Recently, Song Pengfei, deputy political commissar and second-level police chief of the criminal police detachment of the Changsha Public Security Department of the Guangzhou Railway Public Security Bureau, was awarded the title of second-level hero model of the national public security system. On May 27, Song Pengfei's national public security system second-level hero model title naming and commendation meeting was held in the Changsha Public Security Department of Guangzhou Railway Public Security Bureau.
The title of Second-Class Heroic Model of the National Public Security System is a national honor. On that day, Song Pengfei, whose police uniform was covered with medals of honor, confessed that he was "very happy and very excited." Why did this police officer who has been a police officer for 18 years get this title? What is the story of him?
<b>A year of experience in the police on duty has contributed to the dream of anti-pickpocketing</b>
In 2003, Song Pengfei, who graduated from the police academy, came to Changsha and became a police officer on duty at the Changsha Railway Public Security Department's Changsha Station Police Station. "The work of the police on duty is mainly to maintain order, serve the masses, wear uniforms every day, and commute to work on time." A year later, the entire railway system launched the "Iron Eagle Operation", recruited a group of investigators in various public security offices, set up an "Iron Eagle Detachment", and carried out anti-pickpocketing attacks throughout the country.
During his year on duty at the station, Song Pengfei met some passengers who had been stolen money, some of them were parents who took their children to school with borrowed tuition fees, and some were patients who went to the provincial city with the medical expenses they collected. "After they were stolen money, some of them cried and cried, and some of them were silent, but the helpless look in their eyes touched me very much." Song Pengfei recalled that at that time, he thought about going to "do anti-pickpocketing and catch thieves."
After seizing the opportunity, Song Pengfei found that the work content of the anti-pickpocketing police was completely different from before. To this day, he still remembers the first failed experience of catching thieves. "At that time, in the waiting room of Changsha Railway Station, the master asked me to follow a suspected thief, and I followed the other party around the waiting room, watching him pickpocket on a sleeping passenger." At that time, Song Pengfei did not know what to do, after asking the master, the two decided that the master would ask the owner to confirm whether he had lost something, and Song Pengfei continued to follow the suspect.
"I watched the other person go into the bathroom and thought he couldn't run." Therefore, Song Pengfei stood guard at the door of the toilet. After the master came over and learned that the suspect had entered the toilet, he said: "Broken, people may be gone." The two went into the toilet and found that the suspect had indeed escaped through the window.
Song Pengfei's second arrest of the suspect was still not smooth. "Although I usually have training, when I catch the other party, my brain is blank, my hands are stiff, my heart beats very fast, but I don't know whether to scratch the other party's hands and feet or hair." Song Pengfei said that he was on the train at the time, and when he saw the other party carrying out pickpocketing, he was excited and scared in his heart. "I wanted the other party to steal something out so we could catch him, but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch him."
<b>To familiarize yourself with the smell of pickpockets stay with them in the hotel</b>
Today, Song Pengfei has entered the 18th year of joining the police, cracking more than 320 cases of theft of travel property, including more than 50 major cases, 18 criminal gangs, and more than 500 criminal suspects. After years of experience, what he is best at is "identifying pickpockets".
"I've been doing this for a long time, sometimes I glance at them, or the other person walks past me, and I can basically determine whether they are pickpockets or not based on the smell they emit." Song Pengfei said that this sounds a bit magical, but it is the truth. "They (pickpockets) and the environment we live in are different, the rules of life are different, most of them live in broken hotels, these places are cheap, but also dirty and messy, in the zero years, a dozen yuan can live a night." 」
In order to familiarize himself with the smell of pickpockets, Song Pengfei also lived with them in such a broken hotel. "I live next door to them." Song Pengfei recalled that the quilts in the hotel were blackened, and there were rats running on the ground, which made people dare not open the quilts. In addition, the smell peculiar to this hotel, similar to the smell of pickpockets, also made him extremely sensitive to it.
Although most of the cases that Song Pengfei has solved are mainly travel and financial cases, which are not called any major cases, he believes that every time he sees the thief bow his head and confess guilt, and the owner of the lost person takes back the lost and recovered items, his mood becomes relieved and he throws a look of appreciation and recognition to the police, he thinks that this is his sense of accomplishment and the motivation for him to persevere. "Catching thieves is often in the middle of the night, if you get up at this time in the winter to work, it will indeed be the same as running, you want to give up anytime and anywhere, but there is always a sense of accomplishment, it will make me stick to it." 」
<b>In order to successfully capture pickpockets, he once disguised himself as various characters</b>
The thieves caught more, and Song Pengfei became an "acquaintance" of the thieves. Song Pengfei, who was born in Heilongjiang, was also given a title of "Little Northeast" by thieves. As soon as the pickpockets found Song Pengfei, they would report to each other: "'Little Northeast' is coming!" Therefore, in order not to let the other party recognize, in more than ten years of anti-pickpocketing career, Song Pengfei has dressed up as a tramp and a college student, played a salesman and a car driver, and also played a cleaner.
Song Pengfei admitted that his height is relatively high, in fact, it is not suitable for the line of anti-pickpocketing. "Suitable for anti-pickpocketing, not too tall or too short, not too fat or too thin, in short, it is to be inconspicuous, so that others can't recognize you at a glance, can't find you." To this end, Song Pengfei began to think about how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and turned his disadvantages into advantages. "Growing taller, having a wider field of vision, and being able to see farther is one of my strengths."
He told reporters that previously, many thieves would look for criminal targets on the road from the fast food restaurant in front of the train station to the entrance to the station entrance. If you are also like a passenger, if you walk over, you will easily be "targeted" by thieves. To this end, he chose a relatively static role in the environment - the tramp in the corridor and corner, "make a dirty woven bag, plus a bed of broken quilts, so that no one thinks that you are an anti-pickpocket policeman." ”
Once at Changsha Station, Song Pengfei tracked a thief, and the other party sneaked several platforms without success. In order to prevent the thief from becoming suspicious, Song Pengfei walked into the tool room in front of him, quickly changed into a cleaner's clothes, carried long fire tongs, lowered the brim of his hat, and approached the thief while picking up cigarette butts. Just when the passenger got out of the car to buy something, the thief saw that the opportunity had come, and just stole a wallet to slip away, Song Pengfei threw away the fire tongs and showed the handcuffs. The thief stared at him in shock and said, "How come even the people who do sanitation are policemen?" ”
"If you can integrate yourself into the environment, so that the pickpockets can look at the past without finding you, seeing a whole, you are only part of the whole, then this is the disguise of success." 」
