In Pucheng County, Weinan County, Shaanxi Province, there was such a group of people, who were commensurate with their teachers and apprentices, who were full of loyalty and morality, but who made a living by lending usury and violent collection, once ran rampant in the township for more than ten years, and the victims were miserable, and some had to leave their hometowns. After 8 months of investigation and evidence collection, the police swept away this triad organization. Several of the main offenders were eventually sentenced by the court to prison terms ranging from twenty-four to twenty-five years.
Since 2000, the members of the triad organization, headed by Ye X, Yang X, Liu X, and An X, have continuously recruited idle members of society to systematically carry out various illegal and criminal activities such as intentional harm, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, extortion, and illegal detention through loan sharking. From individual merchants to public officials to deputies to people's congress deputies, many people have suffered greatly, and Mr. Li is one of them.
Victim Mr. Li: In May 2009, my company did a 3.2-kilometer earthwork in this Baoxi Railway, Liu forced a forklift that was about to be scrapped into my place, at that time the monthly social rent of the machinery was 18,000 yuan, but he almost did not use the machine after it came, and he said many times that he had to get it away, he did not get it, and as a result, by December 2009, I calculated the machinery fee of 90,000 yuan for the evil forces that I called Ye Mou and Li Mou in a hotel on the East Ring Road of the county. There was also 30,000 yuan for refueling, a total of 120,000 yuan, and the 120,000 yuan was calculated as a usury with a monthly interest rate of 20%, and calculated until May 13, 2010, forcing me to force me to give him a 590,000 yuan note (IOU).
The victim is forced to take advantage of the loan shark on the grounds of the use of machinery
According to Mr. Li, in addition to doing some fruit accidents, he also contracted some projects, but between 2009 and 2012, members of the gang forced him to take a loan shark on the grounds of so-called mechanical royalties, and after paying off more than 1.3 million debts, he still owed more than 2 million yuan.
Victim Mr. Li: In fact, he did not borrow their money, he just gave you a rolling interest, interest rolling interest, this plus, interest rate hike, anyway, he has his algorithm, each month either give 100,000 yuan, or play 100,000 yuan of IOUs, a total of 2.49 million yuan to March 8, 2012 hit a note of 2.49 million yuan, in the middle of this I also paid back more than 1.3 million cash and transfers.
In order to avoid debts, Mr. Li once ran away from his family and ran to Sichuan to make a living as a part-time worker, and when he returned to his hometown in 2015, he also hid in Tibet, and had no time to take care of business and family. In December 2018, the mafia-related organization headed by Ye Mou entered the police's field of vision, and then the police immediately set up a special case team to secretly investigate and collect evidence against the gang, and Mr. Li was also the first victim contacted by the police.
Pucheng County Public Security Bureau Criminal Police Brigade Police Officer Chen Zhipeng: This case is more typical, the earliest is not to owe him money, put a forklift 90,000 yuan, (the so-called royalties) to repay more than 1 million, even owed more than 2 million, the behavior is relatively bad, during this period in order to ask Mr. Li for an account, but also in the town with a blackboard to owe money and not to return the street, in the process of asking for money, Liu Once illegally detained him in the hotel, about 50 hours or so, he finally hit a note of more than 300,000 yuan before being released.
In order to collect debts, this gang can be said to do everything to the extreme, and even when Mr. Li sneaked back from Sichuan to his hometown to worship the ancestral grave, he was illegally infringed upon by them.
After more than half a year of investigation and evidence collection, the police found that criminal organizations of a mafia nature headed by Ye X, Liu X, Yang X, and An X often committed murder with knives and injured others at will in order to establish "prestige" or illegally amass wealth; threatened, intimidated, and extorted others for no reason; used violent and soft violence to collect debts, beat, tied up, and detained others; and seriously infringed on the personal safety and property safety of the broad masses of the people. According to statistics, between 2005 and 2018, this organization committed more than 40 violent crimes, injured more than 30 people, caused serious injuries to 1 person, and slightly injured 15 people, which belonged to a typical criminal organization with the nature of the underworld.
Hanging sheep's heads and selling dog meat Fake business is actually illegal lending
According to the police investigation, this organization slowly formed a climate around 2000, all the way under the guise of "shops", "restaurants", "hotels" and other legitimate industries, but in fact carried out illegal activities such as usury and violent collection.
Wang Ning, police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: Around 1992, Ye Mou began the so-called mixed society in Pucheng County, and in the process of mixed society, he and others had many times held daggers, military stabs, or razors, and they were fierce and fierce, and they were twice re-educated through labor in the early 90s.
After re-entering the society, Ye Mou did not reform himself, but intensified. He opened a pawn shop, but he only "hung sheep's heads and sold dog meat."
Wang Ning, a police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: Through the process of opening a pawn shop, he and the information from the outside gave him a kind of intention to make money by lending usurious loans. He once told his apprentice that it was faster to use money to earn money, and he began to recruit some people who were released from labor and social idlers to start his career of usury.
Using pawnshops as a base, we continue to recruit idle people to expand the scale
As the scale of the organization continues to expand, Ye's so-called apprentices also continue to collect apprentices, and the number of people in the organization gradually reaches as many as fifty or sixty people, who gather together to engage in illegal and criminal activities such as usurious lending and violent debt collection, and gradually form a criminal group with a "pawn shop" as a base and members of the "pawnshop" with a triad nature.
Commensurate with master and apprentice, develop fierce and fierce members to be competent generals
As Ye continues to expand the scale of the organization, his name is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people want to make friends with him and gain benefits. In this evil organization, another important leader, Yang Mou, became Ye Mou's right-hand man because he was good at fighting fiercely.
Wang Ning, a police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: In 2011, in order to develop a "mixed society" in Pucheng County, Yang Zhitao was introduced and inquired about, Ye Zijun, nicknamed "Langur", had a relatively high "prestige" in Pucheng County, and specially ran to Ye Zijun's pawnshop. Yang Zhitao has been learning martial arts since he was a child, his physical fitness is relatively good, his fighting heart is fierce, and he is the first to emerge no matter what the occasion.
Cai Yongdong, a police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: full of tattoos, in public places, bare-chested in summer. Yang Zhitao likes to practice boxing and fitness, and he exposes all the tattoos on his body in the gym, which will bring great psychological shock to the masses.
In order to consolidate the power of the organization, the members should worship brothers among themselves
In order to consolidate the power of the organization, Yang and others in the organization spontaneously formed brothers, and at the same time, he quickly developed his own subordinates in Pucheng County and the surrounding Fuping County, constantly attracting idle members of society to join in and jointly obeying the leadership and command of Yu Ye. Ye mou requires that members must obey their own words and be loyal to the organization, implement the "management system" arranged in advance and reported afterwards, and once someone disobeys, Ye will instruct Yang to practice "family law" admonition to him.
Wang Ning, a police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: He (Yang Mou) worships Ye Mou as a teacher. After becoming a master-apprentice relationship, he quickly grew into Ye's so-called big apprentice, that is, the closest apprentice to Ye, and then after ye's trust, Yang himself imitated Ye, he gave him a few apprentices, and some apprentices, so our organization formed a relatively stable organizational relationship of master with apprentice, apprentice with apprentice.
After the formation of a relatively stable organization with the nature of the underworld, Ye Mou stored a large number of machetes and other crime tools in the hotel he operated, and the hotel became a den for organizing the implementation of violent debt collection and illegal detention.
Wang Ning, a police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: These sticks and knives are some of the tools used by the suspects detained by our special case group. Short Nepalese short knives, there are machete sticks, baseball bats and these machetes, the most harmful is these homemade knives, homemade knives are welded with the blade of the cutter and steel pipe, the injury is relatively strong, there is a tool that we have a victim, holding this long-handled machete slash.
Registered investment companies have wantonly absorbed more than 30 million yuan in deposits from the public
In this criminal and evil organization, there are two other important members - Liu Mou and An Mou. Under the guise of so-called investment companies, they have absorbed 30.07 million yuan in public deposits. In addition, they also engaged in illegal lending with Ye and Yang, and eventually formed a "community of interests" headed by four people.
Around 2013, Liu took advantage of the social influence of An Mou, the former director of the Pucheng County Commerce and Trade Bureau, and with the help of An Mou, registered and established a so-called investment company, and illegally absorbed 30.07 million yuan of public deposits to carry out usurious lending activities. At the same time, Ye and his subordinate Yang and others were used to set up an "internal debt collection team" to collect principal and interest for their company by violent and soft violence. Whenever An encountered difficulties in collecting debts, he also instructed Liu to collect debts for him. Liu mou imitated Ye Mou's management method, unified management of the company, issued orders, and bought people's hearts and minds by issuing bonuses and rewards, and served the company and itself.
Wang Ning, police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: In the process of lending usury, there will be some accounts that are difficult to recover, and after Liu and Ye communicated with each other, Yang and his apprentices set up a so-called debt collection professional team. They have formed a community of interests between you and me, I have you, and they have intertwined with each other, and jointly or separately carried out 113 cases of intentional harm, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, illegal detention, extortion and extortion. In the whole case, more than 30 people were injured and more than 20 million yuan of illegal wealth was accumulated, causing a very bad social impact among the masses.
The police set up 18 arrest teams to eradicate the cancer
Because this organization has been in the local area for many years, many victims dare to be angry and dare not speak out, which has brought many difficulties to the police's investigation and evidence collection.
Lei Jianli, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province: In the process of collecting evidence, at the beginning, whether it was the common people or the masses, especially these victims, they did not dare to cooperate or provide. Because Ye Mou and Yang Mou have been occupying Pucheng for a long time, they have formed psychological and physical and mental harm to these people, and these people dare not reflect it.
When the special case team secretly contacted a victim, Lin Mou, it had been learned in advance that Lin Mou only borrowed 50,000 yuan from Liu Mou, and in the case that he had already repaid more than 90,000 yuan, Liu said that the victim still owed him more than 50,000 yuan, and repeatedly beat Lin mou and insulted personality, but when the police questioned the victim, Lin mou said that there was no such thing.
Li Jingang, police officer of the special case group: (Liu instructed his subordinates) They prepared an iron chain similar to a dog chain, tied Lin to a sofa, after being chained to the sofa, they brought two dogs, the hunting dog looked at Lin on the door, and they tied this Lin like a leashed dog, and tied it in this steel factory for one night, and the next day his mother came and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from his relatives to return to Liu Jinqi. Since then, Lin Mou has not dared to live again in Pucheng County, and then went out to hide debts.
Constantly talking to dispel worries The victims told their tragic stories
In order to sit on the evidence, the police talked with Lin and his mother many times, constantly popularized the law to them, and only after dispelling the other party's concerns did they let Lin talk about his experience.
Li Jingang, police officer of the special case group: Afraid of retaliation. And then after we finally worked on his mother, what did his mother say? It was the snot, it was crying very badly, it was very wronged, her son was hurt a lot, and her son did not want to cooperate with us, because he was afraid that Liu Jinqi would continue to retaliate against them after he came out. Then we did work on Lin Mou, kept doing work, and finally dispelled these concerns of him, and then he told us about the situation of these cases.
With the deepening of the investigation, the time for arrest is gradually ripe. Since February 2019, the police have mobilized more than 150 police personnel from many places to set up 18 arrest teams and carried out three batches of centralized network collection operations, and finally completely eradicated this cancer that has been entrenched in Pucheng County for many years.
Wang Ning, police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: After the criminal suspect was arrested, on the one hand, we took the initiative to investigate, and on the other hand, we also issued a notice of collection of clues to the society through our WeChat public signal and the form of wide posting. In a very short period of time, the number of readers of our public account reached more than 100,000, and we also received more than 200 reports from the masses in a very short period of time, and verified 25 cases through verification, that is, 25 of our 113 cases were reflected by the masses after we collected clues.
During the arrest, the police encountered many obstacles. On February 14, 2019, when Yang mou was at home to give the child a full moon, all the members of the organization, including his master Ye Mou, also appeared at the banquet, and after the police and other guests dispersed and left only the backbone members, there came a "one pot end", and more than 90% of the members of the organization were arrested in this operation. However, when the police arrested Yang, an unexpected accident occurred.
Wang Ning, police officer of the criminal police brigade of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province: The timing we chose was that Yang Zhitao spent the full moon on his son in his hometown on February 14, and after we waited for a large number of guests to disperse, his backbone members were arrested. When Yang Zhitao was arrested, Yang Zhitao had the act of swallowing blades, but he was stopped by our police in time.
In the process of further digging into the case, the police further discovered that the mafia gang had been entrenched in Pucheng for many years, suspected of committing intentional injury, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, illegal detention, extortion, obstruction of official business, gathering crowds to disturb social order, forced transactions, intentional destruction of property, illegal absorption of public deposits, illegal intrusion into residences, false lawsuits, gambling, fraud, contract fraud and other crimes, a victim recalled that at that time he only borrowed 800,000 yuan of working capital from Ye, However, after returning the other party's 1.06 million yuan, it was also forcibly occupied by a number of properties.
At present, the gang leaders Ye X, Liu X, Yang X and others have all been sentenced by the people's court to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 24 to 25 years, and this mafia-type organization has been declared to an end.
