A fugitive who took 13 lives and shot 3 policemen, has been absconding for more than ten years, just like the tough guy character in the movie. But after being recaptured, he burst into tears in court, claiming that he regretted it. Who the hell is he?
In the cold early hours of 2005, a number of burglaries suddenly occurred in a residential area near Jinshui Avenue in Longnan County, Jiangxi Province. This series of cases immediately attracted the attention of the local police. The police of the Longnan County Public Security Bureau acted quickly, and through a rigorous investigation and the help of surrounding cameras, the police suspected that the same group of people were responsible for these cases, and that the perpetrators were likely to be out-of-town criminals.
In order to block the retreat of criminals, the police set up checkpoints to intercept them at key locations and conducted intensive checks on traffic arteries such as stations. During an inspection of a bus bound for Ganzhou City in Longnan County, the police focused on a male passenger with a foreign accent whose facial features were highly similar to those of the suspect in surveillance.
The man was taken out of the car by the police for a detailed examination. Unexpectedly, in his backpack, the police found multiple mobile phones and a large amount of cash, and upon investigation, these were all stolen items. Just as the police were about to take him back to the bureau for further examination, another unexpected scene happened: a short man suddenly rushed out of the crowd and attacked the police with a dagger in his hand.
In the narrow carriage, a policeman named Xiao Ran could not react, and a wound about 13 centimeters long was cut on his face. Despite the pain, Xiao Ran tried his best and blocked the retreat of the knife-wielding man with his legs. Just as the man with the knife was about to stab Xiao Ran again, another policeman, Zeng Donghai, stepped forward in time and blocked the fatal knife with his left hand.
In the scuffle, the knife-wielding man tried to escape, but was subdued by the combined efforts of the police and the crowd who arrived quickly. The two injured police officers eventually collapsed in pools of blood due to excessive blood loss, and colleagues rushed them to the hospital for emergency treatment.
When the interrogation began, the knife-wielding suspect identified himself as Zhou Quan, an illiterate man from Chongqing who had been abducted and trafficked to Fujian since he was a child and had since been wandering around Jiangxi and other places. His accomplice, Zou Xiongyuan, from Pingjiang, Hunan, met at an Internet café in Ganzhou, and then came to Longnan County together to commit theft.
But when the police conducted an in-depth investigation of the thorough background, they found more suspicious points. Zhou Quan's identity is difficult to verify, and his descriptions of his relatives and past are extremely vague. Further police investigation found that Zhou Quan had multiple identities registered across the country, which caused alarm among the police. They begin to suspect that Zhou Quanquan may be more than just an ordinary thief.
The investigation gradually deepened, and the police finally discovered the shocking truth through fingerprint comparison and past case records: this man named Zhou Quan is actually a major criminal suspect who has been absconding for many years and has been involved in many serious robbery and homicide cases. Even more shocking, he also shot and killed three police officers 13 years ago and has since become a wanted target of the police.
Zhou Quan, who confessed to his crimes after his arrest, told investigators that he had only wanted to live incognito, but chose to continue committing crimes when he was desperate. He said that in the dead of night, he would think of those innocent victims and his heart would be filled with remorse.
After a long interrogation and evidence collection, Zhou Quan was formally indicted, and in the courtroom, he faced the judge's trial, showing unprecedented calm. But when the final verdict was read, he finally couldn't hold back his tears. He said that if there was an afterlife, he would never go down this path again.
The case caused a great shock in the local area. It is inconceivable how a criminal who has been absconding for years and has been so brutal can escape justice. It has also given rise to deep thinking about how the police can remain vigilant in the ongoing fight against crime.
As the case deepens, more unsolved mysteries gradually surface. The police began to re-examine the unsolved cases of the past, hoping to find more clues and solve more unsolved cases. The well-thought-out case has also become a warning to people about the seriousness of the crime and the seriousness of the law.
Zhou Quan is like a tragic movie, in his tears, we see how a person walks step by step into the abyss, and also sees the power of law and the inevitable victory of justice. His regret and grief are a wake-up call to those who are still lost. It is also a profound reflection on society and for everyone: no one can escape his fair trial before the law. I hope that this will not happen again, and that everyone can cherish life, abide by the law, and work together to maintain the harmony and tranquility of society.
