan County, Yibin, running a breeding farm, raising small fragrant pigs, civets and other animals. But at the same time, he also bought wild animals from 4 "upper homes". And his 4 "upper homes", some go directly to the mountains to poach, and some are "middlemen".
"The main acquisition of civets and white-faced cats, because of the high price, the market demand is large." Liang Yu told the Red Star News reporter that Wang X and others who hunted sold the civets to the "middleman" Xiong X at a price of about 55 yuan / catty; Xiong Moumou sold it to Li Moumou at a price of about 75 yuan / jin. Li Moumou will buy the dead bodies of wild animals, and then sell them to Guangdong and Guangxi at a price of about 100 yuan / catty.
On June 11, the special case team took separate actions in Yibin, Suining, Mianyang and other places to arrest Li Moumou and other criminal suspects. During further interrogation, Li Moumou confessed his "upper home" in Bazhong, and three poachers were released on June 29.
After investigating Li Moumou's courier number and call records, the police found 7 recipients in Guangdong and Guangxi. Among them, Li Mou in Wuzhou, Guangxi Province, and Liu Moumou in Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, bought a large amount, and the two were arrested in July this year.
According to shehong police information, at present, 15 criminal suspects in the case have arrived at the case, including the entire industrial chain from poachers, middlemen, general distributors, and consumers.
Dead wild animals were found in the suspect's freezer.
It is understood that the special case team seized a total of 389 dead civets, white-faced cats, pig badgers, hares, and snakes, and 533 live civets. It was found that the "general distributor" Li Moumou had sent more than 5,100 kilograms of dead civets and white-faced beavers to Guangdong, Guangxi and other places from January this year to the occurrence of the case, and more than 2,200 kilograms of dead civets and white-faced beavers were seized in his residence. Liang Yu said that according to the weight of a dead civet cat 7-8 kilograms, a total of thousands.
"Total distribution" was arrested
Anti-reconnaissance ability is strong, only with cash transactions, never transfer money
The police handling the case found that as early as 2012, "general distributor" Li Moumou was sentenced to 5 years for illegally purchasing and selling precious and endangered wild animals. Therefore, Li Moumou, who has "industry experience", has strong anti-reconnaissance ability and is particularly cautious in the process of "operation".
Li Moumou, as little as half a month, more than a month, will drive his own van around the territory of Sichuan, to Santai, Bazhong, Anyue, Daying and other places to buy wild animals. They will contact in advance and quickly load the car when they arrive at the scene. In the transaction with several "upper homes", Li Moumou only used cash and never transferred money.
Liang Yu told Red Star News that poachers may catch other wild animals such as badgers, pheasants, hares, etc., but Li only buys civets and white-faced beavers, because these two animals have a large market demand in Guangdong and Guangxi.
If the civets and white-faced cats purchased by Li Moumou are alive, they are raised in their own farms, and if they are dead, they are frozen in their own freezer. When the "next home" needs it, he ships by courier. Li Moumou is very cautious in delivery, there is no consignee's phone number and name on the order, only his own phone and a pseudonym. After the goods arrived at their destination, the delivery man called him and he contacted the buyer to pick them up. When collecting money, he does not directly collect money from buyers, and each time he asks the other party to transfer the payment to different friends, and then let the friends transfer it to himself.
The suspect was apprehended.
On June 10, the task force carried out separate arrests. After Li Moumou received the goods in Anyue on the same day, he originally planned to go to Daying to find Xiong Moumou to receive the goods, and the police handling the case set up a point in Daying to squat. But until late that night, Li Moumou did not appear in Daying, but turned around and returned to Yibin halfway. The task force drove to Yibin and arrested him at 2 a.m. on June 11.
Liang Yu said that he learned afterwards that Li Moumou, who was preparing to go from Anyue to Daying on the evening of June 10, met a traffic police officer who checked drunk driving on the road, and he canceled The transaction plan of Daying. Back at home, in the face of the sudden appearance of the police, Li Moumou was particularly calm, he said to the police at the scene, "I cooperate, do not wake up the child." ”
Liang Yu introduced that at present, the case is about to be handed over to the procuratorate, and the police have recently rushed to Henan Province to investigate the merchants that sell animal traps and alarms, and the case is still being further handled.
