"Comrade policeman, you are finally here! I am Peng Hongju, I am a human trafficker, I must be honest, you should arrest me back quickly, I beg you!"
In 2003, in a small village in Shanxi, the police came to a villager's house according to clues, the head of the farmer's family, an old man with gray hair herding sheep, the villagers told the police that more than ten years ago, this old man came back from outside, a woman was locked in a broken cave, and she had already been tortured to the point that she had no human appearance.
The police rescued the imprisoned woman from the broken cave, and it was confirmed that this woman was Peng Hongju, a human trafficker who mysteriously disappeared 12 years ago. So what is going on? As a human trafficker, how was Peng Hongju sold by her peers?
Let's find out!
1. The young couple in Chongqing took a crooked path to make money, selling 85 women and children in six years
The story of Peng Hongju should start with her growth experience.
Peng Hongju was born in a small mountain village in Chongqing, their family is a well-known poor household in the village, because the family is poor, she has not even had the opportunity to study since she was a child, and she began to help her parents do farm work when she was a few years old, because she often can't eat enough, Peng Hongju looks forward to growing up quickly, thinking that she will marry a good family when she grows up, so that she will not have to starve and suffer from poverty.
However, in their local area, in fact, everyone's conditions are similar, even if there are a few families with good conditions, they don't look down on Peng Hongju at all, so she finally married a young man named Chen Dingqi in a neighboring village under the arrangement of her parents.
Chen Dingqi's family conditions are similar to Peng Hongju's family, and the two gave birth to a daughter after marriage, and life is even tighter. Both of them want to be cultured or uneducated, and they want to have no craftsmanship, and it is naturally difficult to make a living by farming, so what should I do?
At that time, Peng Hongju had a relative in his family, who was originally poorer than them, but he didn't know what he did outside, and he "became rich overnight".
Peng Hongju was envious and curious, she had a good relationship with this relative, so she asked the other party what she had done to make money, and whether she could take her to do it together.
The relatives looked Peng Hongju up and down a few times, and did not say it explicitly, but asked Peng Hongju: "Can you do anything for money?"
After getting Peng Hongju's affirmative reply, his relatives told Peng Hongju the trick of making a fortune.
What Peng Hongju didn't expect was that this relative turned out to be a human trafficker, relying on human trafficking, he became a wealthy household in the village in a short period of time, and the relative told her that selling a person can earn at least a few thousand yuan, Peng Hongju's eyes lit up when he heard it, because a few decades ago, their family's annual income was only 1,800 yuan.
It is said that people die for money, birds die for food, although Peng Hongju knew that this "way of making money" was illegal, but she was afraid of being poor since she was a child, and she decided to follow her relatives to do it.
At that time, Peng Hongju told her husband about it, Chen Dingqi heard it, and his first reaction was the same as Peng Hongju, this thing was illegal, but he was also poor, looking at the child crying because of hunger, Chen Dingqi also made up his mind.
He discussed with Peng Hongju, they worked for a few years, and when they made enough money, they would stop, and then the family would live a good life, Peng Hongju nodded and agreed, so after they discussed with their relatives, they followed their relatives to start human trafficking.
After entering this industry, Peng Hongju found that there were many doorways in this illegal business. At first, they thought that their relatives were "fighting alone", but later the relatives led them to meet their accomplices, and Peng Hongju learned that human trafficking is also committed by gangs, and everyone has a different division of labor.
Worried about being discovered by the police, their gang has an unwritten rule, that is, human trafficking, must go to other provinces to commit crimes, and must not engage in human trafficking locally, under the arrangement of the team, Peng Hongju was in charge of the northern region at that time, she took a train to the north to abduct and sell children and women, especially some young girls who went out to work at a young age, or took the train to go to school in other places, are Peng Hongju's main abduction targets.
Chen Dingqi was responsible for finding buyers, they had a clear division of labor, and they cooperated with each other, and soon the business of abducting and selling people was prosperous, and after half a year's effort, Peng Hongju and his family were "lifted out of poverty and became rich."
After doing this business for a long time, Peng Hongju's courage is getting bigger and bigger, the rules in their team are that they must not start locally, but Peng Hongju feels nothing, she thinks that she has been doing "business" for so long, and she has never been discovered by the police, so in 1992, Peng Hongju abducted a child from the next village.
At that time, the family found that the child was missing, and they hurriedly called the police for help, and in Peng Hongju's hometown, in fact, many people in the village were engaged in this illegal business, so the police quickly locked down Peng Hongju's criminal gang according to the clues.
Through investigation, from 1986 to 1992, when Peng Hongju was discovered, she and the gang members abducted and sold at least 85 people.
At that time, Peng Hongju's gang, including her, had a total of 43 members, and the police traveled to many places at that time, and arrested a total of 42 people according to clues, including Peng Hongju's account Chen Dingqi, only Peng Hongju disappeared mysteriously, and the police have been looking for many years, but there is no news of Peng Hongju.
Because there was no need for real-name system to buy tickets at that time, and there was no monitoring equipment in various places, the police thought that Peng Hongju had fled to a remote area and changed his name and surname to hide, so the police issued a wanted warrant for Peng Hongju nationwide, but several years have passed in a blink of an eye, but there is still no news about Peng Hongju.
At that time, the police once suspected that Peng Hongju might have fled to the border area and may have absconded out of the country in Yunnan, but they didn't expect that 12 years later, the police finally learned of Peng Hongju's whereabouts, but they never thought that she had "suffered retribution" in the 12 years that she mysteriously disappeared, so what is going on?
2. Human trafficker Peng Hongju mysteriously disappeared for 12 years, and the police received clues and went to Shanxi to investigate
In 2003, He Yong, a police officer in Chongqing who had been in charge of Peng Hongju's case, received a phone call with a clue that he said that in the village of Duoyin in Hequ County, Shanxi Province, there was a woman who was imprisoned, as if it was Peng Hongju, a human trafficker wanted by the police for many years.
Although the other party is not 100% sure that the imprisoned woman is Peng Hongju, He Yong still decided to go to Shanxi to investigate, even if the other party is not Peng Hongju, he can rescue an innocent woman who is imprisoned, which is also what he should do as a policeman.
At the home of a villager named Zhao Xiurong in Duoyin Village, the police found a woman who had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, and through identification and understanding of the situation, this woman was Peng Hongju, a human trafficker who mysteriously disappeared 12 years ago.
Seeing the police come to the door, Peng Hongju was so excited that she shed tears, she didn't think about running away at all, but took the initiative to admit her identity and begged the police to arrest her quickly.
For Peng Hongju, in the past 12 years, she has been imprisoned in this broken cave, and she has to be tortured inhumanely every day, and life is worse than death, so the police come to the door, which does not mean that she will be sentenced, but that she is finally rescued.
It's really ridiculous to say, Peng Hongju is a human trafficker and has been trafficking in human beings for many years, but she has been imprisoned for 12 years, and no one can say a word when they see it: "Retribution is not happy"!
It turned out that he accidentally saw Peng Hongju's wanted notice on TV, and found that the woman wanted by the police was very similar to the woman Zhao Xiurong in the village who bought it back as a daughter-in-law more than 10 years ago, so the villager called the police.
It was also because he provided clues to Peng Hongju that the mystery that had plagued the police for 12 years was finally revealed, and everyone finally knew where Peng Hongju, who mysteriously disappeared, went. So why was Peng Hongju imprisoned in rural Shanxi? What happened to her 12 years ago?
3. Human trafficker Peng Hongju was retributed on the way to escape: he was sold by his peers to an old bachelor in Shanxi as a daughter-in-law
In 1992, when Peng Hongju's gang was targeted by the police, seeing that people in the gang were constantly arrested, Peng Hongju, who had already been frightened, couldn't take care of her husband and children anymore, so she packed up her things and ran away overnight.
Because the train ticket did not use a real-name system at that time, Peng Hongju fled all the way north and finally came to Inner Mongolia from Chongqing.
When she first arrived, she didn't know what she should do next, although Peng Hongju ran away with a lot of money, but the money was not enough for her to live for a lifetime, not to mention that she had to evade the pursuit of the police.
After several rounds, Peng Hongju came to a construction site to do odd jobs, because Inner Mongolia is a remote province, and Peng Hongju changed her name and surname, and the place she went to was also remote in the remote, so she was not discovered after she settled in Inner Mongolia.
On the construction site, Peng Hongju met an enthusiastic guy, this guy called Peng Hongju "big sister", he said that Peng Hongju and his sister in his hometown in Shanxi looked very similar, he went out alone, saw Peng Hongju, and felt very cordial in his heart.
At the beginning, Peng Hongju was still very cautious, after all, her wanted warrants were all over the country at that time, and she was afraid that she would be recognized by the young man, and then the other party reported her.
However, the young man's cheerful enthusiasm still made Peng Hongju vigilance, Peng Hongju was also unrelated in Inner Mongolia, this young man took care of her very much, and also made Peng Hongju feel very warm in his heart.
Originally, Peng Hongju planned to stay in Inner Mongolia forever, but more than a month later, this young man suddenly told Peng Hongju that he was leaving Inner Mongolia, he said that he couldn't make much money working in Inner Mongolia, and a letter from his hometown said that he had found a job for him, and he was ready to pack up and go back to his hometown in Shanxi.
finally had such an acquaintance, Peng Hongju heard that the other party was leaving, he was very disappointed, the young man seemed to see it, and he asked Peng Hongju whether he was going to work in Inner Mongolia all the time, or if he was going to find another way out in the future.
Speaking of Peng Hongju as a fugitive, she naturally doesn't know where to go, and don't look at Peng Hongju as a human trafficker, she is ruthless in abducting and trafficking, but she has no idea at all on the way to escape.
As soon as he heard that Peng Hongju had nowhere to go, the young man invited Peng Hongju and himself to go back to his hometown in Shanxi, and the young man said that although their hometown was remote, the locals were good, and it was definitely better than staying in Inner Mongolia.
Peng Hongju was moved, so she and the young man stepped on the train to Shanxi, all the way, Peng Hongju took the train and the bus, took the bus and took the donkey cart, and then walked a long way on the mountain road, she finally followed the young man to a village.
Peng Hongju was rejoicing that she had come to such a remote place, and the police would not find out, but she didn't expect the young man to lead her to a dilapidated house.
A black and thin old man in his 50s walked out of it, Peng Hongju thought that the other party was the young man's father, but he didn't expect the old man to smile maliciously while looking her up and down.
Peng Hongju has been a human trafficker for six years, she is very familiar with such eyes, at this moment she finally understands that she is "beating geese all day long, making geese peck their eyes", this enthusiastically called her "Sister Peng", a kind and kind young man, in fact, he was walking with her, but Peng Hongju entered the devil's cave, and it was too late to regret it.
In this way, Peng Hongju was sold to the old bachelor Zhao Xiurong at a price of 3,500 yuan by the young man, at first Peng Hongju also thought about escaping, but she was later scared by Zhao Xiurong, and because of disobedience, she was locked in a dark broken cave all the year round, Peng Hongju couldn't escape if she wanted to, and 12 years passed in a flash.
When the police found Peng Hongju at that time, they were also shocked by the scene in front of them, because everyone guessed that there were many possibilities for Peng Hongju's whereabouts, but no one thought that she would be sold by her peers.
is the so-called retribution is unpleasant, Peng Hongju in the past 12 years, she has experienced a handful of abducted and trafficked women in dire straits, speaking of which she is also relatively lucky, after all, she was imprisoned for 12 years, and was rescued by the police, in fact, there are many women who have been abducted and trafficked, and they have not waited for the day they are rescued until they die.
Although Peng Hongju was illegally imprisoned for 12 years, she was still a heinous human trafficker, so through the first trial, Peng Hongju was finally sentenced to death, ending her criminal life.
Before the execution, Peng Hongju was interviewed by reporters, she said that she "regretted it very much", if she could do it again, she would definitely not "hurt others with conscience to make money", but there is no regret medicine in the world, she committed a crime, she will inevitably be severely punished by the law.
