Some time ago, just in time for the spring light, I went to Shanghai to see a speech by Wapi: "I am not a hero, I am just a security guard." ”。 On the way from the hotel to the venue, driving on the bustling streets of Shanghai, wapi and I mentioned the case that occurred in Shanghai.
From 1988 to 1993, Tan Longru, the general manager of Shanghai China Travel Service, maintained a 5-year relationship with his unmarried female driver, Wang Hui, and caused Wang Hui to become pregnant and have an abortion twice. Later, because Wang Hui had been asking for marriage, the married Tan Longru, in order to maintain his reputation and remove trouble, together with the driver Jin Jian'an, killed Wang Hui and threw his head and body into the sea, which was extremely cruel.
I had planned to comb through the detailed information I could find in the case, but it turned out that the public reports circulating were very rare and few. There is only one longer in-depth story called "Sin-Ridden", written in 1998, from the 12th issue of Archive Spring and Autumn magazine in 2012. There is also a 1996 film called "Sin" adapted from this case, which can still be seen on the B station.

The cover image is taken from the film "Sin", which is based on this case. Most of the following case information is from the aforementioned in-depth report "Crime-Ridden", in which most of the details are explained after the arrest of tan, and some facts are provided for the primary and secondary school students who talked about it.
Born in 1948, Tan Longru was the proud son of heaven since childhood. In elementary school, he was the captain of Yanping Road Primary School, and when he was in middle school, he was a student of the 67th class of Shanghai's key middle school, Shixi Middle School. According to the students who talked about him, he has been a "small cadre" held by teachers and schools since he was a child, and he is very conceited and wants face.
Tan Longru's career has been quite smooth after joining the work, and in the early days, he went all the way from the grassroots level to a cadre at the Long March Farm in Shanghai, and also met his wife here. In 1979, Tan Longru attended the National Congress of Intellectuals and Youth, and not only participated in the symposium held by the Politburo, but also drafted the "Letter to the National Intellectuals." Tan Longru walked all the way to the clouds, and when he was in his 30s, he was transferred to the Farm Bureau as the party secretary.
In February 1988, the 40-year-old Tan Longru was promoted again, and before he became the general manager of agriculture, industry and commerce, he had hepatitis A. During the recuperation period at home, colleagues visited her, including Wang Hui, a 31-year-old female driver. She bought some fruit and asked with a smile whether she would keep herself after taking office. Talk about replying, after you go to the new unit, you will maintain the basic personnel arrangement and will not change. According to the aftermath of the conversation, Wang Hui did not leave much impression on herself in this first encounter, because she was neither beautiful nor had anything to make him feel moved.
In May 1988, Tan Longru officially went to the General Administration of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce to become the general manager, and Wang Hui became his driver. Wang Hui was driving a Shanghai brand car, and at the same time picked up Tan and another deputy general manager, talking that if he went out alone for a meeting, Wang Hui would only serve him.
(A Shanghai brand car of the year)
Soon after, one night when Wang Hui was driving Tan Longru home, the car stopped at the Suzhou River on Wanhangdu Road, and the two had a relationship in the carriage.
In the "Sin" report, he mentioned that after his first relationship with Wang Hui, he regretted it so much that he returned home and saw his wife" "Heart is like a knife, I really want to cry." I'm sorry for my wife, sorry for my son, sorry for my family. ”
According to Tan Longru, the day after the two had a relationship, Wang Hui had changed her face, she said: "Yesterday's incident happened, you should know what to do." I am a little girl, never married, how will I marry in the future? ”
After his arrest, Tan wrote: "My union with my wife has a solid foundation of love. We were both on the farm and later returned to Shanghai together. Our married life has always been harmonious. My wife is cultured and talented, was the captain of the Shanghai women's junior basketball team when she was a student, won the national championship, and won the first place in the Luwan District Mathematics Competition. And Wang Wucai is colorless, what do I want to do? ”
Yes, since he regretted it so much, thinking that Wang Hui was so unbearable, and Wang Hui showed a completely different face the next day as he said, so what was the purpose of talking about it?
After the first relationship, Wang Hui became pregnant and had an abortion in January and June 1989.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1989, Wang Hui became pregnant for the first time. She herself said that there was no way but to knock off the fetus now, and she agreed to give her 300 yuan and nutritional products such as honey ginseng.
According to Tan Longru, after this, Wang Hui began to pester, because he had promised to transfer her work and marry her. In order to get rid of Wang Hui, he transferred Wang Hui from the driver's post and let her manage the work of sending and receiving faxes. He even transferred out the agriculture, industry and commerce to Shanghai CHINA TRAVEL service as the general manager.
But his determination to get rid of Wang Hui didn't seem as firm as he said, and in the summer of 1989, Wang Hui became pregnant again.
Before Wang Hui became pregnant, the two once quarreled with the public security bureau. One night, Wang Hui took Tan Longru to WanhangDu Road at the back gate of Zhongshan Park and offered to talk about 200,000 yuan for her, and the two of them cut her off. Tan said that he did not have so much money, Wang Hui immediately cried on the street, and offered to report Tan Longru. After talking for a while, he was shocked and afraid, chased up and dragged Wang Hui, wanted to go out, and went to the public security bureau to make it clear. The two men walked to the Changning Public Security Bureau, and since it was late at night, only one policeman on duty was resting on the bamboo tower. At this time, Wang Hui suddenly softened, pulled Tan Longru and said, "Talk about it, let's talk about it tomorrow." "Going to the Public Security Bureau is over."
Soon after, when Wang Hui was not at home, she made an appointment with Tan Longru to negotiate at his house. First of all, he said that he had to cut off one of Tan's hands before breaking off the relationship, and he didn't dare to talk about it, and Wang Hui offered to let her poke three knives. Tan said in the confession: "That day, I wore a T-shirt, I stretched out my left arm, tightened my deltoid muscles, and let the king poke. Unexpectedly, Wang Dongzhen took out a fruit knife that had been prepared long ago, and stabbed my right arm three times, one of which was deeper, and the blood also flowed out. The king poked me and whisked away. I washed the blood with tap water, applied some medicine, put it on With Bundy, changed into a clean short-sleeved shirt, and threw away the bloodstained T-shirt. ”
Tan Long Ru originally thought that the price of these three knives could be exchanged for peace after that, but it was not long before Wang Hui came to Tan Ru Long and said that she was pregnant again. Tan was very angry and shouted, "Are you still unreasonable?" Do you still have a conscience? What do you really want me to do? Wang Hui proposed to accompany herself to the hospital, and at first she wanted to refuse, but because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, she still went to the hospital the next day and gave Wang 500 yuan for abortion.
Since abortion in the 90s still needs a unit certificate, so these two abortions, Tan Longru has personally issued a certificate: Here is Wang Hui, an employee of my unit, who is pregnant unmarried in the process of falling in love, please give abortion surgery. The stamping unit is Shanghai Rural Commercial, Industrial and Commercial United Enterprise Corporation.
From 1989 to 1993, Wang Hui and Tan Longru clashed continuously. He has been to Tan's house several times, and has quarreled and fought with his wife twice.
Tan's classmate revealed that at that time, Wang Hui called Tan Longru at seven o'clock every morning, and he had to go out every morning to answer the phone. Tan Longru did not want his wife to know, and once wanted to pay Wang Hui to travel around the world.
In October 1989, Wang Hui went to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to file a complaint, but the next day she overturned it.
In 1993, Wang Hui repeatedly called his wife's work unit to expose the issues he was talking about. Tan Longru, in the face of Wang Hui's behavior, once threatened: "You don't want to ruin me, so that everyone will not benefit." I will also be horizontal and vertical (horizontal and vertical: Shanghai dialect, that is, open-minded, the scalp, probably no matter what the meaning of the face). ”
By the summer of 1993, according to Tan's classmates, Tan Longru, who had a smooth career at that time, seemed to have encountered another major opportunity and had the possibility of being elected vice mayor.
But Wang Hui pestered endlessly, and several times she wanted to make trouble with the government department. Distressed, Tan Longru told his relationship with Wang Hui to jin Jian'an, the driver at the time. Jin Jian'an and Wang Hui are similar in origin, and their family and academic qualifications are not ideal. He followed Tan Longru for many years, and during his tenure, he received a salary increase and a house, and he was loyal to Tan, and Tan also regarded him as an iron brother and trusted him very much. Tan Longru confided his inner pain to Jin Jian'an, perhaps with the intention of borrowing Jin's hand to get rid of Wang Hui. He envisioned methods such as chronic poisons, traffic accidents, and snake bites, but Kim's attitude was not very firm, so he put it on hold.
Around August 1993, Wang Hui received several telephone intimidations from Tan Longru's appointees, and according to colleagues, Jin Jian'an had rushed to her unit to threaten.
Tan Longru's series of actions did not seem to scare Wang Hui, who was always entangled. One day, Tan Longru read a message in the newspaper, mentioning that many people were swept away by the tide and lost their lives while watching the tide in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province, and there was nowhere to find their bodies. Tan was inspired to think of killing Wang Hui and throwing him into the sea to destroy the body. He told Jin Jian'an his idea, and this time, Jin Jian'an did not shirk.
(Chaoyin Pavilion, Haiyan County, Zhejiang)
In early October 1993, Tan Longru and Jin Jian'an went to Haiyan, Zhejiang Province, twice to observe the crime site and check the tide situation. They set the date of the crime late at night on October 16.
Not knowing what signal Tan Longru gave, Wang Hui seemed to think that Tan was finally going to marry himself. On the 14th, she wrote a letter to Tan and prepared 4 photos, a household registration book and an ID card. On the morning of the 15th, Wang Hui asked her sister to send the letter to the office of the talk. In the afternoon, Tan and Wang Hui spoke on the phone, and the two agreed to meet on the evening of the 16th. On the evening of the 15th, Jin Jian'an came to Tan's house and determined with Tan Longru that the action plan would not change.
This murderous plan, which tan Longru seemed almost perfect, was as follows: On the evening of the 16th, Jin Jian'an first drove a Santana to Jiaxing Railway Station, waiting at the exit at about 23:00. At 20 o'clock, the tanyue wang set off from Shanghai to Jiaxing, and after leaving the station, he took Jin's car and went straight to the crime site they had already observed. They had the tools at their disposal: a wire, a knife to chop meat.
On the afternoon of October 16, Tan Longru called Jin to the office and once again confirmed whether the crime tools were all in place, Jin said that he was a little afraid, and Tan comforted: "Heaven knows, you know I know, no problem." According to Wang Hui's sister later, on the 16th, her sister was in a good mood and washed a lot of clothes during the day.
At about 7 p.m. on the 16th, Tan Longru ate dinner at home and met with Wang Hui at the southern end of the Jiangsu North Road Bridge. Wang Hui was a little excited, because she had accepted her letters and documents, and she thought that in the near future, the two could finally get married. Tan Longru took Wang On the pretext of going to Jiaxing to talk to Wang Hui and took Wang on a train to Jiaxing. According to the talk, at this time, he still hoped to better handle the relationship with Wang Hui and avoid murder, so after arriving in Jiaxing, he told Wang Hui in the waiting room that he could not take 200,000, but he could take 20,000 as compensation. Wang Hui's face darkened when she heard this, and she turned around and left, talking about catching up and saying that since the talks could not be discussed, she should still find a car to go back to Shanghai.
Out of the waiting room, Jin Jian'an was already waiting outside. Tan Longru took Wang Hui to the car driven by Jin and drove to the place where the crime had been investigated, near the Chaoyin Pavilion in Haiyan County. In the car, Wang Hui rested her head on Tan Longru and took a nap. At the beach, according to the talk, the car stopped, but at this time Wang Hui had not woken up. But according to the information on the official website of the Shanghai Local Chronicle, Tan began to violently strangle Wang Hui's neck and cover her mouth and nose during the drive. Wang Hui began to struggle, and Jin Jian'an stopped the car at this time, stepped forward to assist, and held Wang's hands. Wang Hui died of mechanical asphyxiation.
Tan described the crime in his transcript: "I was afraid to move, my people were trembling, and my teeth were trembling up and down. Thinking that there is no way out is really painful. I finally reached out my evil hand, put on my gloves, and covered the king's face with force. Wang struggled for two or three minutes without moving. Then, I took off her pants, cut off her head, threw her head into the sea, and then threw the body into the sea with Jin Jian'an. The time was one or two o'clock in the morning on October 17, 1993. ”
Tan Longru, who killed Wang Hui, had lived a peaceful life for a while, and in his opinion, the body had sunk into the sea, and the head and body were not in one place, and there was no proof of death.
On October 19, residents of Haiyan saw a human head on the beach and immediately reported it. According to information provided by another student, it was rumored that the head was found by the tide watchers in the gap of the bridge pier when the Tide was high. But when the police arrived, the heads had been washed away by the sea. On October 27, the headless body reappeared on the beach, this time brought back by the police. Although the Haiyan police conducted an investigation, the case was temporarily shelved due to the unknown source of the body.
On November 19, Tan Longru was summoned to a hotel for the first time by the police. He was not flustered, first denying his relationship with Wang Hui, and then talking to the police about his glorious past. The interrogation, which was not formal, lasted for two days and two nights, and there was no relent in the discussion. At this time, the police already had two tapes provided by Wang Hui's family that recorded Wang Hui's quarrels and private conversations with Tan, and the conversation did not know that he had long become the focus of the police's suspicions, and did not throw out this important physical evidence for the time being, just to give him a chance to take the initiative to confess.
On December 2, Tan Longru was formally detained and summoned by the police. The police also spoke to Tan's wife, but she denied Talking about her relationship with Wang Hui.
After another two days and two nights of interrogation, Tan Longru still did not admit his relationship with Wang Hui. On December 8, Xu's interrogation for several consecutive days destroyed the psychological defense line of the talk, and his speech began to loosen somewhat, and the police threw out the tape at this time, and his defense line completely collapsed. By 9:30 a.m. in December, Tan Longru explained the whole process of the crime and also confessed to the accomplice Jin Jian'an.
Shanghai police rushed to Haiyan and extracted the fingerprints and hairs of the headless body, which were identified as consistent with Wang Hui.
On May 16, 1994, the Shanghai Intermediate People's Court sentenced Tan Longru to death for intentional homicide and deprived him of his political rights for life, and Jin Jian'an to life imprisonment for intentional homicide and deprivation of political rights for life.
Tan Longru's classmates said that on the day of Tan's execution, Tan's wife brought a group of people to prepare to go to the "law robbery field", and cried a mess after failing.
After talking about the case itself, I would like to talk about the limitations of the 1990s era and the sense of male gaze that I felt in the search for information.
Although the report "Sin" was published in 2012, it was written in 1998. When it comes to talking about his career, he writes: "As soon as this weakness was exposed, it was tightly grasped by the king, just like he had a 'time bomb' in his waist, and the string was grasped in the king's hand." "I think that Tan Long is like a bomb in his waist, he detonated it himself, Wang Hui was only involved in this extramarital affair, she could not control a grown man who was 9 years older than her."
Another example is the conclusion of the report: "Men, when you are in front of women, you must polish your eyes, do not touch what you should not touch, and do not forget the word 'color' on the head of a 'knife'." "It seems that the ending of the dialogue is quite regrettable.
In the memories of tan classmates, one is an intellectual and enterprise boss who is good-looking, one meter tall and eight meters tall and talks about Sven, and the other is a female driver with ordinary appearance and low education and origin. Perhaps because there are huge differences in these aspects, many people regret the talk after the incident. They said
Wang Hui is a white bone essence, Tan Long is like a Tang monk, and the white bone essence wants to eat Tang monk meat.
The most important theme of the article is that "young cadres with great prospects are destroyed on the knife edge of the word 'color'." ”
Tan Longru said that he killed Wang Hui in order to "keep his reputation", but he also thought (as he unilaterally said) that the day after the two had their first relationship, Wang Hui said that "the little girl has not been married, and I will be told how to marry in the future" Unbelievable.
As mentioned above, tan longru was stabbed three times by Wang Hui, only one knife saw blood, or the degree of sticking with Bondi after tap water was cleaned, but Wang Hui became pregnant twice and aborted in just half a year.
Tan Longru's attitude toward Wang Hui's pregnancy and abortion, as if he were irrelevant, was put together by Wang Hui. The report repeatedly mentioned that every time Tan heard the news of Wang Hui's pregnancy, he was "blue in the face" and "angry and yelled", and in the recording of the quarrel between the two recorded by Wang Hui, Tan also questioned Wang Hui: "Are you made of special materials?" How to get pregnant at the touch? ”
After the incident, Tan Rulong wrote a 51-page confession after his arrest, describing how he regretted it. The first draft of the confession was originally 40 pages, and he thought that the number of pages was not very auspicious, and expanded it to 11 pages, he said, "1" of 51, has the meaning of coming out.
This letter of repentance, in my opinion, is full of hypocrisy, he spoke at length about his regrets and helplessness, and also mentioned, "If possible, give me some opportunities during this period, let me contact foreign and foreign friends, let them come to Shanghai to invest in some projects, let me do something for the country, projects that are already being carried out, I try my best to find ways to make them not cancel and withdraw, the government has something for me to do, I will try my best to complete." Again, I ask the government, on the basis of my life's performance and the appearance of my poor wife, to spare me the death penalty and give me a glimmer of life. "Trying to trade profits for survival.
The film "Sin", which was adapted from the event, was released in 1996. The film also intersects with the well-known case of Yang Yuxia's sulfuric acid disfigurement case in Shanghai that I wrote about in the 90s (click to view), in which the radio that the male protagonist listened to twice while driving was discussing the Yang case. Yang's case was in full swing at the time and was eventually tried in public and sentenced to death. And this case, however, is so sparsely documented.
"Sin" starred Zhou Lijing and Jin Qiaoqiao. The main line of the story is basically the same as the real events, and the male protagonist is also a young and promising leading cadre, but has made some adaptations in the encounter with the female driver and the process of killing.
Jin Qiaoqiao, who was in her early 20s in the movie, is different from Wang Hui in the description of tan, she is very beautiful, when the male and female protagonists first met, she behaved as the male protagonist said" as "wild and difficult to tame", and the setting of the character traits seems to be to allude to the unstable and paranoid personality of the characters in the follow-up.
In the 1 hour and 30 minutes of the movie, only the first 20 minutes or so can feel the emotional tension between the two people. This extramarital affair began with the male protagonist's car and the female protagonist's transport truck on the road, and the female protagonist's driving skills were excellent, attracting the attention of the male protagonist. The secretary was keenly aware of the leader's attention to the big beauty and privately contacted her to be the driver of the male protagonist.
But as the story progresses, the female driver who was passively found by the secretary seems to have deliberately seduced the male protagonist, mentioning that she is 25 years old, and it is difficult to meet such a man, and she will not let go.
After a short period of mutual attraction, the two become a game of cat and mouse, and the heroine has an emotional breakdown from time to time and threatens to commit suicide.
She even went to school privately to pick up the daughter of the male protagonist and brought her home, and played the recording of the intimate time with the male protagonist to her daughter.
The female driver not only tried to destroy the man's family, but also designed a businessman to send her money without the man's knowledge, which was used to blackmail the man for corruption. And the male protagonist is not premeditated, but forced to be helpless and passionately killed.
The boss of the state-owned enterprise who is in the ascendant is almost portrayed as a victim who has fallen into the mud step by step. And the beautiful female driver, becomes a paranoid female madman.
The slogan on the movie poster reads: "She is a black rose with thorns, playing with men between the palms of her hands... Work in the heart, seek wealth and kill people. ”
This copy is confusing, especially the phrase "seeking money and killing people". The subject of this sentence is "she", that is, the female driver, but although the female driver in the movie is barely worthy of making money, she is the victim of "killing". An evil woman who seems to turn her hand over to the clouds and rain in the film's promotional slogan is the object of murder in the story.
