In March 2015, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China launched Operation Skynet for the first time against fugitive corrupt elements. The Liaoning Provincial Fugitive Pursuit Office responded positively and immediately listed Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingcao as key fugitive targets.
Fu Yaobo, who was originally the chief of the case trial section of the Benxi Labor Supervision Detachment in Liaoning Province, was included in the list of "100 red notice personnel" in 2014 when he was a sympathizer and zhang Qingcao, who was also a cashier of the unit, embezzled 29.96 million peasants' security deposits and fled the country afterwards.
Fortunately, "the Skynet is restored, and it is not leaked." The pursuit team pursued the murderer across borders, and through more than a year of tracking and investigation, finally successfully escorted Fu and Zhang, who hid in the sky, to the case.
To everyone's surprise, when the police appeared in front of Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingcao, these two outlaw criminals, instead of a trace of panic and fear, said as if relieved: In the past year and a half, everywhere they went was suffering. I'd rather be caught and sent back to jail than live like this again.
This can't help but arouse everyone's curiosity, during the absconding period, what happened to Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingcao?
More than 20 million are missing
On September 12, 2014, the Labor Inspection Detachment of Benxi City, Liaoning Province, found that Fu Yaobo, the head of the case trial section, and Zhang Qingxuan, the cashier, had both disappeared.
They didn't go to work as usual, their phones kept shut down, and even their personal belongings in the office were cleaned up.
But when the staff dialed the phone in the two people's homes, their families were surprised and asked: "Didn't you go to work at the unit?" ”
The crowd suddenly realized that things were not simple, and rushed to check the accounts.
Without checking, everyone was dumbfounded: the deposit for migrant workers under the control of the case trial section was actually 29.96 million yuan less.
At a time when everyone was overwhelmed by the sudden change, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingcao had already arrived overseas by plane, realizing their escape plan step by step.
This plan, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan secretly planned for three years without concealing their families and colleagues.
They calculated all possible routes precisely and then carefully selected the final solution.
For thirteen days, the two traveled to five countries in a row, not daring to stop for a moment until they successfully reached their destination.
Fu Yaobo is full of confidence and believes that the plan is seamless and will never leave any flaws. Obviously, such an idea is too naïve.
Due to the huge amount of money involved, the Liaoning police attached great importance to the case and set up a fugitive team at the first time.
By retrieving the entry and exit records of Fu Yaobo and his wife, the pursuit team found that the two flew first to Thailand, then to Malaysia and Singapore.
The last time they appeared on surveillance footage was at an exit checkpoint in Singapore. This means that the two have left Singapore. Curiously, however, the exit records did not show it.
The police speculated that Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan were likely to have exchanged other identities here to leave the country.
Indeed, as early as before the escape, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxi had already handled grenada investment immigration, thus achieving "evaporation in the world" in Singapore.
After leaving Singapore, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxi flew to the United Kingdom, and from the United Kingdom to the Caribbean island nation, Grenada.
The pursuit team followed the trail all the way to the island of Grenada. However, just as the specific location of the two was about to be locked, the clue suddenly broke - the two disappeared again, without a trace.
In fact, this is the most important part of Fu Yaobo's "perfect plan".
He gave up all his identity and smuggled himself into another island nation in the Caribbean Sea, St. George's, in a disgraceful way. Try to achieve a real "disappearance".
As for why the Saint was chosen as the final destination, it was also well thought out.
Shengge and China have not established diplomatic relations, and even if the Chinese police find out here, it will be difficult to carry out a comprehensive search. Fu Yaobo believes that as long as he and Zhang Qingxuan can act in a low-key manner and live in simplicity, they will be able to be safe and sound.
Therefore, after arriving at Kakuya Island in Grenada, the two found a local guide to smuggle the ferry. But the two never imagined that this would be the beginning of the nightmare.
A painful escape
"You stay here first, and I'll let you know when there's a boat!" The tour guide said this and led Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingyi into a dilapidated old hotel.
The temperature of the room is as high as 35 ° C, and it is like a sauna, and the only food served is hard bread and poor fruit.
Zhang Qingcao was born in a well-conditioned scholarly door, and was also an "old girl" born to her parents in her forties.
Fu Yaobo's heart was also uncomfortable, he himself suffered from high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, gallstones and other diseases, and his sick body could not withstand such a toss. After spending a while in the sweltering and unventilated room, Fu Yaobo burned hot.
He quickly took a medicine brought out of the country, who knew that the medicine that usually worked with one pill did not work at this time. He ate three more in one gulp, and the high fever did not recede.
In his sleep, Fu Yaobo remembered his gentle wife at home, remembered the comfortable life in China, and felt remorse in his heart: The conditions at home are not a hundred times better than here, why should he run out to eat this suffering!
But neither Zhang Qingcao nor Fu Yaobo, who was ill, did not declare their complaints to them, because they all knew in their hearts that all this was the evil consequence of their own sowing.
The beginning of sin begins with the word "greed."
Fu Yaobo originally had a successful career and a happy family, but in middle age, he suddenly became tired of a comfortable life and longed for excitement.
Coincidentally, at this time, Zhang Qingcao was transferred to the unit as a cashier. Dressed and dressed in a seductive feminine way, she quickly attracted Fu Yaobo's attention. And the "leadership aura" on Fu Yaobo's body also made zhang Qingcao, who has a strong vanity, difficult to overcome.
The two are "Wang Ba looked at the green beans - the eyes are up", and both disregarded their married status and quickly mixed together.
In order to please his lover, Fu Yaobo was a bag and jewelry uninterrupted, and he sent a lot of high-quality gifts in a row. However, his economic strength and speed of making money are far inferior to Zhang Qingcao's vigorous materialistic desires. It didn't take long for Fu Yaobo's wallet to be hollowed out.
Fu Yaobo knows that relying solely on dead wages cannot afford the high cost of raising a lover. After some thought, he decided to go into the stock market.
Since the momentum of the stock market was just right in 2006, Wang Chengliang, an old classmate, also easily made millions by speculating in stocks. Fu Yaobo believed that he would inevitably be able to make a windfall.
As for the principal of the stock speculation, Fu Yaobo asked Zhang Qingcao to take advantage of his position to secretly "borrow" from public funds, and then make up for it after making a lot of money in the stock market.
At first, Fu Yaobo still had a shred of sanity. He only let Zhang Qingcao move out half a million yuan. Thinking: If you earn, you can still squander a good period of time; If you lose your luck, you can also take out your family's savings from the excuse to fill this hole, absolutely foolproof.
Zhang Qingcao thought that Fu Yaobo was right, so he set aside half a million yuan from the farmer's deposit of the temporary unit of the enterprise. Unexpectedly, the money was quickly lost.
Although he was mentally prepared to earn and lose money in advance, how could Fu Yaobo be willing when he really lost all his money.
In this way, with the gambler mentality of "at least returning the money", he once again asked Zhang Qingcao to embezzle public funds and invest money in the stock market. Gradually fell into the vicious circle of "the more you invest, the more you lose, the more urgent you are, the more you want to get rich overnight".
Fast forward 7 years, and the money lost to the stock market is snowballing. When Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingyi woke up, they found that the embezzled public funds had reached more than 20 million.
At that time, the department would often audit and inspect the funds, and Zhang Qingcao and Fu Yaobo were anxiously trying to find ways to cover up the problem of the lack of security deposits every day, and they lived with trembling fear.
But it can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a lifetime. The two knew that the money far exceeded their ability to repay, and the hole could never be filled.
In order to escape the punishment after the crime was exposed, the two had a hot head, which gave them the idea of fleeing overseas and starting over.
The two were once selfish and hedonistic, whether they were cheating or embezzling public funds, they never cared about their families. However, as the day of escape approaches, when the two are about to leave their homes and never return, sadness and guilt arise spontaneously.
In the thirteen days of traveling to many countries, Zhang Qingcao's heart was on his daughter who was only 11 years old. Fear that their sins will implicate their daughters and make them stumble in their future lives; I am worried that my daughter will complain and even hate her mother when she grows up.
Fu Yaobo is the same, whenever he thinks of that warm little home in China, his heart can't help but feel a pang of bitterness.
But no matter how much remorse there was in their hearts, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingcao never wanted to look back. They know that if caught, it is a felony and may face the death penalty.
Moreover, before leaving, they deliberately embezzled a huge amount of public funds and took all the gold and silver jewelry with them. At the very least, it can ensure material abundance and live a good life overseas. Psychologically tortured, how can it be a hundred times better than going to jail, must be as far as possible to escape.
Who would have thought that the facts would prove that this period of exile was even more cruel than confessing guilt and confessing to the law.
I'd rather go back to china and go to jail
After arriving at Shengge Island with difficulty, he was unfavorable and suffered a big loss.
Or knowing that they are not familiar with life, do not understand the language, and are sneaky stowaways, the tour guide actually threatened and intimidated, stunned that a large amount of money was extorted, and then arranged a hidden rental house.
The house looked good at first glance, but it was very painful to live in. The whole house does not have a single screen window, and it is as hot as the boiler room during the day, even if three plates of mosquito coils are burned every day, mosquitoes can still bite people all over the body.
In desperation, the two could only withstand the sweltering heat and wear long-sleeved trousers to wrap themselves tightly. A rash that came out of the body made the two misunderstand for an infectious disease, and they were anxious and panicked.
Later, they couldn't stand it, so the two found a small house of only thirty square meters in the depths of a large mountain on the outskirts of Kingston, and went into seclusion.
In those years and a half, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingyi lived a life of not seeing the light of day, they did not go out of the door, they did not go out of the second door, they hid it all day, they were afraid of bumping into the Chinese, and they did not dare to spend the money they had embezzled.
Once the person has nothing to do, he is more likely to think wildly. The two spent all day worrying, constantly searching the Chinese website to find domestic information after their escape.
One day, they happened to see a news item and found that the leader of the original unit had been punished and sentenced for his embezzlement and escape.
The two did not expect that the mistake they had committed would implicate innocent people, and they suddenly felt guilty.
And when they learned that they had been included in the "100 Red Notices" plan, they were even more panicked and did not know what to do.
From then on, they watched closely the arrest program in full swing, and every time the country caught a corrupt person who had fled overseas, a wave of fear struck them, as if to crush them.
As for the thoughts of his family, they have become more and more intense with the passage of time.
Fu Yaobo knew that his wife would play Online Go every day at noon, so he secretly registered an account and went online every day to watch her play Go on time, until she went to sleep when she was offline.
Once, Fu Yaobo found that his wife, who never stayed up late, was still playing games at two o'clock in the morning. He knew that nine times out of ten his wife was insomnia because of his own affairs, and he immediately burst into tears and blamed himself.
Panic, remorse, concern, guilt, these complex emotions are like stones, increasingly piled up into mountains, weighing Fu Yaobo breathlessly.
In order to more or less alleviate a little inner torment, he began to play games day and night, trying to divert his attention and numb himself.
What he didn't know, however, was that it was this move that provided clues to the Chinese police.
Previously, fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan's smuggling behavior once put the tracking work into an impasse.
Seeing that the location was tracked and blocked after reaching the Caribbean, the pursuit team decided to adjust the direction of the investigation and try to start from the personality hobbies of Fu and Zhang. After all, people's faces can be changed, and identities can be disguised, but the habits of words and deeds and personality details cannot be hidden.
Police learned from a colleague that Fu Yaobo was a "game fan, and every time he played a game, he could pile up a tower." Then Shunto explored the melon, carefully studied the dozens of game accounts he had registered in China, and finally focused his investigation on Fu Yaobo's favorite Three Kingdoms games.
Based on this feature, the escape team, with the help of local game companies, conducted a careful screening of users in the Caribbean.
The kung fu paid off, and soon, a special player in a Three Kingdoms game broke into the sight of the escape team.
This player does not have a long registration time, only helps others to practice the account, and the online time is usually late at night in China. Another look at the player's IP address is on the island nation of Barbados, not far from the island of Grenada.
Rich experience in handling cases, and a strong sense of sixth, told the police that behind this IP address are Fu and Zhang hiding in the Caribbean. Without further ado, the Central Committee immediately dispatched 4 members of the team to Barbados for an in-depth investigation.
Affected by local holidays, the acceptance of the patient's illness and hospitalization, cumbersome procedures, etc., the arrest process can be described as very bumpy.
For more than 20 days, four police officers had to brave the scorching sun to walk the entire island and inquire about the two fugitives one by one in the streets.
Fortunately, after some effort, Barbados' largest telecommunications operator, Fowler Telecom, helped determine the true address of the suspicious IP in Sengge.
The Government of Grenada has been more enthusiastic and proactive in reaching out, appointing senior officials to personally consult with the Saint-Germain side. In the end, the three countries successfully led to the joint arrest of the three countries.
On the eve of the trip to Shengge, the pursuit team thought of the twists and turns of the chase and escape for more than a year, and finally decided to make up their minds, and their hearts were nervous and excited.
Before leaving, the four people walked in unison to the five-star red flag of the Chinese Embassy in Grenada, and a sense of mission and responsibility rose in their hearts:
In any case, this time the criminals must be arrested and brought to justice.
On February 1, 2016, the Chinese fugitive team followed the Grenada police to the official arrival on The Sacred Island, following the clues to accurately touch the suburbs of Kingston.
It is worth mentioning that because the Grenadian police have learned in advance that the landlord of Fu and Zhang is a cartographer.
In order to prevent the grass from being startled, Inspector Terence Mason lied that he was going to build a house and asked the roadside carpenter for information about the draftsman. Trying to quietly find the landlord first, and then grabbing Fu and Zhang erren by surprise.
Without thinking, the carpenter not only enthusiastically indicated the location of the draftsman, but also added: "There are two Chinese living inside, and they almost never go out." ”
This sentence shocked everyone, and everyone could almost conclude that the "Chinese" in the carpenter's mouth was Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan.
Sure enough, after the police knocked on the door, they were greeted by two faces that had been seen countless times in the photo.
Seeing the black policeman suddenly come to the door, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan were obviously confused, and their expressions were difficult to hide their surprise.
Until two Chinese policemen stepped forward and whispered, "You should understand what's going on." Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan suddenly understood that they had been completely exposed.
A year and a half of fugitive life, for them is simply worse than life and death, the two are restless at night, do not know the taste, like two walking corpses.
The fear of sin, the self-condemnation of conscience, and the guilt of missing their families haunt their hearts all the time, tearing their hearts like poisonous snakes, making them miserable every minute and second. They would rather go to jail than suffer from this kind of suffering anymore.
Therefore, when the cold handcuffs clasped their wrists, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingxuan did not resist in the slightest, but finally came to their sense of relief and gladly accepted the result.
On February 6, 2016, Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingyi were officially escorted back to China. On August 29 of the same year, both were sentenced to life imprisonment for embezzlement.
At this point, this sensational nationwide prison self-theft case has finally come to a successful end.
The story of Fu Yaobo and Zhang Qingcao's fufa undoubtedly sounded the alarm for those criminals who were still lucky and were fleeing:
Justice will always triumph over evil, the central anti-corruption work will certainly sweep to every corner of the world, and corrupt personnel must face up to their mistakes and take the initiative to surrender in order to strive for leniency. Otherwise, you will always be able to live in the abyss of sin and bear the torture of conscience.
