Sometimes, reality is more shocking than movies.
There are many excellent works based on real cases in our country, and one of them is a movie called "Rescue Mr. Wu", which impressed me.
Wang Qianyuan in 2015 is not very famous, but he played the cruelty, cunning, and cold-bloodedness of the gangster Zhang Hua in the film.
Wu Ruofu, who was kidnapped at that time, also played the policeman Cao Gang in the film.
It is difficult to imagine how Wu Ruofu felt when making this film, if it were not for the rapid action of the Beijing police, he would probably be more fierce.
Wang Lihua (Zhang Hua), a kidnapper who is more cold-blooded and cunning than in the movie, also ended his sinful life because of this case.
Taking this movie as an opportunity, Pi Ge wants to talk to everyone about Wang Lihua.
In the movie, Wang Qianyuan portrays this character very scarily, but the real Wang Lihua may be several times more "vicious and brutal" than the movie characters you see.
And the end of his life was actually doomed in his childhood.
01, the child who is bullied
In 1978, Wang Lihua was born into an ordinary family in Beijing.
To say ordinary, in fact, it is not, Wang Lihua's family is more solid than many ordinary people. He also has a sister who is five years older than himself, and if he grows up at this pace, Wang Lihua may be a talented person.
Unfortunately, when he was a child, Wang Lihua became very rebellious because of his parents' education methods.
Wang Lihua's father and mother had extremely opposite and extreme ways of educating.
The Queen Mother just blindly doted on Wang Lihua and obeyed the younger son, while the Wang Father believed in the set of "filial piety under the stick", so he punched and kicked Wang Lihua when he did not agree.
Therefore, the Wang family formed a strange "circle of power": Wang Lihua listened to his father, his father listened to his mother, and his mother listened to Wang Lihua.
The family environment has cultivated Wang Lihua's stubborn temper, and when he was beaten, he never obeyed the soft, did not communicate with adults to solve problems, never cried, just ran outside, or simply ran away from home.
When Wang Lihua was a child, he was thin and small, and there were often many small outside the school blocking the door asking for money. The stubborn Wang Lihua was beaten for not giving money, and he was also one of the children who were bullied.
However, Wang Lihua only mentioned these things to his family.
He kept everything in his heart, and over time he had his own answer—if he didn't want to be a little sheep to be slaughtered, he had to be a hound that could command other sheep.
The opportunity came quickly, Wang Lihua did not lack pocket money since he was a child, when he bought gadgets and snacks to distribute to the children around him, they have been around him and become his "little follower".
Wang Lihua liked this feeling, he did not like to play with children older than himself, did not like to be instructed, and was only obsessed with the feeling of commanding others, so he was surrounded by children younger than himself.
The little vanity brought him great satisfaction, but the contradiction between the increasing demand for snacks and toys and the dwindling pocket money was irreconcilable, and Wang Lihua could only take a special approach: stealing.
In the interview, Wang Lihua admitted that he began to steal money from the age of 9, brushing the night, not only stealing his parents' money, but also the teacher's wallet.
When stealing became a habit, Wang Lihua found that he could not change it.
Because of a series of bad behaviors before, teachers in the school told other children to stay away from Wang Lihua, and students did not dare to look at him when they saw him between classes.
As soon as he returned home, Wang Lihua was also "strictly guarded".
When he was nine and a half years old, Wang Lihua's family did not dare to put money, and his parents put the money in the unit to prevent thieves from him.
Wang Lihua confessed that when his mother wore a skirt in the summer, her wallet had to be tied to her arm with leather bands all the time, just for fear that he would steal it again.
In the most serious case, in order to take out the money that his relatives hid in his cabinet, Wang Lihua found an axe to split the furniture. Because of stealing money, Wang Lihua did not know how many beatings he had suffered from his father, and the relationship between father and son slowly became uncontrollable.
02, forced mother to divorce
At the age of 12, Wang Lihua once again stole money and was caught by his father.
This time it was another beating, and Wang Lihua, who had reached the age of graduating from primary school, ran away from home in a huff. But this run was not the same as other kinds of children scaring their families.
This time, Wang Lihua did not plan to go home again.
Unable to find her son, the Queen Mother was in a hurry, and she went to all the places where Wang Lihua could go, without the whereabouts of her son at all.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day after Wang Lihua's departure that she found her beggar-like son in a culvert next to a railway in Chongwen District.
The Queen Mother's affection for the calves suddenly surged into her heart, and she told Wang Lihua to go home, but Wang Lihua did not go: "Unless you divorce my father, I will not go back when I die, and I will never want to see him again." ”
Wang Lihua never expected that his words would be taken seriously by his mother.
The Queen Mother gave Wang Lihua all her money that night, and then turned her head and went home. After more than a week, when Wang Lihua was found again, she had already divorced her marriage.
Hearing of his mother's divorce, Wang Lihua was overjoyed.
Not only because his "authority" was once again verified by his mother, but also because he felt that he would no longer have to live in his father's shadow in the future, and he could believe that he could do whatever he wanted.
But only a year later, Wang Lihua found that there was no money at home for him to toss.
There was no money in the family, So Wang Lihua changed the target, he stole neighbors, stole relatives, stole the downstairs commissary, stole the money and distributed it to the younger brothers, and then took the lead in fighting.
Wang Lihua, who is only 13 years old, has become a regular visitor to the police station, and it is mentioned in the interview that on the most day, Wang Lihua was involved in five police stations because of fights and theft.
But for a minor, the police have no way, in addition to verbal admonition and education, they can only let Wang Lihua go home again and again.
This kind of unrestrainedness made Wang Lihua even more intense.
After graduating from elementary school, Because he did not accept a habitual thief in junior high school, Wang Lihua was sent to work school by his mother. Here, Wang Lihua found his own life value.
He found that he was surrounded by children similar to himself, so he quickly became a "big brother" and gathered a group of younger brothers, sneaking around could not satisfy Wang Lihua's appetite, he began to "do something big".
03, robbery, kidnapping, killing
Wang Lihua's life is like an out-of-control wild horse, galloping in an irreversible direction.
At the age of 16, Wang Lihua's girlfriend was raped. He shaved his hair and took up a knife to take revenge, but before the crime could happen, he was stopped by the residents calling the police.
On July 13, 1995, 17-year-old Wang Lihua and a 15-year-old younger brother, armed with kitchen knives and fake grenades, broke into the home of a businessman in Beijing and robbed more than 20,000 mobile phones and other belongings.
Due to the first major case, Wang Lihua was quickly arrested by the police. The Fengtai court sentenced Wang Lihua to nine years in prison for robbery.
Wang Lihua, who went to prison, did not sincerely repent, but felt that fate treated him unfairly and was a problem of society.
Wang Lihua painstakingly summed up the reasons for his "failure" and connected with several prison inmates to prepare for a bigger vote after he was released from prison - robbing the national treasury.
In prison, Wang Lihua even collected a lot of information about the bank president, and then made a note one by one, preparing to execute after he was released from prison.
He also had a crazy idea: to kill his own biological mother after he was released from prison.
Because he loves his mother very much and is very dependent on his mother, she feels that this can make her mother feel at ease, and also let herself go to the rivers and lakes without any restraints.
In September 2002, Wang Lihua was released from prison early for his good behavior.
After returning home, looking at his mother's worried back, Wang Lihua put down the knife that he had raised many times. In the end, he failed to kill his mother, which may be the only trace of humanity left in Wang Lihua's heart.
The mother can not kill, but the "big thing" must be done.
To do it, you must have weapons, and in March 2003, Wang Lihua began to "look for guns". He went to Yunnan and bought 3 "imitation 64-style" for 9,000 yuan, and the money quickly ran out.
What should I do if I run out of money? Wang Lihua had a perfect plan: kidnapping.
He knew a man named Wang Daliang, and knew that his father was a rich man. So Wang Lihua called out to Wang Qingxiao, Dong Limin, and others he knew in prison and kidnapped Wang Daliang at a barbershop in Pinggu.
The average kidnapper will not kill after the ransom. Although it is a crime, there are also rules for crime.
But Wang Lihua did not play his cards according to the routine, and after receiving a ransom of 3 million, he sent a text message to Wang Qingxiao.
The text message was only two short words, but it made a fresh and innocent life disappear in an instant: done.
Not only did the kidnapping not follow the rules, Wang Lihua's share of the loot was uneven, he took 2 million yuan himself, "right and left arm" Wang Qingxiao and Dong Limin, only divided into more than 100,000, others even less.
After getting the money, Wang Lihua first went to Yunnan to spend 600,000 yuan to buy a batch of arms, including submachine guns, standard pistols, grenades, etc., and the remaining more than 1.4 million were used by him to gamble, take drugs, eat, drink and have fun.
The money was soon squandered, and Wang Lihua wanted to kidnap him again, and he targeted Wang Daliang's younger brother Wang Xiaoliang.
However, because of the loophole in the implementation of the plan, Wang Xiaoliang escaped, and Wang Lihua was angry and demoralized, and began to kidnap people casually without a plan.
On February 2, 2004, he kidnapped a driver surnamed Du in a Mercedes Benz on Beijing's Second Ring Road. Who knew that this driver was a borrowed car and could not afford to pay the ransom, so Wang Lihua had to temporarily imprison Du in a remote courtyard.
The next day, a distraught Wang Lihua drove to the entrance of the Leopard Hao Bar in Sanlitun, Beijing, and stared at the owner of a BMW off-road vehicle.
This owner is Wu Ruofu.
Wang Lihua and the three men impersonated police officers of the Fengtai District Public Security Bureau in Beijing, pulled out a pistol and took Wu Ruofu to the car. When Wu Ruofu's friend called the police, the car had already gone far.
04. "Rescue Mr. Wu" real version
Because it was a sensational case, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau quickly set up a special case team, and there were reporters who reported the whole process, and with the help of these videos, we were also able to see the entire rescue process.
After Wu Ruofu's friend identified him, the police quickly identified the kidnapping suspect as Wang Lihua.
Because of the previous kidnapping of the big and small king, he has been watching for a long time, and this time he was in a hurry to commit the crime, so that the police caught the horse's foot.
Taking advantage of the night, the Beijing police dispatched a large number of police forces to touch Wang Lihua's foothold. Saving one more minute is one more hope for the hostages, one less threat of death.
Seven hours after the incident, Wang Lihua called and demanded a ransom of 2 million yuan.
Half an hour later, Wang Lihua called again, with an arrogant attitude: "Wu Ruofu is dead, but you still have to take the card and withdraw the money." ”
After 18 hours, the police still had no clue to Wang Lihua's hiding place, and finally at about 7:40 p.m., Wang Lihua and the Santana 2000 he drove were discovered by the police.
The police quickly followed, concluded that it was Wang Lihua, and began to organize arrests. Because Wang Lihua carried lethal weapons such as pistols and grenades, it was dangerous to capture.
After careful arrangement, the swat police resolutely carried out the arrest.
From Wang Lihua's body, the police found two pistols and a grenade.
After being arrested, Wang Lihua could not see the slightest fear on his face.
The policeman asked, "Do you understand what's going on now?" ”
Wang Lihua replied, "What are you talking about?" ”
The policeman asked, "First of all, one last thing." ”
Wang Lihua, who was forced into the corner, was both tempting and teasing: "What is the last thing, I see if you know about this matter." ”
After speaking, a light and joking expression appeared on his face.
It wasn't until the police said Wu Ruofu's name that he sighed: "I really know." ”
The usual attitude and unsparing tone are not at all like the police trying prisoners, but rather like joking between friends.
Afterwards, police showed off the weapons he was carrying, including loose-hair grenades, two pistols, id impersonating police officers, and cell phones.
Although he was arrested, Wang Lihua still refused to explain where Wu Ruofu was being held, and in turn made a request to see his girlfriend.
In the process of meeting his girlfriend, Wang Lihua finally relaxed and said the location of Wu Ruofu.
In fact, this "meeting" also hid Xiao Jiujiu inside. There was a metal master key in the mezzanine of Wang Lihua's underwear, and he wanted his girlfriend to help him uncuff him, but the police found it in advance.
Wang Lihua then said sadly, "I already knew that you had this equipment, so I made wood." ”
After the assault of the special police, Wang Lihua and his gang were netted, and Wu Ruofu and Xiao Du were also successfully and safely rescued.
In the police car, Wu Ruofu's eyes were tearful: it felt like a dream.
05. Confessions, reversals and compromises
At 9:30 a.m. on August 31, 2004, the Beijing Municipal Second Intermediate People's Court opened a trial of Wang Lihua's case, and the auditorium was full of people, and more than 20 media reporters were present.
Although the atmosphere at the trial scene was serious, the main criminal, Wang Lihua, had a relaxed face, and when he entered the courtroom, he squeezed out a smile and eagerly searched for something in the audience.
The trial book is 34 pages long, and during the trial, Wang Lihua looks left and right, either confronting the camera, or rolling his eyes at the camera, or looking here and there, looking at it with a look of indifference.
Compared with the solemn and deep expressions of the other prisoners, Wang Lihua's pretense was very contrary to the ease.
At the scene of the first trial, Wang Lihua confessed to all his crimes. In response to the prosecutor's question about how many guns he bought, he first said "I can't remember clearly", and then he bowed his head and broke his fingers to count them one by one.
He talked and laughed, constantly adjusted his sitting posture, and used his hands to compare when he was happy.
After the inquiry was completed, Wang Lihua had no remorse, he smiled and said, "Anyway, I am all dead, how to do it!" ”
However, after the completion of the first trial, Wang Lihua's case involved 10 people, and 9 people appealed, but Wang Qingxiao did not appeal.
On October 14 of the same year, the Beijing Municipal Second Intermediate People's Court rendered a first-instance judgment, in which wang lihua, Wang Qingxiao, and Dong Limin, the three main perpetrators of kidnapping actor Wu Ruofu and other victims, were sentenced to death, and the other seven accomplices were sentenced to life imprisonment to 5 years' imprisonment for kidnapping, illegal trade in firearms, and harboring.
After Receiving the verdict, Wang Lihua, who was in the detention center, immediately changed his mind and said that he wanted to "appeal."
Subsequently, at the scene of the second-instance trial on July 16, 2005, Wang Lihua retracted his confession on the spot, and he and Wang Lihua, who pretended to be relaxed in the previous first-instance trial, sentenced the two people.
"The text I sent was 'withdrawn,' not 'done,' not meant to kill the hostages." He argued that he had only carried out kidnappings and had not instructed his accomplices to kill hostages.
"I know that kidnapping can be sentenced to life (imprisonment), and killing someone is the death penalty. I'm in my 20s, I didn't want to kill people, and I was quite angry when I knew they killed people. ”
Wang Lihua almost overturned all of his previous confessions, and perhaps there was still a trace of luck in surviving.
However, with the facts of the crime clear and the evidence overwhelming, he has no hope of living.
To be precise, from the moment he decides to kill the hostage and take the lives of others, his end is doomed.
06. The last night before the death penalty
While watching the interview video, Pi Ge found that Wang Lihua was completely immersed in his "law of the jungle", for him, there are only two kinds of people in society, one is not dead, such as his mother, sister, girlfriend and a group of brothers, the other is "prey".
Wang Lihua described his values this way: "I just think on my own, I think you deserve to die, I think you shouldn't die, you shouldn't die." ”
Even if he was an accomplice in a crime, Wang Lihua did not fully trust him. Almost alone, he thought that his accomplices were "selfish and could have killed me."
The answer of the accomplice was also "I have never believed him (Wang Lihua)."
Working with him is only for money, and if you have money, you may kill him.
On September 13, 2005, the day before the day of execution, Wang Lihua, Dong Limin, and Wang Qingxiao saw the last of their relatives.
When he saw his mother and sister, Wang Lihua was still pretending to be relaxed: "I actually have nothing to say, I will get it when I see you, I am quite content when I come in, it is very good." ”
In front of his relatives, he also told the truth: "I am not wronged, I let people be killed, this time, do not hide." ”
Seeing his mother crying, Wang Lihua also hurried to comfort: "(I) have not suffered, don't cry, pay attention to the body." ”
Looking at the photos of his relatives, Wang Lihua also said silently: "I am worthy of myself, and I have spent some money myself." ”
Throughout the visiting process, Wang Lihua kept a "hippie smiley face" until his mother cried and cried, "Son, is the mother sorry for you, the mother is incompetent, will not educate, the mother is guilty", Wang Lihua finally could not hold back, covered his face with his hands and cried.
These few tears may be the most sincere in Wang Lihua's life.
"I'll repay you in the next life when I have a chance."
This cry seemed to have completely changed back into an ordinary person, and in the middle of the night, in the face of the police who came on purpose, Wang Lihua, who was only a few hours away from the death penalty, burst into tears again: "If there really was an afterlife, I wouldn't do this." ”
Wearing ankle bracelet handcuffs, he leaned against the wall and wiped his eyes, looking like he really regretted it, but the police at the detention center still woke up to the audience:
This kind of crying, in fact, the death penalty made him really feel afraid, a kind of crying of fear. He is not sincerely remorseful, and such a person who regards human life as a child's play cannot truly repent.
At 10:00 a.m. on September 14, 2005, Wang Lihua, Dong Limin, and Wang Qingxiao were escorted to the execution ground, and their criminal lives ended.
Wang Lihua's wrong life is related to his parents, to his family, to his strange personality, and to his unsound personality.
When we watch movies, we often feel that the characters and plots in movies are too "dramatic", but after watching Wang Lihua's story, we will find that no matter how exaggerated the plot in the movie is, it is far less terrible than reality.
An audience member once asked Wu Ruofu why he didn't play himself in the movie?
Wu Ruofu did not answer, this terrible memory, who does not want to come again in their lifetime, is not it?
